Zhuo Jun didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to turn his face away on the spot just because of what he said.
He felt so uncomfortable that his eyes turned red.
Seeing this, Fang Zhijun walked over and said: “You didn’t mean it. Just don’t say bad things about his wife in front of Jinyu in the future.”
Zhuo Jun took a deep breath and wanted to get angry but held back: “I drank too much today and didn’t pay attention to saying the wrong thing. I will pay attention in the future.”
He said again as if worried: “I just don’t know if Jinyu will blame me in the future and stop associating with me.”
Fang Zhijun smiled and comforted: “Jinyu is broad-minded. As long as you don’t mention his wife next time, he shouldn’t care.”
Zhuo Jun forced a smile: “Well, then I’ll take my leave first.”
Fang Zhijun said: “Okay, let’s get together after the palace examination.”
Zhuo Jun nodded and left with the servant.
After Xiao Hanzheng returned to the capital, he went to the mansion of the Marquis of Zhennan and took Shi Qingluo back.
Although he had made excuses before, it was true.
Sitting in the carriage, Shi Qingluo poured a cup of hot water for Xiao Hanzheng: “You smell like alcohol. How much did you drink?”
Xiao Hanzheng took it drank a few sips, and immediately felt warm all over.
He said: “Before, the maid accidentally spilled wine on my clothes, so the smell of alcohol is so strong.”
After saying that, he saw his wife looking at him with a look of watching a show.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “Could it be that the maid did it on purpose, asking you to go to a side room to change clothes, and then a beautiful woman appeared?”
He tapped her forehead with a smile: “What are you thinking?”
“The maid didn’t do it on purpose, she accidentally stepped on a branch and tripped.”
“I didn’t go to change clothes, but went to the side room to wipe my clothes and warmed them with a hand warmer.”
Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow: “Ah, that’s it?”
Xiao Hanzheng laughed: “You even want to watch your husband’s show?”
Shi Qingluo smiled: “Of course.”
“But I believe you will protect your innocence, so watching the play is harmless.”
Her husband was good at martial arts and medicine. He was also smarter and more flexible, so it would be difficult for people to plot against him in the side room.
Xiao Hanzheng squeezed her hand: “Then I would like to thank you for your trust.”
He changed the subject and said: “But today I did have an unexpected gain.”
Shi Qingluo’s eyes lit up, and she looked at him with gossip on her face and asked: “What is it? Did Zhuo Jun confess to you? Or did he show something very wrong with you?”
Xiao Hanzheng was at a loss for words again. If it were any other woman, she would have been jealous and made a scene.
Only his wife would do this.
“How could he confess? You think too much.”
“But he would often sneak a peek at me. At that time, both of our clothes were splashed with wine.”
“In the wing room, Zhuo Jun deliberately sprained his ankle and almost fell into my arms.”
Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow again: “Is he warm as jade and soft?”
Xiao Hanzheng took her hand and kissed her on the lips: “How is it possible? I will only hug you in my life.”
Shi Qingluo curled her lips: “That’s more like it.”
Her husband’s desire to survive was quite high, and of course, he was getting sweeter and sweeter when coaxing people.
“Then he must have fallen in love with you. Is he a homosexual?”
He has a fiancée. If he was a homosexual, it would be a bit too much.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: “He is not, but there is indeed a problem.”
“Zhuo Jun wanted to fall into my arms on purpose, so I took the initiative to help him up and checked his pulse.”
Shi Qingluo asked immediately after hearing this: “Is he infertile, or is he a woman dressed as a man?”
If there was a problem with the pulse, then it must be these two problems.
Xiao Hanzheng found that his wife was still very smart.
He hugged Shi Qingluo and whispered in her ear: “She is a woman dressed as a man.”
Shi Qingluo widened her eyes: “She is a woman?”
“Then how did she pass the imperial examination?”
Xiao Hanzheng told her about the examination of the imperial examination: “So she took advantage of the fact that there was no body search.”
Shi Qingluo was surprised. She thought Zhuo Jun was gay before.
She asked: “Didn’t anyone find out that she was a woman during these days of contact?”
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head: “No one finds out. After all, who would have thought that she was a woman, and she was so bold that she dared to pretend to be a man to participate in the imperial examination.”
“And if you don’t observe, he doesn’t look like a woman from the way he walks, talks, and has a temperament.”
“He also has an Adam’s apple.”
If it weren’t for the reminder from his young wife, he probably wouldn’t have found out that Zhuo Jun was a woman. The other party concealed it too well.
Shi Qingluo nodded: “That’s right. Her voice didn’t sound like a woman’s voice that day.”
“Since you confirmed it by taking her pulse, her Adam’s apple must be fake.”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “Nine out of ten.”
Shi Qingluo asked again: “Did you find out that something was wrong at the beginning?”
Otherwise, her husband wouldn’t have taken the opportunity to check her pulse.
Xiao Hanzheng replied: “Yes, I accidentally smelled the orchid scent you mixed on her. My sister likes it very much, so I feel that men will not like it.”
If it were him, he would not like to use this kind of scent.
“After I found something wrong, I looked at her hands and feet. They were much more delicate than men’s. I had a guess, so I took the opportunity to feel her pulse.”
Shi Qingluo thought for a while and asked: “Did you check before? What is the situation of her family?”
Xiao Hanzheng said: “Her father was once a deputy general, but he died on the battlefield.”
“So she was raised by a widowed mother, and she has a younger brother who is three years younger.”
“Her mother opened an embroidery building in the north city. Although she is not rich, she lives a good life.”
Shi Qingluo asked again: “Are there any top-notch relatives who are looking for trouble and bullying?”
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head: “No, the village where her father lived was massacred by the passing Ge people when the two armies were fighting. ”
“Her father happened to be a soldier at that time, so he escaped.”
“According to the news, her father also rushed into the enemy army to avenge his relatives because he saw the Ge people who massacred the village at that time. He died in battle.”
“The population on her mother’s side is also simple, and the relationship between each other is not bad.”
Shi Qingluo frowned slightly: “If that’s the case, why did her family dress her up as a man?”
Generally, in this case, it was because the father in the family was partial and favored boys over girls, and the mother would deliberately disguise the gender of the child.
Or some extreme people were eyeing their property.
But Zhuo Jun’s grandparents passed away long ago, and there were no extreme relatives who were interested in their property. Her father died in battle several years after she was born.
She found it a bit strange to change her gender in such a hidden way.
Xiao Hanzheng said: “I also feel something is wrong.”
Shi Qingluo asked again: “Have you ever heard of Zhuo Jun? Her grades are so good, if her identity had not been exposed, she should have been on the list of officials.”
She was referring to her husband’s previous life.
