Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 222 Ancient World 39: Disposal

With the help of her maid, Yue Chuxia tidied herself up and fell into a sound sleep. Although the entire General Zhongyong's Mansion was on high alert, only the people in their yard slept soundly.

Yuwen Xiu came to Lin Xiaotong's yard.

When Lin Xiaotong saw him coming, she lowered her head shyly, then said with some ill intention, "I am naturally very happy that the general came to my place. But will the lady be unhappy?"

Lin Xiaotong's appearance has always been Yu Wenxiu's favorite, but today he had no way to vent his anger and had no idea of ​​appreciating her at all.

Lin Xiaotong waited for a long time, but there was no response from the person in front of her, so she could only raise her head and meet Yuwen Xiu's fierce gaze.

"What's wrong with you, General? Why are you taking it out on me for no reason?"

Yuwen Xiu was extremely angry, but he also knew that now was not the time to alert the enemy, so he could only ask angrily.

"When your father sent you here, he said you were over 18 and unmarried. To avoid gossip, he sent you to the border, right?"

Lin Xiaotong was a little confused but nodded anyway.

"Haha," Yuwen Xiu laughed in anger, "but someone came to your house today and said he was your husband. How are you going to explain it?"

Lin Xiaotong's eyes widened. Hadn't this matter already been dealt with? Why was it being brought up again?

Lin Xiaotong's eyes were filled with tears. "How could the General slander me like this? I won't live anymore!"

The maid beside Lin Xiaotong stopped her, but Yuwen Xiu did not take any action.

"That's better. I'll investigate this matter thoroughly. Until then, you stay here and don't go anywhere!"

After saying this, Yuwen Xiu turned and left.

He is in trouble this time!

Not only was he suspected of treason, but the woman he had always doted on was also someone else's wife.

Thinking of what Liu Feng said before leaving, he became furious.

"General, you don't know why I found out about this, right? Lin Xiaotong is my wife-to-be, so I was naturally overjoyed to have her come to the border! I wanted to give her a surprise, but I didn't expect to not only catch her in an affair, but also accidentally discover this!"

"This woman is extremely promiscuous. General, please be careful. Otherwise, if you accidentally cuckold yourself, it will also damage your reputation!"

Yuwen Xiu came to his study and slammed his hands on the table, but he still didn't feel satisfied.

After smashing most of the things inside, he finally collapsed weakly into the chair.

I hope the investigators can clear his name as soon as possible so that he can leave the mansion. Otherwise, he will be trapped in this loyal and brave general's mansion for the rest of his life!

However, during this period of time, Yuwen Xiu became more and more impatient when looking at Lin Xiaotong.

It was this person who caused him to fall from a famous general to a prisoner, and there was even a possibility that he would never be able to make a comeback.

If this matter cannot be explained clearly, his life will be over!

No matter how beautiful the woman is in your arms, no matter how soft and fragrant she is, compared with your own future, nothing matters.

Yuwen Xiu gritted his teeth and decided to endure it for the time being. He thought for a moment and walked towards Yue Chuxia's yard.

"Madam, I have been through great hardship this time, and I am grateful that you have stayed with me and never abandoned me!"

The corners of Yue Chuxia's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, but he slowly shook his head, "Husband, what are you talking about? You and I are one. Now that disaster is imminent, how can I abandon you!"

Then she changed the subject and said, "It's just..."

"Madam, please tell me what you want to say!"

"Right now, the entire focus is on Concubine Lin. If she can tell us everything, there might still be a chance for recovery. My husband is completely unaware of this matter and has been completely deceived by others. If the Emperor can forgive us, we might still have a chance to turn things around!"

Yuwen Xiu nodded vigorously, but just as he was about to speak, Yue Chuxia continued, "It's a pity that Concubine Lin is pregnant now, so it's really not suitable for her to work too hard. So let's just wait and see! The Emperor is very perceptive and will definitely give the general justice!"

Yuwen Xiu wanted to smile, but found that his face was too stiff to smile.

Although the emperor has sent people to investigate, there are many generals in the court who dislike him. If anyone interferes, this matter will go wrong.

Therefore, you must never think of things too simply!

Yuwen Xiu thought about it and felt that Yue Chuxia was right. Apart from anything else, if Lin Xiaotong could prove that she was indeed innocent, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

As for the child in her belly, Yuwen Xiu couldn't help but sneer, "It's not certain whose child it is, and giving up the child to save your own life is also a good deal!"

Seeing that Yue Chuxia was still crying, Yuwen Xiu had no choice but to leave alone to find someone to deal with the matter.

After everyone left, Yue Chuxia raised her eyes. She no longer looked like she was crying, but smiled sarcastically.

The next day, Yue Chuxia heard that Yuwen Xiu had taken the initiative to hand over Lin Xiaotong, and stated that it was the father and daughter who had deceived him and he was completely unaware of it.

Therefore, I hope the emperor will be lenient with me.

Although Lin Xiaotong was taken away, the investigation has not yet come to any conclusion.

The entire Loyal and Brave General's Mansion has long lost its former glory. All the servants hide in their own rooms and never go out.

Even all the masters in the mansion had to stay in their own small courtyards because other people had been sent to guard the courtyard.

Yuwen Xiu became more and more anxious. The matter had not been clarified yet, which meant that he might really be in trouble!

But he was really wronged. Although he took a woman in, he had no intention of betraying her!

The once loving lovers now wished to cut each other into pieces to vent their hatred.

Afterwards, when everyone received the news, they heard that Lin Xiaotong's father, Brigadier General Lin, had been found, of course not in his own country, but in the enemy country.

In other words, it has been confirmed that Brigadier General Lin was plotting a rebellion, and at the very least he was a traitor and a spy.

As his daughter, Lin Xiaotong was undoubtedly executed.

Even the fetus in her belly had no chance of survival.

When Yuwen Xiu heard the news, he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

The sad thing is that Commander Lin did defect to another country, so he could not escape the charge of lax military discipline, and even if he was not careful he would be branded as a traitor.

What makes me happy is that the emperor has not punished me yet. Perhaps it is because of my merits that he wants to give me a chance to survive.

It wasn't until before the Chinese New Year that the matter was finally concluded.

Brigadier General Lin and his family betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy, so their entire family was executed immediately, and their three clans were also implicated.

Yuwen Xiu was not good at judging people, so he was demoted again and again and exiled to the frontier, never to return to Beijing.

Just because of his contribution to protecting the country, his title will be retained and we will discuss it later.
