The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Before Wan Lianxing could catch his breath, Xu Shixun from Qiaochun County stood up. Before he could say anything, Wan Lianxing said, "Qiaochun County is peaceful, why are you here to join in the fun?"

"My Lord, I am here to report on the situation in Qiaochun County."

"I know you have done a good job in governing Qiaochun County. Please sit down. We still have a lot of important things to discuss. I will have someone give you the military order you issued last year."

Xu Shixun said: "My Lord, although everything is peaceful there, we still have important matters to report."

Wan Lianxing said: "To make a long story short."

"We grow rice and raise clams in Qiaochun County. We have harvested two crops of rice and a bumper crop of pearls. People are asking me when we will harvest the pearls. Lord, where can we sell the pearls?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You stay at the post station in Fengying for one night. I will tell you when to collect the pearls tomorrow."

Wan Lianxing's official business was not finished until dinner time. All the problems were caused by Zou Sanduo who was asking for money and robbing people everywhere. The war with the Southern Yan Kingdom had only been going on for a month, and Zou Sanduo had already made the people complain bitterly.

Wan Lianxing held a grand banquet in his mansion to entertain all the officials who came to his mansion today. The unfinished official business was brought to the dinner table and continued. In short, it was rumored that Wan Lianxing was not good at government affairs, but he handled all the officials' affairs without omission. No official questioned his decision, and they all admired Wan Lianxing's decisiveness and sharpness.

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed, leaving only a few people who could drink well left at the table, including Wan Lianxing and Ge Dongqing.

Ge Dongqing, who had not been seen for many days, had lost some weight. He could not speak to Wan Lianxing about his innermost feelings when there were many people around. After the guests left, he began to chatter to Wan Lianxing about his innermost feelings.

Wan Lianxing was already exhausted leaning on the chair. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had been traveling for five consecutive days. When he entered Fengying City, he was stopped by Zou Sanduo's men on the street. When he finally arrived at his doorstep, he couldn't get in. Because a group of people and local officials blocked the door of his prefectural government. After sending the people away, he began to receive officials from various counties in Fengying. This might be the time when he could really calm down.

Wan Lianxing narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "My dear brother, if it is a family matter, please tell me tomorrow. I will listen to your detailed story tomorrow." Wan Lianxing's voice was gentle and soothing, as if it could soothe people's hearts.

Hearing this, Ge Dongqing's eyes slightly reddened, and he choked up and said, "Brother, I feel wronged."

When Wan Lianxing saw this, he realized that this man was doing this again. At this moment, he really didn't have the energy to listen to him crying.

"Someone, send Dongqing back to the Ge Mansion." Wan Lianxing waved his hand gently, and several followers immediately stepped forward and respectfully helped Ge Dongqing up.

Ge Dongqing struggled and refused to leave, his eyes full of pleading: "Brother, I will stay with you today."

"I don't need anyone to sleep with me, go away."

Wan Lianxing gave a look, Suiying understood and chuckled, then took two big steps over and walked out carrying Ge Dongqing on his back.

Ge Dongqing, who was lying on Suiying's back, was not being honest. He kept shouting, "Brother, please let me stay for one night. I have a lot to say to you."

Wan Lianxing ignored him. If Ge Dongqing was given a chance to express his true feelings, Wan Lianxing would not need to sleep that night. At this moment, his mind was clear and the whole world was quiet. He could finally go back to rest. This was the first time Wan Lianxing missed his bed so much.

"Master Hou."

Wan Lianxing, who was feeling tired and exhausted, was covering his face and yawning. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice and raised his head in surprise. He saw Zhong Siyu sitting there quietly waiting for him.

"It's already this hour. Why don't you go back to bed and wait for me for something?" Waiting for him in his room at this hour must mean something.

Zhong Siyu said, "The Marquis has been busy with official business since he came back, and Siyu hasn't even said a word to him yet."

Wan Lianxing said: "It's getting late, and I see you look a little tired. Go back to sleep, and we can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."

"I heard from my sister-in-law that your arm was injured. I was worried and came to see you."

Wan Lianxing shook his arms twice and said, "It's okay. It's been fine for a long time."

Zhong Siyu didn't believe it: "My Lord, you must be lying to me."

"What are you lying to?"

"I heard that the Marquis was injured in his right arm. Shake your left arm for me to see. Could it be that the injury to your right arm has not healed yet?"

Wan Lianxing looked down and realized that he was so tired that he had forgotten which arm was injured. "Then I'll shake my right arm for you to see."

Zhong Siyu said, "My Lord, please take off your clothes and let me see."

Wan Lianxing said: "Let's not do that."

Zhong Siyu said, "If the Marquis doesn't let me see how serious the injury is, I won't leave tonight. Anyway, I plan to stay here to take care of the Marquis."

Wan Lianxing shook his head helplessly, "I'm really scared of you. You have to go back to sleep after watching this."

Seeing Zhong Siyu helping him undress, Wan Lianxing felt uncomfortable all over, "Let me do it myself."

At this time, Zhong Siyu said softly: "My mother wrote me a letter."

"Let you go back?"

Zhong Siyu nodded: "My mother's words revealed that the Marquis has made many enemies in the court, and my father is also on the opposite side of you... He has never said a good word about the Marquis in the court."

Wan Lianxing nodded: "I know all this, let him say whatever he wants, don't mind it."

"My Lord, aren't you angry with my father?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Don't be angry. At least your father didn't say the most serious one. Everyone has accused me of a lot of things. I don't need your father alone."

Zhong Siyu stopped talking.

Wan Lianxing asked: "Are you going back to Bianjing?"

Zhong Siyu said, "If I say I want to go back, will the Marquis send a carriage to take me away overnight?"

"If it were in the past, I would, but now you have to think carefully. My reputation is not good, and your reputation is not good either. People's words are scary. Can you still leave the gate of Zhong Mansion when you return to Bianjing? And with your father's personality, will he let you go back like this? Think carefully about whether to go or stay."

"After all this talk, Lord, you didn't mean to keep me. You were just afraid that I would be laughed at when I returned to Bianjing."

Looking at Zhong Siyu with slightly red eyes, Wan Lianxing felt helpless: "Don't cry, if my sister-in-law finds out, she will scold me to death."

"If it weren't for my sister-in-law, you wouldn't even think about marrying me."

"Nonsense, I have to marry you whether you have a sister-in-law or not. You treat me sincerely. I am not blind. I am just afraid that you will live this kind of life with me..."
