Chapter 237 Tan You

Gu Jinzhi is far less alert to the environment than Zhu Zhongjun.

She doesn't like it by nature.

Even if she had the intention to fight for power and gain in her heart, she was forced to do so; Zhu Zhongjun was born to do so.

She didn't notice anything strange about the people on the street corner.

But on the way back, Zhu Zhongjun was horribly silent, his face gloomy, his eyes as sharp as cold blades, thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinzhi asked him, "Are you really scared?"

Zhu Zhongjun didn't answer.

Gu Jinzhi reached out and waved it in front of his eyes, and he opened Gu Jinzhi's hand impatiently.

He was very engrossed in his thoughts and his brows were furrowed.

Gu Jinzhi knew that he had known something recently, but he was unwilling to tell her.

This made her light heart sink slightly.

——*——*——

At the corner of the street were two men dressed in coarse cloth. They were tall and strong, but they didn't look like peddlers. There was a sense of military dignity about them.

They all wore straw hats and stared at the carriage leaving Gu's Good Medicine Hall.

The canopy carriage quickly disappeared from sight.

One of the taller men slowly took off his straw hat, revealing a handsome and heroic face.

His eyebrows are high and his eyes are deep and bright.

At this moment, he was slightly pursed lips, mixed with pain.

"Sir, do you see clearly?" Another man next to him also took off his straw hat and asked him.

"See clearly..." The tall man's voice was low and hoarse, even a little dazed.

"It really looks like Zhenzhen!" the subordinate next to him said to him.

The tall man's face was a little distorted, and pain came to his mind.

"But it's just a resemblance!" the subordinate said again. "My lord, she is not the real one. She is the future concubine of King Luyang, who was given a marriage by the emperor... We shouldn't have come to see it today, but after seeing it, we were surprised.

You have added some burdens to your heart..."

"Zhenzhen has never been a burden!" The tall man's voice was a little harsh, interrupting his subordinate, "Zhenzhen said before leaving that she would not leave. She is always here. That Miss Gu Qi is the incarnation of Zhenzhen.

Come back. Don’t worry, she will be mine! I don’t have to endure the pain of losing a love, and you don’t have to endure the pain of losing a sister!”

The subordinate glanced at the adult he was following and could only sigh in his heart.

"Yes, my subordinate knows!" the subordinate said.

"Go back." The tall man finally said.

His name is Tan You. He is the eldest grandson of Mr. Zhang Hehou Tan and the brother of Concubine Tan. He is currently serving as the commander of Jinyiwei, and his status is second only to the commander of Jinyiwei.

Following him is his most trusted subordinate named Zhen Mo.

Zhen Mo has been with Tan You since he was a child. Then he stayed with him in the northwest camp for five years. Now he also serves in Qianhu in Jinyiwei. He is loyal.

His only relative is his sister Zhen Zhen.

Tan You fell in love with Zhen Zhen when he saw her for the first time.

He told Zhen Mo seriously that he wanted to take Zhen Zhen as his concubine and would take good care of her.

Zhen Mo's brother and sister were born in the market, and their father was a blacksmith.

With Zhen Zhen's background, it is a great honor to be an aunt in the Tan family.

Moreover, Zhen Mo knew Tan You well, and Tan You was a man who valued affection and righteousness. During their five years in the northwest, Tan You never visited military prostitute camps. He knew how to love himself and was never sentimental. He fell in love with Zhen Zhen.

It’s not that you are frivolous and want to see Zhen Zhen’s beauty.

He really liked Zhen Zhen and fell in love with her at first sight.

Zhen Mo agreed.

After Zhen Zhen passed through the family, she got Tan You's exclusive favor.

Tan You only has his first wives, Qin Shi and Zhen Zhen.

Mrs. Qin was married to Mrs. Qin at the behest of a matchmaker, ordered by her parents. Tan You disliked her very much. Except for the wedding night, he never stayed in Mrs. Qin's room again.

