The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Now that Xie Zhenghong was beside him, Xie Ningzhi did not dare to show any sign of embarrassment. He could only suppress his displeasure and bowed, saying, "Captain Cao! Long time no see."

"Yeah!~"

Cao Zhen frowned and looked at Xie Ningzhi with a slightly surprised expression.

In his impression, although Xie Ningzhi was steady, his performance today was a little too steady.

Immediately! The surprised eyes stayed on Lian Qiao, but found that Lian Qiao was no longer as carefree as before.

In the past, he certainly couldn't see clearly, but after becoming a captain of the police, he became much smarter. With just one glance, he could tell that something was wrong with the situation.

"Miss Lianqiao! Long time no see."

Cao Zhen smiled and bowed, saying, "My wife said yesterday that if Master Xie didn't dare to come back, she might not be able to take care of the children when school starts the day after tomorrow."

"Mrs. Cao is also a talented person. I'm afraid these things will not be difficult for her." Lian Qiao hurriedly agreed.

Xie Ningzhi said nothing, but kept glancing at Xie Zhenghong's expression, fearing that his grandfather might hear something unusual in Cao Zhen's words.

Cao Shuang was teaching in a private school disguised as a man, a fact known only to a few people. In addition to Dong Pingchang, he was the only one who knew the other party's identity.

If other teachers knew that a girl had entered an academy and became a teacher, she would certainly be criticized.

Obviously, Xie Ningzhi's concerns were unnecessary. After all, Xie Shuting was taught by Xie Zhenghong. If he denied the woman's talent, he would be denying Xie Shuting.

Seeing Xie Zhenghong's slightly solemn expression, Xie Ningzhi hurriedly said, "Captain Cao! I have something else to do right now, so I'll say goodbye for now."

"Please!~" Cao Zhen stroked his hand and made way.

Xie Ningzhi seemed to have been redeemed. He led Xie Zhenghong sideways out of Cao Zhen's encirclement, and the few of them began to stroll on the street again.

But after a moment, Xie Zhenghong asked doubtfully, "Ningzhi! From what you just talked about, it seems that Captain Cao's wife is teaching in a private school?"

"Yes!~" Xie Ningzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and agreed.

Lian Qiao was also worried that Xie Zhenghong would overthink it, so she hurriedly told him everything she had heard from Lian Xi.

After learning the whole story, Xie Zhenghong couldn't help but nodded and said, "I didn't expect there is such a strong-willed woman."

"Didn't the old man praise Captain Cao?" Lian Qiao smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

If it were an ordinary servant, he would never dare to speak to Xie Zhenghong like this, but it seems that he loves the man and his family.

Xie Zhenghong also showed care and love to the three girls, Lian Xi, Lian Yue and Lian Qiao.

"In that case, Captain Cao is also a responsible man. It seems that Yuan Ting has some ideas about employing people." Xie Zhenghong stroked his beard approvingly.

After chatting and laughing for a while, they walked straight to the county government office. At this time, the county government office, after receiving the guard's message, began to move intensively.

"You guys, clean up the rooms in the west wing of the back yamen, and make sure there is enough charcoal."

Uncle Qin appointed another maid as he spoke, "Tell the kitchen to prepare light dishes for dinner. The old master doesn't mind wasting money on extravagant fish and meat."

"Yes!" the maid responded repeatedly and quickly retreated.

"Lian Xi girl! You have to come in person to prepare the old master's bedding. I'm afraid that the people below are not well prepared and the old master will not sleep well at night."

"Uncle Qin, don't worry. Miss has already made instructions early in the morning. I will deliver it later." Lian Xi responded obediently.

The servants in the yard were busy, but Xie Ningzhi in the living room had a serious expression on his face, staring at Xie Shuting with eyes that seemed to be emitting fire.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, but Xie Tingwen could no longer hold back and slapped the table with his hand, saying, "Nonsense, this is just nonsense."

Xie Shuting stroked the teacup calmly and said, "Father, please be patient. Grandfather just came to see us."

"Just a look, huh!~"

Xie Tingwen snorted coldly and said, "Father is already fifty years old. If anything goes wrong during this trip, how can I explain it to my brother?"

There is nothing wrong with what Xie Tingwen said. Now that Xie Tingyun is in the Imperial College, all the connections he needs depend on Xie Zhenghong.

If anything went wrong with Xie Zhenghong during this trip, the eldest wife would probably want to kill him. The consequences of a seemingly simple trip were immeasurable.

Xie Shuting naturally understood this, so she asked the merchants along the way to help look after him. Xie Zhenghong did not suffer any hardship along the way, but instead his spirits became more and more high.

As his father and daughter were arguing, Uncle Qin quickly walked in, wearing his long gown, and shouted, "Master! The old man has arrived in the courtyard."

“Swish!~”

The father and daughter jumped up as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Xie Tingwen was worried, fearing that Xie Zhenghong would be hurt on this trip. However, Xie Shuting was full of joy. Compared with fatherly love, she felt the most the love between the two generations.

Not long after, a hearty laugh was heard from the courtyard: "Shu Ting girl! Grandfather is here, why don't you come out to greet him?"

A tall and old figure, as tall as a pine tree, walked slowly into the room with a calm and heavy aura.

When the two men set their eyes on Xie Zhenghong, a barely perceptible mist appeared in their eyes, as if it was about to burst out like a spring in an instant.

It was because the few strands of originally silver hair had been stained by the wind and snow at some point in time, turning the temples silver-white and the hair and beard colorless.

"Grandfather...Grandfather."

Xie Shuting could no longer suppress the grief in her heart, and she quickly rushed over and hugged Xie Zhenghong's arm, still as she had been in her childhood, without any change.

"Silly boy."

Xie Zhenghong also stretched out his hand with sobs, but due to the difference between men and women, he just patted her shoulder lightly and said no more.

Xie Tingwen also stepped forward with a worried look on his face, leaned forward and bowed, saying, "I, your unfilial son, greet your father."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Zhenghong nodded, then reached out and patted Xie Shuting on the shoulder, saying softly: "Shuting! Grandfather has been running all the way and hasn't had tea yet. Aren't you going to give him a sip of water?"

"Pfft!~"

Xie Shuting burst into laughter instantly, pulled back her hand, rubbed her sore eyes and said, "Grandpa is always making fun of his granddaughter. Knowing that grandpa was coming, the granddaughter had already prepared good tea."

When she said the words "good tea", Xie Shuting couldn't help but raised her eyebrows, took Xie Zhenghong's arm, and walked into the house.

The people left outside the door looked at each other in bewilderment. They felt abandoned in an instant, but everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

Lian Xi led Lian Qiao inside, and Xie Tingwen glanced at Xie Ning and walked into the house.

Xie Chen and Uncle Qin had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot of exchanges when they met. He then apologized and left.

Only Xie Ningzhi was left, disheveled in the wind.
