Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Zhou stood up suddenly: "Where is this evil creature?"

"The general went straight to the Young Madam's courtyard, probably to look for her."

"The general looks like he hasn't slept for days and nights. He's dusty and exhausted. He doesn't look well..."

Zhou cursed, "Serves you right."

"Go and have a look."

"Jiaojiao, listen to my explanation."

When Zhou heard Lu Ziqian apologizing and explaining outside the door, she stopped and did not disturb him.

Su Yujiao sat on the edge of the bed and teased the child, without even raising her eyelids, and ignored him.

Lu Ziqian sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to hold her hand, but she was holding the child, so he had to give up.

"The child in Chen Yunniang's belly is not mine."

"I was forced to marry her."

Su Yujiao was patting and coaxing the child when Lu Ziqian suddenly pulled her hand and turned over her palm for her to see.

"Do you still remember this wound?"

Su Yujiao glanced at her palm and said nothing.

How could she not remember? That night, a wound appeared inexplicably on her palm. She was bandaging it when he suddenly broke in.

He clearly saw it, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he asked her to take care of Chen Yunniang and protect the fetus.

He also left her in Chen Yunniang's room and tortured her...

How could she forget such unforgettable pain? !

Lu Ziqian continued, "I know you must be resentful of me. I clearly saw the wound on your hand, but I didn't ask why or how it happened. I even forced you to protect Chen Yunniang's pregnancy."

"That's because I know why."

Su Yujiao paused patting the child and looked up at him.

Although she didn't say anything, she was asking him the reason with her eyes.

"Chen Yunniang has put a poison on you. The mother poison is in her body, and the child poison is in you."

"If the mother Gu is injured or dies, the offspring will also be injured or die."

"That night she used a hairpin to pierce her own hand to force me to agree to you going to protect her pregnancy, otherwise she would hurt herself to hurt you."

"What?" Su Yujiao felt that this was a bit far-fetched.

Lu Ziqian continued to explain: "The Mother-Child Gu was given to her by Nan Sheng as a token of gratitude when she saved Prince Nan."

"When she learned that I was going to expose her as the Saint, she put a curse on you and threatened me with your life."

"That's why, after much difficulty inviting Nan Sheng over, I didn't expose her."

"If she returns to Southern Border pretending to be a saint, she will surely die. But if she dies, you won't live either."

"How could I not care about your life!"

"She forced me to marry a concubine. After all, her identity as a Saint was a fake. The only thing that can prove she is a Saint is the Dragon Snake Jade, the most precious treasure in Southern Xinjiang."

“She doesn’t have the Dragon Snake Jade, and her identity will be exposed sooner or later, so she forced me to marry her. First, she threatened me with your life, and second, the Lu family also has the strength to protect her.”

"As for the child in her belly, it is definitely not mine."

"I can swear on the lives of hundreds of people in the Lu family that if I touch her even once, I will curse the entire Lu family to be executed and die a miserable death!!"

"Jiaojiao, it was indeed my fault for leaving you behind that day."

"I'm afraid if you don't stay, she'll continue to torment you through self-harm."

"That's why I let you stay."

"But I want to stay with you. First, she wouldn't dare bully you in front of me. Second, I'll be right in front of you the whole time so you know I have no feelings for her, and that way you won't have any wild thoughts."

"It was only later that the prince came to see me, and because of the urgency of the matter, I was unable to stay with you."

"I thought at the time that even if I left, she would only verbally attack you and would not really hurt you."

"Because the mother and child Gu are connected, if she hurts you, she will also be hurt in return."

"I really didn't expect that when the baby Gu was hurt, the mother Gu would be unaffected, or the impact would be negligible."

"I was really afraid that if I took you away, she would torment you endlessly."

Su Yujiao listened to his explanation quietly, from indifference at first to shock later and finally to indifference now.

Lu Ziqian said more today than he had ever said in his life, but the other party didn't even give him a response.

He looked at her expression cautiously, feeling uneasy.

I don’t know if these explanations can help her eliminate the resentment in her heart and accept him again.

"Jiaojiao, why don't you speak?"

"Jiaojiao, can you forgive me again?"

"I promise this won't last too long. I won't let her be so arrogant for too long."

"Just give me two years to recuperate and make arrangements, and I will destroy the Southern Frontier Kingdom!"

"Now that she has lost the support of the Southern Frontier Nation, I will put her under house arrest so that she can no longer threaten you."

"Then our lives will be able to return to normal."

She finally spoke: "Why didn't you say it then?"

"In your mind, am I such an unreasonable person who can't take responsibility?"

"Am I not worthy enough to face difficulties with you and solve them together?"

"Am I just a canary in your captivity?"

"Why do you have to wait until I'm heartbroken, in pain, and in agony before you tell me?"

Lu Ziqian looked guilty. He didn't dare tell her that he made her endure so much just for the sake of his own face.

Seeing that he was having trouble speaking, Su Yujiao snorted coldly: "If you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you."

"Chen Yunniang has forced you to the point of being helpless, making you feel embarrassed, right?"

"You are an invincible general. Your reputation is naturally more important than my life."

"Don't quibble. You might not have thought that I could let go of Chen Yunniang's torture of me. After all, it wasn't you who was wrong, but Chen Yunniang who was the real evildoer."

"I can still clearly distinguish right from wrong!"

"Therefore, I will not be provoked by her to vent my anger on you."

"But I can't help but care about the reason why you hid from me that you wanted to marry Chen Yunniang."

"You knew I would be angry and sad, but you didn't care about my feelings. You continued to do as you pleased, even using your child to pressure me into obeying you..."

"You only care about your own face and feelings. Everything is more important than me. I am always ranked last!"

"So, you don't love me at all. You only love yourself. You only control and possess me."

Seeing that he was speechless, Su Yujiao raised her eyes and stared at his handsome face. His sincere eyes made it hard to associate him with a scumbag.

In fact, looking at it from the perspective of this era, he is not a scumbag at all!

He is a man of this era, with three wives and four concubines, regards his husband as his heaven, and is the head of the family. This is the right given to him by the times.

Men of this era were taught from childhood that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, while washing clothes, cooking, serving tea, mending and taking care of children were all women's duties.

Men doing this is an insult to men!

Women here can be bought and sold as commodities, and female slaves here are not worth as much as a pig.

It is a joke to ask these high-ranking men to respect such a humble social status.
