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

Xiao Mo let go of her hand and looked at her sharply: "You are not from the Imperial City, how do you know so much?"

"I saw it in a book when I was a kid, and I fell in love with it right away. I thought I'd never be able to see it again, but I didn't expect you to pick me up."

Shen Yun said happily, and the next second she was pulled by Xiao Mo in the direction they came from.

She bit her lip, lowered her head and walked forward in silence, but she bumped into someone not long after she got there.

The other person groaned in pain, and Xiao Mo quickly helped him up: "Are you okay? Sorry, I lost my mind while walking."

The person she helped up lowered her head and rubbed the place where she was hit. Before she could say anything, her maid came to her defense: "How can you look at the road, you..."

She hadn't finished her words yet, with an angry expression on her face, but she shut up the moment she saw that the person coming was Xiao Mo.

"Xiao, Miss Xiao." The girl lowered her head slightly and retreated behind Lu Yao.

Lu Yao frowned and when she looked up, she met a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.

She smiled brightly as she stepped forward and took Xiao Mo's hand: "Miss Xiao, it's you! Are you here to visit West Street too?"

Xiao Mo looked at her blankly. For a moment, she couldn't remember who she was, but she felt somewhat familiar.

Last time, because Shen Yun left first, I didn’t see the scene where Xiao Mo saved Lu Yao, so I didn’t recognize her.

She walked to the front of Xiao Mo with a confused look on her face. Just as she was about to ask, Xiao Mo suddenly remembered: "Are you Lu Yao?"

Lu Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "I thought Miss Xiao had forgotten me."

"Are you out shopping too? Are you alone?" Xiao Mo asked casually out of politeness.

Lu Yao shook her head and pointed behind her: "I came here with my brother. He said he wanted to go to the Yue Lao Temple to pray for marriage, so I followed him out of curiosity."

"Yue Lao Temple?" Xiao Mo turned her head and looked at Shen Yun inquiringly.

Shen Yun quickly moved closer to her and whispered, "These were the two previous marriage temples, which were later merged into one and renamed Yue Lao Temple."

Xiao Mo nodded and smiled awkwardly: "Oh."

At this time, Lu Huai came up with two gift boxes. He must have seen Xiao Mo from a distance, and greeted her happily as soon as he came: "When did Miss Xiao come back?"

Hmm? What time did you come back? How did he know I was away?

Seeing Xiao Mo looking at him strangely, Lu Huai smiled gently.

"It's like this. A few days ago, my mother caught a cold and her legs were swollen. She consulted many doctors but none of them could help her.

I heard that you offered to treat the leg of His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and I thought you had some medical skills, so I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask to see you.

The first time the maid in the mansion said you were going on a long journey, I thought she was sending me away. Later, I went there twice more. The last time, the Prime Minister’s wife received me.

She told me that you went to Hanqueling, which is a thousand miles away from the imperial city. I wonder what you were doing there?"

"My uncle is over there. I'm going to visit him. Is your mother's leg healed?"

Xiao Mo didn't want to continue discussing her uncle with him, so she changed the subject and asked about his mother's situation.

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but once I did, I found myself inexplicably getting a job.

Lu Huai's smile faded, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Currently, I'm using medication to control it. Once I stop taking it, my legs will hurt and swell again."

Shen Yun, who had been standing nearby watching the show, noticed something was wrong and quickly grabbed Xiao Mo's hand: "Miss, look over there..."

As soon as she said this, Lu Yao walked forward with a sweet smile and took Xiao Mo's other hand.

"Sister, can I call you that? I always feel that calling you Miss Xiao or Miss Xiao is too unfamiliar. From now on, I will just call you sister, okay?"

She blinked her deer eyes cutely, and her big watery eyes stared straight at Xiao Mo's face.

Xiao Mo looked at her, blushing and looking away: "Yes, yes."

"Then sister, can you spare some time to go to the Lu Mansion to see my mother's injury? We won't take up your personal time. You can come again when you are free if you want, okay?"

Lu Yao shook her hand in a slightly coquettish manner.

It’s strange to say, Xiao Mo is not a person who likes to act coquettishly or be acted coquettishly, but why can’t she hate Lu Yao for being like this in front of her?

As expected, cute people are popular everywhere.

Xiao Mo supported her with some embarrassment and laughed dryly twice: "This..."

She didn't want to go to Lu Mansion every day after visiting Qi Minxiu.

Shen Yun saw through her attitude and quickly pushed Lu Yao away: "Our young lady is busy."

Lu Yao's frail body was shaken by Shen Yun's push, and then she fell into Lu Huai's arms.

Lu Huai quickly and warmly asked if she was hurt, and the next moment he stood up straight and apologized to Xiao Mo: "It's my fault for being so rude to you, Miss Xiao. Since you are busy, let it go. I'm sorry."

Xiao Mo looked at them helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lu Yao frowned and held her right wrist with her left hand, pursing her lips in pain.

Xiao Mo noticed her expression and movements, stepped forward and gently took the hand she was holding: "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Lu Yao looked at her aggrievedly: "No, I just accidentally pulled it."

Xiao Mo lifted her sleeve and checked her wrist gently. After discovering that her hand was slightly strained, she turned her head and looked at Shen Yun with a reproachful look.

Shen Yun was startled by her eyes, and then lowered her head dejectedly.

"She's usually clumsy like this. She didn't mean to hurt you. I'll take time to check on your mother."

Xiao Mo gently rubbed Lu Yao's hand, "Don't lift anything heavy these days. It will be fine after a while."

Lu Huai and Lu Yao exchanged a glance, then looked at her with gratitude, "Thank you, sister!" "Thank you, Miss Xiao."

"I asked you to check my back injury, but you were too busy to do it. But you're free to treat other people, right?"

A familiar voice came from behind Xiao Mo. When they looked over, they saw Qi Yue in a purple-blue uniform walking towards them with a cold look in his eyes.

Seeing him, Xiao Mo reflexively turned around and wanted to leave, but before she could take a step, Qi Yue strode forward and grabbed her arm.

"Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?"

Xiao Mo shook off his hand speechlessly: "You asked me to come to West Street, and I'm here. You didn't say you couldn't let me leave."

"You're here and you want to leave? What are you dreaming about?"

Before Lu Yao and Lu Huai finished their greetings to Qi Yue, he pulled Xiao Mo towards the Magpie Bridge.

"What are you doing? Let me go. What's the point of pulling and tugging in the street?"

"Okay, I'll let you go and you can walk on your own, or I'll carry you over."

Xiao Mo gritted her teeth, raised her foot and kicked Qi Yue on the butt. The latter noticed her movement and dodged quickly.

He let go of her hand and took a step back, staring at Xiao Mo with a mixture of anger and amusement: "What do you want to do? Force me to do something to you?"

Xiao Mo glanced around: "I don't like being led around by others."

"Okay, come here and walk with me."
