Chapter 131 Eavesdropping, Sister-in-law 4 is leaving Shangjing
Qiu Ge was a simple-minded person. When Wan Zhou asked her to read a letter, she actually took one out of the basket and opened it.
Qiu Ge originally didn't know many words. After Wan Zhou was reborn, she realized the importance of recognizing words. She studied on her own and asked Bai Lu and Qiu Ge to study together. In two years, Qiu Ge had recognized nearly a thousand words, and reading a letter was no problem for her.
Qiu Ge first unfolded the letter, looked at the front, rolled his eyes, and then hurriedly looked at the signature at the back.
Just one word: “zheng”.
Oh my god...
"Miss, it's a letter from the general." Qiu Ge handed the letter to Wan Zhou.
Wan Zhou didn't take it and said coldly, "Burn it."
After being quiet for a few days, I found a new way to annoy her.
irritable.
"Miss, why don't you pick two letters and take a look at them." Although Qiu Ge didn't understand what love was, she knew that General Ji had put a lot of thought into writing so many of them.
Pick two?
Wan Zhou frowned and looked out.
Qiu Ge saw her looking over and quickly brought the basket to her. "There are so many of them. Did you burn them all?"
Wan Zhou looked at the basket and saw at a glance that there were at least 30 letters in two neatly bundled bundles. His good mood after getting up early was disturbed.
"It's all burned."
"Miss..." Qiu Ge still felt a little bit sorry. Bai Lu looked at her and she stopped talking.
"I understand." Qiu Ge walked out holding the basket.
The letter was taken away, but Wan Zhou's mood was affected. She suddenly realized that it might not be so easy to let Ji Nanzheng let go completely.
Is it possible to leave Shangjing and stay away from it so that I can have peace and quiet?
She had not considered leaving before, and she did not even consider moving as suggested by Mrs. Wang, because she did not want to leave or move for anyone.
Now she began to think about it, not for anyone else, but for herself and for peace of mind.
After breakfast, I went to the garden to bask in the sun again. After walking around and sitting in a recliner, I began to think unconsciously.
If she really left Shangjing, where would she go? She had been to some places before, but the ones she liked the most were Shu and Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is rich, with beautiful scenery, small bridges and flowing water, and a pleasant climate. Shu is also rich, with a worse climate, but compared to Jiangnan, the people there are more enthusiastic and more tolerant.
She thought, if she had to choose a place, her first choice would be Shu.
But this is not a trivial matter. She is not alone now. Even if she leaves, she has to consider it after giving birth.
"Let Maodou prepare the car, I want to go out." Because she was pregnant, Wan Zhou hadn't gone out for a long time.
After sitting in the car and driving around for a while, we decided to go to Juxianlou.
I didn't go there to eat, the food in the mansion was very good, I just wanted to kill time. As soon as I walked in, the shopkeeper came to greet me.
"Miss Gu hasn't been here for a long time. Mr. Hua is here too, do you want to notify him?"
Wan Zhou knew that Hua Yang was dealing with official business in Juxian Building, and he didn't want to disturb him, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Wu."
Huayang was a stubborn person. Not only did he insist on calling her Miss, but now that she was a single woman, he would not even step into her door.
When there is something going on, we usually ask someone to pass the message. If that cannot be done, we write a letter.
Now that we've met, we can have a few words.
Shopkeeper Wu personally led Wan Zhou upstairs. Just as she reached the corner of the stairs, two groups of people came in from the door.
One group was a few young ladies from official families dressed in rich clothes. They looked in the direction of the stairs and exchanged malicious glances.
The other group of people were several wealthy young men. One of them pulled the young man next to him.
"Nan Xian, do you see that? That's Gu Wanzhou, your famous former fourth sister-in-law."
When Ji Nanxian heard that it was Wan Zhou, he subconsciously looked over. He had always wanted to get to know Wan Zhou, and since he finally ran into him in a restaurant, of course he had to say hello.
"You guys take a seat first." Ji Nanxian said, and followed him upstairs. He paused again when he saw Wan Zhou entering the wing room from a distance.
