Chapter 055: Chu Shisan (7)

"Among those eight people, there is Chu Shi?"

"Yes! He also returned, but he was covered in wounds. When I saw the way he looked, I didn't even think he would survive. But he was stunned and survived. ”

"Where's the general?"

Ying Gu's eyes flickered: "The general was also seriously injured, and even almost lost an arm in order to bring Chu Shi out of the enemy's camp. ”

"Then does he know about you and Chu Shi's affairs?"

"Maybe you know, maybe you don't. I didn't ask, and I didn't dare ask. Ying Gu sighed: "I think, he shouldn't know." His temperament is very similar to my father's, and he can hardly fit anything else in his mind except the art of war and strategy. Because of this, my father will pay special attention to him, and even when he was not a general, he had already married me to him. ”

"I remember my uncle said that after that incident, the general became a parent."

Aunt Ying nodded: "That's right! On the one hand, it was because of the general's great achievements, and on the other hand, it was also because my father knew about me and Chu Shi, and this time, he came back alive. My father probably wanted to cut through the mess with a quick knife, so he arranged for my general's marriage as soon as possible. ”

"Would you like to?"

"Of course I don't want to. I went to Chu Shi and hoped that he would take me away before I married the general, as agreed before. But he repented. He said that when he was in the enemy's camp, it was the general who desperately saved him. He can't do that kind of ungrateful thing. He advised me to live well with the general. ”

"Unexpectedly, the uncle is still a person who has a straight outlook and knows how to repay his kindness."

Aunt Ying didn't know what the so-called three views in Xing Ruyi's mouth were, but she understood what Zhi'en Tu Bao was.

"Zhi'en Tu Bao, he should indeed know Grace Tu Bao, but at that time, I didn't understand and didn't want to understand. All I know is that I am not the tool he uses to repay his kindness. I only know that I don't want to marry a general, and I don't want to live with my father for the rest of my life like my mother. Madame may not understand what it was like to live. In my father's eyes and heart, it seems that there is only his soldiers, his battlefield. He barely said anything to my mother, let alone anything like that.

I'm annoyed, I don't want to live like that. So, I don't want to marry a general, I just want to marry a man I like. But Chu Shi rejected me. So, I blamed my grievances and even anger on the general. I even thought that if the general died, if there was no general in this world, I would not be bound by my own marriage contract, and I would be able to marry Chu Shi. ”

"What did you do?"

"Poison, I poisoned the general on my wedding night, when I drank a glass of wine."

"Murder of your own husband?"

"Yes!" Ying Gu nodded ugly: "I know, it's not right for me to do that." But at that time, my mind was in a mess, I only knew that when the general died, I had the opportunity to be with Chu Shi. So, I can't care about that much. ”

"And then?"

"The general, after he was poisoned, caught me. I was so scared that I thought he was going to kill me. As a result, he didn't, he just asked me, why did you do that? ”

"You told him the truth?"

"Nope! I wanted to say it, but I couldn't say anything. I just told him that I didn't want to marry him, but my dad didn't agree, and I couldn't do it.

Then he pushed me away and he told me to go. I was so frightened by the way he looked that I stood in my new house and looked at him. Then, Chu Shi came. I don't know how he knew, but he rushed in. When he saw the general's appearance, he directly gave me a slap in the face, and I was blinded by him. ”

"Judging by your description, the general does not seem to be a difficult person to talk to. Perhaps, you tell him the truth about you and Chu Shi, and he will help you ask the marshal to marry and take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract between you. ”

"I don't dare." Ying Gu spit out three words: "Although I have a marriage contract with him, I have never really been together." He was tall and fierce-looking, and I never thought he would be such a good talker. I was in awe of him, even afraid of him, and it felt like I was facing my father. ”

"The general was killed by you like this?"

"Nope! No! Ying Gu shook her head: "Now that I think about it, if I had poisoned him at that time, then everything that happened later would not have happened." ”

"The general is not dead?"

"Nope. I don't know what Chu Shi did, but the general actually came back alive the next morning. I was so frightened that I thought I had seen his ghost. He didn't mention what happened on the wedding night, and he didn't even force me to do what a wife should do, as he always did. ”

"That's fine."

"yes. Actually, that's pretty good. But at the time, I didn't think so. All I know is that he's alive. As long as he lives, I can only be his general's wife, and I will still be the kind in name only.

I've been thinking about how to get rid of him, but the general doesn't seem to care. Soon after he got married, he went about his business, and what happened that night seemed to be known to no one but the three of us. After a long period of struggle, even apprehension, I finally waited for another opportunity. ”

"What?"

