After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Shen Junce naturally knew Si Jiu.

It can be said that it was all thanks to Si Jiu that he was transferred here and doing an idle job that only required contact with horses.

When he saw Si Jiu coming, he stood up immediately.

"The Governor."

He saluted respectfully.

Si Jiu nodded slightly and walked straight to Wen Baizhi.

The first thing he looked at was Wen Baizhi's face.

Seeing that her face was probably just flushed due to drinking too much and she didn't have any other discomfort, he felt relieved.

Then he turned and looked at Shen Junce who dared not move.

"You guys drank together?"

Shen Junce nodded stiffly and admitted: "She asked me about some old things, and then she said she wanted to drink. I had no choice but to do so."

"What past do you have with her?" Si Jiu interrupted him.

Shen Junce couldn't help shaking his head: "Yes, yes, yes, my wife and I have never had any past affairs."

Si Jiu's eyes carried an obvious warning: "Some things, just tell me. If they get to other people's ears, no one can protect you."

Shen Junce knelt on the ground and said, "You are right, Lord Governor. Don't worry, I will take some things with me until I die, and I won't let anyone know."

Si Jiu said the last sentence: "I don't care whether you know who she is now or not, but the only thing you need to know is that she is Wen Baizhi, the second young lady of the Wen family, and my wife. Don't think about anything else. Do you understand?"

Shen Junce kowtowed to the ground: "I understand, I understand everything. Back then, I was not satisfied with the management because my commander died in battle, so I was escorted back to the capital to be questioned. It was the governor who helped me and gave me a chance to survive. I will remember the governor's great kindness in my heart."

Si Jiu ignored his gratitude, leaned forward, and carefully held Wen Baizhi in his arms.

Wen Baizhi, who was already dazed, was about to have a fit when being moved like this, but she seemed to smell a familiar scent, rubbed her head comfortably in Si Jiu's arms, and fell asleep again.

Shen Junce followed behind, opened the door, and watched them leave.

After Wen Baizhi left, he was the only one left in the empty house again.

He looked at the two empty wine glasses on the table.

He slumped in the chair, exhausted.

After Si Jiu held Wen Baizhi in his arms, he felt for the first time that he was so close to her.

Ping'an and Cuizhi had been waiting outside, and hurried forward when they saw what was happening.

"Cuizhi, find a cloak to help your young lady cover her face and body."

Cuizhi spread out her cloak and covered Wen Baizhi with it.

Perhaps it was the white hair on the cloak that made Wen Baizhi's nose a little itchy, and she moved her nose unhappily.

"Don't make a fuss. Cover yourself up. It's windy right now and you've drunk some wine. Don't catch a cold or you'll get sick."

Si Jiu spoke softly above her head as if coaxing a child.

Wen Baizhi stopped moving and continued to fall asleep in his arms.

Ping An came forward and asked, "Master Du, this place is still some distance from the tent where you and your wife live. Do you need me to call for a sedan chair?"

Si Jiu shook his head: "I'll just carry her back." He paused, "You have to follow me closely. If I run out of energy and accidentally fall, the first thing you have to do is to ensure the safety of your wife. Do you understand?"

Ping An said: "I know."

Others may not know what Si Jiu feels towards Wen Baizhi, but how could Ping An not know?

So along the way, except for Wen Baizhi who was sleeping unconscious, everyone else was terrified.

Si Jiu had been injured repeatedly these days and his body was seriously damaged, so he was actually unable to hold Wen Baizhi.

But when he saw Wen Baizhi drinking with others, at that moment, he really wanted to prove that he could also treat her like a normal man.

How could I not hold her safely in my arms?

So along the way, he almost fell down several times, but after being supported by Ping An, he stood up and continued walking.

Finally, when the smell of blood in his chest was about to reach his throat, the tent arrived.

He put Wen Baizhi on the couch and asked Cuizhi to come in and take care of her.

Ping'an was guarding outside. As soon as Si Jiu went out, he could no longer bear it. He supported himself with Ping'an's arm, bent over and vomited blood.

Ping An: "Superintendent, please call Doctor Rong over."

Si Jiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth casually: "No need, don't tell anyone about what happened tonight. I have to go to serve His Majesty later. You take care of this place. Tell Cuizhi to take good care of Madam. If there is anything, send someone to find me immediately."

Ping An asked with concern, "Since the governor was so hurt yesterday, can't he not go tonight?"

Si Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "In the past three years, have you ever seen him let me go? He just wanted to vent his anger on me because he was thinking of his old friend. It's okay. I will be back before dawn. You just need to take good care of the lady."

Ping An's eyes were a little moist: "I will take good care of Madam and not let the governor worry."

Si Jiu is extremely relieved about Ping An.

Because Ping An was the person he saved, and he knew him well. If Ping An had not been by his side to serve him over the past three years, he would have been even more miserable.

Before he left, he looked at Wen Baizhi again.

Cuizhi had changed her clothes and wiped her face, and she was sleeping soundly.

He squatted carefully in front of her, and when he saw her hand outside the quilt, he reached out and put her hand inside the quilt.

Perhaps she was frozen by the temperature of his hand, Wen Baizhi frowned in her sleep.

Si Jiu immediately looked at her face nervously, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I knew you would want to look for an old friend, but I didn't expect the first old friend you would look for would be Shen Junce."

"Don't worry, I've saved all the people you met on the battlefield."

"But Wen Bai," he finally called out her name in pain, "Am I not your old friend? Why can't you have pity on me and come and see me?"

"If you hadn't become Wen Baizhi and married me, would I never see you again in this life?"

"It's okay. I'm a useless person anyway. Whether you come to see me or not, I will always be here waiting for you."

"Fortunately you came early, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me."

Wen Baizhi seemed to hear someone whispering something in her ear while she was half asleep and half awake.

But I was so drunk that I couldn't hear clearly.

When I woke up at night, only Cuizhi was guarding me.

She pressed her temple: "What's wrong with me?"

Cuizhi saw her wake up and helped her sit on the pillow: "Miss drank with friends yesterday and drank too much. It was the governor who went to pick her up."

Wen Baizhi seemed to have some impression: "What about Si Jiuren? Isn't this also his tent?"

Cuizhi handed her the hangover soup and said, "It seems that the supervisor has gone out to do something, but he has arranged everything for Miss before he left."

Wen Baizhi took the sobering soup and drank it. It tasted the same as the one she had drunk at the Governor's Mansion before.

"I never thought that I would be so bad at drinking someday."

Cuizhi said innocently: "What are you talking about, young lady? You never drank alcohol before."

Wen Baizhi suddenly stopped talking.

She is Wen Bai. How could Wen Bai be the same as Wen Baizhi?
