Shen Wantang, on the other hand, looked indifferent.

"But is there anything that Father wants you to tell me?"

Shen Wantang waved his hand, motioning Bai Ge to stand up, and then asked the routine question.

Bai Ge's words were stammering, and even his eyes were a little vague: "It's not the general, it's Xia Huai'en from the Ministry of Personnel."

When Xia Huai'en's name was read out, Shen Wantang suddenly stopped and his pupils shrank suddenly.

When did Xia Huai'en get in touch with Bai Ge?

"Xia Huai'en is a smart man. My actions were already covert enough, but he still caught me." Having said this, Bai Ge's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Xia Huai'en asked me to tell the young lady that the emperor wants to get rid of Cen Xiao, and there is a pawn in Jiangzhou City."

Bai Ge chose his words carefully and spoke slowly.

As soon as the words fell, a hint of coldness flashed across Shen Wantang's eyes, and then he swept his bright eyes coldly: "Anything else?"

"The Shen family may be facing a disaster."

Bai Ge repeated Xia Huai'en's last words word by word.

This day is still here.

But when Shen Wantang heard these words, he still seemed to have missed a step and fell off a cliff.

I could barely catch my breath.

After a short pause, Shen Wantang regained consciousness.

"Did Xia Huai'en tell us what he was thinking?" Shen Wantang thought for a moment before asking slowly.

Bai Ge shook his head, he really didn't know.

He was just a messenger, and even if he had a little emotion, he gave it all to Shen Wantang in front of him.

It seems that Xia Huai'en handed the power of choice to Shen Wantang.

Today, the Cen family and the Shen family seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they are closely related.

But now that the Cen family is in the Ming Dynasty, Ji Xunchuan will definitely start with the Cen family.

But now, Ji Xunchuan also has spies in Jiangzhou!

Shen Wantang clenched her fists, feeling a surge of regret in her heart - she had underestimated Ji Xunchuan and his vicious and cruel heart.

Cen Xiao was in the military camp, and it would be too conspicuous if he took action in the camp. It would be Xia Miao in just a few days.

At that time, Cen Xiao will lead the army into the deep mountains, where there is no one to guard the old forests. It seems that it is a good time to take action.

But the person who did it...

Shen Wantang was at a loss for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, her head felt a little dizzy. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows.

"Miss Shen! Madam has just acquired a few pieces of top-quality Suzhou embroidery and sent me over to ask you to pick some!"

At that moment, a maid's voice came from outside the door.

Shen Wantang came back to his senses: "Got it!"

Now it seems that the best way is to follow the army and go to Xia Miao together. Even if assassins come, the chances of winning will be higher if two people resist.

Shen Wantang stood up and let out a long sigh: "Thank you for your hard work."

Then, after calming down for a moment, he went to his aunt in front.

"This one is good, it suits you!" Wang Fengming put the Suzhou embroidery at hand on Chen Tao and compared them, feeling happy.

Chen Tao smiled awkwardly and put down the Su embroidery beside her: "Mother, such bright colors are no longer suitable for my daughter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wantang walked in. Chen Tao raised her head and said, "I think this material is just right for making clothes for Tang'er!"

Shen Wantang smiled in surprise, and an unconscious embarrassment appeared on her face.

Wang Fengming also took a look and nodded with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter, there are so many here, if you like, just pick one."

"I have picked out a few and added them to the betrothal gift list. The rest will be kept for you to make clothes." As he said this, Wang Fengming sat down, picked up the account at hand and added a few items.

Chen Tao was picking at the side, her heart and eyes filled with joy.

"I think this one is good, mother. I'll take it. I'll go back and make a long robe for my husband." Chen Tao smiled with satisfaction.

Shen Wantang walked forward slowly and looked at the dark cloth thoughtfully.

"Why does a scholar like my brother-in-law like to wear such dark clothes?" She asked with a faint smile.

Chen Tao smiled helplessly, and the maid beside her took the material away: "You don't know, although he is a scholar, he also has some kung fu skills, but they are just some mediocre skills, naturally not as good as yours."

Mr. Chen Tao knows Kung Fu?

This is a strange statement. Shen Wantang has lived two lives, and this is the first time he has heard of it.

"I didn't expect that my brother-in-law is such a talented person in both civil and military affairs." She forced a smile and responded.

Chen Tao's face was shy for a moment. She had been standing for a long time and felt a little tired. The maid beside her helped her sit aside and said, "It's not that I am good at both literature and martial arts. I just practiced some moves to make myself stronger."

Wang Fengming closed the account book and breathed a sigh of relief: "Now, the wedding banquet has been basically settled, and only some minor matters are left."

"Tang'er, it's also your aunt's fault. I've been busy with your elder brother's wedding these days and haven't had time to accompany you. I will definitely play with you after the wedding banquet is over."

Wang Fengming felt apologetic.

Shen Wantang smiled obediently and shook her head repeatedly: "Aunt, that's not true. Tang'er is so happy, how can I not be happy! Don't worry, I have Sister Tao'er to talk to me at home, and there are fun things to do outside, so how can I be bored?"

Shen Wantang had a sweet mouth when she was a child, and now that she has grown up, her words are still as sweet as the spring breeze.

Wang Fengming smiled from ear to ear, nodded repeatedly, picked up the account book and went to the warehouse.

Shen Wantang's eyes fell on Chen Tao who was standing beside her. She seemed to be thinking about something and asked, "Sister Tao, where did my brother-in-law learn Kung Fu?"

Chen Tao took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and slowly said: "I really don't know this. Before I met him, he knew kung fu, especially his short sword skills."

Shen Wantang nodded and had a general idea in his mind.

"Sister." Shen Wantang thought for a long time before speaking tremblingly, "Before, I heard that my brother-in-law said to you..."

Before Shen Wantang finished speaking, Chen Tao's face showed embarrassment, and she interrupted Shen Wantang: "Tang'er, I know what you want to say. In life, every couple has quarrels. I understand that you are just like my parents, and you are worried about me. Don't worry, he is a good person."

But seeing Shen Wantang's still worried look, Chen Tao smiled and said, "Did you go out for a drink and hear some rumors?"

As soon as the words fell, the embarrassment on Chen Tao's face shifted to Shen Wantang's face again.

For a moment, she felt her face burning and quickly lowered her head.

"Those people only care about listening to gossip for their own amusement, but what they say is all nonsense!" Although Chen Tao's voice was a little louder, he remained calm.
