First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Su Jixiang felt a slight stir in her heart when Wei Ling held her hand. She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to break free, but Wei Ling held her hand too tightly. She could only let him lead her.

"Aren't we going to buy New Year's goods?" Su Jixiang couldn't help asking when he saw Wei Ling leading him out of the market.

"Yes, let's go buy some cloth first." Wei Ling said calmly. "It's the New Year, so I have to buy some new clothes." If he said directly that he was buying it for Su Jixiang, Su Jixiang would probably refuse, so he didn't say it clearly, just saying that it was new clothes and it didn't matter who it was, and Su Jixiang wouldn't refuse.

He just saw that the girl named Bihe was dressed more gorgeously than Su Jixiang, so it was indeed his fault!

He gave Su Jixiang a lot of money and jewelry, but no cloth or clothes.

Su Jixiang never used money, nor did she wear jewelry. She still had to wear clothes, but all she wore were the few sets of half-new clothes she brought from the capital. So in the final analysis, it was because I had not prepared anything for her.

During these days together, he had already seen that Su Jixiang was a person who went along with whatever happened. She had a very good personality and was very emotionally stable. It seemed that nothing could make her particularly angry. Her favorite thing was to cook all kinds of dishes. She was very happy when others ate well. Wei Ling didn't know what else Su Jixiang liked to do besides cooking...

Oh yeah, she loves money too!

She loves saving money!

Su Jixiang was very nice to everyone, so this made Wei Ling feel a little disappointed. Because she was nice to everyone she knew, Wei Ling couldn't tell whether Su Jixiang was particularly nice to him. Perhaps he was just like everyone else in her eyes...

This made Wei Ling a little unhappy.

He wanted to be that special one in her mind.

Jiangnan Cloth Shop is considered the best cloth shop in Mangcheng. After all, it is called Jiangnan Cloth Shop. The owner claims that all their cloths are from Jiangnan, and they only make silk; they do not have cotton cloth.

There's nothing wrong with their stuff except that it's expensive.

The journey from Jiangnan to Mangcheng is long, and the freight alone will cost a lot.

As soon as Wei Ling and Su Jixiang entered the cloth shop, the shopkeeper recognized Wei Ling at a glance.

After all, on the wedding day, it was Wei Ling who rode in front of the procession on a tall horse, and anyone who saw Wei Ling's face could remember it at a glance. Even if Wei Ling was not wearing armor today, the shopkeeper would have recognized him immediately.

"Greetings, General Wei!" The shopkeeper came over to pay his respects. These businessmen were very cunning and knew very well who their potential customers were. On the day of the wedding, he stood on the street and carefully looked at all the military masters who were getting married on the tall horses. These people were able to marry palace maids from the capital, and each of them should be their future customers!

Especially Wei Ling!

Wei Ling nodded.

The shopkeeper came quickly to greet Su Jixiang again, "This must be Madam Wei!" On the wedding day, Su Jixiang was wearing a red veil, and the shopkeeper could not see Su Jixiang's appearance. But as they were newlyweds, Wei Ling was holding Su Jixiang's hand, so who else could he be holding if not Madam Wei?

"Hello, shopkeeper." Su Jixiang also nodded quickly and said with a smile.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was really General Wei who came with his wife, he quickly took out all the fine fabrics in the store and showed them to Su Jixiang.

Wei Ling sat on the chair by the window and waited quietly.

A waiter came to serve tea.

Wei Ling picked up the teacup and held it under his nose for a moment, then frowned slightly and looked at the waiter who was leaving.

When the guy walked to Su Jixiang's side, he suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed it towards Su Jixiang's neck.

Wei Ling's pupils shrank, his eyes focused, and he threw the cup in his hand out as if it were a hidden weapon.

"Be careful!" He warned at the same time, "Su Jixiang!"

With a clang, the cup knocked the dagger that was stabbing at Su Jixiang away. Su Jixiang also reacted. She moved quickly, lowered her head, and quickly grabbed the wrist of the waiter holding the knife.

She had learned to take away a blade with bare hands in the army! It was one of the close combat techniques!

The guy was obviously not a martial artist, and he panicked when his attack failed. After Su Jixiang grabbed his wrist, he felt a sharp pain in his tendons. He couldn't help but screamed, and his hand became weak, and the dagger fell to the ground with a thud.

Wei Ling also came over at this time. He grabbed the guy's neck with his hand and lifted him off the ground.

"Who are you? How dare you try to assassinate me and my wife?" Wei Ling asked coldly.

The shopkeeper on the side was obviously shocked by the sudden change. His legs went limp and he sat down on the ground, shaking all over like a sieve, unable to utter a word.

Su Jixiang was also frightened. She had just focused on looking at the fabric and had listened to the shopkeeper talking endlessly about how good the fabric was. If Wei Ling had not warned her and used the cup to knock away the dagger, her neck would have been stabbed now!

The fellow didn't know any martial arts and looked very young, about fifteen years old. He kept kicking with his legs and trying to hit Wei Ling with his hands, but Wei Ling had already grabbed his neck and lifted him off the ground like a chicken, so his struggle was basically useless.

"You're choking him by the neck and he can't speak!" Su Jixiang picked up the dagger that fell on the ground and said to Wei Ling.

Wei Ling loosened his grip and then pushed the man against the wall. Su Jixiang handed him a dagger. He looked at Su Jixiang, silently took the dagger, and put it across the man's neck.

"You evil thief Wei Ling, you killed my father, I will never forgive you!" The young man finally managed to catch his breath, stared at Wei Ling and cursed, "You bastard! I wish I could eat your flesh, drink your blood, and lick your skin!"

"Wow, you are eloquent. You must have read books!" Su Jixiang said standing aside.

Wei Ling... is this the time to talk about this? But what Su Jixiang said is also right... This is indeed someone who should have read books.

"Who is your father?" Wei Ling asked coldly.

"My father was the former magistrate of Mangcheng! Ye Ruhai! I will always keep my name and surname, Ye Shizhi!" the waiter cursed, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

The original name of Mangcheng was Mangcheng County, and the government office was located in Mangcheng County.

Ye Shizhi... Wei Ling looked carefully at the guy in front of him and seemed to have a little impression of him.

Yes, he was indeed the one who killed the magistrate of Mangcheng at that time. Ye Ruhai was willing to be a running dog and accomplice of the prefect of Mangcheng, and he did all kinds of bad things. Ye Ruhai’s death was not unjust.

"After so many years, you have grown up a lot." Wei Ling snorted coldly. "It's a pity that you have only grown taller, that's all."

He seemed to remember something. That year, he only killed Ye Ruhai and did not touch his family. Instead, he drove his family out of Mangcheng. There seemed to be a boy of about ten years old among those people. The look in his eyes when he looked at him was the same as the boy in front of him.
