Chapter 43 Catch the adulterer
Xiaorou was pouring tea for Leng Lanzhi. When she heard this, she asked doubtfully: "Princess, what are you preparing? Who is Zhang Qianhu?"
Leng Lanzhi did not tell Xiaorou about her plan, so in Xiaorou's heart, Leng Lanzhi was still the princess who loved her consort.
She had no idea that the princess had secretly launched an investigation into the prince-in-law, nor did she know that the prince-in-law had actually raised a concubine outside. Even the young master whom she had been respectfully serving before was an illegitimate son raised by the prince-in-law outside.
Leng Lanzhi still didn't plan to say anything on her own initiative. After all, the story of rebirth was too unbelievable, and without evidence, she would be just falsely accusing her husband of cheating, which would be very troublesome to explain.
"Just go and see it with me and see a good show."
Leng Lanzhi attended the event dressed up, cheering from front to back, and the pomp was almost as grand as that of the prince.
But no one would think there was anything wrong with this. Who made her the current Princess Jialuo, the most beloved daughter of the Emperor and the Empress, and even the Crown Prince's brother also loved and pampered her like a pearl?
***
Zhang Qianhu's name is Zhang Boqian. He is one year older than Shen Yizhi. He is twenty-five this year. Six years ago, he and Shen Yizhi got married three months before his expedition.
His wife's surname is Liu, and she is the daughter of a merchant family. She has an older brother and a younger brother at home.
As the only daughter in the family, she was naturally pampered and pampered when she grew up. Although the Liu family was not considered wealthy, they had hundreds of acres of fertile land and several shops, and lived a pleasant life.
Zhang Zhongqian was just a white man when he got married. He failed in the scientific examination, so he spent all day doing nothing on the streets, teasing cats and dogs, and causing trouble.
If the Zhang family hadn't inherited the position of catcher from his grandfather's generation and were considered members of the public family, the Liu family would never marry their daughter to a bastard like Zhang Zhongqian.
After the two got married, Zhang Zhongqian met Shen Yizhi when they were making trouble together. He was impressed by his knowledge and magnanimity and was willing to work under him.
Later, when Shen Yizhi left to join the army, Zhang Zhongqian left his pregnant wife at home without saying a word, and followed him to the frontier thousands of miles away.
While at the frontier, Yu Waner would occasionally disguise herself as a man and enter the military camp to serve Shen Yizhi. After going back and forth, Zhang Zhongqian also got to know this delicate but determined woman.
He is the only person in the army who knows Yu Waner's identity, so Shen Yizhi entrusts his hands to handle many things.
In the process of doing things, he gradually became familiar with Yu Wan'er.
After Yu Waner returned to Shengjing, Zhang Zhongqian would go to Shen Mansion from time to time to greet her.
Shen Yizhi also knew about this, but didn't think much about it.
He couldn't go there to take care of his sweetheart, so he thought of letting his brother take care of her.
Moreover, he knew that Yu Waner admired him, and there was absolutely no chance that anything would happen to Zhang Zhongqian, the boss and the boss.
In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Zhongqian's blessing, Yu Waner, a delicate woman, would not be able to live peacefully in Shen's house.
On this day, Zhang Zhongqian came again.
Yu Waner looked at the tall young man in front of her, biting her lower lip with red eyes: "Brother Zhang, are you here to punish me?"
Before Zhang Zhongqian could say anything, she lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang. I was obviously very careful, but I still got discovered by the princess for some reason. Fortunately, no one pursued me that day, otherwise, I would have It hurt you."
It was Zhang Zhongqian who sent Yu Waner to her birthday party.
As a lieutenant who followed Shen Yizhi through life and death, Zhang Zhongqian had great freedom in entering and exiting the Hou Mansion.
He showed up yesterday with Yu Waner, and the people in the Hou Mansion thought that Yu Waner was his wife, so they didn't think much about it.
Looking at the woman's pitiful appearance, Zhang Zhongqian felt his heart melt: "Miss Yu, this is not your fault. The princess's minions are everywhere in the Hou Mansion, and you are no match for her."
"Brother Zhang, you are such a good person." Seeing that Zhang Zhongqian did not blame herself, Yu Waner shyly offered her words of praise.
The color on her eye circles has not faded, and now there seems to be a circle of light pink, which is still stained with moist water vapor, like a flower in bud in the morning in the garden, delicate and timid.
Zhang Zhongqian's heart suddenly panicked.
Miss Yu is really beautiful, and she has a lovely aura about her. Every time he sees her wet eyes, his heart can't help but turn into a puddle of spring water. He just wants to give her the best of himself and protect her. , make her laugh.
However, she only has Shen Baihu in her heart...
Zhang Zhongqian felt unbearable sourness in his heart, completely forgetting that he was already married, and that his wife had already given birth to a beautiful little girl for him, and now she had just been diagnosed with pregnancy...
"Ahem, Brother Zhang, what did your husband say today? When... can he come over?" Yu Waner asked delicately, her eyes full of expectation.
Zhang Zhongqian's heart became increasingly bitter.
However, he had already decided to fulfill the love between the young general and Miss Yu, so although he felt sour in his heart, he still pretended not to care: "Shen Baihu has been busy with official duties recently. I guess he can come over when he is done with it, right?"
A look of disappointment flashed across Yu Waner's face: "Then when will he finish his work?"
Zhang Zhongqian couldn't bear to see her disappointed and wanted to reach out and pat her shoulder, but he held back.
Yu Waner seemed to feel that she had made some rude request. She smiled bitterly: "I know I am too impatient. With an identity like my own, I am very lucky to have this place."
She forced a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, don't take what I say to heart. I'm actually... very content."
"Wait for me. I made two clothes for my husband. You can help me bring them to him."
As if she couldn't bear it anymore, she turned around in a hurry, preparing to escape from this embarrassing and sad place.
Suddenly, her back knee hurt and she fell backward.
Zhang Zhongqian stretched out his hand without thinking, and in the blink of an eye the man fell into his arms.
After all, Zhang Zhongqian is a veteran of the battlefield, and his reaction ability is first-rate. Logically speaking, after catching the person, he should push the person out of his arms as soon as possible.
But he couldn't bear it...
At this moment, there was a loud noise not far away.
Zhang Zhongqian happened to be facing the direction of the courtyard gate, and saw that the two closed doors were kicked open.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Mrs. Liu was standing at the door with a group of servants and servants, and she saw the two people hugging each other at a glance.
Her eyebrows stood up in anger: "Okay! You really have a vixen outside!"
Zhang Zhongqian's expression changed drastically, and Yu Waner was also shocked.
After her body stiffened for a moment, she quickly reacted and hurriedly covered her face.
Zhang Zhongqian realized something when he saw her like this, and hurriedly protected her tightly behind him, and reminded: "Miss Yu, go to the backyard to take shelter first, I will deal with it here."
Yu Waner also knew not to show her face. Although she was angry that Zhang Zhongqian had brought her trouble, it was not the time to care about it now. She nodded and ran towards the backyard with her face covered.
