Chapter 279 Guessed
Wei Ling raised his eyes and met Su Jixiang's smiling eyes. His mood immediately calmed down a lot.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam. I'll ask someone to go see if the imperial envoy needs anything." Wei Ling's tone suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Don't worry, I have already considered this. I have arranged people to be on standby at the Imperial Envoy's side." Xie Yingfeng said.
"That's all right. Since they're not coming for dinner, let's eat it. It won't be a waste!" Wei Ling said, "Go call Qian Feng and the others over later. After all, it's a big table and the four of us can't finish it all."
The banquet prepared by Su Jixiang was indeed not wasted. Everyone ate until their stomachs were full and left the general's mansion feeling satisfied.
Cui Yushan, on the other hand, did not order dinner until very late.
After all, he was still waiting for the General's Mansion to send someone to invite him again.
As a result, I waited for a long time but he didn't come. I waited for a long time but he didn't come either. I waited for a long time but he didn't come until very late.
That night, when Cui Yushan returned to the room, Zheng Wenxiu had already finished her bath. After walking for so many days, she finally settled down, and she felt a little unable to open her eyes.
But Cui Yushan was unsure, so he grabbed the drowsy Zheng Wenxiu and said, "Madam, you said that Wei Ling saved us once, should we go to his house to express our gratitude?"
"What are you thanking me for?" Zheng Wenxiu was already very sleepy, and now being questioned by Cui Yushan, she was even more impatient. "We have already entered the territory of Mangcheng, and he should be responsible for our safety. He was disrespectful to you by not sending people to the territory early to wait for us. If we were in trouble in his territory of Mangcheng, it would be his fault. He saved us just to make up for his mistake. It's just that we were kind enough not to pursue his problem. If we really did, do you think he could escape responsibility?"
Cui Yushan immediately felt that it made sense after listening to it. "Madam, what you said is absolutely right. So, do you think we should report this matter to Dongdu?"
"Report it. What did His Majesty send you for?" Zheng Wenxiu yawned and said, "He wants you to find the mistakes of Wei Ling. The more you find, the more it will suit His Majesty's wishes."
"I understand!" Cui Yushan was immediately delighted.
He finally let Zheng Wenxiu go. Zheng Wenxiu was extremely tired and had just taken a shower. She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Cui Yushan had just arrived in Mangcheng and had something on his mind, so he had trouble falling asleep. He simply got up and went to the study, wrote a secret letter, tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon, and released it.
Soon, the pigeon was caught in a net.
"General, that guy really sent a message to the capital." Wei Zhong knocked on Wei Ling's door with Cui Yushan's freshly prepared secret letter.
Wei Ling and Su Jixiang had not gone to bed yet. They were still discussing the matter of Cui Yushan and his wife.
Wei Ling had a frosty look on his face. He took the secret letter and looked at it. Then he asked Wei Zhong to tie the letter to the leg of the carrier pigeon and let it fly again.
"What does the letter say? Is it the first complaint against you?" Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling with a smile.
"He said I neglected the imperial envoy." Wei Ling snorted, "He also said that I didn't rule strictly. There are still bandits rampant in the mountains in the area under my jurisdiction. After I rescued him, I didn't send anyone to chase the bandits. I'm afraid I knew the bandits."
Su Jixiang couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this. "He's not stupid! Aren't you familiar with the bandits?" Wei Ling and the bandits were actually from the same family, so how could they not know each other...
Wei Ling couldn't help laughing, "How could he have that ability? When I rescued him, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand up straight. He had no time to distinguish right from wrong. He said that in the secret letter just to make it seem like I was right by accident." Cui Yushan really didn't think that Wei Ling was actually from the same family as those thieves. He wrote that just to discredit Wei Ling, but he didn't expect that he got it right.
"Now it seems that even if we show him goodwill, he won't appreciate it." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "First, you saved him, but instead of coming to thank him, he wrote a letter to report you. Later, when we sincerely invited him, he didn't come to the appointment. Even if he wanted to take advantage of us, he went to report you behind your back on the first day he came. I'm afraid he won't change his opinion of you in the future."
"He came here to monitor me. The more mistakes and omissions he finds here, the more at ease Dongdu will be." Wei Ling sneered, "It seems that I have to give him more information in the future so that he can have something to write to the person in Dongdu to read."
"What does my husband mean..." Su Jixiang asked.
"Since Cui Yushan is not a guy who knows how to repay his gratitude, he is a guy who only wants to climb up the social ladder. I staged a rescue scene just to see what kind of character this guy has." Wei Ling said, "But now it seems that this guy is really not that good. What I mean is to praise him first, and then let him fall hard, so that he can be proud first! You think it is easy to manage the iron mine. I just need to quietly put the huge profits of the iron mine in front of him. Do you think he can withstand his original intention with his character? If he can really keep it, then I will respect him as a man!"
Su Jixiang tapped Wei Ling's tall nose and asked, "Why is the general so charming when he's scheming against people?"
Wei Ling's mind was blocked, and he felt that Su Jixiang's fingertips were not poking his nose but his heart. He stretched out his long arms and pulled Su Jixiang into his arms, "Madam, if you are like this, I can't control myself again!"
Su Jixiang...
A night of romance
The next day, when Su Jixiang woke up, he was surprised to find that Wei Ling had not yet gone to the military camp.
She slowly raised her body, and just as she stood up, Wei Ling picked her up.
Su Jixiang's face immediately turned red. "It's already morning, what else do you want to do?"
Wei Ling looked at her innocent face and couldn't help biting her cheek gently. "It's my turn to take a day off today. I'll take you out for a walk around the neighborhood."
"Why didn't you say it earlier? I've been sleeping till this hour!" Su Jixiang was stunned, then complained a little.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm taking a three-day break!" Wei Ling said with a smile, "Your husband will be with you these days!"
Wei Ling and Su Jixiang have been married for such a long time, but to be honest, the time they have actually spent together is not very long. After all, the military camp is busy, and Su Jixiang has been busy all the time as well.
"Then I'll go and talk about the matters at Caidiexuan." Su Jixiang said.
"No need. I've asked someone to tell Qu Wanning to take care of her these few days." Wei Ling said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about it. It's fine if Cui Yushan takes Qiao, we can go and have fun. I wonder if he can bear it or we can!"
