The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

In the evening, the general brought Li Shenning and Xiao Shenkek to the villa of the second wife Ma Xiahe. When the maid Xiao Zi saw Fan Ziren coming, she hurried into the house to inform the second wife. When the second wife heard that the general was coming, she was overjoyed and walked out quickly to greet Fan Ziren.

Fan Ziren saw his second wife Ma Xiahe and said, "What's wrong with your face? Are you learning to sing opera recently?"

Puff! Li Shen Ning and Xiao Shen Ke almost couldn't hold back their laughter. The maid Xiao Zi covered her mouth and laughed. Second Madam Ma Xia He glared at the maid Xiao Zi, and the maid Xiao Zi immediately restrained herself.

Second Madam Ma Xiahe thought: Could it be that my makeup today is too bright and scared the general?

Madam Ma Xiahe smiled and said to Fan Ziren: "General, you have become more humorous after your triumphant return!"

Fan Ziren looked at Second Madam Ma Xiahe without saying anything. The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Suddenly, Fan Ziren broke the silence and asked, "Where's Hui'er? Why can't I see him?"

Madam Ma Xiahe replied, "Hui'er went to play with the old lady. The old lady has been particularly worried about him recently, so I asked him to stay with her more. Do I need to send someone to pick him up?"

Fan Ziren shook his head: "No need, let's prepare for dinner!"

For some reason, ever since Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenkeng came in and took a look at the maid Xiao Zi, she felt a strong murderous aura, as if a few jackals, tigers and leopards were going to eat her, a little lamb, alive.

The maid Xiao Zi thought: Maybe the general just came back from the battlefield and there is still a murderous aura on him. I haven't offended them, so I must be overthinking it.

When the food was served, Fan Ziren took a look and saw that there was fish and meat. It was such a sumptuous meal. It reminded Fan Ziren of the food in Lou Yunsi's villa, where he couldn't even eat meat. He felt angry again.

Fan Ziren asked, "Is this a big table of food just for the two of us?"

Madam Ma Xiahe replied, "That's right. The general has returned triumphantly this time, and everyone in the mansion is preparing to celebrate for the general. It's just that the general chose to come to our villa, so we have to prepare delicious food and drinks!"

The maid Xiao Zi standing next to him said, "Yes, General, our wife has been busy from morning till night to welcome you, and she has put in a lot of effort and worked very hard, just to give you a delicious meal!"

When Fan Ziren saw the maid Xiao Zi interrupting, he immediately glared at her, scaring her so much that she quickly shut up and stood aside.

Madam Ma Xiahe looked at the maid Xiao Zi and said to the general, "I am not tired of running around for you. Xiao Zi is exaggerating. This maid is always by my side and I spoil her. Don't worry about it!"

Fan Ziren said: "You can spoil her, but you still have to know the limits!"

Second Madam Ma Xiahe saw that the general looked a little angry, so she signaled her maid Xiao Zi to apologize to the general quickly.

The maid Xiao Zi said: "General, I am sorry for talking too much. Please forgive me!"

Li Shenning spoke at this time: "Xiao Zi, you are very lucky to be favored by the Second Madam!"

The maid Xiao Zi thought she was really being praised, and said proudly: "The Second Madam is so nice to us!"

Li Shen Ning asked: "Oh, if it's so good, why doesn't the Second Madam invite you to eat? I heard that the Sixth Madam eats with her servants and maids!"

Madam Ma Xiahe smiled and said, "Guardian Li, you are such a joker. The master and the servant have different statuses, how can we eat together?"

Li Shenning said to the Second Madam Ma Xiahe: "Second Madam, how can the Sixth Madam be OK?"

The maid Xiao Zi interrupted and said, "Guardian Li, you don't know. I heard that the Sixth Madam is a fool in the Lou Mansion. She doesn't know anything. She didn't follow the rules after marrying into the mansion. There is only one servant and a maid in her villa. She still talks about a family. It's really ridiculous. No wonder the general didn't go to her place. With her condition, she doesn't deserve the general's favor!"

