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

Xiao Mo leisurely poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and then looked up at her: "They brought this upon themselves, why are you pitying them for no reason?"

"But your father was also demoted. Although he got to the position of Prime Minister because of your uncle, he also worked very hard.

Now that he has been dragged into this matter, how sad he must be!

Mo'er, go and beg the Emperor to restore your father's position as Prime Minister!"

Murong Shu's words became more and more outrageous. Xiao Mo rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "How can I change the emperor's order casually?"

"Then go and ask Prince Jin or Prince Chen for mercy. They will definitely find a way to intercede."

"Mother, please put away your worthless pity." Xiao Mo put down the things in her hand and turned sideways to look at her face to face.

"Why was your delivery delayed when you were pregnant with me? Why did you suddenly go into labor when the storm came?

And why, when I was born, there were rumors of a demon child being born in the palace?

Who was taking care of you every day when you were about to give birth? Did you never suspect or investigate?

After hearing what Xiao Mo said, Murong Shu's face changed.

"Of course I suspected it and checked it, but I didn't find anything." Her eyes moistened and she took Xiao Mo's hand: "How did you find out?"

"I overheard her talking to Xiao Xiang. She even said that if she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have been so lenient back then."

Xiao Mo sighed, pulled out her hand and placed it on her: "If you can't find something, can't your father find it? Or maybe he hasn't checked it at all."

Murong Shu stared at her in a daze, unable to say anything, as if her throat was stuck.

"After hearing this, do you still feel sorry for them?" Xiao Mo looked at her deeply.

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "I thought she was just vying for favor and being arrogant and domineering, but it turns out that she has wanted to kill me for a long time."

After learning the truth, Murong Shu was unable to breathe for a long time. Xiao Mo knew that she needed time to digest it, so she asked her personal maid to help her back to her yard.

Looking at her dejected figure, Shen Yun walked to Xiao Mo with distressed eyes: "Miss, aren't you being too cruel?"

"She's not a child. Besides, I don't believe she hasn't had doubts before. I just broke the window paper of her self-deception."

Although Xiao Mo said it casually, the heartache in her eyes was no less than Shen Yun's.

No one in the mansion slept well that night.

The next day, Lin and Xiao Xiang were sent back.

The maids said that they had not changed their clothes, their arms were hanging outside the stretcher, blood was dripping from every fingertip, their eyes were closed, and their faces were as pale as death.

Xiao Wenbo did not go to see them, but directly ordered them to be locked up in the abandoned hospital.

But considering the past relationship between husband and wife, he still asked someone to find a doctor.

Xiao Mo didn't care about their miserable situation at all. Thinking that Lu Huai was implicated in this matter, she bought some gifts and planned to go to Lu's house.

When Lu Huai heard the servant informing him that Xiao Mo had arrived, he was still a little bit unconvinced.

Lu Yao had just returned from shopping. Seeing Xiao Mo and Shen Yun, she happily ran up to them like a child and took their arms.

"Sister, you're here! My brother should be at home. Come on, let's go in."

Xiao Mo responded to her enthusiasm somewhat helplessly, and was half-heartedly pulled to the yard where Lu Huai lived.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she called out to Lu Huai loudly: "Brother, look who's here."

Hearing the voice, Lu Huai walked to the door of the room. Seeing that it was really Xiao Mo, the expression on his face changed immediately.

He came out with a smile and politely invited Xiao Mo into the house to chat.

Xiao Mo shook her hand to decline, glanced at the stone table next to her, smiled and walked over to sit down.

Men and women should not touch each other. How could she, an unmarried girl, casually enter the room of a man who has no wife or concubine?

Seeing her concerns, Lu Huai stopped forcing her and immediately ordered someone to bring some tea and snacks.

"I wonder why Miss Xiao suddenly came to visit?"

Xiao Mo observed his expression and smiled: "Can I take your pulse?"

As soon as she said this, Lu Huai knew why she came to see him.

But no matter what the reason was, he was very happy.

"Okay." He stretched out his hand, showing his wrist, and looked at her with a smile.

Xiao Mo raised her hand to his pulse, carefully felt it, then withdrew her hand and smiled: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Huai adjusted his cuffs and shook his head: "Apart from the occasional weakness in my hands and feet, there's nothing else wrong."

Xiao Mo listened and nodded, then reached out to Shen Yun behind her: "This is the medicine I prescribed for you. You will recover in three to five days."

Lu Huai looked at the thing she handed over with surprise and took it with both hands.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. That day, I drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician and I'm much better now."

"The person who drugged you has been found, and the emperor has personally issued an order to punish you. No matter what, this happened in my house. How can I just ignore it?"

Xiao Mo finished speaking seriously, picked up the freshly brewed tea in front of her and took a sip: "This tea is very fragrant."

She deliberately changed the subject, not wanting to discuss that matter with him any further.

Hearing her praise, Lu Huai smiled and curved his eyebrows: "This is just ordinary West Lake Longjing. If you like it, I will give you some, Yaoyao..."

As he was about to ask Lu Yao to get it, Xiao Mo quickly stopped him: "Wait, I, I don't, I'm not..."

Lu Huai was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Don't feel embarrassed, you helped my mother heal her leg, and I haven't thanked you properly yet.

I gave you money but you don't want it, so just accept these worthless things. Yaoyao, go to the teahouse and pack some West Lake Longjing tea."

Lu Yao agreed happily and ran out with her maid.

After watching her leave, Xiao Mo turned around awkwardly and curled her lips at him: "Actually, there's really no need."

"Did you come here today just to visit me?" Lu Huai didn't want to continue discussing this issue with her, so he turned the conversation back to the topic that Xiao Mo avoided.

She tilted her head and smiled, looking at the teacup in her hand helplessly.

"I've already told you that it's my job to understand your physical condition after what happened to you in my house."
