This was the first time she was so conflicted. She was used to listening to the words of the clan, and now she had to disobey the orders, which was evidently something she couldn’t do. However, Hu Xiao treated her so well, she didn’t want to make a move.
"What should I do? Why do I have to do this?!" Xue Mier squatted on the floor, and looked out the window at the moonlight, her eyes blurred. If it was in the past, she would definitely perform her duty, but now, she couldn’t.
"Hu Xiao, I see you as a friend. How can I possibly kill you?" Xue Mier muttered in her heart. She felt extremely uncomfortable, letting her make a choice was even worse than wanting her to die.
Go find Hu Xiao to drink.
He wanted to drink with Hu Xiao and see if he could chat with her. Also, she could try and see if Hu Xiao saw her as a friend.
If Hu Xiao didn’t see her as a friend, she would poison her to death. But if there was, what then?
She stood in front of Hu Xiao’s door and knocked on it.
"Then I’m coming in." Xue Mier pushed open the door and saw Hu Xiao sitting in front of the table, studying the map. She was surprised, it was so late, Hu Xiao was not asleep, so why was she studying the map?
She raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Hu Xiao, what are you doing? Why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"I wanted to ask you why did you come over here in the middle of the night without sleeping." Hu Xiao glanced at her and asked playfully, "Did you fall in love with me that you couldn’t see me for three whole years?"
Her mouth was filled with nonsense. When Xue Mier heard this, she simply spat and retorted, "Hu Xiao, can you not be so shameless? Who dares to say such words to you without feeling embarrassed?"
Xue Mier’s face was completely red, she had never seen a woman like Hu Xiao before, her skin was just too thick, she could say anything she wanted to.
Then she said, "Let’s drink. I suddenly want to come and drink with you."
Hearing that, Hu Xiao closed the map and said straightforwardly, "Sure, let’s drink."
She instructed Zhi Lan to prepare some snacks, and two pots of wine were placed on the table, with all these things prepared. Zhi Lan wisely went out and gave the room to the two of them.
"Hu Xiao, you have contributed a lot this time. To be honest, I admire you a lot. We had conflicts before, and now I know why I can’t win against you." Saying that, Xue Mier picked up the cup and touched it with Hu Xiao’s, the conflict on her face still present.
"Why? Because I have a good brain and a lot of ideas? " Hu Xiao raised her eyebrows, raised her head and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Because you have thick skin. You know how to trick people." Xue Mier replied with a serious look in her eyes.
"So you’re saying that being thick-skinned is also one of my strengths?" Hu Xiao found it funny, she put down the cup and looked at Xue Mier with her hands on her cheeks.
In the palace, who wasn’t thick-skinned? She was just a bit thicker than the others.
This is what I truly admire about you. Hu Xiao, come, kill it. " Xue Mier’s face flashed an expression of admiration. She did not conceal her admiration at all and praised Hu Xiao to the skies.
The matter of the water hazard in the south had been successfully resolved. Hu Xiao planned to leave three days later.
When the people in the city and outside the city heard the news, they arranged for the streets to be set up to send them on their way.
Seeing this, Hu Xiao was extremely excited. Obtaining the recognition of the people was a form of support for her.
She sat on the horse and looked at the group of people who were happily sending her off. She felt extremely moved. Only the three of them could bear the pain of seeing them off.
She took a deep breath and shouted in a loud voice, "As you can all see, women can also hold up the sky. As the times are developing and changing, I hope that you can abandon your prejudice against women.
Hu Xiao said with indignation and agitation, but as soon as she finished speaking, the people around clapped, agreeing with what Hu Xiao had said.
It’s better to listen to a king than to read a book for ten years. Xue Mier followed beside Hu Xiao and listened to every word she said.
Returning to the town, Hu Xiao found out that there were a lot of girls outside who requested to enlist as soldiers. Even the school was starting to enroll female students.
Seeing such a change, Hu Xiao felt a burst of excitement in her heart.
"Cousin, look. They are extremely intelligent. It’s all thanks to you saying those words." Yin Fufeng crossed his arms across his chest and said with a smile.
Hu Xiao always made his eyes light up when she did things, and it was no exception this time. The construction of the Water Guiding East Stream was a good example.
Even Yin Fufeng who roamed the martial arts world and had seen a lot of things, had never seen someone who could solve a water problem by spending the least amount of money and obtaining the most benefits. This was something that ordinary people would not be able to do.
"Women have the passion to sacrifice their lives for their country. With a little guidance, they will be able to see what they want." Hu Xiao did not dare take credit, she smiled and squinted her eyes, as she was comforted.
This was only the beginning. In the future, she would also need to mobilize all of her East Court and give them a sense of independence, so that they would not be attached to men.
"Yin Fufeng, do you believe me? This is just the beginning. " Hu Xiao raised her head and swore that her life would be even more exciting in the future.
"Oh? "Let’s wait and see." Yin Fufeng said with interest. At this time, Xue Mier was standing on the doorstep, listening to what the two of them said with a complicated feeling in her heart.
She still couldn’t make a move against Hu Xiao. If Hu Xiao was killed by her, it would leave a scar in her heart for the rest of her life.
The night before they left, Hu Xiao and the others who were gathered together were drinking. Everyone was in high spirits, and without exception, Xue Mier was extremely excited.
"Fill up the wine cup. It’s rare to be so happy today. Drink, drink." Hu Xiao said happily. She licked her lips and asked Zhi Lan to pour the wine.
Under the moonlight, the people were huddled together, laughing and talking, all of them were gathered together to scold the ministers of the imperial court, and even Xue Mier was involved in their meeting to scold the officials. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Xue Mier, since we said that to your cousin, you won’t go and inform us right?" She knew clearly in her heart that Xue Mier was the same as them, and did not really like Minister Wen.
After hearing that, a look of awkwardness flashed across Xue Mier’s face. She shrugged and said: "Of course not, if I were to go and complain, I’m just a puppy.
