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

Chapter 231 Xiao Qing

When Niu Wu came forward with bottles of incense, the resentment in his eyes seemed to pierce Xue Ben.

Xue Ben felt a real headache when he saw this, but he didn't say anything and just kept his eyes on Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows and asked Niu Wu to hand all the incense to the female doctor for inspection.

Niu Wu did as he was told.

The female doctor was still wiping Mrs. Niu's face inside when she was suddenly called a few times by someone outside. So she came out and looked at the pile of incense on the table, looking at the four people present with a puzzled look.

Niu Wu picked out some of what Gu Junqing had said to him and told the female doctor. The female doctor nodded and agreed. However, the process of checking was a bit complicated, so it naturally took a little longer.

So the four of them sat on the chairs, and Niu Wu, who tried his best to remain calm, did not look at Xue Ben, but instead fixed his gaze on Gu Jiyan, who was standing aside and didn't talk much.

Even though Gu Jiyan felt confused by the looks, he just let it go. But he seemed to have thought of something, so he turned his head and looked at Niu Wu, and asked:

"How did you determine that the problem was with the bottle of incense? If you only looked at the symptoms, this is too ridiculous. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Tell me, who made you think of the incense?"

Niu Wu was confused by Gu Jiyan's question, but he still thought about it. He remembered that his wife suddenly fainted a few days ago and he panicked and ordered people to find a doctor, while he had been guarding his wife the whole time.

At that time, Niu Wu had just finished a business deal and fainted after talking to his wife for a few words. How could Niu Wu not be anxious? After finally settling his wife down, Niu Wu left her bedroom. But before he could order someone to find out who did it, Xiao Cui, who was beside Mrs. Niu, suddenly told him that the lady liked the Xue's incense that the master bought a few days ago, and it seemed that she used too much today.

This seemingly unintentional remark of the servant was remembered by Niu Wu, who then sent people to investigate. However, after searching the bedroom for a long time, they found nothing suspicious except the incense.

Incense is indeed novel and convenient, but the risks are too great, and even people have died. These are the words that Xiao Cui, who was beside Mrs. Niu, often whispered in his ear a few days ago. Then, before Niu Wu had time to find out the truth, he took advantage of his preconceived ideas, and coupled with his wife's increasingly thin and uncomfortable face, Niu Wu quickly lost his mind, which led to today's incident.

Niu Wu, who finally regained some sanity, thought carefully about what Xiao Cui had said a few days ago. In fact, it was full of loopholes and could not stand up to any scrutiny. It was a pity that he was too concerned at that time and believed it foolishly.

Niu Wu felt like his head was about to explode. The indifferent gazes of the three people sitting in front of him were like fire, burning Niu Wu dizzy and he wished he could beat himself up for the irrational behavior that caused trouble in Xue's incense shop.

If this incident really had nothing to do with Xue Ben, then wouldn't he have to apologize publicly at Xue's Incense Shop in three days?

At that time, I would lose all my face and dignity, and would probably be laughed at by my colleagues.

But this is just speculation. If he finds out that this matter is really related to Xue's incense shop, he will not let Xue Ben off easily, even if he has the support of General Gu and Prince Gu behind him.

If it really has nothing to do with Xue Ben, then it doesn't matter whether you save face or not. It's your own fault anyway, so just solve it yourself.

"Could it be that there is really something wrong with Xiao Cui?" Niu Wu murmured. He remembered that Xiao Cui was his wife's dowry maid, who was loyal to her master and did things in a thorough manner.

Many people in the mansion trust and like Xiao Cui.

Niu Wu also believed in Xiao Cui before, but the current situation makes it impossible for him to believe it or not.

Could it be that Xiao Cui really discussed something with others or took advantage of his wife?

Niu Wu suddenly couldn't bear to think about how sad his wife would be after she woke up and knew about this.

The three people sitting opposite him had different emotions when they heard his trance-like murmurs.

Xue Ben said: "Why? Can't we touch the most suspicious person so far?"

Judging from his expression, he really seemed reluctant to let them investigate this servant.

Niu Wu came to his senses after hearing this and realized that his tone was not right, so he hurriedly explained: "No, I was just thinking about how to face my wife next."

Xue Ben: “…” He talks about his wife in every sentence. He is really a wife-slave.

"Where is the servant named Xiao Cui now?" Gu Junqing asked.

Speaking of this, Niu Wu looked a little troubled. He seemed to be hesitant to speak, which made Gu Jiyan impatient. He said, "You are so hesitant. Could it be that Xiao Cui can disappear out of thin air?"

"Yes, it disappeared out of thin air." After General Niu Wu said this, he looked at Gu Jiyan who had a stiff expression, pursed his lips and dared not say anything.

"I just said it casually, and you guessed it right?"

Gu Jiyan's eyes were filled with disbelief, and his face was full of disagreement.

Xue Ben frowned, then raised his head to look at Niu Wu and asked, "When did he disappear?"

Niu Wu scratched his head: "I don't know either. I've been busy looking for doctors and medicine recently. It was Xiaoqing who told me that there were fewer people in the mansion."

Xiaoqing is another maid that came with Mrs. Niu as a dowry. Compared to Xiaocui's ability, Xiaoqing is more pragmatic and low-key.

"Did you ever ask Xiaoqing when she found out?"

Niu Wu still shook his head: "No, I didn't ask at the time because I didn't take it to heart. I just said a few perfunctory words and left."

"...Let's call Xiaoqing over now." Gu Junqing suggested.

Niu Wu, who had regained his senses and realized something was wrong, now answered every question and responded to every matter from Gu Junqing and the other two. Naturally, he had no objection to Gu Junqing's proposal. He stood up and went outside to ask someone to find Xiaoqing.

At this time, Xiaoqing should go to the small kitchen to prepare meals for her wife, but she was stopped by the servant next to her master. Xiaoqing didn't know what her master wanted her to do, so she could only follow the servant's steps to the door of her wife's bedroom.

After the bedroom door was opened by the person inside, Xiaoqing saw the face in front of her and was shocked. Why did her master open the door for her personally? Could it be that there was something important or something he wanted her to do?

Xiaoqing, not knowing what was going on, walked into her wife's bedroom in a daze, lowered her head, and did not dare to look up at anything else.
