In this way, Lu Xian’s words were mixed half-truly and half-falsely.
Just a few years ago, their escort agency received a bid. It was a big escort from a young man named Ziyu in the Mountain of Yang. Thus they got to know Childe Ziyu and then became close friends.
Later, by chance, Childe Ziyu had an ore business in the Northwest. The round-trip transportation had to be escorted by specially assigned personnel. At that time, the business of the escort agency was terrible. But hundreds of escorts in the escort agency are relying upon their business for meals.
To make a living, Lu Xian ignored his niece’s advice and decided to take risks. He volunteered to earn some fast money from smuggling.
The Shenwei Escort Agency has the natural convenience of transportation from all corners of the world, and its network lines are ready-made. So the two sides cooperated until now. But later, he was surprised to learn that his niece had an accident, and he did not want to work for the Mountain of Yang anymore, so he proposed to hand it over.
But no one has taken over from the Mountain of Yang. He is an old Jianghu man, and he sensed something wrong regarding this matter, so he arranged for the other people from the Shenwei Escort Agency to evacuate.
However, they are still one step later, Prince Sui’s men suddenly came chasing them, and they fight dirty with no mercy. Fortunately, many people on the barbarian side have deep friendships with them, so they escaped here.
However, he was seriously injured, so his escort, Liu Kun, went to the city to buy medicine. He accidentally saw Miantang and stayed for a few days, waiting to meet her.
Cui Xingzhou listened quietly and suddenly asked, “Did you leave Liu Miantang alone on the Mountain of Yang when you went to the Northwest to transport coal?”
Miantang also looked up at her uncle. At this time, she remembered what Servant Li had said before that she was the mistress of Childe Ziyu.
At that time, she thought it was ridiculous, but now… She thinks it may be true.
Lu Xian gritted his teeth. Knowing that his niece’s relationship with Ziyu could not be concealed thus, he told Miantang the truth so that Miantang would not be bothered by Ziyu in the future.
“It’s also because I didn’t take good care of Miantang. Miantang was young at that time, and the girls in the boudoir were just beginning to fall in love with each other. That Ziyu was a gentle young man, so they had some ambiguous feelings… Miantang was good at accounting, so she took care of the daily accounts of the stronghold for that Ziyu. However, Miantang was a good child, and naturally abided by the etiquette of great defense before he talked about marriage with Ziyu. It’s just that Ziyu was amorous. Besides provoking my niece, he also fell in love with other women and was framed by other women. She was ready to leave early on, but she was drowned by someone… Now the Mountain of Yang has been offered amnesty and enlistment. Even if Miantang takes care of his account, she will be pardoned. You won’t be able to punish her for it, Official. As for the smuggling of ore deposits, it is all my greed and has nothing to do with others. Let the national law handle it! ”
Prince Huaiyang believed what Lu Xian said. After all, no one knows better than him whether is Liu Miantang innocent or not.
As for Miantang’s encounter with being murdered, it was related to that Childe Ziyu’s unfaithfulness. Lu Xian’s words are not too different from his previous conjectures.
After receiving the confession from the Shenwei Escort Agency, he sent someone to inquire about it carefully. The old grandson of Prince Sui’s wrongdoings evidence is all in his hand now.
If his previous words of deceiving Miantang had not been exposed in confusion, today’s trip to the shabby temple would have been fruitful.
Thinking of this, looking at Lu Xian’s pale and haggard face, Cui Xingzhou reassured him, “According to the law, you should be beheaded for smuggling iron ore. But if Mr. Lu can cooperate obediently, I will treat you with courtesy, to ensure that Mr. Lu has no danger and survives this disaster safely…”
This statement is very peaceful. If he doesn’t think it over carefully, it seems that he can’t hear the threat. He said this not only to Lu Xian but also to the woman who had always turned her back on him.
When he finished his interrogation, the doctor also gave him acupuncture and moxibustion to relieve pain and treated the wound.
Lu Xian has been scared all along running away from the chase that he couldn’t sleep well. Now in the hands of the Military Officers and men, they are sleeping in a warm place and drinking hot soup.
The hard work and heavy injuries all the way were unbearable to the iron man, so Lu Xian took the sleeping pills and went to sleep.
Miantang sat on one side and didn’t speak until Lu Xian shouted thirsty in his dream. She then got up and went out to look for water.
But she didn’t expect that as soon as she got out of the tent, she saw the Military Master, Cui Jiu, standing upright. She didn’t know how long he had waited.
Miantang didn’t like to talk to liars, so she half drooped her eyelids and tried to avoid him in circles.
But Cui Jiu had enough of Liu Miantang’s cold eyes. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into the carriage.
“Let go, what are you doing? I’m going back to take care of my uncle!”
Cui Xingzhou remained unmoved and said, “He’s under the care of a Military Doctor and a servant I sent. Can you help with his urine or wipe it yourself? Why do you stay there?”
Miantang heard what his uncle said just now and believed it all. Her uncle said that she had previously admired Childe Ziyu, which coincided with the situation she had seen in her dream when she was getting along well with Childe Ziyu.
However, she was unexpectedly harmed by someone and cut off the tendons of her hands and legs. Who was the person who did this cruel thing to her? Miantang still has many questions to ask her uncle.
Now she doesn’t want to think about Cui Xingzhou’s bad debt of using herself as bait, and she doesn’t want to talk to him again.
But Cui Xingzhou was determined to speak all out with her.
He won’t blame her because she was young, didn’t know people clearly, and helped tyrants. But now she has committed herself to him. Even if they haven’t gotten married, she is his woman.
She is almost nineteen now, and she is not a child. She should know something about the ways of the world. Although when he was in the shabby temple, he deliberately didn’t hide from her and was slapped by her to relieve her anger. But she should also understand that it is not always possible for her to act according to her temperament like a shrew, then does she want to continue living?
So when the carriage entered the Wuning Checkpoint and arrived at Miantang’s temporary residence, Cui Xingzhou pulled her down, ignoring Servant Li and the servant girls who greeted them all the way.
Servant Li was anxious to let Miantang go out of the city alone. She didn’t know if she had met with anything unexpected. Unexpectedly, she watched The Prince pull Miantang back into the house with a grim face.
