Rebirth of marriage

"Chen Xun." The Duke of Zhen looked coldly at Butler Chen who was tied up on the ground, "When you were seven years old, you fought with wild dogs for food in a ruined temple. I took you back to the mansion and let you follow Huai'an from then on.

Later, you were injured on the battlefield and it was no longer suitable to march and fight. I left you in my house as a housekeeper. I asked myself that I was treating you badly. Can you tell me why you poisoned me today. "

There was thunderous anger in his understatement.

Butler Chen had been following Duke Zhen for decades, but he couldn't see that this was a sign of Duke Zhen's extreme anger. He shook his head and denied, "Master, you misunderstood. I didn't want to harm you."

Seeing that he was still quibbling up to this point, Duke Zhen's face suddenly turned livid, "Ah Hou, pull out his nails and throw them into his mouth."

If Xiao Jiuer hadn't worried about him and left the Golden Horn King to him, how could he have thought that the military book that Steward Chen handed him was contaminated with poison.

Although he grew up in a wealthy family, his many years in the military had made him develop a habit of being informal. He might not always wash his hands before eating after turning over a book. He might even put his fingers in his mouth to moisten them to facilitate turning over books.

The Golden Horn King turned dark red as soon as he touched the book of war, which showed that the book was contaminated with poison. As long as he touched it with his hand and took it into his mouth, his life would be sealed.

Butler Chen came in empty-handed and within a short time of taking the book from the bookshelf, he smeared poison on the book. It was most likely that the poison was hidden in his fingernails.

"No, don't." When Butler Chen saw Ah Hou pull out the dagger from his waist, he knew that the Duke of Guo had seen through the poison in his nails. No matter how difficult it was to argue, he quickly begged for mercy, "Mr. Guo, I was wrong. I was momentary. The slave is so obsessed with ghosts that he has no choice... ah..."

His begging for mercy was in vain, Ah Hou's dagger cut off his entire finger in a flash.

The Duke of Zhen said in a deep voice, "I'll give you a chance. Just tell me how you had no choice."

Butler Chen saw that although Duke Zhen was furious, he was in good spirits and did not look sick. Thinking of the current situation of Princess Nihuang and the old lady, he closed his eyes.

Maybe the Duke of Zhen Guo already knew something, but Song Nianru didn't know it yet. No wonder, the old lady he deliberately provoked in the morning made a fuss, trying to lure Zhao Huaikang and the others over, but they guarded the courtyard without any response.

Forced to resort to this last resort, he raised his eyes and glanced at the majestic Duke Zhen Guo, and decided to protect himself first.

"My slave was obsessed with lust for a while, and was seduced by Song Nianru, and had an affair with her. She asked this slave to give me this medicine. If I don't do it, she will tell you what happened between him and her."

He looked remorseful and cried, "My lord, this slave was frightened for a moment, and that's why he did something worse than a pig or a dog by poisoning you. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life, slave." Never again."

"That's it?" Zhao Qingyun stepped in front of him and looked at him with a frown.

"She is Qian Biao's wife. If the Duke of Guo knows that the slave has defiled Qian Biao's widow, the Duke of Guo will definitely take my life."

"Still quibbling." Lord Zhenguo shouted violently, slapping his palm on the table, his eyes brimming with rage, "She clearly had the reason for you to harm Lianghei.

Chen Xun, Chen Xun, I only knew that you were very happy with your success, but I didn’t know that you were so vicious in heart. Liangping, like you, was my child that I picked up. You grew up together, but you were able to do this. "

"He even dares to harm you. How can he be inferior to a beast because of the brotherhood with Liangping?" Ah Hou scolded him with a cold face.

Butler Chen slumped down on the ground. The Duke really knew everything. He looked up and saw Duke Zhen, Zhao Qingyun, and Ah Hou, all looking at him condescendingly, with contempt in their eyes.

He smiled sadly and looked at Duke Zhen, "You all look down on me. You say you treat me well, but you never really look down on me.

Feng Liangping and I entered the mansion together and followed the eldest son into the military camp. You officially gave us names. My name is Xise, but he is Liangping, the two great advisers under Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. , Liangping, means resourceful, right?

When the deputy generals were appointed, the eldest son chose Qian Biao and Feng Liangping, and I could only follow them.

The eldest son died in battle, and you recommended Feng Liangping to other generals, turning him from a lieutenant general into a real general, but I could only return to the Zhenguo Palace and be a servant of the housekeeper. Have you ever thought about me? feelings?

It was you who differentiated us from the beginning, which made me jealous of him. Obviously I work harder than him, and I am better than him in everything. Even the woman I like only likes him. I really hate it. If he dies, he will hate you too.

