After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

419 Do you know his identity?

Xiao Hanzheng also did not like Zhuo Zheng.

“I’m not familiar with you, so you don’t have to address me as Brother Xiao,” he said indifferently.

Zhuo Zheng wanted to pout, but he resisted the urge. “Then what should I address you?”

“I’m the county magistrate of this county. You can call me Mr Xiao from now on,” Xiao Hanzheng said.

Zhuo Zheng was speechless.

He was just a small county Magistrate. Why was his attitude like this? He was really annoying.

However, this was Xiao Hanzheng’s territory, and he did not want to arouse Shi Qingluo’s disgust.

Hence, he smiled obediently. “Alright, Mr Xiao.”

Xiao Hanzheng realized that although Zhuo Zheng was young, he was quite scheming.

Then, he looked at Yue Lu and was shocked.

He didn’t show it on his face. “And this is? ”

Shi Qingluo understood her little husband very well.

She caught his momentary daze.

It meant that the young husband should have known Yue Lu in his previous life.

“This is Xi Rong’s friend, Yue Lu. He also came to Heyang County from Northern City,” she said with a smile.

Yue Lu was more tactful. He smiled and cupped his hands to Xiao Hanzheng. “Hello, Mr Xiao!”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded to Yue Lu. “Good day, Young Master Yue!”

Shi Qingluo then introduced Taoist master Chang Qing to Xiao Hanzheng and greeted him.

Seeing that many passersby were looking over, Xiao Hanzheng said, “Let’s go back to the courtyard and talk.”

“Alright!”

The group of them went to the county government’s office, where the courtyard was almost fully renovated.

There were new tables and chairs in the living room.

Xiao Hanzheng led them in and ordered the maidservant to serve tea.

Everyone was tired from the long journey, so they casually drank some tea and prepared to go back and take a rest.

As usual, Xi Rong was prepared to stay at an inn, so she naturally brought Yue Lu there.

Taoist master Chang Qing was considered an honored guest, so Shi Qingluo arranged for him to stay in the newly renovated guest courtyard in the county office.

“Elder sister, am I also staying in the guest house?” Zhuo Zheng asked with a well-behaved smile.

Shi Qingluo shook her head. “I’ve only just met you. We’re not that close. Didn’t you bring money? You can follow Young Master Yue to the inn.”

Zhuo Zheng uttered under his breath, this woman is so cruel. She actually asked me to stay in an inn.

If he had known earlier, he would have said that he couldn’t bring his money bag with him when he escaped.

He looked at Shi Qingluo pitifully and said, “Sister, I’m afraid of staying here alone. Please let me stay in the guest courtyard. I’ll pay for the accommodation.”

Shi Qingluo shook her head again. “That’s not appropriate.

“There are quite a lot of people in the inn. Besides, Young Master Yue is also staying in the inn, so you’re not staying alone.”

She wasn’t prepared to keep Zhuo Zheng by her side.

The people working in the county yamen were complicated, and Zhuo Zheng could easily take advantage of them.

Seeing Shi Qingluo’s determination, Zhuo Zheng could only force a smile. “Alright then.”

Xiao Hanzheng was very decisive to ask the servant beside him to send Zhuo Zheng to the inn.

Xiao Hanzheng still had things to do, so he sent Shi Qingluo back to the courtyard.

He pressed her down and kissed her before going back to his office.

Shi Qingluo realized that the layout of the bedroom was very similar to the one in Xiaxi Village.

The furniture was all brand new.

There was also a bathroom and showering area that were connected to the bedroom.

Her young hubby had put in a lot of effort.

She went to take a shower, and after her hair was dry, she went to sleep.

The carriage was at full speed all the way, and the road was particularly bumpy. She was really tired.

After a long time, when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Hanzheng half-lying next to her and flipping through an account book.

Xiao Hanzheng saw that his wife had woken up.

He put down the account book and looked at her with tenderness. “You’re awake? ”

Shi Qingluo sat up and saw that the sky had turned dark. “It’s already so late! Why didn’t you wake me up?”

She had always been very alert, but she was used to having her little husband by her side, so when he came in, she woke up without any warning.

“I couldn’t bear to wake you up since you were sleeping so soundly,” Xiao Hanzheng sneered.

Shi Qingluo stretched lazily. “I’m tired from the journey.”

Xiao Hanzheng wrapped his arms around her waist. “You’ll probably be tired later.”

Shi Qingluo glanced at him. “You can’t control yourself after you’ve started? ”

Her young hubby’s energy was not ordinary.

Of course, she liked it.

Xiao Hanzheng put his head on her shoulder. “Of course. My wife is so beautiful and charming.”

Shi Qingluo lifted his chin. “Tsk, tsk. Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.”

When it came to sweet talking, he was already good at it.

Xiao Hanzheng leaned over and kissed her. “Then you should have a good taste.”

How could Shi Qingluo resist the temptation of beauty? She hugged him and responded.

When she woke up again, it was almost dawn.

Shi Qingluo’s entire body was weak and her stomach was famished.

She reached out and pinched Xiao Hanzheng’s waist.

Xiao Hanzheng opened his eyes and asked with a smile, “Are you hungry?”

Shi Qingluo said unhappily, “Nonsense. I haven’t even had dinner.”

Then, she was eaten by someone several times.

Xiao Hanzheng got up and lit the candle. “Shall I cook you a bowl of noodles? ”

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow. “You know how to cook noodles? ”

Xiao Han sneered. “Of course I know. When I was down and out, and wanted to live on my own, I naturally had to cook.

“It’s just that I haven’t tried cooking recently.”

After he woke up from his reincarnation, his mother and sister cooked in Xiaxi Village, and the chefs in the capital city were still here. He had never entered the kitchen.

“Wifey, do you want to try your husband’s cooking?”

Shi Qingluo put on his robe. “Of course I have to try it.

“I’ll go with you to the kitchen and watch you cook.”

Her heart felt warm and sweet.

It was not easy for a man to be willing to cook for his wife in this era.

As expected, her little hubby was the best.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Sure!”

After the two of them washed up, Xiao Hanzheng took Shi Qingluo’s hand and went to the kitchen.

The sky was still dark, so no one else in the courtyard had gotten up yet.

Xiao Hanzheng found the flour and started to knead it while Shi Qingluo stood by and watched.

She saw that he was rather unfamiliar at the start, but slowly, he seemed to have found the feeling and became more and more skilled.

“By the way, do you know Yue Lu?” she suddenly asked.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “I’ve met him at the northern border.”

Shi Qingluo knew that he was referring to her previous life. “Do you know about his identity? ”

She continued to talk about how Yue Lu and Xi Rong met.

Xiao Hanzheng previously only found it strange that Yue Lu would come back with Xi Rong, but he understood after listening to her.

“When I saw him previously, he was disabled and was the military counselor of a bandit gang.

“At that time, I was in charge of exterminating the bandits. Because of Yue Lu’s strategy, we were in a stalemate with the mountain stronghold for three months before we took it down.

“He’s a talent, but it’s a pity that when successfully took down that mountain, he was killed by the chief.”

Otherwise, he would have admired him and put him into good use.

However, when they successfully conquered that mountain, the chief of the mountain could not accept this fact. In order to vent his anger, he killed the other chiefs and the military counselor, Yue Lu.

Shi Qingluo was taken aback. “Ah, he actually used to hang out with bandits? ”

Then she thought of what Xiao Hanzheng had said. “You mean both of his legs are disabled? ”

Did that mean that the incident with the carriage had also happened in her previous life? However, Xi Rong had not appeared at that time, so Yue Lu had broken his leg.
