The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

After the battle last night, Xie Shuting could no longer endure the torture and returned to the carriage to rest early. A group of bodyguards spontaneously guarded the carriage.

Half of the guards Zhao Zhen brought with him had been killed in the battle last night. The only five or six people left hid in the thatched hut and spent a long night.

The morning glow suddenly rose slowly, dispelling the cold of the night. The two sides reorganized themselves and prepared to go to Laigu County.

"Xi'er!"

Xie Shuting called softly through the carriage curtain. Lian Xi put down the teacup in his hand and hurried forward to ask, "Miss! What's wrong?"

"Is Li Shan dead?" Xie Shuting asked calmly.

Lian Xi immediately glanced at the escorts who had eyes, and when he saw everyone nod slightly, he understood, and replied: "Miss! It was cold yesterday, Li Shan is dead."

There was no sound in the carriage for a while. Lian Xi couldn't help but feel a little worried. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Xie Shuting's soft voice: "Go and carry Kejun over. He is too seriously injured to ride a horse."

"Ah!~"

Lian Xi stared at the carriage in shock. After half a minute, he complained in a mosquito-like voice, "Young lady is still unmarried, and you let a man get on the carriage for no reason. I'm afraid there will be a lot of gossip in the future."

"Hey!~"

Xie Shuting lifted the car curtain helplessly, looked at Zhao Zhen and his group who were ready to go in the dilapidated temple, and said something nonsensical quite helplessly.

"Who made me owe him? Go quickly!" Xie Shuting urged.

Lian Xi knew that he could not change the young lady's mind, so he stamped his feet in anger and called two bodyguards to go to the dilapidated temple.

Xie Shuting lifted the curtain and watched Lian Xi and Zhao Zhen negotiate. After a while, Zhao Zhen bowed from a distance to express his gratitude and stepped aside to let the two escorts enter the thatched cottage.

Soon! Two escorts were seen carrying the door panel and sending the unconscious Yan Shuang to the carriage, while Zhao Zhen followed behind with his guards.

As there was a sick person on the bus, Uncle Qin naturally did not dare to whip the horse and could only drive slowly. The journey that would have taken more than an hour ended up taking the group less than half a day.

The group entered the city smoothly, and the carriage had no intention of stopping. It led Zhao Zhen across the central street and stopped outside a house.

"Miss! We're here."

Hearing Lian Xi's reminder, Xie Shuting lifted the car curtain, glanced at the house and said, "You stay and protect Kejun, and don't worry about the rest."

"Yes!" A group of escorts leaned forward to respond.

Zhao Zhen got off the horse, walked outside the carriage, took a look at the house and said, "Laigu County Office? Miss Xie, what's this?"

"But Jun is so seriously injured, could it be that Master Zhao is planning to stay at the inn?"

Xie Shuting revealed a hint of displeasure in her words. She also knew what Zhao Zhen was worried about, so she said softly, "Kejun is the eldest son of Ding'an Marquis. With his identity, it is not a problem for him to stay in the government office. Besides, this is Laigu County. No matter how brave they are, they dare not commit crimes in the city. Otherwise, if the government knows about it, it will be a heinous crime."

Zhao Zhen's expression brightened when he heard this, and he immediately stroked his hand and said: "Miss Xie, you are right. Thank you very much, Miss. I am afraid, but this government office..."

"Miss!" A loud voice came from the office, instantly interrupting Zhao Zhen's words.

Just as Zhao Zhen was puzzled, he saw the man quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss! You didn't return to the city yesterday. Mr. Xie had a hard time looking for you, and the yamen runners were also very annoyed. We are relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

Xie Shuting knew the old man in front of her. He was Zhou Ziyan, the head of the Li Ya. Apart from spring ploughing and sacrifice, the work of the Li Ya was mostly entertaining colleagues. Xie Shuting was not surprised that the other party appeared here.

Xie Shuting nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Lord Zhou for your concern. This is the son of the Marquis of Ding'an. He has been injured and needs to be recuperated in the government office. Lord Zhou, please take care of him."

"Of course, of course." Zhou Ziyan responded repeatedly, and then waved his hand, and two yamen runners rushed out and carried the unconscious Yan Shuang into the yamen.

Xie Shuting looked at everything and said to Zhao Zhen, "Mr. Zhao! You should take a good rest here. When Kejun recovers from his injury, you should return to Bianjing as soon as possible, otherwise many variables will arise."

"What is the variable that Miss Xie mentioned?" Zhao Zhen's eyes were stern, and he asked with a little expectation. After all, Xie Shuting had given him such a big shock, maybe he could get some advice from her and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Xie Shuting naturally saw through the other party's little thoughts, and slowly lowered the curtain and said: "A dragon swimming in shallow water is bullied by shrimps, and a tiger in plains is bullied by dogs. Your stage can only be in Bianjing. If you leave Bianjing, it will be uncertain. Mr. Zhao, take care of yourself."

"You!~"

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists as if he was speechless, his face showing a hint of gloom. He always felt that Xie Shuting had an inexplicable hostility towards him.

"Uncle Qin! Go back to the county government office."

"Yes, miss!" Uncle Qin responded, then whipped the horse and drove the carriage back to the county government office.

As soon as the carriage entered the backyard, a maid came quickly, bowed and saluted, saying, "Miss! The master said you should go see him first when you come back."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting responded and led Lian Xi back to the courtyard. After washing and dressing up, she walked towards the study in the front yard.

Xie Tingwen was concentrating on the book in his hand at the moment and did not notice Xie Shuting entered the study. As a faint scent of tea emerged, Xie Tingwen suddenly came back to his senses.

He put the book down, looked Xie Shuting up and down, and the anger on his face faded away.

"You still remember to come back. If a woman spends the night outside, her reputation will be ruined if it gets out." Xie Tingwen said a little angrily.

Xie Shuting had already changed her demeanor at this moment. She stepped forward and took Xie Tingwen's arm, pouting and shaking her head, "Father! It was too late last night and we couldn't make it home, so Lian Xi and Uncle Qin stayed overnight in a dilapidated temple. If father doesn't trust his daughter, does he also not trust Uncle Qin?"

Uncle Qin outside the door was suddenly called, and he was already a little flustered. Fortunately, Xie Tingwen did not delve into it, which made his restless heart feel a little comforted.

"You have said everything. What else can your father say?" Xie Tingwen pretended to be slightly angry.

Then, he seemed to be a little reluctant, so he gently patted Xie Shuting's hand and said softly: "Your mother passed away early. If something happens to you, how can your father face her a hundred years later."

Speaking of her mother, Xie Shuting was also a little sad. She gently released Xie Tingwen's hand, took a step back, leaned over and bowed, saying, "My daughter knows her mistake, and will definitely not make my father worry in the future."

"Hey!~"

Xie Tingwen sighed and said, "It's good that you have the intention. Generally speaking, you are helping your father."

Apart from being stubborn, Xie Tingwen's only good point to Xie Shuting is that he is easy to coax. As long as Xie Shuting is submissive and obedient, Xie Tingwen will forgive her no matter how big her mistake is.

But she was also a reasonable person, so she would not cause any gossip or things that would damage her reputation. As for what happened in the ruined temple last night, it was indeed a surprise to her, and it was also the only time she lost her composure.
