Splendid Twins

Si Yao came out of the academy and asked Wang Dahu to drive the car to the county government office. The sale of barren mountains had to be approved by the county magistrate to be legal.

On the way, Si Yao looked at Wang Dahu who was driving the car and said casually:

"My Dantian was destroyed and all my martial arts skills were lost. No wonder I beat you down in the first place..."

After hearing this, Wang Dahu turned pale with shock. He slowly turned his head to look at Si Yao, with a flash of horror in his eyes:

"You, I..."

"I have a way to restore your Dantian. How about it? Are you interested in cooperating?"

Wang Dahu's face turned pale for a moment, and then he felt it was incredible, and spoke softly:

"Don't joke around. I admit that I have concealed some things, but I will never hurt you. Now that I have Xiaoyu, you can ask me to do anything..."

"Have I lied to you?"

"That's not true!"

"Really? You really have a solution? Don't try to fool me!"

"Really? I'll help you treat it when I'm done."

Wang Dahu only needs a repair talisman, but the prerequisite is to collect more spiritual energy.

"My, you, benefactor..."

"Let's go quickly, finish it early and come back early."

Wang Dahu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He suppressed his ecstasy and took a deep breath, then said to Si Yao solemnly:

"Whether it succeeds or not, I appreciate your kindness. From now on, if you have anything to ask, just tell me and I will follow your orders!"

"Okay, let's go."

Si Yao raised the corner of her mouth. She had too few people available. Fortunately, Wang Dahu was a good candidate. Only by exchanging interests could people reach a consensus!

The carriage started galloping, and the scenery on the road flashed by. Within a stick of incense, Si Yao was already standing outside the gate of the county government.

The yamen runner at the door looked at Si Yao's face a few more times with a knife on his waist. Si Yao walked over and spoke softly:

"Brother, I would like to see the county magistrate. Please inform him."

"In a hurry?"

The bailiff spoke in a gentle tone, fearing that he might offend the beauty before him.

"Just say that Zhou Yu's sister is here to see you, sir!"

When the bailiff heard this, he nodded slightly and walked into the gate of the county government office. Si Yao followed behind Wang Dahu, and the two of them waited quietly.

After a while, Magistrate Li, wearing a dark official uniform, walked out with steady steps. He had a solemn and majestic aura, especially his sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Who is looking for me?"

Si Yao stepped forward calmly and bowed:

"I, Si Yao, greet you, Your Excellency."

"Are you Si Yao?"

Magistrate Li looked at Si Yao straight in the eye and saw that she behaved elegantly and calmly, with a graceful demeanor. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It's a folk girl."

County Magistrate Li nodded and said, "Come in." Then he turned and walked inside.

There was a hint of worry on Wang Dahu's face. Si Yao gave her a calm look and followed her in.

Magistrate Li motioned for Si Yao to take a seat in the back hall. He had a solemn expression just now, but now he smiled and asked:

"Miss Si, are you in trouble?"

Si Yao's eyelashes flickered slightly, and she shook her head and said, "With you, a diligent and people-loving judge, in charge, I can live a happy life."

"Haha, young lady, you are very eloquent. I wonder if you will come to my house today..."

"I want to buy the barren hills around Sijia Village and hire villagers to plant fruit trees. This will not only improve the surrounding environment but also increase the villagers' income. However, the procedures for buying the barren hills must go through you..."

County Magistrate Li quickly understood the benefits of this. Planting trees on the barren hills would not only benefit the country and the people, but would also be a political achievement for himself. He began to have a greater appreciation for Si Yao.

He knew the girl's background and what she did just now was just a test. If she just came to him to complain because she couldn't stand the poor life in the countryside, then he could only ask her to leave politely for her sake!

"Haha, this is a great thing. I agree with it. Your brother, Prince Zhou, once came to see me and was worried that you would not feel comfortable here. Now it seems that you are doing well."

Magistrate Li smiled heartily, and his tone became more intimate and gentle. At first, due to the majesty of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he had some prejudice against this girl, but now he realized that he was narrow-minded.

"That's fine. If you encounter any difficult problems, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me."

Si Yao replied with a smile on her face, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes.

The year Zhou Yu came of age, the Duke of Zhenguo wrote a letter to request that he be named the Crown Prince. Now, no one knows how he is doing in the military camp...

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. At this time, Zhou Yu had just come down from the training ground. He was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and stumbling forward.

His face was flushed red due to the intense exercise, like a ripe apple, and his eyes were full of fatigue but also flashed with determination.

He returned to his tent and sat on a chair to take the tea handed over by the secret guard. His hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold it steady. Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said in a depressed tone:

"What did you find out?"

There have been some anomalies recently, especially the attitude of the general towards me, which seems to be deliberately torturing me...

He has been ordered around for many days in a row. He is either out on training or sparring with all the soldiers on the training ground. After the training, he has to report his experience to the general and practice martial arts with him at night!

I was completely exhausted and confused. Could someone be targeting the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?

"I am incompetent, I hope you will forgive me!"

The secret guard took the teacup and put it down, then knelt down and bowed his head to apologize.

Zhou Yu sat upright on the chair, his hands on his thighs, his eyes firm and his face serious. After a while, he ordered in a cold voice:

"Send a message to father and ask if there is anything unusual in the capital!"

"Yes!"

At this time, the man in military uniform in the general's tent sneered:

"As the saying goes, a son pays his father's debts, and a brother pays his sister's debts. It's normal for me to punish him!"

The guards beside him echoed, "You are right. The young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion slapped our girl in public. It is normal for you, as an uncle, to vent your niece's anger!"

The general guarding the border is the brother-in-law of the Minister of Rites. Because Zhou Wan slapped the girl, the Minister's wife wrote a letter home to inform her brother. He also happened to be Zhou Yu's boss, and now people are taking out all their anger on him!

"The barbarians on the other side come out to harass the people from time to time. You arrange for him to go on patrol. Remember, follow him secretly to provide protection!"

It is normal to get injured and bleed when training in the army. If he loses his life, he will have a hard time explaining to that old bastard, the Duke of Zhenguo!

When the Duke of Zhenguo received the secret letter from the secret guard, he was a little confused. After reading it, his face looked extremely ugly when the relationships between the characters appeared in his mind. He tried to hold back but still couldn't, and directly smashed three rulers to suppress his anger!

He stood up and went straight to Zhou Wan's yard. This was where Yaoyao used to live. He had never been here since she moved in. As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhou Wan punishing several maids to kneel down, holding a whip in her hand and showing off her power:

"How dare you, you bastards, laugh at me? I'll sell you to a brothel to serve men..."

As he said that, he swung the whip at the maid. The Duke of Zhenguo stood at the door watching with an expressionless face. The anger on his face just now had disappeared completely. He looked at her with a very cold look and turned around and left quietly!

When the Duke's wife learned that her husband was going to send her daughter to a manor to cultivate her character, she burst into tears. Wan'er did some things wrong, but she was still a child and she would be taught slowly in the future. Besides, in their circle, which girl would go to a manor for no reason? If her reputation was ruined, how could she find a husband in the future?

Seeing that his wife had not yet realized that her own daughter's character had become crooked, the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to say a few words to prepare her mind, but his wife ended up accusing him of being cold-hearted and unsympathetic!

The Duke of Zhenguo simply didn't care. After all, she would get married in the future, so if she wanted to cause trouble, it would be to others...

However, when Zhou Wan brought devastating disaster to the entire Duke's Mansion in the near future, the Duke of Zhenguo was filled with remorse and beat his chest!
