But in the capital, the family surnamed Zhou is an official in the court...... Chu Nanyue couldn't help but think, and there were a few objects of conjecture in her heart.

Household Department, Officials Department, Ministry of Industry...... Or, today's Patriotic Mansion.

"Yuan Qi, what are you afraid of?" Chu Nanyue asked.

is so jealous and so nostalgic, Chu Nanyue can see that Zhou Yuanqi is actually eager to know about the situation at home.

And Zhou Yuanqi seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Chu Nanyue: "General, if you are a subordinate...... Is it the son of Wei Guogong? ”

"The Zhou family of the Weiguo Mansion?" Chu Nanyue exclaimed.

She knew that Zhou Yuanqi's family was either rich or expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so prominent. This Wei Guogong is actually a rare duke with a different surname in Tanglin. Everyone knows that there is a lot of difference between the prince and the marquis, and the Duke of Wei Guo is nearly fifty years old, but he has already gained the prestige of many people in the court.

Seeing Chu Nanyue's reaction, Zhou Yuanqi smiled bitterly and said, "The general also thinks that the Zhou family is famous, right?" But the general really doesn't have to look down on me, I'm just the most inconspicuous concubine. Everything about the Zhou family has nothing to do with me. ”

Although Chu Nanyue was raised by Mrs. Chu when she was a child, she was also born to Mrs. Chu, so she naturally knew that her concubine had a different taste.

She looked at Zhou Yuanqi so sluggish, and said with a warm sigh of relief: "But now I don't want to see any concubines, women can still control their own fate, and you can be a man, and you can make a name for yourself and win glory for yourself." ”

In fact, Chu Nanyue didn't think that Zhou Yuanqi would suddenly leave home just because of a concubine, and chose not to return to Zhou's house, but to wander outside.

Although Chu Nanyue doesn't have much contact with the Zhou family, according to the way the Zhou family behaves outside, he shouldn't belittle anyone because of his concubine.

Seeing that Zhou Yuanqi really shook his head, he said: "The general doesn't know, if his subordinates can still save a life in the Zhou family, why come out?" ”

Who doesn't know that the family is the best way to rise. Many families do not value their concubines, because no matter how long they can be slaughtered as officials in the court, they can add prestige and status to the family.

Chu Nanyue looked at him, probably finally unwilling to hide it from himself, and it didn't take long for him to listen to Zhou Yuanqi open his mouth and tell the story of the year.

"My father is outside, and he is indeed a rare capable minister. But in the house, it is easy to be deceived. Six years ago, my mother was pregnant, and the mother-in-law who was in charge of the family took advantage of my father's absence, and teamed up with thieves to secretly kill my mother......" Zhou Yuanqi looked with hatred and pain.

"Mother is dead, one corpse and two lives!" Zhou Yuanqi said, "But that ruthless woman doesn't want to let me go, and also wants to poison me to death, if it weren't for the loyal old slave of the Zhou family who secretly sent me out of the house, I would have died at her hands." ”

Chu Nanyue was terrified when she heard this, she never imagined that in the Weiguo Mansion six years ago, such a fair and upright situation could happen and kill a pair of poor mothers and sons.

Although he couldn't bear to ask more, he already had some judgment in his heart. Zhou Yuanqi's mother probably had a place in the eyes of Wei Guogong because she gave birth to her son Zhou Yuanqi.

Now that she is constantly pampered and pregnant with a child, she is naturally regarded as a thorn in the side of the Duchess of Weiguo.

Chu Nanyue has always known that the so-called human life is not worth mentioning in the eyes of some people, as long as it hinders their own interests, they can take risks just to kill your life.

Facing Zhou Yuanqi, who had known him for six years, Chu Nanyue showed sympathy.

"Yuan Qi, but you never talked about it in the barracks, and you never mentioned it after my class returned to the court." Chu Nanyue said.

"General, my subordinates don't know what happened back then, and what they did later. At that time, my subordinates were just trying to escape for their lives, and they were incognito in the barracks, for fear that someone who knew me would be able to recognize me. Now, if the general hadn't insisted on asking, his subordinates wouldn't have mentioned half a point. Zhou Yuanqi replied.

The tone was desperate, as if I had experienced too much disappointment.

Chu Nanyue no longer asked about the specific matter, but asked Zhou Yuanqi as if chatting: "......What is your relationship with Wei Guogong?"

"I still regard him as a father, but I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize him in this life." Zhou Yuanqi didn't have any expectations, "The old slave told me that after I escaped, he told his woman that I had been killed. Now, my father probably thinks I'm dead. ”

Chu Nanyue was silent, according to her understanding, Weiguo Gong has three sons, and Zhou Yuanqi should be the second son who is rumored to have died early, and he is still a concubine.

The other two sisters-in-law are all children of the Duchess of Weiguo, and they have gradually gained their own position in the court in the past two years.

And for the Weiguo Mansion, the death of a concubine may really not be nothing.

"Would you like to go back and have a look?" Chu Nanyue asked suddenly. "If you pay more attention, no one will recognize you."

has been away from home for six years, in fact, the past few years have been a teenager, and his appearance has changed the fastest. What's more, the barracks are too hard, and there are many baptisms of wind and frost.

In terms of appearance, Zhou Yuanqi's appearance six years ago is probably very different from today's appearance.

Zhou Yuanqi seemed to be touched, and his eyes were slightly moist: "General......"

He hated the so-called mother-in-law, but he missed his father.

As a father, Wei Guogong is quite dutiful, but he doesn't really value his concubine very much, and treats him like any other child.

"You don't have to be afraid of anything." Chu Nanyue said with relief, "Although I am not sure in my heart for a while, I also know that this matter is difficult to handle and cannot be spread out easily." But luckily, they didn't expect you to be alive, and they won't doubt you. ”

Ever since Chu Nanyue heard what happened to Zhou Yuanqi just now, he had the idea of seeking justice for Zhou Yuanqi.

But this kind of thing is so complicated, and it involves a conspiracy many years ago, she can't do anything rashly, it's better to go and find out the movements in the Weiguo Mansion first.

According to Chu Nanyue's current identity, when she visits Duke Wei, Duke Wei will also give her this face.

What's more, Wei Guogong has always admired her, and she is also a person who can see clearly in the court.

"Okay, everything is up to the general." Zhou Yuanqi made up his mind.

As long as Chu Nanyue is here, he won't be anything. I believe that he is just a deputy general standing next to Chu Nanyue, and he probably won't attract his father's attention at all.

Despite this, when Chu Nanyue was about to leave for the Weiguo Mansion, Zhou Yuanqi still dressed up in disguise for a while, and deliberately changed his face again.

Chu Nanyue saw him so cautious and knew that he was afraid, but the excessive reaction made her not laugh, but felt uncomfortable.

When he successfully entered the Weiguo Mansion, Chu Nanyue saw Zhou Yuanqi's legs trembling, and hoped that one day he could get justice for Zhou Yuanqi, so he became more and more intense.

When he entered the Patriotic Mansion, someone led everyone to the hall.