Although she has long known that Miantang’s identity is not simple, she also knows that The Prince is just using Lady Liu.
But at the moment when the scam was uncovered, Servant Li still felt a sigh in her heart.
These days, how The Prince and Lady Liu are, she sees everything in her eyes. Even a true couple cannot be compared to their loveliness.
Unfortunately, the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water are not permanent.
Now the mirror is broken and the moon is hidden. The scam set by The Prince has finally come to an end.
She just hopes that The Prince will remember his love these days and leave a way for Lady Liu to survive.
After Cui Xingzhou entered the house, he closed the door tightly.
Miantang felt that she hadn’t noticed Cui Xingzhou’s rudeness before. How could he look like a gentleman? She touch her wrists which were in pain after his grab, laughed in anger, and looked at Cui Xingzhou sarcastically.
For a while, without Lady Liu’s treating him with courtesy and showing consideration to help him undress and poured water, Prince Huaiyang poured two glasses of water for himself. After drinking one, he poured another one for Miantang and handed it to her.
But Miantang didn’t take it, only turned her eyes coldly and didn’t look at Cui Jiu.
Cui Xingzhou felt that her face was slightly puffed up, like an angry child, so he held her in his arms, pressed her against the tip of her nose, and asked in a low voice, “Haven’t you released your temper yet?”
Miantang admired his skill of making big things smaller. How brazen he is to pretend to be someone else’s husband without shame?
She turned her beautiful eyes and looked askance at him. “Do teach me how to calm down and not be angry when a young woman was cheated of her innocence and chastity, Military Master Cui.”
Cui Xingzhou felt that he should talk with her about the reason carefully, so he thought carefully and said, “… You were seriously injured at the beginning. I ordered someone to help you out of the water and treat you wholeheartedly. I always deserve the name of a lifesaver, right?”
Liu Miantang didn’t speak, but her eyes were slowly turning red and misting.
Cui Xingzhou looked down at her and said nothing. “Think again. I never deceived you into calling me husband at first. You mistook me and just called me husband on your own.”
“You… You…” Liu Miantang was so angry that she could not speak. She pointed her finger at his nose.
Cui Xingzhou held her hand, then he said, “At first, I wanted to use you to lure the followers of the Mountian of Yang sect. But later I found that someone in the Mountain of Yang was against you, and I was worried about you. So I kept you by my side to protect your safety wholeheartedly… But later, when I went out on the expedition, I was afraid that you would wait for me, and I was determined to let you live your own life. My divorce letter was written… My identity may be false, but when did my caring and affection for you fake?”
Liu Miantang was blocked from speaking. Just like Cui Xingzhou said, although he deceived her, he also saved her life. This is a book of gratitude and resentment that can not be calculated clearly.
But this fake Cui Jiu took it for granted, which was really annoying. She stared him straight in the eye and said, “So, I chased you for thousands of miles, that is to say, it was me who came sticking at you? When I finally slept with you for a few nights, it was also because I was excited by your appearance and stained your innocence.”
Cui Xingzhou took her by the hand and said slowly, “For this matter, you can’t blame me for it. If I hadn’t also drunk the wine you prepared, I wouldn’t have been like that… Who can resist the wine effect? You think I’m a eunuch and can remain sitting still.”
Liu Miantang’s anger reached the extreme, but her tone calmed down. She broke away from Cui Jiu’s embrace and knelt to solemnly salute, “In that case, the ancients said that the kindness of saving lives should be returned by pledging to marry the lifesaver. I have already done so. Thanks to the Military Master for not rejecting me and enjoying it. So let’s clear up our gratitude and resentment and say goodbye. I won’t take the title of the Military Master’s wife again, and ruin your reputation!”
After that, she got up, opened the suitcase, took the luggage and prepared to pack some clothes, and took them to the barracks later.
Her eldest uncle smuggled iron ore, and she could not escape the responsibility. She was also a member of the Lu family, so she naturally wanted to advance and retreat with her eldest uncle.
Cui Xingzhou never tolerated coaxing women, but today he talked all his good words, but Lady Liu was completely uninformed. She was determined to pack her bags and leave. She was really stubborn!
He strode over and stretched out his hand and lifted the cloth of the package!
Miantang stretched out her hand to grab it, but her wrist didn’t work well. She suddenly strained her old injury, which made her groan and shrinks up immediately.
Cui Xingzhou knew her old problems and immediately threw down the wrapper, frowned, and reached out to skillfully massage her hand points to ease the pain in her hands.
Since arriving in the Northwest, Cui Xingzhou has seriously learned some massage methods from Zhao Quan. When it rains and Miantang is in pain, he always “happens” to come back and massage her hands and feet…
As he said, his affection is indeed a little true…
The sweetness of their relationship is still in front of them. How can it be easily forgotten?
Miantang’s tears finally burst out. Big drops of soybeans fell on the back of Cui Xingzhou’s hand, which he was massaging.
Cui Xingzhou had never realized before that crying without choking could be so torturing. He put his arms around her and said with heartache, “Don’t cry. I’m not leaving you alone. It’s okay…”
But Miantang pushed him, “What’s your real name? Do you have wives and concubines?”
Liu Miantang suddenly remembered that, depending on his age, it was the time for a man to start a family and business. Moreover, his speech and behavior, including Servant Li, did not seem to come from an ordinary family.
If he has a wife, what is she? Isn’t it a mistress?
Cui Xingzhou avoided answering his name and only said what Miantang was most concerned about, “I have not got a wife…”
To be honest, for some reason, he suddenly felt very lucky that he had withdrawn from his cousin’s marriage before going out to fight. But if he says at this moment that he is Prince Huaiyang, that sentence “no wife” inevitably appears to be a little weak…
When he said it, Miantang relaxed slowly and realized that she had just held her breath. She waited and waited for him to say his name. However, he didn’t speak again. Obviously, he didn’t intend to tell her, which made her heart sink again.
After a while, her hand pain gradually eased, he then said, “Although it’s spring now, the Jinjia Checkpoint is in the valley, which is the source of the wind. It’s much colder than the Wuning Checkpoint. In a few days, when your uncle’s injury is stable, I will send someone and send him to the Wuning Checkpoint to recuperate. You should stay at home these days. Your uncle knows the bad doings of Prince Sui’s collusion with the enemy. He will certainly not give up. I will protect you all and never let anyone lay a finger on you.”