Second Madam Ma Xiahe did not notice how ugly the general's expression was at this time. She just felt that the maid Xiao Zi's words made sense, and she agreed, "Xiao Zi, although what you said is true, we can't say it so directly. The general is here, and he will only laugh at Sixth Sister if he hears it!" After that, she covered her mouth and laughed again.

Li Shenning said, "Xiao Zi, be careful because walls have ears. If someone hears you, they will come after you. You will bear the consequences yourself!"

Li Shen Ning thought to herself: Second Madam, how could you be so stupid to dare to speak ill of others, and the person you are talking about is our general's sweetheart. You don't even look at the general's face now, you are almost drawing your sword!

Xiao Shenke actually spoke up at this time: "Sixth Madam is not a fool!"

Second Madam Ma Xiahe and the maid Xiao Zi both looked at Xiao Shenke in surprise. In the past, when the general came to the villa, they rarely saw Xiao Shenke talking to him. Even if he did, it was always about the message. Today was the first time he talked about other topics.

The maid Xiao Zi saw Xiao Shenke speaking and said, "Guard Xiao, don't be fooled by her weak appearance. She is very good at pretending. I almost died at her hands. She is very good at gaining sympathy, but in fact, she is a complete idiot!"

When Fan Ziren heard the maid Xiao Zi constantly emphasizing that Lou Yunsi was a fool, the suppressed anger in his heart was quickly ignited.

Bang! Fan Ziren slammed the table hard and stood up, shouting, "Who allowed a maid like you to gossip about others? Drag you out and slap your face!"

The maid Xiao Zi was so scared that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "General, I know my crime. I didn't mean to talk nonsense while you were having dinner. Please forgive me, General!"

Then she knelt down and said to Madam Ma Xiahe, "Madam, I know I was wrong. Please help me talk to the general. I really know I was wrong. Please!"

Second Madam Ma Xiahe also wanted to plead for the maid Xiao Zi, but when she saw the general's angry look, she thought: I have never seen the general so angry in the mansion before. He probably didn't get enough rest after returning from the battlefield. I originally wanted him to eat well, but I didn't expect Xiao Zi to be so talkative and disturb his meal. Alas, I really can't help. If I plead, the general will probably blame me too.

Second Madam Ma Xiahe could only watch with sympathy as the maid Xiao Zi was dragged away by Xiao Shenke.

In the past, when Fan Ziren ordered people to be punished, Xiao Shen always asked others to carry out the execution. This time, he wanted to do the execution himself when he slapped the maid Xiao Zi, because he wanted to help Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi vent her anger. The maid Xiao Zi in front of him made Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi cry, which was really hateful.

Fan Ziren also followed out and watched the maid Xiao Zi being slapped in the face.

Xiao Shenke slapped the maid Xiao Zi in the face again and again. The maid Xiao Zi's mouth was swollen and she kept crying and begging for mercy. Only then did Xiao Shenke stop.

Fan Ziren looked at Xiao Zi being beaten and thought to himself: You deserve it. If you dare to say anything bad about Lou Yunsi again, I will skin you alive!

Fan Ziren looked at the maid Xiao Zi kneeling on the ground and crying, and said: "This is just a small punishment, but a big lesson. Next time, don't gossip about others!"

The maid Xiao Zi cried and said, "General, I dare not do that anymore!"

Fan Ziren left with Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke without even having a meal.

Madam Ma Xiahe looked on pitifully from behind, thinking that she had worked in vain today. Seeing the maid Xiao Zi kneeling on the ground, she scolded, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't said that, the general wouldn't have left in such anger! You are not allowed to go out for the next few days!"

The maid Xiao Zi thought: I am so unlucky to have encountered this! It's all the fault of the Sixth Madam, who made me get slapped and fall out of favor but still occupy the position of Madam. I wish you would drive the general and the old lady out of the house one day, humph!
