After listening to his daughter's words, Mr. Chen knew that it was almost impossible to end the relationship with Lu Shoukai at this time, but he still didn't want to give up and boldly approached her. As expected, he was rejected.
Liu Ying's words were particularly scary: "My husband has always been obsessed with Miss Chen. Now he is seriously injured. He is very weak both physically and mentally. With Miss Chen by his side, he feels comforted. Maybe he can get better quickly." She
Emphasis on: "I am willing to try any method that can make my husband better, no matter what it is."
When these words fell into Mr. Chen's ears, he immediately thought too much, as if... Lu Shoukai was seriously injured.
If this man dies, can my daughter survive? Will my family be implicated?
No matter how many worries Mr. Chen has, he can only keep them in his heart.
From that day on, Lu Shoukai became more and more ill. He kept coughing, like a tuberculosis patient. After taking medicine five days later, he failed to recover and became even weaker.
Firstly, the dagger injured his vital parts, and it is impossible for him to recover like a normal person. Secondly, after hurting his five internal organs, the whole person will become weaker and weaker, until he dies.
Every day Lu Shoukai lives is very uncomfortable. When he is awake, he will look back on his past twenty years. When he was young, he was rich and wealthy, and then suffered a catastrophe. Then he met General Liu, and gradually became more glorious. Just when he was most proud of it.
At that time, he planned to return to his hometown to impress everyone, but in the end, he fell into the bottom again.
It seems that from the moment he plotted against Chen Qianxue, he began to be unlucky step by step.
To be honest, he regretted it.
Not only did she regret that she had plotted against Chen Qianxue and caused such a big trouble, she even regretted that she had come back to her hometown.
When the Lu family was in trouble, there were no more than a handful of relatives and friends who were willing to help. They were only willing to help with small things, for fear of implicating their own family. Some of them had benefited from the Lu family themselves... In the end, even if
There are friendships and favors, but they are very limited.
There is no need for him to come back at all.
If he didn't come back and just asked someone to take care of the old Lu Mansion, he would still be a brave general with unlimited glory!
Money can't buy it, if I had known it would be useless no matter how much regret I have.
Chu Yunli was not idle. In her previous life, Chen Qianxue vaguely knew that Lu Shoukai had become a brave general at a young age. In addition to his good luck, he seemed to have taken advantage of other people's military exploits.
It was precisely because he knew this secret that Liu Ying, who had beaten her at will, was cruel to her that time, and did not allow the doctor to treat her, and just watched her die.
Originally, Lu Shoukai would come to comfort her every time she was beaten, and would also secretly give her some medicine. But that time, she stayed up for five or six days, but there was no one waiting for him.
Chen Qianxue also learned from her guard that Lu Shoukai was in the mansion.
In his own general's mansion, it was impossible for Lu Shoukai not to know about Chen Qianxue's situation. Especially since Chen Qianxue was often bullied. He hadn't seen her for several days, but even if he asked a few questions, no one would believe her.
There is only one explanation, which is that Lu Shoukai knew that she was seriously injured, but he was unwilling to treat her.
The reason why he suddenly became so heartless must be the secret that Chen Qianxue heard. He was afraid that she would be alive and that she would tell others the news. Only a dead person can shut up completely.
In fact, to find out about this matter, Chu Yunli had better go to the capital in person, but she had a child with her, and Lu Shoukai and his wife were watching over her every step of the way. She couldn't go.
After thinking about it, she wrote several letters and entrusted them to several escort agencies and traveling merchants who often traveled to and from the capital, and asked them to send them to more than a dozen officials in the DPRK and China.
There were hundreds of officials in the imperial court. Chu Yunli took the trouble to inquire and specially selected these people. Among them were officials who were known to be honest and upright, and there were also several military generals with similar identities to General Liu.
She didn't believe that even with a wide net, this thing could still be suppressed!
Half a month after Lu Shoukai arrived, his condition was finally stabilized due to timely medication and good rest. Although he still had a cough, he was no longer as miserable as before, where he could die at any time.
