Hearing Zhang Yuan's mother's cry, Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Shuangzi frowned at the same time. They didn't know what happened, but from Zhang Yuan's mother's cry, they had a bad feeling. Could something happen to Zhang Yuan?
Thinking of this, the two of them rushed into the house with desperate strides, and saw Zhang Yuan's mother sitting by the bed, wiping tears while talking to Zhang Yuan who was lying on the bed.
When Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Shuangzi saw this, they ran over quickly and asked carefully,
"Auntie, what's wrong with Brother Yuan?"
The aunt looked up. When she saw Xiao Shuangzi and Xiao Ningzi, she waved to them with tears streaming down her face. Then she pulled them to the outhouse and choked in a low voice:
"Please persuade him quickly. He has been lying there all day without eating, drinking or sleeping. He just stares at the top of the bed. What should we do?"
Little Twins frowned and asked in confusion:
"What's going on? Why is Brother Yuan acting like this suddenly?"
The aunt let out a long sigh, feeling like a deflated balloon, and explained feebly:
"It's not entirely his fault. This morning, when he saw Xiaoyun going out in a hurry, he quietly followed him out. The person who came was Xiaoyun's father. After he heard the conversation between their father and daughter, he... just like that ”
The aunt's words made Xiao Shuangzi and Xiao Ningzi more and more confused.
After they looked at each other in surprise, they continued to ask:
"What on earth did he hear? Brother Yuan is not a petty person. How could he get so angry because of someone else's words?"
The aunt let out a long sigh again, her deep-set eyes filled with tears, she shook her head and muttered,
"What a sin. How can I talk about this? My old woman can't say it. If anyone finds out, I'm afraid both mother and son will be taken out and beheaded."
Seeing that the aunt's words were so serious, Xiao Shuangzi glanced at Xiao Ningzi and became even more confused about this matter.
What happened? What did Xiaoyun say to her father? Why is Zhang Yuan so angry?
Before the aunt could finish her words, she had already walked out while shaking her head and sighing.
Seeing that the aunt could no longer find out why, Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Shuangzi walked towards the back room together.
When they came to the bed, Zhang Yuan suddenly sat up. He stared at the two of them with straight eyes, clenched his fists, and said hatefully:
"Go back and report to the princess. I will go to Shuntian Mansion to plead guilty and ask her to tell the prince that I can no longer serve him. I am sorry for him."
After saying this, he was about to stand up. Xiao Ningzi pulled him in confusion and asked doubtfully:
"Brother Yuan, what's going on? What happened? Tell us. No matter what happens, we will find a solution together."
The little twins also nodded anxiously,
"Yes, we brothers have been confused since we came in. We still haven't figured out what happened. What crime did you commit? Why did you go to Shuntian Mansion? Why did Xiaoyun kneel outside? "
"That's right, even if you make a mistake, you are not under the control of Shuntian Mansion. You are the deputy general in the army. No matter what wrong you do, you should be punished by the prince or General Liu. What are you doing in Shuntian Mansion?"
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Shuangzi and Xiao Ningzi were so anxious that they stamped their feet on the spot. Zhang Yuan suddenly sat on the bed dejectedly, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.
This scene made the little twins so angry that they directly asked in a hateful voice:
"Are you a man? Among us, you are the oldest and the most steady-minded. Why have you become so cowardly now? Is there anything you can't say?"
Xiao Ningzi was so angry that she punched him on the shoulder and said with an angry voice:
"No matter what happens to you, your brothers will be here to accompany you. The prince's matter has not been resolved yet. If something happens to you again, you will kill your brothers."
Seeing these two life-and-death brothers in such a hurry, Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped crying, lowered his head, and said angrily through gritted teeth:
"Is that woman still at the door?"
"Which woman? Xiaoyun?"
"Yes, I finally know the real reason why we have been married for many years but don't even have a child."
Because of this?
Xiao Shuangzi and Xiao Ningzi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"You're so angry because you don't have a child? You're making too much of a fuss. Go back to the princess and get some medicine. Why worry about her not giving you a baby?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head vigorously,
"That's not it. She doesn't have children, not because she can't have children, but because she doesn't want to have children, because sooner or later she has to leave here and go back to her country of Chu..."
These words left Xiao Shuangzi and Xiao Ningzi stunned.
How did Xiaoyun get involved with Chu State?
While the two of them were stunned, Zhang Yuan continued:
"Isn't it surprising? I didn't expect that the woman I married and loved in my family like a treasure turned out to be a spy of the enemy country. She deceived me for so many years, and I didn't even know it. Do you think I am a perfect person? What a fool? Am I a sinner?"
This problem really made Xiao Shuangzi and Xiao Ningzi not sure what to do.
Nowadays, the people and affairs of the Chu State are the most sensitive topic in Daning State. Although the war between the two countries has temporarily stopped, the emperor punished Leng Yu for escaping the Chu people privately, and yesterday Putting aside the words, let Shuntian Mansion conduct a thorough investigation to see if there are any remaining Chu people in the capital. If there are any, they must be eradicated without leaving any further trouble.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the emperor's decree was issued, Zhang Yuan discovered that his wife was actually from Chu. How could he accept this?
Seeing Zhang Yuan's expression of pain, Xiao Shuangzi and Xiao Ningzi instantly felt helpless.
They wanted to persuade him, but found that there was no way to do so.
After Xiao Ningzi winked at Xiao Shuangzi, the two of them came to one side, and Xiao Ningzi whispered:
"What should we do now? This matter seems to be no small matter. Should we go back and report it to the princess?"
Little Shuangzi thought for a while and shook his head vigorously.
"The princess has been very anxious recently. If we let her know about this matter, she will be even more anxious. Let's calm down for now and wait until the prince's matter is resolved."
"But what should Zhang Yuan do? One is sitting here, the other is crying in the yard, and there is another kneeling outside. We can't just sit idly by and watch."
"this……"
Little Twins scratched his head and frowned in embarrassment:
"I don't know what to do. If I don't tell the princess about this, we won't be able to solve it. If I tell the princess, I'm afraid she will get angry. Oh! It's really difficult to handle!"
Xiao Ningzi held her chin in one hand and thought for a while, then said quietly:
"No matter what, we can't let others know about this. Now I'm going to get Xiaoyun back. Please advise Brother Yuan..."
Little Shuangzi nodded, "That's right. She always kneels at the door and can easily arouse suspicion. You go ahead and I'll go in and see Brother Yuan."
After saying this, the two people were about to split up. Zhang Yuan appeared in front of them with red eyes in the room and yelled:
"No, we can't let that woman in, tell her to get out, as far away as possible..."
