On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!
Chapter 7: Driven Out of the Barracks
"If Miss Shen cannot tell the truth, I don't mind sending this person to His Majesty. By then, what will be the fate of those involved? Miss Shen, I don't need to tell you, right?"
Listening to Cen Xiao's threatening words, Shen Wantang was not anxious. If Cen Xiao really wanted to expose this matter, he would not come to her at this time.
He helped himself to keep the matter secret.
However, she and Cen Xiao did not have much interaction in this life. She even rejected him many times. Logically speaking, this man should have no good feelings towards her, so why would he help her?
With doubts, Shen Wantang said calmly: "Does the prince want to use this to threaten me? If you really intend to do so, then I'm afraid you think too much. His Majesty trusts me very much, what can a dead soldier prove?"
Cen Xiao didn't say anything, but approached Shen Wantang step by step. Every time the man took a step, she took a step back uncontrollably. Until her back was against the wall and there was no way to retreat, Shen Wantang had to take a deep breath and looked up into Cen Xiao's eyes.
"you……"
She wanted to scold him for being rude, but she heard Cen Xiao say, "Shen Wantang, are you really so close to His Majesty and do you trust each other?"
"If that is true, why have you been hiding everything you have done since Your Majesty ascended the throne?"
Shen Wantang's breath was choked, and the cool breath of the man brushed across her face, causing her heart to pound uncontrollably. She clenched her fingers tightly, suppressing the urge to hug him desperately, and slowly closed her eyes.
After a long silence, she finally calmed down and said in a cold voice: "The reason why I hid it from His Majesty is because I only want to give him the result."
"The process is complicated, I will take care of it alone."
After saying that, she raised her hand and pushed Cen Xiao away, looking up at him with pretended disgust: "Prince Cen, have you forgotten that we are enemies? The General's Mansion is loyal to His Majesty, which is completely different from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion which has its own troops. If you act presumptuously again next time, I don't mind using the Ministry of Justice."
The Minister of Justice is Cen Xiao's confidant and his right-hand man.
If the Minister of Justice falls, Cen Xiao's power in the court will be greatly weakened.
Listening to Shen Wantang's threats, Cen Xiao was not angry. He chuckled and suddenly said, "Miss Shen, you really know me very well."
His voice was low and sexy, and it sounded like a stone falling into a lake, creating ripples in Shen Wantang's ears.
This... awful man.
Even though she and Cen Xiao were a loving couple in her previous life, Shen Wantang couldn't help but blush when faced with the man's teasing. She was a little furious and simply pushed Cen Xiao out and slammed the door.
The man stood at the door and shook his head innocently, but a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his handsome face.
For some reason, every time he saw Miss Shen, he always felt like he had known her for many years.
It was as if we had met before in a previous life.
This feeling was so mysterious that Cen Xiao couldn't explain it. He shook his head and flew away before the guards of the general's mansion heard the noise and rushed over.
The next day, General Shen was sure that there was no danger outside, and only then did he agree to let Shen Wantang go to the military camp for training.
She was wearing a short outfit today, with her black hair tied up high, and no makeup on. At first glance, she looked like a handsome young man. When she entered the military camp, Shen Wantang nodded to the soldiers who came to greet her, and then went to the captain's tent.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw several soldiers carrying a barrel of fine wine in.
Shen Wantang's eyes were gloomy and he followed her in.
The originally simple captain's tent now had two beautiful maids. There were also four soldiers standing guard. Captain Zhou, who was drinking with the Minister of Revenue, was holding one of the maids, opening the jar of wine and pouring it into her mouth with a smile.
"Come, have another drink with me. If you enjoy it, you will get your reward."
He had a very smug look on his face and on the table were some jewellery which looked very valuable.
Shen Wantang immediately confirmed that this person had completely joined Ji Xunchuan's camp.
She looked at the scene of extravagance and debauchery in front of her and sneered, "Captain Zhou is really in a good mood, drinking and having fun in broad daylight in the tent."
Captain Zhou was drinking happily when he was suddenly interrupted.
He looked up in dissatisfaction, but met Shen Wantang's dark eyes.
The man was so frightened that he shuddered and was about to stand up and salute, but then he changed his mind and became arrogant again.
"Miss Shen, I am sorry for your visit. Someone, please show Miss Shen a seat so that we can have a drink together."
Seeing that he was unwilling to even stand up, Shen Wantang laughed in anger: "Didn't you understand what I just said? Now is the time for training, but you are hiding in the tent drinking and enjoying yourself. It really doesn't belong to the identity of a soldier!"
She raised her hand and pointed, and the two maids trembled with fear: "The general has ordered that no maids or concubines are allowed in the military camp. You don't even care about my father."
Captain Zhou seemed to have heard a joke and burst into laughter: "Miss Shen, you are joking. We are loyal to the court, so we naturally listen to His Majesty. If we want to take it seriously, we only need to take care of His Majesty."
"As for General Shen, to put it bluntly, he is just a minister, so why should he use chicken feathers as a token of authority?"
After saying this, he even hugged the maid and kissed her without any hesitation, then looked at Shen Wantang with a provocative look on his face.
Shen Wantang came prepared, and seeing that Captain Zhou was stubborn and unyielding, he naturally would not be polite to him.
"Somebody come!"
She shouted angrily, and ten personal soldiers rushed in from outside: "What do you want, young lady?"
"Zhou Xiao disregarded military discipline and committed adultery in broad daylight. His crime is unforgivable! He should be put to death, but considering that he has served in the army for many years, he will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane, his military status will be revoked, and he will be expelled from the barracks!"
Shen Wantang used drastic measures, and Captain Zhou was dragged out before he even had time to react.
Looking at the man's screaming and struggling back, Shen Wantang took a deep breath and turned to go to his father's tent.
After hearing the whole story, General Shen was silent for a long time.
After a while, he sighed softly: "You did nothing wrong in this matter, but have you ever thought about it? Since Zhou Xiao has colluded with the Minister of Revenue, it means that he is now your Majesty's man."
"You are punishing him in this way, which is a slap in the face of His Majesty."
Shen Wantang smiled and said, "So what? Their affairs were all conspired, and how could my daughter, a girl in the boudoir, know about it? My father was not there at the time, so he naturally couldn't stop me."
"Even if this matter is exposed to His Majesty later, we can both play dumb. Moreover, His Majesty pretends to be gentle and polite on the surface, and he will not admit that he secretly planted spies in the military camp. Naturally, he will not criticize me for a mere deputy general."
