Quickly wear it with your skills

When Qi Linmu saw her like this, just her back seemed to reveal infinite grievances. He also wondered if he had said too harshly?

It is normal for a woman to feel some resentment after experiencing such a major event as property division and separation, blaming herself for overreacting just now.

But as an emperor, he couldn't apologize, so he said stiffly, "Alright, it's getting late, and I have to attend court tomorrow, so you might as well get some rest. Don't overthink it, I'll still be there for you."

Then he left without looking back. After hearing that there was indeed no other sound outside, Lan Hanlu relaxed and lay down on the couch.

Regarding this matter, she could neither appear too cold and ruthless in front of the emperor, nor appear to be lingering about it, nor could she arouse the emperor's too much interest.

Because he is the biggest scumbag in the world.

At this time, the air pressure in the entire general's mansion was extremely low. Lou Xiao was living in the study in the front yard. His eyes seemed to be staring at a certain place, but they were not focused.

The scenes of his time with Lan Hanlu kept appearing in his mind. He married the little girl and they would live and die together. He never thought that the two of them would be separated.

As for Qiao Chuxue, he admitted that he had a momentary affection for her, but that was not enough to shake Lan Hanlu's position in his heart and family.

He knew that Lan Hanlu was overbearing in such matters, and he just thought that she would be a little angry, but he would let Lulu know that he was the one she loved the most, and her position as the mistress of the general's mansion would not be shaken in any way.

He originally wanted to stop Lulu from leaving, but Lulu's words, "Lou Xiao, I don't want dirty things. I'm afraid of making me sick," sent him straight to hell.

He knew that was Lan Hanlu's most correct expression, because when she said this, the disgust in her eyes was not concealed at all.

Suddenly, Lou Xiao laughed softly, and as he laughed, the corners of his eyes turned red.

At this time, a conversation was heard outside, "Is the general in there? I want to bring him some hot soup to warm his stomach. He hasn't eaten anything all day." Qiao Chuxue's gentle voice came.

But Lou Xiao didn't react at all. The guard at the door then spoke up. "Miss Qiao, no one is allowed to enter the general's study without the general's order."

The voice was flat and without any status. After all, Qiao Chuxue had not yet been taken into the mansion, so she could only be addressed as "Miss" as a respectful title.

But being called this honorific title now is a real humiliation. If she still can't have a status in the capital tomorrow, it will be difficult for her to make a name for herself.

This was also the reason why she wanted to go into the study with the soup in her hand. As long as she had a status, it didn't matter if she suffered some grievances now, because she would get them back one by one in the future.

If she couldn't even bear this little bit of grievance, how could she have returned to the capital step by step? She didn't want to stay in that poor and remote place anymore, being tortured by her elder and second sisters-in-law.

She also had to be on guard against them at all times, hoping they would sell her out. She didn't want to see those disgusting men looking at her with their disgusting gazes. Thinking of this, her heart hardened a little.

"Young man, I really just went to deliver a bowl of soup to the general. Can you please inform the general?" Her gentle tone was a little tearful.

The gatekeeper said the same thing. "The general has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the study."

Qiao Chuxue knew that even if Lou Xiao was sleeping, he would have heard it with his alertness. The fact that he hadn't said anything yet was a sign of rejection.

But some things can only be put aside and solved bit by bit by meeting in person. If he doesn't meet, he's really afraid that Lou Xiao will kick him out for Lan Hanlu.

Because she saw the affection in Lou Xiao's eyes when he faced Lan Hanlu, which was a different emotion from when he faced her. Although she was jealous, she was more sober and knew that a man's feelings could never be relied upon.

She didn't need Lou Xiao to love her much, she just needed Lou Xiao to have a little bit of affection and guilt towards her, and she could use this little bit to leverage her position in the mansion.

This is what she wanted and she was very clear-headed.

So she pretended to sigh. "If the general comes out, please ask someone to notify me. I want to go with him to see my sister.

Women always have more things to talk about; after all, they understand each other better. Okay, I'm going back now."

As he turned to leave, a hoarse voice came from inside the house. "Come in."

Although there were only three words, Qiao Chuxue, who had her back to the door, curled up the corners of her mouth. Then he straightened his expression, turned around, and walked towards the study step by step.

The next day, as expected, news came out that the general and his wife had divided their property separately, and even the reason why the general wanted to take the former prime minister's youngest daughter as a concubine was revealed.

Most people said that Lan Hanlu was making a fuss out of nothing, but two of her good friends wrote her letters of comfort.

After Lan Hanlu received the two letters, the smile on her face was the most genuine. She always said before that she didn't need others to understand her, but when someone truly understands you, the joy that comes with it is something that nothing else can give you.

She looked at the two gift boxes on the table, which contained jewelry of her favorite styles. She rubbed them gently with her hands. She wanted to put these two in the space.

"Madam Huang, how is the person I asked you to train?" She asked casually, fiddling with the beads on the headdress with her hands.

Upon hearing this, Madam Huang bowed slightly. "Miss, the candidates have been selected, but they have just completed their initial training. However, the young ladies are all quite clever and have learned well."

"Well, you've worked so hard, Ma'am. You're so old, but you're still busy running around for me. Although I will definitely take care of you in your old age, I think you still need someone to accompany you.

How about this, Madam Huang, I'll choose someone to be your goddaughter, to cultivate a relationship with her and to accompany you and take care of you in your old age." Lan Hanlu slowly stood up and turned to Madam Huang.

Upon hearing this promise, Madam Huang quickly knelt on the ground. "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I, your humble servant, would like to adopt Grape as my adopted daughter. Please grant my wish," she said, bowing her head.

Lan Hanlu actually noticed some signs, but both of them had their concerns. Now that she, as the boss, had taken the lead, everyone was naturally happy.

She reached out and helped Mammy up. "Mammy, you know I rely on you two the most. As long as you two don't betray me, I'm not a cruel person."

"This old slave is absolutely loyal to the young lady. I was once a second-class maid in the palace of the late Emperor Zhaoyi. I was released from the palace after Zhaoyi passed away.

My nephew originally said he would support me, but when I ran out of money, he actually sold me for food."
