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

Chapter 130 Misunderstanding

Even so, every brick and tile here carries her long-frozen memories.

So she cleaned the place up, especially the room where she had lived.

She fell asleep on the rotten wooden bed in her room until she was exhausted.

Feng Zhiqiu didn't dare to say this out loud, fearing that Xiao Mo would worry, and even more afraid that she would investigate, and after finding out something, she would disappointingly tell her, "So you are this kind of person."

Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Xiao Mo stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Aunt Feng, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, nothing." Feng Zhiqiu came back to his senses in a panic and chuckled at her unnaturally.

Qi Minxiu kept staring at her face intently.

This woman had lived under his nose for so many days, but he hadn't noticed that she might not be simple.

Other things would be fine, but if she intended to hurt Xiao Mo, he would not let her off easily even if she had saved Xiao Mo before.

Xiao Mo looked at Feng Zhiqiu with concern and shook her hand.

"We were supposed to move today, but I see you're not in a good mood, so let's move to another day."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Qi Minxiu: "What do you think, Ah Xiu?"

Qi Minxiu slowly withdrew his gaze, a faint smile on his lips: "If you're not feeling well, just rest more. We can move any day."

Feng Zhiqiu looked at them with a puzzled look on his face: "What moving?"

"Aunt Feng, I bought you a house in Taohua Lane on East Street in the south of the city."

Xiao Mo explained: "I have arranged four maids for you over there. They can accompany you when I am not around."

Feng Zhiqiu paused for a moment, then smiled and patted her hand: "Didn't I tell you that I will be back to Quancheng soon?"

"Now that you're here, why go back? Just stay here and relax. I can't be with you every day, but I'll visit you whenever I have time."

Xiao Mo persuaded her softly, hoping she would give up the idea of leaving.

Qi Minxiu saw Xiao Mo's anxious look and didn't want to say anything, but he still opened his mouth to try to persuade her.

"This is A-Mo's gift. Aunt Feng, please stay."

Feng Zhiqiu didn't want to stay, he just didn't dare to stay.

No one knows what happened to the people who chased her back then, whether they are still alive or not, or whether they still care about her life or death.

The embarrassment on her face made Xiao Mo frown again in confusion: "Aunt Feng, what are you worried about?"

Feng Zhiqiu shook his head and forced a smile: "No, it's just that I've lived in Quancheng for twenty years, I'm used to it, and I don't want to be exposed to new people and new things."

Xiao Mo came closer to her and looked at her carefully: "If that's the reason, then you should stay.

You are old, have no one around you, and live in such a remote place. If anything happens at home, there is no one to turn to for help."

Qi Minxiu echoed her words and continued: "If you insist on leaving, Amo will be distracted from her work in the imperial city.

If you have any unspeakable secrets, please tell me and I can help you."

He said this to give Feng Zhiqiu a chance to tell the truth.

As long as it is not related to Xiao Mo, he can help her with other things.

Qi Minxiu stared at Feng Zhiqiu's eyes intently, wanting to see how she would react when she heard this.

But she just took a breath, was silent for a moment, and then smiled and nodded: "I can stay, but I don't want to live in the place you mentioned."

"Where else do you want to go if not to my place?" Xiao Mo and Qi Minxiu looked puzzled at the same time.

"I..." She was about to talk about her old house, but suddenly remembered that she couldn't let them know, so she stopped talking.

"What?" Xiao Mo waited seriously for her next words.

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I'm just worried that you'll spend too much money."

"The house is not expensive, you can live here with peace of mind."

Xiao Mo stayed in Prince Chen's Mansion for half a day. If the servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion hadn't come to her and said that there was something in the mansion that needed her decision, she would not have gone back so early.

Seeing this, Feng Zhiqiu quickly said that he wanted to rest.

Seeing this, Qi Minxiu was curious about what exactly needed her decision, so he followed her.

Along the way, Xiao Mo was thinking in her mind what might need her to deal with personally.

Now she is just an idle general, it is unlikely that she is involved in state affairs...

But apart from these things, is there anything else that Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu cannot decide for her?

After returning to the Prime Minister's Residence, Xiao Mo had just dismounted when the maid from Suqiyuan rushed out from the door.

"Miss, the master and the mistress are waiting for you in the front hall!"

Xiao Mo turned around and glanced at Qi Minxiu who had caught up with her, her face full of questions.

Qi Minxiu raised his chin towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, motioning her to go in and take a look first.

In the front yard hall, Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu sat together in the main seat, a rare occurrence.

Sitting on both sides were Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Ma and their children.

Looking at this situation, could it be that she was discovered secretly buying a house?!

Guessing this possibility, Xiao Mo's expression changed slightly.

She was thinking of a countermeasure in her mind. Murong Shu saw her, quickly got up, walked out of the hall and pulled her in.

Qi Minxiu followed her into the hall. Although Xiao Wenbo didn't treat him as well as Qi Yue, he was a prince after all.

Seeing him coming, he still flattered him and bowed to him with his family and gave up the main seat.

After getting up, Murong Shu pulled Xiao Mo over again, her tone full of helplessness and worry.

"Mo'er, Mo'er, what have you been doing these days? You're not home every day.

You are not at Prince Chen's Mansion, nor at His Royal Highness's place. Do you have any other friends in this imperial city?"

Xiao Mo looked at her without saying a word, then turned her eyes to look at everyone present.

"I... went out to play. What's wrong? Why did you call me back just for this?" she asked tentatively.

Xiao Wenbo glanced at the things on the table next to him with a serious expression: "Since you like Prince Chen, you shouldn't provoke others anymore."

Xiao Mo looked back in the direction he was looking, confused, and saw many exquisite gift boxes of various sizes on the table.

She frowned in confusion: "Give it to me? Who gave it to me?"

Murong Shu angrily threw the handkerchief in her hand: "Lu Huai sent it, Mo'er, didn't you tell me that you don't like him?

How come after disappearing for a few days, Lu Huai, who had been quiet, is so enthusiastic about you again?

She said this as if she had been missing for the past few days because she was on a date with Lu Huai.
