"Madam doesn't know something. A few days ago, the governor of Shuntian Mansion died suddenly at home. The position has been vacant and has never been filled. The emperor handed over all the errands to the general."

Ling Yun explained.

Wei Rou: ...

What kind of medicine did the emperor sell in the gourd this time?

Soon, Wei Rou figured it out.

A while ago, Gu Xi crippled Zhao Yong's eyes, and the emperor restrained his feet, but Gu Xi ignored it.

The emperor probably kept it in his heart, and specially found this job for Gu Xi.

Not only can it make Gu Xi lose energy to manage military affairs, but it can also keep him busy with these trivial matters.

After all, Shuntian Mansion is in charge of trivial matters in the capital.

Gu Xi is considered overqualified.

Thinking of the helpless look on Gu Xi's stern face, Wei Rou wanted to laugh.

Within an hour, Gu Xi walked back to the mansion in the dark.

Wei Rou was already waiting for him in the front yard, with warm dishes on the table.

Gu Xi was startled, he untied his outer robe, and was greeted by Wei Rou who stretched out his hand to take it.

"Why don't you eat first? Didn't I tell Ling Yun to come back and tell you not to wait for me?"

Wei Rou handed the robe to Yingge, with a troubled look on her face.

"But if the general doesn't come back, I'm so full of panic, it's really hard to swallow."

Gu Xi's face stiffened for a moment, his ears blushed slightly, he held Wei Rou's hand, and led her to the edge of the table to sit down.

"There is a delay today, I will try to come back as soon as possible in the future."

Wei Rou rolled her eyes with a smile, and the tails of her eyes kept rising.

Gu Xi's heart became hot, he thought for a while, and said: "Just now there was a murder case in the city, do you know who did it?"

Wei Rou filled a bowl of hot soup for Gu Xi, handed it in front of him, and wondered, "Is it possible that I know this person?"

Gu Xi paused: "I probably don't know each other, but I do have some relationship with the second son of Duke Wei's mansion."

Wei Rou's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Chu Jing whom she had seen during the day, she suddenly had an ominous premonition, and even her voice became difficult.

"who is it?"

Gu Xi sensed that something was wrong with her, and replied: "It's a widow. I heard that the second son of Duke Wei's mansion has taken a fancy to her. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"Yes...is it Chu Jing?"

Wei Rou's hands trembled.

"you recognize?"

Wei Rou nodded.

"I bought some jewelry at her booth today, chatted for a few words, and we got to know each other. But how could she kill people?"

Wei Rou never believed that Chu Jing would take the initiative to kill someone.

Gu Xi held her hand and comforted her and said, "She is a victim in this matter. There are a few hooligans trying to belittle her, and she accidentally killed a person. Now that she is in jail, it may take some time to figure it out." day."

Wei Rou couldn't help raising her heart when she heard the words.

"What about the little boy with her?"

"I didn't see any little boy when I arrived. It is estimated that the second son of Wei took him away. With him in the middle, I think Chu Jing will be released soon."

Wei Rou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why do you care so much about her?"

Gu Xi felt strange and couldn't help asking one more question.

Wei Rou told Gu Xi what happened today and her guess.

Regarding her background, she did not hide it from Gu Xi. After all, it is well known that she is a fake daughter of the Wei family, and now she wants to know whose child she is.

Gu Xi will not underestimate her because of this.

Gu Xi pondered for a while: "Then it will be a year later, and I will go to Jiangnan with you."

Wei Rou tilted her head to look at him.

"Husband is busy in the army, and now there are more errands in Shuntian Mansion, can you still accompany me to Jiangnan when you have time?"

Gu Xi stretched out his hand to caress her bright red and soft lips.

"Since I am with my wife, there is always some time for this."
