The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

After Xiao Shenke got some ice from the ice cellar in the mansion, he walked straight to Lou Yunsi's villa. Hu Lijing, who was walking nearby, saw him. Hu Lijing pointed at Xiao Shenke in the distance and asked the maid Xiaoya to look quickly. Then she said, "Look, isn't that Guard Xiao, the general's personal guard?"

The maid Xiaoya took a look and said, "Yes, when I saw Guard Xiao before, he was always with the general. Why didn't I see the general this time?"

Hu Lijing said: "The direction he was walking towards seemed to be the Sixth Madam's villa. Last time we saw him with a servant, he also looked like the Sixth Madam."

The maid Xiaoya was surprised and said, "Could it be that the general and the Sixth Madam are not like the rumors say, and they actually never see each other again, but are secretly very affectionate?"

Hu Lijing shook her head and said, "Why would the general do this? The Sixth Madam is not someone who can't be seen by others. Is there any need to be sneaky in his own mansion?"

The maid Xiaoya asked in confusion, "Why did the general's personal guard go to the Sixth Madam's villa and be so intimate with her? Could it be that Guard Xiao and the Sixth Madam are having an affair?"

Hu Lijing suddenly said with a sly smile, "This makes sense. The general didn't even go to the Sixth Madam's place on his wedding night, let alone meet her. It must be that Sixth Madam, that bitch, who couldn't get the general's favor, so she seduced his personal guard."

The maid Xiaoya said: "I heard that before the Sixth Madam married into the Fan Mansion, there were rumors that she had a man hidden in her boudoir. In the end, the old lady still let her in. I don't know what the old lady was thinking. Is she old and confused?"

Hu Lijing put a finger to her lips, signaling the maid Xiaoya to stop talking nonsense: "Xiaoya, keep your voice down. We still have to rely on the old lady. We can't offend her. If someone with ulterior motives hears us, we will be punished by the old lady. Before I officially become the general's wife, I have to continue to please the old lady."

The maid Xiaoya patted her mouth gently and said, "I was just a bit rude at the moment. I will be more careful next time."

The maid Xiaoya came closer to Hu Lijing and said to her, "Miss, do you think the general knows about the Sixth Madam and Guard Xiao? Should we go and tell the general now?"

Hu Lijing waved her hands and said, "No, we don't have any evidence to prove that these two are having an affair. Guard Xiao is a big shot around the general, the general's right-hand man. If we rashly report it to the general, he will naturally not believe us. Besides, he hates gossiping the most. If we get involved, then Madam Six and Guard Xiao will just watch the show. Wouldn't that be in vain?"

The maid Xiaoya said, "That's right. Why don't we go to the Sixth Madam's villa to see if there is anything we can find? If we happen to catch them, their affair will be exposed. If we catch them then, it might be good for us."

Hu Lijing thought it made sense, so she took her maid Xiaoya and walked towards Lou Yunsi's villa.

Xiao Shenkei delivered the ice to Lou Yunsi's villa and asked her if she needed any help. Lou Yunsi said that Wangcai and Luo Yun were there, and reminded Xiao Shenkei to remember to come early in the evening for the watermelon feast.

Xiao Shen Ke retreated.

After Xiao Shenke left, Hu Lijing came and saw that there was no one at the gate of Lou Yunsi's villa, nor the pavilion in the villa. She said proudly, "Sixth Madam, there is no one in the villa, not even a guard dog. It's too shabby. I could see people last time I came here, but now I don't know where they have gone."

The maid Xiaoya laughed and said, "How lively can the villa be with just a lady who has fallen out of favor? Maybe she won't be the owner of the villa soon."

Hu Lijing smiled and said, "Xiaoya, why are you saying such things in her villa? But what you said makes sense. I like to hear it."

"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a man's voice was heard. Hu Lijing turned around and saw that it was a servant. Hu Lijing said calmly, "I came to chat with your wife."