Miantang understands that Cui Xingzhou didn’t mean to scare herself. That Prince Sui of the State of Hui is really hard to deal with. There are only a few people around her uncle. If he is surrounded by the assassins of Prince Sui, his life will be at risk.
So after thinking for a while, she nodded slowly.
At this moment, Servant Li said cautiously outside the door, “Master, Madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat?”
Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang have suffered so much that they haven’t eaten, so Cui Xingzhou asks Servant Li to bring them food.
The food was cooked very diligently, with fine sprouts and hot and finely chopped bean jelly. It seems that they are all heat-clearing and reduce fire dishes.
Miantang couldn’t bear it. Cui Xingzhou quietly picked her some dishes and soup.
After eating, Miantang felt that Cui Xingzhou wanted to stay overnight. She silently got up and picked up the quilt and pillow to squeeze into the servant girl’s room.
Cui Xingzhou was angry when she saw that she was still at odds with him. She only said in a deep voice, “You stay and sleep. I’ll go.”
With this, he got up and went out of the house. After leaving the yard, he turned over and rode back to the Jinjia Checkpoint.
In the following days, Cui Xingzhou did not go to the Wuning Checkpoint again.
And he did what he said. After Lu Xian’s injury stabilized, he was sent to the Wuning Checkpoint.
Today, in the small courtyard of the Wuning Checkpoint, there are distinct factions.
Servant Li and Fan Hu have both exposed their identities as watchers, and their status in the small yard has plummeted.
Fang Xie and Bi Cao swore to heaven that they were sold by human traffic. After proving that they didn’t know the identity of Master Cui at all, they managed to maintain their loyalty to their Madam’s heart and occasionally got a smile from her.
The rest were ignored by the Madam.
Now that Lu Xian has recovered some strength, he can talk with his niece.
However, he decided not to tell Miantang her identity on the Mountain of Yang. That kind of identity is too frightening. If it is known to others, Miantang will no longer be able to marry and have children like ordinary women and live a safe life.
After all, which man dares to marry the female thief who rose in the Mountain of Yang? Even if he was Liu Miantang’s uncle, he was sometimes frightened by his niece’s boldness.
To be honest, with that memory, her niece can’t be integrated into any homestead in her whole life. Can you expect a female thief who dares to lead a revolt with her followers and live an ordinary life with her husband and child?
But Liu Miantang lost her memory, and all the thrilling and exciting memories on the Mountain of Yang were wiped out in her mind.
As an elder, Lu Xian felt that this was God’s pity for Miantang.
It’s just that she has been cheated into being a married couple for nearly two years now. As her uncle, he sighed for a while. He always felt sorry for his younger sister, who died early. He didn’t take good care of his niece, and let her make mistakes step by step.
“Miantang, did he tell you his name and identity?” Lu Xian asked tentatively when his niece was giving him medicine.
Miantang’s hand paused, lowered her eyelids, and said, “It doesn’t matter whether he said it or not. Judging from the speech from Servant Li he assigned to me, he is of high birth and should be of an official aristocratic family… I know very well that I am not of the same kind as him. After the matter of Prince Sui is settled, if he keeps his promise, we will leave the Northwest and go back to find my grandfather…”
Lu Xian didn’t expect that his niece would not drag at all. She had decided in her heart. From this point of view, Miantang’s temperament is the same as that before she lost her memory.
“But… You and him… If it is publicized…”
Miantang didn’t want her uncle to worry too much about herself, she put her tone as light as possible, “I’m not a famous person where people all over the world can know me. Where can I not earn a living when I go out of the Northwest in the future? These are just things where people live together when they are in trouble. How many temporary couples were there in the countryside where people fled in the past? When they settled down stably, the exposed couples scattered. I didn’t see anyone who wanted to die and let the other party be responsible to the end!”
Miantang’s statement is true. In the folk countryside, at the critical moment of life and death, people want to find a way to survive. That kind of chastity and reputation is for the women in the high noble’s houses like the Marquis’s Mansion. If they are placed in the mud pit of the humble people, the chastity of thousands of daughters can’t be more useful than the steamed bread that cost 2 cents!
So Miantang didn’t take her chastity too seriously. And… The person she slept with is not a greasy fat man.
Although Cui Jiu is known to be a liar, he is so good-looking that she can’t find fault with being thin or fat, or having some other disease. Even when he deceives people, his handsome appearance can show some affection.
Miantang asked herself these days and felt that she could not be counted as a loss. Although she can’t pick a man to compare with Cui Xingzhou in her memory, it’s really hard to find such a man in the world. Besides his appearance, it’s even harder to pick a man with a good waist.
Fortunately, Cui Jiu has both… So Miantang’s heart is getting clearer and clearer. She feels that even if she has infatuated her heart with the wrong person, she is not at much loss.
However, not everyone is as open-minded as she is.
After Miantang finished feeding him the medicine, she was going out to get his meal. When he lifted the curtain, Cui Xingzhou, who had not been seen for several days, stood in front of the door with a tight face. She doesn’t know how much he listened to what she and her uncle said.
Miantang has reviewed herself in recent days. She felt that she was a bit ignorant of the present state of affairs because of her stiff words with him the other day. After the sensitivity and obstinacy of the romantic girl faded, the flattering Lady Liu appeared.
“Military Master Cui is back? Why are you standing at the door? It’s windy here. Hurry in and sit in the room… Have you eaten? I asked Servant Li to make your favorite stew.” Miantang smiled and greeted him warmly.
She can’t help it. Both she and her uncle have to live under the breath of the Military Master. They must always be decent in the face. Being polite and courteous is the rule of the world.
How can Cui Xingzhou not see that she is dealing with himself? Look at that smiling gallantry! It’s exactly the same as when she met some stupid big customers with a lot of money in the porcelain shop in Lingquan Town!
And according to what she said just now, he is just a bowl of porridge to satisfy her hunger. If she has other food to eat, she can forget about him… Women are like villains, and their nature is cold and difficult to feed. He has thoroughly understood the ancient holy teachings.
