The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

Everyone had finished eating the delicious No. 1 claw in the world. Lou Yunsi said to everyone, "As the saying goes, after dinner, there is always gossip. Do you have any gossip to share?"

Wangcai asked, "Madam, what's the saliva gossip? I tried my best to control my saliva while eating!"

Lou Yunsi smiled and said, "Haha, gossip is what people discuss after dinner."

Luo Yun seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Madam, the general's punishment of Xiao Zi is considered gossip, right? It's really gratifying. Thinking back to the last thunderstorm, it was really infuriating!"

Fan Ziren quickly asked: "What thunderstorm? What happened?"

Luo Yun said, "Last time during the thunderstorm, our wife went to the Second Wife's Villa to look for the general, but Xiao Zi tried to stop her and acted weird, causing our wife to come back in the rain and fall. How despicable!"

Fan Ziren thought: Thunderstorm? Wrestling? Could it be the one we saw?

Fan Ziren asked curiously, "Did Madam go to see the general? When? Why don't we know about it?"

Luo Yun said excitedly: "It happened before. One time during a thunderstorm, our Madam was scared and wanted to go find the General. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Xiao Zi in the Second Madam's courtyard. She also heard the Second Madam and the General being affectionate in the room!"

Fan Ziren shouted, "Nonsense! When did you and the Second Madam flirt with each other? Nonsense!"

Ever since the Second Madam gave birth to Huier, Fan Ziren has not slept in the same bed with her, let alone spending a night with her.

Seeing Fan Ziren so excited, Lou Yunsi said, "Guard Fan, don't be angry. It was indeed the Second Madam who was calling the General and saying that she was with the General."

Fan Ziren quickly explained, "It's impossible. We were with the general during the thunderstorm. He couldn't have been with the second lady!"

Lou Yunsi said: "But the second lady kept shouting 'General'."

Fan Ziren asked, "Did you hear the general's voice?"

Lou Yunsi shook her head, and Li Shenning also said, "We were indeed with the general during that thunderstorm. The general couldn't have been with the second lady!"

Xiao Shenke also nodded in agreement.

Lou Yunsi saw that all three people said that they were with the general that night, so she knew that Second Madam Ma Xiahe must have lied.

Lou Yunsi thought: Oh my gosh! The unpredictable things can be faked. It seems that the women fighting in this mansion are more cunning than what is said in the TV series. They have so many bad tricks!

Seeing Lou Yunsi's silence, Fan Ziren asked again, "Why did you think of going to see the general that day?"

Luo Yun rushed to say: "I'll tell you a secret. Our young lady is afraid of thunder. It was thundering that night and she was scared, so she went to the general for courage."

Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke instantly understood why they saw Lou Yunsi walking in the thunderstorm late at night. It turned out that she was afraid and wanted to find Fan Ziren, but was deceived by the second wife Ma Xiahe. She must have been very sad at that time.

Fan Ziren felt bad, thinking how good it would be if he had called her back and sent her back. Thinking of this, Fan Ziren shook his head and sighed.

When Lou Yunsi saw Fan Ziren's reaction, she wanted to tell Luo Yun not to say anything, but she was too late to stop him. Thinking that her secret had been revealed by Luo Yun, and now everyone knew that she was afraid of thunder, Lou Yunsi smiled awkwardly.

Fan Ziren's heart was filled with ripples: Lou Yunsi came to see me that night, why was I so happy?

After Fan Ziren knew the secret that Lou Yunsi was afraid of thunder, he felt that he understood Lou Yunsi a little better. He glanced at Lou Yunsi, and suddenly they stared at each other for a few seconds. Fan Ziren felt his face getting hot and quickly turned his head to look elsewhere.

Lou Yunsi thought: Guard Fan wouldn't think that I'm being hypocritical by going to see General Fan Ziren! Why should I care what Guard Fan thinks? I'm a married woman! Forget it, don't think too much.

At this time, Wangcai suddenly said, "Madam, after we harvest the sweet potatoes, there is nothing left to plant in the fields. Should we plant something else?"

As for Wangcai, sometimes I don’t know whether I should praise him for his quick reaction and knowing how to change the subject, or say that he is slow to react and is always out of touch with others.

Lou Yunsi thought: Forget it, Wangcai’s words this time were quite timely, so I can change the subject to avoid embarrassment.

Lou Yunsi said to Wangcai, "We can grow watermelons. Guards Fan, Li, and Xiao, can you help me find watermelon seeds that can be planted?"

Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenkeh all nodded.

Li Shenning said: "Of course! We will take care of the watermelon seeds, but where are you going to plant them?"

Wangcai said: "In our planting base."

Li Shenning asked curiously: "What is a planting base?"

Wangcai replied: "It was our wife who gave it the name. The farmland is in our yard. We have built a shed over there. We have already grown cabbage, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, etc. The sweet potatoes used in the sweet potato cakes and sweet soup you ate before were grown by us."

When Fan Ziren heard that they grew the sweet potatoes themselves, he couldn't believe that those sweet potatoes were grown in this yard.

Fan Ziren asked, "Can I go over and take a look?"

Lou Yunsi said: "Sure, this way please!"

Lou Yunsi took Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke to visit the other courtyard planting base, and Wangcai and Luo Yun also followed.

It turned out that the place where they saw a shed was where sweet potatoes were planted. Lou Yunsi said, "This is our planting base."

Fan Ziren asked: "Why do we need to build a shed?"

Lou Yunsi replied: "After setting up the shed, we don't have to worry about strong winds, rain or snow. It can keep warm and reduce damage from pests, etc."

Li Shenning said: "Wow, Sixth Madam, you can even do this. If anyone dares to call you a fool, I will kick him away!"

Lou Yunsi said speechlessly: "Guardian Li, thank you so much for being so direct."

Li Shenning smiled and said, "Haha, Sixth Madam, don't be offended, I am praising you."

Lou Yunsi thought: Other people’s compliments are like a surging river, endless, but Guard Li’s compliments are like first stepping on you and then giving you a piece of candy, just like coaxing a child, haha!

Fan Ziren asked: "Why did you think of planting here?"

Luo Yun said excitedly: "It's because the general didn't come to us that our wife became a lady who fell out of favor. The dry food distributed by the eldest lady is too little. If we don't grow it ourselves, we will starve to death!"

Lou Yunsi said awkwardly: "Luo Yun speaks more directly, and sometimes he exaggerates a little. Don't be surprised. It's good to grow crops by yourself. It can kill time and be self-sufficient without asking others for help. It's killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it!"

Fan Ziren felt a little sorry for Lou Yunsi and blamed himself for not knowing these things earlier so that he could do something for Lou Yunsi.

Fan Ziren said, "There are only three of you. The planting process must be difficult, right?"

Wangcai said, "No, Guard Fan, my wife said I am like an ox, the kind that works silently. I don't feel tired no matter what I do as long as I have something to eat."

When everyone heard what Wangcai said, they all laughed.
