The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 138 Straight Talk

It was a rare occasion when he felt guilty. For the sake of Ji Rang's innocence and because he thought it was not a big deal, he explained it directly to Mrs. Zhang.

Just now, Ji Rang leaned close to the concubine's ear, just to test her and told her his guess.

"Since you feel so guilty, you must still remember that you brought Chuyou to your room to be with Master Zhang."

This is what Ji Rang said to his concubine just now.

When Mrs. Zhang heard what Gu Junqing said, she was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected such a situation. After she reacted, her expression was as if a paint palette had been overturned, colorful and wonderful.

After all, as the mistress of the house, it was ok for her husband to go to the concubine's room, but he also took the poor young lady he brought from outside along. He was really... shameless!

Looking at Madam Zhang's expression, Gu Junqing could guess that Madam Zhang was not in a good mood, so he didn't say anything more and focused all his attention on Ji Rang who was still interrogating his concubine.

When the concubine heard Ji Rang's words, she almost lost her composure, but she managed to keep it together. She smiled what she thought was a casual smile, but in fact, in Ji Rang and Gu Junqing's eyes, she looked stiff as hell. She said in an embarrassed tone:

"What is Lord Ji saying? I, no, don't know what this sentence means."

Seeing that she denied it, Ji Rang was not in a hurry. He stood up, turned around, and sat back next to Gu Junqing.

The words he spoke were still somewhat careless, and his eyes were rarely distracted. However, the meaning of his words stabbed into the concubine's heart like a knife:

"You naturally don't know what I mean. How can someone pretending to be asleep be woken up easily? Look at your face. You are almost showing your guilty conscience that it was me who did it, and yet you dare to quibble."

These words were really blunt. Even in the mansion, the concubine often fought with the mistress of the Zhang mansion, Madam Zhang, and other women, but the way they spoke to each other was always veiled, mocking without showing it, or telling the key to others and letting them guess it themselves.

Accustomed to the soft-spoken but sharp communication style, the concubine obviously had not yet reacted to Ji Rang's sudden blunt remarks. After she reacted, her face became even paler. It was obvious that she knew she could not hide it any longer, so she simply half-sat on the ground in a self-abandoned manner, with an empty look in her eyes.

Then, as if he had figured something out, he had originally refused to admit it, but at this moment he suddenly relaxed for no one knew why.

The concubine saw the shock on Mrs. Zhang's face, and for some reason, she suddenly laughed out loud, completely losing her arrogant and proud look of the past few days. At that time, Zhang Qing was still alive and doted on the concubine. She admitted everything and the details of what happened that year.

That year, Zhang Qing took Chu You, who had just been kicked out of the Chu Mansion, back to his own house. He then asked Madam Zhang to look after Chu You and arranged a guest room for her to stay in. At night, as usual, Zhang Qing did not stay in Madam Zhang's yard but went to the concubine's yard.

Coincidentally, the guest room back then was just a few steps away from the concubine's courtyard, so it made it convenient for them to do what they did next.

Chu You was drugged and sent to her own yard by the concubine. Of course, all this was also ordered by Lord Zhang, and as a concubine, she could only agree.

The concubine knew what would happen next and was tactful. She left the room quickly while Zhang Qing was not paying attention. After all, she was a concubine, but she still couldn't accept two people serving one person.

But when she was about to walk away, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the inner room. The concubine thought that Chu You had woken up and Zhang Qing must be touching her, so she just paused, but still left.

The next morning, Lord Zhang sent Chu You away, but he did not come out to see her off in person. Instead, he asked Madam Zhang to do it.

Even the concubine didn't know what happened later.

However, when Mrs. Zhang found out that Zhang Qing had actually attacked Chu You that night, her expression became even more embarrassed.

Ji Rang and Gu Junqing were too busy to pay attention to them.

After all, this information has been of no use at all so far.

So Ji Rang asked again: "Did Miss Chu You leave the capital alone, or was she escorted out of the city by the guards from your Zhang Mansion?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this question, she answered honestly, "Of course, it was our Zhang Mansion guards who escorted him out of the city. The master told me personally."

Gu Junqing thought to himself, it is indeed so.

Ji Rang nodded and asked, "Where are the guards from back then?"

At this point, Madam Zhang showed some hesitation, but she did not dare to hide it, so she said:

"Another one broke his leg while trying to protect Chuyou on the road, and then he disappeared with Chuyou. The other one did come back, but the master soon found an excuse to beat him to death."

So these two people are gone. What we need to find now is the guard who broke his leg and took Chu You away, otherwise the clue will be lost.

No one knew how the guard with the broken leg led Chu You, but he actually brought him directly into Yihong Tower.

Ji Rang sighed in annoyance, and took one last look at the scenery around Zhang's mansion. He had been so anxious to interrogate him before that he had not taken a close look at Zhang's mansion. Now that he had finally divided his attention, he looked at the white cloth hanging all over the yard and the large word "葬" not far in front. It was obvious that it was set up for Zhang Qing's death.

He couldn't help but feel even more annoyed. He glanced at the people in Zhang's mansion. They all looked lifeless and were simply unbearable to look at.

These people don't have anything to ask.

Ji Rang thought this in his mind, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Gu Junqing, wanting to see what kind of expression Gu Junqing had at the moment. However, seeing that her face was calm and even leisurely, Ji Rang instantly felt something was not right.

So he couldn't help asking her:

"General Gu, looking at your expression, could it be that you know where the guard with a broken leg who took Chu You away is?"

Of course, this was just a casual question from Ji Rang. He thought Gu Junqing would not answer and was thinking of giving up.

Unexpectedly, Gu Junqing behind him suddenly answered him:

"Although I don't know, it's just a vague guess. I don't know if Lord Ji is willing to listen to it."

Ji Rang stopped and listened to what Gu Junqing said. He couldn't help but feel curious. Even if it was just a guess, it would be more convenient than looking for someone without any reason now.

"General Gu, just say it directly."