It’s just that they have been separated for so many days, but she still looks like she has pink cheeks and gentle eyes, as if she doesn’t have too much lovesickness.
Looking at her smiling red cherry lips, Cui Xingzhou only felt that there was a rush of blood jumping uncontrollably in his blood vessels…
Cui Xingzhou had a bad time these days. His “old illness” recurred and he began to lose sleep every night.
His Young Servant, Mo Ru, has been working hard as well. When his Master practices boxing under the moon, he has to wait with a kettle and a towel. The eyes of the Master and Servant both turned red in recent days.
Mo Ru thought that it was not a good way to endure like this, so he guessed The Master’s intention and tried to ask The Prince if he wanted to go back to the medicine shop of the Wuning Checkpoint to find some medicine to drink.
At that time, The Prince didn’t say anything, but just lowered his head to write the documents. After a long time, he asked him to prepare his horse and go to the Wuning Checkpoint. It seems that he has adopted his proposal.
But now Mo Ru can see that the medicine that can cure The Prince is not in the medicine chest drawer of the medicine shop, but the doorway of the small yard.
But that “medicine” is so greasy that it’s not easy to eat. It’s really not a good thing!
As the saying goes, “Never hit a smiling person”. Miantang is no longer angry with himself, and she has finally made some progress. Cui Xingzhou tried to relax his face and said, “I want to eat your spicy fried food…”
Miantang is not only good at stir-frying crabs but also sliced meat.
After listening to the Military Master’s order, Miantang immediately nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll make two kinds for you.”
Those two responded calmly and freely as if they had not torn their faces and had a fierce argument the other day.
That “Military Master” is too harsh! Cui Xingzhou never thought that he would miss that soft, sweet, and clingy calling of “husband”…
Miantang took Cui Xingzhou’s food list and went to the kitchen to prepare meals.
A few days ago, she was in a bad mood, and she also gave a lot of cold faces to Servant Li. Now she has figured it out and feels that she has gone too far.
In any case, Servant Li has never wronged herself in her daily life. Her abdominal pain during the month has been alleviated by Servant Li’s herbal soup and careful care.
So while putting up an apron in the small kitchen, Miantang sincerely apologized to Servant Li and said “sorry”.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
In this way, Lu Xian’s words were mixed half-truly and half-falsely.
Just a few years ago, their escort agency received a bid. It was a big escort from a young man named Ziyu in the Mountain of Yang. Thus they got to know Childe Ziyu and then became close friends.
Later, by chance, Childe Ziyu had an ore business in the Northwest. The round-trip transportation had to be escorted by specially assigned personnel. At that time, the business of the escort agency was terrible. But hundreds of escorts in the escort agency are relying upon their business for meals.

But later, he was surprised to learn that his niece had an accident, and he did not want to work for the Mountain of Yang anymore, so he proposed to hand it over.
But no one has taken over from the Mountain of Yang. He is an old Jianghu man, and he sensed something wrong regarding this matter, so he arranged for the other people from the Shenwei Escort Agency to evacuate.
However, they are still one step later, Prince Sui’s men suddenly came chasing them, and they fight dirty with no mercy. Fortunately, many people on the barbarian side have deep friendships with them, so they escaped here.
However, he was seriously injured, so his escort, Liu Kun, went to the city to buy medicine. He accidentally saw Miantang and stayed for a few days, waiting to meet her.

Thinking of this, looking at Lu Xian’s pale and haggard face, Cui Xingzhou reassured him, “According to the law, you should be beheaded for smuggling iron ore. But if Mr. Lu can cooperate obediently, I will treat you with courtesy, to ensure that Mr. Lu has no danger and survives this disaster safely…”
This statement is very peaceful. If he doesn’t think it over carefully, it seems that he can’t hear the threat. He said this not only to Lu Xian but also to the woman who had always turned her back on him.
When he finished his interrogation, the doctor also gave him acupuncture and moxibustion to relieve pain and treated the wound.
Lu Xian has been scared all along running away from the chase that he couldn’t sleep well. Now in the hands of the Military Officers and men, they are sleeping in a warm place and drinking hot soup.

Miantang sat on one side and didn’t speak until Lu Xian shouted thirsty in his dream. She then got up and went out to look for water.
But she didn’t expect that as soon as she got out of the tent, she saw the Military Master, Cui Jiu, standing upright. She didn’t know how long he had waited.
Miantang didn’t like to talk to liars, so she half drooped her eyelids and tried to avoid him in circles.
But Cui Jiu had enough of Liu Miantang’s cold eyes. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into the carriage.
“Let go, what are you doing? I’m going back to take care of my uncle!”
Cui Xingzhou remained unmoved and said, “He’s under the care of a Military Doctor and a servant I sent. Can you help with his urine or wipe it yourself? Why do you stay there?”
Miantang heard what his uncle said just now and believed it all. Her uncle said that she had previously admired Childe Ziyu, which coincided with the situation she had seen in her dream when she was getting along well with Childe Ziyu.

But later I found that someone in the Mountain of Yang was against you, and I was worried about you. So I kept you by my side to protect your safety wholeheartedly… But later, when I went out on the expedition, I was afraid that you would wait for me, and I was determined to let you live your own life. My divorce letter was written… My identity may be false, but when did my caring and affection for you fake?”
Liu Miantang was blocked from speaking. Just like Cui Xingzhou said, although he deceived her, he also saved her life. This is a book of gratitude and resentment that can not be calculated clearly.
But this fake Cui Jiu took it for granted, which was really annoying. She stared him straight in the eye and said, “So, I chased you for thousands of miles, that is to say, it was me who came sticking at you? When I finally slept with you for a few nights, it was also because I was excited by your appearance and stained your innocence.”
Cui Xingzhou took her by the hand and said slowly, “For this matter, you can’t blame me for it. If I hadn’t also drunk the wine you prepared, I wouldn’t have been like that… Who can resist the wine effect? You think I’m a eunuch and can remain sitting still.”
Liu Miantang’s anger reached the extreme, but her tone calmed down. She broke away from Cui Jiu’s embrace and knelt to solemnly salute, “In that case, the ancients said that the kindness of saving lives should be returned by pledging to marry the lifesaver. I have already done so. Thanks to the Military Master for not rejecting me and enjoying it. So let’s clear up our gratitude and resentment and say goodbye. I won’t take the title of the Military Master’s wife again, and ruin your reputation!”
