First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Xie Yingfeng's words left Qu Wanning completely stunned.

He had seen me before, so why did I have no impression of me?

Seeing her looking at him in such surprise, Xie Yingfeng knew that he had never left any trace in her heart.

Yes, when they were in Dongdu, she was a noble lady and a palace concubine, and he was just a poor student from a poor family who couldn't even afford to stay in an inn. But with just a glance, she took root in his heart.

Xie Yingfeng laughed at himself, stepped back again, and bowed deeply to Qu Wanning. "It is Xie who is rude, but Miss Qu has been unable to escape the path of marriage ordered by the emperor since she came to Mangcheng. This marriage was forced by Xie, and has nothing to do with General Wei and Miss Su. If Miss Qu is angry, just be angry with me, and don't vent your anger on others. Don't ruin the sisterhood between Miss Su and you because of my behavior. Xie knows that I am not worthy of you, so I will resign on my own. From now on, I still have to pretend a little in front of others. After all, I can't disobey the emperor's order. After a few years, when no one cares about this matter anymore, Xie will naturally give Miss Qu an explanation."

After saying that, Xie Yingfeng stepped back and left the bridal chamber, leaving Qu Wanning alone in the room.

Qu Wanning was stunned for a long while before he fell down and sat down on the edge of the bed.

She looked around, and all she saw was red.

Even the red wedding character hanging in the room had an elegant and timeless font, and it was obvious that it was written by Xie Yingfeng.

There was not a single room in the house that was not carefully decorated. Even the dressing table was filled with all kinds of rouge and powder. There were several kinds of mirrors, both big and small, and all kinds of jewelry.

The kettle and cups on the table are all Ru porcelain. Both the shape and color are his favorites, so did Xie Yingfeng specifically ask his father and brother about this?

If you look closely, everything in this house is arranged according to my own preferences...

If I say that Xie Yingfeng was forced to marry me, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable...

So what Xie Yingfeng said is true?

Is he pleased with himself?

This realization made Qu Wanning very confused.

Her heart was like a floating duckweed, with no one to rely on, and she was completely at a loss.

Maybe she was really wrong?

Qu Wanning didn’t know, she just sat alone in her new house in a daze.

Xie Yingfeng felt sad and suffocated in his heart. After leaving Qu Wanning's place, he didn't know where to go.

She wanted to go to Wei Ling to complain, but then she remembered that today was Wei Ling's wedding night, and it would be unreasonable for her to go to him rashly.

Xie Yingfeng was wandering around like a headless fly and unknowingly returned to the military camp.

"Hey, military advisor, isn't today a wedding?" A patrolling soldier passed by and looked at Xie Yingfeng, who was wearing wedding clothes and walking towards the camp with his head down, and couldn't help but ask jokingly.

"Yes, could it be that the military advisor was chased out by the bride?" someone started to make a fuss.

“Get lost!” Xie Yingfeng could only cheer himself up, forcing out a smile as he cursed, “You little bastards, this military advisor suddenly remembered that there are important matters that need to be dealt with, so I came back once. You know nothing. Just go on patrol!”

After being scolded by Xie Yingfeng, the patrolling soldiers hurried away.

Xie Yingfeng let out a long sigh and returned to his tent a little dejected.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw the secret code set by him and Wei Ling.

Xie Yingfeng was startled and quickly opened the secret compartment.

He and Wei Ling had an agreement that if one of them had an urgent matter and was not convenient to tell the other, they would leave a secret code. As long as they saw the secret code, they would take out the letter from the secret compartment and know the other party's request and whereabouts.

After reading the letter left by Wei Ling, Xie Yingfeng stomped his feet fiercely a few times. This guy really doesn't want to die!

Leaving the camp without permission is already a serious crime. If he really does what he wrote in the letter, it would be adding insult to injury.

If he gets caught, Wei Ling will have enough heads chopped off!

Angry and anxious, Xie Yingfeng read the letter carefully again. Wei Ling said that he would be back in twelve days at the latest.

On the twelfth day, the commander will leave on the twelfth day. How can he, as the military advisor, handle this?

Fortunately, today is the day of the wedding, and starting from tomorrow, all soldiers who are getting married will have five days off. So the first five days are easy, but what about the remaining seven days?

Xie Yingfeng paced back and forth holding the letter, and then he suddenly thought of what Wei Ling had explained to Su Jixiang?

Does Su Jixiang know about this matter?

If Su Jixiang knew about this, perhaps this matter would be easier to handle.

Therefore, the best plan for now is to wait until early tomorrow morning to test Su Jixiang's attitude.

Xie Yingfeng burned the letter, tidied up his barracks, and then left quickly.

Although the Black Tiger Army are all their own people, it is hard to say whether the officers and soldiers who stayed behind have become alienated from Wei Ling.

After all, Wei Ling only brought more than 10,000 people with him when he left Mangcheng, and he left some of them to defend Mangcheng.

After many years, Wei Ling returned to Mangcheng with an army of 110,000. If as long as a few dozen of those 10,000 people were dissatisfied, the matter would be difficult to handle!

Besides, are all the hundreds of thousands of people brought back by Wei Ling of the same mind as Wei Ling?

The next day, the military camp resumed daily drills early in the morning.

Although the married soldiers are not here, it does not affect the training of others.

However, the only people on duty now are a few old generals, Chu Feng, Chen Hai and others.

As for Mangcheng, yesterday's joy continued.

Wei Ling gave all the married soldiers five days of rest. On the second day after their wedding night, many young couples dressed up beautifully and went out on the street.

It’s almost the end of the year, and it’s time to start preparing for the New Year at home.

After all, this is the first New Year after marriage, and everyone hopes to celebrate it better and more grandly.

Xie Yingfeng went to the gate of Wei Ling's house early in the morning.

He asked someone to go in and pass the message, and soon he was let in by the servants.

After the tea and snacks were served, Su Jixiang came over from the backyard.

"Hello, sir." Su Jixiang bowed to Xie Yingfeng.

Xie Yingfeng stood up quickly, "Hello, Madam Wei. I'm here to see General Wei."

"The general went out hunting before dawn." Su Jixiang lied without even thinking. "The general took pity on me because I didn't have many good clothes, so he wanted to hunt a white fox and make a cloak. The general said he would be in the mountains for the next few days. Thank you, sir, for making fun of me. The general is really very good to me." After she finished speaking, she smiled shyly.

Thanks Yingfeng...

As expected, he came from the palace. His lies were really flawless. If he hadn't known where Wei Ling was going beforehand, Xie Yingfeng felt that he had really been fooled by Su Jixiang.
