"Zhao Lang, although I was wrong, it was also for the sake of our future."

"She is already powerful. If she gives birth to a legitimate son, you will be suppressed for the rest of your life."

"How about you make me your co-wife? That way, our son will also be a legitimate son and can inherit your legacy."

Zhao Qing looked at her coldly without saying a word.

The hearts of the deputy generals on both sides were in their throats. They knew that the general was easily influenced and was particularly not good at dealing with matters between men and women.

If she is really persuaded, the eldest lady will be either angry to death or disheartened.

The two of them were worried about Zhao Qing.

He reached out and helped Cheng Ting up. Cheng Ting's face was overjoyed: "Zhao Lang, you, you forgive me? What about the concubine..."

Zhao Qing suddenly increased the strength of his hand and broke Cheng's wrist.

"ah!"

Cheng screamed and tried to pull her hand back, but Zhao Qing grabbed her hand tightly and held it down.

Cheng Ting screamed in pain: "Zhao Lang, what are you doing? It hurts, let go!"

"Pain? When you hurt my wife and children, didn't you think they would feel pain too?"

"I'm telling you, vicious woman. When I was at my lowest point, it was Huixin who helped me. She didn't mind me being just a soldier, and she insisted on marrying me despite the pressure from the Bai family."

"Hui Xin has been kind to me, and I only recognize her as my wife."

"You bitch, you still want to be on equal footing with Huixin? Dream on! Don't even mention that you didn't get pregnant. Even if you gave birth to eight or ten children, even if Huixin couldn't give birth to a child, she would still be the legitimate mother of the General's Mansion!"

Zhao Qing threw her out and ordered, "Come here, send her to the Dali Temple. Accuse her of murdering the general's legitimate mother and son. The evidence is irrefutable. Have the Dali Temple punish her severely!"

"Zhao Qing, you can't do this to me! You promised your mother to take good care of me. Are you doing this to her?"

"If my mother knew you murdered her daughter-in-law and grandson, she would be the first to crawl out of her coffin and kill you! Kidnap her and take her away! I don't want to hear her voice!"

A smelly rag was stuffed into Cheng Ting's mouth and she was sent away by Niu Niu.

The midwife and others on the ground were trembling with fear, burying their heads in the ground, not daring to look at Zhao Qing's face.

"Send these to the yamen and hand them over to Lord Chen for processing."

"General, why don't you kill them?"

The right deputy general was completely confused. To deal with such people, one kill with one sword would be enough to get the better of them. Why should they be allowed to live for two more days?

Zhao Qing also wanted to kill them with his own hands.

But he believed what Zhou Yunshen said today. After all, this was the imperial city, under the feet of the emperor. Everything had to be done according to the rules and no one could catch them.

His father-in-law had just been appointed as the salt inspector. If he made a mistake, he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would implicate his father-in-law.

Zhao Qing thought deeply for a moment, then decided to have them sent away: "Today is my son's birthday, I don't want them to die now, it would be unlucky."

"General, you have a point. Get up, you filthy bastards! I'll have Master Chen treat you well."

The midwife begged for mercy, but Zhao Qing was annoyed by her noise and had her jaw removed and sent away.

The servant brought the swaddled child and said, "General, what should we do with this child? I've sent people to investigate. His father was a gambler, and his mother died after giving birth. This child..."

To kill or not to kill?

These grown men were all decisive and ruthless when they were fighting on the battlefield, but now they don’t know what to do.

They are good at killing, but they are not indiscriminate killers.

Zhao Qing thought about it carefully and sighed, "This is also my sister's karma. If I kill her and implicate others, it will be bad. Let someone take care of her first, and then find a good family to raise her in a few days."

Jiang Shuyue was enjoying a hearty meal at home when she heard the system report: "Zhao Qing has dealt with the victims effortlessly. Cheng Ting is currently being tortured. The midwife has fainted several times, but the Right Deputy General hasn't stopped."

Bai Huixin's eldest brother rushed back overnight. As soon as he entered the General's Mansion, the child was taken away by Bai's eldest brother and was about to be sent to the countryside to be handed over to an infertile couple who had been kind to the Bai family.

Jiang Shuyue: [The Zhao and Bai families are both very kind, just like this piece of crispy barbecued pork, they are both good people on the outside and inside!]

Huahua: [It's all good, but the eldest brother of the Bai family is also a miserable person. The family he wants to marry into...tsk tsk tsk!]

Realizing that there was something to eat, Jiang Shuyue became alert.

Huahua immediately started complaining: "The Ji family, the family Bai Shufeng is currently dating, has two daughters. Although both are legitimate, the second daughter is not favored, while the eldest daughter is spoiled."

[I don't know what's wrong with this eldest daughter, she just likes to steal other people's things.]

[She always wanted to get her hands on anything that belonged to her sisters, such as her biological sister's jewelry and her half-sister's candied haws.]

The second daughter met Bai Shufeng at a poetry gathering two years ago. He admired her personality and talent, so he sent his parents to propose marriage. The eldest daughter, upon seeing her, wanted to snatch her away. However, last year, the Bai family's career was delayed due to a minor incident, and the eldest daughter immediately pushed her younger sister out.

At the beginning of this year, the Bai family regained the emperor's favor, and Bai Shufeng was transferred back to the capital to take up an important position. The eldest daughter began crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang herself in order to snatch him away.

Jiang Shuyue used two words to analyze the character of the eldest daughter of the Ji family: [So cheap! ]

I suspect she has an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and when she sees something in someone else's hand, she wants to grab it. She's quite good at grabbing shit, so she should always be able to catch the hottest one.

Zhou Shiye almost choked and quickly took a few sips of water to calm himself down.

Jiang Shuyue continued to complain: "The Ji family will probably let the eldest daughter go. How can there be such partial parents? Oh, I forgot, my parents are like this too."

Huahua: [I said this melon is small, guess why?]

Jiang Shuyue's face was full of question marks. This level is not too small, right?

Huahua smiled and said, "Bai Shufeng is not stupid. He knew the Ji family's character during their first encounter, so he had his mother prepare the wedding invitations early in the morning. Madam Ji also warned that if it wasn't the second daughter, she would have to return her even if she got into the bridal sedan."

The Ji family will receive the news in a couple of days. The Bai family is currently enjoying the emperor's favor, so even if the Ji family makes a scene, there's nothing they can do. Furthermore, Bai Shufeng had been slowly spreading rumors for two months, saying that he had long been attracted to the Ji family's second daughter and would marry her.

The eldest daughter got wind of this the past two days and has been furious. She's been crying and making a fuss for a long time but her parents haven't relented. Every day, she blocks the door to the second daughter's room, ready to continue making trouble.

The second child also got tough and went up to beat Bidou until he was dumbfounded. She also warned her parents to behave themselves, otherwise she would tear her family apart and expose the family's affairs to the public.

Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but give a thumbs-up: "Sisters, you're so tough! You're truly role models for our generation. I want to learn from you. If my cheap husband ever lets me down, I'll give him two big hoops!"

Huahua said that she couldn't do it because the villain was so skilled in martial arts and she had thin arms and legs, and the villain would be knocked over before his palm even touched her.

Zhou Yunshen was even more puzzled. What did the affairs of the Bai family and the Ji family have to do with him?

Besides, these two things are not of the same nature, so why are they involved with him?
