Chunyu was a reliable person. While Zhong Jianmin was out, he took advantage of the time to search through all the items they had left in the inn and took away all their money.
Mrs. Ge couldn't live in Yun Yuan's yard. Zhong Jianmin and Wu Yishu were reluctant to spend a lot of money to hire someone to repair the house, so they planned to extend the rent for a few more days. However, they couldn't find the money after searching through their luggage. They couldn't believe that they had been robbed.
In a fit of rage, Zhong Jianmin went to report the case to the Jingzhao Yin, allowing the people to watch the excitement.
He was a general, but his property was robbed right under his nose. Doesn't this mean that he is incompetent?
A debate broke out in the capital about whether General Zhenwei had real ability.
Some people say that he entered the officialdom through the military examination and his martial arts skills are quite good.
Some people said that he became arrogant after suppressing the bandits, and maybe the remnants of the bandits were taking revenge on him.
Some people also said that he abandoned his wife, which was shameful for people of justice, so they stole his silver to teach him a lesson.
But no matter what, the reputation of General Zhenwei's Mansion was completely ruined.
At night, Yun Yuan stayed in the emperor's room. At three o'clock in the morning, she heard some noise coming from the next room, which soon died down. The secret guard came to report that someone had been caught.
On the second day, a group of soldiers came to Yunlai Inn.
"General Zhenwei, the Jingzhao government wants to see you."
Zhong Jianmin didn't sleep all night. He was worried because he couldn't contact the people he sent out.
Now it seems that he has been captured. Where did the Yun family get so many experts?
But he soon regained his composure, and no one knew they were his people.
Mrs. Ge was frightened: "I wonder what my son has done wrong?"
Wu Yishu's face turned pale. She knew what Zhong Jianmin had done. Had the truth been exposed? Of course it was. If Zhong Jianmin was arrested, what would happen to her and the baby in her belly?
Officer: "Someone confessed that he hired someone to murder his first wife."
The onlookers were in an uproar. Look what they heard! Today's tea-time gossip is here.
Mrs. Ge knew her son well, and this was most likely true.
But she couldn't admit it. She pointed at the officers and soldiers and cursed, "My son is General Zhenwei, appointed by the emperor himself. Without the emperor's order, I don't think anyone dares to touch him!"
The officers and soldiers had no expression on their faces. General Zhenwei was a fourth-rank military officer, and Jingzhao Yin was a third-rank officer. No one knew where she got the confidence from, not to mention that Jingzhao Yin was deeply trusted by His Majesty.
"We are upright and responsible. We will not let any bad person go, nor will we wrongly accuse any good person. Please, old lady, do not interfere with our official duties. General Zhenwei, please come."
Zhong Jianmin was taken away with a cold face.
As soon as he left, Ge immediately slapped Wu Yishu.
"Bitch, everything has been going wrong since you came in. Your life is even worse than when Yun was here." Not only is it worse, it's a complete deterioration.
The current partner is most afraid that others will say that she is not as good as her ex.
Wu Yishu exploded when she heard this: "If she's fine, go find her and see if she still wants you. I'm carrying your grandson in my belly. Can the Yun family give you a grandson?"
"Well, you actually dare to talk back!" Ge slapped him again and wanted to slap him again, but Wu Yishu dodged it.
Ge stumbled and was caught by Zhong Xiaodi in time. She said angrily, "Erlang, hold her down. I want to see how she can escape."
Brother Zhong obediently held Wu Yishu down and pinched her butt a few times when no one was paying attention. Wu Yishu was very ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to say it to her face.
"Old hag, let me go, ah——"
Ge attacked from both sides, and Wu Yishu's face immediately swelled up. She screamed miserably, her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a madman.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
The ferocious appearance scared Ge, and without hesitation, she kicked Wu Yishu on the knee. Wu Yishu knelt on the ground in embarrassment, looking at Ge with hatred.
"Lock her up and don't give her any food unless she admits her mistakes."
"Okay, mother." Zhong Xiaodi pulled Wu Yishu, and Wu Yishu staggered. Madam Ge started to curse again: "Be careful of my golden grandson. If my golden grandson is gone, you don't have to live either."
Wu Yishu sneered: "Don't worry, I love the baby in my belly more than you do." Although she said this, she felt very uncomfortable, as if her value in General Zhenwei's mansion was to give birth to children. She firmly believed that the general loved her and that she was unique in his heart.
As expected, Zhong Jianmin was released by the government.
He had been fighting bandits for many years, but not all the bandits were killed. Some were recruited. The bandits he sent out were those he had secretly subdued. He claimed that the deaths were revenge from them, but the bandits could not produce any concrete evidence, so the Jingzhao Yin had to let him go.
Zhong Jianmin was already in a bad mood, and he felt even more annoyed when he returned to the inn and had to clean up the mess made by the two women.
"Yun used to take good care of mother and never contradicted her. Why can't you do the same?"
Wu Yishu felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.
"I'm not as good as Yun?"
Zhong Jianmin said impatiently, "Have you seen Yun Shi? Don't you know whether you can compare to her or not? Yun Shi is beautiful and treats mother with all her heart. She goes out of her way to get her whatever she wants to eat. Before my father died and was paralyzed in bed, Yun Shi hired someone to take care of him meticulously. Can you do it?"
"I..." Wu Yishu opened her mouth and stammered, "But she can't give birth. I have your flesh and blood, so we are a family."
"If you weren't pregnant, do you think I would marry you?"
Wu Yishu's tears fell. Zhong Jianmin had feelings for her after all. He said, "Alright, what's there to be wronged about? You're just a female doctor, and you're not satisfied with marrying me. You should be filial to your mother in the future. Things like today can't happen again. Do you understand?"
Wu Yishu dug her nails into the flesh, "I know...I know."
