Mrs. Wu was holding her daughter and sitting beside the bed in a daze, when she heard a gentle knock on the door.
Cai Zhaoji's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, can you come in?"
Mrs. Wu quickly adjusted her makeup, stepped forward to open the door, and saw that besides Cai Zhaoji, there was also Mrs. Zhen outside the door.
Her heart twitched, was this something revealed?
The three of them entered the room and sat down, then heard Zhen Mi say: "I already know what happened."
Mrs. Wu really thought so, no wonder Zhen Mi came in person!
Her mind was racing, what should she say?
Do you insist that Yuan Xi forced himself on him?
That’s it, does it make sense?
Moreover, Zhen Mi came here because she was afraid that she would give birth to a child and threaten the Yuan clan, right?
She felt a little unmotivated and said softly: "I will take medicine to abort the child. Madam, please don't worry."
Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji looked at each other in surprise, and Zhen Mi said, "Madam, you don't want this child?"
Mrs. Wu shook her head and said, "Madam, please stop testing me. If you are worried, you can ask Mr. Yuanhua to prepare the medicine himself."
Zhen Mi wondered why Mrs. Wu had such a big reaction. Who is the father of the child?
Could it be that there is something hidden inside, that Mrs. Cai was forced by someone?
Who can threaten Mrs. Cai? Is it possible that it is not her husband’s important subordinates that makes Mrs. Cai so afraid?
She quickly said: "Madam, you have misunderstood me. No matter what happened, madam and the child are innocent."
Mrs. Wu felt bitter in her heart, but she said it lightly. After all, I am also a Polu general. Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, is married to Yuan Shao. Now I have the flesh and blood of Yuan Shao's son. If the matter spreads, I will have a reputation.
Meet someone?
What makes Mrs. Wu even more distressed is that although she doesn't know whether Yuan Xi is just following the trend or is ignorant about this matter, from the beginning to the end, this matter is her own fault.
If she hadn't deliberately tried to escape, poured wine and drove people away, she wouldn't have developed into what she is now.
Cai Zhaoji saw that Mrs. Wu was sullen and silent, so she said, "Mrs. Zhen came here just to seek justice for Mrs. Zhen."
"Madam, can't you trust Madam and me?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said indifferently: "I believe it or not, so what?"
"As I am now, I don't want anything more. I just want to find a place to live in peace for the rest of my life."
Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji looked at each other and wondered, was Mrs. Cai really forced?
Could it be that it is really Guo Jia?
Seeing that it was not easy to ask any more questions, Zhen Mi stood up and said, "I understand Madam's mood very well. I will go and discuss with your husband what to do."
"Madam, please rest assured, I will let Mr. Fengxiao give an explanation on this matter."
Mrs. Wu didn't react for a moment and blurted out: "Mr. Fengxiao?"
"What does it have to do with him?"
As soon as these words came out, the three people were stunned.
After a while, Zhen Mi's face gradually began to turn pale. Cai Zhaoji covered her mouth in surprise, and sweat poured down Mrs. Wu's face.
The three people present were all smart and smart, and they immediately realized that the previous conversation was completely out of line!
If it wasn’t Guo Jia, who else could it be?
Zhen Mi shook her body and said bitterly to Cai Zhaoji: "Thankfully, he just swore that it was not him. I didn't expect that he was really lying to me!"
She stood up and walked out, "I want to know why he lied to me!"
Cai Zhaoji did not stop Zhen Mi for a moment, turned to look at the dumbfounded Mrs. Wu, and said in a harsh voice: "Did the young master really do it?"
Cai Zhaoji couldn't figure it out. There was no need for Yuan Xi to do such a thing?
It shouldn't be difficult for Yuan Xizhen to marry a noble woman of Mrs. Cai's status. Then the problem lies in Mrs. Cai's strong integrity, right?
Yuan Xi was interested in Mrs. Cai, but Mrs. Cai rejected her, so Yuan Xi used force to succeed?
Cai Zhaoji was a little confused. This didn't look like Yuan Xi's style of doing things!
If Yuan Xi really wanted this kind of person, wouldn't he have attacked Gongsun Zan's widow Hou?
While Cai Zhaoji and Mrs. Wu were in a daze, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi had an argument for the first time in the room over there.
Zhen Mi had tears in her eyes. "I never said that I would not let my husband find another woman, but I never thought that my husband would lie to me."
"I never expected that my husband forced Mrs. Cai to conceive the child and then passed it on to someone else. Is this the same husband I know who promises a lot of money?"
Yuan Xi's head was pounding, and he became angry: "You women are really unreasonable. If I did it, how could I not tell you?"
"I obviously didn't do anything, why should I admit it?"
"And why do you think it must be me who did it?"
After hearing this, Zhen Mi said to the maid: "Invite Mrs. Cai here."
After a while, Cai Zhaoji helped Mrs. Wu, who had a complex expression, into the house. Zhen Mi sent all the maids out. When she saw Cao Xian poking his head outside the house, she asked, "Do you want to come in?"
Cao Xian shook his head like a rattle, turned around and ran away in a whoosh.
Zhen Mi closed the door and said to everyone: "There are only a few of us now, feel free to say whatever you want."
"I have a problem. If I don't figure it out, I will be miserable for the rest of my life."
"Besides, I am the head wife now, and I have to be responsible for my husband and his children. Whatever should be done is what should be done, and what should not be done, I don't want to make a mistake."
She looked at Yuan Xi: "If your husband thinks what I said is wrong, you can divorce me."
