General, cut off your sleeves!

Old man Li smiled wryly: "I miscalculated the general's friendship, general Gao Yi..."

Zou Jinchu disliked compliments the most, and only liked straightforward conversations. If it weren't for the old man's inseparable connection with Mo Wanqing, he would not have listened to his ramblings.

Fortunately, although old man Li talked a little too much and was a little too polite, his explanation was unambiguous. Zou Jinchu wanted to testify for Mo Wanqing immediately after learning about it, but it was getting late and he couldn't start the meeting even if he went.

Old man Li was very happy to see him so readily agreeing to testify to Mo Wanqing, but to be on the safe side, he repeatedly told him to speak clearly and not be vague, otherwise it would only leave loopholes for others. As for Mo Wanqing's night The reason for infiltrating the Zhangfu, they also checked the most persuasive rhetoric, and waited for the effect of cooperation with Mo Wanqing the next day.

They straightened things out back and forth, and after making sure that there were no omissions, old man Li left.

At that time, Zou Jinchu suddenly asked a question: "Why don't you testify? Isn't it more beneficial for you to testify than me?"

Unexpectedly, old man Li would not say: "The last thing I can do is... because I am close to him, and the testimony will not have much credibility."

Zou Jinchu was even more puzzled. Only the testimony of relatives or husband and wife would be considered invalid. How long did old man Li get along with Mo Wanqing?

But there are reasons for others not to go. Even if he can't say it, it doesn't mean that old man Li doesn't care about Mo Wanqing, otherwise he wouldn't come late at night...

Zou Jinchu frowned and returned to the backyard when his wife Song had already prepared herbal tea for her husband to drink.

Song is a typical boudoir girl, the kind who stays at home, but because she was well-bred since she was a child, she has a noble demeanor in her gestures and gestures, and occasionally has a spoiled temper, but overall she is a very qualified wife.

Saying "hard work", took a sip of the herbal tea in her hand, the weather is so hot now, a cup of herbal tea can't relieve all the summer heat, but it can take away a lot.

Mrs. Song fanned her husband with a round fan, and the unhurried wind was as gentle as her temperament.Seeing that the husband's brows seemed to be worried, Song asked tentatively, "What's the matter, Mr. Lang?"

Zou Jinchu shook his head and just said "nothing".

For this wife who gave birth to his only legitimate son, he has always respected more than admired her. As a husband, his wife is the responsibility he must treat well, but it is not what he wants.

In fact, apart from her, there are two or three aunts in the mansion, but they are all dutiful women, and the housework is handled by the wife alone. This trust is still given to her, but that's all.

On the fifteenth day of every month, I must go to Mrs. Song’s room to rest. The number of times I go to my aunt’s place is much less than that here. At least Mrs. Song can see him every now and then. If my aunt is not lucky, I won’t see him for half a year. It's all normal.

It's no wonder that his backyard is peaceful, otherwise, for any man who cares about him, this backyard will be so peaceful.

As usual, the general sat with Mrs. Song for a while and then went back to his study to work. He talked to old man Li earlier. Many of his official affairs have not been dealt with, so he probably won't sleep tonight.

When he said goodbye and left, Song hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, until Zou Jinchu's figure disappeared on the other side of the arch, and then went back to the house stroking the corners of his eyes.

Under the dim light, her beautiful face was stained with poignancy, she stared blankly at the candlelight in a daze, none of the maidservants dared to approach her when she saw that his wife was in a bad mood.

At this time, a well-dressed servant woman raised the curtain and walked in. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help saying, "Hey, what's wrong with you, miss? Don't tell me the general won't rest here?"

The maid's surname is Hua, she is the wet nurse of the Song family, and she married the Song family to the general's mansion, and she also taught the way of handling the affairs here, otherwise, how can a young lady who just left the cabinet take care of this big family properly? Woolen cloth?

Mammy Hua is actually a half-mother to the Song family. Her mother died early, and the stepmother whom her father married later treated her well, but she was a little less close to her. It was Mammy Hua who raised her as a child. Bringing it to the big one, of course the love is different.

At least she had to ask Madam Hua to make up her mind on many things, and this time too.

In fact, today is her birthday, because Zou Jinchu doesn't like to be busy. In the past, he would come to accompany her to have a simple birthday banquet, but today he only drank a cup of herbal tea and hurriedly said something, and didn't even notice the makeup that he could wear .

What else does a woman long for most when she is already married to a man, isn't it the love and care of her husband?

In the past, Zou Jinchu might not have loved her, but at least he still respected her and cared about her. He would spend a special day every year on her birthday to accompany her, but today he didn't remember it at all...

Moreover, it was not the first time that the husband acted abnormally. She had a premonition that someone was tugging at his heart.

