The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

Li Shen Ning and Xiao Shenkeng returned to the military camp and found a soldier named Xiao Lin in the army. They told him about the distribution of tribute and together they escorted the tribute to the ladies in the mansion back to the mansion.

After arriving at the mansion, Li Shen Ning repeatedly reminded Xiao Lin to explain to each lady later the matters that need to be paid attention to when distributing tribute, and especially emphasized that every lady must receive the tribute in place.

After giving the instructions, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenkke withdrew. Because the Sixth Madam was also present when the tribute was distributed, it was not convenient for the two of them to show their faces in front of the Sixth Madam, so they had to leave quickly.

When the ladies heard the news of the distribution of tribute, they were overjoyed and came one after another.

The Sixth Madam also came with Luo Yun and Wangcai.

When the ladies saw the Sixth Lady coming, they all looked as if they didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Thinking back to the day when First Madam Zhao Chunlei hosted a flower-viewing banquet, everyone was very enthusiastic, especially First Madam Zhao Chunlei, who treated her younger sisters first and younger sisters second. Now things are completely different. First Madam Zhao Chunlei completely ignored Lou Yunsi's existence, and Second Madam Ma Xiahe glanced at Lou Yunsi with disdain.

It was the Third Madam Wu Qiuye who asked, "Sister Sisi, why are you here?"

Wangcai rushed to answer, "Madam San, didn't they say that every lady should come here to receive the tribute? Shouldn't they receive it here?"

Madam Ma Xiahe couldn't help but say, "You little dog slave, did I ask you? What are you doing here? Go back to your villa!"

Second Madam Ma Xiahe thought: You are not worthy enough to come and receive tribute. Like master, like servant. You don't even know how to be tactful when speaking, and you don't even realize how much your master is disliked.

Wangcai lowered his head angrily. If Lou Yunsi hadn’t signaled him not to speak, he would have probably started to yell.

Lou Yunsi thought: How come I seem to have fallen from one pit into another? I escaped from the Lou Mansion, got rid of the aunt and sister with ugly faces, and came to the Fan Mansion, but I still have to face these ugly faces, and a bunch of gossipy housewives. Oh my God, although I like to watch TV dramas about house fighting, I don’t like to participate in them!

Lou Yunsi stepped forward and said to Third Madam Wu Qiuye, "In reply to Third Sister, someone in the mansion told me to come over, so I came over."

After saying that, Lou Yunsi turned around and said to Madam Ma Xiahe, "Second sister, please forgive Wangcai for being rude. He was just too anxious and interrupted you. Please don't take it to heart. Today, all the sisters have received messages and come here to receive tribute. You are in a good mood, so don't let small things ruin your happy mood!"

Lou Yunsi continued, "We came here because we received a message from the mansion, we didn't come here on our own!"

Second Madam Ma Xiahe thought to herself: Wow, you are so powerful, so sharp-tongued, and you can't even keep quiet in this deserted house. I will find a chance to teach you a lesson someday and let you know who is the truly favored person in the mansion.

At this time, the soldier Xiao Lin came to the ladies and said to them, "Ladies, this time I have been ordered to distribute the tribute sent by the emperor to the ladies. The general said that every lady will have one."

Then the big box of tribute presented by the emperor was opened. Inside were six tributes that had been allocated long ago, including pearl necklaces, pearl hairpins, various rare treasures, as well as various precious medicinal materials, precious grains, etc.

Everyone cheered and rejoiced when they saw it. Luo Yun saw it and whispered to Lou Yunsi: "Madam, that's great. Our good days are coming."

Seeing Luo Yun's eyes glowing with gold, Lou Yunsi quickly said, "Haha, look how happy you are!"

First Madam Zhao Chunlei was very unhappy when she saw Lou Yunsi and her maid Luo Yun smiling there, and thought: How can a person who has fallen out of favor be worthy of sharing these precious things with us?

