The general's wife took her child on the road to exile

Chapter 257 The greedy wife of the Minister of War.

After the banquet...

Duke Xibo returned to the main house to rest, and Liang Jiushan was led by servants to the guest room in Zhuyuan.

A half-moon hangs high in the starry sky, and many twinkling stars dot the dark blue sky.

A cool breeze rustles the bamboo leaves in the bamboo garden, and the sound of insects chirping along with the sound of bamboo wind is like the sound of nature, lulling people into a dream...

Living next door to the Xiao Mansion is Meng Yunjiao, the Minister of War. He is a supporter of the new emperor. Since Qilian Bai took power, Minister Meng's power has been growing.

Mrs. Meng was a little arrogant for a while, and she began to secretly accumulate wealth. Two thousand taels of silver could buy her a centurion, fifty thousand taels could make her an assistant to the deputy general, and one hundred taels could directly make her the deputy general of Donghuang.

When Madam Meng was counting the silver until her hands were tired, this matter was secretly reported to Marshal Gu.

Gu Yiheng sent his men to find out that the wife of the Minister had handled nearly three million taels of silver. It was said that she also bought a large house with five courtyards for her private lover.

This stupid lady has caused so much trouble for Minister Meng. It's a pity that he thinks he is honest and upright... an upright Minister.

Minister Meng's only son is named Meng Zichu. He has been unable to walk since he was a child and has always been in a wheelchair. Meng Zichu is only nineteen years old. He wears white clothes all day long. Meng Zichu has delicate features and his narrow eyes sparkle with a faint blue light.

Mrs. Meng's grandmother was from the foreign country of Wanyue. None of the children she gave birth to looked like her. Meng Zichu was the only one among these children who looked like her grandmother.

Mrs. Meng was rather spoiled when she was young. After she got married, she was quite devoted to taking care of her husband and children. Later, as Meng Yunjiao's official position became higher and higher, Mrs. Meng gradually became arrogant.

The demon in her heart had unknowingly grown to a terrifying size.

At three quarters past midnight... Marshal Gu's secret guard Xiu Qi came to Madam Meng's room. He knocked her unconscious and began to search her account book.

Every amount of bribes received by Mrs. Meng was recorded in a leather-bound book wrapped in blue satin, and her small account book was kept in a secret compartment beside her bed.

Half an hour later, Xiu Qi climbed over the high wall of the Meng Mansion and returned to the carriage of the Marshal's Mansion. Xiu Qi found the account book and the 300,000 taels of silver notes that had not been saved.

The candlelight in the Gu Mansion's study was bright. Marshal Gu Yiheng flipped through Madam Meng's small account book page by page, his face stained with a hint of anger...

With a "bang", the account book fell onto the carved rosewood table. Marshal Gu was furious, and he was holding a wolf-hair brush in his fingertips.

Gu Yiheng's fiery eyes were filled with anger. He thought for a while, wrote a few letters and sent them away with secret guards.

Ye Jiu walked in from outside, and she hadn't had time to change out of her night clothes.

Seeing that her husband was angry, Ye Jiu guessed that someone in the imperial capital had done something too ugly, and this behavior had angered her good husband.

Ye Jiu took out a cup of spiritual tea from the space and handed it to Gu Yiheng. She said:

"Husband, come and have a cup of tea to moisten your throat. We can think about the troubles in the court later..."

The teacup was filled with spiritual energy... The aroma of tea was lingering. Gu Yiheng reached out to take the tea and took a sip. He looked at his wife's cold and elegant face and suddenly smiled.

In front of his wife, Gu Yiheng looked at Ye Jiu with gentle and affectionate eyes, and he was still thinking in his mind how to deal with Madam Meng, the big rat.

Ye Jiu casually took out the roasted spirit deer meat from the space and handed it to Gu Yiheng for him to taste.

Gu Yiheng took over three large skewers of barbecued meat, which together weighed almost three pounds of meat.

He ate politely and quickly. Sitting there, Ye Jiu suddenly felt that her husband had always had the temperament of a civil servant. No one would regard him as a fierce general on the battlefield.

Ye Jiu gradually felt sleepy while sitting in the chair, and she fell asleep in almost three breaths.
