Guo Jia feels that he must have guessed Yuan Xi's true thoughts. If he carries out this matter for Yuan Xi now, he should get a lot of benefits.
How strange!
How many good outcomes can come to a subordinate's involvement in this kind of heir matter?
Although Zhen Mi now seems to obey Yuan Xi in everything, who knows whether people's thoughts will change as time goes by?
Just look at what happened with Liu Bang and Empress Lu!
Guo Jia: Now heaven and man are at war. I just want to be a counselor quietly and don't want to get involved in your family affairs!
Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi saw Guo Jia's hesitant look, and a thought came to their minds.
It seems, something is not right?
Guo Jia admitted it right away, but he was so reticent, maybe there was something inside?
Yuan Xi stared at Guo Jia and suddenly said, "When did you become acquainted with Mrs. Cai, sir?"
Guo Jia's heart twitched, you asked me to help cover it up, but you asked such a question that could easily reveal the secret?
He hesitantly said: "I can't remember clearly after we captured Guangling City."
Yuan Xi became confused. He had never seen Guo Jia talking to Mrs. Cai on weekdays. When he was in the mansion, Guo Jia should not be so bold.
When he went to Xiapi to negotiate with Liu Bei, Guo Jia also went with him. It seemed that he didn't have much chance. How did the two parties achieve an affair?
How did Mrs. Wu become pregnant? Who was she really pregnant with, Guo Jia?
Yuan Xi's body suddenly shook, and he seemed to have lost his mind!
Is Guo Jiaruo trying to hide something? Is there someone else who is the father of the child in Mrs. Wu's belly?
Yuan Xi suddenly broke into a cold sweat because he thought of something very wrong!
Sun Ce stormed Guangling that day, and he released Qiao Rui to test Sun Ce's true purpose of attacking the city.
But this test did not succeed, because Guan Yu came to help next, Xiapi was attacked by Cao's army, and Sun Ce retreated.
At least on the surface, Sun Ce retreated because there was no hope of capturing Guangling because of Cao Jun and Guan Yu.
But this does not mean that there are no important figures in Guangling City!
If there is really someone Sun Ce values, that person may be closely related to Mrs. Cai, and may even be the father of the child in Mrs. Cai’s belly!
Moreover, Guo Jia is very likely aware of this person's existence and wants to help him cover it up!
Yuan Xi's body suddenly shook. Did Zhou Yu really escape?
Could it be that Zhou Yu failed to escape, but hid in the city anonymously?
Maybe this Mrs. Cai is Zhou Yu’s first wife!
But this guess is something Yuan Xi doesn't want to see, which shows that Guo Jia is very likely to have concealed things from himself!
He stared at Guo Jiada and said, "Mr. Fengxiao, how do I treat you?"
Guo Jia thought to himself, “What the hell, you’re talking about this, how else can I answer it?”
His heart skipped a beat and he said aloud: "Jia Hui will give an explanation to Mrs. Cai."
Zhen Mi said in disbelief: "It's really Mr.?"
Guo Jia felt miserable and could only nod his head.
At this time, Yuan Xi spoke up: "Mr. Fengxiao, do you know Zhou Yu?"
Guo Jia was startled, what did this mean?
He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Silence began to fall in the room, and a strange atmosphere gradually filled the air. The three of them seemed to have a vague sense that something was wrong, but they couldn't figure it out.
Yuan Xi sighed, "I want to believe you, sir."
"But I would like to ask, sir, what do you think about Mrs. Cai's identity?"
Guo Jia thought to himself, is this asking about family background?
Could it be that in order to completely eliminate Mrs. Zhen's suspicion, you hinted that I could not marry Mrs. Cai?
That's right, the child has recognized her, so it seems unjustifiable not to marry the child's mother, right?
How strange!
I jumped on the horse and believed in your lies. If this continues, I can't turn back. If the truth is exposed, I will no longer be a human being inside and out!
The two of them stared at each other, but then they heard Zhen Mi clapped her hands and said, "Oh, I suddenly forgot something."
"It's not convenient for Mrs. Cai to say, but Mr. Yuanhua must know something. Why don't you ask him?"
Guo Jia's heart sank. This Madam Zhen seemed harmless, but she was actually very thoughtful and found the key to the matter in no time.
When he arrived, he did not give a confession to Hua Tuo. If Hua Tuo couldn't help but tell the truth, wouldn't everything be over?
The young master now understands very well, and he should find a way to deal with this matter, right?
What Guo Jia didn't expect was that Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Madam is very smart. The key lies with Mr. Yuanhua."
"Sun Li, go and invite Mr. Yuanhua!"
Guo Jia's vision went dark and his ears buzzed.
Hua Tuo is not necessarily able to figure out the key points and avoid revealing the truth!
Sun Li left, and not long after, Hua Tuo came in with Hua Tuo, who kept wiping his sweat.
When Hua Tuo came in, he couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia, but found that the other person seemed not to notice.
Guo Jia was helpless, what are you looking at me doing at this time?
Is it possible to give a confession on the spot?
Zhen Mi spoke first: "Mr. Yuanhua, if it involves Mrs. Cai's reputation, please tell the truth."
Hua Tuo said dryly: "What do you want to know, madam?"
Zhen Mi said: "How long have you been pregnant with the child in Mrs. Cai's belly?"
Guo Jia's face twitched, and he thought to himself that Mrs. Zhen is really not simple, and she immediately got the point!
