Chapter 1118 - 1112: How did Jie Zhonglin die?
After all, there are still many eyes of the Empress in this residence. With so many people watching, it would be terrible if word got out.
"Okay, let’s find another courtyard to live in," she said.
Jin Zijin raised his eyebrows, his heart suddenly filled with doubt.
"Why is it that we are changing courtyards?"
The ancients were rather scrupulous about this; they had a clear distinction between hosts and guests. Since he was a guest, in his view, he should stay where a guest was meant to stay. How could he allow the host to change courtyards?
Gu Youyou, however, didn’t think so much. In her position, there were not so many cumbersome protocols; she just did whatever was convenient.
Considering that Miss Du’s pregnancy could not be kept secret anyway, she could only tell him the truth, saying, "Miss Du is pregnant, and it must not come to be known by others. And in this residence, there are too many eyes of the Empress that have not been dealt with. I can’t let her take that risk."
Gu Youyou bit her lip, troubled, "This matter actually does have something to do with me; had I not let her go to Xining, she would not have encountered such a thing."
Jin Zijin expressed surprise, asking, "The bandits?"
Because the people he sent had reported back that Miss Du had been captured by bandits, even to become the bandits’ leader’s wife.
"Of course not," Gu Youyou sighed. "Though she hasn’t said so, I guess it’s Jie Zhonglin’s. The sinful bond between the two of them is indeed strange. Let’s wait until she gives birth to the child before discussing what to do next... We’ll talk about it later."
