First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Su Jixiang was speechless for a moment. Even though she had lived two lifetimes, she seemed a little speechless when facing such a Wei Ling.

Holding the hand, Su Jixiang followed Wei Ling out of the house.

They did not take a car today. The snow had just stopped, the clouds had cleared and the sun was rising. The afternoon winter sun still brought a bit of warmth amid the biting north wind.

Su Jixiang was walking hand in hand with Wei Ling. She had gone out with him before, but at that time he did not hold her hand the whole time and walk side by side with her like he did now.

Although neither of them spoke, they could hear the bustling sounds of the street and the crunching sound of their boots stepping on the new snow, but their hearts were calm and peaceful.

Wei Ling felt especially relieved.

While he was rushing back and forth these days, he was not thinking about the consequences of killing all the spies sent out by Emperor Longchang. Instead, all he was thinking about was Su Jixiang.

He didn't dare delay for a moment on the road. After finishing his business, he ran all the way back just to see his wife.

It seemed that wherever Su Jixiang was, that was the home of his heart.

He has a home again!

His family had been shattered and his family members had died, but this time, God had mercy on him, so he would do everything he could to protect everything he had again.

Passersby on the road cast envious glances at Wei Ling and Su Jixiang.

Wei Ling had been away from Mangcheng for three years, so not many people in Mangcheng knew his true face. Even when he appeared on the streets of Mangcheng, he was mostly wearing dark armor, with a solemn and murderous aura, so not many people dared to look directly at him. Today, he was wearing moon-white clothes, and his whole body was noble and extraordinary, just like a young master from a noble family out for fun. It was really rare to see such a person in Mangcheng.

The woman he was holding was tall. Even though she was covered in a thick fox fur cloak, her graceful outline was still faintly visible. Her face under the hood was even more rare and beautiful. Her eye-catching beauty was accompanied by a temperament that was both cool and gentle. These two completely different temperaments were perfectly combined in this woman, making people unforgettable.

Wei Ling slightly turned sideways to shield Su Jixiang from the gazes of the crowd.

The two went to the largest restaurant in Mangcheng, Zuixianlou.

Wei Ling had already booked a private room here in advance.

Since Su Jixiang wants to open a restaurant, he should try more of the existing restaurants in Mangcheng to see their flavors and dishes. Knowing yourself and your enemy will help you win every battle.

Besides, Wei Ling also felt that it was too tiring for Su Jixiang to prepare meals at home every time, so he also wanted to let Su Jixiang come out and relax.

As the two of them walked into the street where the restaurant was, they heard a quarrel coming from the front.

Su Jixiang had sharp ears and recognized the voice immediately. The slightly sharp voice was obviously Zhao Xiuwan's.

"Li Yuzhu, please don't be ungrateful!" Zhao Xiuwan seemed to have been chased out of a store, and there were already many people gathered around to watch the fun.

She looked a little disheveled, her hair was pulled askew, and her face seemed to have been slapped, so it was a little red and swollen, and there were several finger marks on it.

She was running in front and someone was chasing her from behind. He took two steps at a time and caught up with her and grabbed her sleeve.

Zhao Xiuwan saw Wei Ling and Su Jixiang standing in front of her at a glance, and she felt like she had seen a savior.

"Madam Wei, save me! Li Yuzhu is crazy!" She dragged her sleeves hard and ran towards Su Jixiang. Behind her, the person who was pulling her sleeves tightly and wanted to tear her sleeves off was actually Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu already had a look of anger on her face. After seeing Su Jixiang and Wei Ling right in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately let go of her hand.

As soon as Zhao Xiuwan got rid of Li Yuzhu's pull, she quickly ran to Su Jixiang's side and grabbed her cloak, "Madam Wei, Li Yuzhu has gone insane, ask your general to find someone to arrest her!"

Su Jixiang frowned and tried hard to snatch his cloak back from Zhao Xiuwan's hands, but failed.

She couldn't just push Zhao Xiuwan aside in public. After all, her husband was Qian Feng, and she had to give Qian Feng some face.

"Don't bring your lawsuit to me. You can go to the government office instead." Su Jixiang said calmly.

Li Yuzhu took a deep breath, glared at Zhao Xiuwan fiercely, then gathered her messy hair, walked in front of Su Jixiang and Wei Ling, "Hello, General, hello, Madam!" She bowed.

"In broad daylight, they are pulling and tugging on the street. What a shame!" Wei Ling said unhappily.

He took a look at the Zuixian Tower which was so close at hand and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. If he had known earlier, he should have taken a bus out today!

"I beg the General and his wife to help me!" Li Yuzhu was not afraid when she heard this. Instead, she knelt down in the snow.

This frightened Su Jixiang. She quickly stepped forward and said, "If you have something to say, please get up and tell me. What does this mean?"

"I just want to ask the general and his wife to help me get justice!" Li Yuzhu didn't care about Su Jixiang's intention to help her up, and she knelt down directly, "My husband was arrested for corruption and abuse of power, and I accepted it. My home was sealed off, and now I can't go back home. I don't have any complaints, but this person!" She pointed angrily at Zhao Xiuwan who was hiding behind Su Jixiang, "She promised to do things for me first, and then used me, and now she owes me money and doesn't pay it back! Why? Isn't it because her husband is a favorite of the general? General, you can't be so partial to her!"

Wei Ling's eyes darkened, "Get up and talk!"

It's not that this kind of thing can't be talked about in broad daylight, but there are so many onlookers at the scene, if a rumor spreads, it might be a different version of the rumor!

"If Zhao Xiuwan doesn't pay back the money, and the general and his wife don't stand up for me, I will kneel and die here!" Li Yuzhu is also risking her life!

Her house was sealed off. Although she didn't know what to do with the money inside, it was most likely lost. There was not only Lin Xuwen's money in it, but also her entire fortune!

Now she has no home to return to and can only stay in an inn temporarily, but the money she brought with her is not enough to cover her future expenses.

So she simply came to Zhao Xiuwan, hoping to get the five thousand taels of silver back.

But when Zhao Xiuwan found out that she didn't have the IOU at all, she turned against herself and refused to acknowledge the debt!

That's why there was a scene where she chased and beat Zhao Xiuwan.