But everyone in the city discovered that Lu Shoukai's behavior was somewhat different from his previous behavior. During the days when he first came back, many people came to visit him. Lu Shoukai thought he had met, but he refused to accept their gifts.
It was different now. When they heard that he was sick, many people came to visit the patient. Most of them brought valuable medicinal materials. Lu Shoukai accepted all the gifts and kept the medicinal materials, then bought new gifts and sent them back.
It seemed that he didn't collect anything, just had ordinary dealings with various families, but he collected a lot of precious medicinal materials in just ten days. So much so that the already expensive medicinal materials in the city doubled several times.
Lu Shoukai's body really needed good medicine to take care of him. Apart from helping him prepare medicine, Chu Yunli didn't care about other things. The doctor he brought to take care of his body was the one he brought.
On this day, Chu Yunli was playing with her children. Suddenly, the wet nurse came over, looking like she was hesitant to say something, but she didn't dare to say what she wanted to say.
Chu Yunli looked at her: "What happened?"
The nanny did not sign a deed of sale and lived in the suburbs. Chen Qianxue would give her a generous salary every month. After Chu Yunli came, seeing that she was practical and devoted to her children, her salary was doubled.
For an ordinary woman, this job is worth a month's salary of five people outside. Therefore, the wet nurse became more dedicated. Chu Yunli originally asked her to go home four days a month, but she only went back for one day and hurried back.
.
For this reason, Chu Yunli gave her extra wages and often prepared clothes for her children at home.
"Girl, there's something I don't know whether I should say." The wet nurse tentatively said, "You might be unhappy after hearing this."
Chen Qianxue would be unhappy after hearing this. Chu Yunli must know: "What?"
"Aunt Ren is pregnant, less than two months ago. It seems that the adults don't know yet." She met Chu Yunli's suspicious eyes and explained: "Young lady may have forgotten that I have the opportunity to take care of the young master because I
Auntie, she is the cook in the house. In the past few days, Auntie Ren's taste has become very strange, and she is hungry quickly... It is said that she often vomits. Therefore, the aunt guessed that she is pregnant, and the news has not spread outside, Old Madam
You and your Majesty probably don’t know.”
Chu Yunli once indeed said in front of her that women who have no children and rely solely on men's love will not survive for a long time. Unexpectedly, Ren Yun'er actually listened to it.
She is weak and cannot give birth to children.
It can be seen that she herself feels that He Junfeng is unreliable... This is asking for death.
Chu Yunli suddenly smiled and said happily: "This is a good thing! I am really happy for her, how can I be unhappy?"
The wet nurse was dumbfounded, thinking that her master might have been asleep and hadn't reacted yet. Anyway, she didn't think there was a woman in the world who would really like the child her man gave birth to with another woman.
When she was happy, she couldn't sit still, and it was hard for her to come to deliver gifts. After all, as soon as she came to congratulate him, He Junfeng would definitely know that she had an spy watching the He family secretly. Although she did not arrange this person, the cook meant well.
,Chu Yunli can't harm others.
After thinking about it, she went to find Lu Shoukai.
The sunshine in the spring afternoon was warm, and Lu Shoukai only dared to go out for a walk at this time. He was out of breath from exhaustion before he had even walked a few steps, and he was sitting on a chair with a look of annoyance on his face.
How can he still guard the border when he is so ruined that he can't even compare to ordinary people?
He couldn't go to the border, and he, a brave general, only had a good-looking title. He couldn't even see the emperor except during New Years and holidays. What an official could do, he was not as good as a seventh-grade petty official.
Over time, officials in the capital will no longer take him seriously.
This is not what he wants.
Lu Shoukai wants to return to his previous health, wants to become a celebrity before the imperial court, wants to be admired by the world... Now he can only think about it.
Seeing Chu Yunli coming over, Lu Shoukai looked her up and down: "What's the good thing?"
"I just want to ask, how long will you stay here?" Chu Yunli said seriously: "By the way, everything between us is innocent. I am still so young, so I can't ruin my reputation on you."
Lu Shoukai was silent for a moment: "Do you think I want to stay?"
Don’t we have to stay?
