The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Wang Shan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and knelt down in front of Xie Lin: "I have said too much, please forgive me, Third Master."

After a few moments of silence, Xie Lin spoke again: "Where is Lord Wen now, and what is he busy with?"

Wangshan immediately understood. Although his master did not make any comments about the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, he had chosen to give up waiting for news from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and instead seek help from Lord Wen Tingshen.

Wangshan quickly got news about Wen Tingshen from the spies and came back to inform Xie Lin.

"Someone reported that the Xinwu prefect had committed a crime, so Lord Wen went to investigate. He set out overnight, and I'm afraid he has already arrived in Xinwu."

Xie Lin thought that Concubine Xie had already sent Hong Qi to her side, and he didn't have much time left.

And the people who want to deal with him are not just Xie Guiren.

He immediately said: "Prepare the carriage, we are going to Xinwu."

The next morning, at daybreak, Xie Lin had already arrived in Xinwu City. The carriage stopped outside the inn where Wen Tingshen was staying. He took Wangshan and went forward to knock on the door.

Wen Tingshen was very surprised to see Xie Lin come to him on his own initiative.

He was even more surprised that Xie Lin had found Xin Wucheng, and quickly welcomed him into the room.

Many years ago, a minister was corrupt and accepted bribes, causing the deaths of many people. Wen Tingshen had been looking for evidence for a long time but to no avail. It was Xie Lin who gave him the key evidence, and that’s how the two met.

He promised Xie Lin at that time that he owed Xie Lin a favor.

But Wen Tingshen had already repaid this favor when Xie Lin came to the palace to ask for a meeting last time.

Now the two owe each other nothing.

However, Wen Tingshen admired Xie Lin very much. He thought that Xie Lin was a rare talent as he was young, frail, and yet was able to keep such a large family fortune after his father's death.

Moreover, Xie Lin defeated the Third Prince and his wife last time, so he is a capable man.

Wen Tingshen likes anyone who is smart, capable and kind.

So he took the initiative to ask Xie Lin: "I wonder why Third Master Xie came all the way here?"

Xie Lin, who was originally sitting on a stool, immediately stood up and bowed to Wen Tingshen: "Xie Lin does have something to ask for."

"Thank you, Third Master. You can say whatever you want."

The two sat down again, Wen Tingshen ordered a pot of tea, and the two talked while drinking tea.

Xie Lin said: "Since my father and eldest brother passed away, there has been no capable person in the Xie family. My only nephew who is an official has been sent to another place, and I don't know when he can return home.

"Now the Xie family is rich and powerful, and as the saying goes, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Xie Lin often feels that he is in danger, not to protect the family wealth, but to protect his family and his own life.

“In addition, the court is short of talent. Every time the north, south, and west are harassed by the enemy, there is always no capable person to lead the troops to fight, which really makes people panic.

"In the court, the prime minister and the imperial tutor are in control of the government... The people have suffered from this for a long time. Xie Lin is a humble man, but he wants to learn from Master Wen. He hopes to contribute to Daqi in the future and protect his family and himself."

Wen Tingshen admired his honesty and asked, "You want to serve as an official in the court. Do you need my help in recommending you?"

"Xie Lin does have such an idea. I wonder if Lord Wen thinks Xie Lin is ok with it?" Xie Lin asked.

Wen Tingshen smiled and said, "If I hadn't thought about you taking care of such a large family business and your frail health, which made it unsuitable for you to work too hard, I would have recommended you to the Emperor long ago. You are a rare talent."

He has always admired Xie Lin, who is quiet and reserved, but very careful and decisive in his actions.

It would be great if he could enter the government and break the situation where the prime minister and the grand tutor control the government.

"Thank you, Lord Wen!" Xie Lin stood up and thanked him.

Wen Tingshen quickly helped him up: "But I am in Xinwu City now, and I have important matters to deal with. It will take at least half a month to return to Shengjing City. But don't worry, I will send a memorial to the emperor to recommend you. When I return to Shengjing City, I will bring you to meet the emperor. You should prepare in advance and let the emperor see your talent."

