Ge Chunru woke up and saw Xiao Yuanshi sitting by the bed.
She stood up in a hurry, but was hugged by Xiao Yuanshi: “The doctor said you had fetal bleeding before, so be careful.”
Ge Chunru was stunned when she heard this: “What? You mean I’m pregnant?”
To give Xiao Yuanshi enough reason to demote his wife as a concubine, she could only use the fetus in her belly as a bargaining chip.
But the moment the child was lost, her heart ached, and she felt even more resentment towards Mrs. Kong.
However, she has no regrets. If it hadn’t happened, she wouldn’t be Xiao Yuanshi’s first wife, and that would have been unfair.
She was naturally pleasantly surprised when she suddenly had 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 then her expression suddenly changed.
She grabbed Xiao Yuanshi and asked: “General, was I dreaming before? The housekeeper said that 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 go see him.”
Xiao Yuanshi also knew how much his 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 she 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 tears welled up in her eyes.
With trembling hands, she 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, “Everything will be fine? His legs were chopped off. How can you say it’s okay?”
“Who did it? Tell me who did it?” She was almost losing her mind.
In the previous dynasty, the Ge Family was wealthy, but later the war forced them to live in seclusion in the village.
She was born in the village, but she often heard her father talk about the glory of their family.
So their 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 her younger brother carry forward the Ge Family and rebuild it into a prosperous and prosperous family.
The rest of the Ge family died in the war, and now only three siblings were left.
The younger brother was the only male in 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.
Having lost one leg and a disabled right hand, it was impossible to take the imperial examination or join the army.
That’s why Ge Chunru lost her 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, and when they were unhappy, they called your brother a pretty boy.”
“Then your brother took the initiative to fight with the other party.”
“Who would expect that, in a fit of rage, someone pulled out a knife from the cart and chopped off your brother’s leg?”
“Those people probably didn’t expect that they would cut off his leg directly, so they ran away without even asking for the goods.”
According to the person he sent to see off his brother-in-law, Ge Chunyi was responsible for this incident.
They can just go on their way. Why does he have to despise others? He even took the initiative to send people to start a fight after a quarrel. Then someone chops off his leg. He asked for it.
He also knew that he was expelled from the academy and was beaten by Xi Rui. His brother-in-law has been holding his breath recently.
His brother-in-law probably thought that the other party was just a lowly merchant, so he couldn’t help but want to take it out on him.
Who knew he would meet a ruthless person and lose his leg?
At the same time, his brother-in-law also lost his future for the rest of his life.
He finally managed to place people in a position where it was easy to make 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 his previous investment in his brother-in-law was in vain.
Ge Chunru grabbed Xiao Yuanshi: “Have those people caught those villains?”
Xiao Yuanshi looked a little ugly: “They all run away.”
Ge Chunru cried: “Why are the people you sent so useless? They can’t even catch a single person.”
“It must have been 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 help my brother, you must avenge him!”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her crazy look and frowned again: “Xi Rui has already disabled your brother’s hand, so he wouldn’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 is not that capable.”
Ge Chunru looked at Xiao Yuanshi and hissed: “Then it’s Xi Rui who did. Only the Xi Family has the ability.”
Although she lost her composure, her rationality was still there, so she didn’t say anything about her plot against Xi Rui.
Therefore, the suspect in her mind was Xi Rui.
After all, Xiao Hanzheng couldn’t know when her brother would leave the capital, where he would pass, etc., or to find someone to do such a thing.
The Xi family was different.
The most important thing was that she plotted against Xi Rui not long ago. If the Xi Family finds out about it, 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 his heart, he should be the most important person in Ge Chunru’s heart.
She has always said this before. She adores and loves him. He was 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 yourself first, don’t worry about this, leave it to me.” He reassured.
By this time, Ge Chunru had calmed down a lot. 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, but he was ruined like this. How will I explain this to my deceased parents?” She cried deliberately again.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi’s previous discomfort disappeared.
“Okay, I’ll check it out.” He patted her back gently.
He also felt that this incident might not be an accident. After all, the merchants ran so fast that even his people could not catch up.
It would make sense if the Xi Family took action.
In any case, he was going to check it out.
Xi Rui was so narrow-minded that he still refused to let go even after his brother-in-law’s hand was crippled. This made him very angry.
If it was the Xi Family who did it, he would find an opportunity to settle the score in the future. He can’t directly compete with the Duke Family for the sake of his brother-in-law.
Xi Rui, at this time, was drinking and making dirty jokes with the emperor’s uncle.
At this time, he didn’t know that he was helping Xiao Hanzheng take the blame……
