Chapter 127 Trouble on Both Sides
"yes."
So that night, Qingnan secretly replaced the palace servants who were sent here with a new group. The people were still the same people, their names had not changed, they just became their people.
Over the years, the deputy general had trained a group of assassins for Gu Rongyu who could imitate anyone. They usually hid in the streets and alleys, doing various business. There were people selling candied haws, making plain noodles, merchants, and even eunuchs and maids in the palace. There were all kinds of people.
These people usually run small businesses, and once there is a need, they will fill the gap in time!
Now is the time to use them.
Therefore, these people either assumed their identities or were still in their original positions, but they received orders. This time, they were no longer loyal to the person on the throne, but to the person in the prince's palace.
Gu Rongyu kept the jade pendant given to him by the eldest lady around his waist all day long, never taking it off.
The people below were also talking about it, saying that he must have a lover outside. Otherwise, how could there be such a jade pendant as a token of love! Our current general has no one around him, and everyone is very worried.
Gu Rongyu didn't think about this, he just wanted the revenge to go faster.
…
The prefect re-examined the case, and the old man and the child who had come to file a complaint used the same rhetoric as before.
It was no different. He had simply received a promotion from the general, and then felt indebted to him, so he wanted to redress the general's grievances, and so he came. Once the matter was explained, the account book was also sent up, straight to the heavens.
Within half a month, the matter was resolved. The plan went smoothly, and the deputy general was dead! However, after the memorial was submitted, there was no news again, as if it had sunk into the sea.
In the court, the emperor did not mention this matter again, as if everything that had happened before had disappeared into thin air.
Gu Rongyu was so angry that he practiced sword skills every day in the mansion, but he had no place to vent his anger!
Qingnan had been by his side for many years and knew that the emperor had done this on purpose, to make an example of someone. However, the emperor also knew that words could be feared, so there was no need to kill a chicken... He could just let it go and let it go.
Who knew that His Majesty would use this trick?
Lord Lu mentioned this matter both privately and publicly, but the emperor turned a deaf ear to it and ignored it. Even in the court, he ignored it!
The prefect, knowing what the emperor on the throne was thinking, simply smiled and said to Gu Rongyu, "Wait, wait for the right time. One day, he will remember his promise."
Gu Rongyu was dissatisfied. What did he say when he came back? He would overturn the verdict as long as he had military merits... But that was not the case now.
…
There was also a problem with Chang Xixi. The first problem was that a child appeared next to her, about two years old, and no one knew where the child came from.
Only Xiaohong and Li Da beside him knew about it, and Liang Ming didn't know either.
Not long after the young master left, that is, after Chang Xixi returned to Panzhicheng, she moved out. During that period of time, Liang Ming ordered her not to enter the yard... or visit Chang Xixi.
Sometimes, I would be summoned into the house, which could be considered an interview! But, it was just a quick meeting and that was it.
Most of the time, they were separated by a curtain. Li Da always advised him that Chang Xixi might feel sad if he was around her, after all, he was the one left behind by Gu Rongyu.
It wasn't many years, just over half a year later, in autumn, Chang Xixi was able to meet people again.
But she always stayed in the room for a long time, and the next time she went there, it was the time when Miss Zhang came and took out her anger on her in front of her.
The child really appeared in everyone's sight half a month after the so-called general returned triumphantly. Chang Xixi said that she wanted to go to the old woman's villa to rest for a few days. After she came back, she was accompanied by a little bean bun.
Liang Ming is not convinced!
Looking at the child, he pointed and said, "Where did this thing come from? Did you go out and cheat on the young master with other men? The child is already so big, and you have been hiding it from me. You haven't even started mourning for the young master yet, what are you thinking?"
Chang Xixi didn't want to talk about these nonsense with Liang Ming!
Danmo smiled and walked into the house holding the white little ball in his hand. The little ball had a pair of black eyes and looked around inquiringly. He whispered, "Mom, Mom, where is this?"
"This is the home where mother has always lived. You will live here from now on, too, understand? You can't just run into mother's space and hide."
"Oh." The little dumpling looked so cute with his puffed cheeks. His tiny hand was held by her... His little body followed Chang Xixi's steps.
Li Da looked at this scene, holding his forehead and couldn't bear to watch it!
He had no idea who the child was! He only knew that his wife was indeed pregnant at that time, but she didn't let him go out to make it public. It happened to be winter, so he had to wear thicker clothes.
She doesn't like to see people much, and those who come to see her just come in, see her, and leave! Or they just give her medicine directly.
He didn't know how the child was born... because his wife didn't allow him to ask or say any more questions. Only Xiaohong understood the whole process.
Wait, when the baby is full-term, she will go to the old woman in the mountains to recuperate. It won't be long... just over a month.
Even though I was following Chang Xixi, it was as if I wasn't following him!
I just mentioned that this is the first problem. A few years ago, because this little kid was still very young, she felt very uncomfortable and sad during that time. She had no choice but to find another way and send the child to foster care.
I would go over from time to time to see what she looked like... Liang Ming, of course, didn't know.
Every time they arrived at the villa, he and Li Da had to wait outside the door and were not allowed to go in. They were only allowed to stay outside. They said that the old woman didn't like extra people paying attention to her private life.
Every time, only Xiaohong follows.
The second problem was that Liang Ming thought this child was a bastard! Why did he bring the child out at this time when he could not?
If it was the young master's baby, why didn't he give birth during the birth, but had to do it on his back?
This child kept calling her "mother" and was so cute. However cute he was, it was inevitable that this wasn't the young master's child. No... he couldn't allow the young master to have any stain on his face.
He drew out his knife and headed towards the child's back. Chang Xixi didn't react at all. Li Da behind her drew out his knife at the same time. The sound of swords clashing rose behind Chang Xixi.
She turned around and just glanced at Liang Ming, and she knew what he meant... She just smiled and said nothing more.
"You're quite considerate of your former master."
After saying this, he turned around and left, went back to the room and threw the child to Xiaohong to take care of.
