Chapter 92

After Xia Zhen finished speaking, he took Shen Xi's arm and looked at it.

She heard that soldiers like Mu Sichen were the best at interrogation.

If they encounter someone who is tough-talking, they have plenty of ways to make people talk.

Sometimes, because of the special status of the interrogation target, they will take some extraordinary measures.

For example, a method that can torture a person without leaving any obvious traces, or in a way that is hard to see.

It didn't matter if Xia Zhen didn't look at it. One look at Shen Xi's arms and there were indeed bruises and bruises.

From the wrist all the way up, there are scattered pieces, although the color is a little light, but they are still very conspicuous on Shen Xi's fair skin, and they vary in size.

It's just like this on my arms, but it shouldn't be on my body...

Xia Zhen took a breath, "This, this, this...you..."

She was about to yell, that man was too useless, he was still her wife, why did he need to be so cruel?

But when he took another closer look, Xia Zhen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Although she has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs running away.

This mark doesn't seem to be from a slap. Why does it look so like...a hickey?
Sensing her gaze, Shen Xi put down his sleeves unnaturally and looked away.

Xia Zhen looked up at her and saw Shen Xi's face was shy, her skin was white and rosy, and her brows and eyes looked moist, as if she had been tortured.

The two of them exchanged glances. She looked ambiguous and said tentatively: "That's what I thought..."

Shen Xi held his forehead. Although he was embarrassed, he could only nod helplessly.

Xia Zhen's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Shen Xi.

The originally sympathetic look immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a look that looked at a fool.

Oh, no, the fool is herself.

Xia Zhen exploded immediately.

"It's useless for me to worry about you. I haven't slept well in the past two days, just thinking about how to save you."

Having said this, Xia Zhen seemed extremely aggrieved.

"As soon as I heard that you might come today, I begged King Guangling for a long time before letting him bring us here. I still want to save you from the fire and water, but I don't know that your life is mixed with oil."

Shen Xi's face turned red when she said it, and she hurriedly explained:

"No, it's really not true. Everything I said before is true. I definitely didn't lie to you. I swear!"

Xia Zhen wasn't really angry to begin with, and seeing her sincere tone, he softened her tone slightly, but he was still full of doubts.

"Of course I'm happy to see you're okay, but didn't you say before that he wanted to drive you away and wanted to marry someone else? Now you two...have reconciled?"

Shen Xi shook his head.

Xia Zhen frowned, but it was replaced by a gossipy look in just a moment.

She approached Shen Xi and asked mysteriously.

"Then...you couldn't have done it the same day you went back."

Shen Xi didn't expect that she would ask such a straightforward question. Her ears felt hot and she nodded unnaturally.

Xia Zhen always spoke openly, and since both of them were girls, they had no scruples. She didn't believe it when she heard this.

"He said there was no reconciliation. Don't tell me that he went all the way to the Guangling Prince's Mansion just to sleep with you."

Shen Xi choked up for a moment. She had never thought about this before, but now that Xia Zhen said this, it seemed that the two of them had indeed... only done this one thing. .

Xia Zhen seemed to have thought of something and said:

"And he brought you here today to make your identity public. He didn't mean to let you go."

Shen Xi frowned.

"I just knew that he didn't want to marry the county head, but his attitude before, ugh... I was really confused by him."

Xia Zhen didn't know the past between the two and only said:
"Is there some misunderstanding between you two? He is still treating you well when you look at him like this."

While the two were talking, Shen Xi suddenly heard someone coming.

The anxious voice came from far away, "Miss, Miss."

When Shen Xi heard it, it was Xiao Tao's voice.

She pulled Xia Zhen out of the darkness and said, "Xiao Tao, I'm here."

Xiao Tao came over following the sound, "Miss, why have you been out for so long, the general asked me to come find you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhen glanced at Shen Xi meaningfully, with a teasing tone.

"Okay, go back quickly, otherwise no one will worry."

Shen Xi looked at her, hesitated to speak.

"Then... I'll come find you after I figure out what's going on here."

……

Shen Xi and Xiao Tao hurried back to the hall.

The atmosphere at the banquet was full of joy and laughter, and Shen Xi took advantage of the chaos to enter, as if no one noticed her.

Because I had been outside for so long, my hands were almost frozen due to the cold wind.

After she sat down, she rubbed her hands and turned her head carefully to look at Mu Sichen.

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he looked the same and was only drinking from a glass.

Shen Xi's mouth was dry from what she just said. Shen Xi was about to pick up the tea cup and take a sip of water, but the hand he raised was suddenly held by someone.

She was already uncomfortable sitting, and her forward posture was unstable.

Being pulled by Mu Sichen like this, his whole body was pulled by him.

Shen Xi bumped into Mu Sichen's shoulder with a bang, and her slightly cold hand was grasped by his hot palm, and she instantly felt like she was burned.

After reacting, Shen Xi looked at the hands held by the two of them. She straightened up, but it didn't have much effect. The two of them were still leaning against each other shoulder to shoulder.

Shen Xi's eyes were confused, "General?"

She thought to herself that Mu Sichen had drunk too much?He couldn't have specially warmed her hands.

The next second, Shen Xi was shattered by Mu Sichen's words.

Mu Sichen's thin lips parted slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he spat out two words.

"Pour wine."

With a dark look on Shen Xi's face, she broke away from Mu Sichen's hand.

Can you drink yourself without falling over?
This miserable world where men are superior to women.

The actions of the two people made little noise, but they all fell into one person's eyes.

Zhou Shuying didn't react much to Mu Sichen's marriage because she didn't like him much.

It's just that she heard her father say that she admired him before, so she paid attention and found that he was indeed in line with her wishes.

But he didn't expect that he was quite fond of this wife given by the Holy One.

She originally thought that the person Mu Sichen was interested in was definitely not bad at all.

Unexpectedly, this person also looked like an Israeli waiter.

Not only did he throw himself into his arms in public, but seeing that Mu Sichen had drunk so much, he even poured wine on him.

Did she lose to such a woman?

Zhou Shuying listened to the topic that everyone was talking about, and took over the topic.

"It's not just a day or two since the Dongyuan Kingdom tried to invade our border. I still remember that in the early years, there were several battles fought right on our doorstep. It was thanks to General Mu that we were able to keep the peace in Liangzhou."

Others agreed after hearing this.

Seeing that Mu Sichen had no reaction, Zhou Shuying turned the wine glass in her hand and said calmly:
"General Mu started to deal with the turmoil in Liangzhou as soon as he returned from the capital. When General Mu is newly married, he must be able to sacrifice his family for the country as soon as possible. Mrs. Mu's support is definitely indispensable."

Shen Xi was shocked: Could this all be related to her?
 Well, mark the one that was just posted in the book circle
