The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Among those who came here today, there were many who respected him, so when they learned that he was dying, they all rushed to visit him and to see Ge Dongqing take his last breath.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t hope for his well-being, it’s that the rumors are spreading like wildfire. Everyone says that he is dying and has no chance of survival, so everyone put down their official duties and prepared generous gifts!

Sha Guanghan is a general, but he has a rough personality and speaks very differently from the civil servants. He hates roundabout ways the most and all his thoughts and energy are focused on fighting and deploying troops.

He looked at Ge Dongqing, who was covered in wounds, and did not think that he was dying. He had seen many dead people, and he had seen many dying people. He knew what expression a seriously injured person who was about to die should have.

However, on Ge Dongqing's face, he could not see the expression that a seriously injured person should have. The fear of death, pain, despair, indifference, and helplessness were not shown on Ge Dongqing's face.

On the contrary, this man's eyes were clear, bright, and even a little comfortable. It was obvious that this man would not die. Could it be that he had no injuries? But on second thought, it was unrealistic. The bandits were so brutal. How could they only hit Ge Dongqing in the face? Thinking of this, Sha Guanghan asked Ge Dongqing: "Master Ge, seeing that your eyes are bright and you are full of energy, the injuries on your body should not be serious!"

Ge Dongqing was stunned. He couldn't even get out of bed. Didn't he look fine? His face sticking out from the quilt didn't tell the whole story? How would he look to be considered seriously injured? What a Sha Guanghan. He really thought that this gentleman was a strong and sturdy man like him, Sha Guanghan!

Fortunately, Ge Dongqing didn't like to play the victim. Even though he was injured and couldn't get out of bed, he pretended to be fine. So he said, "I have been dealing with the bandits for a while. They are outnumbered. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I am still no match for them. Although I was injured, it's nothing serious!"

The maidservant standing by the side frowned. If she hadn't been needed to serve, she would have stayed away from her master. Still trying to deal with him? The servants said that their master was a jerk who was sent to the bandits to vent their anger. When they went to rescue the master and He Ye, their master was hanging on the tree and had been beaten countless times.

At this time, an official of a lower rank said, "I heard that Lord Ge is very brave and single-handedly wiped out a group of bandits. Lord Ge saved more than one woman! If you wiped out that bandit's nest, it means that thousands of women will no longer fall into their hands. From now on, when we walk through the southern city, we will not only no longer be afraid of bandits, but we will also remember Lord Ge's kindness! Ge Dongqing's selfless sacrifice should be a role model for us!"

This man is much more talkative than Sha Guanghan. Ge Dongqing was immediately flattered by this flattery. He pretended to be modest and said: "As a beggar, I should love the people like my own children. This is our duty and it is not worth mentioning!"

Just as everyone was praising Ge Dongqing, Sha Guanghan said, "I heard that your wife, Lu Siniang, also went to the bandit's lair!"

Although Ge Dongqing liked to hear everyone's flattery, he did not dare to overturn the facts. He did not want to take credit for Lu Siniang's suppression of bandits, but he also did not want to make himself sound too weak and vulnerable.

"Si Niang and I are of the same mind, so we are particularly adept at eliminating bandits!" Husband and wife are one body, they are one family. No one can find fault with him saying this, and he doesn't need to feel guilty!

"Is your wife Lu Siniang not injured?" Sha Guanghan glanced around the room, and except for the two servants, he did not see Lu Siniang at all. Could it be that this person was also injured as seriously as Ge Dongqing, and was recuperating in another room in the mansion? Everyone had already started to speculate wildly at this time.

Fortunately, his miserable face could cover up his embarrassment at the moment. Apart from women, there was no situation that Ge Dongqing could not handle. "Madam is quite skilled and was not injured. However, she is the head appointed by the emperor himself and is always concerned about the weaving workshop. She has already gone to the weaving workshop!"

There are always people who flatter him: "Lord Ge is so lucky, he has a good wife and will not suffer any misfortunes..." The room suddenly became quiet. Everyone knew that a good wife would not suffer any misfortunes, but Ge Dongqing fell to the bed after fighting with the bandits. Isn't this a misfortune? This flattery was obviously inappropriate! At this time, the person who spoke also realized that he had used the wrong words, and immediately changed his words, "Uh... A good wife is worth ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of gold, hehehe!"

Don't even mention how awkward this person's smile was. At this moment, another person who could speak stood up and said, "Lord Ge would rather sacrifice his life than let his wife get hurt. He is a real man! If you want to marry someone, you should marry someone like Lord Ge. He is the role model we should learn from!"

The maidservant on the side was completely speechless. Why did these people make up stories without asking any questions? His master was not injured to protect his wife. The reason why his wife was unscathed and safe was because his wife was a martial arts expert. These people didn't know where they heard it from, but it was their wife who bravely and fearlessly eradicated the bandit's nest, and the master was just a punching bag for the bandits!

At the end of the day, Ge Dongqing was very tired. Not only did he not get a good rest, but he also spent the whole day flattering officials. At the beginning, he felt very happy to hear everyone's flattery, but after a whole day, he became bored.

When Lu Siniang came back from the weaving workshop, Ge Dongqing was still lying on his bed.

The moment Ge Dongqing saw Lu Si Niang, he felt unwell all of a sudden. He explained, "Today, many colleagues came to visit me. As the head of the family, if word gets out that I live in a side room, everyone will think that you are not a virtuous person. How can I let you bear such a bad reputation?"

Unvirtuous? Upon hearing this, Lu Siniang couldn't help but let out a mocking smile. In terms of talking, Lu Siniang was no match for Ge Dongqing, but in terms of facts, Lu Siniang wouldn't necessarily lose.

Take the matter of Ge Dongqing sleeping in the concubine room, for example. It has nothing to do with Lu Siniang. It was because Ge Dongqing looked down on Lu Siniang that he went to live in the concubine room on the wedding day. He lived there for four years. What does it have to do with whether Siniang is virtuous or not? Isn't this just turning the tables!

Seeing that Lu Si Niang didn't respond to his words, Ge Dongqing pretended to stand up with difficulty and said to the little maid Lian'er: "Help me back to the side room. If someone comes to visit me later, help me back!"
