Chapter 246 "The Truth"
After listening to Zuo Ruchan's words, Zhong Ning unconsciously recalled every detail of coming here.
She did notice something was wrong, such as why Gu Sheng could come in and out at will, and that "Master of the State" seemed to respect him quite a bit.
Not only that, whenever she asked about the past period of time, Gu Sheng was always vague, which made her not know what happened after Gu Sheng's accident, and he seemed to have no idea what happened in the capital. Concerned, never once asked about the Escort.
Before, these doubts only vaguely appeared in Zhong Ning's mind. When she thought that the person was Gu Sheng, she subconsciously ignored them.
At this time, after Zuo Ruchan's point, those indistinct things from the past suddenly popped up, and became tangible evidence to prove Zuo Ruchan's words.
Her body trembled, she stared at Zuo Ruchan and said.
"No…impossible."
Zuo Ruchan's smile widened and she approached Zhong Ning.
"Brother Gu Sheng has returned to Xiliang now, and his identity is different from before. He needs to avoid people's eyes and ears. It's right not to tell you."
Speaking of this, she paused, pretending to be generous.
"But don't worry, I heard from Brother Gu Sheng that although your identity is not innocent, there is no big problem.
You have served Qi Xiao, but you are a widow and have nowhere to go. "
Zuo Ruchan walked up to Zhong Ning, raised her hand to brush the broken hair from her forehead behind her ears, and lowered her voice, as if speaking very kindly.
"Don't worry, I'm not a jealous person. When I pass through the door, I will bring you a good concubine and let you have a place to live."
A series of blows had already defeated Zhong Ning, and it was not easy to say, she raised her eyes to Zuo Ruchan, her eyes were confused.
"What kind of trick, could it be you..."
Qi Xiao and I had a marriage contract three years ago, and now of course it has to be fulfilled. Today Qi Xiao's parents have come, and they are discussing the marriage with my brother in the front hall. "
Zuo Ruchan spoke bluntly, and made up her mind to make Zhong Ning give up. After she finished speaking, seeing Zhong Ning's precarious appearance, she pursued the victory.
"Did he rest in your room last night? That's okay, it saves you the trouble of finding a maid for him.
Besides, you have been married before, so you must be very skilled in bed. Since you have helped Qi Xiao through the personnel affairs, it will save him from being reckless on his wedding night. "
Even when the Earl's Mansion was in decline, Zhong Ning was still a big lady. When was she ever subjected to such humiliation, and she even had **** with a maid? Could it be that's how Gu Sheng saw her?
Zuo Ruchan achieved his goal, saw that Zhong Ning had been beaten badly, and left with a smile.
Zhong Ning stood in place for a long time, pursed his dry lips, then entered the inner room, and sat in front of the dressing table.
Her mind was in a mess and she felt like she was dreaming.
Zhong Ning moved his eyes to the bronze mirror, looked at his pale face, and suddenly cheered up.
No, she has to go to Gu Sheng to ask for clarification.
But before Zhong Ning got up, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a letter in the gap of the dressing table.
Normally, she wouldn't touch anything that wasn't hers, but at this time, Zhong Ning picked up the letter by mistake.
When she saw the content of the letter, she felt like a bolt from the blue.
The letter recorded her past in detail, from when she married to the capital, what she did, where she went, everything in detail.
Who is investigating her? The answer is self-evident.
Zhong Ning's hand holding the letter trembled. The next second, she stood up suddenly, and walked out with the letter.
