MTL - Help! The General’s Gone Mad With Pampering Me-Chapter 4 gossip

  Chapter 4 Gossip

  The farce was over, and after a simple breakfast, Shen Li wandered around the yard.

  Earl's Mansion is not small, but there are not many family members. In the impression that in the past few years after Shen Hai's death, he relied on Zhong Ning's dowry shop for food and clothing.

  Looking at the situation, the economy in the mansion is not well off.

  Shen Li found a pavilion and sat down, leaning on the stone table with her chin propped on her arms, lost in thought.

  Before, she and Zhong Ning depended on each other for life, and they almost never left home.

   I have to say that although this method is crude, it is effective. If you don’t go out, others will never find trouble to find your door.

  Besides, at that time, Shen Li had a fiancé, who also supported the Shen family's appearance.

   But now that something happened to her, she broke up with the Jin family again, and the days to come may not be so clean.

  Shen Li raised her hand and pressed her forehead. Just as she sighed, she heard a bluffing sound not far away.

   "Miss, miss!"

   Shen Li raised her head and saw a familiar figure running towards her. After her vision cleared up, she tentatively said.

   "Xiaoshuang?"

  Xiaoshuang's face was flushed, and she looked travel-stained, as if she had just rushed over.

  When Shen Li called her name, her eyes were flushed, and she almost cried.

   "Miss, you can really speak."

  Shen Li nodded, but she didn't want to explain more about this matter. After all, this girl has been with the original owner for so many years, and Shen Li was afraid that if she said the wrong thing, she would show her flaws.

  If someone finds out that she is not the original Shen Li, it will be a serious matter.

  Shen Li took Xiaoshuang's hand affectionately, and changed the subject.

   "Why are you back?"

Xiaoshuang grabbed the skirt with the other hand, hesitating to speak, Zhong Ning came back after finding her today, and said that Shen Li had not married and went to the Jin family. She was surprised at first, but she didn't know until she entered the city and heard the gossip outside. Something happened to Shen Li.

   "Miss, Madam asked me to come back to serve you."

  Shen Li hooked the corners of her mouth, but she didn't expect that her stepmother was still careful.

  Xiaoshuang's childishness has not disappeared, and there is even a little baby fat on her face. Although no one can say that she looks amazing, she is still a Xiaojiabiyu. It can be seen that she has been raised very well in the Earl's Mansion these years.

   No wonder Jin Changqing misses it.

  Shen Li said with a smile.

   "Alright, anyway, Jin Changqing will have nothing to do with us in the future, so you don't have to be afraid of him anymore."

  When Jin Changqing was mentioned, Xiaoshuang's face showed embarrassment.

  When the wedding day was approaching, Jin Changqing actually proposed to let Xiaoshuang marry him as a housemate. At that time, Xiaoshuang turned pale with fright.

   As the saying goes, it is better to be a poor wife than a concubine of a rich family. Xiaoshuang also wants to find a good man to marry when she is old.

   Fortunately, Zhong Ning declined this matter. In order to prevent Jin Changqing from arguing against Xiaoshuang, Zhong Ning even asked her to go home for a while.

  Xiao Shuang looked at Shen Li's face, seeing that she wasn't annoyed at being abandoned by her husband's family at all, she seemed quite happy. Not knowing what she was thinking for a moment, he hesitated.

   "Miss, are you okay?"

  You can't hide things when you are young, and what you say in your heart is written on your face.

  Shen Li glanced at the courtyard wall in the distance, her voice was unhurried.

   "Why, there are rumors about me outside."

  Xiao Shuang pursed her lips, her face wrinkled together, she murmured with her head down.

   "What can I do in the future?"

  Under Shen Li's repeated questioning, Xiaoshuang told her about the rumors outside, which was actually within Shen Li's expectation.

   It was nothing more than saying that the Jin family did not dislike Shen Li's loss of innocence, but Shen Li didn't appreciate it. He not only insulted Jin's mother, but also drove her out.

   It is even rumored that Shen Li was insulted and stimulated, and now she has become crazy.

  Ao, by the way, Jin Changqing seems to be looking for a new wife.

  Shen Li doesn't even need to think about it, she knows who wrote this rumor

   To pass on a woman who has not left the cabinet like this, I have to say that the people behind it have sinister intentions.

  The ancients said, "Starvation to death is a small matter, but injustice is a major matter."

  Besides, the earl's mansion is full of women's relatives, which obviously does not leave a way for Shen Li and her mother to survive.

  Shen Li sneered.

   "Xiaoshuang."

  Xiao Shuang looked at Shen Li suspiciously.

   "What's the matter, Miss?"

  Shen Li said thoughtfully.

   "Has anyone sent invitations recently?"

  Although no one in the Earl's Mansion is an official in the court, but anyway, the name is there, and there is still a place in the Earl's Mansion for major and minor matters in Beijing.

   It's just that Shen Li and Zhong Ning have always lived in seclusion and never participated in those occasions.

  Xiao Shuang didn't know what Shen Li was going to do, so she just nodded in a daze.

   "Yes, in a few days to pray for blessings in Xiangshan, the empress invited many people, and the post has already been delivered."

  Earl's Court is of course among them.

   Shen Li's eyes flickered, as if she had an idea in her heart.

  …

   Jing Garden.

   "Look at you, even though I won the hussar general you dreamed of, you won't be decadent like this."

   Chu Xiong finished speaking in a joking tone, seeing that Si Yan still looked lifeless, he laughed dryly twice, and had nothing to say after a glass of wine.

   "Hey, will you go to Xiangshan to pray for blessings in two days? I heard that the flowers there bloom very well."

  Hearing this, Si Yan finally raised his eyelids, with suspicious eyes, and said in a cold voice.

   "Are you inviting me to enjoy the flowers together?"

   Chu Xiong's smile faded instantly, and he moved his **** in disgust, moving a little away from Si Yan.

   "I'm going to discuss marriage soon, of course go with the girl, who wants to enjoy the flowers with you old man."

  Thinking of that scene, he felt a chill from the inside out.

  Chu Xiong and Si Yan were in charge of the Western Territory Army and the Northern Territory Army. When they first met, they were not convinced by each other.

  After a long time, the relationship between the two eased, and they could even drink and eat meat together, but whenever something happened, Chu Xiong always liked to compete with Si Yan.

  For example, the position of the Hussar General, if Si Yan hadn’t been attacked by a mole during the battle at Yumen Pass, it would be uncertain who would sit there.

  Thinking of this, Chu Xiong glanced at the wheelchair Si Yan was sitting on, and asked seemingly casually.

   "You... really can't stand up?"

  Si Yan stared down at the wine glass, expressionless on his face.

   "As you can see, I can't leave my wheelchair now."

   Having said that, Si Yan raised his head and glanced at Chu Xiong, and asked him back.

   "So you said how should I climb the mountain?"

   Chu Xiong's mouth is notoriously stupid, not to mention that there is no comfort in this matter.

   Tell him it's okay and everything will be fine?

   But this is **** bullshit, no one knows better than him what legs mean to a general.

  Chu Xiong silently took a sip from his wine glass, thinking that Si Yan, who used to be a murderous **** on the battlefield, is now trapped in this place, and suddenly felt that the wine in his mouth was hard to swallow.

  Chu Xiong smashed his mouth, put the wine glass on the table, and said something casually.

   "Your wine is a bit bitter, so don't drink it."

  Si Yan pulled his lips, noncommittal.

   Just as the two were silent, there was a sudden noise in the yard.

  Guan Fu hurried into the house, his voice was not as steady as usual.

   "General, Lord Marquis is here."
