Chapter 502: Interlocking

Chen Shaobei asked Jiang Zhi to leave the Su Mansion immediately to avoid trouble.

Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment.

"General, there is a question that I have never understood. Since we have not done anything wrong, why should we hide?"

Chen Shaobei said in a deep voice: "People's words are scary, you have to avoid them."

Jiang Zhi pursed her lips, she thought about it, and she didn't care.

After all, Ning Ning was right, she did nothing wrong, what was there to be afraid of?

However, in order not to affect Chen Shaobei's reputation, she decided to leave first.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhi was stopped by the maid sent by Madam Shu as soon as she walked to the outer courtyard.

Chen Shaobei saw Jiang Zhi frowning from a distance, listening to what the maid said.

After a while, she actually followed the maid in the opposite direction.

It seems that she is going to see Madam Shu!

Chen Shaobei frowned slightly, and saw from the corner of his eye that the servants of the Su Mansion also invited the innkeeper.

So, are you going to identify who often goes in and out of that room?

Chen Shaobei felt bad, so he immediately went to find Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning.

In Madam Shu's room.

Jiang Zhi stood in front of her, lowering her head.

Su Zhirou was quite proud of having Madam Shu's support.

"Mother, you see, I said I didn't lie, she is really a woman!"

The maid had searched her body with Jiang Zhi's consent.

It is indeed a woman!

Madam Shu was a little confused.

If this soldier was a woman, she would still stay in the barracks of the Chen family army.

If it gets out, it will cause trouble.

Madam Shu naturally doesn't want to implicate others.

She said to Jiang Zhi: "I invited you in this time just to find out what happened that day. Although my adopted daughter is a little impulsive because of my pampering, she will not talk nonsense."

"Jiang... Miss Jiang, you have been in and out of the inn for the past few days, but?"

Jiang Zhi has calmed down.

She bowed her head and admitted it.

Su Zhirou couldn't wait to throw dirty water on her.

"Mother, when I was resting in the barracks after my ankle was injured, I saw General Chen Shaobei always defending her. The two of them have a close relationship. Maybe..."

"Zhirou!" Madam Shu scolded with a serious face.

Su Zhirou pursed her lips and glanced at Jiang Zhi unwillingly.

At this time, Jiang Zhi bowed and spoke, looking generous.

"Madam Shu, I don't want to hide anything. I am indeed a woman and I have no close relationship with the general."

"The reason why I keep going in and out of the inn is because the general feels sorry for me and opened a room in the inn for me to bathe and rest."

"We have never done anything out of line, but Miss Su fell down at the gate of the military camp last time, and the general took pity on her and had her carried in."

"Not only did she slander me for wanting to flirt with her, but now she has left and is watching General Chen's every word and action. A small matter has caused a lot of trouble. I would like to ask, what exactly do you want to do, Miss Su!"

Su Zhirou was stunned by Jiang Zhi's series of questions.

She turned pale, as if someone had seen through her inner thoughts.

"Mother!" Su Zhirou could only ask Madam Shu for help: "It's not enough for us to just believe what she said. We should gather the guests and listen to her explanation to give justice to our daughter, otherwise Deputy General Zhang will have nowhere to vent his anger."

Madam Shu slapped the table: "Nonsense!"

She looked at Su Zhirou: "You made your own mistake. You went to the Zhang family to stir up trouble without finding out the truth. It was wrong of you. At today's banquet, you need to apologize to Deputy General Zhang and his wife."

Su Zhirou's breath was choked, and she pointed at Jiang Zhi: "What about her?"

Madam Shu said in a faint tone : "Miss Jiang, you go back first. I won't make your matter public, but I want to advise you that hiding your identity like this is not a long-term solution."

"To avoid more trouble in the future, you should discuss a solution with General Chen as soon as possible."

Jiang Zhi bowed: "Thank you, Madam Shu, I understand."

She left, and Su Zhirou stamped her feet in anger: "Mother! I..."

Madam Shu interrupted her complaints: "Zhirou, if you continue to be so ignorant, I will send you back to Shuzhou tonight!"

Su Zhirou was unwilling, but she could only swallow her anger.

Madam Shu stood up: "Let's go, follow me to accompany the guests. It's almost time to start the banquet. When you meet Deputy General Zhang and his wife later, admit your mistakes and apologize."

"It's not shameful to correct your mistakes. Remember not to do such things in the future."

Su Zhirou followed her with drooping eyebrows and eyes, and hummed weakly.

However, as soon as the two walked out of the corridor, a maid from the front yard ran over.

"Madam, Miss, it's bad. Miss Jiang who just left was stopped by Deputy General Zhang."

"What?!" Madam Shu's face changed: "Why?"

The maid said hurriedly: "It seems that someone told Deputy General Zhang that our lady actually saw Miss Jiang, but was embarrassed to say it, so she used his name to expose the matter."

"Deputy General Zhang questioned whether Miss Jiang was a woman in public. General Chen was already angry. The prince and the princess have gone there. You should go and see it!"

Madam Shu hurried over: "Go."

Don't let them quarrel over this matter.

Su Zhirou lifted her skirt, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.

So besides her, there was another person who knew about this?

In the main courtyard, there was already a commotion.

Deputy General Zhang grabbed Jiang Zhi's sleeve and insisted that she prove herself.

Chen Shaobei stood in the middle and said sternly: "Zhang Chi, let go!"

Deputy General Zhang looked at him: "General! If she is a woman, she cannot stay in our military camp. I am afraid that you are also kept in the dark. Jiang Zhi, if you have the guts, you can admit in front of everyone that you are not a woman, otherwise how can we, the entire Chen family army, face the world."

Jiang Zhi bit her lip and tried to speak several times, but was interrupted by Chen Shaobei.

Chen Shaobei said coldly: "I don't care who told you these rumors, they are not true. Jiang Zhi is a soldier I recruited, and I am responsible for all her words and deeds!"

"If you are still my soldier, let go. No matter what happens, we will discuss the disposal when we return to the military camp."

Deputy General Zhang hesitated for a while and gradually let go of his hand.

Chen Shaobei frowned and wanted to take Jiang Zhi away.

The guests who came to the banquet today are all well-known figures in the capital.

But the highest status ones are Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning.

The two of them stood by and hadn't spoken yet, so it was even harder for the others to say anything.

Mo Lingwei glanced at everyone present.

He wasn't worried about anything else, but was afraid that something might happen to Jiang Zhi, which would make Shen Ningning unhappy.

So, he finally said in a cold voice: "Go back first. It's not too late to talk about your affairs after you figure them out."

Chen Shaobei grabbed Jiang Zhi's wrist and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhi lowered her head and froze in place.

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows, and Chen Shaobei was also a little surprised.

He turned around and saw Jiang Zhi's face drooping slightly, a little ashamed.

Her low voice was only heard by Chen Shaobei.

"Everyone has already suspected me. If I leave like this, it will be guilty and will implicate the general."

Chen Shaobei was stunned when he heard this and guessed what she wanted to do.
