The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

After receiving the reply, the gentry left the living room in twos and threes and went back to their respective places. The most proud one among them was naturally Cao Shuang.

Who made the county police chief Cao Zhen from Caojiazhuang?

The originally bustling living room suddenly became quiet as everyone left. Chen Ping did not leave, but stood there hesitantly.

He really wanted to go up and ask Xie Shuting whether what was written in the policy paper was true, or whether it had been verified.

Due to the presence of Xie Tingwen, he could only suppress the reluctance in his heart, but he was reluctant to leave and was a little dazed for a moment.

Xie Shuting looked at Chen Ping's performance and understood everything. She stepped forward and shouted with a smile, "Master Chen!"

Chen Ping suddenly came back to his senses, nodded with a smile, then glanced at Xie Tingwen and stroked his arm, saying, "Sir! I will take my leave first."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Chen, for your help today."

"No, no, it's all my job." Chen Ping waved his hands and left the living room.

After Chen Ping's back disappeared, Xie Tingwen looked up and down at Xie Shuting. Seeing that she was safe and sound and not injured, he felt relieved.

"Did you pass by Cuiping Peak when you came back from Yizhou?" Xie Tingwen asked with a little concern.

“I passed by.”

Xie Shuting replied calmly, and said with a smile: "Father, do you know that there is a group of bandits on that mountain?"

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen nodded, and then told what had happened in the past few days since Xie Shuting was away, most of which were related to Cuiping Peak.

After all, that group of bandits only robbed merchants and rarely attacked ordinary people, but this was a fatal blow to the development of Laigu County.

After hearing Xie Tingwen's explanation, Xie Shuting calmly sat down on the chair, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Father! Don't worry about this matter. The bandits have been dealt with."

"solved?"

Xie Tingwen's expression was startled. He stood up suddenly and asked in shock, "Who did it? How did you solve it?"

As soon as Xie Tingwen finished speaking, he looked outside the door, but did not see Lian Xi, and seemed to have some guesses in his mind.

Xie Shuting naturally noticed the change in Xie Tingwen's expression and said with a slight smile, "Father! It wasn't the poet who did it. She has something else and will be back later."

"Who is that?"

As soon as Xie Tingwen finished speaking, he saw a yamen runner outside the door rushing in, bowing to Xie Tingwen and saying, "Sir! There is someone outside the door claiming to be from the Fuwei Escort Agency, and he is here to report a crime."

"Report a case? Report what case?" Xie Tingwen asked.

"The escort said that he wiped out the bandits on Cuiping Peak and rescued many people from their lair on the mountain. Since it was inconvenient for them to make arrangements, they were sent to Laigu County."

Upon hearing this, Xie Tingwen glanced at Xie Shuting. Seeing that she looked calm, he waved his hand and said, "Lead them to the side hall. I will be there later."

"Yes!" the bailiff responded and left the living room.

"Tell me! Why are you involved with the Fuwei Escort Agency again? I haven't thanked them for what happened before. Now with this great gift, what do you want me to do?"

"My daughter is terrified by what my father said."

Xie Shuting bowed and said sincerely, "When they go north to do business, most of them have to go through Yongzhou. Now that the bandits have been eliminated, their journey will be much safer. Why should father thank you?"

"You!~"

Xie Tingwen waved his hands, rubbing his sore brows, and said with a slightly haggard look: "Father will handle this matter, you go down and rest first!"

Just as Xie Shuting finished speaking, Lian Xi happened to walk over slowly. He first bowed to Xie Tingwen, and then shook his head slightly at Xie Shuting.

The interaction between the master and servant did not attract Xie Tingwen's attention.

Xie Shuting received Lian Xi's signal, clenched her fists and stood up and said, "Father! The private school has been suspended now, I wonder if my brother..."

Xie Tingwen stopped and looked back, glancing at Xie Shuting, and said without thinking: "It will be the New Year in a few days. This year, your father cannot return to Xunyang, so let your brother go home to show filial piety to your grandfather."

Xie Shuting obviously didn't believe that Xie Ningzhi would return to Xunyang. Just the majestic look of her grandfather was enough for him to avoid, so he would never walk into the tiger's mouth.

The only explanation is that Xie Ningzhi must have known that he had tricked her by sending the letter this time, and in order to avoid being reprimanded, he chose to escape early.

How could Xie Shuting tolerate this? She was the kind of person who would take revenge. As the saying goes, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. How long could Xie Ningzhi hide?

The saying "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge" is of no use to her. She is not a gentleman but a woman.

"Xi'er! Go back to the back court." Xie Shuting clenched her fists and said coldly.

Lian Xi was shocked. He could feel that the young lady was very angry this time. He couldn't help but pray silently for the young master in his heart.

After returning to the back hall, Xie Shuting went straight to the desk. Lian Xi tactfully took the ink stick and began to grind the ink.

Xie Shuting pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote: "Grandfather, I bow to you. I am writing to you. As the New Year is approaching, I cannot be in your presence to show my filial piety... If you are in good health, I will invite you to see the grand Lantern Festival in Laigu County and see what my father has done under his rule. I will do as you wish."

As she finished the last stroke, Xie Shuting blew away the ink that had not yet dried, took out the envelope, put it in, and turned to hand it to Lian Xi.

"Don't use our people, just give them to the post station and ask them to send them to the Xie family in Xunyang." Xie Shuting said with a playful smile.

Lian Xi swallowed his saliva subconsciously. If this letter was really sent back, the young master would definitely be severely punished by Old Master Xie.

Not to mention losing a layer of skin, kneeling in the ancestral hall is definitely inevitable.

In the entire Xie family, everyone knows that the descendant that the old man cares about the most is Xie Shuting, and even those in the eldest branch of the family have to stand in the back.

"Yes!~"

Lian Xi responded, "I'll arrange it right away."

Unexpectedly! As soon as Lian Xi finished speaking, a maid ran over and bowed, saying, "Miss! There is a man outside the government office who wants to see you. He said he has an appointment with you."

Xie Shuting looked at Lian Xi with a raised eyebrow. Seeing a blush on her cheeks, she thought to herself, "This can't be love at first sight!"

"Okay! I understand. You go down first!"

Xie Shuting waved her hand while speaking, then turned to look at Lian Xi and said, "Xi'er! When you go to deliver the letter, tell him to come to the government office at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss." Lian Xi leaned forward and responded, then walked out.

Xie Shuting smiled and looked at Lian Xi's back without saying a word. She turned around and told the maid, "Change my clothes for me."

"Yes!" the maid replied with some fear.

After all, these things were previously done by the young lady's personal maid, Sister Lian Xi. Now hearing the young lady's instructions was a favor to them.

Xie Shuting put on her makeup a little and walked towards the wing of the front yamen. She wanted to see how many of the people she had rescued had not yet been taken away by their families.
