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

Xiao Mo was injured and felt a little tired after standing for so long. She didn't want to waste time talking to them, so she turned around and wanted to help Murong Shu, but Xiao Wenbo came forward and stopped her.

She frowned and looked sideways at him: "Father, what do you mean? It's up to me to decide who I want to marry and who I don't want to marry. It's useless for you to punish mother."

Xiao Wenbo stared at her coldly, raising his eyebrow: "If that's the case, then you should take the punishment for her."

Xiao Mo glanced at him indifferently, bent down to help Murong Shu up, then knelt straight down where Murong Shu had been kneeling before.

Seeing her so unyielding and stubborn, he felt very angry.

In his opinion, he thought she should be submissive to him like Xiao Xiang, but she had her own opinions, which always made him feel uncomfortable.

"Madame Liu, from today on, you will be responsible for supervising the young lady's punishment. She has offended her elders and is disobedient and unfilial. For half a month, she will kneel at the backyard gate for a full hour every day."

"Yes." Matron Liu responded with a smile, her eyes full of knife-like intent as she looked at Xiao Mo.

She is Lin's person. Now Xiao Wenbo has ordered her to be punished. Those concubines and servants who are enemies of Murong Shu will definitely seize this opportunity to take revenge.

However, in Xiao Mo's opinion, they only knew a few tricks, and maybe those little tricks could help her relieve her boredom.

Lin and Xiao Xiang walked past Xiao Mo arm in arm, with smug looks on their faces.

After they left, Murong Shu quickly bent down and tried to help Xiao Mo up.

Nanny Liu, who was standing not far away, walked up to her in a businesslike manner.

"Madam, please don't make this servant feel awkward. If you make me unhappy, the punishment won't be as simple as kneeling."

Xiao Mo didn't even look at her. She held Murong Shu's hand tightly and patted it: "Don't worry, mother. It's just kneeling for a while. Compared to going to the battlefield, this is nothing."

Murong Shu looked at her with tears in her eyes: "It's my fault that I have implicated you."

She held Xiao Mo in her arms, but accidentally touched the wound on her shoulder.

In order not to be discovered by her, she gritted her teeth, groaned, and quickly pushed her away: "Mother, I'm hungry and want to eat osmanthus cake."

Murong Shu nodded with tears in her eyes: "I'll do it for you right away."

Nanny Liu kept her chin up, her mouth tilted, and she glanced sideways with an arrogant look.

When Shen Yun came back happily with a big bag of Chinese herbal medicine, she saw Xiao Mo kneeling and Madam Liu standing beside her.

Her expression changed, she hugged the thing in her hand tightly and ran over: "Miss, why are you kneeling here, you..."

"Take the medicine back and boil it." Xiao Mo interrupted her quickly.

She didn't want others to know that she was injured, especially those who wanted to laugh at her.

Shen Yun turned her head with an unfriendly look at the arrogant Matron Liu not far away, but was stopped by Xiao Mo before she could say anything.

"I'll tell you about my story tonight. Don't ask anything. Go back and boil the medicine first."

Although her eyes were full of questions, since her young lady had said so, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After a while, Murong Shu came out with the freshly made osmanthus cake.

On the corridor, she met Shen Yun who was carrying a medicine bag.

Shen Yun subconsciously hid the thing behind her, but Murong Shu thought it was the medicine prescribed for Qi Yue.

"Is it Prince Chen's medicine again?"

Shen Yun laughed dryly and relaxed his hands: "Yes, yes."

"Then go quickly." Murong Shu walked past her with a smile. Only then did she remember that she should ask her about Xiao Mo.

She put the medicine bag in the corner of the kitchen, turned around and ran towards the front hall.

Murong Shu happily brought the osmanthus cake to Xiao Mo and handed her a pair of chopsticks: "It's fresh out of the pot, eat it while it's hot."

Xiao Mo raised a faint smile and took the chopsticks and was about to pick up something when the plate was kicked over by Aunt Liu.