Wangcai said to Hu Lijing rudely: "Last time, your maid beat our Xiaoyun, and you also made things difficult for our wife. Now you say you want to chat, but I don't believe you. I think you are here to pick a fight again!"

The maid Xiaoya said: "You are just a servant, what qualifications do you have to talk to our young lady? Our young lady is a distinguished guest of the Fan Mansion. Maybe she will be the seventh lady of your mansion in the future."

Wangcai laughed loudly and said, "Seventh Madam? I haven't heard of her. I only know there is a Sixth Madam, and that's our Madam. You are standing in our Sixth Madam's house right now, fantasizing about the day you will become the Seventh Madam. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Hu Lijing said angrily: "You dog slave, it's not your turn to talk nonsense here. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will report it to the old lady!"

"Who is talking nonsense in my territory?" Lou Yunsi and Luo Yun heard someone talking loudly in the kitchen of the villa, and hurried out to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, it was Hu Lijing and her maid Xiaoya.

Lou Yunsi whispered to Wangcai, "You can leave first and go to the kitchen to work. We are here."

So, Wangcai stepped down.

Hu Lijing glanced at Lou Yunsi and said, "Oh, Madam Six looks good today, with a rosy complexion. It seems that she is a person who is nourished by love!"

Luo Yun said loudly: "Miss Hu, how come you speak just like your name, all Hu Lai? The general is not here with us, so how come our wife is so well-off?"

The maid Xiaoya said, "Just because the general is not here with you doesn't mean that others can't give your wife some comfort."

Lou Yunsi thought to herself: This damn girl, you are so mean, believe it or not, I will slap you!

Luo Yun said angrily: "What are you talking about? Don't slander our wife. Our wife is well-behaved in the mansion and has not done anything to let the general down. You are slandering her by saying this."

Hu Lijing said to her maid Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, we can't say anything careless. If we are right, she will be embarrassed."

Lou Yunsi said nonchalantly, "Miss Hu, you didn't come to our villa with your maid to catch someone having an affair, did you? The general didn't see it, but you have seen a lot of hallucinations, right? Instead of coming to our villa to talk nonsense, you might as well go back and dress yourself up and see how you can attract the general's attention. You're wasting your time here."

Hu Lijing looked very unhappy, but she still maintained her composure and said, "Look how anxious Sixth Madam is. It's all my maid's fault for being too talkative. Sixth Madam, please don't mind it."

Lou Yunsi thought: You scheming girl, you came to our villa for no reason and said nonsense, and you acted so confidently. Fortunately you were sensible and didn't dare to make a big fuss. If you did, I would have to tear your slutty mouth to pieces.

Lou Yunsi cleared her throat and said, "Miss Hu, why did you come to the other courtyard to see me?"

The maid Xiaoya replied: "Our Madam just wants to know more about the environment of the Fan Mansion. After all, she will be the Madam here in the future, so she wants to familiarize herself with the environment in advance."

Luo Yun sneered, “Oh, this is the villa of the disgraced lady. Do you need to come to a place like ours to get familiar with it?”

Lou Yunsi thought: Usually I see Luo Yun as a weak woman, but I didn’t expect she is so good at quarreling and fighting, she is so tough!

Hu Lijing and her maid Xiaoya were at a loss for words. Hu Lijing pretended to feel a little uncomfortable and said, "Maybe the wind here is so strong that it makes my head hurt. Xiaoya, let's go back!"

The maid Xiaoya quickly supported Hu Lijing and whispered, "Miss, let's get out of this damn place!"

So the two of them retreated.

Luo Yun watched the two people retreat and said to Lou Yunsi, "Madam, look at these two people, they are just looking for trouble, they have nothing to do, they think we have few people in our courtyard and are easy to bully, I will make them pay for it!"

Lou Yunsi comforted Luo Yun and said, "Forget it, Xiaoyun, let's hurry up and prepare our watermelon banquet."

Lou Yunsi pulled Luo Yun to the kitchen of the villa to continue working.