After that, she got up, opened the suitcase, took the luggage and prepared to pack some clothes, and took them to the barracks later.
Her eldest uncle smuggled iron ore, and she could not escape the responsibility. She was also a member of the Lu family, so she naturally wanted to advance and retreat with her eldest uncle.
Cui Xingzhou never tolerated coaxing women, but today he talked all his good words, but Lady Liu was completely uninformed. She was determined to pack her bags and leave. She was really stubborn!
He strode over and stretched out his hand and lifted the cloth of the package!
Miantang stretched out her hand to grab it, but her wrist didn’t work well. She suddenly strained her old injury, which made her groan and shrinks up immediately.
Cui Xingzhou knew her old problems and immediately threw down the wrapper, frowned, and reached out to skillfully massage her hand points to ease the pain in her hands.
Since arriving in the Northwest, Cui Xingzhou has seriously learned some massage methods from Zhao Quan. When it rains and Miantang is in pain, he always “happens” to come back and massage her hands and feet…
As he said, his affection is indeed a little true…
The sweetness of their relationship is still in front of them. How can it be easily forgotten?
Miantang’s tears finally burst out. Big drops of soybeans fell on the back of Cui Xingzhou’s hand, which he was massaging.
Cui Xingzhou had never realized before that crying without choking could be so torturing. He put his arms around her and said with heartache, “Don’t cry. I’m not leaving you alone. It’s okay…”
But Miantang pushed him, “What’s your real name? Do you have wives and concubines?”
Liu Miantang suddenly remembered that, depending on his age, it was the time for a man to start a family and business. Moreover, his speech and behavior, including Servant Li, did not seem to come from an ordinary family.
If he has a wife, what is she? Isn’t it a mistress?
Cui Xingzhou avoided answering his name and only said what Miantang was most concerned about, “I have not got a wife…”
To be honest, for some reason, he suddenly felt very lucky that he had withdrawn from his cousin’s marriage before going out to fight. But if he says at this moment that he is Prince Huaiyang, that sentence “no wife” inevitably appears to be a little weak…
When he said it, Miantang relaxed slowly and realized that she had just held her breath. She waited and waited for him to say his name. However, he didn’t speak again. Obviously, he didn’t intend to tell her, which made her heart sink again.
After a while, her hand pain gradually eased, he then said, “Although it’s spring now, the Jinjia Checkpoint is in the valley, which is the source of the wind. It’s much colder than the Wuning Checkpoint. In a few days, when your uncle’s injury is stable, I will send someone and send him to the Wuning Checkpoint to recuperate. You should stay at home these days. Your uncle knows the bad doings of Prince Sui’s collusion with the enemy. He will certainly not give up. I will protect you all and never let anyone lay a finger on you.”
Miantang understands that Cui Xingzhou didn’t mean to scare herself. That Prince Sui of the State of Hui is really hard to deal with. There are only a few people around her uncle. If he is surrounded by the assassins of Prince Sui, his life will be at risk.
So after thinking for a while, she nodded slowly.
At this moment, Servant Li said cautiously outside the door, “Master, Madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat?”
Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang have suffered so much that they haven’t eaten, so Cui Xingzhou asks Servant Li to bring them food.
The food was cooked very diligently, with fine sprouts and hot and finely chopped bean jelly. It seems that they are all heat-clearing and reduce fire dishes.
Miantang couldn’t bear it. Cui Xingzhou quietly picked her some dishes and soup.
After eating, Miantang felt that Cui Xingzhou wanted to stay overnight. She silently got up and picked up the quilt and pillow to squeeze into the servant girl’s room.
Cui Xingzhou was angry when she saw that she was still at odds with him. She only said in a deep voice, “You stay and sleep. I’ll go.”
With this, he got up and went out of the house. After leaving the yard, he turned over and rode back to the Jinjia Checkpoint.
In the following days, Cui Xingzhou did not go to the Wuning Checkpoint again.
And he did what he said. After Lu Xian’s injury stabilized, he was sent to the Wuning Checkpoint.
Today, in the small courtyard of the Wuning Checkpoint, there are distinct factions.
Servant Li and Fan Hu have both exposed their identities as watchers, and their status in the small yard has plummeted.
Fang Xie and Bi Cao swore to heaven that they were sold by human traffic. After proving that they didn’t know the identity of Master Cui at all, they managed to maintain their loyalty to their Madam’s heart and occasionally got a smile from her.
The rest were ignored by the Madam.
Now that Lu Xian has recovered some strength, he can talk with his niece.
However, he decided not to tell Miantang her identity on the Mountain of Yang. That kind of identity is too frightening. If it is known to others, Miantang will no longer be able to marry and have children like ordinary women and live a safe life.
After all, which man dares to marry the female thief who rose in the Mountain of Yang? Even if he was Liu Miantang’s uncle, he was sometimes frightened by his niece’s boldness.
To be honest, with that memory, her niece can’t be integrated into any homestead in her whole life. Can you expect a female thief who dares to lead a revolt with her followers and live an ordinary life with her husband and child?
But Liu Miantang lost her memory, and all the thrilling and exciting memories on the Mountain of Yang were wiped out in her mind.
As an elder, Lu Xian felt that this was God’s pity for Miantang.
It’s just that she has been cheated into being a married couple for nearly two years now. As her uncle, he sighed for a while. He always felt sorry for his younger sister, who died early. He didn’t take good care of his niece, and let her make mistakes step by step.
“Miantang, did he tell you his name and identity?” Lu Xian asked tentatively when his niece was giving him medicine.
Miantang’s hand paused, lowered her eyelids, and said, “It doesn’t matter whether he said it or not. Judging from the speech from Servant Li he assigned to me, he is of high birth and should be of an official aristocratic family… I know very well that I am not of the same kind as him. After the matter of Prince Sui is settled, if he keeps his promise, we will leave the Northwest and go back to find my grandfather…”
Lu Xian didn’t expect that his niece would not drag at all. She had decided in her heart. From this point of view, Miantang’s temperament is the same as that before she lost her memory.