"Idiot, Xun means humility. You have been competitive and competitive since you were a child, which is a big taboo for those who join the army. I named you Xun to teach you to be humble and steady." Ah Hou He was so angry that he kicked him.

"Liangping people are honest, loyal, and honest. The Duke of Guo hopes that he will remain kind, but he is worried that he is not smart enough and will be harmed by traitors, so he gives him the word "Ping" to wish him peace. As for letting you be the housekeeper. , ask yourself, can you still afford the sword and kill the enemy?"

"Haha, the matter has been discovered. Of course you can say whatever you want." Butler Chen was unwilling to accept Ah Hou's statement. He believed that his judgment was not wrong and that Lord Zhen Guo was partial.

Feng Liangping is not as good as him in anything, but his life is better than him in everything. Why?

Duke Zhen Guo's chest rose and fell. He took a few deep breaths but still couldn't calm down the anger in his heart. Chen Xun prided himself on being smart. Ah Hou could guess his intention in naming the two of them. How could Chen Xun not think of it?

He was just looking for a fig leaf to cover up the evil he had done. He stood up and kicked Butler Chen hard, "Since you can't listen to the truth, I don't need to waste words with you. You colluded with outsiders to murder Liangping. There’s a price to pay.”

He looked at Ah Hou and said, "Take him down and keep him under strict supervision."

"Father." Zhao Huaikang and his wife, who had been guarding the door, came in and said indignantly, "That woman Song Nianru is so bad. We have taken good care of her all these years, but she is causing trouble in our Duke's palace. You We must not spare her lightly."

Duke Zhenguo narrowed his eyes, "She will not end well."

He turned to Zhao Qingyun and said, "I have nothing to do here. Go and help your second sister, don't let her be bullied."

Zhao Qingyun was also worried about thanking him for the wine. Seeing that Wutong had returned to his grandfather and King Golden Horn was there, he nodded in agreement.

Not long after he left the palace, he met a large army led by Prince Gong.

After pretending not to know the purpose of everyone's visit, he asked angrily, "As everyone expected, she did have someone poison my grandfather. Fortunately, with the blessing of heaven, my grandfather escaped. Now I am going to arrest him." her."

On the way Prince Gong came, although he saw Xie Jiu's calm expression and guessed that Duke Zhen Guo might have dealt with it long ago and nothing would happen to him, he was still a little worried. After hearing Zhao Qingyun's words with his own ears, he really felt relieved. .

Something is going to happen to the Duke of Zhen. Yu Gong is not good for Daxia. In private, he lacks a helper. Didn't you see that he has dressed up today? Since he has a son, these days are full of joy and excitement, but also I'm so busy that my heels are beating, and my hair has become a lot thinner, but I can't miss my teammates anymore.

He couldn't bear it alone.

He asked cooperatively, "Do you know where to find that woman?"

Zhao Qingyun shook his head, "I don't know, but the person who poisoned my grandfather was the housekeeper in the mansion. He was coerced by Song Nianru. After interrogating him, we found out that Song Nianru and many men in the capital..."

He paused briefly, as if considering what to say.

Prince Gong said anxiously, "Don't hesitate, tell me quickly what's going on?"

"To be precise, Song Nianru has relationships with many officials in the capital and stewards of some mansions, and she uses transactions to get them to do things for her."

"Prostitute???" Prince Gong's eyes widened.

Zhao Qingyun was still an unmarried young man. He touched his nose and accepted it.

"Do you know which officials they are?" a lady asked.

"The housekeeper knows a little bit, but not everything. He will know after catching Song Nianru and interrogating him." Zhao Qingyun replied.

Several husbands who were not of high rank but also loved to be romantic looked at each other and said angrily, "Then what are you waiting for? This kind of rat shit should be caught and beaten to death in public."

Several more ladies responded. Who knows if the men in their families have been deceived by Song Nianru and done stupid things. The most important thing is to catch him early.

The male guests had some matters that had nothing to do with them. Some officials were even thinking in their hearts that Song Nianru was quite capable, so they went with her to see who he was.

But when Zhao Qingyun added, "When she interacts with officials and housekeepers, she uses a pseudonym, Red Lady."

Someone's center of gravity was unsteady and he almost fell. He looked at his friend next to him. That person's face was also pale. The Red Lady was no stranger to them.

"Let's go and help arrest people. If you dare to betray Princess Nihuang and poison the Duke of Zhenguo, we will never tolerate such an evil woman." A slightly trembling male voice shouted with excitement. .

It was a matter of their own. These people were extremely active, hugging Prince Gong and Zhao Qingyun, and quickly dispersed from the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

Xie Jiu and Gu Xiao smiled at each other and stepped into the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
