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

Murong Ze looked down at her and then turned away, pretending to be relaxed and answering, "What do you think about what my father said yesterday?"

Yesterday? What did my father say?

Xiao Mo thought for a moment and looked at him tentatively: "Are you talking about the child marriage?"

"Ah."

"Haha, didn't you say that what we said when we were kids shouldn't be taken seriously?" Xiao Mo laughed twice, her face full of innocence.

Murong Ze pursed his lips and looked ahead pretending to be indifferent: "If I hadn't said that, Father would have planned our wedding."

"Yes, my uncle is a man of his word."

"Then..." Murong Ze gradually stopped, turned to face Xiao Mo, and looked at her with raised eyebrows half-jokingly.

"Will you marry me? If so, stay. I'll send someone to pick up my aunt and uncle to attend our wedding. Alternatively, you can return to the imperial city to get married."

Xiao Mo looked up at the person in front of her in confusion, unable to believe her ears. She swallowed and quickly turned around to avoid his gaze.

"My cousin, are you serious?"

Although Murong Ze curled his lips into a faint smile, the hurt in his eyes was extremely obvious.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo turned around, otherwise he would have been scared seeing this.

He calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart, laughed, and straightened Xiao Mo's body: "Just kidding, let's go and watch the show."

Seeing Murongze so relaxed, Xiao Mo realized it later and suddenly ran up and jumped on his back: "Good you, you dare to play tricks on me, I will bite you."

"Hey, hey, hey, I remember you were born in the Year of the Dragon. Why are you acting like a dog?"

The two of them came to the stage, playing and joking, watched the show and went to swim in the lake, playing until very late before returning home.

In the evening, after dinner and a bath, Xiao Mo wanted to lie on the couch and read for a while, but as soon as she sat down, the candlelight next to her went out.

The sudden dark corner made Shen Yun, who was not far away, look over subconsciously.

Xiao Mo put down the book in her hand, stood up and checked: "It seems that the wick of the red candle has been submerged. Bring me some tweezers."

Shen Yun walked over and took a look, then took the coat beside her and put it on: "This red candle is almost finished, I'll go get a new one."

After she left, Xiao Mo came to the desk with a book. Just as she was about to sit down, she caught a glimpse of a faint pink fluorescence out of the corner of her eye.

She walked forward, picked up the glowing object, and realized it was the colorful paper animal lantern Murong Ze had bought for her during the day.

This thing actually glows!

Xiao Mo chuckled and turned off two more lights, and the glowing little fox in her hand became brighter.

When Shen Yun came back with her things, she looked at the dim room and almost thought she had walked into the wrong place.

Seeing her come back, Xiao Mo quickly waved to her and asked her to come over: "Yun, look."

Shen Yun put the red candle on the table and turned around to take out the little rabbit that belonged to her.

"Mine is also very bright, look, miss!"

Xiao Mo patted the empty seat beside her and motioned for Shen Yun to sit over there. "When I saw it during the day, I thought it was just that vendor exaggerating."

"Look, Miss, the color of this fluorescent light can change!"

Xiao Mo grinned at the fox in her hand, then suddenly frowned and tilted her head to stare at the little thing's eyebrows and eyes seriously.

"Yun, who do you think this fox looks like?"

Shen Yun looked over, confused, and tilted her head like her: "I didn't see that."

"Look at his eyes and eyebrows. How are they not like Qi Minxiu? He is gentle but with a hint of stubbornness. His narrow eyes look like when he is unhappy, and his slightly furrowed brows look more like when he is wronged."

Xiao Mo happily analyzed the similarities between the little fox and Qi Minxiu, completely unaware of how abnormal her behavior was.

Shen Yun stared with wide eyes at her young lady chattering on and on about someone who had nothing to do with the present moment.

"Miss, are you thinking about His Royal Highness Prince Chen?" she asked in a low voice.

At this time, Xiao Mo came back to her senses and threw the things in her hand aside helplessly: "Who misses him? I just, what is there for him to miss."

Shen Yun suppressed her smile and leaned over to coax her: "If you don't want to, then you don't want to. Miss, do you still want to read? If you do, I'll go light the lamp. If not, let's rest."

Xiao Mo glanced at the book behind her and supported herself with her hands proudly: "Go to sleep."

Her mind was now filled with what she had just said and Qi Minxiu's angry and aggrieved look, so how could she concentrate on reading?

After that day, Murong Ze took them to other places in Hanqueling for a few days.

Before going back, he prepared a luxurious carriage for Xiao Mo made of four Ferghana horses and fine nanmu wood.

But Xiao Mo didn't want it. She only wanted two Arabian horses and a little money, planning to ride back with Shen Yun.

Although Murong Ze and Shen Hanzhou were reluctant to leave, they also knew that they could not stay here forever.

I could only send them out of the city with tears in my eyes, and only turned back when I could no longer see them.

Xiao Mo and Shen Yun did not return the same way, but took another route to Qinshan.

It has been nearly two years since she last came back.

Two of her senior brothers on the mountain had gone down the mountain before she left, so there were originally two left. But when she came back this time, she found out that her younger senior brother had also returned home to inherit the family business.

Fortunately, Master still has his second senior brother by his side, otherwise he would be very sad.

On the mountain, her courtyard room was spotlessly clean, as if she still lived there.

Xiao Mo knew that it was all done by the second senior brother. Not only her, but he also cleaned the rooms of other senior brothers.

This kind of friendship cannot be compared with those so-called blood relatives.

She introduced Shen Yun as her friend to her master and senior brother, and rested in Qinshan for many days before setting off back to the imperial city.

The last time she left, Xiao Mo didn't cry, but this time her eyes were red and she couldn't help but hug her master and cry her heart out.

Because in her heart, this is her home.

.........

When Xiao Mo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, her mood had changed a little.

When she thought about how her master, who was both her father and mother, had raised her with such difficulty.

Now, this old man who had no worries about food and clothing got the upper hand, and she felt a lump in her throat and couldn't swallow it.

This trip of more than two months made her deeply feel that the life she liked was not to be trapped in a deep mansion as a rich lady with status but no freedom.

Instead, you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, travel around the mountains and rivers at any time, and live a free life without any constraints.

This wish would not have been considered a wish before, because as long as she wanted, her master would take her to do anything.
