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

Chapter 141 Ye Xiuci

"Chu Xuan looks like the previous wife of Changyuan Hou and has almost the same personality. The current wife of Changyuan Hou is jealous, and everyone in the capital knows that she will definitely not tolerate the child born to the original wife."

"Although Chuyou doesn't look like her mother, she is similar to Changyuanhou's mother, that is, her grandmother. Therefore, Chuyou has been favored more than her sister since she was a child, but Chuyou is always attached to her sister Chuxuan."

"But the daughters born to the second wife don't get the attention of their grandmother. The second wife is of course not happy, so she always makes trouble for the Chuyou sisters whenever she has time..."

"But what does all this that Lord Ji said have to do with Chu You's death?"

Gu Junqing couldn't help but ask him. "Of course there is."

Ji Rang shook his head, signaling Gu Junqing not to worry: "The next turning point is coming. Generally, when a girl turns 16 and has passed the Jiji ceremony, she will be engaged to a man of marriageable age..."

Having said that, Ji Rang paused for a moment, and then looked at Gu Junqing with a rather subtle look.

Gu Junqing frowned at being stared at, looking puzzled, and asked him, "Why are you looking at me, Lord?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that the general is now eighteen years old."

After listening to this, Gu Junqing felt that Ji Rang was becoming more and more confused, but he was too lazy to think about it. Gu Junqing just wanted to know what happened next, so he continued to ask.

Ji Rang had no intention of discussing this topic, so he continued the conversation that had not yet been completed:

"…That means she was engaged at the bride's wedding ceremony, but it didn't work out in the end and the couple broke off the engagement." "Broken engagement?"

"Yes, the engagement was cancelled. I don't know where I heard the rumor that Chu Yu had an affair with someone else, so the man didn't want Chu Yu anymore."

Gu Jun's intuition told her that it was the wife of Changyuan Hou who was behind this.

Ji Rang continued:

"Later, Chu Xuan fell in love with a scholar and wanted to marry him. The wife of the Marquis Changyuan agreed, but the Marquis Changyuan was unwilling to do so. After all, it would not be of any use to his career. However, Chu Xuan liked the scholar and the wife of the Marquis Changyuan tried to bring them together. In the end, Chu Xuan and the scholar ended up together, but she was kicked out of the Marquis's mansion."

Gu Junqing knew about these things, but seeing that Ji Rang was talking excitedly, Gu Junqing just let him continue.

only……

Gu Junqing seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask another question:

"Master Ji, do you know the name of that scholar?" "It took me a long time to find out. After all, the whereabouts of that scholar were deliberately hidden. I only remember that his name was Ye Xiu."

Ye Xiu, Ye Xiuci, Chu Xuan, Ye Shan...

No way!

The drooping long eyelashes concealed the surprise in Gu Junqing's eyes.

Ji Rang didn't know what Gu Junqing was thinking, nor did he notice her abnormality, so he just continued:

"After Chu Xuan married Ye Xiu, it was said that they left the capital and went to a place far away from the capital. However, not long after Chu Xuan got married, the wife of Changyuan Hou set her sights on Chu You. However, at that time, Chu You was still favored by her grandmother, so it was difficult to take action. So someone secretly arranged for Chu You to fall for it, and she was deceived and falsely accused of having an affair with a man."

As expected of the wife of Changyuan Hou, after thinking about it, this is the only trick she can use. Gu Junqing was speechless.

"Chuyou was supposed to marry that unknown man, but she ran away from the marriage and reportedly went to live with her sister Chuyu."

"In the following two years, there was indeed no news about Chu You, and the Chu family was too lazy to care about him, thinking that Chu You was dead."

"Then we learned what we knew yesterday."

At this point, Ji Rang finally had time to drink the tea that he had been holding in his hand. He took a sip and saw that after he had told her everything he knew, the woman did not move at all. Ji Rang frowned and looked at her unhappily:

"General Gu, what do you think?"

"Huh? Oh"

It was obvious that he was just being perfunctory. Ji Rang let out a breath and was thinking of saying a few words to Gu Junqing to calm himself down.

Seeing her thoughtful look, Ji Rang closed his open mouth and could not speak. So he asked her in a low voice: "What is General Gu thinking about? Can you tell me?"

"I was thinking, you said a lot, but it seems that you didn't get to the point. Why did Chu You want to kill Zhang Qing? What does it have to do with Chu Yu, etc..."

“…Didn’t I say that?”

"without"

When Ji Rang heard Gu Junqing's brief words, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he couldn't believe that he had been chatting for so long that his throat was a little tired, but in the end he didn't get to the key point and was quite speechless.

He seemed to feel Gu Junqing's speechlessness and ridicule towards him. He snorted and had to tell her the last thing he knew. Of course, this was just a guess:

"…Hatsuyu and her husband died to protect Hatsuyu."

If we follow this line of thought, then protect Chu You and die for Chu You.

If Mu You killed Zhang Qing now for revenge, then the person who killed Chu Yu and Ye Xiuci back then must have been Zhang Qing.

Why did Zhang Qing kill Chu Yu and Ye Xiuci?

Could it be that Chu You had just escaped from Zhang's house, but he was unwilling to run away like that as if he had been slapped in the face by Chu You, so he sent people to hunt down Chu You, but in the end she still escaped.

Then he killed someone by mistake, which led to Chu You's final revenge, and they died together.

However, Gu Junqing still clearly remembered that the wife of Changyuan Hou was also involved in all this.

She always felt like something was missing.

She told Ji Rang about her idea, and Ji Rang seemed to be stumped by this idea. Ye didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Perhaps there is another possibility, that is, Chu You actually knew that the wife of Marquis Changyuan had done it, but for some reason she did not return to the Marquis's mansion to seek revenge, or she simply did not dare to go back for revenge, and could only die together with Zhang Qing, who liked to linger among the flowers..."

As soon as Gu Junqing finished speaking, Ji Rang raised his head, his eyes bright, and continued with Gu Junqing's words:

"I think Chu You was concerned about Chu Mansion because she knew that she would have no chance of revenge after returning to Chu Mansion, so she chose to die together with him."

Never mind, even so, they were just guessing.

Gu Junqing did not continue with Ji Rang's words, but focused her thoughts on Ye Shan. She was rarely free from thoughts. She really did not expect that Ye Shan, whom she raised by her side, was actually a child with half Chu family blood.

In the previous life, the Chu family, like the Shen family, the Yu family, and Prince An, hunted him down and coveted the military token hidden on him. Logically, they were his enemies and foes. But...

Ye Shan is, after all, the descendant of Ye Xiuci. What's more, he is just a child of six or seven years old who knows nothing.
