Wenren Chi didn't know that his sister was arranging such an arduous task for him. When he left the s.h.i.+ Army, he became the Left Leader of the City Guardian Army.
It was a high-ranking official, so there were a lot of people finding him.
Especially for matchmaking!
“Brother, Mr. Jin's wife invites you to meet at the Juxian Pavilion.”
Wenren Chi was going on patrol with his subordinates, when a person came to report. Such invitations had been countless recently, which annoyed him.
He looked sullen and said coldly, “You tell her that I still have to go on patrol and have no time to meet her. Please forgive me.”
After that, he brought his people and walked away without looking back.
The subordinate sent by Mrs. Jin was not far away. He heard Wenren Chi's words clearly. When Wenren Chi left, he scolded in a low voice, “My madam invited him with good intentions, but he refused. He really doesn't appreciate what is good!”
The soldiers who spread his words glanced at that man, and also scolded in an angry tone, “What's so great about the wife of an ordinary official? Our boss won't meet her if he says so. If you dare to talk more about it, be careful that I will beat you!”
Although Wenren Chi joined the City Guardian Army, he didn't go alone to tolerate the anger. She Junhe a.s.signed the team he had trained in the s.h.i.+ Army to the City Guardian Army.
No one was dissatisfied with the forces of the s.h.i.+ Army. The Great Leader of the City Guardian Army was the a.s.sistant Minister of Ministry of War, Leng Yuan. He wouldn't have any disagreements, and he also took the initiative to help cover what broke the laws.
Seeing the fierce face of the soldier, the man compared their figures and walked away with fear and disappointment.
A group of people in the back laughed suddenly, and one of the strong men also spit on the ground very disdainfully, “Bah, what a coward! How can he behave affectedly in front of our boss?”
But a short man said with envy, “Xiong, you can't say so. You haven't seen her, but the girl in the Jin Family looks really great. I saw her in the flower market from afar. I almost drooled.”
Xiong Zhuang glanced at the short man with disgust, “Bah! Beautiful, beautiful. You are always wanting those who are beautiful. w.a.n.g Laosan, you'd better restrain yourself. If our boss knows that you still go to the joyhouse when you rest, he will break your leg.”
“Oh my G.o.d. Xiong, don't tell him. Haven't I promised that I won't go?” w.a.n.g Laosan hurriedly covered Xiong Zhuang's mouth, fearing that Wenren Chi would hear them.
Xiong Zhuang hit w.a.n.g Laosan's hands away, “You'd better keep your words! If those in the City Guardian Army look down upon our boss because of you, I won't let you get away from it no matter whether our boss gives the order or not!”
w.a.n.g Laosan shrank his neck and quickly nodded to promise, “I see. I promise! I promise!”
They followed Wenren Chi to patrol the north and the east of the city, and the morning was gone. But after that, Wenren Chi didn't have a rest. He put on the casual clothes and rushed to the House of the s.h.i.+ Family.
“Is he going back to be petty and low again?” Xiong Zhuang looked mad and scolded impatiently.
Tie Niu next to him was not surprised, and whispered, “You usually educate w.a.n.g Laosan. How come you don't restrain yourself? Look what you have said. Our boss is a member of the s.h.i.+ Family anyway. It is normal for him to go back and greet them.”
Xiong Zhuang found that there were only them two in the room and immediately stopped pretending, “A member of the s.h.i.+ Family! If they really regard our boss as a family member, why do they kick him out of the s.h.i.+ Family? He still has to give place to those useless people in the s.h.i.+ Family.”
Tie Niu sighed and warned in a low voice, “General s.h.i.+ treats our boss well. Even though you aren't afraid that you will make General s.h.i.+ disappointed, aren't you afraid to make our boss accused of the crime of being unfilial?”
Xiong Zhuang shut his mouth up with fear and argued, “I'm not saying that General s.h.i.+ is not good. I mean those cowards in the s.h.i.+ Family…”
In the threatening sight of Tie Niu, Xiong Zhuang stopped talking.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Laosan rushed in, “Where is boss? Someone asked to see him, and I let her wait in the living room.”
Xiong Zhuang glared at w.a.n.g Laosan impatiently, “Hasn't our boss said that he won't meet the guests? You can drive her away. Why did you lead her to the living room? Aren't you afraid to waste the tea?”
A clear female voice interrupted him, “Who makes our Brother Xiong so mad? He is even unhappy to offer me a cup of tea!”
Xiong Zhuang heard the voice and felt it familiar, but he couldn't tell it at once.
He pushed w.a.n.g Laosan away. Looking at her, he suddenly became astonished, “Sixth Lady, why are you here?”
The s.h.i.+ Army were loyal to s.h.i.+ Lei, s.h.i.+ Junhe and even Wenren Chi, but had no good impression on the s.h.i.+ Family. Among all the members in the s.h.i.+ Family, maybe only s.h.i.+ Qingxue could gain the respect from the s.h.i.+ Army.
Xiong Zhuang always liked this pet.i.te Sixth Lady of s.h.i.+ Family, who was even smarter and more capable than them. But at this time, he was guilty and his voice was much lower.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't mind it and smiled slightly, “I'm here for Brother Wenren. Where is he?”
Xiong Zhuang and Tie Niu looked at each other and answered honestly, “Our boss went back home.”
