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

Although the road from the imperial study to the palace gate was only two miles away, Shen Wantang's steps somehow became heavier.

Therefore, no matter how Shen Wantang keeps his distance from Cen Xiao, he can never escape the entanglement of fate.

So, no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape from the grudges and entanglements of her previous life?

Her thoughts were tangled around Shen Wantang's alarm clock. She let out a long sigh, and a line of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

Standing outside the palace gate, listening to the dull sound of the gate closing, she was lost in thought.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my face.

Shen Wantang slowly raised his head - it was snowing.

She did not get on the carriage. Instead, she took the cloak handed to her by the servant and walked towards home.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, vendors on the road hurriedly closed their stalls, and people's pace to go home also quickened a lot.

Some naughty children were still playing on the street. Occasionally they slipped and fell to the ground, but they just laughed a few times, stood up and continued walking forward.

Shen Wantang was so absorbed in looking at the passers-by that she didn't notice at all that a figure behind her had been following her for a long time.

The future of the Shen family and the rise and fall of the Cen family, these two burdens were on her shoulders, making her feel a little breathless.

"Miss Shen."

The person following behind him couldn't help himself, and hurried forward and asked, "It's snowing so heavily, but you're still lingering on the street. Are you enjoying the scenery?"

Shen Wantang stopped and slowly turned around.

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and tilted the umbrella in his hand a little closer to her.

For a moment, all her thoughts came to a sudden halt, and she stared at Cen Xiao with a look that was not innocent.

Even Cen Xiao was stunned for a moment when he looked at her: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

After the words fell, Shen Wantang's thoughts came back to him. The emotions in his eyes were hidden, and he asked coldly: "General Cen, why are you following me?"

I’m afraid the only person who could recognize Shen Wantang so clearly on the street was Cen Xiao.

"I was strolling on the street and ran into him by chance." Cen Xiao shrugged.

Not interested in wandering?

Shen Wantang turned around and snorted, teasing, "You don't want to wander around? Where are you wandering around? In a brothel?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao's eyes darkened - so much time had passed, why was she still so brooding over what had happened in the secret room of the brothel?

"Cen is a clean person, not as dirty as Miss Shen thinks."

He frowned slightly and continued to defend himself.

"General Cen, it's fine if you can deceive others, but don't deceive yourself." Shen Wantang let out a long sigh and continued.

"you……"

Cen Xiao, who has lived one lifetime, is naturally not as venomous as Shen Wantang, who has lived two lifetimes.

"The Shen Mansion is ahead. Thank you, General Cen, for seeing me off." Shen Wantang paused, turned around and saluted politely.

It would have been fine if he was just sending someone off, but along the way, Shen Wantang kept teasing Cen Xiao. His face was gloomy, and he stared at Shen Wantang with a sinister look.

Without saying anything else, Shen Wantang turned and left.

After Shen Wantang returned home, the deputy general who had been following him secretly came forward.

"General, have you hit a wall again?"

Although I didn't hear what the two said, but looking at my own Gongzi's face, I was sure that it was probably true.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao's cold eyes shifted to the deputy general, making people shudder.

"Go and accept the punishment yourself." After leaving these cold words, Cen Xiao turned around and left.

The deputy general sighed helplessly: "You failed in your courtship, so you want to vent your anger on me. Forget it, after all, you are my son."

There's no sign of the heavy snow stopping.

The next morning, as soon as I opened the door, the snow was still falling.

Today is New Year's Eve.

Shen Wantang got up early.

A few days ago, due to being busy with official duties, Qing'e was in charge of cleaning the garden.

Qing'e really seemed to be in charge, keeping everything in the garden in order.

"Qing'e, help me prepare the horse. I'm going to the military camp later to pick up my father." Shen Wantang spoke slowly during breakfast.

But looking at the heavy snow outside, Qing'e couldn't help but worry: "Miss, it's snowing so hard, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to be alone."

Shen Wantang smiled calmly: "I have experienced many life-threatening situations on the battlefield. These things are nothing."

There is some truth to that.

But Qing'e was still worried, so she replaced the horse with a carriage and wrapped the carriage inside and out with oil paper, only then did she feel relieved.

The military camp was some distance away from the capital, and the carriage took a long time to finally arrive.

At that time, the soldiers in the barracks had already rushed back home to celebrate the New Year, and only a few of them remained in the barracks.

Shen Wantang went to General Shen's office with ease.

"Father." she called softly.

General Shen raised his head, and the moment he saw Shen Wantang, the worry between his brows immediately disappeared.

"Tang'er, why are you here?"

"Today is New Year's Eve, and my father hasn't returned home, so I came to the military camp to look for him." Shen Wantang stepped forward and said with a smile.

"I saw you looked worried just now. What's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Shen Wantang came forward and asked softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, General Shen let out a long sigh.

If it was a trivial matter, there would be no need for this first-rank general to stay in the military camp on New Year's Eve.

I think it should be a big deal.

"Recently, there have been many cases of food supplies, horses, and weapons being lost in the military camps." General Shen said with a frown.

Shen Wantang's heart tightened immediately afterwards - it was okay if the military rations were lost, at most he could allocate some from the Shen Mansion, but the horses and weapons were no small matter.

Moreover, it was lost during General Shen's patrol. If the emperor were to investigate, the Shen family would still be the ones to suffer.

"Have you found any clues?" Shen Wantang asked.

General Shen shook his head and rubbed his brows: "I have checked many times now, but still have no clue. From the soldiers in the army to those who feed the horses and guard the weapons, I have checked them all, but I haven't found anything wrong."

"Or is it someone from the Ministry of War?" Shen Wantang asked with a sinking heart.

At this point, General Shen became even more worried: "The people in the Ministry of War are all just eating for free. I sent someone to look for them today, but there was no news. If I send someone to ask again in a few days, there will be no clues."

"More than half a month has passed now. If the ant has moved the food, it should have been discovered by now!"

General Shen was helpless and clenched his fists.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly - since the people from the Ministry of War were trying to evade responsibility, it must be one of their own doing.

In the past, the Minister of War Dai Mengtao had many conflicts with the Shen family, so naturally he wanted to take this opportunity to cause trouble.

In this case, don't blame the Shen family for not giving you face.

"Dad, don't worry about these things for now. Today is New Year's Eve and the court has a ten-day holiday. Take this opportunity to have a good rest. Once you are well recovered, it won't be too late to look for termites later."
