The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

Hu Lijing was thinking about how to attract Fan Ziren's attention in the courtyard. Seeing Hu Lijing lost in thought, the maid Xiaoya said to her softly, "Miss, are you still thinking about how to attract the general's attention? In our place, people who like you line up at the street corner. Even Master Chen is fascinated by you. With your beauty, the general will definitely be fascinated by you!"

Hu Lijing said: "Brother Ziren is not an ordinary person. He is a great general. He may have seen countless beauties."

The maid Xiaoya said: "So what if you are a general? You are also a man of blood and vigor, and you also need tenderness and comfort."

Hu Lijing suddenly realized and said, "That's right, he will never escape from my grasp!"

The maid Xiaoya said, "Miss, it's good that you have thought it through. Let's go and see the general tonight. Maybe the general will see your charming appearance and can't control himself. He will keep you in the other courtyard. Then, you can become the seventh wife legitimately."

When Hu Lijing heard what the maid Xiaoya said, she said shyly, "Oh, Xiaoya, what are you thinking about! You have so many tricks!"

The maid Xiaoya looked at Hu Lijing with a smile.

So, at night, Hu Lijing brought her maid Xiaoya to Fan Ziren's villa, but was stopped by two servants at the door. The maid Xiaoya pointed at Hu Lijing and said, "Do you know who she is? She is Hu Lijing, who was invited by Old Madam Fan to be a guest in the mansion. I am her personal maid Xiaoya."

One of the servants said, "Miss Hu, Miss Xiaoya, only those permitted by the general can enter the general's courtyard."

The maid Xiaoya said: "Our young lady and the general are childhood sweethearts, the general will definitely allow her to enter."

Another servant said, "Miss Hu, Miss Xiaoya, you have to be on the list of people to be received today to enter our general's villa. You two are not on the list of people to be received today, so we cannot let you in. Please forgive us for our duty."

The maid Xiaoya rushed forward angrily and said, "Are you all blind? The general will make you suffer in the end. Let us in now!"

A servant said coldly: "Ladies, if you want to come in, you must get the general's permission. No one is allowed to enter without the general's permission!"

The maid Xiaoya was so angry that her head was about to smoke, and she was ready to force her way in.

Hu Lijing thought to herself: If I force my way in, I'll probably have to be carried out, and if the other ladies hear about it, I'll lose all face.

Hu Lijing pulled Xiaoya back and said to the servants, "You two have been working so hard here every day. The general is lucky to have two loyal servants like you! I was invited by the old lady to leave my hometown and stay at the general's mansion. I am grateful for the old lady's love. I just want to go in and see the general. If he doesn't agree, I will go back and will never embarrass you."

The two servants saw that Hu Lijing in front of them was not as unreasonable as the maid Xiaoya, but they could not let her in easily.

Seeing the two servants looking embarrassed, Hu Lijing continued, "Old Madam Fan often told me that when Brother Ziren comes back, I should go to play with him often, just like when we were kids. Brother Ziren is so attached to me. If you two refuse to let me in, I can only report to the old lady and ask her to tell Brother Ziren that I will go in."

The two servants heard that it was Madam Fan's idea. They knew that apart from the general, Madam Fan was the one who could make the decision in the mansion. If they reported it to Madam Fan and she blamed them, they would be in big trouble.

So, the two servants let Hu Lijing and the maid Xiaoya enter the general's villa. The general's villa was indeed unique. Compared with the villas of other ladies, it was spacious and magnificent.

Hu Lijing thought to herself: "If I am favored in the future, I can come to Brother Ziren's place often. Maybe it is possible to move here. I am happy just thinking about it."

Led by one of the servants, they arrived at the door of a room. The servant said, "The general usually handles affairs in the study after dinner."

The servant knocked on the door, and Li Shenning came out, opened the door, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Suddenly, Hu Lijing and her maid Xiaoya came in. Hu Lijing stepped into the study, gently pushed Li Shenning aside, and called out coquettishly, "Brother Ziren!"

The maid Xiaoya who followed behind also came in and pushed Li Shen Ning away with force. Li Shen Ning thought: These two arrogant and unreasonable women, if I hadn't been humble to women and deliberately let my guard down, you two would have been knocked down and fell at the door.

Fan Ziren saw Hu Lijing and her maid Xiaoya coming in, and asked the servant behind them loudly: "Why didn't you bring them in even though they are not on the receiving list?"

The servant said in a panic, "General, Miss Hu said that it was the old lady's will that she come to meet you."

Fan Ziren probably understood his mother's intention and signaled the servants to go out first.

Seeing that Fan Ziren was not very happy, Hu Lijing said coquettishly, "Brother Ziren, the old lady is also thinking about you. She thinks that you have been away from home for many years without a companion by your side, so she hopes that I can come to accompany you more often."

Shawshenko said coldly: "We are always with the general!"

Hu Lijing smiled and said, "That's different. Some companionship is better provided by us women."

Li Shen Ning thought: This woman only cares about her good looks, but she is not at all reserved in her words.

Fan Ziren said calmly, "I only need Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke to accompany me. I don't need anyone else. Miss Hu, if you have nothing else to do, please go back."

Hu Lijing said pitifully, "Brother Ziren, you scared Jing'er. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, Jing'er often thinks of the good times when I played with Brother Ziren. Jing'er just wanted to come and accompany Brother Ziren, there is no other intention!"

Fan Ziren said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just not used to other people being with me in my study."

The maid Xiaoya stepped forward and said, "General, our young lady often talks about your childhood. I started serving her after you left. When I heard her mention you, I thought of that scene. It would be great if I could see you two accompanying each other now!"

Li Shenning looked at the maid Xiaoya and found that her face was injured. She didn't notice it when they passed by last time. Li Shenning stepped forward and asked, "Miss, how did your face get injured?"

The maid Xiaoya glanced at Li Shenning, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "It's all the fault of the Sixth Madam's maid Luo Yun, a barbaric and rude maid."

As soon as Fan Ziren, Xiao Shenke and Li Shenning heard the maid Xiaoya talking about Lou Yunsi and Luo Yun, their attention immediately shifted to Xiaoya.

Xiaoya thought that everyone would feel sorry for her and stand up for her, so she continued, "Luo Yun said that our young lady had no status in the mansion, and I don't know what kind of magic the old lady had given her to have her own villa, with servants and maids to serve her. She must have used some evil tricks. I was angry when I heard that and refuted a few words, and she beat me like this."

Hu Lijing took the opportunity to say, "Yes, Brother Ziren doesn't care about the Sixth Madam anymore, and she's still so arrogant. She doesn't even know how to discipline a maid. No wonder everyone dislikes her!"

Fan Ziren quickly asked, "Everyone dislikes her?"

The maid Xiaoya said: "Yes, the general doesn't like her, so of course everyone doesn't like her either!"

Fan Ziren shouted, "Who said that?"

Fan Ziren thought: Who said I don't like her! At this moment, he was sure of his feelings. He actually wanted to tell everyone that he really liked his sixth wife, Lou Yunsi.

Hu Lijing and the maid Xiaoya were a little surprised to see Fan Ziren's big reaction.

Hu Lijing thought to herself, "Doesn't the general dislike this Sixth Madam?"
