The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Chapter 198 Belated Secret Letter

The next day.

Xie Shuting packed her clothes early and led Lian Xi to the back door. She originally thought she was the first to arrive, but when she saw that everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived, a hint of shyness instantly appeared on her cheeks.

"Shu Ting has met grandfather."

"Come here quickly." Xie Zhenghong waved his hand.

Xie Shuting did not hesitate and quickly walked to Xie Zhenghong, bowed and said, "Grandfather! Take care of your health when you go to Yuzhou."

"well."

Xie Zhenghong said hello twice, then gently stroked Xie Shuting's head and said, "The little girl back then has grown up, and there is less and less that grandpa can help with."

"Grandpa's trip to Yuzhou has helped Shu Ting the most. I, your granddaughter, would like to thank you very much." Xie Shu Ting bowed.

Xie Zhenghong nodded with a smile, and then glanced at Xie Tingwen. His expression immediately changed and he said in a serious tone, "Yuan Ting! You have to help me take good care of Shu Ting."

"Son, I will obey your orders." Xie Tingwen also hurriedly leaned over to respond.

While they were talking, Xie Ningzhi, who was forgotten in the corner, muttered unhappily, "I'm leaving too, and no one is saying goodbye to me."

When the others heard this, their expressions turned stern. When Xie Ningzhi saw this, he felt a chill in his heart and quickly retracted his head and pressed it against the shaft of the cart.

Yanran looked like a wronged young lady, unable to express her grievances.

Wang Lang saw that he was in a bad mood, so he quickly apologized with a smile: "Sir! The journey to the capital is long, so I prepared some foreign toys for you, so you can kill time on the way."

"You are so thoughtful, thank you." Xie Ningzhi accepted Wang Lang's gift without hesitation.

Xie Shuting glanced at Xie Ningzhi, then walked forward and said softly, "Brother! Take care of yourself when you go to the capital. If you have any difficulties, remember to find uncle."

Xie Ningzhi widened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Shouldn't I normally look for you? I'm afraid my uncle's ability and connections are not as strong as yours."

Naturally, he didn't express his thoughts clearly. Xie Ningzhi helplessly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, little sister. I will definitely not cause any trouble when I go to the capital."

"If you dare to cause trouble in the capital, your father doesn't mind expelling you from the Xie family." Xie Tingwen shouted angrily.

What is the capital city?

If a stone is thrown down, not to mention the third-rank officials, even those inferior characters cannot afford to offend. And those complicated relationships will inevitably cause trouble for the Xie family.

Xie Tingwen was giving Xie Ningzhi a heads-up in advance, and the meaning of the warning was self-evident.

Xie Ningzhi shrank his head in boredom and said, "I know. I will be very humble when I go to Bianjing. Please don't worry, grandfather, father, and little sister."

Hearing Xie Ningzhi's slightly resistant tone, Xie Shuting did not point it out nor try to persuade him, because people who do not listen to advice will become honest after suffering losses.

Xie Shuting gave Xie Ningzhi a few more instructions, then slowly walked up to Xie Zhenghong and took out a letter from her bosom.

"Grandfather! Please open this letter when you arrive in Yuzhou."

Xie Zhenghong nodded, put the letter away and handed it to Xie Chen. As for what was written in the letter, Xie Zhenghong had already guessed it roughly.

"Okay! It's getting late, let's go."

"Grandfather! Shu Ting will help you."

As Xie Shuting spoke, she slowly walked forward, helped Xie Zhenghong into the carriage, and lowered her voice and said, "Grandfather! The calligraphy is in the secret compartment of the carriage, be careful."

"Okay!" Xie Zhenghong nodded with a knowing smile.

Seeing that Xie Zhenghong had already boarded the carriage, Xie Ningzhi, with the help of Lian Qiao, boarded another one. As the curtains were lowered, the family was about to part.

Xie Shuting stood in the yard, watching the carriage drive out of the back door. The figure gradually moving away made her heart touched again. Separation is a very painful thing.

"Xi'er! Take this letter to the post station and deliver it to your uncle."

"Yes!~" Lian Xi responded, took the letter, and quickly left the back court.

Xie Tingwen stood for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly, then led Uncle Qin back to the front yamen, while Wang Lang carefully accompanied them.

The two carriages successfully left the city from the east and headed straight for Bian Jing.

Little did they know! At this time, in the Ministry of Punishment of Bianjing, a group of secret agents were busy analyzing the report of the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce.

Although Yan Shuang, who sat on the first seat, was dressed as a Confucian scholar, no one present dared to underestimate him, because Yan Shuang's methods were more terrifying than those of them who were skilled in martial arts.

"Report......."

A yamen runner in tight clothes rushed in holding a report, dragging out a long tail, and bowed to Yan Shuang and said, "Deputy Commander Yan! I found it."

"Yeah!~"

Yan Shuang's eyebrows frowned, he took the report from the yamen runner and started to read it. After a moment, his expression became more solemn.

"Is this true?" Yan Shuang asked.

The yamen runner faced Yan Shuang's cold gaze, swallowed his saliva and said, "Deputy Commander Yan! This report is the latest news from Yizhou. Is there any problem?"

"Is there really no problem?" Yan Shuang asked coldly.

"No... no problem."

As soon as the yamen runner finished speaking, Yan Shuang suddenly shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come!"

Instantly, two guards in black came in and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Yan."

"Send this man to the water dungeon and release him to me after seven days." Yan Shuang said coldly.

The guards did not dare to question Yan Shuang's decision. They ignored the yamen runner's pleas for mercy, and went up to tie him up and dragged him out of the study.

After the few people left, Yan Shuang carefully took out a piece of letter paper from a copy of the Analects of Confucius, but there was only a short poem on the letter paper.

Suddenly I heard a solitary swallow cry on the wild path.

Only the shadow follows him on the desolate road.

Welcoming the evening glow and seeing off the guests,

But I say that I have never seen you in my inner chamber.

After reading it, Yan Shuang smiled bitterly and unfolded the secret letter again. Looking at the two handwritings that were unlikely to be different, he already had a guess in his mind.

"Shu Ting! You've shocked me so much. I don't know how long I can keep this secret from you."

Yan Shuang lamented and burned the letter containing the poem in the light, and then looked at the secret letter and fell into deep thought.

Just when he was stunned, Zhao Pu's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and he was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Kejun! What are you looking at?"

Yan Shuang quickly calmed down and responded in a panic, "It's a secret letter just sent from below."

"Is it about the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce?"

While Zhao Pu was talking, he found a seat and sat down. He looked at the cold sweat on Yan Shuang's forehead and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Kejun! Are you hot?"

"Ah!~"

Yan Shuang was surprised and realized his loss of composure. He quickly waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his forehead and said softly, "No, I was just lost in thought."

Zhao Pu did not doubt Yan Shuang's answer. He slowly walked to the table, took the secret letter and glanced at it. His expression became more and more solemn.
