Chapter 124 The used chess piece
He had fulfilled the responsibilities he had promised her and also kept his promise not to take a concubine. If she had not been greedy, she could have lived a peaceful life as Mrs. Fang San.
He still had An Qingya in his heart and never thought of letting her in.
But how could she be content?
In the following five years, although Fang Chengwei spent most of his time at the border, he would occasionally return to the capital for a short stay.
Chen Sirong wanted to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between the two, thinking that everything would be fine as long as she gave birth to a child belonging to him, but he still firmly refused to touch her, so how could she have a child?
Later she discovered that the men in Pingnan General's Mansion seemed infertile.
The old general had no news since the birth of his three sons. The eldest son had been married for many years and only had one daughter, Fang Yichen, who was pregnant in the year of her marriage. There was no news of her since then until she died in battle more than ten years ago.
The second son has been married for nearly twenty years and has no children.
She and Fang Chengwei had never been together, but if what she expected was correct, they would not have had children even if they had been together.
She thought that there was something wrong with her roots after years of fighting with men. Perhaps Fang Chengwei didn't touch her not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
With this idea in mind, she kept seeking medical advice in secret until Song Muxue brought Doctor Deng over.
She held on to the hope that Dr. Deng could cure Fang Chengwei's "inability" and then ask Dr. Deng for medicine so that they could become a real couple. However, she never expected that what she encountered was just miasma.
So he really didn't want to touch her, and he never wavered in the past ten years.
This also made Chen Sirong completely evil, and she got together with her cousin Xu Hua, who had always loved her.
The old general's men caught the two of them red-handed, and Xu Hua honestly confessed that he had replaced An Qingya's medicine and poisoned her, and that he had concealed the fact that the male of the Fang family had been poisoned by malaria.
Xu Hua was executed, and Chen Sirong, who had an affair with him, was divorced.
Song Yunxi was completely surprised that her diagnosis and treatment would lead to such a result.
I don't know whether to say that evil will be punished, or that God has blessed the Fang family and eliminated all the hidden dangers that will lead to their destruction in the future.
Song Yunxi was filled with sorrow.
Chen Sirong repaid kindness with enmity and destroyed the happiness of her savior. Her scheming failed to get the love she wanted. I wonder if she has ever regretted it in the past ten years?
If Chen Sirong had not been so paranoid at the beginning, although Song Yunxi could not be sure whether she was happy, she would definitely be more contented and happy than she is now.
People should not dream of getting what does not belong to them, nor should they covet what belongs to others.
The old general's patience with Chen Sirong had obviously reached its limit, especially after he learned that she had teamed up with Xu Hua to steal and sell the general's Chinese medicinal materials and embezzle money, he could no longer tolerate it.
But what made him even more intolerable was that she actually plotted against An Qingya again.
The child lost everything before she got married because of her scheme. Even though the cancellation of the engagement was not her fault, her reputation as a woman was still damaged uncontrollably, and she became the laughing stock of the capital's gossip.
She was so disheartened that she rejected all the suitors. From then on, she concentrated on studying and teaching at the girls' school, never leaving the house, and lived a life like a monk with a green lamp.
The child's life was ruined by her, and she was so shameless as to plot and slander him, which also wiped out the last bit of affection from the old general.
The old general's dignified and resolute face showed murderous intent: "Divorcing her was the biggest concession to her. Since she doesn't cherish you, don't blame our Fang family for being ruthless!"
[Why do I feel that Chen Sirong is a little strange? It seems that everything she does is aimed at the Pingnan General's Mansion. All the coincidences are too coincidental! ]
The Fang family members were a little puzzled: What's wrong with coincidence?
[The incident of her encountering bandits ten years ago was quite strange. The temple where Chen Sirong went to burn incense was in Lin'an County, which was outside the capital and closest to the capital.]
Old General Pingnan was curious, what was the problem?
[If I remember correctly, the county annals of Lin'an County recorded that eleven years ago, mountain bandits massacred the village and caused chaos, threatening the capital, so the court sent troops to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion. The general who led the troops to suppress the bandits was General Zhenyuan, and the young Ye Xuanqi also went with the army.]
[General Zhenyuan had completely eradicated the bandits' den, and was just short of exterminating their entire clan. So who can explain to me where the bandits that Chen Sirong encountered came from just one year later? ]
During the half year she spent hiding her talents in the mansion of Marquis Wenyuan after her rebirth, she read through all the county chronicles of the Jin'an Dynasty in order to prepare for a rainy day.
The old general Pingnan was shocked. After thinking carefully, he realized that this was indeed the case.
Just as Song Yunxi wondered, how did Chen Sirong encounter the bandits?
Fang Chengwei already had a premonition that he had been plotted against since ten years ago!
But who was it that was plotting against him? He actually spent ten years to plan it.
The most important thing is what the other party's purpose is? Is it just to destroy his marriage?
He didn't believe in spending a lot of energy and time just for this.
There seemed to be a haze hanging over the Fang family's heads. They all saw a conspiracy against the Pingnan General's Mansion, but they knew nothing about it.
[But how can I remind them? I don't want them to be schemed against, but I don't want to be treated as a monster either. What should I do? ]
It seemed as if God had heard the powerless lament in her heart, and Ye Xuanqi spoke up at the right time as her strongest voice.
"I remember going to Lin'an County with General Zhennan eleven years ago to suppress bandits. Since then, there has been no banditry in Lin'an County. Therefore, it is impossible for the Chen family to encounter bandits in Lin'an County ten years ago."
He became suspicious of Chen Sirong because he remembered what happened in the past, but Song Yunxi discovered the key just by looking at the details. Her sharpness and meticulousness were indeed beyond his reach.
The murderous look in the old general's eyes became even stronger: "It seems necessary to interrogate Chen."
[Old General, I am not trying to excuse Chen Sirong. She was just a pawn being used and had no idea what was going on.]
And Ye Xuanqi's investigation results were indeed true.
The investigation results that Ye Xuanqi said made everyone in the Fang family break out in a cold sweat.
Everything was done by Chen Sirong's mother, and her mother was a descendant of the Wei family of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, the ultimate goal of instigating Chen Sirong and helping her to marry Fang Chengwei at all costs was to disintegrate the Fang family and even the Pingnan Army from within.
Ye Xuanqi said to the old general: "I have already taken control of the person. If the old general wants to interrogate him personally, I can arrange it at any time."
"No need."
The old general still trusted Ye Xuanqi: "I believe the prince has found out everything that needs to be said. Let the emperor decide on the person!"
[So they were from the Wei family of the previous dynasty. No wonder they instigated Chen Sirong in their previous life to cause chaos in the General Pingnan's mansion, resulting in the massacre of the entire family.]
[Marrying a wife like this is a disaster from within. If it were an ordinary family, all nine clans would be slaughtered. ]