Chu Yunli tilted her head: "You can go back to the Lu Mansion. My yard has not been completed yet. If you keep it here, it is not easy to find craftsmen to make noise."
Lu Shoukai did not refuse to move out, he only said: "You come and live with me."
"I can go, but I have to come back to sleep at night." Chu Yunli's tone became more serious: "And I won't bring the child there."
This is not a negotiation.
Lu Shoukai was silent: "Okay!"
When a patient wants to move, even if it is just to the opposite side, there is a lot of trouble. It takes a long time to get it done. But Lu Shoukai felt exhausted after going through this whole process, and fell asleep soon after returning home.
Liu Ying likes to run out more and more recently. She used to stay with Lu Shoukai for most of the day, and would stay with him at night. Now...she has no thoughts, so she just visits Lu Shoukai a few times a day, even if she does her best. Moreover, the couple
The two of them had already lived in their own homes.
Now that she has moved back to the Lu Mansion, Liu Ying even ordered her things to be moved to another courtyard, as if she wanted to live completely separate from Lu Shoukai.
Lu Shoukai didn't have much feelings for Liu Ying. However, he didn't allow this woman to dislike him.
That night, he asked his personal guards to invite the people over.
Liu Ying spent a long time shopping outside today and bought a lot of things. She wore jewelry newly released in the city on her head and wore a wide robe with a slim waist. If you don't look at her face, she is indeed a beauty.
Her skin was rosy and her face was radiant. Lu Shoukai didn't like it and said sourly: "You want to live by yourself?"
"Yes!" It was difficult for Liu Ying to accept the fact that Lu Shoukai was seriously injured and his future was ruined at first. However, she was open-minded and quickly let it go. In recent days, she had been prepared to be a widow.
This place is far away from the capital. No matter how crazy she is, no one in the capital will know about it. A few days ago, she boldly went to the theater. In addition to the opera singers, there were also various women playing instruments and singing... and
man.
She is pretty, otherwise she would not have chosen Lu Shoukai.
Now Lu Shoukai is lying on the bed dying, almost alive. The couple has not consummated their relationship for a long time. That day she met a man who was knowledgeable, knowledgeable, able to talk, and able to please her. She couldn't hold it back for a while, so she got closer to him.
.
After she came out, she regretted a little and didn't go to see him for many days, but Qian'er couldn't help it and went to see him anyway.
The two of them were closer today. Apart from not having sex, they did everything a couple could do.
The waiters in the flower house were different from the rough guys in the army. They had a sense of elegance about them, and everything they said and did was based on her heart. It made Liu Ying feel like her previous twenty years had been in vain.
I can understand those men who often visit flower houses.
Under such circumstances, she was absolutely unwilling to guard Lu Shoukai anymore.
With a change of heart, she suddenly realized that Lu Shoukai was not good at all. She was so kind to him, but he still doubted her. Regarding the medicine, she really wanted to help him keep it safe... although she did have some selfish motives.
, but I just don’t want him to find another woman outside. This is what he has agreed to beforehand! If he is really wholehearted, why should she bother?
Lu Shoukai is seriously ill, and Liu Ying has been preparing for widowhood in the past two days. She doesn't even want to marry. After returning to the capital, it would be better to have a few more "entourages" around her than to get married?
When the time comes, who dares to dislike her?
Liu Ying has been acting recklessly since she was a child. She has never seen this before, but now that she is tempted, she really doesn't think this matter is important.
Lu Shoukai coughed twice: "I'm cold at night."
When Liu Ying heard him cough, a trace of boredom flashed in her eyes: "If it's cold, cover yourself with a quilt and buy an extra brazier. You've been coughing all night, and I can't sleep well. During the day, I have to run around asking the doctor to buy medicine for you.
You would be considerate and considerate of me."
Lu Shoukai: "..."
He looked at the bright look on the face of the woman in front of him and said, "You run out every day. Have you met new friends?"
Hearing this, Liu Ying felt guilty for a moment, but it was only for a moment that she became calm: "Yes, I think he is quite interesting, and I want you to meet him if I have time."