“But… You and him… If it is publicized…”
Miantang didn’t want her uncle to worry too much about herself, she put her tone as light as possible, “I’m not a famous person where people all over the world can know me. Where can I not earn a living when I go out of the Northwest in the future? These are just things where people live together when they are in trouble. How many temporary couples were there in the countryside where people fled in the past? When they settled down stably, the exposed couples scattered. I didn’t see anyone who wanted to die and let the other party be responsible to the end!”
Miantang’s statement is true. In the folk countryside, at the critical moment of life and death, people want to find a way to survive. That kind of chastity and reputation is for the women in the high noble’s houses like the Marquis’s Mansion. If they are placed in the mud pit of the humble people, the chastity of thousands of daughters can’t be more useful than the steamed bread that cost 2 cents!
So Miantang didn’t take her chastity too seriously. And… The person she slept with is not a greasy fat man.
Although Cui Jiu is known to be a liar, he is so good-looking that she can’t find fault with being thin or fat, or having some other disease. Even when he deceives people, his handsome appearance can show some affection.
Miantang asked herself these days and felt that she could not be counted as a loss. Although she can’t pick a man to compare with Cui Xingzhou in her memory, it’s really hard to find such a man in the world. Besides his appearance, it’s even harder to pick a man with a good waist.
Fortunately, Cui Jiu has both… So Miantang’s heart is getting clearer and clearer. She feels that even if she has infatuated her heart with the wrong person, she is not at much loss.
However, not everyone is as open-minded as she is.
After Miantang finished feeding him the medicine, she was going out to get his meal. When he lifted the curtain, Cui Xingzhou, who had not been seen for several days, stood in front of the door with a tight face. She doesn’t know how much he listened to what she and her uncle said.
Miantang has reviewed herself in recent days. She felt that she was a bit ignorant of the present state of affairs because of her stiff words with him the other day. After the sensitivity and obstinacy of the romantic girl faded, the flattering Lady Liu appeared.
“Military Master Cui is back? Why are you standing at the door? It’s windy here. Hurry in and sit in the room… Have you eaten? I asked Servant Li to make your favorite stew.” Miantang smiled and greeted him warmly.
She can’t help it. Both she and her uncle have to live under the breath of the Military Master. They must always be decent in the face. Being polite and courteous is the rule of the world.
How can Cui Xingzhou not see that she is dealing with himself? Look at that smiling gallantry! It’s exactly the same as when she met some stupid big customers with a lot of money in the porcelain shop in Lingquan Town!
And according to what she said just now, he is just a bowl of porridge to satisfy her hunger. If she has other food to eat, she can forget about him… Women are like villains, and their nature is cold and difficult to feed. He has thoroughly understood the ancient holy teachings.
It’s just that they have been separated for so many days, but she still looks like she has pink cheeks and gentle eyes, as if she doesn’t have too much lovesickness.
Looking at her smiling red cherry lips, Cui Xingzhou only felt that there was a rush of blood jumping uncontrollably in his blood vessels…
Cui Xingzhou had a bad time these days. His “old illness” recurred and he began to lose sleep every night.
His Young Servant, Mo Ru, has been working hard as well. When his Master practices boxing under the moon, he has to wait with a kettle and a towel. The eyes of the Master and Servant both turned red in recent days.
Mo Ru thought that it was not a good way to endure like this, so he guessed The Master’s intention and tried to ask The Prince if he wanted to go back to the medicine shop of the Wuning Checkpoint to find some medicine to drink.
At that time, The Prince didn’t say anything, but just lowered his head to write the documents. After a long time, he asked him to prepare his horse and go to the Wuning Checkpoint. It seems that he has adopted his proposal.
But now Mo Ru can see that the medicine that can cure The Prince is not in the medicine chest drawer of the medicine shop, but the doorway of the small yard.
But that “medicine” is so greasy that it’s not easy to eat. It’s really not a good thing!
As the saying goes, “Never hit a smiling person”. Miantang is no longer angry with himself, and she has finally made some progress. Cui Xingzhou tried to relax his face and said, “I want to eat your spicy fried food…”
Miantang is not only good at stir-frying crabs but also sliced meat.
After listening to the Military Master’s order, Miantang immediately nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll make two kinds for you.”
Those two responded calmly and freely as if they had not torn their faces and had a fierce argument the other day.
That “Military Master” is too harsh! Cui Xingzhou never thought that he would miss that soft, sweet, and clingy calling of “husband”…
Miantang took Cui Xingzhou’s food list and went to the kitchen to prepare meals.
A few days ago, she was in a bad mood, and she also gave a lot of cold faces to Servant Li. Now she has figured it out and feels that she has gone too far.
In any case, Servant Li has never wronged herself in her daily life. Her abdominal pain during the month has been alleviated by Servant Li’s herbal soup and careful care.
So while putting up an apron in the small kitchen, Miantang sincerely apologized to Servant Li and said “sorry”.
