Shen Muzhi's background is no secret; most people here know it.
I also know that he had already married back in his hometown, and that he married an ordinary farm girl.
It was no secret that Shen Muzhi had sent people to search for his wife's younger sister, but most of his subordinates felt that in such a chaotic world, the chances of his wife's younger sister surviving were almost nil.
Everyone believes that Shen Muzhi's refusal to give up is simply because he is unwilling to accept reality.
As a result, suddenly someone appears who claims to be Shen Muzhi's wife.
And it's so, so indescribable...
They looked at their imposing and handsome general, then at the suspicious figure still hiding behind the wooden plank, their expressions indescribable.
Shen Muzhi remained calm. After all, given the original owner's personality, it would be perfectly normal for him to do something like this. This made him almost certain that the person behind him was probably Hei Ni.
He just didn't understand how she got here, or where his sister, Chen Qiyue, was now.
Shen Muzhi ignored what his men were thinking. He waved his hand slightly, signaling them to put away their weapons, before speaking to Yan Xiao:
"Alright, come out now."
This tone is already considered gentle.
This made Jiang Xinrui, who had been stiff since the beginning, clench her handkerchief tightly.
Yan Xiao saw through the gap that they had all put their weapons away, so she simply poked her head out.
She has been detoxifying herself recently, and the dark spots that have appeared on her face over the past few years have almost disappeared, but her skin hasn't become much whiter.
So as soon as her head appeared, the people at the scene saw a black face that could almost blend into the darkness.
This made them gasp in shock, their expressions turning pale, but they dared not show it because of Shen Muzhi's authority.
Shen Muzhi, however, remained remarkably calm. After carefully examining Yan Xiao, whose hair was styled in a man's bun, he lightly beckoned to her.
"come over."
Now that she had shown her face and Shen Muzhi had seen it clearly, Yan Xiao knew her life was safe and sound, so she stopped hiding.
She grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, looking very happy. She pushed aside the wooden plank blocking her way, stood up, and strode towards Shen Muzhi.
Perhaps her appearance was too striking, as everyone present focused almost entirely on her face and didn't immediately notice what she was wearing.
Shen Muzhi had been observing her closely. Upon noticing her attire, he frowned slightly. Only after Yan Xiao approached did he ask:
What are you wearing?
Yan Xiao, who had already approached, could now see Shen Muzhi's appearance clearly by the firelight.
Her facial features were not much different from what the original owner remembered, but her temperament had undergone a qualitative leap.
His wheat-colored face had a sharp, cold look, and his dark, deep eyes held a sharp glint.
His thick eyebrows, high nose, thin, slightly pursed lips, and tall, slender yet not rugged physique made him appear handsome and refined, exuding an air of noble arrogance, completely different from the country boy he once was.
As expected of the male protagonist of this world, he's so handsome it makes me want to seduce him.
Yan Xiao was admiring Shen Muzhi's good looks when she heard his question.
She had only yelled because she was worried about how to explain her outfit, and now that Shen Muzhi was asking, she had no mood to appreciate his good looks anymore and quickly explained:
“I just peeled this off a corpse, thinking that if they saw me, they might not kill me.”
As she spoke, she showed Shen Muzhi the cuts on her clothes from the swords, and then, in front of everyone, she took the clothes off her body.
"I didn't want to wear it either. Clothes of the dead are so unlucky. Isn't this for the sake of survival?"
Oh my god, the general's wife took off her clothes in public...
Upon seeing Yan Xiao's actions, Shen Muzhi's men all turned their heads to the side, as if they were afraid that Shen Muzhi would silence them.
Shen Muzhi's brow twitched involuntarily when he saw Yan Xiao's actions.
"What kind of behavior is this?"
Yan Xiao, who had already taken off her clothes, looked completely innocent.
"What's wrong? I'm not wearing nothing underneath."
This isn't about whether you're wearing anything underneath or not, okay?
Shen Muzhi glanced at Yan Xiao's clothes, took a deep breath, and stopped talking about that topic. Instead, he asked about what he cared about most:
"Where's July? Why wasn't she with you?"
Yan Xiao knew that Shen Muzhi cared most about Shen Qiyue. Hearing his question, she was about to say that Shen Qiyue was on the ship when she heard a gasp from beside her:
"Dr. Yan? You're Dr. Yan? I never expected we'd meet again."
Yan Xiao was about to say something, but this exclamation stopped her from speaking.
The voice was familiar; after all, it was her first pot of gold, so it was hard for her not to remember it.
But why is this person here?
Before she could think, she turned her head to look in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Rui carrying a man in black walking towards her from not far away.
Not only Yan Xiao, but everyone else present also looked at Xiao Rui.
Among these people, Wei Wuxiu's expression was the most complicated, one could even say he was questioning the meaning of life.
He strode up to Xiao Rui, his expression serious and his tone somewhat urgent:
"Dr. Yan? You're saying she's Dr. Yan? Are you sure you haven't mistaken her for someone else?"
Xiao Rui had just gone to chase after the assassin leader, so he didn't see Yan Xiao appear, and he didn't know that Yan Xiao was Shen Muzhi's wife.
Although he noticed something was off about his master's mood, he assumed it was just excitement from finding the extraordinary Doctor Yan and didn't think much of it, quickly nodding affirmatively.
"I'm sure, Master. This is Doctor Yan, the one who cured you of the poison. I couldn't possibly be mistaken."
Xiao Rui's words changed the way everyone in the know looked at Yan Xiao.
Even the usually composed Shen Muzhi was momentarily stunned, feeling as if he were listening to some unbelievable fantasy.
He knew his own childhood sweetheart very well.
In his memory, his wife was illiterate and only knew a lot of strength. How could she possibly have any medical skills?
He looked at Yan Xiao with a puzzled expression, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger:
"Are you the extraordinary person who saved Brother Wei?"
"Forehead!"
Without saying a word, she glanced at the handsome man standing next to Xiao Rui, completely uninterested in appreciating his good looks, because she felt like cursing.
No wonder she felt the name Xiao Rui sounded familiar. Damn it, isn't he the head of Wei Wuxiu's personal bodyguards?
She was initially puzzled as to how Lou Guyu's storyline had fallen apart, but now there's nothing she can't understand.
If she had known the person in the inn was Wei Wuxiu, she wouldn't have run away! This whole series of troubles wouldn't have happened.
