On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

After hearing this, Qing'e was stunned for a while.

At that time, Cen Xiao had already lost his patience. He waved his hands repeatedly and drove Qing'e out of the room.

Late at night, the candlelight still flickers.

Cen Xiao spread the mat on the ground and looked at the beams, thinking about something.

"Who could it be?" Cen Xiao frowned, and then kept looking at Shen Wantang who was holding his hand tightly.

Is it Xia Huai'en?

No, no, no, Xia Huai'en was the top scorer in the imperial examination last year, and he had never met Shen Wantang before, so it couldn't be him.

Who else?

Lian Zhao?

Thinking of this person, Cen Xiao shook his head again and again: "Impossible, Lian Zhao is a playboy, who in the capital doesn't know him? How could someone as smart as Shen Wantang fall for him?"

Who else could it be?

Could it be that Shen Wantang and that person were childhood sweethearts?

Thinking of this, Cen Xiao retracted his wrist angrily, but Shen Wantang held it even tighter.

He sighed and closed his eyes helplessly: "Cheating this prince's feelings!"

Fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Shen Wantang suddenly woke up and screamed, "Let him go!"

It took me a long time to come back to my senses. What just happened was just a dream.

She let out a long sigh, but as soon as she turned around, she met Cen Xiao's resentful eyes.

She suddenly stepped back, her brows furrowed, "You, why are you in my room?"

Sleeping on the floor, even though there was a mat, was really uncomfortable. Cen Xiao woke up several times during the night, and the bruises under his eyes were about to fall to the ground.

"You got drunk last night and insisted on holding my hand, so I had no choice but to stay in your room for the night. Why, now that you've woken up, do you not want to admit your mistake?"

Cen Xiao moved his wrist, but now the numbness had started to set in and his arm felt really uncomfortable.

"Qing'e!"

Shen Wantang was too lazy to talk so much with the person in front of him, so he shouted and called Qing'e over.

"Miss, yesterday, it was just as the prince said..." Qing'e said awkwardly.

Shen Wantang couldn't believe it.

Cen Xiao stood up slowly, with a cold smile on his face, and said sarcastically: "Last night, Miss Shen was still talking about your sweetheart whom you haven't seen for a long time."

"Miss Shen held my hand but called someone else's name. For a moment, I didn't know whether Miss Shen was affectionate or sentimental."

After leaving a few words, Cen Xiao turned away.

"you!"

Shen Wantang held his breath in his chest, but couldn't say anything.

After packing up everything, Shen Wantang and others were about to set off back to Beijing.

County Magistrate Jiang originally wanted to keep everyone here for another night, but they had already wasted too much time on the journey. If they returned to Beijing too late, they would probably be reported.

In the afternoon, several people set off back to Beijing.

The carriage was shaking, and Cen Xiao's heart was shaking with it. He kept glancing at Shen Wantang beside him, but he still didn't ask the words that were stuck in his throat.

"Ahem." After a long while, Cen Xiao slowly spoke, "Have you thought about how to report your work when you return to Beijing this time?"

Shen Wantang let out a long sigh and said leisurely: "Of course I will report it truthfully."

"Report truthfully? Then Lord Shen, are you going to report the collusion with Magistrate Jiang as well?" Cen Xiao said sarcastically.

Shen Wantang was calm and collected, raising his eyelashes: "Prince Cen, there is no need to mock me. Keeping the matter of County Magistrate Jiang secret will benefit both you and me."

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao snorted coldly: "Since when did you, Lord Shen, also learn the trick of sneaking into Chencang?"

"There is no other way. As a person, you always have to consider your family and yourself. Now that you are in a high position, you have to consider the people even more."

No matter how much Cen Xiao resented Shen Wantang, she just ignored him.

"Lord Shen, I am really curious, who is the person in your mind?" Cen Xiao was too lazy to beat around the bush and talk about so many other things. He moved forward and stared at Shen Wantang with his sharp eyes.

At this moment, Shen Wantang finally felt a little flustered.

"No comment." Shen Wantang said calmly.

Looking at the cold-faced woman in front of him, Cen Xiao felt a surge of anger in his heart: "Stop the car!"

"If you want to vent your anger, please do it quickly and don't miss your return to the capital." Shen Wantang was still unhurried.

At that time, Cen Xiao was too lazy to pay attention.

He jumped off the carriage and led out a horse in front of the carriage. He jumped on the horse and rode away.

"This..." The groom was at a loss as to what to do with the noise.

"It's okay, let him be..." Shen Wantang lifted the curtain and spoke helplessly as she looked at Cen Xiao's back.

"Sir, there is only one horse in this carriage now. I'm afraid we can't arrive in the capital city as agreed..." The coachman frowned.

Shen Wantang heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay, we will definitely pass by the county before, then we can just buy another one."

But Qing'e on the side was a little troubled.

"Miss, we don't have any extra money..."

Shen Wantang suddenly realized, yes, there is no money...

After thinking for a long time, she took out the golden token.

It seems that I can only rely on this token to get through the next few days...

After passing Mo County, it will be much faster to reach the capital.

After traveling for several days, we finally arrived at the foot of the imperial city.

Without the emperor's order, he was not allowed to return to the capital without permission. Shen Wantang found an inn to rest up, one to recuperate, and the other to look for Cen Xiao's whereabouts.

"Is everything you said true?"

"It's absolutely true! My brother-in-law's wife's brother is the groom for General Shen's military camp. How can this be false? General Shen hasn't been to the military camp for a long time."

"How long has the Shen family been rich? Why is it defeated now?"

In the front hall, guests who came to stay overnight were discussing the latest events in the capital.

Hearing General Shen, Shen Wantang paused.

From what these people said, my father is no longer in the military camp?

That's not right. We just recruited soldiers a few days ago, and now is the time for training. Where else can General Shen go if he is not in the barracks?

"Who can say for sure? I feel that General Shen must have offended someone, and that person must have gone to the emperor to gossip about him."

Some people were talking in low voices.

"Ahem, how can you discuss the affairs of the court? If what you just said is true, then the emperor must have believed in slander? My dear, the mouth brings disaster!"

A familiar voice interrupted the conversation between the few people, and Shen Wantang suddenly looked up——

I only saw Cen Xiao sitting upright at the next table, grabbing the wine glass and pouring a glass of wine.

As soon as the words fell, the person who had been gossiping just now fell silent and said no more.

"What are you still standing there for? Aren't you here to look for me?" Cen Xiao raised his head and glanced at Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang regained his senses and sat down.

"You came back earlier than me. Has this matter spread early in the morning?"

Shen Wantang frowned and asked in a low voice.

Now ordinary people are talking about it, so it must have spread.
