Faced with Jialan's jealousy, eccentricity, and even roars, Zhang Mengqi did not fight back or even get angry.
She still kept a calm mind, smiled slightly, and said,
"Girl, can you tell me about his experience in Loulan City in the past five years? Can you tell me the story of the two of you?"
"You should call me madam. We have been married for more than four years. But you, the girl, are still wearing an unmarried bun. You should still be a young girl. Why are you pestering my husband? You shouldn't tell me first. Tell me your story?"
Jialan pulled up a chair and sat down, putting her wrists on the handles of the chair. She looked very imposing as a headmistress.
The look in Zhang Mengqi's eyes was like looking at a concubine.
The woman from Sichuan opposite has been sitting by the bed. It seems that she can't be driven away. Let's hear who she is.
At this time, the servants brought water in, then put down the water and ran out quickly.
Zhang Mengqi smiled, unbuttoned Zhang Xiaoyu's shirt, picked up a towel, and wiped the blood on him.
"My name is Zhang Mengqi. The story of me and him probably started when I was just born."
Zhang Mengqi narrated the story between her and Zhang Xiaoyu. During this period, Jialan's eyes slowly changed from condescending and arrogant, to frowning confusion, to tears of emotion in her eyes.
"...He said that after returning from this mission to the Western Regions, he and I will get married, which will only take five months.
I said yes, I'll wait for you.
But this wait is five years.
During this period, I asked others to come to Loulan Kingdom to inquire about him. After all the money was defrauded, I found out that here he was already a marquis, prime minister, wife and son, and became a high official of Loulan Kingdom.
I don't want to believe it all, I believe he will definitely come back. I stand at the west gate of Yumen Pass every day, watching and waiting, waiting and waiting.
The soldiers guarding the city all knew me, and they laughed at me as a watchman's stone. "
Speaking of this, Zhang Mengqi laughed at herself.
Jialan sat up straight, the hostility in her eyes no longer disappeared, and she quickly asked,
"Then why did you come here this time?"
"It was the team escorting the monarch of the Luobu Kingdom back to Yumen Pass. I saw it and heard that they were coming to Loulan, so I went to the military camp and begged Nie Shuai and the Marquis to let them take me with them.
No matter dead or alive, no matter how dangerous it is, I still want to see him with my own eyes.
It's a pity that when I saw him, he had already passed out. Until now, I don't know if he still has me in his heart. "
Hearing these words, Jialan burst into tears. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, walked slowly to the bedside, sat next to Zhang Mengqi, put her jade hands gently on her shoulders, and said softly,
"What a poor woman. You worked hard to earn money for him to study, but in the end, he ran away to Loulan Kingdom alone, this damn heartless man!"
"He is not a heartless person, Zhao Shuai told me, he is a hero, a hero who lurked in the enemy country and risked his head to provide intelligence to Dachuan.
He didn’t mean to betray me on purpose. It’s just that his work required confidentiality, so he couldn’t communicate with me. I understand him.
It's not easy for him either. He's had a harder time than me. Come to think of it, as a Sichuan native in Loulan Kingdom, he must have suffered a lot of glares and hardships, walking on thin ice all day long.
In contrast, I only need to live step by step every day, and my life is not in danger. I am much better than him. "
"Oh, girl, you're still trying to excuse him at this time. You don't have enough to eat or wear, and you're bullied all day long. Here he is, a high-ranking official, well-paid, with a lovely wife and beautiful family..."
At this point, Jialan suddenly stopped talking. She realized that this so-called lovely wife and beautiful family, wasn't she herself?
Zhang Mengqi had already wiped away all the blood and stains on Zhang Xiaoyu's front body and said,
"The elixir given by the Marquis is very effective, and the scabs formed so quickly.
Girl, come and turn him over with me, and I'll wipe his back. "
"good."
Jialan and Zhang Mengqi worked together to turn Zhang Xiaoyu over and let him lie down.
Then, Zhang Mengqi wiped his back with a hot towel and asked,
"Girl, I'm done telling my story. Tell me yours too."
After listening to Zhang Mengqi's words, Jialan hesitated for a while and then slowly said,
"I am the daughter of the former chief minister. It was a garden party. I was still young at that time and was quite playful and active, so I sneaked out of the house quietly without any maids to protect me.
As a result, when I was watching the tiger, a group of dudes surrounded me and wanted to tease me. I was so scared that I kept backing away, and accidentally fell into the tiger's yard.
Several tigers came towards me, and I cried out of fear. At this time, he appeared, jumped directly into the tiger park, killed those big tigers with his bare hands, and rescued me.
From that time on, his figure has been firmly imprinted in my heart.
I entrusted my subordinates to find out information about him, and I also found out his identity as a Sichuanese.
Later, he visited my father at my house and met me again. My father then learned that he was my savior and praised him for his loyalty and bravery.
He is indeed talented. Very few people in Loulan are well-educated and even less talented. He is thriving here and is also pursuing me. I did not agree to his marriage proposal very quickly.
Later, he rose through the ranks and finally reached the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
I originally thought that such happy and stable days would continue forever. It was not until Talmu came back with his army, launched a mutiny, captured the monarch's family alive, and became the monarch himself that I felt a sense of crisis.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Xiaoyu actually told me last night that he was a secret agent of the Sichuan Kingdom and would launch a mutiny to cooperate with the Sichuan army outside the city to capture Talmu alive.
He also asked me if I would like to go back to Yumen Pass with him.
I said I was unwilling and wanted to die to serve the country.
He went out, and I hanged myself, but he rescued me. He tied me here and went to do it himself. "
Hearing this, Zhang Mengqi sighed,
"You are also a miserable woman. Your husband has been deceiving you and hiding it from you. He is taking advantage of the power of your family. It's pity that you are still obsessed with it. Alas...
However, I believe he still has you in his heart, otherwise he would not have thought of taking you back to Yumen Pass, but would have killed you directly or let you commit suicide. "
"He is a selfish person. He saved me just so that he would not feel guilty. He didn't care whether I would live in pain for the rest of my life."
Jialan said coldly.
Zhang Mengqi sighed,
"Alas, his choice alone caused tragedy for the three of us."
"well."
Jialan also sighed and looked at Zhang Mengqi with a look of sympathy.
The two women were leaning on each other's shoulders, talking to themselves, like a pair of close friends who have known each other for many years.
Some people died, but not completely...