Lu Shoukai smiled bitterly: "It's better not to see anyone with me like this. I'll embarrass you."
Liu Ying smiled half-heartedly: "That's not the case, he doesn't dare to dislike you."
Lu Shoukai thought she was referring to a woman. As for the fact that he did not dare to dislike her, it was probably because there was no one with a particularly high status in the city. Even though he was so ill now, the officials in the city were still polite to him.
"I want to get closer to you." Lu Shoukai feels that his wife has been a little distracted recently, and he seems to be unable to catch her.
Liu Ying was a little impatient: "I will make more time to see you. Okay, it's getting late, I have to go back and rest."
They had been gone for a long time, and Lu Shoukai was still in a daze.
After another five days, Chu Yunli went to Lu Shoukai's room and personally fed him a pill.
After Lu Shoukai swallowed the medicine, he felt relieved. He really didn't want to suffer that kind of pain anymore.
"Has it gotten better recently?" Chen Qianxue looked at the sky: "It seems like it's going to rain. I have to go back quickly."
Lu Shoukai could notice that except for the personal guards, the attitude of the people around him towards him had changed somewhat. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you hate me very much?"
"How fresh." Chu Yunli smiled and said: "Don't you know what you have done? How can you have the nerve to ask this? My husband and I were very good, but you broke up our relationship. Originally, my mother was right
I'm pretty good, and you bought me a generous dowry. But when you came back, mother and daughter also turned against each other. However, I still have to thank you for letting me know my true life experience... Generally speaking, I really hate it.
your."
Lu Shoukai smiled bitterly: "You don't hide it now, do you think I can't hurt you anymore?"
Chu Yunli looked sideways at him: "Originally, I gave the medicine and was about to leave. I didn't want to say more to you, but your words seemed to be threatening me. As for me, I don't like hard words. You are like this
I have to argue with you about your attitude."
She showed no respect for him both in her words and in her expression.
Lu Shoukai's face darkened: "No matter how seriously injured I am, I will still be a general."
"The general is quite remarkable." Chu Yunli glanced at the door, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "You are the general only because you married Liu Ying. If one day she wants to change her husband, you
What should I do about this?"
Even if Lu Shoukai, a brave general who was proclaimed by the emperor and had a golden tongue, became a useless person, he would still be a general after his death.
Lu Shoukai wanted to emphasize this, but when he heard her tone was wrong, looking at her expression, he suddenly had a sudden thought in his heart: "What do you mean by this?"
"Literally." Chu Yunli said amusingly: "Have you not noticed that Miss Liu often goes out recently? And the time she spends out is getting longer and longer?"
Lu Shoukai's face darkened: "Who is she dating?"
"Go and find out for yourself!" Chu Yunli turned around: "Only a kind-hearted person like me would remind you. By the way, there are so many personal guards around you. They are not deaf or blind. They must have heard about it a long time ago.
I don’t know why they didn’t remind you about this... If you don’t believe it, you’ll find out just by asking.”
Everyone left, and Lu Shoukai's complexion turned green and white.
"Here comes someone."
One of the personal guards arrived at the door. Martial arts practitioners have sharp ears and eyes. In fact, he had heard Chen Qianxue's words outside just now. At this moment, facing General Shang's serious eyebrows, he lowered his head: "General, what are your orders?"
Lu Shoukai asked coldly: "Who has Madam been hanging out with these days?"
Because he was too angry, his tone was very harsh.
The guard lowered his head: "This... Madam likes to listen to operas and listen to people playing the piano recently."
Lu Shoukai asked: "Is the person playing the piano a man or a woman?"
The guard hesitated.
After just this hesitation, Lu Shoukai didn't understand anything. He suddenly became furious and violently threw all the things at hand to the ground: "A watery bitch."
Normally, he would not have such a bad temper, and even if he was dissatisfied with Liu Ying, he would not say such unpleasant things.
The guard's expression changed slightly: "General, please calm down and...be careful with your words!"
Lu Shoukai did not calm down, but became even more angry: "Do you even think that I got here because of women? Do you think that if I leave her, I will become the sinner I used to be?"
