The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Xie Ningzhi realized that Xie Shuting had another identity. After learning more about it, he was already terrified.

Although he did not have much aversion to businessmen, given the current status of the Xie family, Xie Shuting's business was a stain on the family.

Fortunately, after a heated debate with Xie Shuting and a bombshell dropped, Xie Ningzhi was forced to compromise.

After Xie Shuting said goodbye to Xie Ning, she followed Lian Xi and walked slowly towards the main hall. Passing by the archway connecting the front yard and the back yard, she stopped a servant.

"Go and inform Uncle Qin, and ask him to ask Father and Chief Sun to come to the main hall."

"Yes! Miss." The servant responded and walked quickly to the front yamen.

Soon, Xie Shuting and Lian Xi came slowly. Cao Zhen and Cao Yue stood outside the door a little awkwardly. They knew their status was different from that of the living room, so they didn't dare to step into it.

"Come in." Xie Shuting said to the two people at the door.

Cao Zhen and Cao Yue looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Lian Xi's steps into the living room.

"sit down."

As Xie Shuting spoke, she pointed to the chair next to her, then looked at Lian Xi and said, "Go prepare some refreshments. We have a lot to do today, so we need to discuss this in detail."

"Yes! Miss." Lian Xi responded.

Xie Shuting glanced at the two of them, and after Lian Xi served the tea and snacks, she nodded and said, "You've worked hard on the journey, have some tea and wait for the others."

"Is there anyone else?" Cao Zhen was secretly shocked. He picked up the teacup and took a sip awkwardly, while Xie Shuting carefully studied the news that Xie Ningzhi brought to him.

But a moment later, there was a sound of galloping footsteps outside the door. Sun Cheng quickly entered, glanced at the living room, and hurriedly stroked Xie Shuting's hand and said, "Miss!"

"Well! I hope I didn't disturb Chief Sun!"

Sun Cheng waved his hands hastily upon hearing this, and said with a look of trepidation, "No, no, there are only over fifty criminals in the prison right now, and I am just busy doing nothing, I am not as good as you, young lady."

"Mr. Sun is also a thoughtful person. Please take a seat first! We will discuss it after my father comes." Xie Shuting stretched out her hand to signal while speaking.

"Thank you, miss!"

Sun Cheng replied with a smile, then looked at Cao Zhen and his wife, and nodded as a greeting.

Sun Cheng's unintentional words shocked Xie Shuting's heart, and a not-so-perfect idea instantly emerged in her mind.

Everyone waited for half an incense stick of time before Xie Tingwen staggered in. As soon as he appeared, everyone seated in the living room stood up and saluted.

"I've met my lord."

Xie Shuting took a step forward, bowed and said, "My daughter greets my father."

"Um!!"

Xie Tingwen responded and took the first seat. He then stroked his hand and motioned to everyone, "Everyone, please take a seat! Shu Ting, why did you call your father here?"

"Father is so forgetful. Didn't you say three days ago that the county government was short of a constable and asked your daughter to go look for Cao Zhen? Now that Brother Cao is here, father has forgotten." Xie Shuting pretended to complain.

Xie Tingwen suddenly came to his senses after hearing this. He gently patted his forehead, looked at Cao Zhen with an apologetic look and said, "Cao Zhen! Are you willing to serve as the head of the county government?"

Cao Zhen was unwilling to do so, so he knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you very much, sir, for not abandoning me. I will definitely serve you like a dog and a horse in the future."

"Not really, not really. Just do your job well in the future." Xie Tingwen raised his head briefly while speaking, and Cao Yue, who was standing next to him, was quick to pull Cao Zhen up.

Sun Cheng watched Xie Tingwen's decision carefully and did not dare to question her. He originally thought that it would be fine if she hid herself, but Xie Shuting had her own plans.

"Boss Sun! Brother Cao has taken over the position of chief constable. We hope that the Criminal Court will cooperate with us in the future." Xie Shuting said with a smile.

The smile that was originally as warm as spring breeze, in Sun Cheng's eyes, was a murderous knife and a warning against death.

Sun Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stroked his hand towards Xie Tingwen and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will naturally obey your instructions."

"Then I feel much more at ease." Xie Tingwen agreed with a smile.

Cao Zhen didn't dare to sit down any longer, and quickly stood up and bowed to Sun Cheng to show his feelings. After the two exchanged some politeness, they sat down again.

Seeing his subordinates so united, Xie Tingwen smiled with satisfaction and said, "I am fortunate to have the help of two of you. It is a great honor to come to Gu County. Captain Cao! You and Chief Sun must support each other in the future."

"I dare not." Sun Cheng quickly agreed.

"I...I dare not." Cao Zhen said with some fear.

During the conversation, Cao Yue never interrupted them. She sat quietly and obediently beside them, like a lady in the boudoir.

Xie Tingwen talked with Cao Zhen and Sun Cheng for a few more words, and then handed over the important matters currently in the county government, which were nothing more than the case of the corpse hidden in Zhang's house.

When Cao Zhen first heard this, he was shocked, but now that he had become a government official, the fear on his face quickly disappeared and returned to normal.

Sun Cheng also nodded secretly, and he approved of Cao Zhen's performance.

After Xie Tingwen explained everything clearly, he returned to the study to sort out his official business. Since Xie Shuting was still in the living room, the others did not dare to move and sat in a well-behaved manner.

Xie Shuting took a sip of tea, moistened her throat and said, "Master Sun! Please take good care of Captain Cao from now on."

"Little understands."

Sun Cheng responded, then glanced at Cao Zhen, then stroked her hand and said, "Miss! If you have no other instructions, I will leave first."

"Thank you, Master Sun. Xi'er! Please see Master Sun off for me!"

"Yes, Miss!" Lian Xi responded.

Seeing Lian Xi's actions, Sun Cheng dared not agree, and hurriedly held her hand and said, "Miss! Miss Lian Xi, please stay."

Sun Cheng slowly walked out of the living room while talking. He naturally understood Xie Shuting's hint of serving tea and seeing the guests off. In the living room, only Cao Zhen and his wife were left, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Receiving a hint from her husband Cao Zhen, Cao Yue slowly stood up, performed a standard blessing ceremony, and said, "My name is Cao! I'm meeting the young lady."

"Miss Cao, there's no need to be so polite." Xie Shuting hurried forward, gave her a false hand and said, "I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you. I want to hear your opinion."

"Miss, please feel free to speak." Cao Yue's heart sank, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.

Feeling Cao Yue's nervousness, Xie Shuting gently patted her arm and said in a gentle tone, "I heard that your father was also a scholar. How many years did Miss Cao study?"

Cao Yue felt relieved when she heard this. She calmed down a bit and said, "I was taught by my father for a few years. Unfortunately, he encountered bandits when he went to the government office to take the exam in the 21st year of Jingyun. We are separated forever."
