"Why don't you tell me what Ayi did when he stood in front of Mu Nanjin's bed?"
Tang Liuzhao looked angry: "I saw Ayi tuck her in and kiss her forehead."
"brute."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang angrily slammed the table and said, "How dare you do such a beastly thing to your own nephew."
Jiang Zhenru was much more rational than him: "Five years ago, Mu Nanjin was only a ten-year-old child. Ayi kissed her forehead perhaps just out of the elder's love for the younger. Although it is not in accordance with etiquette, it is also within the scope of affection."
The reason she said this was because she was a mother, and she had kissed her sons on the forehead out of maternal love before they were ten years old. So in her opinion, Tang Liuzhao was overthinking.
Tang Liuzhao said in a deep voice: "I thought so at first, and I always thought that Ayi was a man who couldn't express his emotions, so he was always cold to me. But after seeing him kiss Mu Nanjin, I realized that Ayi could also be so gentle, but he never treated me like that, not even holding my hand. Therefore, the image of him gently kissing Mu Nanjin has always lingered in my mind. I tried to be intimate with him, but he always rejected me coldly."
"At that time, I naively thought that he didn't like close contact with me outside the bed. Later, these things accumulated in my heart for too long, and I began to doubt Yi. Once people have doubts, they will be alert. When they are alert, they will become very careful in all aspects and can discover many unusual things."
Tang Wenzong asked quickly: "What did you find out?"
A hint of discomfort flashed across Tang Liuzhao's face, but since she had decided to tell the truth, she had no choice but to go for it.
"I found that every time before we had sex, he would let me look into his eyes first. I didn't think it was strange at first, but later I listened to my eldest sister-in-law and her younger sister talking about sex and gradually realized that something was wrong."
After hearing this, Emperor Wenzong of Tang felt too embarrassed to ask any further questions.
After all, he is an adult man, and it took a lot of courage for his sister to say this to his face.
Jiang Zhenru recalled an incident four years ago when her sister, who had just gotten married, came to visit their home and shyly talked about sex, saying that her husband had sex with her several times every night and that each time made her whole body sore.
She still remembered Tang Liuzhao asking curiously, "Do you feel sore all over every day when you wake up? Do you feel uncomfortable in your lower body and don't even have the strength to walk?"
Her younger sister not only answered yes, but also talked about many issues regarding sex.
After hearing this, Tang Liuzhao's face turned pale.
She thought Tang Liuzhao was unwell, so she sent someone to send Tang Liuzhao back to his room to rest, and also called a doctor to see her.
Jiang Zhenru asked: "What's wrong?"
"I found that Ayi's eyes can deceive people. When I look into his eyes, I will enter a false scene. Therefore, my sexual intercourse with him may be..." Tang Liuzhao gritted his teeth and said, "It's fake. It's completely my own imagination."
Jiang Zhenru and Tang Wenzong gasped.
"A Zhao, we can't draw any conclusions based on what my little sister said. After all, everyone's situation is different. Why do you think that sex is just a fantasy?"
"I thought I was overthinking it, but I didn't feel anything afterwards, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with my body and Ayi's, but I just couldn't get pregnant. I felt more and more that my guess was true. Later, I heard that the madam of the brothel would touch the girls' teeth to find out if they were still married. I spent a lot of money to invite the madam out, and then asked her to examine me, and the result was..."
Tang Liuzhao's eyes were red again: "In the end, the madam told me that I was still a virgin. I have been married to Ayi for more than ten years, but I am still a virgin. How can I accept this? I can obviously give birth to a child, and I can obviously have a child with Ayi, but they want me to treat other people as my own children. How can I do it?"
"How, how could this happen?"
Emperor Wenzong of Tang couldn't believe what he heard.
Jiang Zhenru was also dumbfounded.
Emperor Wenzong of Tang was furious: "If he didn't want to touch you, why did he marry you in the first place? I didn't force him to marry you. He could have asked me for some money to live somewhere else. But it's too much for him to treat you like this after we got married."
Tang Liuzhao didn't say anything.
Emperor Wenzong of Tang felt that she must know some inside information.
"A Zhao, tell me everything you know, and I will definitely help you get back all the grievances you've suffered over the years."
Tang Liuzhao was silent for a moment before he continued, "Brother, do you remember what our parents said about Ayi's appearance?"
Emperor Wenzong of Tang recalled the past and said, "It seems that I have said something like this."
"I remember my parents said that Ayi looked a lot like his father when he was little, but when he grew up, he had nothing in common with his father. I didn't think much about it at the time, but since I started to suspect him, I had to think more about it. Then I spent a lot of money to hire someone to go to my hometown to inquire about Ayi and Mu Nanjin's life stories. The news I got was that all the real members of the Mu family had died of illness fifteen years ago."
"Are all the Mu family members dead?"
Tang Wenzong and Jiang Zhenru looked at her in disbelief: "Who are Mu Qinyi and Mu Nanjin now? Why do they have the token of our Tang family?"
At that time, the Tang family was very poor, and it was the Mu family who gave a large sum of money to help the Tang family accompany Emperor Wenzong of Tang to go to Beijing for the imperial examination. The Tang family then arranged a marriage for the Mu family and gave them a token for them to recognize each other in the future.
