Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 272
Mrs. Wu was sitting beside the bed in a daze with her daughter in her arms, but she heard a light knock on the door.

Cai Zhaoji's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, can I come in?"

Mrs. Wu quickly adjusted her makeup, stepped forward and opened the door, but there was Mrs. Zhen outside the door besides Cai Zhaoji.

Her heart twitched. Is this something brought to light?
When the three of them entered the room and sat down, they heard Zhen Mi say, "The concubine knows about the matter."

Mrs. Wu thought so, no wonder Zhen Mi came here in person!

Her thoughts changed sharply, what should she say?
He insisted that Yuan Xi forced himself?
It's all like this, does it make sense?
Besides, Zhen Mi came here because she was afraid that she would give birth to a child, which would pose a threat to Yuan Shizong, right?

She felt a little discouraged, and said softly: "I will take medicine to kill the child, Madam, please don't worry."

Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji looked at each other in surprise, and Zhen Mi said, "Madam doesn't want this child?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head and said, "Madam, don't test me. If you are worried, you can ask Mr. Yuan Hua to dispense the medicine himself."

Zhen Mi wondered why Mrs. Wu reacted so strongly, who is the father of the child?

Could it be that there is something hidden in it, Mrs. Cai was coerced?

The one who can threaten Mrs. Cai is probably not her husband's important subordinates, so that Mrs. Cai is so afraid?
She quickly said: "Madam misunderstood me, no matter what happened, Madam and the child are innocent."

Mrs. Wu was bitter in her heart, but she said it lightly. I am also General Polu after all. Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian's wife is the same generation as Yuan Shao. Now that I have the flesh and blood of Yuan Shao's son, if the news spreads, I have no face To see people?
What made Mrs. Wu even more distressed was that although she didn't know whether Yuan Xi was going along with the situation or didn't know anything about it, she was responsible for this matter from the beginning to the end.

If it wasn't for her deliberate attempts to escape, drinking and driving everyone away, she would never have developed into what she is today.

Cai Zhaoji saw that Madam Wu had a stern face and said nothing, "Madam Zhen came here because she wanted to do justice for Madam."

"Can't Madam trust Madam and me?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said indifferently, "I can trust you but I can't, so what?"

"The concubine is like this now, I don't want anything extravagant, I just want to find a place to live quietly for the rest of my life."

Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji looked at each other, thinking that Mrs. Cai was really forced?

Could it be really Guo Jia?

When Zhen Mi saw it, she couldn't ask any more questions, so she got up and said, "I understand Madam's mood very well, and I will go and discuss with my husband what to do."

"Madam, don't worry, I will let Mr. Feng Xiao explain this matter."

Mrs. Wu didn't react for a while, and blurted out: "Mr. Feng Xiao?"

"What does it have to do with him?"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned.

After a while, Zhen Mi's face gradually turned pale, Cai Zhaoji covered her mouth in surprise, and Mrs. Wu's face dripped with sweat.

The three people present were all smart, and immediately realized that the previous conversation was completely wrong!

If it wasn't Guo Jia, who else could it be?

Zhen Mi shook her body for a while, and said bitterly to Cai Zhaoji: "It's because he swore that it wasn't me just now, but he didn't expect that he was really lying to me!"

She stood up and walked out, "I want to understand why he lied to me!"

Cai Zhaoji didn't stop Zhen Mi for a moment, she turned to look at the stunned Mrs. Wu, and said in a shy voice, "Did you really do it?"

Cai Zhaoji couldn't figure it out, there was absolutely no need for Yuan Xi to do such a thing?

It shouldn't be difficult for Yuan Xi to marry a lady of the gentry with Madam Cai's status, but the problem lies in Madam Cai's strict observance of chastity, right?

Yuan Xi was interested in Mrs. Cai, but was rejected by Mrs. Cai, so Yuan Xicai used force to succeed?
Cai Zhaoji was a little dazed, it doesn't look like Yuan Xi's style of doing things!

Yuan Xi really wanted this kind of person, didn't he attack Gongsun Zan's widow Hou?
When Cai Zhaoji and Mrs. Wu were in a daze, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi quarreled for the first time in the room over there.

There were tears in Zhen Mi's eyes. "The concubine never said that the husband is not allowed to find other women, but I never thought that the husband would cheat on the concubine."

"The concubine never thought that the husband forced Mrs. Cai to conceive a child, but pushed it to others. Is this the one who promises a thousand gold?"

Yuan Xi's head exploded, and he became angry: "You women are really unreasonable. If I did it, how could I not say it?"

"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, "Bring Mrs. Cai over here."

After a while, Cai Zhaoji helped Mrs. Wu with a complex expression into the house, and Zhen Mi sent all the maids out, seeing Cao Xian poking around outside the house, she asked, "Do you want to come in?"

Cao Xian shook his head like a rattle, turned around and ran away whirring.

Zhen Mi closed the door and said to everyone: "We are the only ones now, so feel free to say whatever you want."

"My concubine has a problem. If you don't understand things, you will suffer forever."

"Besides, I'm the main wife now, so I have to be responsible for my husband's heirs. Whatever should be, what shouldn't be, and I don't want to make a mistake."

She looked at Yuan Xi: "My husband, if you think what I said is wrong, you can divorce me."