“How can this be?” s.h.i.+ Qingxue pouted her mouth unhappily. As soon as she returned from Yecheng County, she came to the camp of the City Guardian Army to find Wenren Chi and wanted to ask him to settle Feng Siniang, but they missed unexpectedly.
She sighed helplessly and asked again, “Brother Xiong, Brother Tie Niu, I heard from my dad that you also came to the City Guardian Army. Have you been used to this life recently?”
Even though they knew that Sixth Lady of the s.h.i.+ Family didn't put on airs in front of them, they were still surprised. Tie Niu hurriedly replied, “Thanks for Sixth Lady's care. Everything is fine.”
s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked around and nodded when she was sure that it was not poor, “What about Brother Wenren? How is he doing lately? I haven't spoken to him for a long time.”
It had been more than two months since Duke s.h.i.+ returned with triumph, but she had few opportunities to meet Wenren Chi, let alone to chat with him.
If it weren't because Wenren Chi was busy, she would think that her brother didn't like her any more and wanted to avoid her.
Xiong Zhuang preemptively answered this time, “Our boss is fine. Sixth Lady, don't worry about it. We are used to the rough life, so everything is fine!”
“Well, then I can rest a.s.sured!” There was a smile on Qingxue's face again.
She was about to speak, when Wenren Chi's soft voice sounded behind her, “Qingxue, why are you here?”
s.h.i.+ Qingxue became joyful when she heard him. She quickly turned around and showed a brilliant smile to Wenren Chi. She walked to him with small steps and grabbed his arm, coquettishly, “Brother, you are finally back. I miss you so much!”
A suspicious blush flashed on Wenren Chi's white face, but soon he suppressed it. No one noticed it. He looked the same as usual and said, “Zhuang, Niu, you may leave first.”
They obediently left.
Wenren Chi closed the door and asked again, “Qingxue, why are you here?”
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was used to Wenren Chi's numb, so she was not mad. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wenren Chi, flattering, “Brother, you just rushed here from home, so you must be thirsty. Drink a cup of tea first!”
Wenren Chi looked up and glanced at s.h.i.+ Qingxue for a while, knowing that she must have something to ask from him once she flattered him. But he still couldn't bear to let Qingxue keep holding the cup. He took the cup and sipped the tea, and then asked the question again.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was surprised by how numb her brother was. She helplessly rolled her eyes and said quickly, “I send Zeng Tai's wife here. You arrange a place for her to live in. It is better to be somewhere no one can find her and she can live a good life.”
Wenren Chi was not a fool. He immediately understood Qingxue's meaning and nodded to promise without any hesitation, “Okay. I know what to do.”
s.h.i.+ Qingxue paused. The prepared utterance was useless. Wasn't it too easy?
“Brother, have you agreed?” She blinked, and was still in disbelief.
Wenren Chi nodded again, “Yes.”
s.h.i.+ Qingxue smiled again, as bright as a peach blossom, which made Wenren Chi stunned. s.h.i.+ Qingxue grabbed his arm again and keep saying sweet words, “Brother, you are so nice. You are my favorite!”
Wenren Chi was very excited. He clenched his fists and restrained himself hard not to hug the girl in front of him.
He looked away, pretending to be calm, “When haven't I done the things you tell me to do?”
It had been like this since she was young. Once s.h.i.+ Qingxue was coquettish, there was nothing that Wenren Chi couldn't promise her.
Well, this situation was getting worse as they grew up. He would promise without hesitation once s.h.i.+ Qingxue mentioned it.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue smiled secretly and suddenly said, “Then I want you to move back to the Jinhua Pavilion. Will you promise me?”
The smile on Wenren Chi's face paused, and excitement in his heart suddenly cooled down, “Why do you mention this all of a sudden?”
“Because if you live here, I can't see you often!” s.h.i.+ Qingxue pouted her mouth unhappily.
s.h.i.+ knew that Wenren Chi had his own considerations for what he did. But she didn't know why she felt that since Wenren Chi joined the City Guardian Army, he had kept the distance with the s.h.i.+ Family and her.
She didn't like this feeling at all.
Wenren Chi avoided s.h.i.+ Qingxue's gaze, he put down the teacup and smiled again, “Haven't you visited the barracks of the City Guardian Army? How about asking Tie Niu to show you around?”
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was astonished. She couldn't believe that Wenren Chi would fool her.
“No!” s.h.i.+ Qingxue never treated her close relatives in a devious way. She pulled Wenren Chi, but he didn't move. So she simply walked to the front of Wenren Chi.
Seeing that he still wanted to look away, she reached out and held Wenren Chi's cheeks to fix his head, so that he could only look at her. She asked seriously, “Brother, are you mad at me?”
Wenren Chi denied without thinking, “No. How can I?”
s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't believe it, “If you were not mad at me, why did you call me Sixth Sister? You have never called me in this strange way!
What did I do wrong that made you angry? Did I embarra.s.s you by letting you take care of Feng Siniang? If you are in trouble, I can…”
Wenren Chi couldn't bear Qingxue's voice that was getting more and more upset. That would make his heart painful.
He couldn't help it any more. He grabbed Qingxue's small hand and held it tightly in his hand. He said firmly, “I'm not angry with you. Never will I.”
Even though he had some complaints in his heart, he wouldn't let this emotion hurt his most beloved baby.
