Cui Zhen stood there, watching Zou Linshi and Zou Xiang without saying anything for a long time.
Gu Mingzhu helped Zou Lin lie down. When Zou Lin's condition was exhausted, it took a lot of effort to explain these clearly. He became more and more depressed and needed a good rest, otherwise he might break his anger at any time.
Gu Mingzhu whispered: "Auntie in the clan has said everything, so let the elder brother check what happened next."
Zou Lin glanced at Cui Zhen expectantly.
Cui Zhen came to his senses at this time: "What my aunt said about Geng Si should be still in the Marquis' Mansion. I will ask him, as well as Aunt Sun and the doctor who was a man who came to the mansion to take the pulse."
Zou Lin nodded and then fell on Zou Xiang. Zou Xiang's lips trembled, half of his body lay on the kang, holding Zou Lin's hand tightly.
Cui Zhen looked at Zou Xiang deeply for a while, then turned around and walked out of the house. He needed to think about it carefully.
In the years after he married Zhang, Datong was busy with military affairs and his mind was on the garrison. He was not concerned about the inner house at home, and always felt that there was no big mistake. Which family did not live like this? As long as they restrained their concubines, they did not have any incidents of favoring concubines and killing their wives. The legitimate and illegitimate women knew that the rest were the trivial matters in the inner house. Are these important than military affairs?
Zhang was his wife, and she was both prosperous and inflated with the Dingning Marquis' Mansion. She was so gentle on weekdays and thought about him everywhere, for fear that her mother would be unhappy and would not even interact with her parents' home.
In his eyes, he thought that Zhang was a good mistress, but he didn't know that there was something so lush behind it. It was a life of human beings, and it was just for nothing to be lost in her hands.
After returning from Shanxi, he rectified his inner house, and Zhang did not interfere and put his spies in it. Zhang also had the attitude of letting him go. He really couldn't see how ambitious Zhang had. If Yao Qing had not survived, who could have figured out what happened back then?
Cui Zhen suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if he was shot by an arrow. In the past, he was quite satisfied with himself. Weiyuan Guard, Yulin Guard, Datong Right Guard, including Baoan Fort, Juema Fort, Jimen Fort, and Zhenhe Fort were abandoned when he took over, but now he is strong and the rebels in Linsi are unable to shake any of them.
He led the cavalry battle formation forward, his chess was brightly waving in the wind, and facing the strongest Tatar cavalry, he also had the confidence to be invincible in the battle.
He always felt that he had done well enough and was so glorious in front of others, but now he was ashamed. He was completely defeated, not in front of the enemy, but in his own hands. Since his indifference began after his father's death, he harmed too many people, his concubines, his children...
When Cui Zhen came to his senses, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was blocked that there was no trace of light. Someone stood there with a wind lamp in front of Zou Lin's door.
Cui Zhen looked over the wind lamp, Zhuzhu was talking to the doctor, and the two were discussing Zou Lin's condition. Zou Lin's statement was right. Thanks to her not taking Zou Xiang to the Marquis' Mansion in Dingning. If she had taken Zou Xiang to the Marquis' Mansion, there would not be such a result. Zou Lin would probably have been gone long ago, Zou Xiang... It may be a situation.
"Marty Dingning," the manager's mother whispered, "Our Martyr is waiting for you in the study."
Cui Zhen said: "How is it in the flower hall?"
The manager's mother said, "Don't worry, our marquis said that we set up a small table in the study and would not be with the women if we wanted to talk to you."
This would not arouse suspicion from the female family. Cui Zhen nodded. This should have been Zhuzhu's instructions. My aunt in the garden obviously didn't know what Zou Xiang was going to do, so it would be impossible for her to cover it up.
When Zhuzhu was seriously ill, his aunt said, "Don't look at Zhuzhu can't speak, but I think she knows everything."
Is this true? So Zhuzhu recovered from the illness and took over the affairs of the inner house so quickly. Even a 16-year-old girl could do so properly, but his Dingning Marquis Mansion was airtight everywhere.
Cui Zhen walked into the study thinking about it.
Gu Chongyi stood in the room and saw Cui Zhen. He sighed and said, "Sit down, drink water first, calm down."
Cui Zhen nodded.
After Cui Zhen calmed down, Gu Chongyi said, "Is what your aunt said true?"
Cui Zhen's expression looked calm, but his voice was slightly lower than before: "Now it sounds 80% true. Yao Qing was taken to the Marquis' Mansion by his mother. It was not easy for her to do anything in the inner house. If she knew that she was pregnant, she would tell my mother immediately. After all, she was not even a concubine at that time. Even if she had the scheming to conceal her pregnancy to deal with the two concubines, after escaping from death, she should try every means to send me a letter, at least to let Zou Xiang enter the Marquis' Mansion in Dingning.
I have no children, and I will be very happy to have a concubine. I may not be exempted from her crime. The future is long, and with Zou Xiang, her situation is always much better than being away from home. Moreover, the clan aunt explained the past clearly and mentioned Jiang Mama and Geng Si. If they lie, they would be vague in these details..."
Gu Chongyi nodded: "It's rare that you can think clearly so quickly. If you could have some energy in the inner house, you wouldn't have made such a mistake."
Cui Zhen lowered his head and said nothing. Gu Chongyi saw regret on the face of this powerful and victorious general.
"Many things are really strange," Cui Zhen said for a while, "I obviously hate such people, but I end up becoming that kind of person."
Gu Chongyi couldn't help but sigh: "It's really true. I'm sorry for your concubines and the dead children."
Speaking of this, Gu Chongyi thought of Zou Xiang: "Zou Xiang has suffered so much since he was a child, and those injuries cannot be healed by just one or two sentences."
Zou Xiang's resentful gaze appeared in front of Cui Zhen. In Zou Xiang's heart, he was not his father but his enemy. Such a gap was like when he thought of his dead father when he saw his mother. He could not know much about it.
Cui Zhen slightly closed his hands and struggled out of the feeling of self-loathing. He calmed himself again, Duan Ning, and there were many things he needed to confirm, and many problems needed to be handled by him.
Cui Zhen raised his head and continued, "I told me about the matter between Zhang's family. What clues did I find? I want to listen to these first and then check Zhang carefully."
Gu Chongyi looked outside and said that we also intended to try the Zhang family at today's banquet, and we would have a result tonight.
Cui Zhen heard the point: "What is the uncle's 'we' referring to?"
Gu Chongyi said: "The strangeness of the Zhang family was discovered by Master Wei San."
Cui Zhen found that Wei Yuanchen would always take his lead along the way, first Cui Wei and then Zhang family.
Gu Chongyi said: "We suspect that the Zhang family and Tan Dingfang secretly colluded to control the Great Zhou naval commander. I am afraid that the Zhang family and the Shen family had arranged a move early on getting married."