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Madam is right."
He then said seriously: "But I have a clear conscience about this matter."
"Although I admit that Mrs. Cai is stunningly beautiful, I will not take advantage of someone in distress!"
"If I take action against Mrs. Cai, I will be beaten by God."
Mrs. Wu interrupted Yuan Xi and said, "Young Master, there is no need to say anything else. It's all my fault."
Yuan Xi was stunned and said angrily: "Madam, by saying this, you are insisting on me?"
"I didn't offend Madam, did I?"
Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "This is all my fault."
"Young Master, don't you remember anything about the New Year's Eve?"
Yuan Xi was suddenly startled after hearing this. He thought carefully and his expression began to change.
He stammered: "On New Year's Eve?"
Zhen Mi said aloud: "I guessed that it would be the New Year's Eve!"
"That night before I went to bed alone, I asked you to sleep in Zhaoji's room. Did you take the opportunity to run into Mrs. Cai's room?"
Yuan Xi said flatly: "Nothing!"
"I slept in Zhao Ji's house all night!"
"Zhao Ji can testify for me!"
Seeing him thinking for a while, Cai Zhaoji nodded and said: "Young Master is right. I drank too much that night and slept for a while in the study. When I returned to the room, I found that Young Master was indeed asleep on my couch.
.”
After hearing this, Zhen Mi became uncertain again and said to Mrs. Wu: "Madam, what is going on?"
"Wait!" Yuan Xi suddenly turned pale and said to Zhao Ji: "I was sleeping when you came back to the house?"
"Aren't you pretending to sleep?"
Cai Zhaoji was also stunned: "I can't understand what the young master is saying."
"When I came back to the house, the young master was already asleep. I pushed him, but he didn't wake up, so he fell asleep next to him."
Yuan Xi stammered: "That's not right. I drank a glass of wine that day and when I came back to the room feeling dizzy, I saw you facing in and pretending to be asleep. Then I spent most of an hour with you."
Cai Zhaoji bit her lip: "I remember it very clearly and there is no such thing."
Everyone turned their heads blankly and looked at Mrs. Wu, who lowered her head and remained silent.
Mrs. Wu was so embarrassed and angry that her fingers inside her sleeves pinched her palms to the point of bleeding. After a while, she spoke with difficulty: "It's me."
As soon as these words came out of her mouth, she suddenly felt much more relaxed, as if all the shackles on her body had been removed.
With a broken-hearted mentality, she admitted: "It was indeed me who was in Zhao Ji's room that night."
"I was drunk at the time and went to the wrong room. When I woke up, it had already happened."
"I didn't want to make this scandal public, so I didn't tell anyone and kept it to myself."
By this time, although Mrs. Wu was quite giving up on herself, she understood that some things that could not be hidden could be said, but some things could not be said.
Just like her identity, if it is revealed, it will only cause big trouble for Sun Ce now. This is her final bottom line.
Of course, you can't say anything about entering Cai Zhaoji's house to steal the token.
Only then did Yuan Xi and the other three people understand what had happened, and fell into an awkward silence for a while.
Zhen Mi first spoke with difficulty: "In this way, this matter is actually just an accident?"
She turned to Yuan Xi: "It seems that I made the mistake of blaming my husband. I am really ashamed."
Yuan Xiqian smiled and said: "No, it is right for Madam to have this question."
Zhen Mi sighed: "Although my husband didn't mean it, what should I do now?"
Everyone started to be stunned again. This thing was too bizarre. Now that the truth was revealed, the child in Mrs. Cai's belly was indeed Yuan Xi's flesh and blood. This was a bit troublesome.
Mrs. Wu said: "I will take medicine to abort it."
Zhen Mi said flatly: "No."
"This is my husband's heir. Who knows who will be reborn in the future, so why not reject it?"
Yuan Xi hesitated and said, "But, should I ask Mrs. Cai what she thinks about this matter?"
He turned sideways and bowed to Madam Cai: "Xi was drunk and immoral. He harmed Madam. I feel extremely guilty."
Mrs. Wu was in a complicated mood. Yuan Xi had tricked herself into drinking the wine. What else could she say?
She had long heard that Cai Zhaoji had said that Yuan Xi was in trouble after drinking, so he could not drink. At that time, Mrs. Wu did not believe it, and she thought it was either an excuse or an exaggeration.
However, after she experienced it for herself that night, Mrs. Wu understood what the so-called trouble was, and it was not an exaggeration at all, but it was too late to regret it.
She could only whisper: "This is my fault and has nothing to do with the young master."
Zhen Mi suddenly said: "Madam, do you want to marry your husband?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu opened her eyes wide in horror, and for a time she suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Zhen Mi said: "Since Madam is already a widow, if Madam is willing, I would like to advise your husband to marry Madam with the highest concubine gift."
She turned to Yuan Xi: "How do you feel, husband?"
Yuan Xi was also extremely confused at this time and said: "Everyone listens to Madam's arrangements."
Mrs. Wu thought that all this was crazy. She concealed her identity and now appeared to be just an ordinary noble woman. In this case, she would usually agree.
But in this case, sooner or later her identity will be unable to be concealed, and won’t she become the laughing stock of the world?
She hesitated and said, "I'll give you permission to think again."
After hearing this, Zhen Mi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my wife's character and appearance are no less than my concubine's. This arrangement really wrongs my wife, and I feel sorry for her."
She said to Zhaoji: "It will be a happy event for the Yuan family to provide Madam with more maids."
