Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 280 Think it through
He took the alliance letter, refused to get on the carriage that He Lanlian had arranged for him, and left the capital of Rizhao overnight.

Because the waterway they came from made her restless for several days, they unanimously decided to take the land route when they returned this time.

The land route is no faster than the water route, and five days have passed in circles.

When we arrived at Jincheng, it was dark and lonely in the city.

After the war stopped, children's cries were rarely heard throughout Jincheng.

Xie couldn't help but think of the night when he first arrived in Jincheng. He couldn't sleep all night. When he closed his eyes, all he could think of were seriously injured soldiers in the streets and alleys. They joined the group to keep warm in the cold night. It would be an exaggeration to say that the whole country was in mourning.

Several soldiers on patrol passed by holding torches, "Who is it? You dare to drive into the city in the middle of the night?"

He refused to open the car curtain and poke his head out.

"Thank you, Miss Second Miss, you're back!" I never thought those soldiers would recognize her.

Before Xie Xie could even take out his token, he heard them taking the initiative to drive the carriage towards the barracks where Xie Shen was stationed.

Xie Shen had not yet fallen asleep, and the light in the tent was dim.

"Second miss!"

"It's the second lady who came back from Rizhao!"

As soon as she walked into the barracks, there were many injured soldiers who wanted to stand up and salute eagerly, but refused to raise their hands, "Everyone rest, there is no need to be more polite."

The arrival of the refusal instantly caused a commotion in the quiet military camp.

In the past few days since she was absent from the army, everyone in the camp had learned that she had captured the third prince of Rizhao out of his wits, and exchanged her sweet words for a long-term truce between the two countries. Not only that, but there was also a lot of fanaticism. Fans spontaneously wrote scripts for her and exaggerated her various contributions and deeds to the people of Jincheng outside the teahouse every day.

All of a sudden, Xie Rui became a lifesaver in the eyes of the people in Jincheng.

"Mother."

When Xie Shen heard the familiar voice coming from outside the tent, he thought it was an illusion.

There were several dark marks scratched with a sharp knife on the old and decaying desk. Just now, she was still thinking, why did she go away without news for so many days? Did something happen on the way? In the blink of an eye, he seemed to hear her voice.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear any sound from inside.

Then he opened the curtain and walked in.

Jiang You stood behind Xie Shen and saw her first, "Second Miss."

Not only Xie Shen, but also when he heard the voice outside the tent just now, he subconsciously thought that he missed her too much. After all, this call had appeared countless times in the past few days.

Xie Shen's expression changed, and he rolled his wheelchair slowly toward her, "When did you come back?"

She forced a smile and replied, "Just arrived."

There was an unconcealable tiredness on his face.

"Okay, just come back." Xie Shen stretched out his hand, originally intending to pat Xie Xie's shoulder, but now she has grown more than half his head taller. With his right hand in the air, Xie Xie bent down and lowered his head as if sensing something. .

Xie Shen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time." There was a rare warmth in his tone.

Xie couldn't help but be stunned. In the impression, Xie Shen's old face, which was full of wrinkles and scars, had never shown such a gentle expression, and he had never spoken to her so kindly.

"This is what a daughter should do."

Xie Shen said no more, "Go down and rest quickly." At the end, he suddenly paused and said, "Did you come back alone?"

She replied: "No, Dugu Xiwei is also returning with my daughter."

Xie Shen nodded. She had known Dugu Jin for many years and both were officials in the court. Naturally, she knew very well that the Dugu family's family tradition was famous for being rigorous and harsh. It was rare for him to have such a heart.

Don't think about it, that's all for the sake of saying it.

The fact that Dugu Xiwei came to Jincheng was definitely not a deal-breaker.

She must find a way to properly place him before the fire spreads.

So, he knelt down on one knee towards Xie Shen and begged: "Mother, my daughter has something to ask for."

Xie Shen didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and said, "Get up, I know what you are going to say." Knowledgable Mo Ruomu.

"Have you thought clearly? Do you really want to marry him as your official husband?" Xie Shen asked word by word.

He declined and nodded, "Yes, my daughter has already thought about it clearly."

"The Dugu family has a large family, and he is the only son in the family. All love and mission are tied to him. If you marry him, it means that you will take over everything for the Dugu family. Can you do it?"

"I don't know if I can do it, but for him, I am willing to give it a try." Xie Rui rarely expressed her feelings to others, but now faced with Xie Shen's reminders and concerns, she had to take her own stand.

Xie Shen was silent for a long time, and finally responded: "Okay, I understand."

After exiting the camp, Jiang You quickly caught up with her.

"This is what the master left for the young lady." Jiang You handed a peach wood box into her hand, "By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you."

"What's the matter?" She lowered her head and stared at the box in her hand, carefully touching the complex and exquisite dark patterns carved on it.

Jiang You said: "My lord has driven the eldest lady back to Kyoto, and also ordered her to step down from her military post and stay at home."

Declined to hear the words but not surprised.

She knew before she left that as long as Xie Shen went to investigate, she would be able to find out what Xie Hong had done to her sister over the years.

Paper cannot hold fire.

The same principle applies here.

It all depends on whether Xie Shen wants it or not.

When she went back, she passed by Dugu Xiwei's tent and saw that the lights were still on, so she wanted to ask him why he wasn't asleep yet. Unexpectedly, when she got closer, she unexpectedly heard Ruyi talking to him.

"The young master is following Miss Xie to Rizhao this time. When the master found out, he was furious and sent several letters in a row, urging you to return to Kyoto as soon as possible."

Ruyi laid out the letters from home received in the past few days one by one.

Dugu Xiwei just lowered his eyes and glanced at it. He didn't even need to open it to read it, but he already knew what his mother would write in the letter.

This time, what I did was indeed too bold.

It's so bold that it's not something someone from the Dugu family would do.

It's a little too reckless.

But there was no regret in his heart.

Ruyi said, his words suddenly paused, he raised his hand and pointed carefully at the figure cast outside the tent.

Dugu Xi pursed her lips slightly, with a slight smile on her face.

"You're already here, why are you still standing outside and not coming in?"

He declined to listen and touched his nose awkwardly. Sure enough, listening to the corner still didn't suit him.

Ruyi opened the curtain and asked her to come in, and she stepped in.

But she saw Dugu Xiwei sitting by the bed and fiddling with a few letters from home. Seeing him like that, it seemed that he had no intention of hiding anything from her.

He declined: "Give me another seven days."

This is a bit confusing.

But Dugu Xiwei could understand.

He didn't even ask why, he just said: "Okay."

Xie despaired at him, and he looked back with burning eyes.

Suddenly they looked at each other and smiled.