Hua Tuo was confused. He glanced at Guo Jia for help. Guo Jia turned his head and pretended not to know.
Hua Tuo calmed down, looked at Yuan Xi, finally calmed down, and said, "About a month, maybe five or six more days."
Yuan Xi calculated it and lost his voice: "Isn't this just around the time of the Chinese New Year?"
While thinking about the people who came in and out of the mansion in those days, he said: "Taishi Citian Yu didn't enter the mansion, so it's obviously impossible."
"Sun Li has been here before, but it's even more impossible."
Sun Li smiled and said: "I have a thief's heart, but I don't have the thief's courage."
Yuan Xi became confused, "Around the Chinese New Year, there are only so many people coming and going in the house?"
Guo Jia glared at Hua Tuo and said helplessly: "I have been here twice before, and it happened that the young master was on patrol in the city."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to Guo Jia with different looks in their eyes.
Yuan Xi was surprised, Hua Tuo was ashamed, and Zhen Mi was confused.
But the look in Zhen Mi's eyes flashed away, and then she said: "I am really petty-minded. I once thought that my husband was very suspicious."
"After all, Mrs. Cai is so beautiful that even my concubine is a little moved."
"But then I thought about it, my husband is not a person who refuses to admit things. He really has something hidden."
She turned to Guo Jiaqi and said: "Mr. Fengxiao, don't give up after all, otherwise Mrs. Cai will be too pitiful."
Guo Jia apologized and said with a smile: "That's what Madam said."
Yuan Xi sighed: "Although I have a clear conscience, at present, I am indeed the most suspect."
"I just suspected that Mrs. Cai is Zhou Yu's first wife and is an extremely important person."
He said to Guo Jia apologetically: "I really can't bear it. I thought Mr. Feng Xiao had an old relationship with Zhou Yu, so I helped him hide it."
Guo Jia was in a daze, what is all this?
He suddenly felt that there seemed to be some strange deviations in his understanding of this matter?
However, Guo Jia didn't want to think too much now. He just wanted to deal with this matter, and he dealt with it immediately by haha.
The matter was over, Guo Jia promised to give an explanation to Mrs. Cai in a few days, and then took Hua Tuo to say goodbye and leave.
He secretly wiped his sweat and thought, just take the blame, it's not a big deal anyway, she's just a noble woman!
Seeing that everyone had left, Yuan Xi smiled at Zhen Mi and said, "It's hard for me to ask Mrs. Cai directly when it comes to the reputation of a noble woman. Fortunately, Mr. Fengxiao took responsibility and this matter can be considered satisfactorily resolved."
However, he found that Zhen Mi's face was a little unhappy, and he said, "What's wrong?"
Zhen Mi shook her head and said softly: "Mr. Fengxiao is lying."
Yuan Xi was surprised: "Why do you think so, madam?"
Zhen Mi opened the cabinet at hand, found a scroll from a pile of bamboo slips, and slowly unfolded it.
"I arranged for the maid to be on duty behind the door. No matter who comes in or out, their name and time of entry and exit will be recorded."
"So I can find out who comes in and out of the inner house and when."
"But Mr. Fengxiao never came during those days."
Yuan Xi looked at the dense entry and exit records on the bamboo slips and was quite surprised: "Madam is really thoughtful, how could she think of doing this?"
Zhen Mi said softly: "I manage the inner house for my husband, so naturally I don't want any mistakes to be made."
"But if what Mr. Yuanhua said is true, during the days when Mrs. Cai was pregnant, there was only one man in the house."
Yuan Xi couldn't help but asked: "Who is it?"
He immediately reacted: "Madam, do you think it's me?"
He said solemnly: "If it was really me who did it, I would tell Madam."
Zhen Mi said softly: "Of course I believe it, but I would rather believe that my husband cheated on me."
"Because if that's not the case, then who is actually with Mrs. Wu?"
"How did you enter the mansion again?"
"Husband, don't you think that the most terrifying thing is that this kind of thing happens under our noses without anyone noticing?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi's face became solemn, "Madam, what you said makes sense."
"What we should do now is trust each other."
"Just now I suspected that Mr. Fengxiao was hiding something. Later I felt that I was overthinking it. But as Madam said, if someone really comes in and out without telling us, it means there is probably a spy in the house."
The two looked at each other in confusion. Who was the father of the child in Mrs. Wu's belly?
Could it be that he saw a ghost?
It's not scary when something bad happens, what's scary is not knowing how it happened!
Although they are already in Youzhou, are there still unrest in Guangling City?
Yuan Xi calmed down, calm down, must calm down!
Things shouldn't be that bad!
He began to think, first eliminating the most unlikely things.
Guo Jia had no reason to betray him. He had been wandering around with him for two years. What temptation could possibly make him betray him?
It should not be possible for Hua Tuo. He had followed Chen Deng earlier and promised him what he desired most, and he had no reason to betray himself.
It’s impossible for Sun Li….
Taishi Citian Yu…..
The slaves in the house...? This is even more outrageous!
Yuan Xi couldn't help but rub his temples and said helplessly: "No, I can't figure it out at all."
"Actually, asking directly is the most effective."
Zhen Mi nodded and said, "What?"
Yuan Xi spoke out: "As a man, it is naturally inconvenient for me. It would be best if Madam goes to ask, or you can ask Zhao Ji to go."
Zhen Mi thought for a while and said, "I'll go with Zhao Ji."
