The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuanshuo felt a little strange when he saw that Gu Qinghuai's focus was on Captain Fu's surname.

Gu Qinghuai looked at him and said, "My late husband Zhou Duoyin's family may have the surname Fu, and they were from Beilu County. There is a word 'Fu' engraved on the jade pendant."

When Qi Yuanshuo heard Gu Qinghuai mention her dead husband, his heart skipped a beat. He carefully observed Gu Qinghuai's expression, afraid that he would see an expression on her face that would make him sad.

Fortunately, Sister Xiaohuai looked calm, as if there was nothing else on her mind except confusion and suspicion.

"So, you suspect... Zhou Duoyin's life experience may be related to Captain Fu?" Qi Yuanshuo asked.

"Well, because of coincidence. Zhou Genchang's father used to be a cook of the Beilu border army, and Zhou Duoyin was brought back by him. Perhaps, they really have some relationship." Gu Qinghuai felt cold all over, so he put his hands in his sleeves and covered his chest.

She hadn't fed Xiao Huhu for several days, and her breasts were so swollen that it felt uncomfortable. The towel she had been putting on her chest might have gotten wet again, and the cold air came over her, making her chest feel icy.

Qi Yuanshuo was slightly surprised: "That's really possible. Sister Xiaohuai, I'll check it out when I get back to the barracks."

Gu Qinghuai shuddered, shrinking his neck and said, "Okay, but don't alert the enemy. If that Captain Fu is really Zhou Duoyin's family, whether he is a friendly army or not is still unknown. It seems that his family is not the kind of people who can't afford to raise a child, but they are willing to give the child away, and let the Zhou family torture the child, and no one cares whether he lives or dies. How good can they be like this?"

Seeing that Gu Qinghuai was so cold, Qi Yuanshuo wanted to hold her in his arms, but he felt that it was against etiquette.

But on second thought, he felt that etiquette was not as important as Sister Xiaohuai's health.

He bravely stretched out his arm, put his arm around Gu Qinghuai's shoulders, pulled her closer to his side, and said softly, "Are you feeling warmer?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling better," Gu Qinghuai didn't act shy and simply moved closer to him, and the two of them snuggled up to each other.

In the cold winter, animals in the mountains and forests probably keep warm in this way.

The young man was indeed very hot and his body was as hot as a stove. Gu Qinghuai felt like he was next to a human-shaped stove and felt a lot warmer.

Qi Yuanshuo tried his best to ignore his pounding heart and dry throat and appear normal.

He thought about Captain Fu's character and felt that he was not the kind of cold-hearted person who would abandon a child, so he said, "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. Let's find out the truth first. There are many things in this world that are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

"Well, that's good, Xiao Shitou, you have become more calm and rational in thinking about problems." Gu Qinghuai looked at Qi Yuanshuo with admiration.

"Sister Xiaohuai, you are too kind." Qi Yuanshuo blushed, but the corners of his lips were raised. He thought for a moment and said, "Sister Xiaohuai, can you give me the letter and jade pendant that prove Zhou Duoyin's identity?"

When the Zhou people went to make trouble, Sister Xiaohuai took out those things, and he had seen them.

"Well, I'll give it to you when you return to the military camp so that it will be convenient for you to investigate," Gu Qinghuai breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt that Zhou Duoyin was very pitiful. He had been tortured by the Zhou family since he was a child and was worked to death at such a young age. His short life was almost entirely filled with hardships and misery.

As Zhou Duoyin's "widow", Gu Qinghuai felt that she should seek justice for him and not let him leave this world so easily.

Moreover, he is Xiao Huhu's biological father. Finding out his life experience is also an explanation to Xiao Huhu.

Qi Yuanshuo responded with "OK".

"Xiao Shitou, thank you," Gu Qinghuai looked up at Qi Yuanshuo, but only saw his well-defined jawline.

This guy has grown taller and seems to have started to grow a Adam's apple, with a noticeable bulge on his long neck.

"Why are you thanking me?" Qi Yuanshuo's eyes were full of tenderness, and he raised his hand to rub the dog-skin hat on her head.

Gu Qinghuai felt his head getting hot, as if he had turned into a puppy being rubbed on the head by its owner. His heart suddenly felt warm: "Little Stone, don't worry. If that General Chang dares to bully you, I will never let him off easily! I will find a way to help you get what you deserve!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuanshuo raised the corners of his lips high, and the great joy in his eyes turned into bright stars.

He didn't realize that his voice was so gentle that it made people's hearts tremble: "Sister Xiaohuai, I'm already very happy that you think this way. But you don't have to do anything for me. I don't want you to be too tired. In front of me, you can do whatever you want and lie down completely."

This boy is really good at flirting!

Gu Qinghuai felt his cheeks getting a little hot.

She coughed lightly to hide her discomfort: "Why should I be tired? It's just a matter of killing a few annoying people."

Qi Yuanshuo chuckled and said, "Okay, whatever you like."

Gu Qinghuai suddenly remembered another thing: "Oh, by the way, when you were in Beiman, the Third Prince went to Beilu County and stayed in Zhoujia Village when he passed through Qinghe County."

Qi Yuanshuo frowned slightly: "Qi Yuanyu? Why would he suddenly go to the northern border when the end of the year is approaching?"

Gu Qinghuai smiled faintly: "I guess there are only three purposes: first, to seek fame and reputation in the court under the banner of entertaining the troops; second, to win over General Chang; third, to conduct on-site investigation to see whether Aren Ge and Xiaohuo are really dead."

However, to Gu Qinghuai's surprise, when the Third Prince stayed overnight in Zhoujia Village this time, Zhou Cuiwan did not climb into bed with him. Instead, she made an excuse to go to her maternal grandparents' house, thus avoiding the Third Prince.

Gu Qinghuai was therefore certain that Zhou Cuiwan was indeed reborn.

She might have known that even if the Third Prince succeeded in ascending to that position, it would not last long, and he would eventually be destroyed by Qi Yuanshuo.

So, she doesn't plan to rely on the third prince anymore?

However, Gu Qinghuai certainly couldn't tell Qi Yuanshuo about these things.

Otherwise, it cannot be explained.

Qi Yuanshuo said in a deep voice: "Sister Xiaohuai's analysis is correct. My eldest brother was deposed and demoted to a commoner. There is no crown prince in the court at present. Qi Yuanyu must be trying his best to get that position. The more court officials he can win over, the better chance he has of winning."

Qi Yuanshuo paused, then said fiercely: "I will definitely find enough evidence to bring all those who harmed my eldest brother, my mother, and my maternal family to justice!"

Seeing Qi Yuanshuo frowning and looking sad, Gu Qinghuai said with a relaxed look: "Little Stone, don't think too much. I think you and Brother Aren should be very clear about the truth of the murder that year, and you also know that it was those people who did it. I don't think you need to find any evidence, nor do you need to use the evidence to overturn the case. First accumulate strength, and wait until one day, you are strong enough to directly disclose the truth of the matter to the entire Great Xia Dynasty and expose their crimes! It doesn't matter whether there is enough evidence or not, and it is meaningless. The real purpose is to let those evil people get the retribution they deserve."
