Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Since he mentioned it, I couldn't hide it anymore, so I told him honestly that the clothes belonged to my savior. However, the man was wearing a mask and I was a little scared at the time, so I didn't say a few words to him before he left.

"Wearing a mask, someone you don't know?" Situ Jue didn't doubt what I said, he was just thinking and speculating.

I added, "I told him that I was from Zhenbei Palace, maybe he knows you."

Situ Jue smiled faintly, "Then I must repay this favor." As he spoke, he instructed Lei Ming, who was standing by the outer door, "Go to the princess and get the man's clothes she wore last night."

Lei Ming heard the voice and came in to listen to the instructions, his expression a little stunned, "Is it your clothes, Your Majesty?"

I stood up and interrupted, "Why don't I go get it? It should still be in my room."

"Sit down!" Situ Jue raised his voice and explained to Lei Ming, "The one the princess was wearing when she came back from outside last night!"

Lei Ming was smart after all. He reacted immediately, answered and turned around to leave.

Later, someone from the Xu Mansion delivered a letter to me. It was a letter from Su Mei.

She apologized to me, saying that if she hadn't invited me to sit in the teahouse, there wouldn't have been a sudden fire. I was overwhelmed by her sincere apology. At the end, she mentioned that the reason she couldn't come in person was that she had just found out that she was pregnant, and because of what happened last night, the fetus was a little unstable, so she had to stay at home to take care of the baby.

As a result, she will not be able to attend the flower-viewing banquet held at Princess Pingyang's Mansion next month.

After I finished reading the letter, I looked up and saw Situ Jue staring at me, so I handed the letter to him and asked, "Do you want to read it?"

"No, you women don't have to tell me about your little talk."

I deliberately provoked him, "Sister Mei is pregnant, and Lord Xu is protecting her like the apple of his eye. He wants her to stay at home to take care of her baby and he even wants her to stay in bed all day. You won't be able to see her for a while."

"I've already told you that I have nothing to do with her. You don't have to test me anymore." He sat up straight, looking like he really didn't care.

"I understand. She is a taboo topic for you. You can only keep her in your heart and not talk about her. So I won't say it anymore in the future." I made a zippering motion at my lips, and I didn't know if he could see it or not.

After a while, Lei Ming came back with the clothes.

The maid washed, dried, and fumigated it for me early in the morning, and then neatly placed it in a wooden box. I was originally planning to buy a new set of similar style to send to the Jade-faced Yama together with this old one.

But now Situ Jue has taken on this job. Although I didn't say who it was, he must have a way to find out. The material of this dress is not something that ordinary people can wear. By the way, it's also good to let him go and repay the life-saving grace. After all, it was Situ Jue who suggested going to the Lantern Festival, and he will be responsible if something goes wrong.

Before the fire, I was also deeply impressed by the scene next door where a fight broke out over a prostitute, which almost resulted in a death. I also didn't believe that he rescued me without any personal motives. It's better to keep a distance from such people.

Unexpectedly, after Situ Jue looked at the clothes carefully, he immediately recognized its owner.

"It was too dark last night, so I didn't look carefully. But you brought a good guy to me." He looked at me while speaking. Although he had a smile on his face, that smile inexplicably made people feel very dangerous.

"Do you know who he is?" I was still a little skeptical. What was so special about this clothes? Was he trying to trick me?

Situ Jue lifted the sleeve for me to see. By tilting the fabric to a certain angle, I could see some silver thread embroidery hidden at the cuffs, which seemed to be an animal pattern.

"What is this embroidery? If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it."

"The family crest of the Wang family of Huzhou," he explained.

I thought to myself, hey, Huzhou is still hundreds of miles away from the capital, you guessed wrong, kid.

On the surface, I pretended to be ignorant and continued to ask, "So it's a family with the surname Wang?"

"You don't know the Wang family of Huzhou?" He looked surprised.

It sounds familiar, I should have an impression of it, I tried to search in my original memory, vaguely remembering that the Wang family was very famous in the previous dynasty, a military family, and had produced several great generals and frontier officials who left their names in history, Huzhou was almost the territory of the Wang family. However, his family's title was not hereditary, and by the time of the current emperor, his descendants were not good, and there were not many people left in the court.

The reason why the original body knew all this was that the Wang family and the Situ family were in a competitive relationship. As both were military generals, they were awarded titles for their military merits. The Wang family was considered the seniors, but the emperor changed his ministers, and the current emperor valued the Situ family more.

In the battle where the old prince died three years ago, some members of the Wang family also died. Although it was later found out that a spy leaked key intelligence, which led to the enemy knowing the strategic plan formulated by the old prince who was the commander-in-chief at the time in advance, the good battle plan at that time turned into leading the entire army into a fire pit, resulting in heavy losses.

The Wang family has often criticized the Situ family in the court, and even suggested that Your Majesty strip them of their titles.

That battle caused the Situ family to collapse, and a century of glory was almost destroyed overnight. Almost all the elites of the young generation of the Wang family died young. Although the relationship between the two families fell from competition to hostility, because both families had small families and no direct conflict in their official positions, they fell into a situation of cold treatment.

Retracting my thoughts, I replied nonchalantly, "I'll know once you tell me."

"He is not a member of the Wang family, but he is much more troublesome than the Wang family." Situ Jue sneered, took the clothes from my hand, and threw them back into the box. "His name is He Zhao, and he is Wang Shixun's apprentice. At most, he is half a member of the Wang family. He wears a mask because he looks ugly and doesn't want to scare people."

I curled my lips and thought, that person shouldn't be ugly. Although half of the mask covered his eyebrows and eyes and I couldn't see clearly, I felt that the person's facial features were very regular.

However, judging from Situ Jue's attitude, he and Jade-faced Yama are bound to be at odds, so it seems a bit troublesome to ask him to repay the favor for me.

"Wang Shixun, is he the Tiger General who was as famous as the old prince? Oh, so the family emblem of their Wang family is a tiger head, I didn't realize it." I said while looking at Situ Jue's expression, "If you don't want to deal with those people, I can arrange the return of the gift myself."

"How can that be? Have you forgotten what you promised me again?" His expression changed immediately, and he looked so serious that it was a little scary.

"Ah? I promised... to cooperate with you and maintain my image as a princess when we are out there?" This is all I could think of.

"What a mess?" Situ Jue seemed not to understand what I said, and tapped my forehead with his bandaged finger. "Just remember that you are my wife. We are husband and wife, and your business is naturally my business. Just like what your cousin from the Shen family asked today, let alone Zheng Hua didn't do anything wrong, even if he killed someone or set a fire, I am sure that Jingzhao Prefecture will release him."

In my stunned expression, I listened to him continue to explain, "Because the Shen family and Zhenbei Palace are also one!"
