The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

When Zhao Rong saw Song Zhirou again, his eyes were complicated, "Aunt Song!"

When Song Zhirou heard Zhao Rong calling her like that, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes became moist, "Cousin, you blame me, don't you?"

In the past, Zhao Rong would feel very distressed when he saw Song Zhirou like this.

Song Zhirou is in poor health. Although Zhao Rong is one year younger than her, in their daily interactions, Zhao Rong takes care of her like a brother.

In the mansion, Zhao Rong and Song Zhirou actually spend more time together.

Because Zhao Zhen was not often at home, and was more often in the military camp, he had few opportunities to accompany Song Zhirou.

Zhao Rong grew up with Song Zhirou.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Rong feels so complicated about his cousin who abandoned him at the critical moment.

"Mrs. Song, what are you talking about? What's the point of complaining?"

"Cousin, why don't you call me cousin, but Aunt Song?"

Zhao Rong said calmly, "Aren't you my eldest brother's concubine now? What's wrong with me calling you that?"

Song Zhirou: “........”

Song Zhirou's face froze, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

She looked at Zhao Rong with tears in her eyes, “Cousin, you are still blaming me.

At that time, the horse suddenly moved forward. I was in the carriage and had no way to stop the horse. In addition, the Hu people rushed up, and I was very scared.

Cousin, I want to save you, you have to believe me."

Zhao Rong couldn't believe what he heard. If he hadn't seen the whip moving with his own eyes, he would probably have believed his cousin's lies.

This is the woman he has kept in his heart for many years. How ridiculous!

"Cousin, you have to believe me, I am your cousin!" Song Zhirou continued to plead.

Zhao Rong smiled with relief. At this moment he felt that he had completely let go of his cousin.

Over the years, he has seen through his cousin's kindness.

"Aunt Song, the past is the past. There is no need to talk about it anymore." Zhao Rong interrupted Song Zhirou's crying.

Song Zhirou: “........”

Song Zhirou looked at Zhao Rong, and she realized that at this moment, the Zhao Rong in front of her was not the person she knew.

"Cousin, then...can you keep this secret and not let your cousin and aunt know?"

Zhao Rong looked at Song Zhirou's expression and completely lost his warmth. "Don't worry, Aunt Song. Since I haven't told Big Brother, I won't say a word more in the future."

Song Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, cousin!"

Zhao Rong didn't want to see Song Zhirou anymore, "Aunt Song, I'll leave first."

After saying this, regardless of Song Zhirou's reaction, he strode away.

Song Zhirou looked at Zhao Rong's back, her eyes full of ruthlessness.

If it wasn't for him, why would she go to find Hu Wanchou and how could she lose her innocence.

The culprit behind all this is Zhao Rong.

How could she feel at ease if he was still alive?

However, she had no chance to take action now and could only slowly calm Zhao Rong down.

Song Zhirou put on her cap and turned away without hesitation.

Song Zhirou didn't know that her meeting with Zhao Rong was being monitored.

Xu Nuo reported everything he heard to Zhao Zhen without missing a word.

Zhao Zhen frowned tightly, "You heard it right, my cousin asked the third brother not to let me and mother know about something?"

Xu Nuo nodded, "Yes, Master, that's what Aunt Song told me."

Zhao Zhen fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the table. What was going on?

How many things is his cousin hiding from him?

When Zhao Zhen thought of this, his eyes became complicated.

The first lesson Zhao Zhen was taught by Zhenbei Hou was to practice drinking.

Zhao Zhen was very clear about his alcohol tolerance. He only drank a few glasses that day, so how could he sleep so soundly?

This means that his cousin had drugged his wine.

When he woke up the next day, Zhao Zhen found him and Song Zhirou lying naked on the bed.

Zhao Zhen tried hard to recall, but had no memory of the previous night.

But his cousin looked shy, and the blood on the bed reminded him that he and his cousin had consummated their marriage.

But Zhao Zhen was trained as the heir to the Marquis's Mansion, and he was not a good-for-nothing.

He felt that there was something strange about this matter and that his cousin must be hiding something from him.

That's why he asked the guards to monitor Song Zhirou's actions.

Unexpectedly, I heard such a meaningless sentence today.

Zhao Zhen felt that, according to that meaning, his cousin had done something wrong to Zhao Rong.

But what could happen between the two of them?

"Xu You, keep watching your cousin and see who she met and what she said."

"Yes, eldest son!"

Xu You was very confused and didn't understand why Zhao Zhen made such an arrangement, but he would not object.

I just wonder why Zhao Zhen has become so much colder towards my cousin.

The cousin made a big fuss to let everyone know that she and the eldest master had consummated their marriage, but the eldest master was not happy at all.

And he didn't go to see his cousin for several days.

Now he is being monitored.

Xu You left with a lot of questions in his mind.

After the guards left, Zhao Zhen recalled what Cai Ping said in Yanbei City Prison.

He had an impression of Cui Yan, the little maidservant who served his mother. She was a little girl who smiled all day long. Was she really killed by his cousin?

At this moment, Zhao Zhen began to doubt Song Zhirou.

Perhaps the cousin he had met was just the side of his cousin that she wanted to show him.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen felt that Qin Wan was easier to understand than Song Zhirou.

At least Qin Wan was real in front of him.

"Is there someone coming?"

Mo Xuan walked in, "Young Master!"

"Go to Youzhou City and buy some tonic medicine from the pharmacy, suitable for pregnant women, especially century-old ginseng!"

Zhao Zhen thought of the simple living conditions on the mountain and reminded them, "Buy some more soft materials. Both adults and children will need them. Hurry!"

"Yes, eldest son!"

After Mo Xuan left, Zhao Zhen rode away again and went to the forging camp.

Recently, Zhao Zhen has been studying gunpowder, and he personally monitors the craftsmen making it.

Song Zhirou was very disappointed when she found out that Zhao Zhen was not coming back again in the evening.

She threw the cup to the ground, "Damn it!"

Chuncai didn't dare to hide. She felt that her cousin's temper was getting weirder and weirder. "Aunt, the eldest master is busy now. This is a task assigned to him by the Marquis. Although the Hu people outside the city have withdrawn, they may come back at any time."

Song Zhirou rolled her eyes at Chuncai, "You know all of this, don't I know it yet? Do I need you to teach me?"

Chuncai immediately apologized, "Aunt, that's not what I meant."

Song Zhirou snorted, "It's best to be like this. By the way, have you checked everything clearly? Do you have any clues about Qin Wan's current hiding place?"

Chuncai shook her head, "Aunt, I really don't know, the people around the eldest master are very tight-lipped."

Song Zhirou's eyes rolled, "Go find Xiao Anzi and trick him with some words."

Chuncai was in a dilemma. "Aunt, Xiao Anzi is very smart. He won't tell me for no reason."

Song Zhirou glanced up and down at Chuncai, "Then why don't you think of a way? You look pretty good."

Chuncai’s face turned pale.
