The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

That afternoon, the Shen family received invitations from the Sima family, inviting them to attend the celebration. When Shen Qiwen received the invitation from the housekeeper, he slapped it on the table in anger. He will go to this old face tomorrow. Where to put it, but if he doesn't go, as Zhaoxue's father and Sima Boyi's in-laws, he will be criticized even more.

I don't know what the prime minister thinks, he will go to visit first to find out what's going on, and the matter of Meng Xianglan's entry into the palace will be put on hold for now, Shen Qiwen told her to wait for him to come back from the prime minister, then the prime minister will definitely give a reply Sure way, further instructions.

Meng Xianglan was also anxious. She was worried that Zhao'an would not be calm. She paced back and forth in the yard all day waiting for the master to come back to bring news. It was around dusk when Shen Qiwen stepped into the threshold of Shen's residence, and Meng Xianglan eagerly greeted her. , "What did the Prime Minister say?"

Shen Qiwen glanced at her, and then glanced around at the servants around. Meng Xianglan immediately understood that she would dismiss the other people present, and then whispered, "You go into the palace, just say this to Zhaoan..."

Meng Xianglan nodded while listening to the explanation, and after a while, the corner of her mouth raised an arc, and she couldn't help admiring the prime minister's methods and strategies in her heart.

"Master, don't worry, we will handle this matter without any problem." After Meng Xianglan finished speaking, she was about to yell to go out, but Shen Qiwen called her again, as if asking from the bottom of her heart, "Ma'am, you have nothing to hide. old man?"

Meng Xianglan smiled awkwardly, "How dare the concubine hide something from the master, the concubine is absolutely loyal to the master, and God can learn from it."

"Okay, let's go to the palace, go and come back quickly." Shen Qiwen waved his hand, unwilling to say more, the recent events have bored him to the core.

Meng Xianglan breathed a sigh of relief, could it be that the master has noticed something, and she will never allow anyone to know about Shen Zhaoxue's life experience.

When Meng Xianglan arrived at Shen Zhaoan's bedroom, it was just dark, Shen Zhaoan was impatient, and her tone was full of reproach, "Mother, why are you here now?"

"Mother's good daughter, isn't mother delayed by something? Your father went to the prime minister's place in the afternoon."

"Did dad say anything?" Shen Zhaoan asked hurriedly.

Meng Xianglan pulled Shen Zhaoan aside, and after dismissing the maids in the palace, she calmly said, "The Prime Minister will do his best to help us bring down the Sima family, and he also provided a very important clue."

"What clue?" Shen Zhaoan's eyes lit up, and his emotions were instantly mobilized, excited and excited.

At this moment, Meng Xianglan still unhurriedly took out a folded note from her sleeve, "Just open it and take a look."

Shen Zhaoan took it anxiously and spread out the note in his hands, with a few short words written on it, "Sima Yun."

"Sima Yun?" Shen Zhaoan was a little confused. "My lord, what does this mean?"

"My lord means, let's start investigating Sima Yun. Isn't this consistent with what we thought before? If we want to bring down Shen Zhaoxue so that her life experience will never be known, then we have to start with Sima Yun."

"But mother, we haven't had any clues in the past year. Sima Yun has been outside the border all year round, and there are almost no black spots on his body."

Meng Xianglan didn't think so, "Actually, the Prime Minister has given us a good reminder, and your father also analyzed it for me when he came here. There must be some secret hidden in Sima Yun."

"Secret?" Shen Zhaoan continued to listen blankly.

"Actually, the prime minister has been sending people to collect clues and sort out a few suspicious points for a long time." Meng Xianglan paused and continued to speak slowly, "According to those who have served in Sima Yun's army and are now retired. Veterans said that Sima Yun is very strange. He has been stationed in the western border for more than ten years, and he hardly takes a bath with the soldiers. No one has even seen him take off his shirt. You know, men are always rough, let alone In the barracks, no matter how dirty or hot he was, he would never take off his clothes."

Shen Zhaoan was confused, but still didn't quite understand.

Meng Xianglan continued to list the second point of doubt, "Sima Yun has been injured countless times in battles over the years, but he never let the doctors in the barracks undress for medical treatment. Xue is their only female, it is worth pondering here."

"The third point is that Sima Yun lived in the capital before he was eight years old. People who had contact with him when he was a child said that he was so soft and weak that he didn't look like a boy at all, but he was dressed like a boy. He was neither male nor female. Hardly any friends."

Having said so much, Shen Zhaoan suddenly fell into silence, and Meng Xianglan asked again, "Zhaoan, have you thought of anything?"

"What mother means is that this Sima Yun might be a woman at all?" Shen Zhaoan covered his mouth in fright when he said this, he couldn't believe that he would make such a guess, but the few doubts listed by mother can be analyzed carefully. Isn't that what it is.

Soon, Shen Zhaoan came out to refute again, "Mother, you must not say such nonsense, it will kill you."

"So Zhao'an, we need to investigate this matter clearly. If there is really a problem with Sima Yun's life experience, it will be revealed without a little scrutiny."

Meng Xianglan paused for a moment and then said, "Think about it, Sima Yun and Shen Zhaoxue separated for nearly a year when they were married by order. If he wasn't a woman, why did he separate?"

"But then the two of them got better again..." As soon as the words slipped out of his mouth, Shen Zhaoan opened his mouth again in surprise, "Mother means that Shen Zhaoxue also knows about this matter."

Meng Xianglan nodded, with a sly smile in her eyes, "If this thing is done, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone."

Shen Zhaoan was overjoyed, "Mother, you are simply amazing."

"It's thanks to your father and the Prime Minister's reminder." Meng Xianglan paused and added, "It's not too late. We have to confirm this matter quickly. After all, empty words cannot be trusted."

Shen Zhaoan agreed and nodded, "Mother, I have an idea. Try to find the midwife who delivered the baby back then. Her flowers should not be fake."

Meng Xianglan shook her head, "Since Sima Boyi was able to hide this matter for 20 years, he must have made two preparations. The midwife back then may not be in the capital long ago."

"Then...then what should we do?"

Meng Xianglan's eyes were gloomy, and she was confident, "Then let's start with the people who are closest to Sima Yun."

"Wei Xue and Qin Sun? But the two of them have followed Sima Yun for many years and are his capable lieutenants. I'm afraid they won't do anything to betray Sima Yun."

"You don't have to worry about Zhao'an. The Prime Minister has his own way. We only need to confirm this matter, and we can wipe out the Sima family. At that time, we two don't have to bear the big secret of Shen Zhaoxue's life experience and live carefully. .”

The secrets about Sima Yun can't stand up to scrutiny at all. All these years have passed without incident. That's because he has been keeping a low profile, staying far away and not posing any political threat to anyone. , when many pairs of eyes are fixed on, disasters will naturally lead to the body.
