The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

If an ordinary person had been frightened by Xie Shuting's "I know", it was unbelievable that a baby could understand what an adult said.

But this incident happened to Xie Shuting, and there was no legend at all. After all, the masters of the Xie family were not surprised by the changes in Xie Shuting since she was a child.

When Xie Shuting was eight years old, her grandfather, Xie Zhenghong, boasted: "My Shuting has the talent of a top scholar and the ability to be a prime minister."

At that time, the Xie family treated it as a joke and did not notice the hidden meaning in Xie Zhenghong's words.

Xie Ningzhi took the teacup and took a sip. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "The tea my little sister brews is still the best. Thank you for what I did today."

"Brother, why do you need to thank me? If you hadn't insisted on doing this, I would not be willing to be an enemy of my father."

Xie Shuting said something without commenting, and filled Xie Ningzhi's empty cup with her eyebrows raised.

He smiled playfully and asked, "Brother, do you really not have anyone you like?"

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense. You are tarnishing the girl's innocence for no reason." Xie Ningzhi pretended to be slightly angry.

"Brother! I haven't even told you which girl she is, but you're already saying this. It seems like I'm to blame." Xie Shuting smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

"you......"

Xie Ningzhi was speechless for a moment. Knowing that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, he chose to keep silent.

Looking at Xie Ningzhi's performance, Xie Shuting instantly understood that her brother must have someone he liked, otherwise he would not be so opposed to the marriage arranged by their father.

But for Xie Ningzhi to keep it so secret and to resist the marriage even at the risk of being branded as unfilial, the other party must be someone of different social status from the Xie family.

She could not help but use the process of elimination based on her memories of her past life to find her brother's confidante. But after some thought, she found nothing.

There was a hint of disappointment between Xie Shuting's brows. Knowing that the time was not right, she stopped thinking about it and took a sip of tea from the cup.

Noticing that Xie Shuting was a little disappointed, Xie Ningzhi asked curiously, "Little sister! What's wrong with you?"

Xie Shuting stroked her eyebrows with her hand, fiddled with the teacup and said softly, "I'm thinking about the future."

"after?"

Xie Ningzhi couldn't help but frowned when he was wondering, and looked at Xie Shuting's slightly sad eyes. He didn't know what to say for a moment to comfort her.

He didn't know that what Xie Shuting was thinking about had anything to do with him, and he acted as if he had nothing to do with it.

Xie Shuting raised her eyes and said unhappily, "Brother! How are things going with Huichuntang? It's been seven or eight days. How long will it take to deliver the project?"

Xie Ningzhi's heart sank when he heard this, and he muttered to himself, "It is true that women and villains are difficult to raise. Why are they taking revenge so quickly?"

"Brother! What the saints said, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise', isn't this what they meant?" Xie Shuting raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

Xie Ningzhi was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Did you hear me? I didn't..."

Noticing something was wrong, Xie Ningzhi quickly changed his words and said, "No! I didn't say that. Don't slander me. I have something else to do. You can take your time."

Xie Ningzhi didn't even give Xie Shuting time to react. He quickly led Lianqiao out of the corridor and fled from the pavilion.

Looking at Xie Ningzhi's panicked back, Xie Shuting couldn't help but smile and said, "You! Everything is written on your face. It's hard for me not to see it!"

As soon as Xie Shuting finished speaking, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside the corridor.

Lian Xi hurried over, bowed and said, "Miss! Captain Song is waiting outside the door."

"Well! Let him come to the gazebo!"

"Yes!~" Lian Xi leaned over and responded.

He just turned around to leave when he heard Xie Shuting change the subject and said, "Forget it! You take him to the front hall living room. I'll go back and change my clothes before going over."

"Yes!~"

Lian Xi responded and went outside to pass on the message. Xie Shuting stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and walked towards the back hall.

Song Zhen waited in the living room for about an incense stick of time before Xie Shuting came in. Just as she said, she only changed her clothes when she returned to the back hall.

The original cyan dress exuded the elegance of a young girl. Now she was wearing a crimson shawl, which made her look elegant and graceful.

Although Xie Shuting was still wearing a veil, her wise eyes were deep and unfathomable. Song Zhen was stunned for a moment.

"Captain Song, please take a seat!" Xie Shuting stroked her hand and said.

"Thank you..." Song Zhen replied mechanically.

He almost said the wrong thing but didn't notice anything unusual. Fortunately, Xie Shuting gave him a warning look, and he suddenly changed his words and said, "Thank you, Miss!"

"What do you want from me today, Captain Song?" Xie Shuting asked softly, stroking the teacup, with the demeanor of a noble lady.

Song Zhen bowed his hands a little awkwardly and said, "Miss! The things in Zhang's house have been dug out by Captain Cao. I came to ask you, if there is no problem, can we start the work?"

Zhang's house was originally used as a school, but it was shelved because of the Zhang's house corpse case. Now that the case is settled, this matter will naturally get back on track.

Now that Song Zhen came to inquire, Xie Shuting could roughly guess the reason. Nineteen corpses were dug up in that place, which was probably not a wise move for a school.

Xie Shuting stroked the teacup nonchalantly and said, "It's alright! Start the work as planned. Before you start, have a ritual to pray for the souls of the deceased. This will be considered as a merit for the 19 people who died unjustly."

"Yes!~" Song Zhen quickly stood up and responded.

He was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Xie Shuting, and asked, "Miss! I heard that the government wants to recruit more yamen runners. Do you want us brothers to take the exam?"

"No need for that. You are responsible for setting up the school as soon as possible. I have other arrangements for you."

"Yes!" Song Zhen replied with a bow and left the living room while speaking.

Song Zhen wanted to let the bodyguard enter the yamen. Xie Shuting naturally knew the reason. It was just to have an identity that would facilitate her actions and better protect her.

It was impossible for Liu Qing not to be assassinated after he was involved in such a big case. Because of Xie Tingwen, the father and daughter were definitely the focus of attention.

Song Zhen’s concerns were naturally not wrong, but now that Li Shixian was in the county government office, the safety of both father and daughter was naturally guaranteed.

Although Li Shixian is not famous yet, Xie Shuting knows her background. No one can match her in martial arts, whether it is light Kung Fu or swordsmanship.

There was no one in the living room, so Xie Shuting took off her veil, looked at Lian Xi and said, "Xi'er! Go prepare two thank-you gifts. They don't have to be too expensive. Go to the government office in a few days to apologize."

"apologize?"

Lian Xi was a little confused, but still leaned forward and replied, "Yes, Miss."
