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

Chapter 174 The Painful Truth

Feng Zhiqiu glared at her angrily, clenching his fists nervously: "I didn't expect that you were still alive."

"Humph, I am the second wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, of course I am alive, Feng Zhiqiu, you are so capable, you actually got close to Xiao Mo, a big tree.

But it seems that she doesn't know your identity yet, which is really interesting. I really want to see what her expression will be when she finds out your identity."

Lin approached Feng Zhiqiu, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was eerie and a little creepy.

Feng Zhiqiu retreated step by step, and before he knew it, even his breathing became rapid.

In the Eastern Military Camp, Xiao Mo couldn't wait to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion after finishing what she was supposed to do.

Today is Feng Zhiqiu’s first day moving in, and she wants to go back and see if there is anything she is not used to.

After entering the mansion, she did not return to her own Suqiyuan, but went directly to Feng Zhiqiu's yard next door.

Shen Yun was in a daze outside the yard. When she saw Xiao Mo coming, she happily went to greet her.

Xiao Mo glanced into the courtyard, frowned, and asked, "Why are you here alone? Where's Aunt Feng?"

"This morning, Madam asked Aunt Feng to go to her place. After she came back, Aunt Feng said she wanted to rest for a while and asked me not to stay with her, so I left."

"Is there something wrong with her?" Xiao Mo blurted out.

Shen Yun didn't even think about it and smiled, "No, there's nothing wrong with her. Madam just invited her to have breakfast."

Although Feng Zhiqiu had been controlling his expression and emotions well after leaving Murong Shu, anyone who was more careful could still see it at a glance.

Unfortunately, Shen Yun only had Xu Renchuan in her mind at that time and didn't pay any attention to her at all.

After hearing what Shen Yun said, Xiao Mo also felt that she was overthinking it: "So she is alone in the room now?"

"Not really. When I just came back, a maid said she was sent by the Madam to deliver snacks to Aunt Feng. She went in and never came out."

Shen Yun followed Xiao Mo's footsteps and suddenly remembered this matter.

Xiao Mo glanced at her, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Why don't you go in and take a look at the situation."

Although the maids in the mansion were safe and Lin, who wanted to hurt people, was locked up in a side courtyard, we still had to be on guard.

As she spoke, she strode towards the door of the room.

Shen Yun pouted and muttered softly, "I thought he was sent by Madam, and maybe he had something to tell Aunt Feng, so I didn't go in..."

Before she finished her words, she heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking in the room.

Xiao Mo's heart tightened, fearing that someone was going to commit a crime, so she quickly pushed open the door and rushed in.

Sure enough, a person dressed as a maid was strangling Feng Zhiqiu with her back to the door.

Feng Zhiqiu was pressed down on the table, and in his panic he knocked over the teacup on the table.

Xiao Mo walked forward quickly, pulled the maid away and kicked her to the ground. Before she had time to check on her, she went to care about Feng first.

Shen Yun, who came in later, changed his expression immediately when he saw that the person lying on the ground with his hands on his side and a look of pain was Lin.

"why you!"

Hearing her words, Xiao Mo turned her head and looked at the ground: "Why are you here?"

Lin stood up with the help of the ground and smiled sarcastically: "Of course I'm here to watch the show."

Xiao Mo didn't understand what she meant. She walked towards her with a cold face and clenched fists: "Then you can't have your wish come true."

As she said this, she wanted to raise her hand to hit her, but at the critical moment, Lin's words stopped her.

"Don't you want to know the relationship between me and her? She watched you being born!"

Lin pointed at Feng Zhiqiu and looked at Xiao Mo, smiling smugly.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Zhiqiu in disbelief.

If Feng Zhiqiu directly denied Lin's words at this time, she would believe her 100%.

But she didn't. Instead, her eyes turned red and she stepped back with a look of self-blame on her face.

Lin laughed crazily twice and limped to Feng Zhiqiu's side.

"When your mother was pregnant with you, she was responsible for taking care of your mother when she was about to give birth.

But for money, she drugged your mother every day, causing her to delay her delivery and eventually give birth to you on the day of the flood.

Your mother treated her as her closest relative and believed in her in everything. But in the end, the person she trusted the most gave her the most fatal blow.

Haha, I really want to see what Murong Shu's expression was when you brought this woman back home last night."

Lin tilted her head and smiled in a somewhat abnormal way.

Seeing Xiao Mo staring at her without saying a word, she continued, "Yes, that's right, I instructed her, haha

Xiao Mo, you are so pitiful. Not only did you lose your parents' love when you were young, but when you grew up, the only person you gave your heart to was the one who hurt you.

If I were you, I would just hit my head and die, hahahaha."

Xiao Mo narrowed her eyes, and the nails of her hands had already dug into her flesh without her noticing.

Shen Yun, like her, felt as if his brain was struck by lightning and his ears were buzzing.

She turned around with great heartache and looked at Feng Zhiqiu who was hiding behind her and crying.

"I just want to ask, is what she said true?"

Although Feng Zhiqiu cherishes their relationship, which is not that of mother and daughter but better than that of mother and daughter, she also knows that she cannot lie to her.

Her chin trembled, and she turned her head away and nodded slightly: "She is right, but I had my reasons at that time."

Xiao Mo's eyes were red, and she frowned and looked at her in confusion: "What hardship would make you want to harm a pregnant woman and her newborn baby?"

Feng Zhiqiu cried until she couldn't breathe and sobbed twice: "My daughter was seriously ill at that time and I had no money to treat her.

When she was critically ill, Lin found me and gave me some money to ask me to promise her one thing. For the sake of my daughter's life, I agreed without a second thought.

After the child had taken the medicine, she told me that what she wanted me to do was to put medicine in the Prime Minister's wife's pregnancy-preserving medicine. For the sake of my daughter, I had no choice but to agree.

But later, after you were framed and sent away by her, she not only did not fulfill her promise to give me the remaining money, but also hired someone to hunt me down.

As a last resort, I fled the city with my husband and seriously ill daughter."

The more Xiao Mo listened, the more pain she felt in her heart.

Looking back now, she finally understood that Feng Zhiqiu's repeated excuses before entering the mansion yesterday were due to his fear.

No wonder Murong Shu felt so uncomfortable after seeing her face clearly, and no wonder Lin tried every means to get rid of her.

No wonder she lived alone under a cliff so far away from the border and in such a remote place for twenty years.

It turns out that there is this relationship between them.

Xiao Mo gritted her teeth, holding onto the table with a somewhat unstable center of gravity: "Yun, Lin fell into the water and unfortunately drowned."

Shen Yun came to his senses, understood the meaning of her words, walked forward and knocked Lin unconscious with a single blow.

She took a last look at Feng Zhiqiu, who wanted to come forward but didn't dare, and staggered out of the room.
