Chapter 117 If Line: If Song Jinhe is Reborn (6)
Sure enough, a few days later, news reached the capital that General Song had suddenly fallen ill at the border and had his tendons brutally cut by spies from the enemy country.
All the officials were shocked when they heard this, and the emperor on the throne was even more heartbroken. He immediately ordered that famous doctors must be sought to cure General Song.
General Song was seriously ill and injured by enemy spies who took advantage of his situation. Now, let alone leading troops into battle, even his daily life is difficult.
General Song was devastated and, under the pretext of returning to the capital to recuperate, he directly handed over the tiger talisman and resigned from the post of General Guarding the Country.
Emperor Caohe looked at the tiger talisman handed over by Song Jun, and in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, his face was full of grief. He said that as soon as he recovered in the future, he would immediately restore Song Jun to the position of general.
He was already ecstatic and wanted to replace the former with his own people immediately.
The man sitting in the wheelchair had a pale face and looked tired. He also cooperated with the emperor's hypocritical concern.
When Song Jinyun, who was in the harem, learned that her elder brother had returned the tiger talisman and even resigned from the position of general, she felt a chill all over her body.
Under the pretext of visiting her elder brother who was recuperating from illness, Song Jinyun came to the general's mansion, no, it can only be called the Song Mansion now.
Seeing her elder brother half-lying on the hospital bed, his cheeks sunken and his face full of sickness, Song Jinyun's complaints and questions all turned into one sentence, "Brother, how...how did you become like this?"
Song Jun was holding a book in his hand, with thick gauze wrapped around his wrist, and faint blood was visible.
Hearing his sister's tearful words, he didn't say much. He protected this sister too well. When she entered the palace as a concubine, he tried his best to take care of everything so that she could feel more comfortable in the palace.
In addition, the emperor was afraid of the military command in his hand, so he naturally doted on his sister.
Now that the tiger talisman has been handed over, his sister's life may not be so comfortable in the future.
But this is only temporary.
Song Jun didn't say much, and even pretended to be very ill.
The emperor's willingness to let his sister out of the palace to visit relatives was actually a test.
Song Jinyun returned to the palace with red eyes, and after returning to the palace, she hid in her bedroom and cried for a long time.
All of this was reported to the emperor by his spies.
The emperor was in a good mood. From then on, he no longer had to care about the Song family's attitude, or even suffer the anger of that bitch Song Jinyun.
That night he favored several beauties.
If it were any other time, knowing that Concubine Yun was crying, I would naturally go and comfort her.
Now, not long after General Song returned the tiger talisman, Concubine Yun had already fallen out of favor.
All the officials noticed that the emperor neglected Concubine Yun, and the Song family might really lose power.
But even if the Song family loses power, there is still the Wei family.
The position of Duke Wei is unshakable, especially since he is still working in the Grand Council. The second master of the Wei family is now the deputy commander of the Palace Front Office, and his future is limitless.
Now that the Song family has lost power, the Wei family is not in a hurry to retreat.
Otherwise, the purpose would be too obvious and would arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Song Jinhe was also busy. She had her brother-in-law find He Zhixian, who was just a country doctor now. But she knew that in her previous life, it was thanks to Old He that Zi Yang's life was saved several times.
He Zhixian had never expected that the person who knocked him unconscious and tied him up was actually someone from the Duke of Wei's Mansion. In addition, the Duke's wife treated him with courtesy, so the resentment in his heart naturally dissipated a lot.
Upon learning that the Duke's wife wanted to invite him to be the official physician of the Duke's Mansion and offered him a lot of preferential treatment, He Zhixian, who loved studying medicine, naturally agreed.
Unexpectedly, just after he agreed, the Duke's wife came to him to ask for a medicine that could make people say everything they wanted to say inadvertently.
He Zhixian immediately stated that he was a serious doctor, not one of those shady people.
Song Jinhe just smiled and said calmly, "I know Doctor He has it."
Such a firm tone made He Zhixian feel as if he was being stripped naked.
He... really does.
On the other side, Zhu Qinghan watched her husband come back drunk with his colleagues and friends. Now that she was eight months pregnant and almost nine months pregnant, her body felt heavier and heavier.
