Just right, in the future An Que will no longer be just a scholar. The fields at home need to be managed, everything needs to be done. He's giving An Que an early opportunity for experience.
An Que will definitely be grateful to him later.
Brother Qing Ke: "..."
Why does he feel that Brother Ziyu has become scheming?
Although he also looks down on An Que, he never really thought about exploiting An Que, as long as An Que stays out of his affairs, that's fine.
"Do as you see fit, but Brother Ziyu, today's matter must not be acknowledged after today, do you understand?" he reminded.
Although these deceptive acts were ordered by Mr. Shi, the means were not morally upright.
With their reputation as scholars, doing such things hinders their future reputation. They should deny it if possible, outright claiming ignorance.
This is also to prevent the possibility of An Que turning on them.
"I know, I know, how could I not know?"
