Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Qi Minxiu nodded and said with a smile: "Then he should come to thank you."

Xiao Mo also guessed the same thing: "I hope it won't cause me any trouble."

He should be the one saying this!

There seem to be only a few Lu families in the entire imperial city, and the only one with some fame is the cloth merchant. I don’t know which family the woman Xiao Mo saved belongs to.

Qi Minxiu looked at Xiao Mo who was straightening his clothes and chuckled, "What trouble? If he dares to bother you, I'll make him disappear."

Xiao Mo was startled by Qi Minxiu's gentle yet firm tone, especially his words.

She had never even met this Mr. Lu, so how could the situation he was worried about happen?

The trouble she mentioned was that she was afraid that the people in the Lu Mansion would take the opportunity to have close contacts with the Prime Minister's Mansion to pave the way for their own business.

Seeing the shock that flashed across Xiao Mo's eyes, Qi Minxiu put away the sharpness in his eyes and stretched the corners of his mouth a little wider: "Since there is something going on in the mansion, you should go back today."

Xiao Mo looked at him calmly, stood up and straightened her clothes: "Apply the paste on your legs until the water stains on the surface are absorbed and then wipe it off."

After saying that, she walked to the table beside her, picked up the medicine box and walked towards the door.

Outside, Shen Yun saw her coming out and hurriedly walked up to her: "Miss, the second young master of the Lu Mansion is waiting for you in the mansion."

"Yes, I heard what Han Zhou said."

The two talked as they walked, and after their figures disappeared outside the gate, Ling Su, who had never appeared, walked out from the side yard.

In the room, Qi Minxiu looked at the direction Xiao Mo left and narrowed his eyes: "Go and find out where the men she redeemed from Chunhua Tower were arranged."

"If we find them, do I need my subordinates to finish them off?"

"You don't need to do anything." Qi Minxiu shook his head slightly, already having an idea in his mind.

Prime Minister's House.

When Xiao Mo returned, the hall was full of people, and there were many exquisite gift boxes placed on the tables and chairs nearby.

If you don’t know, you might think that it was some young man coming to propose marriage.

When Xiao Wenbo saw Xiao Mo walking towards him, the smile on his face became even brighter: "Mo'er, come quickly."

Xiao Mo looked at Lu Huai who was sitting in the guest seat. As soon as he sat down, he stood up and bowed to her respectfully.

"My sister was out shopping the other day and was nearly hit by a runaway horse. Fortunately, General Xiao came to her rescue and saved her from harm. These little things are a thank-you gift from the Lu family. I hope you will accept them."

Lu Huai lowered his head slightly and glanced sideways at the things on the table next to him.

Xiao Mo frowned slightly and smiled faintly, "Mr. Lu, there's no need to be so polite. Everyone is brave enough to do what is right. If I encounter such a situation, I will save anyone no matter who it is."

"General Xiao is truly worthy of being a person valued by the emperor. His spirit of selflessness is worthy of learning from everyone." After he finished speaking, Lu Huai straightened up and looked directly at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo sat with a dignified posture, drinking tea with her eyes lowered. When she felt the gaze coming from above her head, she put down the teacup and looked straight over.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Huai's body felt like it was electrocuted, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Just now, when Xiao Mo walked towards this side, he didn't see her face carefully because Shen Yun was walking beside her.

Now that he was looking at her from such a close distance, he realized that she was even more beautiful than his sister Lu Yao had described.

Especially those clear and bright eyes with distinct black and white, and the dark pupils are calm and introverted, giving people a very stable and secure feeling.

However, there seemed to be an injury on the side of her face, which would leave a mark.

Xiao Mo looked at Lu Huai looking at her like this, feeling a little unhappy: "I appreciate Mr. Lu's kindness, but you can take the things back. The Prime Minister's Mansion is never short of things to appreciate."

After hearing what Xiao Mo said, Lu Huai realized that he had gone too far and quickly bowed his head with a smile to apologize.

"General Xiao has a stunningly beautiful face. I, Lu, was stunned by his presumptuous behavior. I hope the general will forgive me."

Such exaggerated praise would not make her feel happy if it came from anyone other than her master and a few senior brothers.

Her face, in her uncle's words, perfectly inherited the good looks of Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu.

Even so, she would still feel that the description of "the most beautiful woman in the world" was an exaggeration when applied to her.

Rather than this kind of word, she prefers people to describe her as beautiful.

"Mr. Lu has a clever tongue." Xiao Mo raised the corners of her mouth without any warmth, staring at Lu Huai coldly: "I will only accept your verbal thank you gift, please take all the gifts back."

Lu Huai smiled warmly, without any embarrassment of being rejected on his face.

"There's no reason to take back the things I brought out of the Lu Mansion. If General Xiao doesn't like them, you can give them to the servants as a reward."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin and Li, who had been sitting silently nearby, suddenly became excited.

They stood up and tried to smooth things over, "The Lu family is truly one of the richest merchants in the imperial city. They actually used such a fine thing to reward their servants."

As they spoke, they started to open the gift box.

Xiao Mo swept a cold gleam over, and Shen Yun immediately understood. She strode forward and slammed the box in Lin's hand shut! She was so fast that she almost pinched her hand.

Just as Lin was about to turn around and act coquettishly towards Xiao Wenbo, she saw Xiao Mo, with a dark face, looking at her coldly.

After the lessons learned from the previous times, she didn't dare to do it again and could only look away.

At this moment, Li, who was standing opposite Lin, suddenly screamed, and the sound of something falling to the ground and breaking was accompanied by the scream.

Everyone present was shocked. When they looked over, they saw Li's hands still in the air as if holding something.

Looking at the ground again, a blue and white porcelain white jade vase had been broken into several pieces.

Xiao Mo's expression changed, and she stood up suddenly, shouting softly, "Who told you to touch those things?"

If these things are intact, even if Lu Huai doesn't want them today, she can still return them to him intact in the future.

Now, if one of the things someone brought is broken, how can she return it?

Li was startled by Xiao Mo's low but angry voice.

Throughout the whole process, Lu Huai maintained an elegant posture with a faint smile on his face.

Even when Li accidentally broke the things in the gift box, his expression did not change at all.

Perhaps, this is the confidence of rich people.

Seeing Xiao Mo getting angry, Lu Huai curved his lips and smiled: "It's just a vase, General, don't feel sorry. If you like it, my Lu Mansion has many more, and I will send them to you another day."

Xiao Mo stared at Li with blazing eyes, but her words were in response to Lu Huai: "Mr. Lu, you misunderstood. I don't like vases."

"I see that the concubines like these things very much. General, please accept them."

"Since you insist, thank you very much." Xiao Mo's eyes moved and looked at Lu Huai without any warmth: "It's almost time for dinner. Mr. Lu, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Realizing that Xiao Mo was trying to chase him away, Lu Huai turned around and bowed gracefully to Xiao Wenbo.

"I apologize for disturbing you. I hope you will forgive me. It's time for dinner, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he nodded, bowed like a gentleman, and left with his servants.
