Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother

Pearl nodded, "Of course, ma'am."

In the previous life, behind the brothels, there was a secret passage connecting to a small courtyard at the back. To outsiders, it might be an ordinary house, but in fact, it held a mystery.

The border spy is inside.

She brought Pei'er with her just now in order to have a legitimate reason.

"Yes, an ordinary alley is guarded by so many people."

She looked at Chu Heng who was in deep thought, "Don't you think it's strange?"

Chu Heng and Liu Fengcheng, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, looked at each other and noticed the flash of light in each other's eyes.

Liu Fengcheng slammed the table and said, "Go and have a look!"

As a general, Chu Heng naturally had to go.

He walked past Xie Chaochao solemnly and said softly, "You stay here, I'll be back soon."

Xie Chaochao bowed and watched the two leave.

After a stick of incense had passed, there was a huge commotion outside the door.

Xie Chaochao, who was in a light sleep, was awakened by Pei'er. She smiled and said, "Madam, the general is back!"

Xie Chaochao went out and saw a large number of prison warden escorting five street vendors in. Liu Fengcheng and Chu Heng were discussing something in the back, but when they saw her, they hurried over.

"Thank you, Madam, for allowing me to successfully capture the border spy. No matter what, I will treat you and the young general to a meal today."

Xie Chaochao waved his hands, pretending to know nothing.

"You are too polite, sir. I just feel a little strange and don't know who it is. In terms of merit, it is also Lord Liu who has wiped out so many people in one fell swoop. There is no need for a guest. Thank you for your kindness."

Liu Fengcheng liked Xie Chaochao's sincere character.

Don't take credit, don't be pretentious, and don't lie.

Looking back at Chu Heng, he patted his shoulder with his big hand and said, "Madam is pretty good."

Chu Heng originally liked to keep a straight face, but because of Xie Chaochao, he put on a faint, barely noticeable smile, feeling slightly proud in his heart. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "I am so lucky."

"Let's go and interrogate the spy first. Do you want to go back first or wait for me here?"

Having waited for so long, Xie Chaochao wouldn’t mind waiting any longer.

Chu Heng got a response and felt anticipation in his heart.

After leaving with Liu Fengcheng, Xie Chaochao took Pei'er back to the room, walked to the side and picked up a book to read.

……

Prison.

Chu Heng folded his arms, leaning against the wall, his face expressionless, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, emitting a sharp aura all over his body.

Liu Fengcheng's eyes widened with anger. "Do you think the two people who escaped will come back to get you reinforcements? You are wishful thinking. Do you really think it is so easy to enter the capital and leave the Dali Temple whenever you want?"

"Tell us the purpose of your visit and we can spare your lives."

The five spies tied to the stakes on the opposite side were beaten to pieces. One of them spat on the ground, "Bah! Kill them or chop them up, it's all up to you! They will avenge us! They will!"

Liu Fengcheng frowned, "They are just stubborn. Let's detain the five of them separately. I don't believe we can't get anything out of them."

After all, they underestimated the endurance of the five people.

They were knocked unconscious, splashed with water to wake them up, and all kinds of criminal laws were used, but they still couldn't pry open the five people's mouths.

It was getting dark and I knew I couldn’t ask anything.

Liu Fengcheng asked Chu Heng to take his wife back and he would think of a solution tomorrow.

Chu Heng said calmly, "If that doesn't work, I will detain him in the Ministry of Justice and interrogate him personally."

"it is good."

After the two parted, Chu Heng strode to the study, lifted the curtain, and saw Xie Chaochao lighting an oil lamp and writing something on paper with a brush.

The candlelight shone on her body, casting a faint layer of orange light. She was wearing a simple green dress, and her hair was casually gathered up with a wooden hairpin. She had a slender figure, elegant like a lotus, and beautiful like a fairy.

Before I knew it, the dilapidated old temple from my childhood appeared before my eyes.

The chubby girl was covered in wounds, but she still broke the bun in her hand and gave it to him in half, saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Eat a bite of the bun and the pain will go away!"

At that time, she was so scared that she kept crying.

But compared to his fear, he seemed more important.

"Little General."

Pei'er's call pulled Chu Heng back from a distance. Xie Chaochao had already looked up and saw him coming back. He stood up and put away the writing brush on the table. "Lord Liu has many good books in his study. I copied them twice after reading them. Did those people ask clearly?"

Chu Heng walked over and shook his head regretfully, "No, my mouth is tight."

Seeing Xie Chaochao remained silent, Chu Heng changed the subject, "I'm so ashamed to have kept Madam waiting for so long. Are you hungry? Let's go home."

The two of them left the Dali Temple together and got on a carriage.

Xie Chaochao felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning on one side.

Chu Heng looked at her profile, with longing gradually spreading in his eyes. He raised his hand, wanting to touch her face, but stopped at the last step and patiently let go.

If you act too hastily, you'll scare her away.

……

The two did not reply, and Mrs. Chu ordered General Chu not to come to the table.

Finally, we waited until the meal started.

Liu Fengling was so hungry that she couldn't help but complain in a low voice, but also with a hint of playfulness, "Cousin, you guys are finally back. If you were a few seconds later, I would have become a mummy."

Ever since the last incident, everyone was confused by what she said.

I didn't understand and was too lazy to ask, so I just assumed that she was hit hard.

To make up for it, I let her say something that I couldn't understand.

"I have some things to take care of. You are a guest, so you can eat first if you are hungry."

Chu Heng helped Xie Chaochao set the table.

Liu Fengling held her lips and said, "If you didn't reply, who would have the nerve to eat? I've been waiting for my cousin for so long, but you didn't take care of me."

Chu Heng's words showed no emotion. "If that's the case, you should thank your cousin's wife. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't even have a meal tonight."

Hearing that it was about Xie Chaochao, Madam Chu asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Once the conversation started, Chu Heng told everything that happened today, just like introducing a treasure, especially Xie Chaochao's words that hinted at the location of the spy.

For a moment, the dining table was filled with joy.

Mrs. Chu was even more concerned and put all the fish and meat towards Xie Chaochao. The more she saw that the child was so thin and his bones were protruding, the more distressed she felt. She turned around and glared at the big General Chu.

"I said, Chao Chao is better than Xie Yue'er."

"You are like a lucky star. You risked your life to save Heng'er on the first day, and today you revealed the location of the spy. Our whole family should thank Chao Chao. Otherwise, if the emperor blames you, you will pay with your head."

General Chu had been used to going hungry during his battles on the battlefield. At the moment, he felt aggrieved and angry, but he did not dare to show it and just endured it.

"Yes, ma'am, you are right."

Xie Chaochao looked gentle. She had never thought that the long-lost love and care would be received from the unfamiliar Chu family.

Looking at the happy family of four, Liu Fengling felt depressed.

She has only been married for one day! The whole family is speaking in her favor! If it were any longer, wouldn't she be in heaven?

No, she had to speed up the process of getting them to reconcile.

I must not let her gain a firm foothold in my position. I must play a role for Chu Heng and let them know that I am indispensable.

"How did the interrogation go?" General Chu asked while eating.

Chu Heng told the story again with regret.

"Really? I didn't realize that the people at the border are so tough."
