Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 115 Lessons

Qi Minxiu originally wanted to send Xiao Mo back to her room, but when he reached the door, Xiao Mo refused.

He hurried to the palace, and after weighing the pros and cons, he agreed.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Xiang sat in the hall, fanning herself with a folding fan and looking like she was watching a show as Xiao Mo slowly walked in.

"Hey, isn't this my sister? I almost forgot about you because I haven't been home for so many days."

Xiao Mo didn't want to pay attention to her and walked around her and went to the backyard along the gravel path next to her, but she came up and blocked her way.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? Look at your little face, it's as white as paper."

Facing Xiao Xiang's sarcasm, Xiao Mo just looked at her coldly.

If she spoke a little louder, the wound in her chest would cause waves of pain, so she had no time to spare when facing the sharp-tongued Xiao Xiang.

Shen Yun felt that Xiao Mo's hand was a little cold. Not wanting her to waste time talking to Xiao Xiang, she stood in front of her and looked at Xiao Xiang respectfully.

"Second Miss, the eldest lady is seriously injured and needs to rest. She can't stand in the wind for a long time. Please move aside."

Xiao Xiang glared at Shen Yun, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped her: "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that!"

Xiao Mo looked at her fiercely, slapped her back, and threw her to the ground: "Who are you? How dare you hit my people?"

Xiao Xiang covered her face and looked at Xiao Mo with tears in her eyes: "You, you dare to do this to me? I am the future prince..."

"Shut up! I don't care if you're the future Crown Princess or the future Imperial Consort. You said you're the future Princess. As long as you don't become one, you'll be under my feet forever."

Xiao Mo didn't dare to speak loudly, but her calm voice, combined with the meaning of her words and the current atmosphere, actually gave people a sense of calm fear.

She endured the severe pain in her chest from hitting Xiao Xiang just now, pretended to be calm and turned to walk towards Suqiyuan.

Murong Shu and Lin rushed over from the East Courtyard upon hearing the noise. Seeing Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang being supported and beaten, they were so scared that they walked towards their daughters.

"Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?" Lin helped her up worriedly and turned to look at Xiao Mo: "Mo'er, Xiang'er is your sister, how could you hit her?"

"Did you see me hit her? Also, call me Miss." Xiao Mo looked at her expressionlessly, which made her feel uneasy.

Lin was speechless for a moment, and after a moment she reacted: "I know why you are so hostile to her, because she is about to become the Crown Princess, you are jealous

But, isn't it His Royal Highness Prince Chen that you like? If you don't choose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can't you let Xiang'er choose?"

"What you said makes sense, but you seem to have made a mistake.

That is, I am not jealous of her, but she is resentful of me, thinking that she will soon fly to the branches and become a phoenix, so she takes the opportunity to be sarcastic in front of me and show off her status.

Don't use anything that hasn't been settled as a source of bragging rights, as it will easily lead to ridicule."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wenbo's serious voice came from the direction of the door: "Mo'er is right."

When they heard the sound, they looked and saw Xiao Wenbo walking towards them with big strides behind Qi Yue.

As soon as Qi Yue entered the yard, Xiao Xiang happily ran up to him and took his hand: "Your Highness, you are here!"

He took her hand away with disgust and walked up to Xiao Mo: "Why are you standing in the wind? It would be terrible if you caught a cold. Come on, I'll take you back to the house."

Xiao Mo retracted her hand, glanced at him lightly, turned around and put her hand on Shen Yun's: "Yun, let's go."

Qi Yue was about to stop him when Xiao Xiang held him back again: "Your Highness..."

Qi Yue turned around and looked at her, the disgust in his eyes almost overflowing from his eyes.

Xiao Xiang lowered her eyes pitifully and pretended to touch her slightly red and swollen cheek with her hand casually.

"I just accidentally bumped into my sister. It's only right for her to teach me a lesson, but..."

Before she finished speaking, Qi Yue frowned and reached out to pinch her face and took a closer look.

Xiao Mo couldn't use force on the wound on her chest, but the force on her face was not shallow. If her bones were dislocated because of the beating, it would be terrible!

Xiao Xiang thought Qi Yue was checking her injuries out of concern for her, and excitedly reached out and held his hand: "Your Highness..."

Qi Yue pulled his hand back, eyes full of anger: "Next time you make her angry, it won't be as simple as a slap. If you hurt her hand, I won't forgive you."

After giving the warning, he strode towards Suqiyuan without even looking at her.

Xiao Mo was injured and could not walk fast. When Qi Yue arrived, they were going up the stairs and about to cross the corridor.

Qi Yue silently picked her up from behind and held her sideways: "If you want to feel pain, struggle hard."

After hearing this, Xiao Mo, who was about to move, immediately became obedient.

Back in the room, Qi Yue put her on the chaise longue he had given her and asked Shen Yun to bring her a blanket.

Xiao Mo glanced away quietly, with no intention of talking to Qi Yue.

After Shen Yun covered her with a blanket, she slowly sat up and said, "Yun, go get me a bra."

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "Miss, why do you want to bind your chest?"

"Don't worry about it. If Suqiyuan doesn't have it, go get it from Madam's Courtyard. If she doesn't have it, go buy it outside."

Although she didn't know what she wanted to do, she went anyway because she was so persistent.

After Shen Yun left, Qi Yue gave Yuan Mu a look, and Yuan Mu left the room and closed the door.

Xiao Mo didn't want to pay attention to Qi Yue, so she picked up a book on the desk and started reading it seriously.

Qi Yue walked over to her and sat down: "Amo, do you hate me so much?"

Xiao Mo didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear his voice.

He softened his tone and said in a coaxing tone: "Amo, did I do something wrong? Why are you ignoring me like this?"

Xiao Mo raised her eyebrows lightly, without looking at him, and asked in a cold voice: "Am I an object? Why are you fighting over me like this?"

"What do you mean? I have never treated you as an object. In my heart, you are a flesh-and-blood person." Qi Yue answered her question seriously.

Xiao Mo was silent for a while, closed the book, and looked at him coldly: "The decree issued by the emperor this morning has nothing to do with you?"

Hearing her question, he paused: "Amo, why do you always blame me when something bad happens? Is that the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Seeing him vehemently denying it, Xiao Mo was confused: "Who else but you would want me to be free again?"

Qi Yue frowned and stood up aggrieved: "It was the people in the southwest who were influenced by Qi Minxiu's ghost marriage and followed suit.

It's even prevalent in some places. When the Emperor learned of this, he decided to start suppressing it, starting with him, and that's why he issued this decree."

His explanation was simple and clear, and Xiao Mo also understood the interests involved.

She lowered her eyes, her tone slightly ashamed: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"You don't have to apologize, I won't blame you." Qi Yue sat back in his seat and reached out to hold Xiao Mo's hand.

Although she pulled her hand out, her rejection was obviously much less than before.
