Pampering Big Cat Wife

19

As for how these seven or eight men were beaten up, a person with a wise heart like the private advisor Cao, directly interpret it as the wife and children of the general's residence were probably always protected by someone in secret. Perhaps, even Tang Wan herself didn't know. Therefore, these seven or eight men could count as walking right into the trap. And this kind of explanation also won a group of magistracy officers' agreement. No one wanted to disturb the Zhao Shi Cheng couple at this time to ask this dumb and insensitive question.

Finally, the couple slowly separated. Zhao Shi Cheng wiped his face, a little embarrassed of his unrestrained actions just now. He turned towards private advisor Cao and was about to explain why that group of man fell to the ground, yet he didn't expect his subordinates already helped him think of a reason--

"Daren, furen is your lucky star as expected. The rumors in the capital were indeed not wrong!" Private advisor Cao pointed towards the several people who fell on the ground and smiled. "This group of bandits were probably related to the scribe and Eunuch Liu's case, only this time they were unlucky and actually even dared to put their hands on furen. That's why they taken down by the guards the general secretly ordered to protect furen."

When Zhao Shi Cheng heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When did the general's residence even start to hide secret guards? According to his stingy temper, it's definitely impossible to order a guard to secretly protect every family member. His money must be spent on where it was needed most. However, since private advisor Cao said it like this, he was happy to push the boat along with the current.

"That's great! Take these people to the yamen to wait for their trial! This official won't be returning to the yamen." He held his beloved wife in his arms lightly and turned to leave.

"Where is daren and furen going? Do you need some magistracy officers to escort you?" Private advisor Cao asked.

"There's no need. I'm only going to YingFeng pavilion. I won't be in trouble." To Zhao Shi Cheng's knowledge, Tang Wan with a strange strength was more useful than all the magistracy officers.

"What is daren going to do at YingFeng pavilion at this time?" Private advisor Cao was confused.

Zhao Shi Cheng didn't even answer yet, but Tang Wan quietly glared at private advisor Cao. This old lady was about die of hunger. Naturally, it was only the YingFeng pavilion that her husband opened that could still cook food for her to eat at this time. What is this stubborn old fellow doing asking so much questions and delaying her eating time?

However, private advisor Cao thoroughly misunderstood the expression in her eyes and thought that she was blaming him, this subordinate, for actually prying on his superior's intentions. He hurriedly changed the topic, "Since daren said you didn't need someone to escort, then this servant will take the men back to the yamen first with the magistracy officers. Daren and furen, take care."

Zhao Shi Cheng nodded his head and rushed to bring his beloved wife out to eat a midnight snack.

As for private advisor Cao, he stared at Tang Wan's figure, lost in thought.

As expected, this wife of Zhao daren, isn't simple...

Zhao Shi Cheng successfully covered the news of the matter of Tang Wan being ambushed because only his people saw it. Before he finished interrogating the seven or eight men who was caught late at night, it was best to first not reveal the news because he discovered that this group of people weren't ordinary bandit, but an organization. It would be better if they could round-up the whole group in one go, or else there will be endless troubles in the future.

Nevertheless, after experiencing this matter, he didn't dare to keep Tang Wan in the general's residence by herself anymore. He might as well bring both her and Xiao Chun to the official residence. It didn't affect his work and also spared the couple from separating and longing for each other everyday.
