Chapter 171 Her Identity
A fast horse entered from the east gate of the Imperial Capital, walked all the way through the long street, and finally stopped at the gate of Jin Mansion.
Jin Mu has been a native of Dijing since he was a child. He later followed the general to garrison at the border, and then settled down in the border town.
I just took over my elderly parents last year, and now there are only a few old servants guarding the old house in Imperial Capital.
After he returned to the Imperial Capital yesterday, a few friends invited him for a drink, and he drank until midnight before going back to his room to sleep.
It seemed that not long after he lay down, the old servant knocked on his door eagerly.
Kaneki stood up tired from the hangover, put on his clothes and opened the door.
"What happened?"
The old servant was not ignorant. He knew that he was drunk last night, but he still knocked on the door. He thought he had something important to do.
The old servant hunched over his back and said, "There is a messenger at the door, saying that the investigation you asked for has been settled. He said that the messenger said that this letter is extremely urgent and must be delivered to you as quickly as possible. ”
What he told me?
Jin Mu looked calm and then strode out the door.
He took the letter from the messenger and immediately opened it and read it.
The messenger and the old servant stood aside, not knowing what was written in the letter, but they saw Jin Mu's face suddenly change, and even his body swayed.
Kaneki: "Cao!"
He cursed the quintessence of Chinese culture, and without even bothering to fasten his belt, he grabbed the messenger's horse and jumped on.
"Lend me your horse!"
The messenger officer and the old servant looked at each other with heavy expressions on their faces.
Old servant: "It must be that something big happened at the border, which made Captain Jin become so anxious."
The messenger shook his head and said, "Probably not. If there is a military situation at the border, it is an urgent matter and it will not be my turn to deliver the letter."
The old servant nodded, "That's right."
No one came to answer their doubts, but that didn't matter.
The old servant welcomed the messenger officer into the mansion to rest.

At this end, Jin Mu almost broke his riding whip before he rushed to the general's mansion.
The boy guarding the gate recognized him and knew that he was the captain beside the general. He smiled and was about to go up to say hello.
However, Jin Mu passed him and walked straight in. As he walked, he asked: "Where are the generals? I have something important."
The boy was startled and quickly answered.
"The general just returned home yesterday and stayed in the main courtyard."
Jin Mu looked solemn and said, "Lead the way."
The boy nodded obediently and immediately led him to the main courtyard smoothly.
In the yard, two maids were drying the sheets. An old woman was walking into the kitchen carrying a dustpan filled with medicinal herbs. Several other little maids were cleaning and boiling water.
Everyone's face was filled with a smile of joy.
Kaneki walked into the courtyard and frowned.
The old grandma put down the medicinal materials and saw Jin Mu as soon as she went out. Seeing that he was still walking in, she stopped in front of him with three steps at a time.
"Captain Jin, you can't go any further. The general and his wife haven't gotten up yet."
Jin Mu paused, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
He pursed his lips, and his hand holding the letter tightened unconsciously.
"Can I please inform you that I have something urgent to see the general?"
The old grandma looked back at the closed door, hesitated, and asked: "But there is important military information?"
Kaneki shook his head. The old mama breathed a sigh of relief, "If it's not an important military situation, please ask Lieutenant Jin to wait a moment. As you know, when the general and his wife just got married, they were transferred to guard the border for three years. Now, they are still This is my first time staying in my wife’s house.”
The old grandma tried her best to persuade her, "A general who is loyal to the country is a great hero. Our wife has been alone in the boudoir for many years, so why is it not hard? Do you think this is true?"
Kaneki's lips moved and he responded in a rough voice.
Seeing that he was reasonable, the old mama said again: "We all think about the general and his wife, so if this is not a last resort, let the young couple rest for a while, okay?"
It's all about talking about this, how can Jin Mu not say it right?
What's more, the general's wife is the right wife that the matchmaker is marrying, and she is a woman who can stand by the general's side as a matter of course.
Although Jin Mu was stunned, he was by no means stupid.
How could he not understand these principles?
But people's hearts are all made of flesh. He lowered his head and glanced at the urgent letter with red paint, his eyes gradually darkened.
*
The old grandma made Jin Mu a pot of hot tea and gave him some snacks to go with the tea.
Jin Mu sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and waited for more than half an hour before the master bedroom door opened.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The person who walked out of the room was Shen Yu, who opened his outer robe, revealing the moon-white inner garment.
His face was abnormally white, and he looked exhausted, and there was a hint of scarlet in his eyes.
When the busy people in the courtyard saw him, they kept their secrets secret and were sincerely happy for their wives.
Shen Yu said calmly: "Madam is still sleeping, so don't call her. Boil the hot water and wait for Madam to wake up before bringing it in."
"Yes!"
The old grandma nodded happily and directed the two little maids to prepare.
Shen Yu said nothing with a expression on his face, holding one hand on the door handle, as if he was ready to close the door again and go back into the house.
Kaneki saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and a feeling of irritability grew in his heart.
He hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and called out.
"General."
Shen Yu seemed to have noticed Jin Mu in the pavilion just now. He was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be uninterested in anything and spoke weakly.
"What's the matter?"
Jin Mu strode out of the pavilion, glanced at the people around him, and said bravely: "General, please lend me a moment to speak."
In the peripheral vision, two old ladies frowned and curled their lips in dissatisfaction. Jin Mu couldn't see them.
Shen Yu responded, then tied up his belt and went out, "Let's talk in the study."
*
In the study room, after Jin Mu handed the letter to Shen Yu, he didn't even dare to express his anger.
He carefully observed Shen Yu's expression, but to his surprise, the general's reaction was not as intense as he expected, but instead...
On the contrary, there is a feeling of despair?
Jin Mu's throat rolled, and he whispered: "General, it turns out that Miss Xiaowan is your concubine. She originally followed the general's wife to serve you at the border. You...why are you not surprised?"
Shen Yu raised his eyes coldly and stared at him sharply, but said nothing.
Jin Mu was frightened by his gaze and his heart skipped a beat, "Could it be possible... you have already seen it in the mansion?"
Shen Yu's silence seemed to confirm something.
Jin Mu slapped his forehead suddenly, and said with trembling lips: "It's over, Miss Xiaowan has such a temper, if she knew that you had so many women, she would definitely not give up!"
After a pause, Jin Mu raised his head and asked: "How did Miss Xiaowan react? Did she make trouble with you? She...she wouldn't fight with you, right?"
Other women can't do it, but if it were Wenwan, she would be able to do it.
