Chapter 352: The Infatuated General's Cannon Fodder Wife (6)
Both he and Duan Mingzhu were tortured badly this month.
As soon as they got into love, they rolled on the ground in pain.
Only by restraining the emotions in your heart can you relieve the pain.
After a month, his impulse towards Duan Mingzhu faded a lot, and he focused more on the livelihood of the general's mansion.
Now, not only had he spent all his money, but he also had a lot of debts from the shops outside.
Seeing that there had been no news from his wife who had gone to the capital for a long time, he became a little anxious.
He wrote a letter to his old Taishan overnight, asking him to take a letter to his wife and ask her to come back.
On the one hand, he also needed a lot of money to pamper Princess Mingzhu.
On the other hand, if he didn't return the silver, his reputation would be ruined in the entire border town.
What's more important!
Duan Mingzhu kept talking about marrying her.
Just now, he came back from inspecting the military camp and saw Duan Mingzhu holding her chest, standing at the gate to greet him with a slightly uncomfortable look, "Ali, you're back?"
"Well, yes! Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Tong Li wanted to reach out and touch her, but hesitated and retracted his hand.
He found that if he didn't have feelings for her, he wouldn't feel the pain as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart.
"Ali, I have good news to tell you. I am pregnant with your child." Duan Mingzhu lowered her head and said in a low voice.
She now realized that she could not be attracted to the man in front of her, so she tried her best to avoid looking him in the eye.
Now, the most important thing for her is to find a backer for herself.
After all, she was just pretending to be Princess Mingzhu and knew nothing about her past.
Therefore, the man in front of him is a first-rank general, who is very powerful.
It's perfect to have him as my backup.
"Pregnant? That's great! Xiaoyun, help your master go in and rest!" Tong Li ordered the maid behind her.
"Yes!"
"Ali, I already have your child. Have you ever thought about our future?" Duan Mingzhu asked her softly.
"This..." Tong Li sighed and started again.
A few days ago, she didn't have a child, which was easy to explain, so he just brushed it off.
Now, there is no way he can hide!
"I have already written a letter to Fu Jin, asking her to come back! When the time comes, I will give you a satisfactory explanation." Tong Li quickly comforted her.
"Ali, I am a dignified Princess Heshuo. Are you going to give me the position of a concubine?" Duan Mingzhu looked at his expression and knew that he had no intention of divorcing his wife.
"No, I, I..." Tong Li did have the idea of taking her as a concubine.
After all, she is an orphan now and only has the title of Heshuo Gege.
A few days ago, news came from the capital that the fourth prince supported by Prince Rui had ascended the throne.
However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not mention any of King Rui's contributions, but only announced to the public that he was killed by a villain.
The new emperor didn't even send anyone to look for the missing Princess Mingzhu, simply thinking that her entire family was gone.
This was totally different from what he expected.
I don’t know what happened between Prince Rui and the new emperor that made the new emperor behave like this.
Moreover, although his wife was only a descendant of Doroggege, her father and brothers were powerful and could provide him with a lot of help in the court.
Fu Jin's dowry was huge, and he also needed the support of Fu Jin and her family.
"So what? What kind of status do you plan to give me?" Duan Mingzhu covered his heart and asked pretending to be uncomfortable.
Looking at her appearance, Tong Li suddenly felt pity for her.
He groaned and whispered, "When the wife comes back, I will welcome you as a concubine!"
"Concubine?"
Duan Mingzhu sneered, "Ali, I am a Heshuo princess! How dare you only let me be a concubine?"
Tong Li's heart suddenly turned cold when he saw her expression. "Now you only have the title of Heshuo Gege, but the capital city doesn't care about you. I can give you the position of concubine, which is already good enough!"
"You, what do you mean?" Duan Mingzhu stopped pretending and asked angrily.
"Mingzhu, don't be angry! You have my child in your belly, you can't be angry."
Tong Li saw that she looked charming even when she was angry, so he softened his heart and said, "You have seen this now, General! Without the support of the wife's dowry, I can no longer pay for my daily expenses. If so... how can I support you and the child!"
After hearing what he said, Duan Mingzhu calmed down a little. "I am a Heshuo Gege, I cannot be inferior to others! So, when your wife comes back, you can let her be your concubine, and I will be your main wife, okay?"
Seeing Tong Li looking at her expressionlessly, she immediately said, "As for the issue of money expenditure, I'll find a way!"
As a time traveler, making money is a piece of cake for her.
Tong Li thought about it and nodded, "If you can solve the problem of money expenditure, I will wait for Fu Jin to come back and discuss it with her."
Thinking that Mrs. Ge was indeed old and ugly, it would be a very face-saving thing if he had such a beautiful young wife and took her out.
Then we can let her be treated as a concubine.
After all, according to the royal rules, if he wanted to marry a Heshuo Gege, he had to first execute his wife to make room for her.
By doing this, I haven't endangered her life, so it can be considered a perfect ending!
Su Li, who was far away in the capital, couldn't help but sneer when he used his spiritual energy to sense the conversation between the two.
The original body did not leave at the beginning. Duan Mingzhu wanted to be with Tong Li, but she kept saying that she was not destroying her family, but coming to join them.
Now she is forcing Tong Li to marry her as his principal wife, probably because she was poisoned by the love flower.
If you can't have love, you must have status.
That's why she set her sights on the original body's position as wife.
This is actually Su Li’s purpose.
Didn’t the original body want her two children to see her true face, Duan Mingzhu?
Then let them see how far Duan Mingzhu will go for the position of the legitimate wife!
Three days later.
Someone from the Grand Secretary's Mansion was sent to ask Su Li to bring Tong Yong and Tong Lin to visit.
Su Li probably guessed that it was Tong Li's letter from home.
Sure enough, after lunch, she was called into the study by Ge's father.
"Yan'er, why did you come back from the border town for no reason? You even brought back all your dowry and servants!" Father Ge kindly gestured for Su Li to sit in front of him.
"Father, I came back this time to avoid danger!" Su Li said bluntly.
“What is hedging?”
The Grand Secretary was confused. "If you're talking about danger, the turmoil in the capital has just ended. It might be more dangerous."
Others may not know what is happening in the palace, but he knows it clearly.
The new emperor has been keeping a low profile and has never revealed his intentions.
It was not until the ministers found the late emperor's will appointing him as the new emperor that he began to shine.
However, all the sons of the previous emperor were outstanding, and the brothers of the new emperor are still in the northwestern border.
He is a man of all talents, both civil and military, with an army of 300,000 men at his command. He should not be underestimated.