She could only order the maid to help the drunk man into the house.
Zhu Qinghan, who was pregnant, looked at the man lying on the bed. Ever since he was promoted to the fifth rank and became the Hanlin Minister, she always felt that her husband had become much colder towards her.
Women are very emotionally sensitive during pregnancy.
Zhu Qinghan shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking.
How could the man who had slept in the same bed with her for so many years and even had a falling out with his father because of him be such a person?
Zhu Qinghan comforted himself, holding his stomach and slowly walked out of the room filled with the smell of alcohol.
The maid who was helping the man wash and dress brought a bowl of sobering medicine and carefully fed it to the man on the bed.
Watching the man drink up the hangover medicine without leaving a drop, a glimmer of light flashed in the maid's eyes.
The next day, Su Chengyi woke up from bed and felt a splitting headache.
It happened to be a day off today, so I didn't have to go to court, but several colleagues and friends were coming to my house, so I had to force myself to get up.
After washing up, I went to the dining room and saw my wife with a big belly and a smiling face. A smile naturally appeared on my face. I sat down and asked her how she was feeling these days.
His handsome and gentle face matched with his soft eyes made the maidservant serving beside him sigh that the relationship between the master and the mistress was really good.
Zhu Qinghan looked at her husband's gentle and considerate inquiries, and the discomfort she had felt last night gradually dissipated.
Su Chengyi looked at his wife beside him, but suddenly his mind recalled the words he said when he was drinking and chatting with his colleagues.
"Brother Su is now a fifth-rank minister. If he wants to be promoted in the future, it takes more than just good political achievements~"
"The higher the official position, the more status and position one desires..."
"Brother Su has gone from being a poor scholar to a fifth-rank minister, which is the pinnacle."
"Look at those ministers. They all come from prominent families. Even the Minister of Rites, like you, is a talented scholar from a humble family. But he got lucky and married the daughter of the Grand Tutor, which allowed him to rise to prominence!"
"Brother Su, if you had married later, with your face, you could have been favored by a princess or a county magistrate, not to mention a Grand Tutor or a Grand Master... What a pity... you married a merchant's daughter."
These words were like a thorn in my side, circling in my mind over and over again.
The gentle smile in his eyes gradually cooled.
Zhu Qinghan sensed a hint of coldness and looked up, only to find that the smile on her husband's face remained.
When colleagues came to his house for a gathering, Su Chengyi naturally treated them well.
After drinking tea in the courtyard, they went to the study to discuss official business.
Zhu Qinghan prepared some pastries, and as Su Chengyi's wife, she wanted to deliver them personally.
But just as she arrived outside the study, she heard a sentence that made her completely depressed.
"It would have been better if I hadn't gotten married so early."
The following words were like devilish sounds piercing his ears, one after another, like sharp blades piercing Zhu Qinghan's heart.
"The daughters of merchants are still inferior to the daughters of officials."
"I married her because of the Zhu family's status in Nanling. I never thought Zhu Qinghan would be so stubborn and go straight to the Zhu family to cut off contact."
"Then why did Brother Su marry someone again?"
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. This woman's dowry and business acumen are extraordinary..."
"After I became an official, she helped me a lot."
"It's a pity that it's of no use to me now."
…
After the last sentence was spoken, Zhu Qinghan felt his vision go dark.
And the person who said these words, the voice was indeed her husband who had slept with her for eight years.
It turns out...it turns out...she was just a stepping stone on his road to officialdom...
Now that she was useless to him...he regretted marrying her?
Hahahaha…how can it be…so…ridiculous!
Looking back now, the things she did for him were so stupid...ridiculous!
There seemed to be double images in front of his eyes, and his stomach was in pain, and Zhu Qinghan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
In the study, several colleagues wondered how Su Chengyi dared to say such words so blatantly at home today.
Isn’t he afraid that his wife will hear about it?
But he was so generous and outspoken, and as a good friend, I naturally responded as usual.
A maid's exclamation came from the door.
Su Chengyi came to his senses in an instant and quickly opened the door.
At the door, a woman, pale as paper, collapsed on the ground, holding her belly, looked at him with cold disgust...
Su Chengyi's pupils narrowed. Did she hear everything?
