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

Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment.

"General, there is a problem in my humble position that I have never understood. Since we have never done anything wrong, why should we hide?"

Chen Shaobei said solemnly: "People's words are scary, you have to avoid them."

Jiang Zhi pursed her lips tightly, and after thinking about it, she didn't care.

After all, Ning Ning was right. She had done 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, as soon as Jiang Zhi walked to the outer courtyard, she was stopped by the maid sent by Mrs. Shu.

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

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

It seems that he is going to see Mrs. Shu!

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

So, are you planning to identify on the spot who frequents that room?

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

Inside Mrs. Shu's house.

Jiang Zhi stood in front of her, head lowered.

Su Zhirou felt quite proud because she had Mrs. Shu's support.

"Mom, look, I said I didn't lie, she is really a woman!"

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

The daughter is indeed pregnant!

Mrs. Shu didn't come back to her senses.

If this soldier was a woman, she would still have stayed in the Chen Jiajun's barracks.

If word spread, wouldn't it cause trouble?

Mrs. Shu naturally didn't want to involve 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 usually a little impulsive because of my pampering, she doesn't talk nonsense."

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

Jiang Zhi has calmed down.

She lowered her head and admitted.

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

"Mom, when I injured my ankle and was resting in the military camp, I saw General Chen Shaobei always protecting her. The two of them have a close relationship. Maybe..."

"Zhirou!" Mrs. Shu scolded, her face serious.

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

At this time, Jiang Zhi raised her hands and spoke in a dignified manner.

"Mrs. 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 he kept going in and out of the inn was because the general took pity on me and opened a room in the inn for me to bathe and rest."

"We have never done anything extraordinary, but Miss Su accidentally fell down at the gate of the military camp last time. The general took pity on her and had someone carry her in."

"She not only slandered Beizhi and tried to belittle her, but now that she has left, she is also staring at General Chen's words and deeds. A trivial matter will cause a storm in the city. I would like to ask, Miss Su, what do you want to do!"

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

Her face turned pale, as if she was being watched by someone for her deepest calculations.

"Mother!" Su Zhirou could only ask Mrs. Shu for help: "What she said is that it is not enough for us to believe it. We should ask the guests to gather together to listen to her explanation and give her daughter justice, otherwise Vice General Zhang will be angry. There’s nowhere to spread it.”

Mrs. Shu slapped the table and said, "Nonsense!"

She looked at Su Zhirou: "You made your own mistake. You went to the Zhang family to stir up trouble without knowing the truth. It's your fault. At today's banquet, you need to apologize to Vice Admiral Zhang and his wife."

Su Zhirou took a breath and pointed at Jiang Zhi: "What about her?"

Mrs. Shu's tone was calm: "Miss Jiang, please go back first. I will not publicize your affairs to the outside world, but I want to advise you that concealing your identity like this is not a long-term solution."

"To avoid more trouble in the future, you'd better discuss a solution with General Chen early."

Jiang Zhi cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Shu. I understand your humble position."

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

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

Su Zhirou was unwilling to give in, but she could only swallow her breath.

Mrs. Shu stood up and said, "Come on, follow me to accompany the guests. It's almost time for the banquet. When you see Vice General Zhang and his wife, you can admit your mistake and apologize."

"There is no shame in correcting your mistakes after you know them. Just remember not to do such things again in the future."

Su Zhirou followed her with downcast eyebrows and hummed weakly.

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

"Madam, miss, what's wrong, Miss Jiang who just left was stopped by Deputy General Zhang."

"What?!" Mrs. Shu's expression changed: "Why?"

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

"Vice General Zhang asked Miss Jiang in public whether she was a woman. General Chen was already angry. The prince and princess have passed by. You should go and have a look!"

Mrs. Shu hurried over: "Hurry up."

It would be better not to let them quarrel over this matter.

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

It turns out that besides her, there is another person who knows about this?

There was already a commotion in the main courtyard.

Vice General Zhang grabbed Jiang Zhi's sleeve and insisted on her proving herself.

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

Vice General Zhang looked at him: "General! If she is a woman, she cannot stay in our military camp. I am afraid that you will be kept in the dark because of your humble position. Jiang Zhi, if you can, admit it in front of everyone that you are not a woman." , otherwise how can you let our entire Chen family face the world."

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

Chen Shaobei's voice was cold: "No matter 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, just let it go. No matter what happens, we will discuss the matter after we return to the barracks."

Vice General Zhang hesitated for a moment, then gradually let go of his hand.

Chen Shaobei had a sullen face and wanted to take Jiang Zhi away.

The guests attending the banquet today are all prominent figures in the capital.

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

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

Mo Lingwei glanced at everyone present.

He wasn't worried about anything else, he was just worried 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 won't be too late to discuss your matters once they are clear."

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, a little ashamed.

Her low voice could only be heard by Chen Shaobei.

"Everyone has already doubted me. If I just leave like this, I will feel guilty and it will bring trouble to the general."

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