He thought that Gu Wanzhou had already divorced his fourth brother, so it might be too abrupt for him to go and look for him like this, and he was quite hesitant.
In the end, I felt it was abrupt, so I gave up. I turned around and prepared to go downstairs, but my curiosity got the better of me halfway through.
He just said hello and left, at least to get a clear look at what his fourth brother's beloved sister-in-law looked like.
So he went back, and by coincidence, he saw Huayang entering the private room.
Oh, it turned out that she was having a secret meeting with a man! Ji Nanxian instantly wanted to catch the adulterer, but the next moment, he scolded himself.
Ji Nanxian, don't you claim to be open-minded? All your travels are in vain. What's wrong with a man and a woman meeting each other? You have to think of people in a dirty way. You are narrow-minded and ignorant.
However, for the sake of his fourth brother, he really couldn't pretend he didn't see it. At least he had to know who the other party was and what his relationship with Gu Wanzhou was. Knowing yourself and the enemy would give you a greater chance of winning.
After thinking for a while, he pushed open the door of the private room next to Wan Zhou. Just when no one was inside, he sneaked in and closed the door immediately. In all conscience, Ji Nanxian did things openly and honestly. The first time he eavesdropped was for someone else.
In this kind of wooden house, if there are sounds on both sides, you cannot hear what is said to the other side if you do not listen carefully. But if one side is quiet and you listen close to the wall, you can hear it.
Over there, Huayang sat down and saw that Wanzhou's eyes seemed to be covered with dust, so his eyes also dimmed.
"Miss, do you have something to ask for today?" What he actually wanted to ask was: Is Miss worried about something?
But he felt that it was a bit over the line. He asked Wan Zhou if he had something to say. If he did, he would tell him. If not, he would not ask.
His role had always been to listen and solve problems, and he didn't allow himself to pry.
Wan Zhou smiled and said, "I just want to go out for a walk."
She originally wanted to take a walk, but now that she saw Huayang, she remembered the problem from this morning.
"Brother Huayang, what do you think of Shu?"
Hua Yang frowned when he heard this, and asked after a moment: "Miss, do you want to leave Shangjing?"
"Yeah." Wan Zhou did not hide anything from Huayang and told him her initial thoughts.
Ji Nanxian, who was eavesdropping next door, immediately sounded the alarm when he heard Wanzhou say he was leaving Shangjing. If Gu Wanzhou really left, what would the fourth brother do?
He could imagine Fourth Brother's stubborn temper of not turning back even if he hit a wall. If he didn't chase after her and get her back, he would probably never marry.
Ji Nanxian was no longer in the mood to listen, so he sneaked out of the private room and went back to find Ji Nanzheng.
At this time, Ji Nanzheng was listening to someone reporting that Wan Zhou had left the house.
He arranged two people next to Wan Zhou, and gave them the task of protecting Wan Zhou's residence. Today, Wan Zhou went out, and the two heard the noise and felt suspicious.
The general only asked them to protect the neighbors, and did not say whether they should follow him when he went out. In the end, the two decided that one would follow the car while the other would go to report to Ji Nanzheng.
This is not considered dereliction of duty.
As the first general and the prince's tutor, Ji Nanzheng is usually either with the prince or in the military camp. If he is not in the military camp, he is at the desk.
He is at the desk today.
After listening to the report, he thought for a moment and ordered: "Follow from a distance, don't disturb, just ensure safety."
The man took the order and left, and Ji Nanzheng continued to handle official business.
He was the kind of person who was focused on his work, but today he had been restless since morning, wondering if Wan Zhou had read his letters, how many letters he had read, and what he thought...
Now, when he heard that she was going out, someone who had not gone out for quite some time, and that it happened to be the day he had delivered the letter, he felt restless and could not sit still.
Finally, I was too bored to think about it and got up and left the desk.
He didn't want to cause himself the trouble of associating Wan Zhou's going out with his letter, so he thought that since Wan Zhou was out, he should go out too. If they were destined to meet, maybe they could meet and see each other from afar, which would not be considered a violation.
He didn't know where Wan Zhou was, but he walked towards Juxian Building for some unknown reason.
