Chapter 469 Portrait
There was silence all around, and we looked at Zhou Hong with a calm and open eyes.
After a long silence, Zhou Hong asked, "Does Aqi know about this?"
Qi Wei smiled: "There is no secret between me and Aqi. I have told her about this matter a long time ago. Some things, I will listen to them, and she will know them from others, which is better."
Zhou Hong nodded and said, "It's good that she knows."
After saying that, his eyebrows flicked again and asked, "What do you mean by saying these to me? You and Aqi have married. Could it be that I can still make you unable to live with me because of these rumors?"
Qi Wei smiled: "Although I am not familiar with Chai Jing, I am not afraid of you to make fun of you. At that time, I was only fourteen years old and I didn't see many young women, so I will inevitably be impressed."
Zhou Hong narrowed his eyes: "You just said that you have a portrait of Princess Golden Ring at home? Where is the portrait? Is it still there?"
Qi Wei shook his head: "That portrait has long been destroyed."
The portrait was originally intended to be returned to Prince Fu's mansion, but later Princess Fu brought her daughter to Beijing. The old Duke's wife felt that if she returned it at this time, she would have wiped out Princess Fu's face, and it would be better to pretend that there was nothing.
Later, he was about to go to war. Shi believed the rumors outside and somehow knew the existence of the portrait. Qi Wei burned the portrait in front of Shi. Shi still didn't believe Qi Wei's words, and believed that he and Chai Jing had a private lesson before, but had no choice but to marry her later. He even believed that Qi Wei was going to save Princess Jinhuan back. Qi Wei was young and impulsive at that time, and then quarreled with Shi and left, but he didn't expect that that time would be a farewell forever.
It was not until many years later that Qi Wei realized that Shi was being instigated by someone behind his back.
Hearing that the portrait had been destroyed, Zhou Hong was silent again. Qi Wei poured him a cup of tea. Zhou Hong took a sip and suddenly asked, "You have been talking for a long time just to say that A Ruan looks like that Golden Ring Princess, right?"
Seeing that he was finally willing to face this problem, Qi Wei breathed a little relieved and asked, "I actually knew about it a long time ago, didn't I?"
Zhou Hong smiled bitterly: "I am not a god, so how could I know? I guessed it, but I wasn't sure."
He and A Ruan are husband and wife. He heard A Ruan scream in his dream more than once: Let me go, let me go, Chai Shu, you bitch!
The first time, he didn't hear that name clearly.
Later, he mistakenly thought it was Uncle Chai, and he didn't know whether the character Chai was a name or a surname. If it was a name, it would be fine, but if it was a surname, the first thing he thought of was today.
A Ruan did not dare to return to Pingcheng, so he always suspected that A Ruan was from Pingcheng, and there happened to be a royal family named Chai living in Pingcheng.
Later, by chance, he learned that in addition to Princess Jinhuan, King Fu also had a daughter, who was named Princess Rongcheng, and the princess's boudoir name was Chai Shu.
A Ruan once said that she was harmed by her own sister.
With these messages, if Zhou Hong still didn't suspect Chai Jing, he would be a fool.
He also thought about testing A Ruan, such as finding some secret medicines from the world to use them secretly on A Ruan, and making a statement while she was dizzy and tempted.
But in the end he did not take action, not only because he was worried that the medicine would aggravate Ah Ruan's condition, but also another important reason.
He was scared!
He was afraid that Ah Ruan was really the Princess of Golden Rings, the concubine who was far away from the Tartars.
He would rather believe that A Ruan was an orphan who was abducted by a child, and had no support and had a secret disease.
Zhou Dada was able to find a doctor who treated this disease, but could Zhou Hong not find it?
If he wants to go to the doctor, I can find out that Dr. Zhu is very famous.
But over the years, he has done nothing. He dared not. He dared not let the doctor treat A Ruan. He dared not let outsiders contact A Ruan. He was worried that A Ruan's true identity would be exposed. For this reason, he even spent a lot of money to ask someone to secretly leave the custody and inquire about the information about the concubine.
But today, at this moment, Qi Wei unreservedly pierced the window paper and placed everything he had hidden for many years on the table.
"It is said that the concubine is still fine. She remarried once, lived a good life and gave birth to a child." Zhou Hong said.
Qi Wei said, "I have to allow me to investigate this matter again. I just think that Mrs. Zun and Chai Jing are very similar, and I don't know the others at all."
Qi Wei himself didn't know, but he could feel from Zhou Hong's performance that Zhou Hong must know a lot of things. A couple can't hide it just by trying to hide it.
This is also one of the reasons why he confessed to Li Qiniang in everything.
Li Qiniang did not participate in his past, but he wanted to tell her that in the years when she had not appeared in front of him, he had done, gained, and lost.
Zhou Hong lowered his head and said nothing. After a long time, he said a few words: "If she is really that person, how are you going to do?"
Qi Wei smiled and said, "I have discussed with Aqi for a long time. After my sister-in-law comes to the capital, I will find a way to get her a background and a stern and open-minded one. Today I accidentally met my sister-in-law, and my thoughts have not changed yet."
Zhou Hong suddenly raised his head and asked, "You won't tell others?"
Qi Wei did not answer directly, but said: "It depends on whether the uncle meets his sister-in-law's wife, is it true or someone deliberately arranged it."
If it is true, it is a coincidence. If someone makes a decision on purpose, it is a conspiracy.
Qi Wei was already very clear about it, how could Zhou Hong not hear it?
"It's definitely not someone's arrangement. At that time, I was just a slut. She cut me off. Did someone arrange it? And it happened three years later when I met her again. Besides, the reason I went to that mining village was not because of her, but to find Xiaomei and her mother.
I really met her by accident. At that time, I didn't want to be with her. I even thought of her as a burden. It was not until after getting along for a long time that I became a husband and wife with her. Although she had never cared about Wan Qian and Xiaobai, they were all born from her belly. They were my children. What conspiracy would make a woman take twenty years to implement, have children, have to get sick, and go crazy?"
Zhou Hong hugged his head in distress, suddenly let go, and looked at Qi Wei with his eyes curled up: "Brother-in-law, Duke, just pretend you didn't see anything today, don't check it anymore, okay? I'll beg you, can you?"
Qi Wei was stunned, and the gentleness on his face disappeared without a trace.
He stood up with a serious expression: "You should be glad that I saw my sister-in-law today, and I can still discuss this matter with you calmly. You should be even more glad that you recognized Aqi, the sister before today.
Zhou Hong, the Zhou family is not only you and your husband, but also your children, your two sisters, and the ancestors of your Zhou family!”
