Marriage Beloved in Troubled Times: Madam Wants to Run Away from Marriage

Chapter 350 Suspected Japanese

"Zheng Xuan? What is she running here for?" Bai Zhilan's expression darkened immediately, and she snorted again: "Could it be that I couldn't bear it anymore and came to spy on information?"

After sweeping Huo Ting's face, she added: "Or, here to eliminate the evidence?"

Huo Ting's face immediately turned gloomy.

Gu Wan said: "On weekdays, she would go to grandma's yard every three or two days. If we didn't know in advance that the soup was delivered by her, we wouldn't suspect her, but this time she used A Min to deliver it. After replenishing the soup, she didn't run this way for a while, which is a bit guilty, maybe, she herself realized this, so she came here to show her face again."

"What did she do?" Bai Zhilan asked.

"It's nothing," Gu Wan replied, "She's just cooking soup in the kitchen, the kind of warm tonic, she didn't make any heavy tonic, maybe she was afraid of being suspected, so I asked her why she came here to make soup, She said it was the smoke in her little kitchen."

"Didn't let her see your grandma?"

"No," Gu Wan said, "The girl guarding grandma's door brought the soup in. She stood outside the door for a while and then left. But before she left, I saw her take a look into the courtyard."

Bai Zhilan thought for a while, then raised her head and said to Huo Ting: "Since everyone has come to see it, let the commander-in-chief go outside and invite a gardener to deal with the flowers and plants in our yard first." .”

"Just say, a few poisonous scorpions were caught in the old lady's yard. The vegetation was too deep, so they were all dealt with."

Huo Ting nodded, this is an excellent reason.

only……

"If all those flowers and plants are dealt with, naturally the poisonous weeds will also have to be removed. Wouldn't there be no evidence?" Huo Ting said.

This time, he really wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Bai Zhilan: "Wanwan, go to the third drawer on the left under my dressing table. There is a small sandalwood wooden box. Take it out and give it to your father."

Gu Wan got up, walked over there, took out the small wooden box that Bai Zhilan had mentioned, and handed it to Huo Ting.

"Open it!" Bai Zhilan said: "That day, my mother, I, and Wanwan almost drank the Dubu soup. That night, I sent a telegram to my brother. I think the commander also knows that I have been in touch with my brother all these years." Yes, my brother is good at intelligence, this is an old matter, asking him to help is faster than those people in the commander's hands. This was received yesterday morning, the commander-in-chief can take a look."

Huo Ting was slightly startled, and quickly opened it. Inside was the address of the gardener who was in charge of planting those poisonous weeds, the name of the poisonous weed, the time and place of purchase, and even the purchase price. An extremely detailed investigation report on the second wife Zheng Xuan, there is an extremely frightening article on it - Suspected Japanese!

"What does this mean?" Huo Ting asked Bai Zhilan, pointing to the last sentence.

Bai Zhilan replied calmly: "The situation in the north is tense now. I heard that the Japanese army has already entered three provinces and two places. Now the country is weak. There are great powers outside and various forces fighting endlessly. Our sixteen provinces in the south are due to many The mountainous area is relatively stable, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Some people in the capital assert that this country is going to take a difficult road. Since ancient times, the weak have been beaten. If we can't get stronger as soon as possible, we must do something else Prepare.

Therefore, my brother collected a lot of information to analyze the current situation. The focus of the collection was the Wa Kingdom, which was already in its infancy. Since then, a major secret has been discovered. In the past ten years, the Wa Kingdom has trained a large number of spies to sneak into our country. The language and living customs of our country have entered various strata as the weak. Naturally, the most important thing is to lurk in the houses of the powerful so that they can play a greater role.

Among the rich and powerful families in the capital, there are quite a few concubines who are secret workers from the Japanese country. A batch has been cleaned up there, but there are still more people hiding... The focus of my brother's work is to dig out these secret workers When I asked him to investigate Zheng Xuan, he happened to dig out a few secret works. How could the secret workers in the capital know about Zheng Xuan who had never been out of Jiangcheng?

Zheng Xuan naturally became a suspected Japanese.But after my brother seized the time to check, he could only find out about these things, but I remember that Zheng Xuan would go to buy a dress every month, and the commander-in-chief can focus on checking if there are any suspicious places where she goes..."

"This...isn't it possible? Xuan'er... How could Xuan'er be the spy of the Japanese country?" Huo Ting's face was full of disbelief.

He can accept Zheng Xuan's conspiracy to compete for his favor and family position, but he can't accept that Zheng Xuan is a secret agent of the Japanese country, and she has ulterior motives in getting close to him from the beginning.Moreover, if Zheng Xuan's child, Huo Minghao, is really not his, then wouldn't it prove that Huo Ting has been tricked by a woman with ulterior motives all these years?
Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to deny it, so much so that he forgot to defend other women in front of Bai Zhilan, which would make Bai Zhilan feel uncomfortable.

Bai Zhilan immediately said coldly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm tired, and I need to rest. Please close the door for me when the commander-in-chief goes out, thank you."

Saying that, Bai Zhilan really turned over and lay down, with her back to Huo Ting.

It was clear that she had washed her face just now and was about to get out of bed and go for a walk in the courtyard outside.

"Father..." Gu Wan signaled Huo Ting to coax Bai Zhilan with her eyes, and said, "I think there are many things that happen in the family now, as long as there is any doubt, it's okay to check them all. If you dislike me, you can check me carefully. After all, the safety of the family is so important, and the safety of the sixteen provinces in the south is even more important. Father, do you think so?"

"Of course, if the investigation proves that the second lady is not from the Wa country, but just likes to use some small tricks, then it will be fine to use family law to punish, but if... the "suspect" becomes "it is", then It's too late to regret."

Huo Ting was silent for a moment, then said: "Wanwan, you are right."

Then he said to Bai Zhilan: "Lan'er, it's not that I don't believe the things your brother found out, don't get me wrong, I just think this is too unbelievable for a while, look at Zheng Xuan, she and we both It's the same person, how could she..."

"The Japanese came to the Central Plains Dynasty hundreds of years ago. After the Central Plains Dynasty was in war, many people went to the islands to seek refuge. They are the same as us. It is not difficult to mix in with us."