Emperor Wenzong of Tang was very lucky. Not only did he pass the imperial examination, he also became an official, which changed the Tang family's predicament.
Therefore, in the heart of Emperor Wenzong of Tang, the Mu family was the great benefactor of the Tang family.
If the Tang family had not lost contact with the people in their hometown a long time ago, he would definitely write a letter immediately to find out.
"I don't know who they are, and I don't dare to ask who they are." Tang Liuzhao was in great pain: "I am very afraid that once I reveal their true identities, Ayi will leave me."
Everyone in the Tang family knew that she loved Mu Qinyi very much, and asking her to divorce Mu Qinyi would be tantamount to asking for her life.
Emperor Wenzong of Tang could not bear to see Tang Liuzhao in such pain, and said, "Even if Mu Qinyi is not a real Mu family member, he is still your husband who has been married to you. He cannot deny it even if he wants to. You don't need to live in fear every day."
"But I'm really afraid that he will leave me at any time. I'm afraid that every time he goes out, he will never come back."
Tang Wenzong frowned: "Since you care about him so much, why did you hire a killer to kill Mu Nanjin? Don't you know that this will only make him leave you faster, or even regard you as an enemy? This is not the result you want to see, right?"
"I'm jealous. I'm so jealous of Mu Nanjin."
Whenever Tang Liuzhao mentioned Mu Nanjin, his face was filled with hatred.
"Ayi is not only gentle to her, but also laughs happily to her. This is something I have never experienced as his wife. Also, he treats us very differently in the gifts he buys us every time he comes back from a business trip. The things he gives me are always jewelry for women. It seems that he cares about me a lot, but in fact he never knows what I need. But Mu Nanjin's gifts are different. He will choose them carefully for her, just like the horse he bought this time. It is something that cannot be exchanged even for jewelry, and it is exactly what Mu Nanjin needs most, because he is reluctant to let Mu Nanjin walk to work every day, and he believes that Mu Nanjin's food, drink and expenses should be the best in the world. Therefore, no matter what she eats, wears or wears, they are all more expensive than those of the eldest lady of the aristocratic family."
Tang Wenzong, Jiang Zhenru: "..."
After hearing what Tang Liuzhao said, it really is so.
It was just that Mu Qinyi did not frequently add a large amount of daily necessities to Mu Nanjin, and his clothes were relatively simple and elegant, so no one noticed this problem. But if you look closely, you will notice that Mu Nanjin's clothes are made of better fabrics than theirs, and his monthly silver is more than that of Tang Wenzong, a fifth-rank official.
"Do you think I should be jealous of her? Jealous to the point of going crazy. I want to kill Mu Nanjin so that Ayi will turn his attention to me."
Jiang Zhenru asked tentatively: "A Zhao, are you jealous of Mu Nanjin? Do you think that A Yi has feelings for Mu Nanjin?"
Tang Liuzhao remained silent, indicating his agreement.
"Ridiculous." Tang Wenzong stood up excitedly: "Mu Nanjin is Mu Qinyi's nephew, how could Mu Qinyi have such thoughts."
Tang Liuzhao sneered: "He may not be a real nephew. They may not be related by blood."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang: “…”
Jiang Zhenru thought about it carefully and said, "A Zhao, I think you may be wrong. If Mu Qinyi really likes Mu Nanjin, given his personality, he would never allow Mu Nanjin to pursue Jing Rui relentlessly, nor would he let the woman he likes like another man. He would hold her tightly in his arms and not let anyone touch Mu Nanjin at all."
Tang Liuzhao's face paused, it seemed that what he said made sense.
Emperor Wenzong of Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that Mu Qinyi doesn’t like Mu Nanjin.
"Ah Zhao, don't hire assassins to kill Mu Nanjin again. You will make Ah Yi drift further and further away from you."
Tang Liuzhao's eyes darkened. "I always feel that the next time Ah Yi comes back will be the day we part, and he gives me the feeling that every time he goes out to do something, it's for Mu Nanjin. Maybe only when Mu Nanjin is gone can he settle down and stay in one place."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang frowned: "Isn't he on a business trip? Why is he doing this for Mu Nanjin?"
"On a business trip?" Tang Liuzhao sneered. "One time when I was strolling on the street, I saw the yamen runners who were on a business trip with him. I thought Ayi had returned, so I followed them to give him a surprise. But I heard them say that Ayi always extended his business trip on purpose, and their chief constable never cared about him."
"Then did you ask those yamen runners where Ayi went?"
"I didn't ask, but I could guess from their words that they didn't know where Yi was going."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang asked again: "Did you ask Ayi where he went?"
"I asked." Tang Liuzhao shook his head uncomfortably: "But I can't remember how he answered me. I didn't want him to find me annoying, so I didn't ask him again."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang: “…”
Jiang Zhenru felt sorry for Tang Liuzhao: "Why didn't you tell us about these things earlier?"
It's because she was so depressed that she had the murderous intention. If someone had counseled her, she wouldn't have done such a terrible thing.
"There are many times when I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start, and there are many things that I find difficult to talk about."
Tang Liuzhao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a piece of silk.
Tang Wenzong felt upset, and he told Jiang Zhenru: "I'm going to go out and do something, you stay here with her."
