The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

Li Shenning saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and was afraid that what the general said would make people suspicious. The general had said before that he could not reveal his acquaintance with the Sixth Madam for the time being, so he explained: "The general has always disliked people gossiping about him."

Only then did Hu Lijing breathe a sigh of relief and say "oh".

Hu Lijing saw that Fan Ziren seemed quite interested in these things. Maybe he was not in the mansion often and wanted to know more about the things in the mansion. So, Hu Lijing said in a coquettish tone: "Brother Ziren, you don't know how violent that maid Luo Yun is. She threw all our things on the ground and beat up my maid Xiaoya."

The maid Xiaoya covered her face and said pitifully, "Yes, General, our young lady went to their other courtyard to argue with the Sixth Madam for me, and was even verbally abused by the Sixth Madam."

Xiao Shenke said, "You have offended her, right?"

The maid Xiaoya said in panic: "No, it was her. She pushed me on purpose and said bad things about the young lady."

The maid Xiaoya continued, "That Sixth Madam must also like to gossip about others, which makes the general even more disgusted. And her maid Luo Yun must have been trained by the Sixth Madam. She can't stand the old lady being so nice to the young lady, so she deliberately wants to embarrass our young lady."

When Fan Ziren heard the maid Xiaoya saying bad things about Lou Yunsi, he was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up and get out!"

The general's shout scared the maid Xiaoya so much that she shut her mouth and shouted, "General, please forgive me. I will go out right away!" Then she walked out quickly.

Hu Lijing thought: It's all my fault. I haven't even had a few words with Brother Ziren and she's already talking so fluently. Fortunately, Brother Ziren didn't let me go out, so I can stay here with him.

Hu Lijing walked up to Fan Ziren and said gently, "Brother Ziren, don't be angry. It was my maid who spoke too much. I hope Brother Ziren won't take it to heart."

Seeing that Fan Ziren had no expression on his face, Hu Lijing tried to find a new topic to get his attention.

Hu Lijing walked to Fan Ziren's desk and began to grind ink with a skilled posture. As she did so, she said, "Brother Ziren, I can help you grind ink. When Daddy drafted letters before, I was the one who ground ink for him. I am very good at grinding ink!"

Fan Ziren said impatiently: "No need, I can let Li Shenning do it."

Hu Lijing still insisted, "Brother Ziren, take a look and see if I am good at grinding ink."

It did look pretty good, but Fan Ziren didn't seem to want to pay any attention to it.

Hu Lijing continued, "Brother Ziren, I can also help you tidy up your desk. I'm an expert at tidying up."

After saying that, he quickly tidied up the messy things on the table.

Fan Ziren shouted: "Don't touch my things, I just want to put them there!"

Hu Lijing was startled, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Ziren, I can also make good tea, which is fragrant and delicious."

Hu Lijing thought to herself: Why don’t I do what I’m best at, so that I can always attract Brother Ziren’s attention.

Hu Lijing fiddled with her delicate hands and looked at Fan Ziren lovingly. Even Chen Cu, the son of Mr. Chen, would be fascinated by this gesture.

As usual, Li Shen Ning would drool when seeing such a beauty, but this beauty had just said bad things about the Sixth Madam, which made him feel disgusted and he swallowed back his saliva.

Xiao Shenke didn't even look at Hu Lijing, as if she was performing a one-man show.

Fan Ziren had a look of disgust on his face and just wanted her to leave quickly.

Hu Lijing picked up the tea can on the desk and prepared to pour out the tea leaves. Fan Ziren waved his hand and said, "Don't move. I only like the tea brewed by Xiao Shenke. I'm not used to the tea brewed by others."

Hu Lijing looked at the cover of the letter on Fan Ziren's desk and said, "Brother Ziren, your handwriting is really beautiful. How about you teach me how to write?"

Fan Ziren said expressionlessly: "There are so many things to do in the army that there is no extra time for teaching."

Seeing that Fan Ziren was indifferent, Hu Lijing decided to use her ultimate move. She walked in front of Fan Ziren and suddenly leaned forward, trying to fall on him.

Fan Ziren quickly dodged, and Hu Lijing staggered and almost fell to the ground. Hu Lijing covered her head and said, "Brother Ziren, I feel dizzy."

Seeing Fan Ziren move away, Hu Lijing walked over to him and said, "Brother Ziren, I feel really dizzy!"

Hu Lijing fell down again, but this time she did not fall on the ground, but on a very strong and broad chest. Hu Lijing thought to herself: Brother Ziren, you still can't escape from my palm.

Hu Lijing closed her eyes, not wanting to let go so quickly, and hugged him tightly.

"Miss Hu, are you okay? Can you let go?" Li Shenning's voice came, and Hu Lijing thought: Hey, why isn't it Brother Ziren's voice? As soon as she opened her eyes, ah! She fell into Li Shenning's arms, and Fan Ziren and Xiao Shenke were watching.

Hu Lijing quickly let go of Li Shenning, stood up, and said loudly in panic: "You, you, you...why are you hugging me?"

Li Shenning said innocently: "Miss Hu, you threw yourself into my arms and hugged me tightly!"

Li Shen Ning thought: Normally, if a beautiful woman fell into my arms, I would naturally be happy, but you said bad things about the Sixth Madam, which means you are making an enemy of me, Li Shen Ning. Who wants you to fall in my arms with a look of disgust on your face? It is me who despises you.

Hu Lijing said awkwardly: "I suddenly felt dizzy, and when I saw Brother Ziren was there, I thought..."

Before Hu Lijing finished speaking, Fan Ziren said to her, "Li Shenning knows medical skills. You are dizzy, let him diagnose you!"

So, Fan Ziren gave Li Shenning a look, signaling him to go and see Hu Lijing quickly.

Li Shen Ning thought: This woman is too hypocritical, she is wasting her beautiful appearance.

After the diagnosis, Li Shenning said: "Miss Hu is too tired and feels a little dizzy. She should stay in bed and rest immediately. She is not suitable for walking."

Fan Ziren immediately said, "Someone come! Help Miss Hu back to the other courtyard to rest."

Hu Lijing shouted, "I'm fine! Brother Ziren..." Before Hu Lijing could finish her words, she was helped out by the maid.

Hu Lijing and her maid Xiaoya walked out of Fan Ziren's courtyard. The maid Xiaoya said, "Miss, why is the general so quiet? Is he not interested in women?"

Hu Lijing scolded, "What are you talking about? He is not interested in women, but he still has children with the first and second wives?"

The maid Xiaoya smiled and said, "That's right, but judging from the young lady's behavior just now, he should be deeply attracted by her beauty, why doesn't he seem to have any reaction?"

Hu Lijing poked the maid Xiaoya's head and said, "You, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because I pamper you. You were a little presumptuous in front of Brother Ziren just now, and you talked too much. Be more careful next time."

The maid Xiaoya knew that she was too talkative, and said to Hu Lijing guiltily: "Miss, I was wrong. I just wanted the general to notice you so much that I didn't expect that I said too much. Miss, please punish me!"

Hu Lijing tapped the maid Xiaoya on the head again and said, "Okay, this is the punishment. Don't do this next time!"

The maid Xiaoya smiled and said, "I know, Miss, but it is too difficult for the general to attract his attention."

Hu Lijing sighed and said, "Yes, I don't believe that I can't impress Brother Ziren. If I wait for a few more days, he will slowly fall in love with me."

The maid Xiaoya nodded and said, "Miss, yes, I will definitely do that."

Hu Lijing said to Xiaoya, "Well, let's go back and make me some stew to nourish myself, have a good sleep, and then think of a way to impress Brother Ziren."
