"Didn't your family start ...... since the founding of the country" Cheng Shuiyao said half of his words, and then suddenly reacted, his eyes full of shock.

There have been famous generals of the Xiao family for generations, and they are no different from hereditary generals, and they have always held great power.

So I have so much information to ......

No way!

Cheng Shuiyao was shocked by her thoughts, and looked at Xiao Ji with wide eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Indeed," Xiao Ji nodded, and directly recognized Cheng Shuiyao's words, "When the founding of the country, my ancestors and the emperor at that time were interested in that position, but the founding emperor relied on the fact that he had children at that time and suppressed my ancestors, and the next generations worked hard to earn back the throne." ”

"What about you, do you think that way?" Cheng Shuiyao was a little flustered for no reason, and looked at Xiao Ji with a little more exploration in her eyes.

This was something that had never been mentioned in the original book, and she didn't know anything about it, so she was so shocked when she first found out.

"I don't know," Xiao Ji shook his head, and his answer was a little uncertain, "My father is not ambitious, and he just wants to do a good job in the position of general, so from his generation, he doesn't have such high requirements for Zu Xun." ”

"Then you ......" Cheng Shuiyao's fingers were cold, and she hesitated to speak.

If Xiao Ji is really interested in that throne, then there will be irreconcilable contradictions between him and the emperor, and Xiao Ji's life trajectory cannot be changed by everything she has done before.

"It's too early to say this, after all, the prime minister is the common enemy of me and the emperor," Xiao Ji waved his hand, and then sighed, "In order to appease our ancestors, the founding emperor once gave us a gold medal to avoid death, and this thing can at least protect my life." ”

Cheng Shuiyao's body trembled a little, and when she saw Xiao Ji's meaning, she knew that he actually still had that ambition, and it might be just to not let her think about it for the time being.

All of a sudden, it got tricky.

Cheng Shuiyao was anxious, but there was no show on her face, and she followed Xiao Ji to leave here.

"I'm almost done with my business, why don't you sit here for a while? When it's done, we'll go to the eastern suburbs to play. Xiao Ji took Cheng Shuiyao's hand and spoke quite gently.

"Huh? I still have to go to the banquet set up by a few ladies today, I'm afraid I don't have any free time, let's go back and make an appointment," Cheng Shuiyao had a look of annoyance on her face, and she couldn't find that her expression was pretending if she didn't look carefully.

"Then in a few days," Xiao Ji didn't think much about it, patted her on the shoulder, and asked her to go back by herself.

Cheng Shuiyao nodded, left the house slowly, and after walking a long way, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything she had just seen was beyond her comprehension, and she needed to digest it.

Walking briskly all the way to the house, Cheng Shuiyao withdrew from all the subordinates and wrote and drew at the table alone.

Originally, in order to let Xiao Ji let go of her hatred, she tried her best to clear up all possible accidents, but she didn't expect that Xiao Ji herself had this ambition.

The previous layout had to be overturned and restarted, Cheng Shuiyao furrowed her brows fiercely, feeling a little upset.

Although Xiao Ji shared almost all the news with her, she did not have her own unique source of information, so she was naturally one step slower than others in receiving the news.

One step behind, the result can be a world of difference.

Poked the brush in his hand on the paper irritably, looking at the large lump of ink stains that had blurred, Cheng Shuiyao took a deep breath, pushed away the things in front of him, and lay on the table.

Thinking about a lot of things in her heart, Cheng Shuiyao felt that her head hurt a little, and reached out to rub her temples.

"Madam, it's time to change your clothes," Xiaoyun pushed the door in, looked at Cheng Shuiyao in front of the table, and said cautiously, "Zuo Shilang's wife is still waiting for you to go to the banquet." ”

"Okay," Cheng Shuiyao straightened up, reluctantly put all the troubles in her heart behind, and began to wash and change clothes.

After a short time, she washed up and took the things prepared by the housekeeper to Zuo Shilang's house.

There were only a few cleaning servants at the door, and it seemed that Mrs. Squire was reluctant to come out to greet her in person.

Cheng Shuiyao's heart was cold, but the expression on her face didn't change much, and she walked straight to the door.

Fortunately, the next person is a discerning person, and when he saw Cheng Shuiyao coming, he hurriedly spoke, "It's the general's wife, right?" ”

Cheng Shuiyao bowed her head, and then took out her post, "Mrs. Guifu invited me to your mansion for a banquet, I wonder if I can go in?" ”

"It's natural, please!" The subordinate hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite a few people in.

Cheng Shuiyao walked lightly and followed her all the way to Mrs. Squire's house.

Wen Ya, the maid who was waiting at the door, saw Cheng Shuiyao and hurriedly ran over, "This is the general's wife, right?" My wife is rejoicing, and she is really embarrassed to be slack. ”

Bad joy?

Isn't this morning sickness?

Cheng Shuiyao's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and then he said with a smile, "I haven't heard that Mrs. Wang is happy before, and I didn't bring any children's belongings over today, so I will definitely send someone to make up for it when I go back." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Cheng," Wen Ya didn't want to shirk it, nodded with a light smile, and then went into the room to take a look.

After a while, Wen Ya went and returned, and bent down respectfully, "My wife has already packed up her appearance, Mrs. Cheng, please come in." ”

Cheng Shuiyao nodded, without the slightest delay, and walked directly into the house, and what caught her eye was Mrs. Wang, who was leaning on the soft collapse.

She doesn't apply powder, and her face is a little tired, but she can't hide the tenderness between her eyebrows.

"Mrs. Cheng is well," Mrs. Wang struggled to get up, wanting to salute.

"Mrs. Wang's body is inconvenient, so there is no need to be polite," Cheng Shuiyao waved her hand, seeing that she was already quite old, and it was not easy for her to get up.

"It's true that I was negligent," Mrs. Wang looked apologetic and slowly spoke, "It is clear that a few days ago, my symptoms were not so strong, but I didn't expect that at this time, the harm was serious. ”

"Have you seen it with a doctor?" Cheng Shuiyao smiled slightly and watched Mrs. Wang speak.

"The doctor said that this is normal, because ......" a flash of joy flashed on Mrs. Wang's face, "I am a twin." ”

No wonder this belly is so big.

Cheng Shuiyao instantly understood, and said with a happy face, "Then I really want to congratulate Mrs. Wang." ”

"Where, where," Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed, and turned to look at Cheng Shuiyao, "Mrs. Cheng has ever been pregnant?" ”

This......

Cheng Shuiyao was stunned, looking a little helpless.

She and Xiao Ji have never had a relationship, how can they be pregnant?

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Wang immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly spoke, "Please forgive Mrs. Cheng." ”

"It's okay," Cheng Shuiyao waved his hand, not very concerned about this.

After chatting for a while, it was almost time for dinner.