For this matter, his mother, Madam Tan, tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail.

At that time, everyone in the Tan family thought there was something wrong with Tan You.

Five years later, he came back from the northwest and took Zhen Zhen as his concubine. He rested with Zhen Zhen all day long and pampered her in every possible way.

Everyone in the Tan family breathed a sigh of relief and were happy that Tan You finally took on the important task of carrying on the family line.

Within half a year, Zhen Zhen got pregnant.

Zhen Zhen gave birth to Sister Yu for the first time.

During this period, Tan You still refused to enter the room of his wife Qin.

Mrs. Qin had cried a lot.

But at that time, the Tan family was worried about Tan You's physical health. Then they saw that he doted on Mrs. Zhen, there was nothing wrong with him, and he was happy. How could they pay attention to Mrs. Qin's crying?

The entire Tan family unanimously approved of Tan You doting on his concubine.

Although Zhen Zhen was the only one favored, she kept herself low and set the rules in front of the Qin family, and never tried to surpass the Qin family.

Tan You praised Zhenzhen's character in his heart, and felt even more pity for Zhen Zhen.

Then, another year passed.

Tan You still ignored his wife.

And Zhen Zhen was pregnant again, which made Tan You extremely happy.

However, the inner house of the Tan family finally realized that Tan You, who had an eccentric personality, was determined not to let his wife give birth to a legitimate son, so he just kept hanging out with his concubines and filled the house with concubines.

How can this happen?

The eldest lady of the Tan family even called Zhen Zhen over, scolded her for being flirtatious with Tan You, and asked her to change her ways.

The main wife, Mrs. Qin, also received support from her mother-in-law and began to be stricter with Zhen Zhen.

The child in Zhen Zhen's belly fell out on a snowy day because of being tortured by Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Qin.

The child who fell was a six-month-old fully formed baby boy.

Even if Zhen Zhen was aggrieved, she did not dare to say it in front of Tan You. But this time, she cried so much that she choked with sobs and held Tan You in her arms all night long, sobbing. Finally, she said: "As long as one more month, it will be okay if I fall."

alive..."

Tan You's heart felt like it was being cut with a blunt instrument.

He was in agony.

For this matter, he openly destroyed the small ancestral hall of his mother, Mrs. Tan, and made his wife Qin kneel in the snow to apologize to Zhen Zhen.

That incident was particularly violent back then.

Tan You disobeyed his mother, abused his wife, and was imprisoned in the clan's ancestral hall.

Zhen Zhen was also forced to kneel in the ancestral hall.

After kneeling in the ancestral hall all night in the cold wind, Zhen Zhen had just had a miscarriage. From then on, she began to suffer from ailments and her body collapsed.

And Tan You's first wife, Qin, was forced to kneel in the snow for a long time, and she also contracted a stubborn disease. Coupled with fear and sadness, Qin died within a year.

Zhen Zhen became frail and sickly from then on.

By last year, it had been two years since Tan You's first wife passed away. When his family tried to get him a step-mother, he refuted them coldly. For this matter, he even contradicted Mr. Tan Laohou. Everyone knew what he was thinking.

He wants to straighten Zhen Zhen.

But how could the Tan family, whose family background they were, allow a concubine to be upright and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan?

On this matter, the Tan family and Tan You refused to give in, and no one was willing to compromise.

But Zhen Zhen's body has been dragged down to the point of exhaustion due to the disease caused by kneeling in the ancestral hall during her miscarriage three years ago.

On the first day of the first lunar month of this year, she held the hands of Tan You and her daughter Yu Jieer. She couldn't bear it and closed her eyes.

Tan You was depressed for half a year.

Zhen Mo never saw him smile again, not even to his daughter, Sister Yu.

