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

Drought in the north?

According to the timeline of the previous life, this incident should have happened half a year later.

The emperor was specially ordered to let the Chu family deal with it, but who would have thought that they were framed by thieves, resulting in the warehouse having several more stones of resources and tens of thousands of casualties in the north. Many ministers jointly impeached the Chu family as traitors, and this was the fuse.

It must be because Chu Heng did not drink the poisoned wine, which caused the plot to move forward.

"Where is the Major General now?"

Xie Chaochao asked, and the maid replied respectfully, "Investigating the murderer in the Dali Temple, I heard that the assassins at the border not only attacked the general's mansion the day before yesterday, but the emperor was not spared either. Today is the deadline."

It seems that the weather in the capital is about to change.

Xie Chaochao's eyes were heavy and his mood became even more depressed. He waved his hand as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Tell the small kitchen to prepare the cakes. I will go to see the Major General in person."

"Yes."

……

Xie Chaochao did not take the carriage. He led Pei'er along the street. When they passed Yihong Courtyard, he took a closer look, pointed to the alley and said to her, "The hairpin was lost here the other day. Let's go look for it."

The two walked around in the alley for a few times and were driven out by several guards.

Pei'er wanted to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Xie Chaochao and then left.

The Dali Temple was crowded with people, and everyone coming and going looked unhappy.

There have been frequent accidents in the capital in recent days. The matter that the emperor asked Chu Heng to investigate has not been solved yet, causing panic among the people. The emperor specially ordered him to find out the truth today. They have not slept a wink the whole night. Their resentment is deeper than that of ghosts.

The maid Pei'er called someone and said, "Please inform General Xiao Chu that the young lady is here to visit."

When that man saw Xie Chaochao, his face became even more gloomy.

He muttered unhappily, "Wait."

Xie Chaochao grabbed Pei'er, who was a little angry, and shook his head slightly.

After waiting for half an incense stick, the one who came was not Chu Heng, but a capable woman wearing armor and a high ponytail. She led people over in a sonorous and powerful voice, with her eyelids raised and a disdainful expression.

"Miss Xie, please go back. The Major General is not in the Dali Temple."

Miss Xie, not the General's wife.

The unreasonable hostility made Xie Chaochao realize that she now had many enemies.

"Since he's not here, I won't stay long. This is the cake I brought for the Major General. Please give it to him. By the way, I'll remind you that solving the case is important, but your health is also important."

Providing clues is important. Since Chu Heng is not here, I have to find him as quickly as possible. It is obviously irrational to be trapped here.

But the woman did not take it. Instead, she said coldly, "I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order. The general has specifically ordered that we cannot accept anything from outsiders. If they are plotting something bad or offering bribes, it will damage the reputation of the Dali Temple."

"This lady, this wife of General Xiao Chu, can she poison you?"

Pei'er stood up for Xie Chaochao.

The female general's face darkened, and she walked over and stared at Pei'er like a venomous snake, gritting her teeth, "I'm not a lady from the boudoir, I'm General Xiao Chu's right-hand man! Don't insult me."

Fighting on the battlefield, the pressure from the pile of dead bodies was not something Pei'er could withstand. Xie Chaochao pulled her behind him, stared at her with cold eyes, and was defeated even though he was not defeated.

"It is not easy for the young general to accompany my husband to fight on the battlefield. Miss is a polite general term for women. Please don't be offended."

Wu Shaozi saw calmness and no disturbance in Xie Chaochao's eyes. The fact that she could be so lifeless at her age meant that she must have experienced life and death. However, a little bit of unpopularity was not enough to cause such an experience.

She was shocked, yet extremely jealous!

Xie Yue'er, the legitimate daughter of a noble family and praised by everyone in the capital, should have married the general, but she was replaced by an unpopular illegitimate daughter. Isn't this looking down on the young general?

Now she is swaggering around the city, wishing that everyone would laugh at the general and not have a higher status than her! Without her accompanying the general through life and death, she is not worthy at all!

"General Xiao Chu is here."

A call came from the crowd.

Wu Shaozi and Xie Chaochao looked over at the same time.

The majestic Chu Heng pushed the crowd aside and walked towards this side. His eyes were always on Xie Chaochao's face from beginning to end.

"Spring has not yet returned, and the winter wind is still cold, why are you here?"

He held her soft, cold little hand in his large hand, put it under his mouth and blew gently to warm her.

Xie Chaochao remained calm and composed. After experiencing all the grudges and hatreds in her previous life, it was difficult for her to fall in love with someone again.

"I heard that the trial process was delayed because of me. I came to apologize to you and give you some pastries."

"Can an apology make up for the time? Today is the deadline. If the Major General fails to catch the murderer, the entire Dali Temple will be implicated because of you."

Wu Shaozi was not convinced and angrily retorted on the spot.

With Chu Heng around, Pei'er felt like she had a backer. She spoke up for Xie Chaochao, "Don't blame my wife for your incompetence. My wife knows nothing and is injured. She is no easier than you."

"you!"

"enough."

Chu Heng let out a low shout and turned to glance at Wu Shaozi and everyone else.

The voice was not loud but dignified and solemn, "Xie Chaochao is my wife, I will not allow others to disrespect her. If I find out, it will be considered as insubordination, and I will never forgive it!"

After saying that, he turned around and gave Xie Chaochao a gentle smile, a kind of affection that Wu Shaozi had never seen before, "Let's go."

He took Xie Chaochao and left amid everyone's silence and shock. Pei'er passed by Wu Shaozi and made a face.

When the three people disappeared completely, everyone in Dali Temple began to whisper.

Wu Shaozi was unwilling and angry, so he stomped his feet and left.

……

"The atmosphere here is too bloody. Madam is injured, so there is no need for her to come."

Chu Heng bent down, took the cake and put it into his mouth. It was his favorite osmanthus cake. He never liked eating while working, but today, his appetite was so great that he couldn't help but eat three pieces.

Xie Chaochao blew away the floating tea gently and endured the pain from the sword wound on his body.

"Do you remember what you said yesterday?"

Chu Heng stared at her, his eyes deep and unusually gentle.

"My husband is stupid, please give me some pointers, madam."

"You said, I am your wife, we rise and fall together."

Something seemed to be touched in Chu Heng's heart. She said she was his wife. The sense of belonging made the smile on his face gradually expand. The sweetness of the osmanthus cake could not resist Xie Chaochao's words at this moment.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door, and the man reported that the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple wanted to see them.

Chu Heng put away his thoughts and said, "Madam, please accompany me."

Xie Chaochao naturally would not refuse. He took this opportunity to tell them the clues, making the trip worthwhile.

At the end of the corridor, push the door open.

The bearded man curled up in a stool, staring at the map on the table in deep thought. He looked up and saw Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao. He stood up and smiled, his voice as loud as a bell, deafening.

"General Xiao Chu, this is your wife, right?"

Xie Chaochao bowed, "Chu greets Lord Shaoqing."

"Okay, please take a seat and have some tea."

He simply congratulated the two on their marriage, and then began to discuss the assassination. Chu Heng pointed at the map with a serious expression. The thieves this time were very smart and ran without a trace. No trace could be seen at all.

"Pei'er, do you still remember the hairpin from Yihong Courtyard?"

Xie Chaochao looked at Pei'er and spoke.
