Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother

Chapter 23 Worthy of being a woman of the Chu family

"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, who will know?"

Faced with Xie Chaochao's inducements, Xiao Dizi really couldn't resist.

He scratched his head.

"Please spare me."

"This matter involves a lot of things. You said the emperor wants to kill you, right? It would be weird if he doesn't want to kill you. Maybe he even wants to kill your mother."

"Forget it. The old man won't let me tell you, so I really can't tell you."

He muttered a few words, turned around and walked back.

Xie Chaochao stood up and stared at his back thoughtfully.

……

General's Mansion.

Xie Chaochao returned and heard angry voices coming from the house.

"What does Su Moqing mean? Why haven't you left yet after the banquet?"

"The people in Bianbei are in dire straits. They have nothing they want. How long do we have to stay in the capital?"

This is Chu Heng's voice.

General Chu spoke, his tone was particularly strong.

"Nonsense, wait a minute, I'll go into the palace to ask."

The door was pushed open and General Chu came out. Seeing Xie Chaochao shaking her head and leaving, she stepped in. Chu Heng was sitting on a stool with his back to her, obviously very angry.

She asked, and Chu Heng turned around and saw her, and his anger subsided by half.

He personally poured her a glass of water and said in a relaxed tone, "No, you don't have to worry."

Xie Chaochao took a sip, his expression solemn, "Do you remember what you said? We prosper together and suffer together. We are husband and wife. Is there anything I can't know?"

These words choked Chu Heng.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chaochao had such a good memory. He smiled bitterly and told her everything, including the bad things Su Moqing had done.

When Xie Chaochao learned about this, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

In his previous life, even without Su Moqing, Chu Heng still couldn’t escape their clutches in Bianbei.

In this life, Chu Heng still couldn't escape.

"Can't we go by ourselves?" Xie Chaochao asked.

"No." Chu Heng hesitated. "The emperor specially sent Su Moqing to follow, so why shouldn't I wait for him?"

"No, everyone knows that the people of Bianbei are in a state of turmoil. Su Moqing is still hesitating here, proving that he doesn't regard them as human beings at all. If we go there in advance, we will gain their favor. These people will become our best backup in fighting against the emperor."

These words really touched Chu Heng's heart.

Soon, I realized something was wrong.

He looked up at her and whispered, "What do you mean? Do you want to fight against the emperor?"

"Yeah." Xie Chaochao remained calm and collected.

Now, Xie Chaochao is certain that the emperor wants to kill them.

A desperate rabbit will bite; a desperate dog will jump over the wall. This is an eternal truth. Since he doesn't want to treat them well, they will rebel.

Chu Heng looked at Xie Chaochao deeply, and unknowingly, he found himself overlapping with her on their wedding day. At that time, she was cautious and resolute, saving herself from the water and fire.

Now, he is so bold that he even dares to confront the emperor.

Mother is right, none of the people in the Chu family are cowards.

Including Xie Chaochao.

Chu Heng reached out, held her hand, and spoke earnestly.

"These things are men's business and have nothing to do with women. You also said that walls have ears. Aren't you afraid of being overheard by outsiders?"

"Don't be afraid." Xie Chaochao chuckled, "I have you."

In an instant, Chu Heng felt as if his heart was hit hard. The eyes he looked at her became deeper and deeper, and the hand he was holding gradually tightened. Just as he was about to speak, someone walked in from outside the door.

He was so scared that he quickly let go of his hand.

Mrs. Chu turned around and apologized sincerely, "Sorry, I will knock on the door next time."

Soon she turned around, with a smile on her face and a knowing light in her eyes, looking full of meaning, "When will you give me a grandchild? My hands are itching, others have already had three or four, but I don't have any. Let's try hard, okay?"

He reached out and held their hands together again.

Xie Chaochao was indifferent. After what she experienced in her last life, it was difficult for her to feel any emotions anymore. Chu Heng's earlobes turned red, and his heart beat like a drum as he felt the soft little hand under his palm.

I really want to hold your hand like this forever and ever.

Madam Chu held their hands and said, "Your father has gone to the palace to see the emperor. I have discussed with your father and want you two to go first."

"It's the same as what Madam thinks." Chu Heng said, "Chao Chao thinks so too."

Madam Chu was stunned, and looked at Xie Chaochao with more surprise, even surprise, "Really?"

Xie Chaozhao nodded.

Mrs. Xie clasped her hands together, and finally muttered something. Upon careful listening, it was clear that she was thanking God for giving them a good wife. She kept praising her, as if she wanted to praise her to the sky.

Xie Chaozhao shook his head helplessly.

About one stick of incense.

General Chu came back from outside.

He was exhausted and handed the cloak in his hand to his servant.

Sitting on the stool, he raised his head to drink water, angrily wiped the water stains from his mouth, and said, "Guess what the emperor said to me?"

Chu Heng and Mrs. Chu sat there curiously, looking at him. General Chu was so angry that he was almost disgusted to death.

"The Emperor said that Su Moqing is busy taking a concubine."

"It may take some time, let's go later."

"Take a concubine?" Madam Chu was surprised. "Didn't he just marry Xie Yue'er?"

"Even if they were living a life of debauchery, they had only been married for less than ten days, how could they..."

"That's right." General Chu was helpless. "They said that Xie Yue'er hasn't gotten pregnant for so long, and she's afraid that she won't be able to serve Su Moqing well, so Su Moqing's mother, the Imperial Concubine, asked him to take a concubine again."

How big of an insult is this?

After getting married, she was labeled as infertile.

It's embarrassing to go out.

No one in the family felt any regret, and they even wanted to thank her. If she hadn't wanted to marry someone else, Xie Chaochao wouldn't have married into the family.

General Chu took a deep look at Chu Heng and patted him on the shoulder. "This matter depends on you. Go ahead."

"Yes."

……

Overnight, Chu Heng organized hundreds of carriages.

The supplies above are waiting and can only reach the place where they can play a role.

Xie Chaochao was wrapped in a blanket, lying in the carriage, and fell asleep peacefully. Outside, Chu Heng had tidied everything, told the coachman to go forward, got into the carriage, and looked at his wife who was sleeping soundly on the side, with a faint smile on his face.

He reached out and covered himself with the blanket.

Xie Chaochao woke up with a start, turned his head to look at him, and rubbed his eyes.

"Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Chu Heng slept on one side.

This trip was quiet, no one knew about it.

It takes about half a month to get to Bianbei.

There was enough food on the way, so we stopped frequently.

Xie Chaochao simply took a sip of water and looked up into the distance.

"How much longer?"

Chu Heng took out the map and pointed his finger.

"It will probably take more than ten days."

……

One month.

Finally arrived at the dry land with cracked soil, on the north side.

Xie Chaochao got off the carriage and could feel the rhythm of the wind brushing against his face, which was extremely painful.

Not far away, a few people were walking over.

He was skinny, with dark skin, and asked about the situation in a trembling voice.

Someone next to him gave a brief report.

The man was so moved that he burst into tears and grabbed Chu Heng's hand and shook it up and down.

“It’s finally here…it’s finally here!”
