After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

"Commander, please, save me."

"I really didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to see what Xie Shuheng was doing. Xie Shuheng injured the Fourth Prince. I wanted to see if Xie Shuheng had any women in his life. It's our duty as the Inspectorate to dare to harm the royal family."

"We could investigate anyone, even the Emperor, without question. Why can't we investigate General Xie? Is there something fishy going on with you, General Xie? Or is someone like you someone who should have died long ago, but you don't?"

As he said these words, one after another, his smile was less attractive than anyone else's.

At first, Xu Ping'an was indeed a little flustered and didn't think of a way to deal with it.

But now... the commander has arrived, giving him the opportunity to act freely.

The commander glanced at him, said nothing, and simply asked, "Does Lord Xie accept this reason?"

Then he looked at Xu Ping'an and said, "Don't try to be clever."

"..."

Xu Pingan always felt that he was on equal footing with Xie Shuheng and the others, and that he was their most powerful and formidable opponent.

But now he realizes that he will never have Jiang Zhiyun's help in this lifetime.

He himself was no longer worthy to speak to Xie Shuheng.

Even the commander had to be subservient to Xie Shuheng. In fact, it was quite obvious that their posture was that of the subservient one.

He wanted to continue down this path and wanted his official career to remain smooth.

I'll just have to put up with it.

Although Xu Ping'an was very unhappy, he had done what he needed to do at this point.

He knelt down directly in front of Xie Shuheng.

"General Xie, please let me go. I really know I was wrong. I will never get close to you and Lady Jiang again."

The commander sighed: "This person must be kept. Both the royal family and we have orders to keep him."

"I know I'm in the wrong."

"You must take it with you today. The only thing I can do for you is to ensure that your family's shop, your family, and everything your woman cares about are safe while you're in the Northwest. How about that?"

“We will stay in the southwest during this time to help protect your family. We can manage that.”

"Okay." Xie Shuheng agreed immediately.

Seeing this, even the commander was stunned: "Are you saying this all along, Xie Shuheng?"

"Ah."

Xie Shuheng didn't want to get entangled with the commander any further, nor did he think the two were acquaintances.

He looked at Xu Ping'an and asked, "Will you be able to get closer to Jiang Zhiyun in the future?"

"No, thank you." Xu Ping'an quickly waved his hand: "This is my wife's younger sister, what could I possibly do?"

"Lord Xie, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just trying to curry favor with you and find some information so I can climb the social ladder later."

Xu Pingan deliberately framed himself as someone who was vain.

He is indeed a vain person.

Xie Shuheng nodded.

"Take it away."

After Commander Xi led Xu Ping'an away.

Jiang Zhiyun emerged from behind the screen, looking at the figure in front of her with some worry.

It is now confirmed that Xu Ping'an has been reborn.

Xie Shuheng also said directly, "Xu Ping'an is not simple."

"I don't know what happened to him, his personality has changed drastically."

"Yunniang, you should keep in touch with him, but it's best to avoid any contact. Who knows what he might do?"

As for Xie Shuheng's feelings for Yunniang, he couldn't control that. In the province, and even in Bianjing City in the future, there would definitely be many men who were in love with Yunniang.

Her looks are already there, and she's only become more stunningly beautiful.

Therefore, all of this is inevitable.

Xie Shuheng hugged her tightly: "With the Commander's words protecting you, I can rest assured."

Jiang Zhiyun casually brushed it off, saying that she was going to sneak off to the Northwest.

I can't tell Xie Shuheng yet.

"Hmm. I'm not worried. You're already capable of protecting me, and I'm also capable on my own."

"Don't be willful. You'll be fine in the Southwest when the time comes."

Xie Shuheng frowned: "As for matters between members of the royal family, you shouldn't get involved. Has the Empress Dowager said anything to you about that?"

"Never?" Jiang Zhiyun shook her head.

Although Xie Shuheng didn't say anything, Jiang Zhiyun sensed that the royal family was already making a move.

That group of people must have fought and killed each other for the throne in their past lives, so it seems their timeline has been brought forward in this life.

If Xie Shuheng can return safely from the Northwest this time, he can go directly to Bianjing.

Jiang Zhiyun must also be prepared.

This was the most dangerous one.

She now knows that nothing can be avoided, so she can only push forward relentlessly.

"Xie Shuheng, take Ye Qi with you."

This time, Xie Shuheng didn't hesitate: "Okay."

Since there is indeed a shortage of manpower, and there are other generals in the Northwest, it would be best if Ye Qi could have an extra helper.

"The grain and fodder I stockpiled before, as well as the grain and fodder I bought at a high price, are all in my house and in the cellars of various households. I can buy all this food and deliver it to you later."

"There won't be any problems."

"It's just too far. The distance between the two places is far, so you must be prepared. Have my people deliver it over in advance."

"Okay." Xie Shuheng ruffled her hair. "Jiang Niangzi has been working so hard to run the shop, and I've spent almost all the money on it. As her husband, you look really haggard."

“That’s not how it’s calculated. My money comes from the people. It’s only right that I use this money to do good deeds for them.”

“You could have ignored the Northwest. I even considered dissuading you from going because it was too dangerous, with both external and internal troubles. I could even guess the danger you would face. But I didn’t say a word.”

Jiang Zhiyun's eyes were already red:

“There are countless people like my cousin who lost their husbands, children, or their entire families because of the war. I can’t let my heartache for my husband lead to the deaths of more people.”

"We have the ability to stand up, and we've stood tall. Our goal is to benefit more people. Our thinking can change gradually in the future, but we must preserve our health."

"Living is so hard... but I hope that I can do my best to help everyone live. My love is the same; your heart is my heart."

As Jiang Zhiyun spoke, she kept wiping away tears with a handkerchief. Xie Shuheng felt sorry for her and immediately pulled her into his arms.

Hold me tighter, even tighter.

His voice was already a little hoarse: "I'm sorry, my wife."

"I also want an ordinary couple."

He even felt a little nostalgic for the days right after he married Jiang Zhiyun.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. We’re husband and wife, and we just need to work together. We were born in a chaotic world, with people everywhere and dead everywhere. My husband is a true man who stands tall and upright. That’s what makes him my man, Jiang Zhiyun.”
