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

Chapter 127 I Can’t Serve Others

Xiao Mo bit her lip in anger and laughed, then picked up a piece of steaming hot blood sausage and stuffed it into his mouth in the blink of an eye.

It was so hot that he quickly spat it out: "You're going to burn me to death!"

"I'm sorry, I've never served anyone before, so I don't understand." Xiao Mo confidently picked up another piece of boiled fish fillet and pretended to feed him.

He leaned back, frowned, and put his hands in front of him: "If it's hot, just blow it!"

“This isn’t hot.”

"In the palace, the maids have to pick out the fish bones when they serve the master fish."

Xiao Mo looked at him coldly: "I'm not a palace maid, I can't pick fish bones, you have so many things to do, you pick it yourself."

Qi Yue was not annoyed by her words: "Then let's change to Dongpo pork."

Xiao Mo quietly put the fish fillets into the bowl and picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and handed it to his mouth.

Qi Yue dodged for a moment and pushed Xiao Mo's hand away: "Cut it in the middle, I like to eat the skin."

Xiao Mo suppressed her anger, closed her eyes and glared at him: "Do you want me to chew it up and feed it to you?"

"That's fine if you're willing. I don't mind." Qi Yue smiled innocently, as if Xiao Mo had come up with some good idea.

Looking at his cunning face, Xiao Mo stuffed the meat into his mouth while he was not paying attention: "If you don't find it disgusting, I do!"

He chuckled and said, "I want to eat some fried chicken. Remember to remove the bones before feeding me."

Xiao Mo looked at him coldly and put her chopsticks down heavily on the table: "I am not worthy of serving you. Please find someone else."

After saying that, she took advantage of his unpreparedness and slipped out from behind him.

Qi Yue wanted to call her, but seeing that she left so quickly, he gave up.

After Xiao Mo left, Yuan Mu came out from the corner and looked at the mess on the table with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Highness?"

Qi Yue stared at the direction where Xiao Mo left, and there was no smile on his face anymore.

"Shen Hanzhou is gone, and here comes Lu Huai. Yuan Mu, what do you think? Should I take action?"

Yuan Mu recalled the scene they had just seen downstairs and analyzed it carefully in his mind.

"Your Highness, I think there is absolutely no need for you to take action. He is different from Shen Hanzhou, and General Xiao's mentality is also different from before."

"What do you mean?" Qi Yue raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

He lowered his eyes slightly and slowly expressed his thoughts.

"General Xiao had no one in his heart before, but Shen Hanzhou was always around him, so she couldn't help but be moved.

But now General Xiao has someone in his heart, and they don't see each other every day.

The most important thing is that I think Mr. Lu doesn't seem to have that kind of interest in General Xiao.

You see, he just left early to give you and General Xiao a chance to be alone together."

"No, the way he looked at Xiao Mo wasn't the way ordinary friends would look at each other. Perhaps he was smart and knew the consequences of becoming my enemy, so he voluntarily withdrew."

Although what Yuan Mu said made sense, he was wrong about one thing, that is, Lu Huai definitely did not have that kind of intention towards Xiao Mo.

He just knew that he had no chance at all, and Xiao Mo didn't like him. Instead of having a bad relationship, it would be better for both parties to become good friends.

Qi Yue came back to his senses and his eyes fell on Xiao Mo who had just left the restaurant: "Go and find out what she is doing here and what kind of deal she has with Lu Huai."

"Yes."

After leaving, Xiao Mo did not go to Qi Minxiu, but went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to check her small treasury.

In both battles, the emperor rewarded her with many priceless items and gold ingots.

She usually dressed simply and had little use for her money, so she buried all her possessions in a jewel-encrusted box.

Only Shen Yun and Murong Shu knew where these things were.

Xiao Mo called Shen Yun, handed her a hoe, and carried one herself.

Shen Yun took the hoe with a confused look on her face and looked at her: "Miss, what are we going to do?"

"Go get some money."

"Ah? You mean, dig out the vault? But where would we need so much money?"

As they walked, Xiao Mo said, "Even though Lu Huai said he doesn't want money for the house in Taohua Lane, I can't really refuse it."

Shen Yun didn't understand what she meant, so she quickened her pace and walked side by side with her.

"But he said he didn't refuse the money for no reason. He gave it to you as a reward for curing Mrs. Lu's leg disease."

"No merit, no reward. Her mother's injury was just a minor one. How could it be worth so much money?"

After a few words, the two walked to the place where the treasure was buried.

Xiao Mo started digging without saying a word. Shen Yun didn't try to persuade her after hearing what she said.

"Yun, you've seen the house over in Taohua Lane. How much do you think it's worth?"

Xiao Mo grunted while digging and asked Shen Yun.

Even she didn't know about this, so how could Shen Yun know?

She shook her head, stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "This must be known by those who do business."

Xiao Mo pursed her lips and nodded: "Dig quickly."

The two of them worked for half a day and finished work near dusk.

Shen Yun looked at the gold jewelry scattered all over the floor and twitched her lips unconsciously: "Miss, this is too much."

After Xiao Mo buried the remaining things, she squatted down and sorted the gold and silver treasures on the ground: "Yun, what are you standing there for? Take these back to the house."

They had torn a piece of cloth from the ground before digging, and now each person only needed to hold the two corners to easily pull everything together.

"I don't know if this is enough, eh."

When Shen Yun heard Xiao Mo's sigh, her jaw almost dropped.

"Miss, I don't know if this money is enough to buy that house, but any one of these things is enough for me to live for a lifetime!"

"I know these things are precious, but houses are different from clothes and jewelry."

Xiao Mo and Shen Yun walked into the room while talking.

After resting for a while, Shen Yun carefully admired the various exquisite jewellery on the table.

She clicked her tongue and shook her head: "What a pity, what a pity, our young lady is such a stubborn person, ah."

Xiao Mo was drinking tea. When she heard her words, she glared at her: "What did you say?"

"That's right. Look at these things, they are so beautiful, and you're giving them away before you even enjoy them."

"It's not free, they gave me the house."

Shen Yun pouted and rolled her eyes at her: "So that's why you're so stubborn! Even though they said they don't want the money anymore, you're still forcing it on me."
