Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Mrs. Xue Wang forced a smile and said, "Lingyao is pure-hearted and straightforward, and very easy to get along with. She was bewitched by someone and did such a thing before. Ah Zhao, please be magnanimous and don't bother with her."

"Why should I be magnanimous and not bother with her?" Shen Zhaocai didn't want to give the Xue family face, so he said directly: "If I frame Xue Lingyao in the same way, will you be magnanimous and forgive me?"

Xue Wang's face changed, and her tone was no longer humble: "A Zhao, when did Lingyao frame you? It was clearly you who framed Lingyao and forced her to get engaged to Feng Laizi. For this, our family even borrowed 20,000 yuan from the Gao family."

"How can I be the one who framed your family for getting engaged to Feng Laizi? Didn't your daughter go to the Feng family and confess her love herself?"

Shen Zhao said coldly: "Also, borrowing money from the Gao family is your family's business. What does it have to do with me, Shen Zhao?"

Seeing that Shen Zhao refused to listen, Xue Wangshi felt even more disgusted. Before she could say anything, Zhang Shanyue came over, snatched the basket from her hand, poured the dumplings out onto the table, then poured the original dumplings back into the basket, stuffed it into Xue Wangshi's hand, and pushed her out.

"Go back now! You are not welcome in my house!"

After that, Zhang Shanyue pushed Xue Wang out of the courtyard and spat, "What the hell! Don't come to my house again!"

She thought that Mrs. Xue Wang really came to apologize, but it turned out not to be the case.

If I had known this would happen, I would not have been nice to her from the beginning!

Xue Wangshi was pushed out of the door by Zhang Shanyue and was seen by several neighbors. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

She returned home with the basket and started crying and cursing again.

He first cursed Shen Zhao that little bitch, then cursed Zhang Shanyue and the Shen family, and then he picked up a clothes-beating stick and went to Xue Yi's door and started beating him.

"You filthy thing! Why don't you just die? How dare you stay in the Xue family when you're still having an affair with a married woman at such a young age?"

After beating and scolding for a while, Mrs. Xue Wang's anger subsided a little. She returned to her room and said to Xue Lingyao, "Lingyao, I have told you so many times not to associate with that woman from the Gao family. Why didn't you listen? Is it so difficult to learn needlework from me at home?"

Xue Lingyao lowered her head and said nothing, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Didn't she know that Gao would associate with her brother? Now, Xue Yi has ruined the reputation of the Xue family.

Seeing her daughter crying, Mrs. Xue felt distressed and quickly hugged her to comfort her: "Mother, you are saying this for your own good. Although Gao is a wealthy family in Yuli Township, she has bad behavior and we cannot associate with her."

"Now she is having an affair with your brother again. Once the Qin family makes a fuss about it, your reputation will also be damaged. Do you understand?" Mrs. Xue Wang preached to her daughter earnestly.

Xue Lingyao nodded: "My daughter understands, please don't say anything."

She listened to her mother talking about this and that every day, and her ears were covered with calluses. She felt so uncomfortable.

It would be great if Qin Yi was here. I could tell him about all my grievances and he would speak softly to make me happy.

Xue Lingyao suddenly missed Qin Yi more than ever before and hoped that he would return home as soon as possible.

But my father said that anyone who went to serve at the border would not be able to come back for at least one or two years, unless his family paid him high replacement fees.

Money! Money is needed everywhere!
Xue Lingyao couldn't help crying again.

Why can't Daddy be as capable as Chief Shen and earn a lot of money for the family?
She looked at her mother and suddenly asked, "Mom, tell me the truth, am I really adopted by you?"

Mrs. Xue Wang was stunned: "Lingyao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xue Lingyao pursed her lips and said, "Shen Zhao and I look so much alike, could it be that we are really sisters?"

Xue Wang's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "How is it possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Xue Lingyao pushed her mother away and said resentfully, "Shen Zhao also said last time that I am the daughter of the Shen family."

Snapped!
Xue Wang was furious and slapped her daughter hard: "Are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing?"

Xue Lingyao covered her face and looked at her mother with disbelief: "You hit me? You actually hit me?"

Xue Wang pointed at her daughter with shaking fingers, tears streaming down her face: "How could you have such an idea?" "Wow~" Xue Lingyao burst into tears and pushed her mother's hand away: "You are really not my real mother! You are really not!"

She jumped up from the couch, turned around and rushed out.

Xue Wang was terrified and hugged her legs: "Lingyao! Lingyao! It's my fault. I shouldn't have hit you. It's my fault. You are indeed my daughter."

Outside the house, Xue Yi stood quietly by the window, listening to the noise made by the mother and daughter inside, with a sneer on his face.

One day, he will become a superior person and be looked up to by Xue's mother and daughter.

By then, I will return to them all the humiliation I have suffered over the years!

The weather is good today. Although it is a little cold and windy, the sun is shining and the sky is clear. It is a good day for traveling.

Shen Zhao and his parents took his cousin's ox cart to Dunhuang County.

The second brother Shen Heng followed behind on horseback.

"Dad, how many days will it take us to reach Dunhuang County?" Shen Zhao asked his father.

Shen Ang cracked the whip and said, "We'll be there in three or four days." This was mainly because ox carts moved slowly. If we rode horses, we would arrive in two days at most.

"Then where are we staying tonight?" Shen Zhao continued to ask.

Shen Ang smiled and said, "With your father here, of course we'll be at the post station."

Shen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

I am really afraid of sleeping outdoors.

Although you can buy a container to live in temporarily, it would be difficult to explain if someone saw you.

She glanced at her parents and second brother. They were all wearing respectable cotton robes and square scarves on their heads to protect themselves from the wind and sand.

Especially the second brother, he carried a crossbow on his back, a sword hung on his waist, and looked so dignified that at first glance you would think he was a child of some noble family.

It is true that clothes make the man, saddles make the horse, and dogs run happily with bells.

Shen Zhao couldn't help but chuckle as he thought about it.

Shen Heng looked at his sister in confusion: "Why are you laughing for no reason?"

Shen Zhao forced himself to stop smiling and said seriously, "My elder brother won a victory in the battle and wrote a letter saying that he would return to the interior of the country soon. He also said that Qin Yi and Gao Yingwei were left in Wulei City to guard the Protectorate."

"Really?" Shen Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Haha! It is indeed good news!"

Shen Ang turned around and asked his daughter, "Is your elder brother really coming back?"

"Yes." Shen Zhao nodded: "My elder brother said that he is already a battalion commander, with more than fifty soldiers under him. Later, more than fifty people were added. Now he leads more than a hundred soldiers."

Shen Ang smiled and said, "That's good." As a father, he was particularly pleased that his son was able to get promoted based on his military merits.

However, if it weren’t for the strong support of his daughter, his son probably wouldn’t have been so lucky.

Shen Zhao added: "My elder brother also said that their general is dead. I guess the court will hold him accountable."

"What? The general is dead?" Shen Ang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

The death of a commander is not a good thing, especially when the commander's identity is very special. (End of this chapter)
