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

"Sister, you haven't been to the backyard to see the koi yet, the weather is nice today, why don't you walk with me and talk?"

Chen Tao changed the subject, smiled calmly, and then took Shen Wantang's arm.

Shen Wantang naturally accepted this opportunity with pleasure.

A breeze blew by, causing ripples in the pond, shattering the shadow of the woman in the water.

"He treated me very well and agreed to everything I asked. He knew I had many requests, so he volunteered to marry into my family. No matter how others poked at him, he never complained. But I know he felt bad inside."

Chen Tao sighed, but she was happy in her heart.

"That year, he asked me to go on an outing, and suddenly we encountered bandits. The bandits were fierce, and he fought them alone, but he was still injured." Whenever Chen Tao mentioned what happened that year, he couldn't stop crying.

"I brought him back, but he didn't want to go home, so I had no choice but to take him to the restaurant. When my mother found out, she thought he had bullied me, so she dragged me out of the restaurant, leaving him alone. He didn't even have his clothes on, so she hurried after me."

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang frowned - this was completely different from what the boatman said.

"He treats me very well." Chen Tao emphasized again, with happiness on her face.

Seeing this, Shen Wantang could only smile in response.

The two talked by the pond for a while before Shen Wantang went back.

But the more I thought about what Chen Tao said today, the stranger it seemed.

She sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and waited for Qing'e to sort out the Suzhou embroidery sent from the front yard before she came back to her senses.

"Qing'e, did you hear what my cousin said just now?"

Shen Wantang shook the teacup and asked slowly.

Qing'e paused and nodded.

"Do you think what Miss Cousin said is true?" Shen Wantang already had the answer in his mind, "You can say whatever you want."

Qing'e thought for a moment, and her lips straightened: "My cousin's personal experience is of course true. Although Qing'e has only met my cousin a few times, Qing'e can feel that my cousin would not tell lies."

"But the rumors about my cousin have spread so far that they are out of control. Even the governor cannot silence the people."

Qing'e seemed to be thinking about something, then slowly spoke: "In my opinion, someone must have done this on purpose!"

Hearing this, Shen Wantang nodded, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then who do you think is the driving force behind this?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Qing'e's face disappeared. She looked at Shen Wantang beside her awkwardly and said faintly: "Miss..."

"Just tell me."

Shen Wantang nodded, and his determined eyes gave Qing'e a sense of security.

"The person who spread such a rumor must know the inside story. Secondly, this matter must be of great benefit to that person. From this point of view, I am afraid there is only one person..."

Qing'e's voice became smaller and smaller, "It's possible that it was my cousin-in-law..."

After the words fell, Shen Wantang smiled generously, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the girl in front of him: "Qing'e is really amazing, if you were an official, you would definitely be the Minister of Dali Temple!"

After hearing Shen Wantang's words, Qing'e breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Do you think so, Miss?" Then she tilted her head and asked.

Shen Wantang's eyes were stern, and he had already made some plans in his mind: "If you are sincere, you are not afraid of being tested."

But now, Shen Wantang has no time to take care of the Chen family's affairs. News came from the military camp that Xia Miao is coming tomorrow.

She couldn't spare the energy to do anything else.

Her uncle's family treated her very well, and she couldn't bear to watch her sister fall into this fire.

After the matter of Xia Miao is over, she will definitely question her brother-in-law thoroughly.

At that time, in the military camp.

"Young Master." Pei Qing came trotting over.

Looking at his expression, Cen Xiao guessed about 80% of it.

The two returned to the tent. Pei Qing frowned and said, "There's news from the capital that Jiangzhou also has a spy from the palace, and they want to harm you."

After hearing this, Cen Xiao was not too surprised, and even sneered.

"The man in the palace should not be underestimated. He was able to take the throne. Do you really think he is cunning? Do you have any news about Jiangzhou's spies?"

Pei Qing looked embarrassed, lowered his eyes and shook his head.

Cen Xiao picked up the teacup and raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, just investigate slowly."

"But Jiangzhou City has a complex population, we are unfamiliar with the place, and most of the people coming and going are merchants. How can we know?" Pei Qing was panicked for a moment, and then he spoke.

Cen Xiao put down the teacup quietly, raised his eyebrows and said: "Most merchants do business, they would not do things like killing people and robbing goods."

"Tomorrow is summer, so we should go to the mountains and hide for a while."

Now it seems that this is the only way.

But Pei Qing was holding back his anger, his eyes slightly red: "Master, we are too frustrated. We can't fight, so we can only be cowards like this!"

Cen Xiao worked slowly and steadily, tapping his bony index finger lightly on the table as he began to make calculations in his mind.

"Go and call the people who caused trouble that day."

Pei Qing was stunned, but didn't ask anything.

In a moment, the young general entered the tent, sweat dripping down his forehead and a clear look in his eyes.

"General, do you have anything to ask of me?"

Cen Xiao stood up straight, looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "With the departure of Mr. Yu, we are short of a captain. Are you willing to take on this important task?"

After he finished speaking, the young general stood there in a daze, his eyes, which had been clear just now, now looked a little dull.

Cen Xiao's words seemed like a dream, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly: "General, are you telling the truth?"

"If you don't want to, just pretend I never said anything."

Seeing this, Cen Xiao put away his satisfaction, lowered his head coldly, then turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he heard a plop and the young general knelt on the ground, tears already soaking his eyes: "Thank you so much, General!"

Cen Xiao didn't want to say anything else. He just gave Pei Qing a look and then turned and left.

When Cen Xiao left, the young general who was kneeling on the ground had already burst into tears: "Get up quickly! Can the general still lie to you? Look at your lack of ability."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet." Pei Qing asked.

"My surname is Wu, and my given name is Qing." The young general stood up hurriedly and roughly wiped the tears from his face.

"Xia Miao, don't let the general down tomorrow." Pei Qing patted his shoulder and raised his eyebrows.

Wu Qing nodded repeatedly, then left the tent and continued training.

As soon as he came out, he saw a man in black standing in front of the tent with an unusually firm look in his eyes.

"Is the military commander in there?" the man spoke, but with a bit more of a scholarly air in his voice.
