The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard Yan Shuang's words. He was not a qualified prince, and he did not know much about governing a country.

But in just a few days, I have also felt the changes in Laigu County. The county, which was originally lifeless, is now full of smiles.

Zhao Zhen thought for a moment, glanced at the street, and said thoughtfully: "Kejun! You are right, we are not in a hurry to go back, let's play for a few more days."

Yan Shuang smiled but said nothing, feeling a little relieved in her heart, "As long as the prince listens to my advice, it will be good, and this trip south will not be in vain."

Seeing Yan Shuang's silent expression, Zhao Zhen, who had already walked down the stairs, turned back and suddenly shouted, "Kejun! The moon is at its zenith, why don't you go back?"

As the carriage turned the corner, Xie Shuting's heart trembled suddenly, and she lifted the curtain. She looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two handsome figures from behind.

"Kejun?"

Xie Shuting muttered to herself, put away her thoughts, looked at Lian Xi outside the carriage and ordered: "Xi'er! Notify Song Zhen and ask him to arrange for Zhao Zhen and Yan Shuang to return to Bianjing as soon as possible."

"Yes!~" Lian Xi responded through the car curtain.

Xie Tingwen seemed oblivious to what was happening, and only raised his eyes slightly to glance at Xie Shuting. With just one glance, as a father, he seemed to sense his daughter's thoughts.

"Ah!~" Xie Tingwen sighed, still keeping his eyes closed.

"What is father sighing about?" Xie Shuting asked casually while looking at the account book in her hand.

Unexpectedly! As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xie Tingwen say faintly: "Alas! Girls can't be kept when they grow up."

Just these words instantly made Xie Shuting's face flush. Xie Tingwen looked at Xie Shuting's reaction and became more certain of his guess.

"Shu Ting! Tell your father, which one do you like?"

"Father... Father, please don't make fun of your daughter. Why do you like that?" Xie Shuting pretended to be shy and said. At this moment, she no longer had the demeanor of a strong woman.

Xie Tingwen raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "Ever since that person from the Ministry of Punishment came to Laigu County, have you been a little distracted?"

"How could my daughter be as superficial as her father said?" Xie Shuting quickly defended herself.

But she never dared to look up and meet Xie Tingwen's gaze. After all, she did feel a little guilty, and now that she was caught, she naturally couldn't feel guilty.

Seeing Xie Shuting's shy expression, Xie Tingwen said coldly: "Do you know the origins of Zhao Zhen and Yan Shuang? Which family in Bianjing are they from? Do you want your grandfather to..."

"Father! Please stop. Grandfather has promised my daughter's marriage. You can't interfere."

Xie Tingwen, who was already a little angry, instantly became even more furious after hearing what Xie Shuting said.

"None of you makes your father worry. Look, your uncle has become a grandfather."

Xie Tingwen snorted coldly while speaking, and immediately ordered Uncle Qin outside the carriage: "Go back later and ask that unfilial son to come to the study."

"Yes!" Uncle Qin responded mechanically.

Lian Xi also stuck out his tongue nervously. They didn't want to hear these things. But they couldn't stop the father and daughter in the carriage from talking louder and louder.

Feeling Xie Tingwen's anger, Xie Shuting also muttered helplessly: "Brother! I'm sorry."

The atmosphere in the carriage was strange for a moment, but fortunately the county government office was already in sight. Uncle Qin did not dare to delay and whipped twice more.

“Ahhhh!~”

Xie Ningzhi rubbed his sore nose, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

Dong Pingchang locked the school door, turned around to look at Xie Ningzhi and said, "Ningzhi! It's cold at night in Laigu County, wear more clothes and be careful of colds."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Dong."

Cao Yue, who was standing by, also said with some concern, "Mr. Xie! You must take good care of yourself. There are quite a lot of students in the private school right now, and Mr. Dong and I cannot afford to lose you, our pillar of support."

"Mr. Cao, please don't make fun of Ningzhi."

As Xie Ningzhi spoke, he stroked his hand and said, "It's getting late. See you tomorrow. Please!"

"Please!~" As they spoke, the two of them quickly touched each other's hands and returned the greeting.

Looking at Xie Ningzhi's departing back, Dong Pingchang also noticed Cao Zhen standing in the corner.

He showed a hint of envy on his face and said softly, "Since Mr. Cao has an appointment, Pingchang will take his leave first. Stay!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yue stroked his hands as a greeting, then slowly walked towards Cao Zhen, saying with a wry smile, "Why did you come to pick me up today?"

"Isn't it inappropriate for a husband to come and pick up his wife?" Cao Zhen raised his eyebrows and pretended to be slightly angry.

If they had not been married, Cao Yue would inevitably be frightened when seeing Cao Zhen's expression, but the two have been living together for more than a month.

Although the two of them don't fully understand each other yet, they are very clear about each other's thoughts.

She knew that Cao Zhen must be jealous.

Cao Yue originally wanted to hold Cao Zhen's arm, but since he was dressed as a man today, she just followed him closely, walking side by side like old friends.

"Thank you!~"

Cao Yue's sudden remark made Cao Zhen, whose IQ was not high to begin with, a little confused.

He looked at Cao Yue blankly and asked, "What do you want to thank me for?"

"Thank you, my husband, for not being afraid of my innocent body and allowing me to marry you in a formal way."

Cao Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "Since we are husband and wife, why would there be a word 'thank you'?"

"That's right!" Cao Yue responded with a smile, and the haze in her eyes disappeared in an instant.

Since ancient times, a woman's chastity has been extremely important. Under the circumstances at that time, Cao Zhen was still willing to marry her.

If she were to say who she owed the most in her life, apart from her biological parents and grandmother, it would probably be the person who had been with her all her life.

Cao Zhen looked at the expression between Cao Yue's eyebrows, but he hesitated several times when the words came to his lips.

As if she saw Cao Zhen's embarrassment, Cao Yue understood and asked, "My husband, is there something wrong?"

"Hey!~"

Cao Zhen sighed, sorted out his thoughts and said, "Today, I followed the order of Lord Xie and arrested Gou Tongyi and his gang of thirteen people, but Lord Xie's words don't make sense to me."

"What did Lord Xie say?" Cao Yue asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Your Excellency said: 'Take them to the execution platform, announce their crimes in public, and then punish them with thirty strokes of the cane.' I really don't understand your intention, Madam. Please give me your advice."

"What crime have they committed?" Cao Yue asked coldly.

"Bribery and corruption. According to the previous decree, the sentence was thirty lashes for all crimes combined."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yue fell into deep thought. Cao Zhen, who was standing by, did not dare to disturb him, nor did he dare to relay other words that Xie Tingwen had said. After all, he also had to save his face.

Cao Yue just walked on the street of Laigu County by himself, while Cao Zhen protected him on the side, fearing that a passerby would bump into him and interrupt his thoughts.
