If the situation had not allowed for delay, Wei Yao and the others would not have chosen to come to Zheng Quchi when she was still injured, trouble her, and bother her.
Before they came, they went to the military medical den to find Dr. Liao. It was Dr. Liao who diagnosed and treated my wife's injuries. He naturally knew about my wife's condition.
He said that the lady was still young and her muscles and bones were much stronger than the average person. The arrow injury this time was not harmful to her, but she had lost too much blood and needed to be replenished.
When it comes to replenishing the body, Dr. Liao claimed that he was far less knowledgeable than Mei Ruoling, so they went to find Aunt Mei and begged her to prescribe a few doses of blood-tonifying medicated food for Madam.
In the past few days, the Chinese medicine decoction cooked by Brother Sang that Madam drank three times a day was the prescription prescribed by Aunt Mei, and the effect was remarkable.
Today they came to pick up the lady. Instead of riding horses as usual, they found a comfortable carriage to pick her up.
They laid thick soft mats inside the carriage and drove at a constant speed, just because they were worried about her injuries.
In the car, Zheng Quchi specially brought a thin blanket to cover her legs. This soft gauze dress looked good, but it was a little too thin. In addition, it had been cold in spring for the past two days, and she had not taken good care of her body, so More afraid of the cold than the average person.
"Is there... any news about him?" she asked softly.
There were varying degrees of slump and silence on the faces of the three of them. Those who should have gone crazy had gone crazy, and the anxiety that should have been overwhelming was suppressed by the numerous urgent matters that were imminent.
Nowadays, they can only accept reality and do everything they can do, instead of being defeated, collapsed, and giving up everything.
They also shoulder various burdens, including those from their families, those from Ye country, those from enemy countries, and those from comrades in the army.
Wei Yao took a breath, suppressed the tightness and blockage in his chest, and wanted to smile to relieve the heavy atmosphere, but his fox eyes curved with a bitter and tired arc.
"We sent people to salvage the river. Of course, Julu and Hongshengguo had already sent a large number of fishing boats to salvage the river before us, but there is no news so far. However, Fu Rong will temporarily stay at Huxiao Pass to monitor Condition."
Hearing the news about Fu Rong and knowing that he was safe and sound, Zheng Quchi felt somewhat relieved.
Runtu said: "If there is no news, it is good news."
Yeah?
Zheng Quchi looked confused. She recalled that at that time, the sea of fire was on the river and the smoke was lingering. Although everything was like seeing flowers in the mist, she did indeed see Yu Wensheng wearing the mask of the gods. The weapon was locked in action, and then multiple arrows fell into the river...
If a person sinks into the river with such serious injuries, is there really any hope of survival? .z.
Wang Zebang saw his wife's lost look, but asked: "Madam, if the general is really gone, what are your plans?"
Zheng Quchi came back to his senses, clutched the blanket on his skirt, and said softly: "I am not a famous lady, let alone a powerful and wise lady. Although I am not stupid, what I am best at is just fiddling. Use some wood to engage in production, invention and research..."
"So, I may not be able to take his place and go to the battlefield with you to defend the country, nor can I be able to advise you and serve as a military advisor in the war... I have thought that all I can do is to work hard to defend the general's palace on his behalf. , and protect you, but other than that, I may not be able to do more."
When they heard her say this, they had a complicated expression on their faces for a moment. After looking at each other, the three of them immediately surrendered and knelt down in front of her in the carriage.
"Madam, that's enough. As the general's wife, you can give the whole army spiritual strength and stabilize their morale. Moreover, you can stand up and bear everything bravely when the general is in trouble or encounters major troubles. You It’s already very impressive.” Wei Yao said seriously.
Wang Zebang said guiltily and apologetically: "Madam, I, Wang Zebang, used to look down on others and often felt that you were not as good as those of noble birth, but I was wrong, very wrong."
Zheng Quchi looked at him.
No wonder when he looked at her before, he always thought her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes. Deep down in his heart, he never appreciated her background.
He succeeded
He continued to confess: "These days, all of us seem to be living in dire straits, with all kinds of urgent matters coming one after another. Anyone who knows how to weigh the pros and cons will find ways to escape and stay away from these troubles, but Madam, you are kind and righteous. Take responsibility, step forward and take on all these important responsibilities without even thinking about it.”
Well, she sounds pretty nice.