After talking about my worries with Nanny Hua alone, Nanny Hua's expression also became serious. It is the duty of a nanny like them to help the young lady with housework, and it is still very important for the young lady to deal with Yingzang's enemies.

She had the same intuition as the young lady, the difference was that she would not feel sorry for herself like the young lady, and she wanted to do more to find out this person as soon as possible.

"Miss, don't worry, Madam Hua is still involved in this matter, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

Mrs. Song nodded. She is not a simple little girl. In fact, she is very possessive. The seemingly gentle woman followed by the "fierce" nun secretly cleaned up those aunts and made them very obedient. The husband is also very obedient. The cage was very tight, and this time she unknowingly took advantage of the loopholes for outsiders, which made her hate it very much.

But after all, she is still the most "gentle and charitable" wife. There are many things that servants can do, but she can't.

From the moment she married Zou Jinchu, she had taken a fancy to this man, but it was obvious that he still didn't like her after all these years. At this moment, she thought, no matter whether she can become the person in his heart, she must become His only wife.

This thought was hidden so deep that even Nanny Hua, who claimed to know her well, didn't know it.

In fact, she was not such a deep-rooted woman in the city. Everything was just for survival. In order to get Zou Jinchu's approval, she pretended to be the most obedient. ?

After she got married, she suddenly changed her temper. Her family said that she finally grew up and became sensible after becoming a married woman. Even Madam Hua thought so. After all, there were indeed many examples of women who grew up overnight after marriage.

No one would know that in order to win the love of her sweetheart, she actually suppressed her temper and turned into another completely opposite character. The long-term acting made her sometimes confused whether she was gentle or the pungent Song Zhi Qin.

But she doesn't care about these, she just wants to keep Zou Jinchu firmly in her hands, and pull out everything that would keep him away one by one...

Mo Wanqing, who was secretly missed by others, was struggling to lead the ball of straw that seemed to have moldy, feeling rare and melancholy.

"Hey, in fact, the firewood room is not bad, at least the firewood is dry, and there are big white steamed buns to eat."

This is also a self-deprecating statement, changing from one cage to another, even Mo Wanqing, who claims to be thick-skinned and can withstand beatings, rarely has a headache.

"I have to do such a complicated reasoning question, and I have to prove my innocence. It's really difficult!"

Mo Wanqing is actually simple-minded, otherwise he would not have been foolishly led by the military for so many years. Maybe he was too lazy to think, or maybe he didn't want to speculate on people's hearts. Anyway, many things he thought were simplified.

But it is such a simple boy who is about to pay the biggest price in his life because of his recklessness.

It seemed that his behavior of circling in the prison disturbed others. A man with a smudged hair and a dirty face opposite him yelled at him unceremoniously: "Go back and sit down! I'm dizzy!"

Mo Wanqing shrugged and sat back to his original seat. It seemed that his "roommate" was not very friendly, and it was normal. Who would expect a handsome person to come out of the prison?If so, then he was probably arrested because he lied to too many people.

The buddy on the opposite side was a little surprised to see Mo Wanqing obediently obeying. As far as he knew, the people locked up in this position were not ordinary petty thefts. Most of them were serious criminals, and most of them would be beheaded sooner or later like himself. .

"Hey, what did you do to get in here?"

It took Mo Wanqing a while, the man was getting impatient before he realized that he was talking to himself.

"Me? I don't know. I probably accidentally turned into someone's yard. Now it happens that there is a dead person there, so I was arrested..."

The hair-covered man on the opposite side laughed loudly, "Then you are a dead ghost?"

Or is it that the little baby is so unlucky to be a scapegoat, is it bad luck or someone deliberately manipulated it?He didn't care about these things, he was dying, and he just listened to other people's affairs for fun.

Mo Wanqing really didn't expect her experience to be so funny?The bearded man was still trembling with laughter, he was just... irritating.

"I don't think there's anything funny about that."

The fair little face that had been beaten was tense, and the words he spoke were like stones in a latrine, smelly and hard.

This once again entertained the bearded man, he was so happy that he wanted to roll on the spot, saying that the boy was interesting.

Mo Wanqing kept sullenly waiting for him to laugh until he couldn't laugh at all before saying, "I think you are more pitiful than me."

It's not a question sentence, but a determined tone. The bearded man looks like he has been here for a long, long time. You can tell by his beard that is about the same length as his hair.

The reason for saying this is because the environment here is really bad, and being able to survive here for so long is indeed a "poor" word.

However, when people say these two words, most people still say in a sympathetic tone that they probably got angry a long time ago, but the bearded man said helplessly: "Well, I admit it, I am the most unlucky and pitiful person."
