Taohuaxi

Chapter 85 Doubt

He stood three feet away from me.

Not moving forward.

In his eyes, the moon was setting and the crow was crying.

At the fourth watch, the extremely sincere light he had when he was lying next to my pillow dimmed.

Thick eyelashes are covered with frost.

All the servants and maids in the room retreated, leaving him and me alone.

I have never felt that the distance of three feet is so long.

"Did the wine from Fuliang merchants taste good last night?"

I didn't realize that my words were already filled with [-]% sarcasm and [-]% doubt.

"It's not as good as the wine you make."

He is still lying.

To this day, he is still lying.

The anger in his chest spread out and burned into pieces.I found the camphor wood box in the corner of the house and threw it to the ground.Incense burners, peony paintings, and old handkerchiefs were scattered all over the floor.

I burst into tears: "After Feng Gaoruo was killed, do you think we can still be happy? I don't know why you want to help the Zheng family, and I don't know what your purpose is. We are already married, even if you don't think about me , Aren’t you thinking about the child in my belly?”

He finally took a step and hurriedly picked up the old handkerchief and peony paintings, fearing that they would be blown away by the wind.

"Sang Yu, you know clearly that these things are my treasured thoughts, how can you bear it?" His voice was so sad, but his face was calm.

He sat on the ground, hugged his knees, looked at me, and said, "Sang Yu, you have never believed in me, right? If it were Cheng Huaishi, would you be like this?"

I was stunned.

I do not know what to say.

His words pushed both him and me into an extremely embarrassing situation.

"You went to the Zheng family's warehouse last night, right?"

"Yes." He answered simply.

"Then why did you lie to me and go drink with Fuliang merchants?"

"I'm not lying to you. Drinking with Fuliang merchants comes first, and going to the warehouse comes later."

He closed the camphor wood box and rubbed it over and over again with his palms.

I stand in front of him.

Can't move.

"You took the factory guards to the warehouse, yes or no?"

"Yes."

It is clearly early August and it is still hot in Jiangnan, but I feel cold.

The one-eyed dragon was right.

I wasn't wrong either.

There seemed to be something blocked in my throat. After a while, I said with difficulty: "Why are you doing this?"

He lowered his head and said word by word: "Feng Changgong knows about this matter."

"How could it be? How could he leave such a thing in the hands of the Zheng family..." After half a sentence, I felt it was inappropriate and cut it off abruptly.

Since he said so firmly that Feng Gao knew about it, maybe there was another hidden reason for the matter.

I should never speak to him in a questioning tone again.

Of all the kinships in the world, the most difficult one is husband and wife.Closest relatives, closest relatives.Far and near.

Like a glass cup.When there is light, it is beautiful.When it fell to the ground, it was broken into pieces.

"Sang Yu, I told you a long time ago that if you don't take part in military affairs and temple planning, how can you know about it? This matter is very complicated. I don't understand it, and neither do you. But Mr. Feng Chang It's the most obvious. I think he must have planned a strategy to deal with it. The reason why he didn't tell you is, firstly, that Mr. Feng was afraid that you would be worried during pregnancy and harm the fetus, so he specifically asked me not to tell you; secondly, the matter It's so important that the fewer people who know about it, the more realistic it will be. Even the two factory guards didn't tell."

He smiled bitterly.

"I thought about your reaction many times, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Sang Yu, maybe I was really wrong. I overestimated my position in your heart."

He rose like a tree swept by frost and snow.

Step by step, move towards the door.

Xiaoyin stood outside the door tremblingly. When she saw him walking out, she hurriedly said: "Uncle, you and the lady are newly married, don't be angry. It's not worth it. Even the big things are not worth it. The harmony between husband and wife is the most important. Miss, please don't worry. If you say a sentence or a half incorrectly, just treat it like the wind has passed your ears and let it pass."

He said softly: "I'm not holding my breath. Xiaoyin, take good care of Miss. I stewed the bird's nest in the kitchen. It will be ready in about three-quarters of an hour. Let it warm and serve it to her. Just put a spoonful of sugar in it. .”

The doctor said that I should not eat too much sweet food during pregnancy, and he remembered it deeply.

He strode to the courtyard.

I rushed out and asked, "Mingxu, where are you going?"

"The [-] pieces of silk from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau will be shipped and delivered today. I need to go take a look." He said.

The blue shirt, under the sun, looks like the water flowing in the canal.He turned around and added: "It's true."

These three words soaked through the eaves.