"Peace talks."

"Is it the peace talks with the enemy country that the uncle said?"

"I don't know what he told you, but I think the peace talks I spoke of were a little different from what he said."

"Uncle said that the general fell into the trap of the enemy country during the peace talks and was poisoned by the other party."

"Nope! The general has only been poisoned once, and that is, on the wedding night. The reason why he said that, I think, was also to help me cover up the more excessive things I did later. A lot of things in his mind are no longer real things, but he's still thinking about me. Perhaps, in his heart, he never wants me to do something like that, and he never wants me to be such a scheming, even very bad woman. ”

"Aunt Ying, what did you do?"

"I pretended to be Chu Shi and wrote a secret letter to the imperial court in his name. A general was convicted of fornicating with an enemy country. ”

"Are you planning to frame the general for a trumped-up crime?"

Rao is no matter how calm Xing Ruyi is, he can't sit still at this moment. She never thought that this seemingly ordinary old man in front of her would do such a thing when she was young. To frame a collaborator is to put that poor general to death.

"I think I must have been crazy at the time, so I did those things recklessly. I made up the story of the general leading 800 dead soldiers, saying that he was only pretending to burn the enemy's grain and grass, but in fact, it was to give the enemy's head. Eight hundred soldiers, only eight people came back with the general himself, this kind of thing, only needs to be rendered by people with intentions, and it is easy to reverse black and white.

Moreover, whether it is in the court or in the army, there is always a struggle for fame and fortune. The general is deeply loved by my father, and this alone has made many people unaccustomed to it. So, one stone hit a thousand waves, and in the end, the situation evolved into something that I couldn't control at all. ”

"The general collaborates with the enemy, even if it is a trumped-up crime, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death. At that time, Aunt Ying, did you ever think that you were the general's wife. If he is sentenced to death, how can you be left alone? ”

"I didn't really think about it that much. On the contrary, it is the general who thinks about me everywhere. When the imperial envoy arrived at the barracks, he wrote me a letter of resignation in front of my father. I finally got my wish. Although I am the marshal's daughter, I am the general's cousin's wife, and the general is accused of collaborating with the enemy, and I even happily think that in this world, except for Chu Shi, no one should be willing to marry me. ”

"But I think, at that time, even Uncle Chu Shi won't dare to marry you, right?"

"Nope! He married me, but not willingly. Aunt Ying turned her face: "He married me because the general gave him an order." Before being beheaded, the general demanded that he be good to me.

Afterwards, after a long time, Chu Shi told me that in fact, as early as the wedding night, the night of the general's poisoning, he couldn't help but tell the general all the things, and even asked the general to kill him. But instead of doing that, the general pretended that nothing had happened and came back.

Chu Shi also told me that he didn't heal the general, and even if I didn't do the things that followed, the general wouldn't live long. It's just that the general knows my father's character too well, so he has been looking for an opportunity to give me back my freedom. ”

"Aunt Ying, you're really too impulsive."

"I know I've done something wrong, but if they had told me earlier, I wouldn't have made up those things to frame the general."

"Could it be that now, you still think you are the most innocent one?" Xing Ruyi looked at Aunt Ying and was a little angry.

"I never felt like I was innocent, I did something wrong, that's a fact. I just feel like if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made so many mistakes. ”

"You're still shirking."

Ying Gu glanced at Xing Ruyi and did not reply, but after a little silence, she continued her narrative: "The general was sentenced to beheading. He was originally alone, and even if the court wanted to pursue it, there was no one to chase him. After the general's death, Chu Shi quietly left the barracks and returned here with the general's bones. I was not reconciled, so I followed.

I know that Chu Shi resents me, resents me for killing the general. Although he obeyed the general's words and married me, in his heart, I was just a poisonous woman who killed the general. But I'm not reconciled, I don't want the marriage I finally got to be ruined like this.

I am also the daughter of the Marshal's Mansion, the wife of the former general, but for his sake, I would rather be an ordinary village woman in this rural place. I even sacrificed my face to ...... with him while he was drunk But I never thought that I was just a husband and wife with him for one night, and I would make him mad alive.

After waking up drunk, he saw the scene and rushed to the general's grave like crazy. After that, it was as if he had suddenly forgotten a lot of things. He claimed to be surnamed Zhang and was just a retinue of the general. He didn't remember the general's name, he didn't even remember that I was his wife, and even our daughter, he didn't want to recognize him. ”

"Yingzi is the uncle's daughter?"

"Yes, Yingzi is his daughter, it's me and his daughter."
