Chapter 327: Knowing that he was not dead, he hated Haisheng
With Shen Yue’s attitude, it would be a lie for Huang Lijin to say she didn’t feel aggrieved.
All her pride, the high spirits that came from being respected and appreciated by everyone along the way, instantly collapsed when she saw that her beloved no longer had eyes for her. Although she was rewarded and successfully achieved her initial goal and became his subordinate, Huang Lijin was not happy, let alone satisfied.
He was not nice to her, ignored her, and dismissed her at will. It was okay. She would endure it. Huang Lijin would never admit defeat!
Huang Lijin straightened her back and stepped out of the study. She felt that the people around her were looking at her with mockery. She could even imagine how the two women behind him were laughing at her.
But so what? She would never admit defeat, nor would she feel inferior to others. Even if she was casually sent away, she would hold her head high.
Huang Lijin tried hard to comfort herself and was taken away by the messenger. Just after she left the yard, she saw a familiar figure hurriedly walking towards them from a distance. When they passed by the figure, Huang Lijin, who was following the messenger, couldn't help but slow down her pace.
That is……
Isn't this the man Xu Miao Niang asked me to find? No, no, no! To be exact, this man is the real substitute that I found according to Xu Miao Niang's description to lure the tomboy into being fooled!
Thinking of this person's identity, Huang Lijin, who was about to leave, suddenly hugged her stomach and cried out.
Although the messenger had no family trapped in the south, his boss had a wife and children who were trapped. This time, thanks to the man in front of him, his boss was able to reunite with his wife and family. Moreover, like their boss, the families of many of his brothers also received help from the man in front of him.
The messenger was grateful to Huang Lijin. Moreover, he didn't know his master's attitude towards her in the study just now. So he naturally showed some kindness to Huang Lijin and couldn't help showing concern.
"Miss Huang, what are you doing?"
Huang Lijin held her belly with an embarrassed look on her face: "Excuse me, young man, I don't know where I can change my clothes."
"Change clothes? Oh, change clothes!" The messenger was embarrassed when he heard that, but he didn't say much and hurriedly took Huang Lijin there.
Huang Lijin did not move, but said shyly with an embarrassed look: "Haha, there are differences between men and women, please show me the way, I, I will go by myself."
The messenger officer finally came to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking to himself that his master was the same. He already had a concubine, but no maid to serve him. He must be very embarrassed to have encountered such a thing.
Seeing Huang Lijin's earnest look, the burly man blushed first, and without thinking much, he pointed to a row of houses not far away on the side of the courtyard, "That's Miss Huang's side, please come in."
Seeing Cheng Su about to step into the study, Huang Lijin held her stomach and groaned in response. She took two steps, then remembered something and hurriedly nodded to the messenger: "Young man, please stay away. I, I'm sorry..."
The messenger was so embarrassed that he had no time to hide. He nodded repeatedly and pointed to the archway with hanging flowers in front and said, "Go quickly, young lady. I'll be waiting in front. Don't worry, I won't go in."
Huang Lijin was secretly satisfied to see that the man was so honest. She bowed quickly to the messenger and turned away.
Poor this honest man, he just stood there obediently at the archway with hanging flowers not far away. To avoid embarrassment and shyness, he didn't dare to look back. Instead, Huang Lijin found an opportunity. While the messenger had his back to her, Huang Lijin found an opportunity and slipped back to the yard behind her. She also took advantage of the fact that there was no one walking around in the study room, so she went to the side of the study room and squatted down in a corner where she could hear the voices of people inside the open study room even though her back was turned away.
In the study, Cheng Su handed the letter to Shen Yue as soon as he saw him, and said straight to the point, "General, something happened to my family, I have to go to the south."
Shen Yue was having a headache, knowing that once the matter was exposed, his Uncle Cheng would surely not be able to resist and would go to the south, so he had selfishly not transferred him back.
Unexpectedly, those remnant soldiers and bandits were really hard to defeat, which made him return early. But what should he do now? Should he go?
No, you can't!
He couldn't lose Yaoguang and then fail to take good care of her most beloved relatives.
Shen Yue had a headache and pinched his forehead weakly. He didn't even have time to read the contents of the letter that was handed to him. He could only comfort her with kind words.
"Uncle Cheng, don't be impulsive. I have already sent people to the south. I am more anxious than you are. I don't want anything to happen to Yaoguang and the others. Don't worry, I will notify you as soon as I have any news about Yaoguang and the others."
"Hey, General, what did you say?" Cheng Su slapped his thigh anxiously and pointed at the letter in Shen Yue's hand.
"General, my sister Guang has sent me a letter. She and her mother are all fine. They left Xinjing and are hiding for the time being. But you see, the letter said that the tyrant emperor has issued a warrant to arrest them. How can I feel at ease? They are alone and helpless, and they are all women with children. I am really worried! General, please let me go and pick them up in person. Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. At most, I can use all my military merits to make up for it, right?"
Shen Yue was stunned. What military merits or no military merits? All he could think about was the letter from Yao Guang. He hid himself!
He excitedly grabbed the letter in his hand and quickly read ten lines. As he read, Shen Yue suddenly smiled. When he looked at the date on it, his heart finally settled down.
As long as she is safe, that's all!
Just let Uncle Cheng pick it up? That won’t work!
Shen Yue shook the letter in his hand with a rare ease and a smile on his face.
"Uncle Cheng, I'll send a message right away. Don't worry. Yingyi brought a thousand good fighters with him, and Lu Fang, who you are familiar with, is also operating in secret. They must be in Xinjing right now. Instead of asking you to travel thousands of miles to pick them up, why don't I send a message to them and ask them to bring Yaoguang and Auntie here safely, okay?"
"This one……"
"Uncle Cheng, you can't trust others, but Lu Fang and Ying Yi, one is your trusted nephew, and the other is your comrade who fought alongside you on the battlefield. How can you not trust them? Don't worry, I will let them bring the people back safely, I promise!"
When Cheng Su heard this, he was surprised at first, thinking, has this kid Lu Fang come here too?
Thinking of what his sister Guang had mentioned in her previous letter about the Cheng'en Mansion, he felt sorry for Lu Fang and the Lu family.
However, he still trusted Lu Fang. When he first established the New Sea Pavilion, he had seen the boy's abilities with his own eyes, so he was reassured. He nodded reluctantly, but he did not forget to give him some instructions beforehand.
"Okay, General, I'll listen to you. Now, immediately, hurry up and write a letter to them, asking them to bring my family back safely. I will definitely thank them handsomely later."
"Okay, okay, I'll write the letter right away and have the fastest scout deliver it later." After appeasing this elder who would be as important as his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, Shen Yue obediently picked up the pen and wrote the letter immediately.
However, they didn't expect that the Lu Fang and Ying Yi they were talking about had already crossed the Zhuo River with their families and headed straight for Kyoto to notify them to pick them up. Not to mention the effort and delay involved, just at the moment, Huang Lijin, who was secretly thinking about it, turned pale and trembled all over after hearing the conversation between the two. She was so angry.
My heart, my eyes, my mind were filled with the thought that the man was not dead! That damn tomboy was not dead!
Xu Miao Niang, damn it, this bitch Xu Miao Niang actually lied to her!!!
