The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

In the study, Xie Tingwen watched Xie Shuting's every move through the window. He could see that Xie Shuting was already in love, after all, he had experienced it before.

"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."

If Xie Shuting knew what Xie Tingwen said, she would be in great trouble. After all, she had never revealed Zhao Zhen's identity.

Little did he know! From the first time he met Zhao Zhen, he saw that the other party was extraordinary and noble, which was difficult for others to match.

His surname was Zhao, he was from Bian Jing, and he had guards from the Ministry of Punishment. If he was not a member of the royal family, Xie Tingwen could not think of any other possibilities.

He even had a rough idea of ​​Yan Shuang's origins after Zhao Zhen's identity testified.

In the court of the Song Dynasty, the only person who was related to the royal family and had the surname Yan could only be Yan Qing, the Marquis of Ding'an, who married Princess Pingyang.

This Yan Shuang, who came from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, must be of good quality. Even if she is not a legitimate son, her status is still ranked among the best.

Although Xie Tingwen had guessed the general idea, Xie Shuting was deliberately concealing it. Naturally, he couldn't expose it, so he just pretended not to know and saved himself the trouble.

Cao Zhen stood blankly in the study, looking at Xie Tingwen for a long time without moving, and shouted with concern in his heart: "Sir! What are you doing..."

Xie Tingwen suddenly came back to his senses, stroked his sleeves and chuckled, "Nothing. I just thought of something."

"My lord, please take care of yourself. Laigu County cannot do without you." Cao Zhen stroked his hand and said.

"You!~"

Xie Tingwen raised his hand and nodded at Zhao Zhen, smiling noncommittally, "But after more than a month, you have also begun to cater to the ways of the officialdom."

"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? I am really worried. Now that I have come to Gu County..."

"All right."

Xie Tingwen immediately raised his hand to interrupt Cao Zhen's words, pretending to be slightly angry and said, "Stop saying such flattering words."

"Sir! I am not flattering you. Nowadays, the heads of the six yamen are all devoted to the policies of commercial taxation, agricultural reform, and disaster prevention. They are all working with high morale." Cao Zhen said proudly.

Xie Tingwen believed this statement. After all, he had seen the results from the recent actions of the Six Yamen officials.

It was not only Xie Tingwen who changed them, but also Laigu County's transformation from a dead and silent place to a prosperous one, which gave them hope.

The head of the Li Yamen had nothing to do on weekdays, so he followed the head of the Gong Yamen to the countryside to help dig wells.

Now the prison is full of cobwebs, and Sun Cheng, the head of the Criminal Court, is leading the task of digging wells in the city, and is very busy.

As for the head of the Military Office and the head of the Personnel Office, they also had no choice but to be invited by Cao Zhen to patrol the streets. As for their tasks, it was self-evident.

Xie Tingwen looked at Cao Zhen's smiling face and couldn't bear to discourage him. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Do you have any comments on those people I asked you to invite the day before yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen calmed down and bowed his head, saying, "Reporting to you, sir! I have already sent the letter, but the three gentlemen have not replied yet."

"No reply yet?"

Xie Tingwen knocked on the table in surprise, muttering to himself with a serious look, "Do they need me to go and invite them in person, or do they have something else to ask for?"

Seeing Xie Tingwen's puzzled expression, Cao Zhen said with a hint of uneasiness: "Sir! If possible, should we go there in person?"

"Do you think so too?" Xie Tingwen asked.

"Sir! I don't know much about Tong Yu and Li Yunxiang, but Cao Fang is from Caojiazhuang, so he is considered my relative. Does he have a strange temper?"

"Oh! How strange is it?" Xie Tingwen chuckled and showed some interest.

Cao Zhen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to explain it. At this moment, a yamen runner walked quickly to the door and whispered a few words to Uncle Qin.

Xie Tingwen naturally noticed the movement at the door. After waiting for a moment, he saw Uncle Qin slowly walking into the study.

"Master! Just now the yamen runner came to report that Mr. Dong from the private school sent someone to tell him that the three gentlemen have arrived."

Xie Tingwen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha! Captain Cao, we were still here speculating secretly, but we didn't expect that the person had already arrived."

Cao Zhen also stroked his hand with a bit of embarrassment and said, "It's still the usual way for adults to write letters."

"No, it's not that my letter worked, but that these three people really care about the people of Laigu County."

When Xie Tingwen said this, he immediately stood up, patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Captain Cao! If you have nothing to do right now, accompany me to meet him."

"I obey your command." Cao Zhen replied with a wry smile.

Outside the government office gate, Zhao Zhen and Yan Shuang stood on horseback, looking at the figure behind them who had not yet appeared, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.

Zhao Zhen's anger finally dissipated the moment Song Zhen appeared.

Yan Shuang's longing for Song Zhen became stronger the moment he appeared.

Song Zhen looked at the two people in the middle of the convoy who looked worried, and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Let's go."

The convoy moved slowly, naturally attracting many people to stop and watch. After all, the appearance of the escorts was too heroic and extraordinary.

Everyone was dressed in black, with a bow and crossbow on their waist and a uniform Mo Dao on their shoulders. When you see them, you will feel a sense of security.

At the south gate of the county town, Xie Shuting stood on the tower and looked out over South Street. Lian Xi stood to one side, his face showing a trace of worry.

He originally thought that his young lady would be waiting at the city gate, but he didn't expect that she would be on the city wall. They were dozens of meters apart, and she had to raise her voice to speak, obviously she didn't want to see him.

As a maid, he could only accompany her quietly, because he knew his mistress's character, and this was the last concession she could make.

The convoy drove slowly, and even when they reached the South Gate, they still didn't see Xie Shuting. At this moment, the two finally gave up.

Seeing that the patriarch had no intention of coming forward, Song Zhen immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

When passing through the city gate, Yan Shuang still couldn't help but look back, secretly praying in his heart that Xie Shuting would appear.

Unexpectedly! When I turned around, I saw the long-lost figure on the city wall, looking holy under the white snow.

"Shu Ting!" Yan Shuang shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhen turned around, and the moment he saw Xie Shuting, he stopped the convoy at the gate and walked a few steps forward, leaving the two of them a chance to be alone.

"Hmph!~"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but snorted coldly, followed Yan Shuang and rode forward, stroked his hand and said: "Thank you, Miss! I thought you wouldn't come to see us off."

"Mr. Zhao, you are joking. Since you and I have an appointment, how dare I not come to see you off?" Xie Shuting said calmly.

Zhao Zhen frowned when he heard this. Until now, he still didn't understand what the purpose of the agreement that Xie Shuting made him agree to was.

Little did he know! This agreement would make Zhao Zhen extremely regretful in the future. Even the imperial edict of Emperor Song Zhen could not change the destined ending.
