The God of War is killing like crazy

Chapter 157 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 17

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't want anything. My sister has just recovered from a serious illness. I just want to ask Your Majesty for a few days' leave. Please allow me to go home and take care of my sister."

The emperor naturally allowed Gu Chengyuan to rest for a while.

After settling the army, handing over the duties, and leaving the military camp, it was already late at night.

The night in late autumn was very cold. Gu Chengyuan was walking on the way back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The servant beside him couldn't help sneezing. Gu Chengyuan also felt the cold. Just like his memories in his previous life, this year's autumn has been particularly colder than in previous years, and the winter is even more bone-chillingly cold.

Fortunately, this time because he had the memory of his previous life, he saw through Hong Yanshan's tricks many times, quickly won the battle, and returned with his army before winter.

It was winter in his previous life, and he led his soldiers in a bitter battle with the Yu army in the northern border. After several days, the soldiers' cotton clothes were not enough, and the cold weather made things even worse. Many soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but froze to death in the cold night in the northern border.

He wrote to his family at the time and mentioned this matter, hoping that his father would inform the emperor and send more cotton-padded clothes. He had mentioned this matter many times when he sent urgent war reports to the emperor, but the emergency cotton-padded clothes were not delivered.

Instead, a batch of cotton clothes were sent over in the name of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it at least saved the lives of some soldiers and enabled them to hold on until supplies arrived from the court.

At that time, he thought that these cotton-padded clothes were bought by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but later he found out that A Yao actually bought them himself and had them shipped here.

At that time, her mother withheld all of her monthly salary and did not give her a penny. These cotton-padded clothes were bought with all of A Yao's savings and shipped to northern Xinjiang.

Just because she heard herself say in a letter home that it was bitterly cold in northern Xinjiang and that the soldiers were freezing, she spent all her money without any hesitation.

Gu Chengyuan felt uncomfortable again. His A Yao was so good, and he thought that Hong Yanshan was brave and resourceful for using tricks to harm his Great Zhou soldiers and using this as a condition to ask him to meet alone.

Gu Chengyuan felt nauseous when he thought about how he had been deceived by her appearance and had fallen in love with that kind of woman.

I was so stupid in my previous life. That woman was just using me to help her climb to the throne of Yu Kingdom.

Gu Chengyuan was still thinking about the past when he found that the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had appeared in front of him. He suppressed his annoyance, adjusted his mood, and ran towards Si Ying's yard.

Si Ying did not rest at this moment. Firstly, she knew Gu Chengyuan would definitely come, and secondly, the Duke of Zhenguo coaxed her into drinking several bowls of old chicken and ginseng soup, and now she was so full that she could not sleep at all.

But I have to admit that this chicken soup is absolutely amazing and it tastes so good.

Tuan Tuan, who had been drinking crazily because no one could see him, was now burping with his round belly.

"Sir, this soup~hiccup~ is so delicious~ you should hiccup~ make more so we~hiccup~ can take it back and enjoy it slowly later~hiccup"

Tuantuan finished speaking with difficulty and began to smack his lips in savoring the taste.

Si Ying was just about to laugh at it for wanting to drink the ginseng chicken soup even though its belly was swollen like a ball, when she saw the maid outside coming to report, "Miss San, the eldest master is back."

Si Ying opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she accidentally burped.

She...shouldn't have laughed at Tuantuan.

Gu Chengyuan walked in from outside, saw Si Ying with a ruddy face, and smiled, "Ayao, how are you today? Why haven't you rested yet so late?"

He thought A Yao would say she was waiting for him to come back, just like his sister Gu Xinting. But he saw his sister in front of him, burping again, and then said sullenly that she drank too much ginseng soup in the evening.

Looking at his cute and adorable sister, Gu Chengyuan thought that his A Yao was indeed the most innocent and lovely girl in the world.

Then he simply washed up and continued to sleep on the soft couch in Si Ying's room.

Gu Chengyuan has been sleeping here for the past few days. Si Ying initially agreed reluctantly because he was worried about the original owner. But now she gives him pills and nourishing soup from the kitchen every day, and she has made the original owner's body healthy again. He is even a little fatter than before, but Gu Chengyuan still stays here at night, and she wants to kick him out.

But it was late today, so she planned to have a good talk with Gu Chengyuan tomorrow and let him go back to his own yard to sleep.

The next day, before Si Ying told Gu Chengyuan about this, someone did it for her. Naturally, it was the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo who had been holding her anger for a long time.

When Si Ying left and the original owner fell asleep, she was so happy that she wished the original owner would die soon.

She and her daughter Gu Xinting hid in the room and cursed happily. She felt that Si Ying was a vixen who took away all the attention from her husband and son when she came, causing the Duke of Zhenguo to quarrel with her several times.

Of course, she automatically ignored the real reason for the quarrel, which was because the Duke of Zhenguo discovered that she not only withheld Si Ying's monthly salary, but even had the kitchen prepare meals for Si Ying that were not as good as those prepared by the servants in the mansion.

Si Ying deliberately let the Duke of Zhenguo discover the true vicious face of his wife. These were all suffered by the original owner in the previous life, and the Duke of Zhenguo must know it. Si Ying gradually uncovered the disguise of the Duke of Zhenguo's wife for many years, revealing her original vicious and mean face.

Compared to beating up the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, the best revenge on her would be to expose her years of disguise in front of the Duke of Zhenguo, whom she least wants to know.

After the youngest daughter Liu Muyao of the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly fell into a coma, he felt that it was all because the Duke's wife did not treat the daughter of an old friend well, which led to her being weak and sickly, and now she was in a serious coma.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Zhenguo finally exploded. When the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo tried to stop the doctor from seeing Liu Muyao, he slapped her hard and put her under house arrest. No matter how his daughter Gu Xinting pleaded, it was of no use. He was determined to teach his hypocritical wife a lesson.

So the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was imprisoned until Gu Chengyuan came back. Gu Xinting went to ask her eldest brother for help, and she was released, but Gu Chengyuan also asked her to apologize to Liu Muyao.

And all the money and other benefits that Yao'er deserved as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion were given to her. So after Si Ying woke up, the Duke's wife felt aggrieved and apologized to Si Ying in front of the maids and old women in the mansion, but she was completely embarrassed.

Especially since Si Ying showed magnanimity and forgave her, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that she wanted to poison Si Ying to death. Of course, she didn't dare to do that. Now the Duke of Zhenguo had already alienated herself from her. If she continued to behave like that, both the father and son would probably be fed up with her.

She knew that what the Duke of Zhenguo and his son hated most were people who schemed behind their backs, so she tolerated the Duke of Zhenguo and Gu Chengyuan taking care of Si Ying during this period.

He also advised Gu Xinting, who was also angry that Si Ying had taken away the care of her father and brother, to be patient and wait for an opportunity to get rid of Si Ying in the future.

Then, the mother and daughter have been enduring until now. Gu Chengyuan still lives in Si Ying's room to take care of her. The servants in the mansion secretly spread the word that the eldest young master is very fond of the third young lady who came back later. When the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo heard about it, she could no longer sit still.

To outsiders, Gu Chengyuan loves his sister, but Lady Zhenguo knows that after all, Liu Muyao is not her biological daughter. If this continues, she is really afraid that her son will fall in love with that vixen from the country, and she cannot allow this vixen to become her daughter-in-law.

Then she would be so angry that she would die.

After all, she had been holding back all this time just to find a chance for revenge, and then use the opportunity to marry this country girl off to a low-class family and be done with it.

So she was determined not to let her son Gu Chengyuan continue to spend the night in Si Ying's room, for fear that the two would fall in love.
