Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Chapter 175: The general was drugged and bullied.

Chu Xiaohuan watched Wang Cheng leave and angrily lowered the curtain.

However, after sitting in the carriage for only a short while, he began to feel dizzy.

"Qingzhu, open the curtain."

Qingzhu didn't understand, but she did as she was told.

He stared silently at Chu Xiaohuan's stomach. Was there really a child inside?

How come he knows nothing? How old is this child? Whose child is it?

Qingzhu wanted to ask, but she was ultimately just a servant and had no right to interfere in her master's affairs.

However, his curious gaze never left Chu Xiaohuan's stomach.

"Ok?"

Chu Xiaohuan raised his voice, carrying a hint of warning.

Qingzhu quickly looked away, pouting in grievance.

What? He's not looking at you, he's just looking at the baby in your belly.

Chu Xiaohuan breathed in the fresh air and felt much better. He glanced at the pastries on the table and wanted to pick one up to try.

I put it to my lips, but the smell made me want to vomit, so I had to put it down.

Qingzhu noticed that the general hadn't eaten much these past two days. Although he didn't usually eat much, he finished the meal that Lady Li brought him that day.

When he cleaned up, there was only an empty bowl left.

Chu Xiaohuan calmed down and then lay down to rest.

After thinking for a moment, Qingzhu poked her head out of the carriage and waved to Wang Cheng.

As soon as Wang Cheng rode his horse to the carriage, Qingzhu whispered to him, "The general is asleep. I want to know if Lady Li is there on our way to Luocheng?"

Wang Cheng nodded in confusion. What does this have to do with Li Mei?

"Well," Qingzhu turned around and looked at Chu Xiaohuan, who was still fast asleep, and said softly, "Could you ask Madam Li to cook something for the general? He hasn't been eating much lately."

Qingzhu hesitated to say it, after all, who would ask a woman to cook for a completely unrelated outsider for no reason?

Wang Cheng had naturally noticed Chu Xiaohuan's pale face, but this was a necessary process during pregnancy.

But Li Mei...

Chu Xiaohuan didn't want Li Mo'er to know about his past, but oh well, she'd better just shamelessly ask Li Mei for "food" herself.

Wang Cheng frowned and agreed. Seeing that Wang Cheng could agree to this, Qingzhu wondered if he could also ask about the child.

Qingzhu glanced back guiltily again, lowering her voice once more.

"The child in the general's belly is..."

Before Qingzhu could finish speaking, Wang Cheng pulled on the reins, turned his horse around, and went back.

Qingzhu scratched her head and muttered softly, "Manager Wang clearly knew, so why didn't he tell me?"

Just as Qingzhu was about to sit down, she saw Wang Cheng riding back on horseback.

He immediately peeked out excitedly, thinking that Wang Cheng was going to tell him about the child.

"Take good care of your employer, and don't ask anything else."

Wang Cheng's voice was full of authority, especially since she deliberately lowered her voice.

Qingzhu's excited smile froze on her face. She sullenly sat back in the carriage and obediently stayed by Chu Xiaohuan's side.

A series of names flashed through his mind, but in the end, he realized none of them were the child's mother.

"But the general came into contact with these women in Kyoto, if it weren't for..."

Qingzhu's eyes flashed, "That must be Madam Li."

However, he quickly shook his head, "That's definitely not the case. When Lady Li left, the general didn't even come out to see her off."

After much thought, Qingzhu could only come to one conclusion: the general had been drugged and bullied.

He looked at the sleeping Chu Xiaohuan and covered him with a blanket. "General, you are so strong. You didn't say a word even when you were bullied. It's so pitiful."

He silently vowed in his heart that he would take better care of Chu Xiaohuan in the future.

After listening to Qingzhu's words, Wang Cheng pondered how to get Li Mo'er to personally cook a meal for her.

She stood up and looked ahead. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be able to arrive in Luocheng early the day after tomorrow. She needed to find a way to persuade Li Mo'er as soon as possible.
