Chapter 459: New Year
When I heard this, I became even angrier.
"What do you mean?" He asked calmly with a gloomy face, "If these firecrackers didn't come from Chen Jiu, then where else could they have come from?"
Madam Feng San's eyes turned cold, with a malicious look in them: "I suspect this matter has something to do with Shen Wan and Xie Mubai."
"Even if it's unrelated, you must not let them go, sir."
"I believe you are also aware that the Third Prince has long wanted to exterminate everyone in the Duke's Mansion."
"As long as we kill them and eliminate this great threat to the Third Prince, your Excellency will surely have no worries about future advancement!"
As the daughter of an official family, she is quite familiar with some things in officialdom.
Which official doesn’t want to have a backer?
Just like her own father, if her family had not married into the Third Prince's family, how could they have escaped unscathed from the Duke of Zhenguo incident?
But Boss Gao is different.
In his early years, he had fought on the battlefield and was considered a man of iron will.
But because he offended someone, he was demoted to Lanyang as a soldier.
When Xie Lian heard this, a thin layer of ice flowers suddenly floated in his turbid eyes.
"If I remember correctly, Shen Wan treated you very well." He smiled coldly, and there was a hint of sarcasm between the lines. "If it weren't for her, you would have died on the road to exile long ago."
He had already heard from other convicts what happened on the road to exile.
I have to admit that if it weren't for Chen Wan, most of these fugitives would not have survived to reach Lanyang City.
Upon hearing this, Madam Feng San immediately argued, "She didn't save me alone, so why should I be grateful to her? Besides, I was only thinking about you, sir!"
Consider for him?
Xie Lian listened and nodded slightly.
Seeing him nod, Mrs. Feng San was delighted.
What's the point of Shen Wan subduing Chu Wei? He's just a mere civil servant.
But Boss Gao is different.
He holds military power.
As long as he wanted, he could even bring down Chu Wei!
"Okay, very good!" Xie Lian's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly raised his voice, "From today on, all the chamber pots in the camp belong to you!"
When Mrs. Feng San heard this, she was so shocked that she didn't recover for a long time.
how so?
Wouldn't it be good for him to kill Shen Wan? Why didn't he agree?
"You don't have to go." Xie Lian's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fierce and terrifying. "Come here, drag this criminal woman away and give her twenty military sticks!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng San turned pale with fright.
"I'll go, right away!" She quickly knelt on the ground and begged desperately, "Master, please calm down!"
Twenty military sticks, that's no joke.
In the camp, the military sticks used for punishment were as thick as a bowl.
After twenty blows of military sticks, even if he doesn't die, he will be half crippled.
Seeing her trembling appearance, Xie Lian snorted coldly and left.
Poor Mrs. Feng San, the first gift she received during the New Year was a mountain of chamber pots!
At this time, the sound of firecrackers in Lanyang City seemed to be louder.
Snow came unexpectedly again.
White snowflakes fell down one after another, as if covering the earth with a beautiful layer of silver.
Xie Mubai hung a sheep-horn lantern at the entrance of the post station, lighting up the alley.
As he was in deep mourning, there were no couplets or blessing characters posted on the door.
But even so, Wang Qi, after taking off his human skin mask, still took the girl to build a snowman at the door.
Shen Wan saw it and quickly took a carrot and stuck it in to act as a nose.
"But snowmen will feel cold too!" The girl said in a baby voice while looking at the cute snowman.
After hearing this, Wang Qi took off the scarf from his neck and tied it around the snowman.
Sure enough, the snowman with the scarf looks more lifelike.
The big girl's mother scolded her: "You dote on her too much!"
"It's such a waste to tie a good scarf on a snowman!"
Wang Qi disagreed: "It's just a scarf, as long as the child is happy."
Seeing the three of them having fun together, Shen Wan quietly approached Xie Mubai and said, "It would be great if they were a family."
She could see that Da Niuniang was not that disgusted with Wang Qi.
That’s right.
Wang Qi is handsome and talented.
As long as you don't talk, there will still be many women who like you.
Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
In fact, he also thought it was a good idea for Wang Qi to marry Da Niuniang, but this might not work out.
Although there was a custom in Wei for a brother-in-law to marry a widow, it was a pity that this happened in the Wang family.
It may not be easy to get Da Niuniang to take this step.
While he was daydreaming, Black Hawk came back walking on the thick snow.
"Have all the things been delivered?" Shen Wan asked hurriedly when she saw him.
Black Hawk nodded.
On New Year's Eve, Xie Lian still had to keep watch in the camp with the soldiers, so it was not convenient for Shen Wan to invite him over.
So she prepared some things and asked Black Hawk to send them over secretly.
Black Hawk is unaware of the true identity of "Boss Gao".
But since Shen Wan asked him to go, he had no choice but to go.
There's nothing I can do about it, since she is the master.
After hearing this, Shen Wan quickly smiled and said, “I’m really sorry to bother you.”
"By the way, I have something for you!"
As she spoke, she took out a green peace locket from her arms.
Black Hawk looked at it and immediately shook his head: "I don't wear these."
He is a rough man, and being able to wash his face is the greatest respect for himself.
As for these decorations, he doesn't need them.
"Xiaoxiao gave it to me." Shen Wan smiled slyly.
When Black Hawk heard this, he quickly took it with both hands.
Seeing his reaction, the smile on Shen Wan's face became even brighter.
"Is...she gave it to you?" Black Hawk suddenly asked, looking at the small peace locket in his hand.
Yes, that must be the case, otherwise why would Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly give me something?
Shen Wan shook her head: “No, this is yours.”
"Mine, the prince, and Ranqiu all have white ones, but yours is green."
"Xiaoxiao specifically reminded me of this in the letter. She was afraid I might have made a mistake."
After hearing this, Black Hawk's lips curled up slightly, and the joy on his face could no longer be concealed.
Although he has them all, he is the most special one.
Could it be that I still have a small place in Ling Xiaoxiao's heart?
Shen Wan did not lie, Ling Xiaoxiao did explain this in the letter.
But she didn't say that she gave Black Eagle a green peace locket because he was dark-skinned and would not look good in a white one.
If it weren't for the fact that carrier pigeons can't carry heavy things, the girl would have wanted to give him a very thick black collar.
But no matter what, Black Hawk was very happy to receive the gift.
He hurried back to the room, looked at the green peace locket again and again, then hung it around his neck with a look of joy and stuffed it into the innermost part of his clothes.
After all, this was Ling Xiaoxiao's intention, and he couldn't let her down.
"Do you think Black Hawk's mouth is grinning to the back of his head now?" Shen Wan asked with a smile, looking at the tall figure on the window.
Xie Mubai lit the fireworks and said with a smile, "That's for sure."
He wanted to continue talking, but he saw Ran Qiu coming out with a smile: "Everyone come in quickly, the meal is ready."