After listening to it, Zheng Quchi understood the meaning of his words, and then asked in surprise: "Can I still shirk it?"
The three of them were stunned: "..."
She sighed: "Yes, is it too late to regret it now?"
The three people immediately opened their eyes and said in a panic: "Madam, you must not go back on your word!"
——
Returning to the main army tent in the camp, I saw several people from the Yuwen family waiting inside the tent.
The curtain was opened, and Zheng Quchi was escorted by Wei Yao, Wang Zebang and Runtu. As soon as she appeared, the people in the tent immediately turned their heads to look.
This was the first time they saw Yu Wensheng's bride.
The first impression I had was that I didn't expect such a dignified-looking woman to exist in this remote rural area.
As the saying goes, Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothes.
Zheng Quchi's appearance successfully established a firm foothold in the Yuwen family's first impression.
She maintained a gentle and dignified temperament and did not come forward to speak to them immediately. Of course, the Yuwen family members had an arrogance that they did not know where to come from and did not take the initiative to speak.
She walked past the few people standing in the center of the tent and walked to the general's seat in the main tent. After adjusting her clothes, she slowly sat down.
She ordered the guards below: "Go and pour some tea for your two cousins."
"yes."
"No need."
Yu Wenhao and Yu Wenze refused directly and coldly.
They saw the bride sitting directly on the main seat as soon as she came up. Is she planning to give them a blow?
These two people have good looks, and with their colorful clothes and accessories, they have a sense of dependence and accent from a big family.
Before they came, they had also inquired about Zheng Quchi's details. They naturally looked down upon a girl who was born in a peasant family and became a phoenix after marrying Yu Wensheng. .
Zheng Quchi said calmly: "I serve tea because I uphold the way of hospitality. As for whether you drink it or not, that is your business."
Her flirtatious retort made Yu Wenhao and Yu Wenze's faces darken.
"Daughter-in-law Sheng, are you too disrespectful?"
"You have no respect for your elders? Are those two elders too lawless?" She spoke eloquently and answered questions quickly.
Yu Wenhao narrowed his eyes and said unkindly: "What are you talking about?"
Zheng Quchi smiled slightly, his face was calm and gentle, but his eyes always had a tough attitude: "Although, in our small family, I am the junior and the two of us are the elders, but in front of the national law, I am the general's wife, and you are just two of them. "Common people, if you insist on telling me the rules, how about you tell the rules of your clan and I tell the rules of mine?"
Yu Wenze and Yu Wenhao were both speechless for a moment after hearing her hidden words.
They looked at each other and began to feel a little worried. This bride didn't seem as easy to deal with as they had imagined.
"That's all, I don't care about these trivial matters so much with you. You should know why we came here, right?" Yu Wenze asked arrogantly with his hands behind his back.
Zheng Quchi looked confused and said, "I don't know."
Yu Wenze and Yu Wenhao: "..." Why is this Sheng's daughter-in-law so unconventional?
"I really don't know. I think my husband's whereabouts are still unknown. Could it be that someone from the clan sent you here to express condolences? If so, my niece-in-law will really be grateful."
After she finished speaking, she pretended to stand up and bowed to them.
This is what Zheng Quchi learned from Wang Zebang on the road. Is there any universal solution?
Ceremonial posture.
Seeing that she had killed them all as soon as she spoke out, Yu Wenhao and Yu Wenze were secretly annoyed.
But now, Yu Wenhao no longer pays attention to the dignity and respectability of a peasant woman with no background and no strength like her.
"You don't have to hide it anymore. The Julu Kingdom has made Sheng'er's affairs known to the public a long time ago. We know that Sheng'er is in serious danger, and we also know that you won't hand over the things that belong to our Yuwen family easily, but we can't help it. is you."
Zheng Quchi sat back down again slowly, and she asked curiously: "So, you are here to ask for things. I wonder what things in my general's house belong to you?"
Yu Wenze said: "First of all, it is the ancestral home of the Yuwen family. You must return it immediately."
"anything else?"
"As well as everything in Sheng'er's General's Mansion, since you have no heirs, we have discussed with the clan leader that we will adopt a son of a cousin from the same clan to inherit the clan after his death and continue the clan forever."
adopt?
In their eyes, Yu Wensheng's burial and even posthumous sacrifices all required an adopted child. Of course, the child's right was to inherit the ancestral lineage and property of his father's family. In their minds, there was no such thing as The existence and value of Zheng Quchi.
