The General's Wife's Child-Rearing Chronicles

On their wedding night, Zheng Xiu laid down three rules with Xue Zhi:

"First, from now on, I'll manage all the household finances."

Xue Zhi nodded enthusiastically.

Chapter 169

When the doctor and the nurse gave their conclusion, Zheng Xiu pushed the three children aside.

After hearing what the doctor said, Xue Zhi did not show any surprise on his face, as the doctor in the clinic had obviously said the same thing. Zheng Xiu felt a pain in her heart as if someone had grabbed her. Xue Shao had practiced martial arts since

he was young. If he had serious sequelae because of this incident, what would he do in the future? Seeing her pale face, Xue Zhi said, "It's okay. I broke my leg when I climbed a tree when I was a child. The doctor also said that I might have difficulty walking in the future, but you see I'm fine now."

Zheng Xiu looked at him complainingly, "The children all went out with you, and now one or two of them are injured, and you still have the face to smile here." Xue Zhi

was also innocent. Wang Hanyu took the carriage back to Xinyang Marquis' Mansion early in the morning, and then took it back from Xinyang Marquis' Mansion. He thought there should be no problem, so he didn't bother to check it, and took the children directly to get on it.

Who would have thought that there was a problem with the carriage?

They checked afterwards and found neat cuts on many parts of the chariot, the front and the wheels. The cuts were very small and could not be seen without careful observation. It was not a knife or an axe that was used, but something like a wire cutter.

Xue Zhi always had this kind of thing with him. He had given it to Xue Shao before and asked him to keep it with him. It is a commonly used thing in the army.

Xue Zhi told everyone about what happened before and his own analysis. Princess Guihe's face became more solemn and she frowned and said nothing.

Zheng Xiu asked, "Do you mean that what happened today was not an accident? But someone deliberately framed it?"

Xue Zhi nodded.

The carriage was taken by Wang Hanyu, so the critical person was naturally not the three children, but her.

Everyone looked at her, and Xue Qin asked, "Hanyu, have you offended anyone recently?"

Wang Hanyu thought carefully for a moment and said, "Since I married into the mansion, I have been staying in the mansion and rarely go out. Even before the wedding, my mother rarely let me go out. I really can't think of who I offended."

Indeed, Wang Hanyu was a young lady who never left the house a few months ago, and later she became the wife of the prince of the Duke of Qing's mansion, and she would never go out and show her face and contact strangers. Where did the enemy come from? !

Everyone was at a loss for a moment, but Princess Guihe sneered, her expression so cold that it seemed to freeze ice, "Have you forgotten that you just offended a narrow-minded old woman in the harem not long ago!"

She was talking about the incident on the first day of the new year when Wang Hanyu deliberately acted out and confronted the Queen Mother.

Wang Hanyu's face turned pale and she said, "No way, the Queen Mother, isn't she still sick... And we just had a few quarrels that day, how could she want to kill me?"

Today she was indeed lucky, the carriage did not break down on the way, and was later borrowed by Xue Zhi and his three children, which saved her from a disaster. Otherwise, she, a woman, would be traveling without guards, and the carriage would fall over and startle the horses, and she would be dragged for a distance. Without many martial arts practitioners to protect her, she would be in danger of losing her life.

"You don't know that old hag. Her vicious mind is beyond your imagination. I think, on the one hand, she is still brooding over that incident, and on the other hand, maybe she regrets your marriage with Xue Qin." Princess Guihe tapped her hand on the table and said slowly.

This explains it.

The Queen Mother promised Wang Hanyu to Xue Qin in order to get angry with Princess Guihe. She knew that she looked down on Wang Hanyu, who was not well-educated, and did it on purpose, just to make the family of Duke Qing suffer.

But on the first day of the new year, Wang Hanyu and Princess Guihe showed extraordinary tacit understanding and sang a good show together, which made her lose face.

Seeing that he had failed to gain anything, he became angry and did such a thing!

Xue Zhi pondered for a moment, and continued: "I think it might not be the Queen Mother who did it. After all, she has been in the deep palace for many years, and she only has the support of the now insignificant Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. They are so powerful that they can only do such a small thing. This incident does not seem to be their work. Moreover, if there is no one in the army, they can't find the steel wire knife..."

Xue Qin also said: "I think what my second uncle said makes sense. This matter is not as simple as the Queen Mother's revenge. If there is anyone who can get along like this and take action in our Duke's Mansion or Xinyang Marquis' Mansion, I think it should be this person." As he said, he stretched out his hand and made the number "two".

Wang Hanyu was originally the consort that Concubine Xiao Shu had chosen for the second prince, and she had already clashed with the empress dowager. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager was so angry with Princess Guihe that she didn't care about anything and just gave her to Xue Qin.

The Duke of Qing's Mansion is a real party of the prince, which is equivalent to giving the enemy camp a Xinyang Marquis Mansion for free, which is definitely a loss to others and not beneficial to oneself.

After the dispute on the first day of the first lunar month, Concubine Xiao Shu pretended to vent the anger of the empress dowager, but in fact it was to weaken the power of the prince's faction. Even if any clues were found, they could push the blame on the empress dowager and get rid of the relationship.

Although the empress dowager is old and likes to make trouble, and she also favors the second prince among her grandchildren, she is old after all and did not participate in factional disputes. Otherwise, she would not have mentioned the idea of ​​betrothing Wang Hanyu to the second prince only a few times before, instead of issuing an imperial decree without caring about anything.

If the second prince had taken action, it would definitely be considered killing three birds with one stone. Not only could they be good in front of the Queen Mother and improve their relationship, but they could also weaken the Crown Prince's power and frame the Queen Mother. It was exactly what they wanted. The first person Princess Guihe thought of was the Queen Mother!

Everyone in the room was speechless for a while.

After a long time, Princess Guihe spoke up and said, "It's late today. You should go back first. Azhi and Aqin will stay."

Indeed, Wang Hanyu and Zheng Xiu were completely ignorant of political affairs, and there was nothing they could do to help. Zheng Xiu and Wang Hanyu bowed and left the inner room.

The three children outside were still talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to be unhappy about the previous incident.

Zheng Xiu called out to Zheng Yu and Xue Shao, and the two responded with a smile. After saying goodbye to Xue Mian, they stepped forward and took Zheng Xiu's hand and walked out of Changfeng Garden. Zheng Yu

and Xue Shao walked on each side. Xue Shao couldn't hold Zheng Xiu's hand because of his inconvenient hands, so he held her skirt instead.

Zheng Xiu didn't have the mood to laugh on the way. She was full of relief for surviving the disaster. Fortunately, the three children were not seriously injured today. If something happened, she would be very upset.

After returning to Hao Yetang, she was still worried. After watching the two children have dinner, she had no appetite.

After the two children finished their dinner and went to wash up, Zheng Xiu wanted to see their injuries, so she followed them into the bathroom.

Zheng Yu and Xue Shao entered the bathroom, where hot water was already prepared, and they immediately took off their clothes. When Zheng Xiu followed them in, the two had already taken off all their clothes, and they screamed in surprise.

"Sister, what are you doing in here!"

"Mom, get out!"

Zheng Xiu said speechlessly, "I just came in to see the injuries on your bodies!"

Zheng Yu fumbled around and covered himself with the clothes he had taken off. Because Xue Shao's hands were inconvenient, Zheng Yu had helped him take off his clothes before, and now he didn't know what to do. Zheng Yu freed one hand and covered his waist with the clothes.
