The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

After being reprimanded by Xie Shuting, Zhao Zhen was depressed for several days. No matter how Yan Shuang tried to persuade him, he still felt no better.

Looking at Zhao Zhen, who was still furious, Yan Shuang shook her head helplessly and said, "Your Highness! Miss Xie is doing this for your own good. Why are you like this?"

Zhao Zhen heard this and slammed the table angrily, "How dare she teach me a lesson when she is just a woman. Could it be that the Grand Tutor and Junior Master of the Eastern Palace are not as good as her?"

Yan Shuang wanted to say that she really couldn't compare, not even him. Just the poem she read when they first met, she claimed that it was difficult for her to write such a mood.

Seeing Yan Shuang silent for a long time, Zhao Zhen's expression eased a little, and his tone became a little weaker: "She said that she would send someone to take us to the capital in three days. Today is the third day. Who will he send?"

"Your Highness! I don't know about this. I think it should be a yamen runner!" Yan Shuang said without comment.

"A government official?"

Zhao Zhen was startled, and said in surprise: "Kejun! The people from the Ministry of Punishment are no match for the assassins, how can the yamen runners do it?"

"Your Highness! This is just my guess. We just have to wait." Yan Shuang said helplessly.

He didn't know Xie Shuting's background, the only thing he knew was that she was a daughter of an official. If someone was sent, it would probably be the government runners.

While the two were thinking, in the main courtyard of the county government, the head of the household office was already counting the tax silver. After half a month of collection, all the 30,000 strings of silver were here.

Looking at the six boxes placed in the yard, Shen Yancheng couldn't help feeling heartbroken. After all, he was still a businessman at heart.

Now he took out 30,000 strings of silver at once, leaving less than 10,000 strings in the account of the household office. And according to Xie Shuting's suggestion, this 10,000 strings was his capital for doing business.

Shen Yancheng counted the money one last time, then put the seal on it. He stroked Xie Tingwen's hand and said, "Sir! The 30,000 guan of tax silver has been counted."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen nodded, then looked at Cao Zhen and said, "Captain Cao! Have you arranged for the escort officers?"

"Reporting to the lord! Everything has been arranged according to the young lady's instructions. The bailiff Liu Liu and the household clerk Li Zan will accompany her." Cao Zhen bowed his head hurriedly.

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen couldn't help but frown, looked aside and said: "Shu Ting! What do you mean?"

"Father! We don't know what the road conditions will be like on our way to Yongzhou. If we are escorted by government officials, what will we do if we encounter bandits?"

When Xie Shuting said this, she saw everyone nodding slightly, and immediately changed the subject, "My daughter has already asked Song, the escort leader of the Fuwei Escort Agency, to escort them. They are just going to the capital, so it's not a problem for them to go through Yongzhou to escort them."

"Hey!~"

Xie Tingwen sighed softly, waved his hand with a little relief and said: "Shu Ting is still thoughtful, this matter will be resolved by you."

"Yes, my daughter." Xie Shuting replied with a smile.

Immediately! Xie Tingwen looked at Li Zan, the clerk of the Household Office, and said, "This is the memorial submitted by me. I will submit it together with the tax silver after it is handed over to the government office."

Li Zan took the memorial with both hands in fear and trepidation, with beads of sweat already appearing on his cheeks.

Liu Liu glanced at Li Zan, then stepped forward and greeted him with a handshake, "Don't worry, sir. We will definitely take care of everything."

"Okay! Go ahead."

As Xie Tingwen spoke, he waved his hand to disperse the crowd, then looked at Cao Zhen and said, "Captain Cao! Follow me to the study."

Compared to the fear he had when being alone with Xie Tingwen before, Cao Zhen has now integrated into the role and follows behind with big strides without any worries.

Seeing Xie Tingwen leave, the other six yamen officials apologized to Xie Shuting, and then left one after another with their errands.

Xie Shuting nodded in response, then winked at Lian Xi, who understood and quickly walked towards the gate of the county government office.

Soon, Lian Xi led dozens of escorts into the county government office, and the leader was Song Zhen.

"Song Zhen has met the young lady!"

"Captain Song! These six boxes are tax silver. Please take a detour and escort the tax silver and these two officers to the Yongzhou government office. After that, you can go directly north to Bianjing."

After Song Zhen took a look at the two carriages, he stroked his hand and said, "Song Zhen will naturally do his best to fulfill the young lady's request."

"I am Liu Liu and Li Zan. We are relying on Chief Song for this trip."

The two men immediately bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude. After all, with the protection of the Fuwei Escort Agency, their safety along the way was naturally guaranteed.

Song Zhen was not hypocritical. He clasped his fists and bowed to the two men, saying, "I'm afraid you two will be wronged on this trip. You should follow the instructions of the escort agency."

"Of course, of course." The two echoed.

Song Zhen did not refuse, he raised his hand and said: "Brothers, plant the flags and start the escort."

The escorts on both sides, dressed in tight clothes, took out the flags of the Fuwei Escort Agency from their arms and inserted them on the four corners of the carriage.

With the gentle breeze, only the rustling of flags could be heard, making the two people who were originally at ease feel even more worry-free.

The two carriages slowly left the government office under the escort of the bodyguards.

Song Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still felt worried and asked, "Miss! Aren't you going to see them off?"

Song Zhen was not stupid. He had discovered that the master of the family had some inexplicable relationship with Yan Shuang in the ruined temple. After half a month of contact, he saw it clearly.

After hearing Song Zhen's suggestion, Lian Xi also reminded him softly, "Miss! We don't know when we will meet again, don't you want to go and see her?"

"No, I won't go. Be careful on the road and follow the rules of the escort agency. Don't do anything wrong. Saving your life is the first priority. Go!"

Xie Shuting waved her sleeves casually, without revealing any sense of disappointment in her words.

Song Zhen could only do so much. Seeing that the patriarch had made up his mind, he said no more. After stroking his hand and bowing, he quickly followed.

Watching Song Zhen's back disappear, Xie Shuting suddenly felt a little lost.

Lian Xi wanted to speak up to persuade her, but seeing the look on his young lady's face, he said with a hint of worry in his heart: "Young lady..."

"Xi'er!~"

"Miss! Have you changed your mind? It's still not too late to leave now." Lian Xi said happily.

"Come with me for a walk! I haven't been out for a long time." After saying that, Xie Shuting walked out of the county government office.

Lian Xi was already very happy when she heard this. What do you mean I haven't been out for a walk for a long time? I just went out to buy rice paper three days ago.

Suppressing the joy in her heart, Lian Xi hurriedly responded, "Miss! Slow down."

Standing in front of the window of the study room separated only by a garden, Xie Tingwen could see Xie Shuting's every move.

It is true that "no one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows a daughter better than her mother." As both a father and a mother, how could Xie Tingwen not see through Xie Shuting's thoughts?

"Hey!~"

Xie Tingwen sighed softly and murmured to himself, "I really don't know whether this fate is good or bad for you, and the royal family is not something our Xie family can reach."