In this way, Lu Xian's words were mixed half-truly and half-falsely.Just a few years ago, their escort agency received a bid. It was a big escort from a young man named Ziyu in the Mountain of Yang. Thus they got to know Childe Ziyu and then became close friends.Later, by chance, Childe Ziyu had an ore business in the Northwest. The round-trip transportation had to be escorted by specially assigned personnel. At that time, the business of the escort agency was terrible. But hundreds of escorts in the escort agency are relying upon their business for meals.To make a living, Lu Xian ignored his niece's advice and decided to take risks. He volunteered to earn some fast money from smuggling.The Shenwei Escort Agency has the natural convenience of transportation from all corners of the world, and its network lines are ready-made. So the two sides cooperated until now. But later, he was surprised to learn that his niece had an accident, and he did not want to work for the Mountain of Yang anymore, so he proposed to hand it over.But no one has taken over from the Mountain of Yang. He is an old Jianghu man, and he sensed something wrong regarding this matter, so he arranged for the other people from the Shenwei Escort Agency to evacuate.However, they are still one step later, Prince Sui's men suddenly came chasing them, and they fight dirty with no mercy. Fortunately, many people on the barbarian side have deep friendships with them, so they escaped here.However, he was seriously injured, so his escort, Liu Kun, went to the city to buy medicine. He accidentally saw Miantang and stayed for a few days, waiting to meet her.Cui Xingzhou listened quietly and suddenly asked, Did you leave Liu Miantang alone on the Mountain of Yang when you went to the Northwest to transport coal?Miantang also looked up at her uncle. At this time, she remembered what Servant Li had said before that she was the mistress of Childe Ziyu.At that time, she thought it was ridiculous, but now She thinks it may be true.Lu Xian gritted his teeth. Knowing that his niece's relationship with Ziyu could not be concealed thus, he told Miantang the truth so that Miantang would not be bothered by Ziyu in the future.It's also because I didn't take good care of Miantang. Miantang was young at that time, and the girls in the boudoir were just beginning to fall in love with each other. That Ziyu was a gentle young man, so they had some ambiguous feelings Miantang was good at accounting, so she took care of the daily accounts of the stronghold for that Ziyu. However, Miantang was a good child, and naturally abided by the etiquette of great defense before he talked about marriage with Ziyu. It's just that Ziyu was amorous. Besides provoking my niece, he also fell in love with other women and was framed by other women. She was ready to leave early on, but she was drowned by someone Now the Mountain of Yang has been offered amnesty and enlistment. Even if Miantang takes care of his account, she will be pardoned. You won't be able to punish her for it, Official. As for the smuggling of ore deposits, it is all my greed and has nothing to do with others. Let the national law handle it! Prince Huaiyang believed what Lu Xian said. After all, no one knows better than him whether is Liu Miantang innocent or not.As for Miantang's encounter with being murdered, it was related to that Childe Ziyu's unfaithfulness. Lu Xian's words are not too different from his previous conjectures.After receiving the confession from the Shenwei Escort Agency, he sent someone to inquire about it carefully. The old grandson of Prince Sui's wrongdoings evidence is all in his hand now.If his previous words of deceiving Miantang had not been exposed in confusion, today's trip to the shabby temple would have been fruitful.Thinking of this, looking at Lu Xian's pale and haggard face, Cui Xingzhou reassured him, According to the law, you should be beheaded for smuggling iron ore. But if Mr. Lu can cooperate obediently, I will treat you with courtesy, to ensure that Mr. Lu has no danger and survives this disaster safelyThis statement is very peaceful. If he doesn't think it over carefully, it seems that he can't hear the threat. He said this not only to Lu Xian but also to the woman who had always turned her back on him.When he finished his interrogation, the doctor also gave him acupuncture and moxibustion to relieve pain and treated the wound.Lu Xian has been scared all along running away from the chase that he couldn't sleep well. Now in the hands of the Military Officers and men, they are sleeping in a warm place and drinking hot soup.The hard work and heavy injuries all the way were unbearable to the iron man, so Lu Xian took the sleeping pills and went to sleep.Miantang sat on one side and didn't speak until Lu Xian shouted thirsty in his dream. She then got up and went out to look for water.But she didn't expect that as soon as she got out of the tent, she saw the Military Master, Cui Jiu, standing upright. She didn't know how long he had waited.Miantang didn't like to talk to liars, so she half drooped her eyelids and tried to avoid him in circles.But Cui Jiu had enough of Liu Miantang's cold eyes. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into the carriage.Let go, what are you doing? I'm going back to take care of my uncle!Cui Xingzhou remained unmoved and said, He's under the care of a Military Doctor and a servant I sent. Can you help with his urine or wipe it yourself? Why do you stay there?Miantang heard what his uncle said just now and believed it all. Her uncle said that she had previously admired Childe Ziyu, which coincided with the situation she had seen in her dream when she was getting along well with Childe Ziyu.However, she was unexpectedly harmed by someone and cut off the tendons of her hands and legs. Who was the person who did this cruel thing to her? Miantang still has many questions to ask her uncle.Now she doesn't want to think about Cui Xingzhou's bad debt of using herself as bait, and she doesn't want to talk to him again.But Cui Xingzhou was determined to speak all out with her.He won't blame her because she was young, didn't know people clearly, and helped tyrants. But now she has committed herself to him. Even if they haven't gotten married, she is his woman.She is almost nineteen now, and she is not a child. She should know something about the ways of the world. Although when he was in the shabby temple, he deliberately didn't hide from her and was slapped by her to relieve her anger. But she should also understand that it is not always possible for her to act according to her temperament like a shrew, then does she want to continue living?So when the carriage entered the Wuning Checkpoint and arrived at Miantang's temporary residence, Cui Xingzhou pulled her down, ignoring Servant Li and the servant girls who greeted them all the way.Servant Li was anxious to let Miantang go out of the city alone. She didn't know if she had met with anything unexpected. Unexpectedly, she watched The Prince pull Miantang back into the house with a grim face.Although she has long known that Miantang's identity is not simple, she also knows that The Prince is just using Lady Liu.But at the moment when the scam was uncovered, Servant Li still felt a sigh in her heart.These days, how The Prince and Lady Liu are, she sees everything in her eyes. Even a true couple cannot be compared to their loveliness.Unfortunately, the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water are not permanent.Now the mirror is broken and the moon is hidden. The scam set by The Prince has finally come to an end.She just hopes that The Prince will remember his love these days and leave a way for Lady Liu to survive.After Cui Xingzhou entered the house, he closed the door tightly.Miantang felt that she hadn't noticed Cui Xingzhou's rudeness before. How could he look like a gentleman? She touch her wrists which were in pain after his grab, laughed in anger, and looked at Cui Xingzhou sarcastically.For a while, without Lady Liu's treating him with courtesy and showing consideration to help him undress and poured water, Prince