After sending away Princess Tongchang.
Wen Qinsang also took the initiative to go to the study.
After Chen Anning administered the acupuncture to the eldest princess, while pretending to be mentally exhausted and leaning in a chair to rest, the eldest princess asked her to stay for lunch without any surprise.
Chen Anning remembered Wen Qinsang's Ganoderma lucidum and readily agreed.
The eldest princess saw that her resistance to Wen Qinsang was not as great as last time. After asking Nanny Li to invite Wen Qinsang back, she made an excuse and went back to the house to rest, leaving some space for them young people.
Princess Tongchang couldn't sit still, so she could chat for a while and then suggested: "How about playing chess?"
Wen Qinsang looked at Chen Anning and listened to her opinion.
Chen Anning remembered what he said last time that he didn't want to play chess with her, but wanted to give her Ganoderma lucidum, and nodded: "Okay."
The chessboard was brought up and placed on the soft couch.
Princess Tongchang stood aside knowingly and gave her seat to the two of them.
Wen Qinsang holds the black chess piece and makes the first move.
His chess style remains as gentle as before.
Although Chen Anning coveted his Ganoderma lucidum, he did not give in and continued to attack fiercely.
After the thirteenth child, Wen Qinsang's moves gradually slowed down, "There were no casualties in the previous disappearances. Why was there an accident this time?"
After Chen Anning followed him, he replied: "It should be that Mr. Xie's defense is too tight, and the other party is afraid that he will follow the clues and catch them."
Wen Qinsang raised his eyelids slightly and looked up at her: "The missing boy and girl all seem to have pretty good looks."
Chen Anning joked: "Why, Mr. Wen also likes to investigate cases?"
Wen Qinsang said gently: "When my classmates have nothing to do, they will argue a few words about this case. After listening to it more often, they will inevitably express a few opinions out of curiosity. However, I cannot thank you for your courage. Secondly, I cannot thank you for your decisiveness, and thirdly, I cannot thank you for your acumen. Let’s talk about it calmly, but if we really want to investigate the case, then forget it.”
Chen Anning nodded in approval: "It is indeed not a simple matter to investigate the case, especially such a large-scale serial disappearance case. There is probably a huge underground organization hidden behind it. If the arrest is not confirmed as soon as possible, there may be more Boys and girls are missing.”
Wen Qinsang listened to the determination in her tone when she said these words, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Chen Er likes to investigate cases?"
"No one likes investigating a crime! Especially not..." a forensic scientist! After Chen Anning swallowed the last half of the sentence silently, he said casually, "The cases that fall into Mr. Xie's hands all involve human lives. I believe that if possible, he is the one who most hopes that there will be no case."
Princess Tongchang retorted: "But if there is no case, wouldn't he, the minister of Dali Temple, have nothing to do?"
Chen Anning said quietly: "Then the princess wants him to do nothing, or does murder happen from time to time?"
Princess Tongchang didn't even think about it, so she blurted out: "Of course I have nothing to do!"
After saying that, she quickly glanced at Wen Qinsang and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Chen Er seems to admire Mr. Xie very much?"
"What I admire is not Mr. Xie." Chen Anning said calmly, "What I admire is anyone who sincerely works for the people."
Princess Tongchang tilted her head, "But they are only doing what they should do."
A matter of personal responsibility?
Chen Anning smiled and said nothing.
Princess Tongchang looked at her, "Am I wrong?"
"It's not that what you said is wrong, but because of your status, you are the least qualified to say this." Wen Qinsang said softly, "The Wei Dynasty has a vast territory, and the total number of officials, large and small, is not ten thousand, but eight Thousands. Among these eight thousand officials, how many are able to do what Mr. Xie did to investigate the murderer, regardless of the likes and dislikes of others, and at the expense of turning the capital upside down?"
"Master Xie, why did you do this?"
"For the common people." Princess Tongchang said flatly. Xie Xun's identity really made it impossible for her to tell him that he was doing it for herself.
"To put it simply, it is for the people." Wen Qinsang spoke again, his voice still soft, "Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can they perform corvee and pay taxes properly. Only if they perform corvee and pay taxes properly can the country become more and more prosperous. The more prosperous and powerful the country is, the more prosperous and powerful the country will be, the better it will be."
"In other words, every piece of fine clothing and food you enjoy is provided by the people of Wei Dynasty."
"And the reason why the people of Wei Dynasty support you is precisely because there are people like Mr. Xie who only work for the people."
Princess Tongchang was deeply touched by his words, but then she immediately said: "You are trying to increase other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige!"
Wen Qinsang smiled lightly: "You are wrong again. Mr. Xie is as good as Mr. Xie, and I am good at myself. Ignoring the good of others because of my own good does not mean that I want to increase my prestige and destroy the ambition of others. It’s called short-sightedness.”
Princess Tongchang groaned: "What nonsense, it makes me dizzy. Anyway, no matter what you say, you are right!"
Wen Qinsang chuckled, "Only when you are reasonable can you tell the truth. No matter how much you say it is unreasonable, it is unreasonable."
"I won't tell you anymore!" Princess Tongchang sat next to Chen Anning and screamed at her to kill him quickly.
Wen Qinsang shook his head helplessly.
More than half an hour later.
The chess game is over.
Not surprisingly, it was a draw again.
Princess Tongchang cheered, "No one is giving in to anyone this time!"
Wen Qinsang nodded, the light in his eyes flowing silently, "Indeed, no one gave in to anyone."
After playing chess with her last time, he went back to Guozi School and specifically asked his classmates to play chess.
But without exception, no one is his opponent.
No one is even worthy of his full strength.
He looked up at Chen Anning and saw that her face was pale and cold sweat kept falling on her forehead. Her heart sank. After asking her grandma to quickly bring the ginseng tea to her, she said apologetically: "I was only focused on playing chess and I forgot about you." My body can't bear it anymore."
"It's okay." Chen Anning drank the ginseng tea without any waste and said gently, "I'm just a little exhausted."
Princess Tongchang exclaimed, "Yes, why didn't I think of that!"
Chen Anning and Wen Qinsang looked at her at the same time.
Princess Tongchang also looked at the two of them with bright eyes: "Miss Chen Er only played chess with her cousin after she gave her mother acupuncture! You must know that after Miss Chen Er gave her mother acupuncture, her energy was already exhausted. Even if I play chess with my cousin with too much energy, I can still draw a tie. If I don’t use too much energy, wouldn’t I be able to defeat my cousin without any ability to resist?”
The light in Wen Qinsang's eyes couldn't help but flow again, "The princess is right, I took advantage."
Chen Anning, who pretended to be too exhausted, chose to remain silent.
Had lunch.
After a short rest, when Chen Anning stood up to say goodbye, Wen Qinsang took the initiative to see her off.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving one after another.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Miss Chen Er and Mr. Wen are getting along better and better."
"I can't see it," Princess Tongchang retorted, "Miss Chen Er is still as lukewarm to her cousin as she was last time. She is willing to let him give it to her, but she is just coveting the few plants in her hands. It's just Ganoderma lucidum. But my cousin seems to have a good impression of Miss Chen Er."
The eldest princess smiled and asked, "Isn't it bad to have a good impression?"
"There's nothing wrong with having a good impression," Princess Tongchang changed her blathering in front of Chen Anning and said in a mature and calm manner, "It's just that my cousin has always been gentle to others on the surface but alienated in secret. Now he is treating Miss Chen Er like this So, I’m afraid it’s just a waste of joy.”
Aunt Li smiled and said: "The princess is worried that Mr. Wen can't compare to Mr. Xie?"
