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

She gripped Xiao Wenbo's wrist tightly, and with just a little force, his face changed in pain: "Rebellious son!"

Xiao Mo realized belatedly that she had used her internal force and quickly let go of her hand. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wenbo lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Lin's mother and daughter panicked and rushed forward to surround him: "Master, Master, are you okay?"

"Xiao Mo, how could you attack your father?! He is your father, your elder!"

Xiao Xiang stared at Xiao Mo with eyes wide open. Before she could speak, Lin continued, "He is indeed a savage. He has no manners at all."

Seeing Xiao Mo coming back, Murong Shu was very happy. Without Xiao Wenbo's instruction, she didn't dare to stand up and could only hold Xiao Mo's hand from behind.

"Mo'er, are you back?"

Xiao Mo glanced coldly at the three people in front of her, turned around and tried to help Murong Shu up awkwardly, but Murong Shu just looked at Xiao Wenbo timidly.

She closed her eyes and stood aside: "Why? Tell me."

Xiao Wenbo's eyes turned red with anger. After standing up, he wanted to move forward, but was scared away by Xiao Mo's look.

He looked at her with forced calmness: "Why, are you going to kill your father?"

"My daughter doesn't dare. She practices martial arts and when she gets emotional she can't control her strength and may get hurt accidentally."

Xiao Mo explained expressionlessly, but Lin didn't listen to her and spoke while half-hiding beside Xiao Wenbo.

"Whether it's intentional or not, offending an elder should be punished."

These words touched Xiao Wenbo's heart, and his expression softened a little. Just as he was about to say how to punish Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo interrupted him.

"First, please explain why the Prime Minister slapped the mistress of the house in front of my concubine. Otherwise, when I go to the emperor to complain, I am afraid that I will say something that is not true."

Xiao Xiang covered her face with silk and chuckled softly, "Do you think the emperor is someone you can see just because you want to? Even if you won a victory for the country, you can't eat until you die, right?"

Her words comforted Xiao Wenbo, who was worried.

A hint of approval flashed across Xiao Wenbo's eyes when he looked at her, but when he turned around and looked at Xiao Mo, his eyes changed instantly.

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Your Majesty works day and night on state affairs, so how could he care about the family affairs of his subjects?"

Xiao Mo looked at him silently, with waves in her eyes. She didn't want to argue with him, she just wanted to know what had happened before.

"Father, could you please tell me what Mother has done that you would punish her in such a disgraceful way?"

On this side, Xiao Wenbo, who had calmed down for a while, was no longer as tense as before, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Murong Shu was still as cold as ever.

"Today, when I was away from home, the Lu family sent someone to propose marriage. You, my good mother, accepted it without even consulting me. Tell me, should she be punished?"

Xiao Mo turned her head slightly and looked at Murong Shu beside her indifferently. Recalling her previous words that she wanted to marry Lu Huai, a trace of loss flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Wenbo was so angry that he slapped the corner of the table angrily and said, "If the person seeking marriage was Xiang'er, it would be fine, but that little bastard is after you."

Xiao Mo didn't quite understand this sentence. She thought Xiao Wenbo looked down on the Lu family, but why did he say that marrying Xiao Xiang was okay?

Xiao Mo looked at the mother and daughter sitting opposite her, her eyes flashed, and they subconsciously lowered their heads.

It seems that Murong Shu’s punishment was due to their instigation.

"The Lu family is a large family that has been in business for generations. They are rich enough to rival a country. Why doesn't my father want me to marry into their family?"

She just wanted to know the reason and didn't want Xiao Wenbo to think that she wanted to marry Lu Huai.

Xiao Wenbo glared at her angrily, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Although you didn't grow up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are still my legitimate daughter. How can you marry a businessman casually?"

He clapped his hands in frustration, "Prince Jin is deeply in love with you and has repeatedly asked the Emperor to marry you. Why don't you try to fight for it?"

Xiao Mo listened silently until Xiao Wenbo said Qi Yue's name.

She frowned slightly and looked at him in disbelief: "After all this talk, you're actually planning on Qi Yue?"

"He is the future crown prince, the future emperor. Many women want to marry him even as concubines, but he won't even look at them.

Now his heart and eyes are all about you, don’t you know how to seize the opportunity? How can a wealthy family be the mother of the country... "

"Father! Do you know what you are saying?"

Seeing that Xiao Wenbo's words were getting more and more outrageous, Xiao Mo quickly interrupted him.

After realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Xiao Wenbo put away his dreamy face and walked up to Xiao Mo with a smile.

"What being a father means is that you have to choose between wealth and power. A rich person only has money, but a powerful person has both power and wealth.

We can’t be people who buy whatever we want, we have to be people who have whatever we want delivered to us.”

Xiao Mo sneered and looked at him indifferently: "I don't like him and don't want to be with him."

"Don't be ungrateful. Considering that he still has feelings for you, strike while the iron is hot and marry into Prince Jin's mansion as his princess. When Prince Jin ascends the throne, you will be..."

"Father!" she shouted angrily, but Xiao Wenbo had no intention of stopping.

"If you don't seize this great opportunity now, and he loses interest in you in the future, it will be difficult for you to become Princess Jin again."

Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Xiao Mo simply turned her attention to Xiao Xiang.

"I never said I wanted to be the Princess of Jin. I'm not your only daughter. Doesn't Xiao Xiang love him to death?

Let her go. If she marries into Prince Jin's mansion, your wish will come true."

These words made Xiao Wenbo choke, and Murong Shu kept pulling her sleeve from behind.

When Xiao Xiang heard her words, her face turned red. The thought of marrying Qi Yue made her feel like her heart was about to jump out.

After a while, Lin walked cautiously to Xiao Wenbo, stroked her back and scolded Xiao Mo.

"Your father is doing this for your own good. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you made him so angry. You're really an unfilial daughter."

Xiao Mo tilted her head and looked at her coldly, with a slight smile on her lips: "If you want to get married so much, then go ahead. I just don't know if he wants you."

"Master, look at her. I was just telling the truth, and she just, she insulted me like that, wuwuwu."