Huaiyang poured two glasses of water for himself. After drinking one, he poured another one for Miantang and handed it to her.But Miantang didn't take it, only turned her eyes coldly and didn't look at Cui Jiu.Cui Xingzhou felt that her face was slightly puffed up, like an angry child, so he held her in his arms, pressed her against the tip of her nose, and asked in a low voice, Haven't you released your temper yet?Miantang admired his skill of making big things smaller. How brazen he is to pretend to be someone else's husband without shame?She turned her beautiful eyes and looked askance at him. Do teach me how to calm down and not be angry when a young woman was cheated of her innocence and chastity, Military Master Cui.Cui Xingzhou felt that he should talk with her about the reason carefully, so he thought carefully and said, You were seriously injured at the beginning. I ordered someone to help you out of the water and treat you wholeheartedly. I always deserve the name of a lifesaver, right?Liu Miantang didn't speak, but her eyes were slowly turning red and misting.Cui Xingzhou looked down at her and said nothing. Think again. I never deceived you into calling me husband at first. You mistook me and just called me husband on your own.You You Liu Miantang was so angry that she could not speak. She pointed her finger at his nose.Cui Xingzhou held her hand, then he said, At first, I wanted to use you to lure the followers of the Mountian of Yang sect. But later I found that someone in the Mountain of Yang was against you, and I was worried about you. So I kept you by my side to protect your safety wholeheartedly But later, when I went out on the expedition, I was afraid that you would wait for me, and I was determined to let you live your own life. My divorce letter was written My identity may be false, but when did my caring and affection for you fake?Liu Miantang was blocked from speaking. Just like Cui Xingzhou said, although he deceived her, he also saved her life. This is a book of gratitude and resentment that can not be calculated clearly.But this fake Cui Jiu took it for granted, which was really annoying. She stared him straight in the eye and said, So, I chased you for thousands of miles, that is to say, it was me who came sticking at you? When I finally slept with you for a few nights, it was also because I was excited by your appearance and stained your innocence.Cui Xingzhou took her by the hand and said slowly, For this matter, you can't blame me for it. If I hadn't also drunk the wine you prepared, I wouldn't have been like that Who can resist the wine effect? You think I'm a eunuch and can remain sitting still.Liu Miantang's anger reached the extreme, but her tone calmed down. She broke away from Cui Jiu's embrace and knelt to solemnly salute, In that case, the ancients said that the kindness of saving lives should be returned by pledging to marry the lifesaver. I have already done so. Thanks to the Military Master for not rejecting me and enjoying it. So let's clear up our gratitude and resentment and say goodbye. I won't take the title of the Military Master's wife again, and ruin your reputation!After that, she got up, opened the suitcase, took the luggage and prepared to pack some clothes, and took them to the barracks later.Her eldest uncle smuggled iron ore, and she could not escape the responsibility.

Cui Xingzhou quietly picked her some dishes and soup.After eating, Miantang felt that Cui Xingzhou wanted to stay overnight. She silently got up and picked up the quilt and pillow to squeeze into the servant girl's room.Cui Xingzhou was angry when she saw that she was still at odds with him.

Even when he deceives people, his handsome appearance can show some affection.Miantang asked herself these days and felt that she could not be counted as a loss. Although she can't pick a man to compare with Cui Xingzhou in her memory, it's really hard to find such a man in the world. Besides his appearance, it's even harder to pick a man with a good waist.Fortunately, Cui Jiu has both So Miantang's heart is getting clearer and clearer. She feels that even if she has infatuated her heart with the wrong person, she is not at much loss.However, not everyone is as open-minded as she is.After Miantang finished feeding him the medicine, she was going out to get his meal. When he lifted the curtain, Cui Xingzhou, who had not been seen for several days, stood in front of the door with a tight face. She doesn't know how much he listened to what she and her uncle said.Miantang has reviewed herself in recent days. She felt that she was a bit ignorant of the present state of affairs because of her stiff words with him the other day. After the sensitivity and obstinacy of the romantic girl faded, the flattering Lady Liu appeared.Military Master Cui is back? Why are you standing at the door? It's windy here. Hurry in and sit in the room Have you eaten? I asked Servant Li to make your favorite stew. Miantang smiled and greeted him warmly.She can't help it. Both she and her uncle have to live under the breath of the Military Master. They must always be decent in the face. Being polite and courteous is the rule of the world.How can Cui Xingzhou not see that she is dealing with himself? Look at that smiling gallantry! It's exactly the same as when she met some stupid big customers with a lot of money in the porcelain shop in Lingquan Town!And according to what she said just now, he is just a bowl of porridge to satisfy her hunger. If she has other food to eat, she can forget about him Women are like villains, and their nature is cold and difficult to feed. He has thoroughly understood the ancient holy teachings.It's just that they have been separated for so many days, but she still looks like she has pink cheeks and gentle eyes, as if she doesn't have too much lovesickness.Looking at her smiling red cherry lips, Cui Xingzhou only felt that there was a rush of blood jumping uncontrollably in his blood vesselsCui Xingzhou had a bad time these days. His old illness recurred and he began to lose sleep every night.His Young Servant, Mo Ru, has been working hard as well. When his Master practices boxing under the moon, he has to wait with a kettle and a towel. The eyes of the Master and Servant both turned red in recent days.Mo Ru thought that it was not a good way to endure like this, so he guessed The Master's intention and tried to ask The Prince if he wanted to go back to the medicine shop of the Wuning Checkpoint to find some medicine to drink.At that time, The Prince didn't say anything, but just lowered his head to write the documents. After a long time, he asked him to prepare his horse and go to the Wuning Checkpoint. It seems that he has adopted his proposal.But now Mo Ru can see that the medicine that can cure The Prince is not in the medicine chest drawer of the medicine shop, but the doorway of the small yard.But that medicine is so greasy that it's not easy to eat. It's really not a good thing!As the saying goes, Never hit a smiling person. Miantang is no longer angry with himself, and she has finally made some progress. Cui Xingzhou tried to relax his face and said, I want to eat your spicy fried foodMiantang is not only good at stir-frying crabs but also sliced meat.After listening to the Military Master's order, Miantang immediately nodded and said, Sure, I'll make two kinds for you.Those two responded calmly and freely as if they had not torn their faces and had a fierce argument the other day.That Military Master is too harsh! Cui Xingzhou never thought that he would miss that soft, sweet, and clingy calling of husbandMiantang took Cui Xingzhou's food list and went to the kitchen to prepare meals.A few days ago, she was in a bad mood, and she also gave a lot of cold faces to Servant Li. Now she has figured it out and feels that she has gone too far.In any case, Servant Li has never wronged herself in her daily life. Her abdominal pain during the month has been alleviated by Servant Li's herbal soup and careful care.So while putting up an apron in the small kitchen, Miantang sincerely apologized to Servant Li and said sorry.
