Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"Since we are in the vortex, the storm is inevitable."

Chen Shan bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Bei Yao didn't stay for long. After instructing Chen Shan on some things, he turned around and went back.

Maybe it was because it took too long, Xuyuan had fallen asleep when we got back.

Bei Yao tiptoed into the house, lay down with his clothes on, and looked at the darkness in front of him. He lost all desire to sleep.

The snow was getting heavier at night.

The snow on the road was almost up to my calves.

Xu Yuan got up and swept the snow at the door, then went to help Wen Shufang cook. After the meal was ready, he went to call Bei Yao to eat.

Several people had a happy meal together.

Wen Shufang also said: "When you have time in the future, you can come and play again. It's rare for Yuan'er to have a friend, and we will all be happy."

"aunt."

Xu Yuan glanced at Wen Shufang and said, "If he wants to go back, why would he come to this remote place? Aren't you making things difficult for him?"

"I just mentioned it casually." Wen Shufang said, and then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't come. If you get married in the future, it will be difficult to continue to visit."

Xu Wenxian said: "Sister-in-law is right. Everyone has their own path to take. Mr. Shen's path is different from ours."

Beiyao paused for a moment, "Uncle is right."

The meal ended with Xu Wenxian's words.

Beiyao was about to leave, and Zhang Qingyu packed a lot of food for Beiyao. Finally, he handed the knotted silk net to Beiyao and said, "This is the custom here. Bring a silk net to ensure safety. Please bring the one to Yue'er as well."

There are four nets in total.

The one who made a wish was blue, Zhang Yue's was black, Cheng Zhicheng's was red, and the one given to him was white.

The thread used for making the thread is not of good quality, but Beiyao can feel the affection hidden in it.

Perhaps, it is just as the ancients said: "Sew tightly before leaving, fearing that you will return late."

Unfortunately, this is not his mother.

Bei Yao said: "Thank you Aunt Zhang, I like it very much and will definitely wear it all the time."

"Yes, stay safe! I heard you are going to the military camp, so you have to be careful."

Beiyao nodded.

Xu Yuan was leading the horse outside the door. Seeing Bei Yao and Zhang Qingyu talking for a long time, he urged them, "Mr. Shen, you can go now. If it's too late, you may have to stay for lunch."

Hearing Xu Yuan's dismissive tone, Zhang Qingyu lectured him, "Yuan'er, what are you talking about? How can you talk like that?"

"I'm just worried that Mr. Shen won't be able to make it in time for lunch."

After making the wish, he smoothed the horse's fur and tilted his head slightly to hide the reluctance on his face.

When Beiyao said he was leaving, Xu Yuan felt a little sad.

She knew that it was because she was reluctant to leave.

She could never do to Shen Renyao what she did to Shen Yichuan and tell him directly that they would never see each other again.

She was reluctant to let Beiyao leave.

But she also knew, as Xu Wenxian said, everyone has their own path to take.

The person in front of him will help the third prince ascend the throne.

And she wants to redress the Xu family's injustice.

They all have their own things to do, and sooner or later they will become strangers.

After arriving in the capital, you can really go your own way.

"That's true, Mr. Shen, we won't keep you any longer."

Inside the room, several people went out to see them off.

Outside the yard, a man hurried in and said, "Brother Zhang, are you safe? A man has fallen into the river. Everyone is harvesting wheat in the fields right now. Come and help fish him out."

"Someone is missing? Whose family got it?"

Hearing that, Zhang Qingyi immediately grabbed his weapon and ran out to call for help.

"It seems to be the kid from the Cheng family, his name is Cheng Zeyan! Old Cheng fainted from crying by the river. He is the only child in his family, what a pity..."

Because of Cheng Zhicheng, Zhang Qingyi also listened to Cheng Zeyan to some extent.

Zhang Qingyi said: "Let's go quickly, otherwise the water will freeze and we won't be able to rescue this person!"

Zhang Qingyi left in a hurry.

Xuyuan’s gaze was directed towards Beiyao.

Beiyao also looked at Xuyuan.

The two people's eyes met briefly in the air.

Then, Xu Yuan loosened his whip, walked into the house and said, "Master Shen, come in, I remembered that I have something to give you."

Several people looked at Xuyuan together.

Bei Yao raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wen, Uncle Xu, I'll go in for a while."

Bei Yao stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind him.

Xu Yuan turned around and asked, "Shen Renyao, did you do what happened to Cheng Zeyan?"

"No." Bei Yao said indifferently, "Such a person is not worth my effort."

When Xu Yuan asked him to come into the house, Bei Yao guessed that Xu Yuan would tell him that Cheng Zeyan was dead.

But he didn't expect that these were the first words he would say when he made his wish.

She thought he murdered Cheng Zeyan.

"What about your men? What about Chen Shan? Or anyone else?"

"I didn't ask them to kill and make a wish. We've been together for so long. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"You are."

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao with a strange look in his eyes, "Shen Renyao, the man from the Cheng family was captured by General Xie. All the people from Zhuifeng Hall died that night. You are the only person who needs to be silenced in the entire Sishui County. I can't think of anyone else except you."

Bei Yao suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

Xu Yuan added: "I told you that Cheng Zeyan would not complain. You are already safe, why do you want to kill him to silence him? Is this the only way to solve the problem in this world? No matter how bad he is, he still has a father and a mother who raised him with great difficulty. If he dies, that family will be gone!"

"You've already asked me this, what else can I say?"

Bei Yao asked back, with a smile on his lips, and the smile was even a little cold, "You are right, I am such a person, I will do anything to achieve my goal, I burned Geshu's tent to start a war, and I killed people to save my life. Do you regret knowing me?"

Bei Yao finished speaking and turned around and said, "Xu Yuan, you are a little too soft-hearted. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men. I hope that in the future, when you face your brother with blood on his hands, you can teach him a lesson like this. Those who died in battle also had fathers and mothers."

Bei Yao said this without stopping, opened the door and walked out.

Then he left without looking back.

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the open door, then turned around and sat in the chair.

After a long time, Xu Wenxian came in and asked, "Yuan'er, did you have a fight with that Mr. Shen?"

Make a wish and nod.

"why?"

Xu Yuan shook his head, gathered his strength and stood up, saying, "It's nothing, father, I'll go to the river to see if Cheng Zeyan has been fished out."

"Don't look at it. It was found so early in the morning. There's no way it can be saved. It must have fallen into the water last night. You're young, so don't look at these unlucky things."

After Xu Wenxian finished speaking, he stood up and patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder, "Everyone has their own persistence, Yuan'er, you are right, but what Mr. Shen said is not without reason."

Xu Wenxian only heard the last few words. He said, "Yuan'er, in this world, if you give, you will gain. Everyone has a different life to bear. You can't ask a butcher to put down his knife, and you can't persuade an embroiderer to throw away her needle."

"Father, what do you mean by this?"

"Perhaps, that is what he should do. Father doesn't know exactly why, but what I want to tell you is that the young master has clear eyes and is not a bloodthirsty person. You must have wronged him."