He was drunk and said to Zhen Mo: "Why couldn't I be born into a blacksmith's family and marry Zhen Zhen, and the two of us would be harmonious? I was sorry for Zhen Zhen. I had to force her to wade into that muddy water, and finally let her

She lost her life! The Tan family owes me two lives. My mother's life and Zhen Zhen's life. I will ask them for repayment in the future!"

Zhen Mo's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

The Tan family has many heirs, but the eldest wife only has one son, Tan You...

But from Tan You's tone, it seems that he is not Mrs. Tan's biological child.

Zhen Mo didn't dare to dig deeper, so he could only pretend not to hear.

It took Tan You more than half a year to accept the fact that Zhen Zhen had left him...

It happened that on August 14th, Tan You's only daughter, Sister Yu, ran to the outer courtyard to look for Tan You. She cried loudly that her aunt did not want her. She saw her aunt, but her aunt ignored her. Her grandmother and sixth aunt also scolded her.

There was a strange woman who also spoke loudly about her.

Tan You and Zhen Mo felt suddenly in their hearts at that time.

Soon, Tan You figured out what was going on.

A girl who looked very much like Zhen Zhen appeared at the Tan family's banquet, surprising everyone.

Zhen Zhen's status in the Tan family is definitely not as simple as that of an aunt. In Tan You's eyes, Zhen Zhen is his most beloved woman; while in the eyes of others, Zhen Zhen is a coquettish woman who makes the uncle's house full of wives.

The concubine is not a concubine. For her sake, the uncle did not want his wife, and his mother also disowned her, which made the family uneasy.

They really didn't want to have another Zhen Zhen, so when they saw Miss Gu, the young wives were a little bit embarrassed.

The women in the Tan family's inner house are both jealous and afraid of Zhen Zhen.

Tan You also remembered that Zhen Zhen said before she died that she was reluctant to leave, and she couldn't let go of Tan You and Sister Yu.

She also said: "...I heard that after death, the wish remains unfulfilled and the ghost remains. If you bump into me in the future, don't be afraid. I won't harm you. I just miss you and Sister Yu."

Tan You, a seven-foot-tall man, shed tears.

Now, she is really back.

Tan You heard that there was a girl who looked like Zhen Zhen, so she asked a lot about her.

He even learned that her maiden name was Gu Jinzhi, a well-known miracle doctor in Beijing. She cured the Queen Mother and was given a marriage to the King of Luyang.

Because of his young age, he has not yet got married.

She often goes to Gu's Good Medicine Hall for consultation.

Tan You had the idea to see Gu Jinzhi with his own eyes.

He has been hanging around Gu's Shanyao Hall since August 15th, and he didn't see Gu Jinzhi until today.

He didn't dare to go in rashly.

Gu Chenzhi from the Gu family may have seen him.

So he and Zhen Mo arranged such an outing today, just to take a look at Gu Jinzhi's appearance in the dark without alerting others.

When I saw it, I was even more shocked.

Zhen Mo Fangfu saw his younger sister who had not yet left the pavilion. She was a young and cute girl with a gentle smile; but Tan You couldn't bear to look away.

He seemed to have returned to the time when he first met Zhen Zhen...

At that time, Zhen Zhen was also that old.

It was as if he had turned back time and returned his lost treasure to him.

This time, he can even marry Gu Jinzhi as his official wife because she is of nobler origin than Zhen Zhen.

First, her marriage to King Luyang must be dissolved.

This is a bit tricky.

When going back, Tan You thought for a long time.

The idea that he was bound to win was not eliminated just because Gu Jinzhi was the quasi-concubine of King Luyang. He needed to think of a perfect strategy.

He really wanted to talk to her at all costs...

"Don't act too hastily, or you will lose all your efforts." Tan You suddenly said to Zhen Mo, "The Gu family is not easy to deal with, and King Luyang is the most beloved son of the Queen Mother, so long-term planning is needed."

"Sir, let's forget it..." Zhen Mo said worriedly, "Is she really really..."

Tan You glanced over with sharp eyes.
