Chapter 152 Helping Xiao Hanzheng take the blame
Ge Chunru woke up and saw Xiao Yuanshi sitting by the bed.
She stood up hurriedly, but was hugged by Xiao Yuanshi, "The doctor said you had fetal gas before, so be careful."
Ge Chunru was stunned when he heard this, "What? You mean I'm pregnant?"
In order to give Xiao Yuanshi enough reason to demote Kong's wife as a concubine, she could only use the fetus in her belly as a bargaining chip.
But when the child was aborted, her heart ached and she felt even more resentment for Kong.
But she has no regrets. If that incident hadn't happened, her role as Xiao Yuanshi's first wife would have been unfair.
She was naturally surprised to suddenly have another child.
Xiao Yuanshi looked at Ge Chunru's belly with a gentle expression, "Yes, we are going to have a baby."
He was looking forward to this child very much.
Ge Chunru was happy at first, but suddenly his expression changed.
She grabbed Xiao Yuanshi and asked: "General, was I dreaming before? I dreamed that the housekeeper said someone chopped off my brother's leg. This is not true, is it?"
Xiao Yuanshi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell his little wife the truth.
After all, the doctor said that she had been stimulated just now, which caused the pregnancy to be unstable.
But his hesitation was understood by Ge Chunru, who knew him very well.
"Where is my brother? Where is my brother?" She asked anxiously, pulling on Xiao Yuanshi's clothes.
Xiao Yuanshi sighed, "I asked the imperial doctor to bandage his wound, and he fell asleep after drinking the medicine."
He was screaming in pain before, so he asked the imperial doctor to give his brother-in-law a drowsy medicine.
Ge Chunru opened the quilt and said, "I want to see him."
Xiao Yuanshi also knew how much his young wife valued his younger brother, so he helped her stand up and said, "I'll take you to see him."
The two went to Ge Chunyi's yard.
As soon as he entered the room, Ge Chunru smelled the smell of blood.
Seeing her brother lying asleep on the bed with a pale face, she felt so distressed that she burst into tears.
With trembling hands, he opened the quilt and saw that the calf of his brother's left leg was missing, and the cloth wrapped in it was stained red with blood.
"Ah!" She couldn't hold it back and screamed in anger.
Xiao Yuanshi immediately went over and hugged the person, "The imperial doctor said everything will be fine."
Ge Chunru turned her head and looked at him with tears on her face, "Is everything okay? His legs were chopped off. Is it okay?"
"Who did it? Tell me who did it?" She was almost losing her mind.
In the previous dynasty, the Ge family was a wealthy family, but later during the war, they were forced to live in seclusion in the village.
She was born in the village, but she often heard her father talk about the glory of her family.
So my father took the initiative to go to the battlefield, hoping to use his military exploits to climb up the ranks, but unfortunately he died on the battlefield.
Before her father went to the battlefield, he held her hand and asked her to promise to take good care of her brother.
Let your younger brother carry forward the Ge family and rebuild a prosperous family.
The rest of the Ge family died in the war, and now only three siblings are left.
The younger brother is the only male of the Ge family and the only hope of the Ge family.
She also wanted to wait for her brother to return after making great military exploits and slap those in the capital who said he had bad conduct.
But now it's over, it's all over.
With the loss of one leg and the loss of his right hand, it was impossible to take the imperial examination or join the army.
That's why Ge Chunrucai lost his composure and looked crazier than ever before.
Xiao Yuanshi couldn't help but frown slightly, "My people said that after they left the capital, they met a group of merchants on the road."
"Your brother showed contempt for those people. When they were unhappy, they called your brother a pretty boy."
"Then your brother led others and took the initiative to fight with the other party."
"Who knew that someone in a rage would pull out a knife from the bullock cart and chop off your brother's leg?"
"Those people probably didn't expect that their legs would be cut off directly, so they ran away without even asking for the goods."
According to the person he sent to see off his brother-in-law, it was actually Ge Chunyi who started this incident.
If you're on your way, you're on your way. Why do you despise others? You even took the initiative to lead someone into a fight after a quarrel. If someone cuts off your leg, you're asking for it.
He also knew that his brother-in-law had been holding his breath recently because he was expelled from the college and was beaten by Xi Rui.
The brother-in-law probably thought he was a lowly businessman, so he couldn't help but want to take it out on him.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a ruthless person and lost his leg.
What you lose at the same time is your future for the rest of your life.
He finally managed to place people in a position where they could easily achieve military exploits, but it was a pity that his brother-in-law lost his future.
Xiao Yuanshi was also very angry about this matter. All the previous investment in his brother-in-law was in vain.
Ge Chunru grabbed Xiao Yuanshi, "Have those people been caught?"
Xiao Yuanshi's face looked a little ugly, "Let them all run away."
Ge Chunru cried, "Why are the people you sent so useless? They can't even catch anyone."
"It must be intentional. Those people must have been sent by others to harm my brother on purpose."
Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen. She grabbed Xiao Yuanshi with a look of madness, "Did Xi Rui do it? Or Xiao Hanzheng."
"You must avenge my brother!"
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her eccentric and crazy look, and frowned again, "Xi Rui has already disabled your brother's hand, so he shouldn't take action again."
"It's even more impossible for Zheng'er. He is a young scholar. Even if he wants to do such a thing, he doesn't have that much ability."
Ge Chunru looked at Xiao Yuanshi and hissed: "That's what Xi Rui did. Only the Xi family has such strength."
Although she lost her composure, her reason was still there, so she didn't say anything about her plot against Xi Rui.
Therefore, the suspect was directly targeted at Xi Rui.
After all, it is really unlikely that Xiao Hanzheng would have the ability to know when her brother would leave Beijing or where he would pass by, or find someone to do such a thing.
But the Xi family is different.
The most important thing is that she plotted against Xi Rui not long ago. If the Xi family finds out, they will have a reason to do such a thing.
Xiao Yuanshi was not happy that his wife was so rude because of her brother-in-law. In his heart, he should be the most important person in Ge Chunru's heart.
She has always said this before, that she adores and loves herself, and that he is also her life and her most important support.
But when he thought that she was pregnant, he didn't blame her. Instead, he held her in his arms and said, "I will check it out, don't worry."
"You take good care of your health first, don't worry about this, leave it to me." He reassured.
Ge Chunru had calmed down a lot by now. She hugged Xiao Yuanshi and said, "Go and check the Xi family. I think it was Xi Rui who did it."
"There is only one man left in our Ge family, and it is ruined like this. How can I deal with my deceased parents?" She cried again deliberately.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi's previous discomfort disappeared.
"Okay, I'll check it out." He patted her back gently.
In fact, he also felt that this incident might not be an accident. After all, those merchants ran so fast that even his people could not catch up.
It would make sense if the Xi family took action.
Anyway, he was ready to check it out.
That Xi Rui was so narrow-minded that he refused to let go even after his brother-in-law's hand was crippled. This made him very angry.
If it was really the Xi family who did it, we should find an opportunity to settle the score in the future. We can't go directly against the Duke's government for the sake of my brother-in-law.
Xi Rui was drinking and making dirty jokes with his uncle at this time.
