Back at the Hou Mansion, Du Shiniang looked at Hu Sanniang who had been following Cao Bin and asked:
"Is this...the new sister?"
When Hu Sanniang heard this, her face turned red and she immediately shook her head and said:
"This...sister has misunderstood. I was recruited by my uncle to lead the army."
Although she knew her brother Hu Cheng's purpose of handing her over to Cao Bin, she did not completely return to her heart after all, and Cao Bin did not make his position clear.
Now she only thinks of herself as Cao Bin's subordinate.
Du Shiniang looked at her suspiciously for a long time, then rolled her eyes at Cao Bin.
It seems to be saying, since she is a female general leading troops, why not follow her soldiers to the barracks outside the city?
Cao Bin smiled and said:
"You just think of her as my personal general, and she will live in the house to protect your safety from now on."
"As for leading troops, if there is a chance to go on an expedition, I will naturally take her with me..."
Regarding Hu Sanniang, he was not in a hurry. Now that she was under his command, there would always be a day when she could completely return to her heart.
What's more, she has a submissive nature.
In the original work, Liangshan killed all her family members, so didn’t she still marry Wang Aohu?
In the evening, Cao Bin held a family dinner in the back garden.
He was hugging her from left to right and was enjoying herself. Suddenly the maid came to report that Xishi was in the Bazhenfang and asked to see her.
Cao Bin couldn't help but glance at Du Shiniang in confusion: "Isn't she sick? Why did she come so late at night?"
However, he didn't dwell on it, and after letting them continue, he walked to the front hall alone.
Seeing this, Hu Sanniang quickly wiped her mouth and followed with the knife.
She has consciously assumed the role of guard.
"Uncle...Cao, I apologize!"
Sai Xishi was a little excited, with a slightly sick look on his face.
She looked even more beautiful at this time, with her red cheeks giving her a different kind of charm.
As soon as people see it, they can think of the description of sick Xishi.
It seemed that the long period of psychological torture had really tortured her.
After finally meeting Cao Bin, she almost couldn't wait to salute and looked at Cao Bin with burning eyes.
Seeing her so haggard and humble, Cao Bin instantly regretted following Li Yun's idea.
He quickly walked over and helped Sai Xishi up:
"Sister, there is no need for this. I have never taken this matter to heart..."
"No!"
Sai Xishi said shamefully.
"Not only did I wrong you, I also scolded you in public..."
"If you don't come and apologize, I'll have a bad conscience!"
"Xiao Yi blames me too, blaming me for not knowing right from wrong."
Cao Bin helped her to the chair and said with a smile:
"I know that my sister is an upright, kind-hearted, affectionate and righteous woman. I'm not surprised that you scolded me then!"
"On the contrary, I admire you as a person. I admire you for not being afraid of powerful people and for daring to speak and act."
"I admire your understanding of justice and your ability to distinguish right from wrong!"
"I also understand your painstaking efforts. In fact, I should thank you!"
Hearing this, Hu Sanniang outside the door was shocked and seemed to have thought of something.
But Sai Xishi's eye circles were already starting to turn red. She looked at Cao Bin and said:
"It turns out that the meaning of friends you mentioned is that you understand me, but I have been blinded and blinded by secular rumors, and I have been misunderstanding you."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of Cao Bin's lonely expression when he left Bazhenfang, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
Tears also fell down, and he said: "If I treat you like that, you... I am such a fool!"
Cao Bin did not expect that her original temporary performance would make her create many associations and make up countless stories in her mind.
Little did he know that the greater a person's mood swings, the easier it is to fall into oneself.
Especially people with strong personalities find it most difficult to understand the emotion of guilt.
She has been immersed in this emotion for more than two months since Cao Bin left Beijing.
During this period, she was thinking wildly every day, and she had no idea how many heart-wrenching stories she had filled in her head.
If you don't vent it out, you may suffer from depression.
It can only be said that Li Yun's idea is too effective, but also too immoral!
But she didn't expect that Cao Bin would be gone for such a long time.
Although Cao Bin did not understand the twists and turns, he did not prevent him from seizing the opportunity.
He stepped forward and wiped Sai Xishi's tears, stared at her seriously and said:
"Stop crying, what do you see in my eyes?"
Sai Xishi was stunned for a moment, stopped crying immediately, and asked doubtfully: "What?"
"You! My eyes are all about you, so how can I blame you?"
Seeing Sai Xishi's confused expression, Cao Bin secretly felt embarrassed and quickly used his ultimate move, bowing his head and becoming depressed.
"Don't......"
The sudden spring tide almost caused her to fall into it.
It took a long time for Sai Xishi to react, and she quickly pushed Cao Bin away and breathed hard:
"I, that's not what I meant, please don't misunderstand..."
Cao Bin was not willing to let go, hugged her tightly and said, "But that's what I meant!"
Sai Xishi struggled and said:
"No...no, I'm a widow!"
"I just like widows!"
"I'm... twenty-seven years old, much older than you."
"Girls in college have a little bit of everything!"
"I also want to support my late husband and my children."
"I took care of this brother!"
In the end, Sai Xishi found that he was at a loss for words.
I don’t know where Cao Bin heard so many fallacies.
Although she resisted in her heart, she unconsciously felt some warmth.
It turns out that he really doesn't dislike himself.
However, she had never thought about this before. She pushed Cao Bin away with all her strength and said in panic:
"Don't be like this. If you are rude again, I will leave."
Seeing her resistance, Cao Bin knew that he was a little anxious.
However, since she did not leave directly, it means that she is not completely unable to accept herself, she is just a little bit angry.
"Sister, I'm sorry, it was me who made things difficult for you."
With that said, he let go of Sai Xishi and tried:
"I'm holding a family dinner. If sister doesn't mind, can I tell you about Shandong?"
Although Sai Xishi was a bit blamed for his rudeness, he was very curious about Cao Bin's experience in Shandong. He hesitated for a long time before nodding in agreement.
After all, she still has a lot of affection for Cao Bin, otherwise she would not let go of the previous things lightly.
When she went out, she saw Hu Sanniang guarding the door. Thinking of the scene just now, she couldn't help but blush.
Hu Sanniang was also embarrassed, but she pretended to be nonchalant and followed them leisurely.
After everyone greeted each other, Cao Bin proudly talked about his experience in Shandong.
Even Hu Sanniang only knew what happened in the last month, and she was confused.
Under Cao Bin's careful explanation, I felt like I suddenly understood.
Especially the experience of relying on hundreds of people in Caihezhuang to resist thousands of people in Liangshan made her blood boil.
The other three women were different. They were more worried and scared. They didn't expect Cao Bin to experience such a dangerous scene...
