From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

At night, the general's mansion.

It was a little cold today, and it was drizzling. The weather was a little chilly, and it was a little late when Xu Wang came back from the palace. He walked in wearing a straw raincoat, took it off after entering the door, and turned around and walked towards the study without saying a word.

He didn't even drink the warming ginger soup that Mrs. Xu made for him.

Mrs. Xu's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

"Madam." Seeing this, the maid Qi'er came up to comfort her.

At this time, another maid of Madam Xu said in surprise: "It's strange, why has the general been coming back later and later recently? He was not like this before."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Na Qi'er winking at her, signaling her to stop talking. The lady was already in a bad mood today, so she couldn't bear to hear such words.

The maid shut her mouth immediately.

But Tang Yueer, who was standing at the side, took up the topic. She smiled and said, "Some men have enough to eat and drink outside, so when they return home, they are naturally indifferent to the women at home."

It starts again!

Qi'er feels upset whenever she hears her say such things!

I really fear that the world will not be in chaos.

"Don't talk nonsense. The general used to eat at home and seldom ate out. How could he be full and satisfied outside?" Qi'er shouted anxiously.

"Pfft!" Her answer made Tang Yueer laugh.

Mrs. Xu understood what she meant, so she sat down and asked, "What do you mean by that?" After thinking for a while, she asked again, "Last time you said you would keep an eye on the general to prevent him from having someone outside. Is there any sign of that again?"

When Mrs. Xu asked this question, she was very unsure because it had not been long since the incident in Plum Blossom Alley.

This is also a bit too fast.

"Not really." Tang Yue'er gave her a reassurance.

But before Madam Xu could completely calm down, Tang Yueer said, "But Madam, when I was investigating outside recently, I found out something."

"What is it?" Mrs. Xu asked in surprise.

"It is widely rumored in the Great Zhou that General Xu once traveled thousands of miles to the Great Zhou and risked his life to rescue a beloved. Does Madam know about this?"

sweetheart?

Mrs. Xu was very surprised when she heard these things. This was the first time she heard these things. Xu Wang had never told her about them before.

"I don't know when this happened?" asked Mrs. Xu.

"Come to think of it, my wife should have already married into the general's mansion at that time. It seems that General Xu deliberately hid it from you." Tang Yue'er shook her head.

Mrs. Xu's heart sank.

This is a serious matter. It is not as simple as just keeping a mistress outside. To put it bluntly, keeping a mistress is nothing more than physical needs. But it is serious that General Xu has another woman in his heart.

Qi'er couldn't listen any longer and immediately stood up and said, "What do you mean by sweetheart or not? You also said that General Xu had rescued that person a long time ago. If he was sincere, why didn't he try every means to bring her back to the mansion? After so many years, that kind of irresistible feeling would have revealed some signs anyway. Madam doesn't know anything until now, so I don't think there will be any big problems."

Mrs. Xu thought so too.

She had never heard of it from beginning to end.

But Tang Yueer chuckled and said, "But Madam, you are a scholar, you should know that love is not just about talking about it every day, or being with you day and night."

“Love that accomplishes the other is greater.”

Achievement?

Such words gave Mrs. Xu goose bumps all over her body. Fear crawled all over her body. She almost didn't dare to ask, but after hesitating for a while, she still asked: "She, who is she?"

Seeing that she had fallen into the trap, Tang Yueer smiled and said, "After she came back from the Zhou Dynasty, General Xu served as her strong backing and sought the greatest benefits for her!"

Tang Yue'er said word by word: "She is the queen!"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her arm trembled, and the ginger soup on the table fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into pieces.

Northwest, desert.

"Where is that piece of trash? Why didn't you bring that piece of trash back to me?" Not long after Shen Bishui went in, Chu An's angry voice was heard from inside.

"I gave the Witch Clan to him so that he could strengthen it, but I didn't expect him to turn it into this." If the people lose their support, the entire Witch Clan will be ruined.

Chu An had hesitated when he tried to save Zhou Ziyue, wondering whether it would be useful to save this prisoner.

Remember, he has already failed once.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Shen Bishui's persistence made him try again.

But I didn't expect retribution to come so soon.

Even the Wu Sect, which had such a strong popular support, could be turned into this by him.

What else can he not screw up?

So the day before yesterday, Chu An asked Shen Bishui to go to the Wumen to ask her to bring Zhou Ziyue back and take back his status as the Wu Master. Now that he saw that Shen Bishui didn't bring anyone back, he was naturally very angry.

Chu was so angry that he secretly wished he could get rid of that piece of trash himself.

But Shen Bishui stopped him and said, "General Chu! General Chu, calm down."

She explained for Zhou Ziyue, "I have already criticized him for this matter. You also know that he is obsessed with that woman. When he saw her, he couldn't help but want to marry her, so he fell into someone else's trap."

“Did he fall into someone else’s trap?” Chu An was speechless. “He was killed by that woman. Not only did others not fall into the trap he designed, but he was also set up by others. He…”

Chu An couldn't continue. He felt it would be embarrassing to let others know that he was the one who saved him. He might as well go and catch him right now. So he pretended to leave.

Shen Bishui certainly couldn't let Zhou Ziyue lose his status as the witch master. She knew that she and Zhou Ziyue were in the same group, so she grabbed him and said, "General Chu, give him another chance. We will have a chance to assassinate Emperor Zhou!"

Chu An then stopped and looked at her suspiciously.

Before, he sent people to secretly keep an eye on Emperor Zhou but he didn’t have a chance. Now he has a chance?

Although Chu An agreed to cooperate with Shen Bishui, he actually didn't manage much. Most of the time, it was Shen Bishui who was watching over them. She said, "Emperor Zhou and the Seventh Prince Bai Yanli have fallen out. Now that Bai Yanli and Tang Wanru have left the Qiao Mansion, Emperor Zhou is the only one left in the mansion."

Oh?

And this thing?

Chu An’s eyes narrowed.

"General Chu, now is a good time to take action. The Wu Clan can take action in Liang." Shen Bishui said.

Chu An then stopped. In this case, he would give Zhou Ziyue another chance.
