To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

It was bright.

The Chen family’s door was closed.

Mrs. Lu was also invited back. Facing such an experienced old general, her legs trembled. It was only right and reasonable for her to kneel down and salute.

"I have met the old general."

When the old general looked at her, Fangfei was so frightened that she trembled all over. She quickly took Lu's arm and helped her to the wooden chair next to the old general.

Bai Zhenan leaned back in his chair. He was strong, but the wooden chair creaked and he looked frail.

"You are Luoxue's mother-in-law. We have never met, but we should have all the proper etiquette." He said, "But why did my daughter lose her child? Why is her body covered with wounds? Why was she imprisoned?!"

Mrs. Lu looked at her son in surprise, "Zhao'er, what's going on!?"

Chen Zhao's legs ached and his heart was numb from kneeling. The moment he saw his father-in-law, he collapsed. He knew clearly that the last bit of affection he had with Bai Luoxue was gone.

"The doctor told her to protect the fetus, but she kept going out. Father-in-law, it was Bai Luoxue who wanted to leave me and go find Jiang Jing."

Jiang Jing? Hearing these two words, Bai Zhenan's heart skipped a beat and his face suddenly changed. His wife died early, and he only had this one daughter. He knew exactly what Xue'er was thinking.

I like Jiang Jing.

The thing I want to do most is to marry Jiang Jing.

Who would have thought that the place where Jiang Jing was exiled was Chen Zhao's hometown.

He said in a deep voice: "Xue'er has never been wronged since she was a child, but she lives with you in this poor little village. She went to find Jiang Jing because she remembered their childhood friendship. In addition, you lied first. In fact, you have a wife. Xue'er was wronged to be a concubine, but you were eating, drinking, whoring and gambling outside."

Pointing to the peasant girl kneeling beside him.

"He even took a concubine! Do you really think you're a general!?"

Chen Zhao's palms were covered with sweat. He kowtowed and said, "Father-in-law, I know I was wrong! The tendons in my right hand are broken. Luo Xue is devoted to Jiang Jing. I really don't want to live anymore!"

Bai Zhenan widened his eyes in shock.

"You, your right hand is broken?"

Chen Zhao hesitated and nodded reluctantly, "Yes, I might as well die like this."

There was very little content in the letter.

Xueer only said that she was bullied and imprisoned and needed him to rescue her.

Bai Zhen'an put his hands behind his back and looked around at the people in the yard. There was a layer of frost on his face and his whole body exuded majesty, which was the general's innate sense of murderousness.

He clenched his fists and said, "Tell me in detail what happened after Chen Zhao returned to the village!"

Fangfei was hesitating and Chen Zhao didn't dare to say anything.

Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears and recalled the past: "Then let me tell you. Zhao'er was captured. My daughter-in-law and I waited day and night for him to come back. Finally, he came back with a woman, the general's daughter, Bai Luoxue. I admit that Bai Luoxue is indeed beautiful and of noble status, but my eyes and life belong to my daughter-in-law. I don't agree, so Bai Luoxue is willing to be a concubine..."

The rain on the eaves slowly falls down.

Listened to her words.

Bai Zhenan's heart turned cold as he looked at his daughter who walked out of the door. "Is she right? You are thinking about Jiang Jing, while he is thinking about Jiusu. The couple are sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, each with their own ulterior motives. How can they live a good life?"

These days, Bai Luoxue couldn't eat or sleep well.

Physically thin and mentally weak.

She knelt on the ground and cried, "Father, Chen Zhao and I can't live well anymore. I don't want to continue like this. Please take your daughter back!"

Fang Fei pulled at the young lady's sleeve, revealing her hideous scars, and said, "Master, the young lady has been tortured. A few days ago, she even cut her wrists and committed suicide. Please, for the sake of the young lady who has been without a mother since she was a child, please pamper her for the last time."

"Daughter!" Bai Zhenan, a tall figure, bent down for his daughter. Looking at the deep scars, he shed two lines of tears. "I will take you away! It was my fault. I should have come to see you earlier."

Bai Luoxue cried so hard that her face turned red, "A daughter should listen to her father..."

Chen Zhao hugged Bai Zhenan's legs and couldn't hold back any longer and screamed.

"Father-in-law! Luoxue! Don't leave. I was wrong. I will definitely treat Luoxue well in the future. Father-in-law, please don't take her away."

Bai Zhenan kicked the man away, and Hu Yinjun pinned Chen Zhao to the ground.

He snorted coldly: "My daughter, Bai Zhenan, has never been bullied before. The divorce papers will be delivered soon. Remember, this is not a discussion with you, this is a notification to you."

Chen Zhao tried hard but couldn't break free of Hu Yinjun's finger.

His veins popped out and he roared, "I am a general appointed by the emperor! Aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame?"

Bai Zhenan paused and laughed in a deep voice: "Is it because our Bai family is too good that you forgot to look in the mirror? Your position as general is not important. The emperor is interested in me. The new general has only strength but no brains. He abuses his power to oppress others and eats, drinks, gambles and prostitutes. Why does the emperor blame me for killing my relatives for the sake of justice?"

After the people walked away, Hu Yinjun grabbed Chen Zhao by the collar and asked him to stand up straight. At the end, he did not forget to mock him.

"General Chen, goodbye."

After the battle was won, everyone lifted him above their heads, threw him up, caught him, threw him up again, and caught him again. What did they hold in their mouths?

Oh, hero.

Luoxue was wearing a beautiful dress and standing at the door of the tent, looking at him with a smile, as if praising his bravery.

"I feel so dizzy." Chen Zhao closed his eyes and placed his hands on his forehead, with a smile on his sad face.

Looking at her son kneeling on the ground, laughing and crying, Mrs. Lu felt sad. She thought he might be stimulated by this, so she bent down and said softly.

"Zhao'er? The ground is cold, go inside and sleep."

"Mom." Chen Zhao opened his eyes, held her hand, and said happily, "I won the battle. When I come back, I will make sure you and Jiusu live a good life."

Jiusu? Mrs. Lu was stunned, and was sure that her son had gone mad.

"Go back to the house."

Zheng Rouer took Chen Zhao's arm, and together they helped Chen Zhao back to the house and covered him with a quilt. He was still talking nonsense, all he could think of was 'Jiusu'.

outside the house.

Lu advised: "You are a good child, but my son is a bastard."

Zheng Rouer lowered her head and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"Auntie, I don't regret it."

Mrs. Lu didn't say anything else, but went back to the room, lay on the bed, buried her head in her arms, and cried softly, "Zhao'er, Zhao'er, if you had known this would happen, why did you do that in the first place?"

-

The next day, the news spread throughout Suming County.

When Qian Junjie learned that Jiusu had returned, he described what happened in Chenjia Village with exaggeration: "It's a pity that I should have been lying on the wall and watching this drama."

Jiusu pinched a piece of rosewood pastry.

I've been running around and haven't slept well, so I have dark circles under my eyes.

She chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that the old general is quite fond of Bai Luoxue."

Qian Junjie took two sips of the scented tea. Wow, it was quite fragrant. Hearing her words, he sneered twice and said unhappily: "Master, you are still laughing. Now, they are staying in the inn nearby and are asking for news about you."