Since I met him, I felt for the first time that there was smoke and fog between me and him.

He's gone.

Xiaoyin helped me and sat down in the room.

"Miss, my uncle has such a good temper. You slapped him so hard, but he didn't even say a harsh word to you. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give you the bird's nest he had stewed."

Yes, he didn't say a harsh word to me.

I hope he can quarrel with me confidently.

Anger, on the face.

Disappointed, but in my heart.

My doubts, my slap, and the camphor wood box I resolutely threw to the ground cut deep wounds in his heart and in our relationship as husband and wife.

If it were Cheng Huaishi, would you do this?
When he asked this question, everything changed.

If the spring breeze doesn't understand why it blows away the fallen flowers.

After a few days of anxiety, I suddenly heard that the Zheng family warehouse had been stolen, and there had been a shocking turn of events.

Not only did Long Live Master not blame Dongchang, but he also commented on the note presented to the Zheng family: It is no longer possible to catch wind and shadow.How can we say the word "treason" lightly?

The unlucky situation for Feng Gao that Concubine Zheng was waiting for did not appear.

Banzai didn't even try the case.

The people of the Zheng family were puzzled.

Long Live Lord has always been very suspicious.Why was it that this time, two factory guards were arrested on the spot, but after the fact, Long Live Master just ignored them?
No one knew that Feng Gao had secretly communicated with Long Live Lord before this incident happened.He said that the Zheng family's temple was destroyed due to canal flood discharge, and this construction should be paid more attention to. Dongchang received information that the northern Tatars were interested in the money for temple repairs due to the shortage of food and grass. They should not Unexpectedly, he left two factory guards in Yangzhou to conduct secret reconnaissance at all times. If there were any changes, he would immediately mobilize troops to destroy the bandits.

Long live the Lord agreed.He told Feng Gao that such important military and national affairs must not be leaked.

Therefore, if the factory guard showed up in the warehouse, Banzai would have known about it for a long time.

The Zheng family detained the factory guards in such a big way without reporting the matter, causing a huge uproar. It only showed that they were narrow-minded and excluded dissidents.

Feng Gao not only knew about the farce on the third day of August, he was also a chess player.

Whichever move the chess piece takes is entirely predictable.

The Zheng family thought they had a clever plan, so they hired a group of people to pretend to be bandits, and then asked Qin Mingxu to call in the factory guards, thus creating the illusion that the East Factory was colluding with bandits and had evil intentions.

But I didn't expect that this was a plan within a plan.

Qin Mingxu thought about it and made a decision.He told Feng Gao what the Zheng family ordered him to do.

After Feng Gao found out, he asked him to do it and not to arouse the Zheng family's suspicion.

then--

The prologue opens, the gongs and drums are beating, the new moon is clear, and it's a good show.

What's more serious is that the Tatars did come that night.

The Zheng family held on to the factory guards and missed the golden opportunity to eliminate the bandits.

The group of people hired by the Zheng family to pretend to be bandits were killed by the Tatars and their bodies were abandoned in Xipoling.

The Tartars stripped them of their clothes and came to rob the warehouses.

Those who stopped the Tatars were not the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, nor the servants of the Zheng Mansion, but the real bandits of Shenju Mountain.

Doubtful.

Deeply psychedelic.

Among the Zheng family's so-called "bandit gangs", the bandits from Shenju Mountain not only failed to rob the warehouse, but by some combination of circumstances, actually protected the warehouse.

The one-eyed dragon, the bandit leader of Shenju Mountain, urgently led more than a thousand troops to fight the Tatars in a bloody battle on Xipo Ridge.

The hero was brave and refused to turn around. The one-eyed dragon shouted "Kill——", and the brothers from Shenju Mountain rushed forward. Xipo Ridge was filled with dust and smoke, and dead bodies lay on the ground.

One-eyed dragon killed more than [-] Tatars in one battle and captured more than [-] people alive.

Among them, one person was Agula, a fierce general in the Tatar army.

The one-eyed dragon has accomplished great feats.

Although the Zheng family was very confident and called them ruthless bandits, Feng Gao ordered the factory guards to investigate and report to the court and present the prisoners of war, which shocked all officials, both civil and military.

The green forest bandits actually have such a desire to repay.

Fight against the invaders without fear of death.

Wanzai issued an order and ordered Feng Gao to go to Shenju Mountain in person to recruit peace.

The night when Feng Gao arrived in Yangzhou, the moon was full during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The huge full moon is like a teardrop.Desolate, desolate.
