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

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wantang came into the front hall.

"Father." She spoke calmly, then raised her eyelashes and looked at Cen Xiao beside her, "Meet General Cen."

Cen Xiao was not timid, he stood up and returned the greeting respectfully: "I meet Miss Shen."

General Shen also stood up slowly: "This house is well built. There is a bamboo forest in the backyard. It is quite quiet."

Hearing this, Cen Xiao quickly spoke up: "Holding on to the green mountains, the roots are in the broken rocks. I have never heard of any family in the capital having a bamboo forest. I wonder if I can have the honor to take a look."

General Shen nodded repeatedly: "Of course."

As he spoke, he stood up and the three of them walked towards the backyard together.

"General Shen, I heard a few days ago that something seemed to have happened in the camp." On the way, Cen Xiao spoke tentatively.

General Shen's eyes darkened, and then he managed a smile: "There are many things to do in the camp. I wonder what General Cen is talking about?"

With Cen Xiao's ability to collect intelligence, he naturally knew this long ago. He asked now just to test the truth.

Seeing General Shen like this, I felt more at ease.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Cen Xiao continued speaking, but before he could finish his sentence, a servant came running over.

"General."

The servant looked a little flustered, but when he saw there were guests, he hid himself.

"Someone from the camp came to report that they want you to come over for an important matter." The servant spoke vaguely, but General Shen understood immediately.

He nodded and waved his hand to send the servant away.

"General Cen, I'm really sorry." He turned around and smiled awkwardly.

Cen Xiao quickly responded: "National affairs are the most important."

But General Shen still felt vaguely uneasy, as he always felt that there was some secret hidden behind Cen Xiao's smiling eyes.

"Dad, there is something going on in the camp. You go first. I will accompany General Cen to visit the house." Shen Wantang came forward, his gentle eyes full of determination.

After hearing Shen Wantang's words, General Shen finally felt relieved.

Looking at General Shen's back, Cen Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then slowly turned around, his burning eyes fell on Shen Wantang again.

After his father left, Shen Wantang's face darkened.

He stared at Cen Xiao with sinister eyes and spoke slowly, "General Cen, why did you send my father away?"

Cen Xiao was slightly stunned - how did she figure that out?

Shen Wantang turned around and continued walking towards the backyard.

"Was what I said to General Cen last night not clear enough?" Shen Wantang spoke coldly with a resolute tone.

Cen Xiao followed him forward, but his tone was very cheerful: "Ms. Shen is really smart, you can't hide this from your eyes."

"I came here today because I want to confirm something with Miss Shen." Cen Xiao stepped forward and spoke slowly.

Shen Wantang's eyes were firm: "General Cen, I have explained last night's events very clearly. No matter how many times you ask, my answer will still be the same as last night."

But just as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao beside him sneered and laughed.

Shen Wantang slowed down his pace and looked at Cen Xiao's slightly smug eyes before realizing that he was not talking about that matter.

But if Cen Xiao had the chance, he would have teased Shen Wantang: "Ms. Shen, between you and me, who is the one who can't let go? I didn't say anything just now, but Miss Shen's reaction is a bit..."

There was a panic in Shen Wantang's eyes, but he still raised his head, as if he was building up momentum for himself.

"General Cen, just ask whatever you want to ask." She spoke slowly.

"Who is you to Xia Huai'en, the Minister of Personnel?" Cen Xiao said bluntly.

Shen Wantang was slightly startled, and looked at Cen Xiao with some caution.

"Don't say those high-sounding words. I know a woman named Yue Fu, who now runs a spice shop in the capital. She is the former top prostitute Yue Fu."

Cen Xiao spoke with such finality that it seemed as if he had already turned the Xia family's assets upside down.

"Since General Cen already knows all this, why are you asking me?" Shen Wantang frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Cen Xiao said nothing, just stared at Shen Wantang.

After a long stalemate, Shen Wantang finally spoke: "Xia Huai'en advocates reform, and I am willing to work with him."

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao's eyes darkened, as if he was feeling a little jealous.

After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I wonder if this Lord Xia has a feasible solution?"

Shen Wantang paused, and said helplessly: "General Cen is a military commander, when did he start to care about the affairs of civil officials?"

"If you look closely, isn't Miss Shen also a military commander? Then why did Miss Shen want to work with Xia Huai'en?"

Cen Xiao thinks quickly and refuses to suffer any loss.

Seeing Cen Xiao's resolute look, Shen Wantang knew that Cen Xiao was a very stubborn person.

"General Cen, don't you want to see the bamboo forest? I'll take you there right now." Shen Wantang turned around and walked to the side.

Seeing that she looked a little annoyed, Cen Xiao felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart.

Walking along the path, the bamboo forest is right in front of you.

The bamboos standing in the white snow are quite artistic.

Walking in the bamboo forest, Shen Wantang's previous anger slowly disappeared.

"Shen Wantang, are you in love with Xia Huai'en?"

There were only Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao in the bamboo forest. When his voice slowly sounded, Shen Wantang stopped.

What on earth is he thinking about!?

Where did his former calmness go? Was this really the Cen Xiao she knew?

Shen Wantang slowly turned around and sighed helplessly: "Cen Xiao, you are really boring. Why do you think about those romantic stories all day long?"

Cen Xiao said nothing, but emotion flowed in his eyes.

But beneath the emotions, there is a sinister aspect.

"Who I like is none of your business."

The look she gave Cen Xiao was extremely cold, even colder than the winter day.

Cen Xiao was no longer as flustered as he was last night. Instead, he raised his eyebrows calmly and said, "Miss Shen, I heard that Duke Dingguo has chosen you as the wife of his young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wantang frowned - how did he know that Duke Dingguo had just left!

"Listen to my advice, the young master of Duke Dingguo is not a good match for you. There is no one who is a good match for you in the capital right now." Cen Xiao smiled indifferently, half-squinting his eyes, and his tone was somewhat teasing.

Shen Wantang didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Xia Huai'en is a talented person, but unfortunately, he is not worthy of you." Cen Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised his eyebrows.

"Cen Xiao, you are really unreasonable." Shen Wantang couldn't stand Cen Xiao's weirdness anymore, so he said bluntly, "If you hadn't been born in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, you would definitely be a good swordsmith, but you are so mean!"

Cursing him out loud might make him give up.

After all, not many people dare to marry a fierce woman who is good at martial arts and can curse.