Everyone got their share of tribute. When Lou Yunsi was about to take the tribute, she was stopped by the eldest lady Zhao Chunlei.

Madam Zhao Chunlei said, "Sister Sisi, there are only three of us in your courtyard now. It would be a waste to take these things back. Otherwise, divide your things and let us share some of the burden for you!"

Soldier Xiao Lin quickly said, "Madam, the general said that every lady will receive the same amount!"

Ma Xiahe, the second wife, and Zhao Chunlei, the first wife, thought the same thing and agreed, "You don't know, our Sixth Wife is a little different from us. There are only three people in her courtyard, unlike us who have so many servants and maids. Our portion is just right, but her portion is more than enough. If the old lady knows that someone is wasting, she will punish them. Will you be responsible then?"

When the soldier Xiao Lin heard that Madam Fan might punish him, he immediately said, "Second Madam is right. I have completed my mission. The rest is up to the ladies to discuss."

After saying this, the soldier Kobayashi hurriedly retreated.

Lou Yunsi thought: A bunch of robbers! They are clearly trying to steal my things. It's so abominable. If I don't obey now, I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future. I'd better endure it. Impatience can ruin a big plan! Maybe I'll travel to the dinosaur world in the future and bring a dinosaur back to scare you to death.

Lou Yunsi said: "Big sister, what the second sister said makes sense. I will only take some food, and you can share the rest!"

When the First Madam Zhao Chunlei, the Second Madam Ma Xiahe and the other madams heard this, they were overjoyed. They actually had an unexpected surprise.

Second Madam Ma Xiahe thought to herself: You are sensible and know how to give in, otherwise I will make you pay!

So Lou Yunsi took the food over, and let the rest be divided among the ladies. Then everyone went back to their own courtyards.

Lou Yunsi, Luo Yun and Wangcai returned to the villa and found that Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenkeh had been waiting in the back garden for a long time.

Fan Ziren thought the tribute distribution was almost over, so he wanted to rush over to see how happy Lou Yunsi was. Unexpectedly, he only saw them holding some food, nothing else.

Fan Ziren stepped forward and asked, "Didn't you go to collect tribute? How come you only brought back so little?"

Luo Yun said angrily: "The first and second wives, those robbers, took away all the valuables!"

Li Shenning said in surprise: "Isn't the amount distributed to each lady the same?"

Luo Yun said excitedly: "It was the same thing originally. The first and second wives intercepted it and said that we have few people in our house and we should not waste it. They were clearly bullying us because we have few people and suppressing us in the name of the old lady. It's so abominable!"

Wangcai also said, "Yes, they only know how to bully Sixth Madam. They speak with thorns and look at us with disgust, as if we were beggars! If Sixth Madam hadn't signaled me not to speak, I would have rushed forward and scolded them!"

Fan Ziren slapped the table and said, "How can they bully you like this? Not letting you all take them away, isn't that disobeying the general's order?"

Li Shen Ning and Xiao Shenke saw Fan Ziren getting angry again. They had seen him getting angry several times recently, all because of the Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi.

Seeing everyone's angry expressions, Lou Yunsi thought: In our world, if we encountered such a thing, we would have called someone to negotiate long ago, but in this world, we rushed over, what are we going to talk about? Are we going to pull her hair? She is the favored wife of the general. The general and Madam Fan must have helped them by standing there. In the end, it still ended in disgrace. We should just bear with it!

Lou Yunsi comforted everyone and said, "Don't get excited. If those valuable things are given to us, we will be happy. If not, there is no loss. Money is just a thing!"

Lou Yunsi continued, "There's a saying in my family that goes 'If you can be patient for a while, you'll have peace; if you take a step back, you'll have a broader horizon.' Since we still have to face these people in the Fan Mansion, and we're not in a favorable position right now, if we clash with them, we'll be the ones who'll suffer in the end. We've also gained something this time, at least we got a lot of food. Wangcai was drooling just now, haha!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Wangcai also laughed out loud.
