Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Hearing Cheng Jie's words, Xu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Cheng Jie, you are so silly and cute. Do you think everything will be fine if you put the blame on me?"

"A noble lady from a high family values ​​innocence. If the Song family knew that Miss Song was like this, I estimate that everyone present today would not be able to escape, right?"

Xu Yuan looked at them one by one, and finally stopped at Cheng Tiankun: "Especially you."

That gaze was like the cold tongue of a snake, and Cheng Tiankun couldn't help but shiver.

Cheng Jie was immediately dissatisfied: "Xuyuan, stop scaring me, I, Cheng Jie, was not brought up to be scared!"

"That's enough." Cheng Tiankun looked at Cheng Jie and said in a serious tone, "Get out!"

Even though Cheng Tiankun really didn't want to agree with Xu Yuan's words, he understood that what Xu Yuan said was true.

He was the one who received the secret order.

Song Xiujing's innocence was gone, and he was the first one to be held accountable.

Secondly, only Cheng Jie thought that the twists and turns involved could fool the people above him, but in fact, everyone knew that Xu Yuan was just a scapegoat.

After all, the Cheng family will be the ones to suffer in the end.

If the Song family wants to crush the Cheng family, it is as easy as crushing an ant.

"Dad!" Cheng Jie stamped his feet in anger: "Don't listen to that kid..."

"Shut up, me."

Cheng Tiankun slapped Cheng Jie on the head, furious: "Get out."

I had originally thought that I would make the matter a fait accompli, but now, I have ended up putting myself on the fire.

Cheng Tiankun frowned and turned to look at Xu Yuan: "I wonder what Young Master Xu has to say?"

From making a wish to Young Master Yu.

Cheng Tiankun's attitude changed 180 degrees.

"Actually, it's very simple."

Xu Yuan glanced at Cheng Jie and smiled faintly: "Let Cheng Jie go out first."

Cheng Jie sneered when he heard this, "Haha..."

"You haven't heard me yet, get out of here!" Cheng Tiankun glanced at Cheng Jie who was trying to speak next to him, and kicked him.

Cheng Jie was about to say something, but when he saw Cheng Tiankun was about to kick him again, he quickly crawled out.

The servant closed the door.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan spoke up, "After all, Miss Song was not actually hurt. Master Cheng, I think if you ask Cheng Jie to sincerely apologize to Miss Song and take good care of her before the Song family servants arrive, this matter may be forgiven."

Tianqi values ​​a woman's reputation the most, and Xu Yuan doesn't want to make a big deal out of this matter.

It is already difficult for a concubine's daughter to survive in a wealthy family. If her innocence were to be known to be tarnished, Song Xiujing would probably never be able to hold her head up in her life.

Although, she could use this incident to bring down the Cheng family, but thinking of Song Xiujing's tearful face, Xu Yuan felt a little reluctant.

"But is Miss Song willing?" Cheng Tiankun rubbed his hands, trembling with fear.

Kill Song Xiujing?

He dare not.

If we keep Song Xiujing, who knows if she will come back to deal with the Cheng family after she goes to the capital?

Cheng Tiankun felt so old and angry that he wanted to slap himself twice.

I don't know who gave him the courage to make a fait accompli. Now, not only did he fail, but he also put himself on the fire.

"I can persuade her, but Master Cheng has to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Let Cheng Jie leave the school."

"No problem!" Cheng Tiankun agreed without even thinking about it.

First of all, Cheng Jie is a troublemaker. He goes to the private school but works for three days and rests for two days. He can't concentrate on learning. Every extra day he stays in the school means he offends one more person.

Secondly, if Cheng Jie came to his senses and was ready to study hard, it would not be difficult for the Cheng family to hire a teacher given their financial resources.

Thirdly, the Cheng family came from a merchant family, and Cheng Jie would never be able to become an official in his lifetime. Moreover, even if he made a wish not to mention this matter, Cheng Tiankun did not intend to let Cheng Jie continue to live in the private school.

In this world, only those who hold military power can survive.

Cheng Tiankun agreed readily, and Xu Yuan also said neatly: "In that case, please ask Master Cheng to wait outside the door as well."

Hearing this, Cheng Tiankun hurriedly retreated.

Xu Yuan didn't say anything in a hurry. He went to the door to make sure that everyone in the Cheng family had gone far away before he gently pulled open the bed curtain.

Song Xiujing changed her clothes, but even so, she couldn't hide the marks on her neck.

Xu Yuan sighed and did not go over directly. Instead, he said, "Miss Song should have heard what we just said, right?"

Xu Yuan never thought that meeting Song Xiujing would be like this.

She also didn't know whether Song Xiujing had also been raped by Cheng Jie in her previous life, and she didn't know how Song Xiujing managed to hold on until the Song family came to pick her up to go to the capital.

Song Xiujing raised her head, glanced at Xu Yuan timidly, nodded, and said softly: "I think I have seen you before."

"Indeed, I have seen you. The day you entered Sishui County, I got on your carriage by mistake, and then Cheng Jie threw me into the cold lake. I almost lost my life."

Xu Yuan finished his words lightly, and then continued: "After I survived, I told myself that nothing in this life is more important than being alive."

“But my life is ruined.”

Song Xiujing raised her head, tears streaming down her fair face, and her voice became fragmented as she said, "It was ruined by that beast."

“The phoenix rises from the ashes in the fire. Your life begins anew from this moment on.”

"I am a concubine's daughter..." Song Xiujing stopped talking halfway and said with self-mockery, "Why am I telling you this?"

"Who says that concubines have to be humble and submissive all their lives?"

Xu Yuan sat on the bedside, and seeing that Song Xiujing did not resist, he continued, "How many people were sent to the countryside, and endured their whole lives without a chance to make a breakthrough. You are about to return to the capital, so why complain about yourself?"

"Miss Song, I know you won't tell anyone about what happened today, but you have to let it go. If you want to be a big tree, don't fight with the grass. A general has a sword, but he doesn't cut the grass flies. You can't be carried away by those emotions."

After hearing the words of the wish, Song Xiujing felt as if her painful heart was torn open and light shone in from it.

But she didn't know whether it was salvation or a deeper abyss.

Seeing that Song Xiujing didn't say anything, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and finally said, "They are afraid of you today because your last name is Song. When you go to the capital in the future, there will be more shameless people than them. By then, you can only rely on yourself."

"Cheng Jie will not go to the private school anymore. You can learn more before going to the capital. It will definitely be beneficial. Besides, I promise you that the Cheng family will be destroyed."

Song Xiujing looked up blankly after hearing this, "Really?"

"a man of his words."

After hesitating for only a moment, Song Xiujing said, "I believe you."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan picked up the bag next to him, put it on his back, and got up to go out.

The moment the door opened, Cheng Tiankun was rubbing his hands and stamping his feet, extremely anxious.

Xu Yuan stopped and said, "Master Cheng can rest assured now."

"Thank you, Master Xu."

Cheng Tiankun took a look inside the room and said flatteringly, "How about I arrange a carriage to take you away?"

"No need." Xu Yuan shook his head.

She still has to go to the private school, otherwise Zhang Yue will become suspicious.

"That……"

"Wait a moment."

Hearing that Xu Yuan seemed to be leaving, Song Xiujing ran out of the room barefoot, held the door sill and asked, "Mr. Xu, can I go with you?"

Song Xiujing took a breath and explained, "What I mean is that I don't want to live in the Cheng family before someone from the Song family comes. If you are worried, I can recognize your parents as my adoptive parents."
