Chapter 672 Dad is very wise, accountability
"Okay, with so many people protecting you, you won't be scared. We have sent Daya and the others back to sleep, so we can relax." Jiang Fugui comforted Shen when he saw the sadness on her face.
"Master, what job is the young man doing? I feel scared, and those people outside..." Shen was anxious and worried.
"We can't help Xiaolang, so just relax. As long as we don't hold him back, Xiaolang will know what to do."
Jiang Fugui held Shen's shoulders, patted her, and said, "Since she has chosen this path, she can only go all the way."
Shen sighed, and then heard Jiang Youzhen's voice coming from outside the house.
"The mansion is closed these days. Except for the few close ones who came in the past, no one else will be seen. You stay in the mansion, and the master and his wife should not leave the house either."
"Yes! Young master, I will give the order right away." Luo Manliang's voice came from outside.
"Have the master and the mistress gone to bed?" Jiang Youzhen glanced at the candlelight in the room and knew that the couple could not sleep.
"No!" Luo Manliang sighed. In fact, everyone in the mansion felt the same way!
"Is that Xiaolang? Come in!" Shen heard Jiang Youzhen's voice and shouted hurriedly.
Jiang Youzhen lifted the curtain and entered the main room, where he found the couple sitting opposite each other and talking.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Where are your elder sister and the others?" Jiang Youzhen asked with a smile.
"Tell them to go back and rest. They don't have to stay up late with us." When Shen saw Jiang Youzhen come in, she found that her daughter had become much more stable.
She suddenly remembered that Jiang Youzhen was the cheerful and lively girl before, but now her every move was extremely majestic.
"Don't worry, Dad and Mom. Within five days, our house will be back to normal."
Jiang Youzhen calculated that everything would be settled in five days, and all that was left was just the finishing touches, which wouldn't cause any major trouble.
"What are you investigating? You look very sinister. Have you offended a lot of people? Do they want to kill you?"
Shen was just a peasant woman before, how could she have seen these things before? The highest official she had ever seen was the county magistrate, a local official with great prestige, how could she have thought that she would be assassinated after becoming an official?
"If it really doesn't work, let's just give up this position. It's not worth losing our lives!" Shen stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Youzhen's hand, unable to stop worrying.
Her wish is to live in peace and prosperity and not have to worry about food and clothing.
When Jiang Youzhen saw the worry and fear in Shen's eyes, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
She was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Now that I think about it, maybe she was really too selfish? She was determined to do what she wanted, and only wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official, without considering the wishes of her family.
"What the hell are you talking about! How can we turn back now? Just now we said that we can't help Xiaolang, but we can't hold him back either. It's not easy for Xiaolang to get to where he is today, how can we say such things?"
Jiang Fugui knew that Jiang Youzhen was talented and ambitious, so how could she be willing to live a dull life? Wouldn't that be burying her?
He has no special ability, just support.
"The life and property of our entire clan is pinned on Xiao Lang. The entire clan has no help. Such a heavy burden is already suffocating for her. Now that you say this, can you ask the clan leader if he agrees? Do the Jiang clan members agree? Then..."
Jiang Fugui pointed in the direction of the imperial palace, but ultimately did not say anything.
"It's just like what the scholars say, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. We have no choice now, except to go all the way to the end, that is, to hide our identities with the whole family. Do you think this is feasible? So many people have left their homes, are they willing to do so?"
Jiang Fugui had not received much education, and was only able to read and write, but he understood one thing: once Jiang Youzhen had brought the entire clan to glory, the clan would never allow her to turn back.
Shen was stunned, and finally could only sigh, "I just feel that my life is in danger."
"You go and rest first, Xiaolang, come with me to the study!" Jiang Fugui said as he walked towards the small study room outside.
Jiang Youzhen walked to the table and Jiang Fugui poured her a cup of tea.
"Don't take your mother's words to heart. I still say the same thing. The tribe is waiting for you to bring honor to the family. Believe it or not, if I tell the tribe leader that you are a girl, he will shut me up."
"Ah?" Jiang Youzhen was surprised.
"You have already helped the clan rise up and are about to change the clan. Can he tolerate this? He will definitely help us keep it a secret, so you don't have to feel guilty. If you want wealth and glory, you have to pay the price."
Jiang Fugui's expression was very serious, and Jiang Youzhen suddenly felt warm in his heart. Was he seeing that he felt guilty and coming to comfort him?
"Our Jiang family is now in high spirits in the village. Who doesn't respect the clan leader when he goes out? And all this is because of you. Without you, our Jiang family would still be digging for food in the fields.
The children of the clan can read and write, and the clan members all rely on the clan's fields to have food and clothing, but while enjoying these, they have to pay a price. "
Jiang Youzhen was really shocked this time. She looked at her father who looked honest on the outside, and didn't expect that he was so sensible.
"What's wrong? Do you think your father has suddenly become bolder and can accomplish great things?" Jiang Fugui saw Jiang Youzhen stunned and burst out laughing twice.
Jiang Youzhen nodded heavily, and then gave a thumbs up, "Dad is very wise!"
"That's right! After all, I am older and have seen more than you." Jiang Fugui nodded proudly, feeling happy.
"Your mother is just a little bit ignorant, so don't bother with her. Just wait and see! In a few days, when the matter is over, she will be happy again. Now she has made friends with several ladies, and they have tea and fun together whenever they want."
Seeing Jiang Youzhen smile, Jiang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief. He had never seen his daughter so sentimental before! She had finally grown up.
"If you really feel guilty towards your people, then donate more sacrificial fields when you go back to visit your family this time!"
Jiang Youzhen came out of the study, feeling much more relaxed than before.
She has never been one to dwell on the past. Since she has chosen this path, she will naturally go all the way.
However, this incident reminded her that she had to find an opportunity to prepare a paradise for the Jiang family, so that if something unexpected happened in the future, the Jiang family would have a way out.

"Snapped!"
A memorial suddenly flew over and hit Li Weijian who was kneeling below. The memorial flew past his face, and the sharp corner scratched the skin on his cheek, and blood immediately flowed out.
Li Weijian was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to wipe it off.
"I support you useless people. In the past, I turned a blind eye to your greed, but your appetites are getting bigger and bigger. You dare to take any money!"
