I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Royal Orchid Garden

It is the beginning of the night

Two figures, one big and one small, dressed in black nightgown and with their faces covered, tiptoed stealthily, gently pushed open the door and walked out, fearing to alarm the people in the next room.

"No! There are people watching outside Junlan Garden tonight."

The sudden sound made the shorter man in black pause. He immediately pulled the taller man in black back into the room and quickly closed the door.

"What's going on? You're not going?"

"Xiao Bai said you are being watched here."

"Ah? No way! Then the study room won't be burned tonight? I'm a woman who never leaves the house. Who would be so bored to spy on me? Could it be because of my beauty..."

Chen Bian touched his face narcissistically and muttered to himself.

"Xiao Bai, if this place is under surveillance, we can't act. Let me think about whether there is any other way. You also have to be careful."

"Don't worry, just leave it to Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei. Just consider it as... just consider it as a thank you for your hospitality today. And how are you two going to get there? Are you going to walk? It will be daybreak if you find the study room, burn the food, and then walk back. It's so troublesome."

It's just a house burnt down, just give us some fire starters."

Xiaobai raised his head, looked at the dark sky, and stretched his wings lazily.

Watching the three little birds float into the room from the window, each bird stretched out its claws to grab a tinderbox, and floated out silently.

Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian stared blankly at the birds' series of movements.

“By the side.”

"Ok?"

"Do you think we are useless?"

"Ah? Indeed, humans are not as good as dogs. No! Humans are not as good as birds."

Tzu Oi Tong

The old lady finished washing up with the help of Nanny Liu and prepared to go to bed.

But she was startled by someone who suddenly jumped in from the window. Just as she was about to scold him, the person suddenly knelt in front of her and called her grandma, almost causing the old lady to fall to the ground.

Shangguan Yan hurriedly helped the old lady sit on the couch.

Nanny Liu was almost frightened to death. When she saw that it was the general, she knew that the general must have something important to discuss with the old lady, so she tactfully went out to wait outside the door.

"Yan'er, weren't you busy training the troops in the camp and didn't have time to come back? But... why are you here so late at night? Is there something important?"

The old lady touched her grandson's head, her eyes and tone full of worry.

Shangguan Yan told the old lady everything about why the Emperor did not allow him to return home and was controlling him in the camp, as well as the rumors against the General's Mansion.

After hearing all this, the old lady seemed to have aged ten years. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger! The old lady reached out and touched her chest, which was almost suffocating.

Shangguan Yan hurriedly used her Qi to clear the old lady's breath.

"Yan'er! The emperor's mind is hard to predict, so you must be careful in everything you do. Remember not to get too close to the princes. These rumors have been going around for years, but there are so many rumors about you as soon as you return triumphantly. This is making people jealous.

I am not too old to know what kind of person Lan'er is. Although she is not a responsible wife, she is not a fickle person.

You should find out who is behind this and clear her name, which will save your reputation and that of the General's Mansion. Grandmother is old, and the General's Mansion depends on you and Lan'er."

The old lady closed her cloudy eyes, sighed, and pulled up Shangguan Yan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Don't worry, grandma. I know what's going on. I will find out who is behind this. I don't know what the emperor thinks of me now, and he won't let me rest. I can't come back during the day, so I can only come back secretly at night and disturb you."

"You don't have to be so kind to grandma. The one who's suffering the most right now is Lan'er. Go and see her!"

"Then rest, grandma. I will go right away."

.........

"Someone come quickly! There's a fire! There's a fire!"

"Ah? Fire? Where is the fire?"

There was a lot of noise outside.

.........

"General, Madam, it seems there is a fire in the direction of the Second Young Master."

Nanny Liu pushed the door open and came in.

The old lady was horrified.

Shangguan Yan looked solemn.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll go over and take a look."

"Yan'er, you came back secretly, so it's not easy for you to show up. Grandmother should go and take a look."

"Okay, then I'll go check it out secretly."

……

Dongyuan

"Auntie, the Second Young Master... there's a fire over there."

The maid Ludou came in hurriedly to report, trembling all over for fear of disturbing the aunt's rest.

"Oh? The second young master's yard caught fire? Where did it burn?"

Zhang Shurou felt so happy and relieved. "Jiang Man, ah Jiang Man, I didn't expect that even the sky can't stand you, hahaha! You pretend to be noble and set rules in front of me every day, now I'd better burn you to death! Let's go and watch the fun."

Nanyuan

The fire was finally put out.

Jiang saw that only the study was burned, and she patted her chest in joy. Fortunately, the storehouse was not burned, and no one was burned. It was probably just some calligraphy and paintings written by her husband that were burned, not valuable things.

After hearing that his study was on fire, Shangguan Ning fell off the bed and ran to the study. He was still in a dream until the fire was put out.

The place was in a mess, everything was burned, calligraphy and paintings were fine, but the things that comforted him were gone, those were the beautiful memories left to him by the girls in the boudoir! They were also proof of his excellence and beauty.

Oh my God! How can you be so cruel! Shangguan Ning felt like she was bleeding.

"Check! Find out what's going on!"

Shangguan Ning screamed like crazy.

"My dear, it's fine if it burned. As long as no one was burned, it's fine. There's nothing valuable in the study. I'll go find the old lady tomorrow and ask the craftsmen to repair it. I'll make it better than before."

Jiang went forward to comfort Shangguan Ning.

"You know shit!"

Shangguan Ning glanced at Jiang and walked away.

Zhang Shurou, who had just arrived to watch the excitement, saw Jiang Man standing there fine, and then looked again to see that only a small study had been burned in the fire. She was very disappointed.

This bitch is really tough.

"Madam Second Young Master, you really don't understand. A man's study is like a woman's private library. Some books and things are priceless. If they are burned, they will be gone."

Zhang Shurou sneered a few times, twisted her slender waist and took two steps, looked back at Jiang's dark fat face and swollen body, and sneered:

"Madam Second Young Master, please eat less! No wonder Second Young Master often stays in the study. You should be thankful that he didn't sleep in the study today!"

Seeing Aunt Zhang gloating before she left, Jiang gnashed her teeth in anger. Although Aunt Zhang was right, fortunately her husband did not stay in the study tonight, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

But when I think about it, isn't it a clear mockery of her obesity to ask her to eat less? Who doesn't want to be thinner and prettier? She is born with a physique that is prone to obesity. She can gain weight even by drinking water. What can she do? It's not like she hasn't tried to lose weight before, but she just failed.

Is a man's study really as important as a woman's private room? A pile of scraps of paper can be compared to gold, silver and jewelry? What a joke! A concubine really thinks she is so great.

Jiang looked gloomily at the direction where Aunt Zhang was going: What does a lowly thing know? How dare you laugh at me and humiliate me?
