Han Zeyu covered He Mengying's eyes with a cloth and sent her back quietly.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing outside the door.
The sound of the door opening startled Dingxiang who was sleeping outside.
He Mengying gathered her coat and whispered, "I just came back from the toilet. It's okay. You can go back to sleep!"
Lying on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling, He Mengying slowly closed her eyes.
When I was a child, I felt that the most difficult days were when I didn’t have enough food to eat.
When she was a little older, her parents sold her to the palace. They said that there was food and drink in the palace and that life was better than at home, so she went there to enjoy herself.
At first she thought so too. She had to work anyway, she didn't have to starve or freeze in the palace, and she could get a monthly salary. It was indeed a good life.
But later, as I met more people and encountered more things, I realized that the palace was the most terrifying place in the world.
She lived cautiously and finally reached the age to leave the palace.
Her eldest brother came to take her home, and she happily followed him to leave the capital, but unexpectedly she ran into bandits coming down the mountain on the way.
The man who pushed her out and ran away with her luggage was not her fiancé as the bandits said, but her blood relative.
The brother who said he would take her home, help her build a house, and find a good marriage for her.
When she pushed herself away, she used such great force!
When she was being humiliated, she also thought about ending it all, but she was unwilling to do so.
She will always remember what Han Zeyu said: "It's not you who is wrong, it's them who deserve to die."
Yes, they were the ones who deserved to die. She wanted to live, so she had to try to save herself.
She could have escaped this time. Even just now, she could have followed Han Zeyu away.
But even though Dingxiang was stuck in a quagmire, she was still willing to help her.
She couldn't stay out of it, and then watched her friend die indifferently.
Give it a try, what if it works? She is just a worthless life, there is nothing to be afraid of.
At midnight, the couple took turns carrying the weight forward, one on each side of the body.
“She’s very brave.”
"We were all forced to do this. If there was someone to rely on, who wouldn't want to be a carefree person?"
"Want to help her?"
"Help! This is no small matter. You have just started your official career. You need to accumulate more merits to facilitate future promotions."
The two of them returned home after discussing it, and ended up sleeping until noon.
The intelligence agency under the Censorate launched an internal investigation. Who are these two shameless people who are having a paid relationship during working hours?
Zhou Yi came to find General Tie and happened to meet Uncle Zhong. The two chatted casually for a few minutes and then went to the conference room together.
Tie Dongming heard from his subordinates that Han Zeyu and Su Shien went out in the middle of the night, wearing night clothes, and did not return home for more than an hour.
Wearing night clothes, isn't that the man in black? Could the man in black who disappeared out of thin air also be Han Zeyu?
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes. "Don't blame others for everything. According to your thinking, he must be the one who saved my son!"
Uncle Zhong asked doubtfully, "A good man? Saving Zijun doesn't make him a good man, he should be a great benefactor."
Alas! If only their young master had a benefactor to help him back then.
Tie Dongming clapped his hands and laughed, you know what, this guy is quite talented.
Zhou Yi's face was filled with black lines. He was still foolishly looking for the descendants of "Da clan"! After all this time, people were making fun of him.
The person who did a "good deed", took the money without leaving his name, and also had a bad character, might really be that weird Han Zeyu.
"Uncle Zhong, why don't you take a break? Is there any important news?"
Uncle Zhong was puzzled by the laughter of the two men. When he heard the general's question, he started to talk about what he wanted to report.
"I haven't met him in person, I just got some information. However, there are some discrepancies in his age, so I can't confirm it yet."
Tie Dongming restrained his smile and sighed deeply.
"When fate brings us together, we'll naturally meet. Then we'll be able to confirm it by looking at whether there's a scar on his back."
Uncle Zhong and Zhou Yi set out together last year, but Zhou Yi had some errands to run, so he came back first after finishing them.
Uncle Zhong was searching for someone in a province like looking for a needle in a haystack, and only returned to Beijing a few days ago.
As someone who knew the situation, Zhou Yi didn't shy away from asking, "Where is that child now? What's his name?"
Uncle Zhong sighed and said, "I heard his name is Tiezhu, and he works as a servant in the home of a wealthy merchant named Su in Qingshan County."
Zhou Yi was surprised and asked, "From Qingshan County? Then why did he appear in the provincial capital?"
"The young master he followed was the eldest son of a concubine and had been separated. That year, he was sending a friend of the young master home, so I ran into him in the provincial capital."
Tie Dongming listened to the conversation between the two and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he spoke: "Is the young master of the Su family you are talking about called Su Shien?"
Uncle Zhong nodded. This was the name. The general actually knew this person?
Zhou Yi was shocked. What did that mean? Was that tall, strong, black guy the one Uncle Zhong was looking for?
Tie Dongming was also a little confused. It was Tie Zhu who competed with Shao Chen at the martial arts competition venue that day.
So, could he be...
"General, there's an editor from the Imperial Academy outside asking to see you. He doesn't have a visiting card, but he's here in his official uniform."
Don't look at their low official position, but they are from the extremely noble Hanlin Academy, where only Hanlin can enter the cabinet.
Zhou Yi said with difficulty: "Is it Su Shien?"
The butler confirmed: "Yes! That's the name."
This time Zhou Yi was really silenced.
But Uncle Zhong perked up. "Did he come here alone? Did he bring any servants with him?"
What kind of question is this? He came here on horseback, and he didn't see any servants.
Uncle Zhong sighed deeply, unable to conceal his disappointment.
Tie Dongming gave the order and asked the housekeeper to invite the person in.
The butler accepted the order and left. The fact that the general had to use the word "please" meant that this person was very important.
As soon as Su Shien came in, he was greeted by three naked gazes, and the curiosity in them was really not concealed at all.
He knew that it was indeed shocking for a seventh-rank civil official who had not yet taken office to visit the home of a third-rank military general, but he did not have any other connections.
After all, he had praised General Tie not long ago, and General Tie wanted to recruit him.
Yu Ge'er often taught him that if you are thin-skinned, you won't get anything to eat, but if you are thick-skinned, you can eat as much as you want.
If you want to achieve merit, get promoted, or get a raise, you can always keep your face in your pocket if that's not enough.
"As the saying goes, there's no need to visit someone without a reason. I have a special situation that I need to report to a higher authority. I'm really sorry to bother you."
Tie Dongming...
It is a taboo in official circles to get on the kang across the stove, and your stove is particularly long. What can I say?
