Chapter 152: A Fistful Heart
Shen Ruoyan snorted coldly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
Jiang Chengfeng poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Miss, if I were given another chance, I would still make the same choice! In life, there are some things you can do and some things you must do! Do you understand what I mean?"
Seeing someone's serious expression, Shen Ruoyan glared at him unhappily and said, "Tell me, how did Mr. Zhu provoke you?"
Jiang Chengfeng briefly recounted what happened on the riverbank, but when Shen Ruoyan heard Zhu Kewei cursing the civilians as untouchables, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Some people just feel good about themselves, thinking that everyone can be bullied, and wantonly trampling on the dignity of others. I will beat such people every time I see them!"
Shen Ruoyan remained silent. She also agreed with Jiang Chengfeng's words. The young masters of the aristocratic families were born with a sense of superiority and did not take ordinary people seriously at all. It was normal for them to beat and scold them at will.
In fact, Shen Ruoyan can be said to be a strong woman who dominates the business world, but in this era of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, the status of businessmen has always been low, and there is no way for them to truly integrate into the circle of Zhu Kewei and others.
"I understand what you said!" Shen Ruoyan smiled bitterly and said, "Farmers and merchants are the most looked down upon and despised! Isn't the Shen family the same?"
Jiang Chengfeng was silent. In his opinion, farmers and businessmen have made great contributions to the country's agricultural and commercial development, but they are treated coldly. And those so-called talented men and women, who can only recite poems and write essays and have no practical use, are praised as the pillars of the country. This fucked-up reality makes Jiang Chengfeng both angry and helpless.
Shen Ruoyan sighed and turned to look at Jiang Chengfeng, "You—are you not hurt?"
Jiang Chengfeng grinned, "Thank you for your concern, Miss! I have thick skin and flesh, how could I be injured?"
Shen Ruoyan's beautiful eyes rolled back, "You seem to be enjoying beating people up outside! But have you ever thought about it? The person you beat up was the son You've caused a big disaster!"
Seeing Shen Ruoyan's worried look, Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly. So what if he's a prefect? He's just a mayor. I, Jiang, have the support of the governor!
"Miss, you are worrying too much!" Jiang Chengfeng couldn't bear to see Shen Ruoyan worried, so he consoled her, "This matter won't affect the Shen family. Have you forgotten my friendship with the governor's son?"
Shen Ruoyan was angry, spat, and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I worry about bringing trouble to the Shen family? Since you work for the Shen family, if anything happens, it will naturally be borne by my Shen family!"
This is a blatant defense of one's shortcomings! Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but be moved. This girl really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She is quite loyal. It's worth my loyalty to the Shen family!
Speaking of this, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "You are so ignorant and always causing trouble! If I don't punish you severely, I'm afraid you won't learn your lesson!"
"Then fine me half a month's salary!" Jiang Chengfeng immediately stood up, looking serious. Of course, he was so proactive because of Shen Ruoyan's protection just now !
"No!" Hearing that this guy was trying to evade the main issue, Shen Ruoyan was both angry and amused. She immediately frowned and said, "You will be fined for two months and you will be beaten with thirty sticks!"
Damn it, spanking again! Can't this girl try another way of punishment? For example, whipping with wax or something like that——
Jiang Chengfeng didn't want to be beaten, so he immediately retorted: "Okay, okay! I'll give in a little bit and deduct three months' salary! I won't have to beat you with a stick!"
Three months would cost nearly one hundred taels of silver, and Jiang Chengfeng felt the pain in his heart again.
Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes, knowing that she couldn't beat this guy with a stick, so she said, "You can be exempted from the beating, but you have to agree to one request of mine!"
"You say!" Jiang Chengfeng refilled his teacup with hot tea. He didn't think of himself as a servant at all, and his tone of voice became much softer.
"You must promise not to act rashly in the future, so as to avoid getting into trouble!" Shen Ruoyan advised earnestly.
Jiang Chengfeng thought about it and nodded, "Okay! As long as others don't provoke me, I won't provoke others!"
Shen Ruoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was extremely difficult to make this bastard say such words!
Jiang Chengfeng, who was drinking tea, noticed that Shen Ruoyan still had a bitter look on her face. He thought she was still worried about what happened today, so he whispered, "Miss, you don't have to worry. The Governor is here to help me!"
Shen Ruoyan glared at him, "Do you know? Miss Ye came to the Shen Mansion and told me about what happened today? Although she said that I can rest assured, how can I be at ease? The trouble you caused today is too big. Miss Ye is just a woman, how can she take good care of you?"
Jiang Chengfeng was stunned. It turned out that it was that girl Ye Lingshuang who came to inform the eldest lady!
Shen Ruoyan sighed, pondered for a while, and then said: "I'm going to Huazhou tomorrow, you come with me!"
"Huazhou? What are you going there for?"
"Huazhou is holding an annual business meeting, and the president of the Huazhou Chamber of Commerce invited me to attend! Moreover, Huazhou is no worse than Huayang, so it would be beneficial to go there and take a look!" Shen Ruoyan said.
Jiang Chengfeng frowned. He actually heard another meaning in Miss Shen's words, which was that she wanted him to go to Huazhou to avoid the limelight.
In fact, Jiang Chengfeng was not worried about this matter at all. If Ye Duo couldn't even handle this matter, he wouldn't be the governor! Besides, isn't there a bigger master behind Ye Duo?
Of course, Miss Shen made such an arrangement, and Jiang Chengfeng didn't want to spoil her fun. To put it bluntly, it was a public-funded trip, which was also a good thing, so he nodded and smiled, "Thank you for the invitation, Miss!"
Shen Ruoyan responded in a low voice, "In that case! Go back and rest! Get ready and set off early tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, she turned and left, but was stopped by Jiang Chengfeng.
"I just suddenly remembered that Qingdie is still fasting in Hongfa Temple! We should bring her back. At worst, we can build a Buddhist temple for her in the mansion and chant Buddha's name in it every day!"
Shen Ruoyan's beautiful eyes rolled back, "Of course I know that! I brought her back this morning!"
"Really?" Jiang Chengfeng's eyes lit up.
"Jiang Dazhu, I have warned you so many times! You are not allowed to have any ideas about Qingdie!" Speaking of this, Shen Ruoyan turned into a ferocious monster again. She has said this many times, but someone has always turned a deaf ear to it. It is really annoying!
Jiang Chengfeng laughed and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, what did you talk about with Ah Hui last night?"
