When Ge Chunru woke up, she saw Xiao Yuanshi sitting beside the bed.
She hurriedly stood up, but was hugged by Xiao Yuanshi, "The doctor said you had a miscarriage before, be careful."
Ge Chunru was stunned when she heard this, "What? Are you saying that I'm pregnant?"
In order to give Xiao Yuanshi enough reasons to demote Kong to a concubine, she could only use the fetus in her belly as a bargaining chip.
But when the child was miscarried, her heart was torn with pain, and she hated Kong even more.
But she did not regret it. If that had not happened, she would not have been able to be Xiao Yuanshi's wife in a legitimate way.
She was naturally surprised to suddenly have another child.
Xiao Yuanshi looked at Ge Chunru's belly tenderly and said, "Yes, we are going to have a baby."
He was very much looking forward to this child.
Ge Chunru was happy at first, but suddenly his expression changed.
She grabbed Xiao Yuanshi and asked, "General, was I dreaming before that the housekeeper said someone cut off my brother's leg? This is not true, right?"
Xiao Yuanshi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should tell his young wife the truth.
After all, the court doctor said that she had just been stimulated, which caused the pregnancy to be unstable.
But Ge Chunru, who knew him very well, understood his hesitation.
"Where is my brother? Where is my brother?" she asked anxiously, pulling Xiao Yuanshi's clothes.
Xiao Yuanshi sighed, "I asked the imperial physician to bandage his wounds. He drank the medicine and fell asleep now."
Because he was screaming in pain before, he asked the imperial physician to give his brother-in-law a sleeping drug.
Ge Chunru lifted the quilt and said, "I want to go see him."
Xiao Yuanshi also knew how much his wife valued his younger brother, so he helped her up and said, "I'll take you to see it."
The two went to Ge Chunyi's yard.
As soon as he entered the room, Ge Chunru smelled blood.
Seeing her brother lying on the bed with a pale face, she felt so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes.
I opened the quilt with trembling hands and saw that my brother's left calf was missing, and the cloth wrapped in it was stained with blood.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but screamed in anger.
Xiao Yuanshi immediately went over and hugged the man, "The imperial physician said that he would be fine."
Ge Chunru turned around and looked at him with tears on her face, "Nothing? His legs were chopped off, you call it nothing?"
"Who did it? Tell me who did it?" She was almost losing her mind.
In the previous dynasty, the Ge family was a large clan, but due to war they were forced to live in seclusion in the village.
She was born in the village, but she often heard her father talk about the former glory of her family.
So my father took the initiative to go to the battlefield, hoping to climb up the ladder through military merit, but unfortunately he died on the battlefield.
Before her father went to the battlefield, he held her hand and asked her to promise to take good care of her brother.
Let my younger brother carry forward the Ge family and rebuild a prosperous family.
The rest of the Ge family had all died in the war, and now only the three siblings were left.
My younger brother is the only male in the Ge family and also the only hope of the Ge family.
She also wanted to wait for her brother to return with great military achievements so that he could slap the faces of those people in the capital who said that her brother had bad behavior.
But now it's over, all over.
Having lost a leg and with his right hand disabled, it was impossible for him to take the imperial examination or join the army.
That was why Ge Chunru lost his composure like this, with an expression of unprecedented madness.
Xiao Yuanshi couldn't help but frown slightly, "My people said that after they left the capital, they met a group of merchants on the road."
"Your brother showed contempt to those people, and they were unhappy, so they called your brother a gigolo."
"Then your brother took the initiative to fight with the other side with his men."
"Those people probably didn't expect their legs to be chopped off, so they ran away without even taking the goods."
According to the person he sent to escort his brother-in-law, this matter was actually instigated by Ge Chunyi.
Just hurry on your way. Why do you look down on others? You took the initiative to lead others to fight after a quarrel and got your legs chopped off. It was your own fault.
He also knew that he was expelled from the college and had his hands broken by Xi Rui, so his brother-in-law had been holding a grudge recently.
My brother-in-law probably thought that he was a lowly businessman, so he couldn't help but take it out on him.
Who knew that he would meet a ruthless person and lose a leg.
At the same time, what is lost is the future of the rest of life.
He had finally arranged the man for a position where he could easily achieve military merit, but unfortunately his brother-in-law ruined his own future.
Xiao Yuanshi was also very angry about this matter. All his previous investment in his brother-in-law was wasted.
Ge Chunru grabbed Xiao Yuanshi and asked, "Have you caught those people?"
Xiao Yuanshi's face looked a little ugly, "Let them all run away."
Ge Chunru cried, "Why are the people you sent so useless? They can't even catch people."
"It must have been intentional. Those people must have been sent by someone else to deliberately harm my brother."
Her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and she grabbed Xiao Yuanshi with a crazy look, "Did Xi Rui do it? Or was it Xiao Hanzheng?"
"You must avenge my brother!"
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her crazy appearance and frowned again, "Xi Rui has already crippled your brother's hand, so he shouldn't attack again."
"It's even more impossible for Zheng'er. He is just a little scholar. Even if he wants to do such a thing, he doesn't have that much ability."
Ge Chunru looked at Xiao Yuanshi and hissed, "That was done by Xi Rui. Only the Xi family has such strength."
Although she lost her composure, she still had her sanity, so she didn't tell anyone about her plot against Xi Rui.
Therefore, the suspect was directly locked on Xi Rui.
After all, it was unlikely that Xiao Hanzheng had the ability to know when her brother would leave Beijing and where he would pass by, or find someone to do such a thing.
But the Xi family is different.
The most important thing is that she had just plotted against Xi Rui not long ago. If the Xi family finds out, she would have a reason to do such a thing.
Xiao Yuanshi was unhappy that his wife lost her composure because of his brother-in-law. In his heart, he should be the most important person in Ge Chunru's heart.
She had always said this before, that she worshipped and loved herself, and that she was her life and her most important support.
But thinking that she was pregnant, he did not blame her, but hugged her in his arms and said, "I will check it out, don't worry."
"Take good care of your health first and don't worry about these things. Leave it to me." He comforted her.
Ge Chunru had calmed down a lot by now. She hugged Xiao Yuanshi and said, "Go check the Xi family. I think it was Xi Rui who did it."
"We have only one male left in the Ge family, and he's been destroyed like this. How can I explain this to my deceased parents?" She cried deliberately again.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi's previous discomfort disappeared.
"Okay, I'll check." He patted her back gently.
In fact, he also felt that this might not be an accident. After all, those merchants ran too fast and even his people couldn't catch up with them.
If it was the Xi family who took action, it would make sense.
Regardless, he was ready to investigate.
Xi Rui was so narrow-minded that he even crippled his brother-in-law's hand, yet he still refused to give in. This made him very angry.
If it was really done by the Xi family, we can find a chance to settle the score later. We can't just go against the Duke's Mansion for the sake of our brother-in-law.
Xi Rui was drinking and telling dirty jokes with his uncle at this time.
At this time, he didn't know that he had taken the blame for Xiao Hanzheng's actions...