Zheng Quchi said: "So, the General's Mansion needs a child from the Yuwen family to host festivals, inherit property, and shoulder the burden of carrying the family lineage of his father's family?"
"nature."
Oh, just have kids.
"What if he has a posthumous child?"
Zheng Quchi suddenly dropped a bombshell.
"What?!" Yu Wenze and Yu Wenhao looked shocked. They suddenly looked at her belly with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
Could it be that she is pregnant?
Such a coincidence?
"This is impossible!" Yu Wenhao said flatly.
Zheng Quchi neither admitted nor denied, but asked in confusion: "Why is it impossible? My husband and I have been married for more than half a year, and we are deeply in love. If we are pregnant, is it human nature?"
"Furthermore, if my husband does not know whether he is alive or dead for one day, I will take care of everything about him... Therefore, you go back and tell your old clan leader that if you want to covet the general's palace, just come and ask for it. I solemnly Qu Chi is waiting for his arrival in Fu County."
Seeing that she was so arrogant, Yu Wenze was so angry that he spoke angrily: "Zheng Quchi, who do you think you are? If Sheng'er hadn't insisted on recording your name in the family tree, he would have recognized you as a Bride, you don’t even have a marriage contract, so you can’t be considered a general’s wife at all…”
what did he say?
Has her name been recorded by Yu Wensheng in their Yuwen family's genealogy?
Zheng Quchi never thought that there were such reasons. No wonder the Yuwen family clearly looked down on her, but they still went to the trouble of sending two clan members to "notify" her.
Because King Ye had been holding on to their marriage contract, Yu Wensheng simply made it a predetermined marriage and firmly engraved her name on the family monument of their Yuwen family, binding her life and death with his Yu Wensheng's name. Son.
Zheng Quchi's expression was in vain: "Originally, I wanted to respect the two elders, but you insulted the wife of a general of a country in public. I don't know how to deal with this crime?"
Wang Zebang and the others, who had been acting as background, were worried at first that the general's wife would be bullied by the Yuwen family, but they never thought that in the end, it would be the Yuwen clan members who were being pressed so hard that their backs could not straighten. .
Previously, the general's wife had made them speechless, angry and unreasonable, but they were very pleased to see her.
But at this moment, these two people from the Yuwen family dared to play tricks on Madam in front of them. Naturally, they couldn't just sit back and watch, but had to show their support to support Madam.
"presumptuous!"
Wang Zebang immediately shouted coldly.
Wei Yao pulled out his sword with a sound, and a group of fierce-looking soldiers rushed into the main army's tent, shouting in unison: "Who dares to be disrespectful to my wife?"
Yu Wenze and Yu Wenhao had never seen such a posture before, and their scalps immediately went numb.
I shivered with fear.
They tried to save their face and said angrily: "You, do you know who we are?"
At this time, Zheng Quchi said: "I think the two cousins still haven't figured out who is standing in front of you? I am the wife of Yu Wensheng, and I am also the wife of a general of a country. It is not something that you, the Yuwen family, can manipulate at will. A weak little woman being manipulated."
She raised her eyebrows: "Understood?"
At this moment, they finally understood that he, Yu Wensheng, was a wolf cub, and the bride he married was not a good person. She was really not a member of the same family, and she did not belong to the same family.
As of now, they can't reason with each other and can't fight hard.
Before coming here, killing them would not have counted. How could such a peasant girl with no family background and no outstanding qualities make Yu Wensheng fall in love with her and marry her, and how could she have all his cronies and soldiers support her? Not satisfied?
The old patriarch made a mistake in his calculations, and they also came on the wrong trip.
"Okay, okay, you said you have a posthumous child, then we will go back and report it to the old clan leader, and let the old clan leader bring the doctor from our clan to make a diagnosis! If you lie, I am not afraid of you being unreasonable, even if you end up suing Ye King, we are also legal and reasonable, and you have to recognize it!"
Yu Wenze and Yu Wenhao returned without success this time and were very angry.
After the Yuwen family members left, all of them stared blankly at Zheng Quchi's belly.
"What are you looking at?" Zheng Quchi lowered his eyes, glanced at his stomach, and said innocently: "Did I say I had it? I just asked them casually. They misunderstood themselves, so what does it have to do with me? "There's none?
The disappointment in the eyes of the three people was clearly visible.
