He knew that Jiujiu would be angry, but he didn't expect that Jiujiu would go back directly.
Ling Xiao shuddered at the thought of how miserable his life had been while Jiujiu was gone.
Jiujiu snorted. "You couldn't say it then, but you can say it now?"
"I've already investigated the whole story, and I've also sent people to detain all the relevant personnel."
In other words, he had already eliminated all the unsafe factors, so he could naturally tell her.
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Jiujiu didn't continue to make things difficult for Ling Xiao. She asked, "Who drugged you?"
After Jiujiu asked this question, a layer of coldness crept into Ling Xiao's eyes. Ling Xiao said gloomily, "It was Yuan Zhen."
Jiujiu had thought of countless people, but she had never thought of Yuan Zhen.
After all, even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. The child in Yuan Zhen's stomach was already eight months old, and it stretched its arms and legs in her stomach every day. How could Yuan Zhen be so ruthless …
If Jiujiu could think of it, Ling Xiao could naturally think of it as well.
That was why he hated Yuan Zhen even more.
According to the midwife, when the two children were born, they were fair and tender and very good-looking. If they could survive, they would definitely grow up to be the best young men in the world.
But because of Yuan Zhen's ruthlessness, all of this was gone.
Ling Xiao really couldn't understand. Those were Yuan Zhen's biological children. How could she be so ruthless?
Moreover.
Those were his subordinates' only bloodline in this world.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't forgive Yuan Zhen.
Moreover, when he thought of the things he found out, Ling Xiao's heart hardened even more.
Ling Xiao patted Jiujiu's shoulder. Suppressing the sadness in his heart, he said softly, "It's okay now."
Jiujiu hummed in agreement and hugged Ling Xiao tightly.
Because the person who needed comfort now wasn't her, but Ling Xiao.
That night, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Qingyan, who was about to wake Jiujiu up, saw the two people lying in bed hugging each other. She revealed a smile of understanding and turned to report the good news to Steward Li.
Jiujiu and Ling Xiao returned to the General's residence.
As for Yuan Zhen, it was as if there had never been such a person in the General's Residence. No one knew where she went.
As for Ling Xiao, he softly told Jiujiu where Yuan Zhen went.
Yuan Zhen was indeed his subordinate's wife, but she was also a spy sent by the Xiongnu.
Originally, the Xiongnu had sent Yuan Zhen to confuse Ling Xiao and poison him to kill him. In the end, Ling Xiao had decided not to get married. Yuan Zhen had no choice but to choose Ling Xiao's subordinate and slowly approach him.
A man like Ling Xiao was heroic and affectionate. As long as one interacted with him, it was hard not to have a good impression of him.
Yuan Zhen originally wanted to kill Ling Xiao, but in the end, she fell in love with Ling Xiao.
Yuan Zhen fell in love with Ling Xiao, and her current husband became a thorn in her side.
Therefore, Yuan Zhen poisoned her husband to death and then told Ling Xiao that she and her husband had encountered bandits on the way here. Her husband stopped the bandits and told her to leave, but she died just like that.
Sure enough, Ling Xiao pitied her and kept her.
Since she couldn't directly attack Ling Xiao, then she would stay by his side. She had Ling Xiao's subordinate's child in her stomach, and Ling Xiao would definitely visit her often. After a while, the two of them would definitely fall in love with each other.
Actually, Yuan Zhen's thoughts were really good.
If it wasn't for Jiujiu, she really might have succeeded.
But the problem was, there was Jiujiu.
Every time Yuan Zhen went to Ling Xiao, although Ling Xiao would grant her every request, there was nothing extra.
Yuan Zhen wasn't stupid. Ling Xiao was good to her completely because she had his subordinate's child in her stomach.
In other words, Ling Xiao didn't like her. Ling Xiao was good to her only because of the child in her stomach.
And that wasn't all Yuan Zhen wanted.
Seeing that Ling Xiao treated Jiujiu differently, seeing that Ling Xiao married Jiujiu, and seeing that Ling Xiao distanced himself from her because of Jiujiu, Yuan Zhen had no other choice.
She could only think of one way to deal a heavy blow to Jiujiu.
After all, Ling Xiao cared so much about the two children in her stomach.
Yuan Zhen originally didn't want the two children's lives, but she was greedy and wanted to get rid of Jiujiu once and for all. So, the children were gone.
When Ling Xiao looked at Yuan Zhen, the hatred in Yuan Zhen's eyes was true, but it wasn't towards Jiujiu. It was towards herself.
What Yuan Zhen didn't expect was that even so, Ling Xiao still couldn't bear to part with Jiujiu.
Yuan Zhen hated him in her heart, but she could only endure it.
Not to mention that she was living under someone else's roof, even if she was a princess, if Ling Xiao wanted to protect Jiujiu, no one would dare to do anything to Jiujiu.
Later, Ling Xiao quarreled with Jiujiu and Jiujiu left.
Needless to say, Yuan Zhen was so happy.
After that, Ling Xiao threw her a letter, and she was reduced from a guest of the General's residence to a prisoner.
Of course.
But Ling Xiao wouldn't throw Yuan Zhen into a place like prison for framing Jiujiu.
The real reason Yuan Zhen was thrown out was that she was a spy for the Xiongnu and she even plotted to kill him.
Ling Xiao could tolerate Yuan Zhen being a spy for the Xiongnu, but he couldn't tolerate her killing his brother, framing his wife, and even killing his brother's only blood relative in this world.
Jiujiu didn't know what happened to Yuan Zhen after that.
After the New Year, the weather became hotter day by day.
And Jiujiu's temper also became more and more impatient as the weather became hotter.
Today, Jiujiu was throwing a tantrum because the cook's food wasn't to her liking. Qingyan hurriedly said, "Miss, Wan 'er is here."
After Jiujiu married into the General's Mansion, Wan 'er didn't dare to come at first. She was worried that Jiujiu wouldn't want to see her because of her low status.
But when she also received an invitation on Jiujiu's wedding day, she understood that Jiujiu wasn't that kind of person. The two continued to keep in touch.
Jiujiu even introduced someone to Wan 'er some time ago.
The other party was also Ling Xiao's subordinate, Du Hua.
Previously, there was a marriage arrangement, but Du Hua was away for many years on the battlefield. Although there was a letter, the marriage was still far away.
Seeing that the Xiongnu hadn't been eradicated, Du Hua simply had his family cancel the marriage to save the girl's life.
After all, weapons didn't speak on the battlefield. If he was unlucky enough to die that day, then the girl would suffer a great loss.
However, although Du Hua didn't die, a scar was left on his face due to the war. Although it didn't hurt his facial features, his appearance was somewhat damaged. In this place that liked handsome men and beautiful women, either he didn't like the girl, or the girl didn't like him. That was why he didn't get married even though he was almost thirty.
After Jiujiu got to know Du Hua and chatted with him a few times, she felt that he was a good person and introduced Wan 'er to him.
After Wan 'er suffered a great loss at the hands of refined and handsome men like Li Xiucai, Wan' er's sense of beauty changed. She especially hated those who looked refined and refined.
Thus, not only did she not mind the scar on the man's face, she actually thought it was pretty good.
Wan 'er was beautiful to begin with, and because she lived a comfortable life, she exuded a quiet and peaceful aura.
Du Hua was used to fighting and killing on the battlefield, so he couldn't resist someone like Wan 'er.
