Women dressed as men: powerful officials

the desert

The yellow sand rolled again and again at the border and blew onto the cliffs. The green was completely consumed by wave after wave, leaving only a touch of dead yellow.

In the yard, Zhang Qingyu opened the lid of the medicine stove, poured the medicine into an earth-colored porcelain bowl, then gently pushed open the wooden door and walked into the inner room.

A thin boy was lying on the bed, his face was blue from the cold and his lips were completely bloodless.

No matter how far away you are, you can still feel the biting coolness emanating from her.

Zhang Qingyu stroked Xu Yuan's forehead, and his frown relaxed a little: "Fortunately, the fever is gone."

Hearing this, another woman in the room said, "The fever is gone, but it's hard for Yuaner. Falling into the water in the middle of winter is unbearable for anyone."

"Sister-in-law, I hope my son will have a long life."

After understanding Zhang Qingyu's words, Wen Shufang said "Pooh" three times, slapped her face and said, "Don't let God hear my mouth."

Zhang Qingyu smiled, helped Xu Yuan up, and carefully fed him the medicine one mouthful at a time.

Seeing that the medicine bowl was empty, Wen Shufang said, "No need to think, I know it was the Cheng family kid who did it. If it weren't for the Cheng family's lawlessness in Sishui County, I would definitely go and ask Yuan'er for an explanation."

"Sister-in-law, please don't say this anymore. If others hear it, they will probably make things difficult for Yuan'er." Zhang Qingyu said in a concerned tone.

"We can't just let it go like this." Wen Shufang was unwilling.

"What if we don't care?" Zhang Qingyu forced a smile. "Sister-in-law, you know the situation of our family."

Wen Shufang was silent.

Seeing this, Zhang Qingyu put down the medicine bowl and instructed: "In the next two days, you should keep an eye on Zhang Yue. He has an impulsive temper. If he goes to cause trouble for the kid from the Cheng family, you will have to take care of him tomorrow..."

"Water... water..."

A weak voice came out from the pale lips.

Zhang Qingyu was delighted and quickly put the person on the bed: "Sister-in-law, you take care of Yuan'er. I'll get some hot water to warm Yuan'er up."

The breath in her chest was still being held back, and the sweet liquid slowly flowed from her mouth into her throat.

Xu Yuan took a few muffled breaths, opened his eyes with difficulty, and then he could see the two people in front of him clearly.

My mother is Zhang Qingyu and my aunt is Wen Shufang.

Xu Yuan remembered that on the eve of her exam, she received news that a fire had broken out in her house and her uncle and aunt did not escape and died in the fire.

Zhang Qingyu also suffered from hysteria and jumped into the river in a frenzy. His body was never found...

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Xuyuan's eyes.

The two people in front of her were still as gentle, honest and kind as she remembered. It was like she had just had a dream, and nothing had changed after she woke up.

Xu Yuan closed his eyes and smiled painfully: "It would be better if this dream could last longer."

Hearing Xu Yuan's nonsense, Zhang Qingyu and looked at each other.

After a while, Wen Shufang asked anxiously, "Sister, is Yuan'er...dizzy from the fever? Otherwise, let's call a doctor to take a look while Wenxian is still here."

"But if the doctor knows, then everyone knows, right?" Zhang Qingyu also became nervous because of the wish.

"What should we do, Yuan'er? Can you hear your aunt talking?" Wen Shufang fearfully patted Xu Yuan's cheek, trying to wake him up.

Hot, my hands are hot!

Xuyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was the white bed curtains and piles of books on the shabby desk next to it.

Her hands, her body, and her face are all fine!

An incredible idea emerged in his mind. Xu Yuan lifted the quilt and ran out without caring about his weak legs.

The sky is filled with yellow sand and there are scattered farmhouses, making it quiet and peaceful.

After two steps, Xu Yuan finally ran out of energy and knelt on the sand, tears streaming down her cheeks. But she laughed crazily, and her trembling voice was fierce: "God has eyes!"

Xu Yuan never thought that she would be reborn!

It is true that God has eyes!

"Yuan'er, what are you doing?" Zhang Qingyu chased out and saw Xu Yuan kneeling on the ground, so he quickly covered Xu Yuan with a quilt.

"Nothing, I just feel that it's great to be alive."

Hearing Zhang Qingyu's voice, Xu Yuan reacted instantly, hiding the hatred in his eyes, and pretended to be nothing and asked: "Mom, what's wrong with me again?"

She needs to know what year it is and what stage the situation has reached before she can be prepared to deal with it.

As for why I said "again", it was because she was originally a girl, but was brought up as a boy since she was a child. Over the years, she developed many chronic diseases.

In this world, only Zhang Qingyu and a few others knew her secret. She was afraid that her female identity would be exposed, so she never called a doctor for minor illnesses or pains. She would just bear it if she could, and just endure it if she couldn't.

She had been sick so many times that she couldn't remember which time it was.

"Why else? He was pushed into this by that kid Cheng Jie." Wen Shufang walked out, furious.

"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten what I just said?" Zhang Qingyu glanced at Wen Shufang, and then looked at Xu Yuan with a smile: "Okay, hurry back with mother, you haven't recovered yet."

"Okay." Even though he was filled with hatred, Xu Yuan always looked obedient.

She remembered falling into the water.

She was just fifteen that year and sneaked into the city, but got on the Cheng family's carriage by mistake.

There was a young woman sitting in the carriage. I remember that the woman jokingly said that she was pretty, and Cheng Jie got so angry that he tied her up and threw her into the river.

In the cold winter, she froze in the river for a full hour before being fished out by a passing farmer.

She wanted to report to the police, but her father wouldn't let her.

Xu Yuan could only suppress this thought, but he didn't expect that a few days later, Cheng Jie would come to humiliate him again.

Her stubborn temper came up, and she immediately went to the county magistrate to beat the drum, but was beaten with fifty sticks and had to lie in bed for more than half a year.

Falling into the water was the beginning of her feud with Cheng Jie. To be more precise, it was the beginning of a small quarrel that escalated into a feud until the death.

Thinking of Cheng Jie's arrogant face at the end, and thinking of Cheng Jie's murderous intention to kill her family, Xu Yuan clenched her fists and did not loosen them even though her palms were numb.

This time, she would not give Cheng Jie the chance to go to Beijing.

This time, she would not be the lamb to be slaughtered.

She wanted revenge, she wanted to kill her enemies with her own hands, and she wanted Wei Chen to suffer a fate worse than death!

As Xu Yuan was thinking, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the yard, followed by the arrogant voice of a young man.

"Cheng Jie, how dare you come to my house? Are you looking for a fight?"

Hearing the noise, he thought it was Cheng Jie who came, and was bumped into by Zhang Yue who had just returned. Zhang Qingyu was afraid that there would be a conflict between the few people, so he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you take Yuan'er in, I'll go out and take a look."

"Mother." Xu Yuan grabbed Zhang Qingyu's sleeve and said firmly, "I can handle my own affairs. You and your aunt go into the inner room. My cousin and I will entertain Cheng Jie well."