Yuan Xi smiled wryly, "Madam is right."

He immediately said seriously: "But this matter, I have a clear conscience."

"Although I admit that Mrs. Cai is stunningly beautiful, I will not take advantage of others who are in distress!"

"If I attack Mrs. Cai, I will fight."

Mrs. Wu interrupted Yuan Xi and said, "Young master, needless to say, it's all my fault."

Yuan Xi was stunned, and he said angrily, "Ma'am said that, are you 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 night of the New Year?"

Yuan Xi was taken aback when he heard this. After thinking carefully, his expression began to change.

He stammered: "On the night of the Chinese New Year?"

Zhen Mi said aloud: "I guessed that it's almost the same, it's 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 decisively: "There is nothing!"

"I slept in Zhao Ji's room all night!"

"Zhao Ji can testify for me!"

Seeing him pondering for a while, Cai Zhaoji nodded and said, "Young Master is right. I drank too much wine that night and slept in the study. When I returned to my room, it was true that Young Master fell asleep on my couch. .”

After hearing this, Zhen Mi became uncertain again, and said to Mrs. Wu, "Madam, what's going on?"

"Wait!" Yuan Xi suddenly turned pale, and said to Zhao Ji, "I was sleeping when you went back to the house?"

"Aren't you pretending to be asleep?"

Cai Zhaoji was also stunned: "My concubine can't understand what the young master is saying."

"When the concubine returned to the house, the young master was already sound asleep. The concubine pushed him, but the young master didn't wake up, so he fell asleep next to the young master."

Yuan Xi stammered: "No, I had a glass of wine that day, and when I came back to the house in a daze, I saw you pretending to be asleep facing the inside, so, then, then I will spend more than half an hour with you."

Cai Zhaoji bit her lip: "My concubine remembers it very clearly, there is no such thing."

Everyone turned their heads in a daze, and looked at Mrs. Wu who bowed her head and said nothing.

Madam Wu was so ashamed and angry that her palms were about to bleed with the fingers in her sleeves. After a while, she said with difficulty: "It's me."

As soon as these words came out, she immediately felt a lot more relaxed, as if all the shackles on her body had been removed.

With the mentality of breaking a can, she admitted: "It was indeed I who was in Zhaoji's room that night."

"I was drunk at the time and went to the wrong room. When I woke up, things had already happened."

"I didn't want to make this scandal public, so I didn't tell anyone, I kept it a secret."

At this time, although Mrs. Wu was rather self-defeating, she understood that there are some things that cannot be hidden, but there are some things that cannot be said.

Just like her identity, if she speaks out, it will only cause big trouble for Sun Ce today, which is her last bottom line.

Going into Cai Zhaoji's house to steal tokens, of course, can't be said.

It was only then that Yuan Xi and the three figured out what was going on, and fell into an awkward silence for a while.

Zhen Mi first said with difficulty: "In this way, this incident was actually just an accident?"

She turned to Yuan Xi: "It seems that the concubine has wrongly blamed the husband, and the concubine is really ashamed."

Yuan Xi smiled dryly: "No, Madam should have such doubts."

Zhen Mi sighed, "Although Husband didn't mean it, what should we do now?"

Everyone started to be dazed again, this matter was too bizarre, now that the truth came out, the child in Madam Cai's womb was indeed Yuan Xi's flesh and blood, so it was a bit troublesome.

Mrs. Wu said: "I will take medicine to kill it."

Zhen Mi said decisively, "No."

"This is the heir of a husband and gentleman. Who knows who will be born again in the future. How can there be any reason not to?"

Yuan Xi hesitated and said, "But, we should ask Mrs. Cai's opinion on this matter, right?"

He turned sideways and bowed to Mrs. Cai: "Xi was immoral after drinking and harmed Madam. I feel extremely guilty."

Mrs. Wu was in a complicated mood. Yuan Xi tricked herself into drinking the wine. What else could she say?
She had heard Cai Zhaoji say that Yuan Xi was in trouble after drinking, so she couldn't drink. At that time, Madam Wu didn't quite believe it, and her heart was either an excuse or an exaggeration.

However, after she personally experienced it that night, Mrs. Wu understood what this so-called trouble was, and she didn't exaggerate at all, but it was too late.

She could only whisper: "This is the concubine's fault, it has nothing to do with the young master."

Zhen Mi suddenly said, "Does Madam want to marry Husband?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu opened her eyes wide in horror, and once suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Zhen Mi said: "Since madam is already a widow, if madam is willing, I would like to persuade my husband to marry madam with the highest courtesy of a concubine."

She turned to Yuan Xi: "How does your husband feel?"

Yuan Xi was also extremely confused at this time, and said: "Everything is under Madam's arrangement."

Mrs. Wu thought that all of this was crazy, she concealed her identity, and now on the surface she is just an ordinary woman from the noble family. Under such circumstances, she would usually agree.

But if this is the case, sooner or later her identity will not be able to be concealed, won't she become the laughing stock of the world?

She stammered, "Concubine Rong, think twice."

Zhen Mi heard this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my wife's personality and appearance are not inferior to my concubine's. This arrangement really wronged my wife, and my concubine is also very sorry."

She said to Zhao Ji: "Give Madam a few more maidservants, this is a happy event for the Yuan family."