"Xie Lin will definitely live up to Lord Wen's trust." Xie Lin bowed.

Because Wen Tingshen still had things to do, Xie Lin also knew that it was not appropriate to spend too much time with Wen Tingshen at this time, so he got up and said goodbye. After a simple meal in Xinwu City, he got up and returned to Shengjing City.

It was already dusk when we entered the city. The carriage was heading towards Xie's residence. Xie Lin suddenly said, "Wangshan, let's take another route."

Wangshan didn't understand what he meant, so he could only do as he was told.

If they took another route, they would pass by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Seeing the magnificent mansion in front of them, Wangshan couldn't help but look back at Xie Lin.

Xie Lin noticed his gaze, but did not avoid it: "Drive the carriage to the gate of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Wangshan asked, "Third Master, do you want to go in?"

It was already dark. Xie Lin looked from afar and saw lanterns hanging at the gate of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. The red lights illuminated the carved wooden door and the two big lions at the gate. Everything was warm and cozy. Summer was about to come.

On the corridor inside the gate, Chu Heyi, together with his younger brothers and sisters, saw Marquis Shi'an off.

Yes, the person that Runxue recommended to the emperor was Zheng Xiangrong, Marquis of Shi'an. Zheng Xiangrong had military merits and was the prime minister's nephew. He was now the general guarding the South City Pass.

The emperor was very satisfied with her ability, family background and appearance, and thought she was a very good candidate.

So the emperor summoned Marquis Shi'an and said that he wanted to bring him and Chu Heyi together as husband and wife, but he didn't know what Marquis Shi'an thought.

Marquis Shi'an replied that it was his honor and that he was willing to obey the emperor's orders and marry Chu Heyi.

He added, "But Miss Heyi was previously rejected by the Third Prince, and the Third Prince is my cousin. I am afraid that Miss Heyi will get angry with me if she finds out about this. I would like to visit Miss Heyi first and spend some time with her. If she is interested in me, I will ask a matchmaker to come to her house and propose marriage."

The emperor thought it made sense and agreed.

After returning from the palace, Marquis Shi'an has been visiting Marquis Zhenbei's mansion for two consecutive days to "visit" Chu Heyi. Today is the second day.

He specifically chose to come at dinner time, and out of courtesy, the second wife had to keep him for dinner.

Now, after dinner, Chu Heyi took his younger brothers and sisters to see him out of the house - he didn't want to be alone with him.

On the way to see him off, Chu Heyi walked in front of him and said bluntly: "Marquis Shi'an is not only young, but also has outstanding abilities. I admire him very much. But I already have a lover, so I hope Marquis Shi'an can find another beautiful woman."

Zheng Xiangrong smiled and said, "Please forgive my rudeness, Miss Heyi. I am already 28 years old. If you and that young man can get married, I am afraid you would already be engaged.

"But the girl is not engaged at this time, so I think the relationship between the girl and the young man is not very smooth. Since there are obstacles, maybe this relationship is not right.

"Please don't reject me too early, Miss Heyi. Firstly, it is to give you and me a chance, and secondly, it is to avoid offending the emperor."

Zheng Xiangrong glanced at the sky and said, "I am a rough man. If my words made you uncomfortable, I hope you will forgive me. It is getting late now, so I will take my leave and visit you again tomorrow."

Xie Lin, who was sitting in the carriage, looked over and saw Chu Heyi and Marquis Shi'an standing under the eaves and talking for a long time. Marquis Shi'an had already walked away, but Chu Heyi was still standing there watching them leave.

Xie Lin lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."

The carriage moved slowly forward. Xie Lin's hands, which were placed on his knees, slowly clenched into fists. He closed his eyes and began to cough.

He covered his mouth with his hand, and the coughing sound came out from between his fingers.

My physical condition is seriously damaged, so I am not suitable to travel for too long.

After a while, Xie Lin stopped coughing and said coldly: "Wangshan, spread the news that Daqi is in danger. Only with Xie Lin can it be saved!"