"I don't dare." The guard lowered his head: "General, please take care of yourself and don't get angry. Madam is just too bored and is looking for someone to relieve her boredom..."
Lu Shoukai sneered.
Men only look for someone to relieve their boredom when they are bored, but Liu Ying knows how to entertain herself.
It was already late at night when Liu Ying came back. She hummed a little tune, opened the door and took off her cloak. As she walked towards the bed, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark figure in front of the window. She was startled.
He took a few steps back and screamed: "Someone, come quickly."
"it's me."
A familiar voice came. Liu Ying patted her chest and raised her hand to light the candle: "You are silent in the middle of the night. Do you want to scare people to death?"
Lu Shoukai suppressed his anger and planned to have a good talk with her. It was only after careful questioning during the day that he found out that Liu Ying had been seeing that person for several days and often spent time alone.
This man and woman were alone in a room, and he didn't believe it if they were just chatting. If it were any other woman who betrayed him like this, he might just kill her. Even if he didn't kill her, he would teach her a lesson.
Dun. But this is Liu Ying, he can't leave her!
After enduring it, he still couldn't hold it back and said angrily: "You also know that it is late at night and I didn't go home until this hour. If I hadn't come here specially to wait for you, I wouldn't have known at all. Madam, you are my wife,
I've been ill recently, and you just don't want to take care of me. If you want to go out for a walk, you can't do it so late, right? Even if my father-in-law comes to judge, he will definitely say that you are wrong. "
As soon as Liu Ying was coaxed into a happy mood, she listened impatiently to his lecture: "I know, I will come back early in the future."
"You go to the theater, I won't stop you." Lu Shoukai continued on his own: "But if you find a man to be alone with in the room, where will you put me? Don't you want to be famous?"
Liu Ying frowned: "You sent someone to follow me?"
"I am your husband. I am worried about your safety. Is it wrong to send someone to follow you?" Lu Shoukai looked at her seriously: "Madam, I am so good to you, why do you..."
"You can have sex with women outside, keep concubines and maids, why can't I find someone to entertain myself?" Liu Ying said solemnly: "Besides, you are planning to have an affair with those women, and I am just talking to him.
Listening to him play the piano, I don’t really want to do anything with him, compared to you, this is not too much at all."
Lu Shoukai emphasized: "You are a woman."
Liu Ying sneered, obviously not taking these words to heart: "If you can't bear it, I will get you a few more women after we return to the capital."
In the past, Lu Shoukai would be very happy to hear this, but now, with his body so weak, he still feels that he is not nourishing himself every day, so how can he still find the time to do those things?
"Madam! What are you talking about?"
Liu Ying was also angry: "You can find ten or eight women to accompany you, but I can't even find one? Lu Shoukai, don't forget that you are where you are today because of me. Otherwise, you will just be a humble person."
Young general, it’s hard to find a wife! Don’t be dissatisfied!”
Lu Shoukai: "..."
His chest heaved with anger. After living for more than twenty years, this was the first time he saw such a thick-skinned woman, who took it so naturally that he was looking for a man outside.
"If you do this, your father-in-law will definitely be angry!"
Liu Ying smiled half-heartedly: "Dad is dissatisfied with you and doesn't like me being obedient to you. He will only be happier if he knows that I have changed."
Lu Shoukai stared at her.
"Save it." Liu Ying waved her hand: "If you insist on living here, then I'll go next door. Get some rest early. By the way, I'm going out for an outing in the countryside tomorrow. I'll probably come back in the evening. Don't send anyone to look for me."
Lu Shoukai: "..."
"Who are you going with?"
Liu Ying turned back: "You have nothing to do with this. Of course, if you are willing, you can also find a few beauties to accompany you to the countryside. It doesn't matter if you don't come back. I will never be angry."
Lu Shoukai's chest heaved with anger.
In the past, this woman would hold him in her palm all the time and stare very closely. He felt suffocated and very bored. But now that she let go, he felt even more annoyed.
If word spread about these ridiculous things Liu Ying did, outsiders would laugh at him. If word spread back to the capital, how could he have the face to see anyone?
