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

"Is it not good for me to not get married?"

"If I get married, won't you, Song Chunhe, be all alone?"

Lu Shao said with a light laugh.

Although they were joking, they all expressed their attitudes.

Even though Song Chunhe had asked countless times, and Lu Shao had answered countless times, they probably already knew how it would end.

But... Song Chunhe still wanted to ask every time.

"Lu Shao, it's time for you to have your own life."

“I even grew up with you, and I still can’t stand on your side. Those two are such a perfect match.”

Seeing Zhiyun's happiness naturally made Lu Shao happy too, because he knew how difficult her journey had been...

However, Song Chunhe's words still left him somewhat helpless: "If you and I have grown up together like this, then I have nothing more to say."

"I also offer my blessings."

The two of them came here specifically to support Jiang Zhiyun.

Because they did not know Xie Shuheng's battle results or the court's movements, they could only head northwest.

Lu Shao has been staying here recently, silently protecting her, at least ensuring that if the higher-ups' intentions change, they can notify Jiang Zhiyun in time so that she can leave sooner.

However, now Song Chunhe has come... bringing even bigger news.

Therefore, having dinner with Jiang Zhiyun was something that had been arranged in advance.

After the triumphant ceremony, the two headed towards the Freshman Restaurant.

Song Chunhe's expression also looked rather unwell.

Although it was not easy for Xie Shuheng to win over this land in the Northwest.

But this also confirms that they are plotting a rebellion, which means that the emperor will not tolerate it and will not even bother to save face.

Xie Shuheng is in danger, and so is Jiang Zhiyun.

As Zhiyun's friends, they naturally didn't want anything to happen to Xie Shuheng.

Song Chunhe patted Lu Shao on the shoulder: "Let's go, have dinner with Zhiyun tonight."

"Ah."

Lu Shao nodded, and then they followed the crowd away.

Liu Jie, from the Northwest Protectorate, came to greet them. Liu Fangshu and Shen Huichuan stood together, and Liu Fangshu greeted them happily: "Father! Shen Huichuan has returned in triumph!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu tapped her forehead. "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Don't disturb my conversation with Lord Xie."

"Lord Xie, the General's Mansion has been vacated."

"Xiao Su had already left with his family beforehand, without leaving a single word. But it is a fact that the whole family moved away."

"Yes." Xie Shuheng nodded. "Let the Northwest recuperate during this period."

Although Xie Shuheng had done his best to protect the Northwest.

But how could war have no impact?

After the war ends, time is needed for recovery and recuperation.

Xie Shuheng himself also needs more time to rebuild this place, and it won't be easy for a long time.

However, regardless of the court's actions, Xie Shuheng's current military strength is not only capable of resisting external threats but also internal ones.

This is a classic case of someone who controls an army and becomes powerful; even the emperor would have to think twice before acting.

He never expected anyone to understand him; if he wanted a voice, Xie Shuheng had to take this approach.

Liu Jie was very pleased; he had indeed followed the right person.

Fortunately, his daughter was with Shen Huichuan, and Xie Shuheng was a loyal and devoted man. Otherwise, Liu Jie felt that someone like him, who had previously followed Xiao Su, would certainly not be able to take their relationship any further.

They would not gain Xie Shuheng's trust.

The fact that his family has not suffered any damage and that he has even gained Xie Shuheng's trust is already quite an achievement for Liu Jie.

Liu Jie was very satisfied.

I dare not imagine what it would be like to be praised and approved of by my relatives when I go back.

Back then, when he wanted to follow Xie Shuheng, none of his relatives agreed; they all insisted on following Xiao Su to the very end.

If it weren't for Xie Shuheng, there wouldn't be the Northwest we know today.

Liu Jie rose to the top all by his own efforts, becoming the most farsighted person in the Liu family.

All he wants now is to boast about the future.

He can brag about it for the rest of his life, and can even vividly describe his choice as extremely risky, so that his descendants can study it carefully.

Just thinking about this situation has already filled my heart with countless expectations.

He had already envisioned himself as the person who would turn his family's fate around.

Standing here, Liu Jie felt the wind blowing his clothes wildly. Putting everything else aside, he felt that he was definitely going to have a bright future.

Life will definitely get better and better.

With a family history spanning over a century, Liu Jie is very confident about the future.

Liu Fangshu quickly moved closer: "Dad... stop daydreaming. You're the only one standing here grinning like an idiot. You look really silly, you know?"

"..." Liu Jie was speechless. "I was just thinking about something, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"You just want to become a really great person, don't you? Don't think I don't know."

"You just want our family to become a century-old family, don't you?"

"..."

Ahem, Liu Jie decides to keep his thoughts to himself from now on.

Be more reserved; don't let a little girl know what you're thinking.

Otherwise, they would lack any of their own ideas.

Liu Jie went in with everyone else, while Xie Shuheng had originally been pulling Yun Niang along.

But Jiang Zhiyun checked the time and said, "Xie Shuheng, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Xie Shuheng: ?

"Where are you going, my lady? I'll take you there."

"No need, there are so many people here, and you have so many things to do. I'm going to the Freshman Restaurant, Mom and Xia Lan are there, and I also have a lot to do, I have appointments."

Xie Shuheng remembered Lu Shao and Song Chunhe.

I was just about to ask tactfully if it was Lu Shao.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiyun herself said, "It's Lu Shao and Song Chunhe."

“Lu Shao is serving in the Northwest and has taken good care of us. He has helped us solve a lot of troubles and has helped us a lot in silence. In addition, Song Chunhe has also come, so he must have something to say.”

Xie Shuheng was just about to ask if he could come over and join them later?

But before she could ask, Jiang Zhiyun continued:

"Don't come over later. The three of us are having dinner. You wait at home. I'll go back when you're almost done."

"Hmm." Xie Shuheng sighed.

That's it.

Let's do as my wife says.

There was nothing wrong with it originally; she truly didn't have Lu Shao in her heart.

I've always known this principle.

But after Jiang Zhiyun left, it took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea... the time it takes to burn an incense stick... an hour.

Xie Shuheng suddenly stood up.

Liu Jie, along with the county magistrate from the Northwest, the relevant military governor, and the town head who had been protecting everyone during this time, all arrived.