"Miss, have you forgotten that you are being punished?" She glared at Xiao Mo fiercely.

Xiao Mo also glared at her with anger: "Father only told me to kneel, but he didn't say he wouldn't give me food. Whose instructions did you follow?"

After saying that, she didn't give Madam Liu a chance to speak. She reached out and grabbed her wrist, then stabbed the chopsticks hard into the back of her foot.

Aunt Liu rolled on the ground in excruciating pain, wailing and crying.

Xiao Mo threw the chopsticks in her hand at her face with a cold face: "Who do you think you are? The only people who can discipline me in this mansion are the Prime Minister and his wife.

Don't think you can ride on my head just because I've been taught by the family. There's a difference between high and low. Even if I'm punished, I'm still your master."

Aunt Liu's heart was trembling with pain. Although she didn't hear clearly what she said, she nodded repeatedly out of fear.

Murong Shu was also shocked by her actions and froze, but soon calmed down.

"Come here, take Madam Liu away."

When Shen Yun ran out, she just saw Xiao Mo stabbing Aunt Liu's foot with chopsticks.

She shuddered, quickened her pace and ran over: "Miss, are you okay?"

Xiao Mo pressed down her hand that was about to check her wound and smiled softly at her: "I'm fine. Where's the medicine I asked you to boil?"

"I put it in the kitchen, I'll be right there."

Seeing that she was full of energy and still had the strength to deal with people, she finally put her worries to rest.

In the evening, Xiao Wenbo heard that Xiao Mo had seriously injured Aunt Liu, and wanted to use family rules without any investigation. In desperation, Murong Shu explained the specific situation at that time.

Lin lay beside Xiao Wenbo with tears and snot, crying so sadly.

Xiao Mo took a rest after eating, and was just about to take a bath when she was called to the front yard.

My already unhappy mood became even worse after I learned that it was because of Aunt Liu.

As soon as she appeared, Xiao Wenbo shouted at her to kneel down.

She tilted her head and looked at him expressionlessly, "Let's talk about the matter first."

"I asked Aunt Liu to watch over you while you were being punished, so why did you stab her foot with chopsticks?!"

"Huh, you know I used chopsticks, so why don't you ask why I used chopsticks?"

Xiao Wenbo was stunned by her counter-question: "Why?"

Xiao Mo sighed speechlessly and walked to the side to sit down: "I'm hungry and want to eat something. That old waste kicked me over.

I didn't stand up and strangle her because of your kindness. What does that mean? The master who is punished is no longer the master?"

She said the last sentence to Lin.

Xiao Wenbo narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Mo for a while before speaking again: "Then you can't be so harsh! She is already an elder in the mansion."

"You were the one who taught me to put myself in the right place. Since she is an elder in the mansion, she should set an example. If she bullies a master who is being punished or has a weak character, even death is the punishment."

After hearing her arrogant yet reasonable remarks, Xiao Wenbo didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin wiped her tearful face and raised her head from Xiao Wenbo's arms: "Young lady, you are too overbearing. The punishment of kneeling was ordered by the master. How can you take your anger out on an old maid?"

"Are you deaf? I was kneeling peacefully, and she kicked my bowl over with her foot. She should be thankful that I was kneeling as punishment, otherwise I would have broken her legs."

Xiao Mo looked at her with contempt, then suddenly curled her lips into a smile: "Or, did she dare to do this at your instruction?"

Lin lowered her eyes guiltily, her gaze wandering as she wanted to pounce on Xiao Wenbo again.

Xiao Mo clicked her tongue twice and curled her lips: "You are so old and still act like a little girl. Aren't you ashamed?"

Xiao Wenbo rubbed his brows impatiently: "Enough!"

"Father didn't say I couldn't eat while kneeling, did he? So I'm not wrong in this matter. If I'm not wrong, I'm going to go back and rest."

After saying that, she raised her chin slightly, glanced at Lin with disdain, and strode out of everyone's sight.
