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

Chapter 175 Aunt Lin fell into the water

After returning to Suqiyuan, Xiao Mo locked herself in the room and did not allow anyone to come in.

Shen Yun went to deal with Lin, so naturally he couldn't accompany her.

She sat on the bed, staring at the ground with empty eyes, and recalled what Lin had just said over and over in her mind.

She thought she had been smart all her life, but she was fooled by fate.

I can’t believe how Murong Shu feels when she sees how nice she is to Feng Zhiqiu.

In order to consider her feelings, she pretended to be grateful to her even though she clearly hated her.

If she were Murong Shu, she would have gone crazy long ago.

After Shen Yun dealt with Lin's affairs, he hesitated when passing by Murong Shu's yard.

She thought that since this matter was related to her, there was no reason to hide what had just happened from her.

Besides, Xiao Mo must be feeling very uncomfortable now. It should be better if Murong Shu can comfort her.

When Murong Shu heard Shen Yun report to her that Xiao Mo already knew about Feng Zhiqiu, her eyes were filled with both joy and heartache.

It has been so long since Xiao Mo came back from Qinshan, but she has never seen her care so much about anyone.

Feng Zhiqiu means a lot to her. Now that she knows the truth, she must be very sad.

Thinking of this, Murong Shu did not dare to delay for a moment and trotted all the way to Suqiyuan.

Xiao Mo huddled at the head of the bed. When she heard the door open, she coldly shouted, "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone in? Get out!"

Murong Shu walked around the screen without saying a word and came in front of her: "Mo'er."

After listening to Murong Shu calling her for so long, she had never felt that the voice was so warm.

Seeing her so hurt, Murong Shu felt so distressed.

"Mother!" Xiao Mo sniffed, and her mood, which had just adjusted, instantly became aggrieved again.

Murong Shu quickly stepped forward and hugged her in her arms, gently patting her back: "It's okay, Mo'er, don't be sad."

"It hurts so much here. Why is it that the person who saved me and hurt me is the same person? Why?"

She pointed to her heart and clutched the clothes on her face tightly.

Murong Shu lowered her eyes with a look of heartache and tightened her grip: "It's mother's fault. Mother should have told you the truth from the beginning."

Xiao Mo buried her face in her arms and burst into tears: "I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't mean to bring her back to anger you."

"I know, I know everything. She saved you. You are a sentimental child."

"But she has hurt you and me too. I don't know what to do."

Murong Shu rocked her gently, coaxing her like a child.

"Mo'er, do you know? When we first separated, I dreamed of coaxing you like this, but every time I woke up from the dream, there was only a pillow sleeping next to me."

Xiao Mo was touched by her words and sobbed even louder.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for reminding you of the painful past."

"Silly child, why are you apologizing? It's not your fault." Murong Shu comforted her softly.

Xiao Mo stopped talking and cried bitterly on her shoulder.

She knew Murong Shu wanted Feng Zhiqiu to die, but she couldn't.

Because no matter what Feng Zhiqiu had done before, she had indeed saved her.

Without her careful care, she would not be who she is today.

But if you think about it from another perspective, if Feng Zhiqiu had not drugged Murong Shu, she would not have been sent away.

My life as a young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be completely different from what it is now. It is hard to say which is better or worse.

This is what makes Xiao Mo distressed, worried and sad.

Due to the cycle of karma, she didn't know whether she should kill her to avenge Murong Shu and her infant self.

I will continue to treat her like a family member, just to repay her for saving my life under the cliff.

Murong Shu saw her concerns and didn't say anything more. She just hugged her quietly and let her vent her emotions.

After crying until she was tired, Xiao Mo slept for a while. When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.

She hadn't figured out how to face Feng Zhiqiu yet, so she still locked herself in the room.

She didn't want to see her until she could think of a better solution.

Shen Yun was by her side and felt very distressed when she saw her distraught and yet forcing herself to smile.

Ever since she knew about Feng Zhiqiu's existence, she had never seen Xiao Mo give her a cold shoulder or say harsh words.

This shows how high her position is in her heart.

However, the person who saved your life is the same person who harmed you. It would be unpleasant for anyone to feel this way.

She really wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to start.

Xiao Mo sat by the window in a daze, and suddenly remembered what Murong Shu often did.

She called Shen Yun over, stood up and walked to the desk: "I want to copy Buddhist scriptures, please prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me."

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't understand, she still went.

In the past, Murong Shu would go to the Buddhist temple whenever she had time, and when she had nothing to do, she would copy Buddhist scriptures in the house, saying that she was praying for her family.

At that time, she scoffed and said she never believed it.

But now she was confused. Was it really because she had never revered the gods and Buddhas that she had suffered such an experience?

Xiao Mo was thinking this in her heart. Just as she picked up the brush, she heard the anxious voice of the maid outside.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! It's bad, Aunt Lin fell into the water!"

She put down her things, walked to the door and looked for a while. After making sure that Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu had gone there, she took Shen Yun and followed them.

At this time, Lin had already been fished out of the lake.

The maids and servants gathered around her and whispered to each other. They only quieted down and made way for her after Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu arrived.

"What's going on?" Xiao Wenbo walked through the crowd with an anxious look on his face and came up to Lin.

When he looked down and saw the person on the ground, besides the distress and regret in his eyes, he also felt his stomach churning.

You can tell at a glance that this person didn't just drown.

Xiao Wenbo glanced angrily at the servants around him: "Where is the maid responsible for taking care of Aunt Lin?"

In the crowd, a pretty woman stood up tremblingly and knelt on the ground.

"My Lord, I am the maid who is responsible for taking care of Aunt Lin.

This morning, Aunt Lin said she felt dizzy and wanted to sleep, and I was waiting by her bedside.

But she kept making a fuss and said she didn't want the servant to stay and drove her out.

At noon, the servant wanted to wake her up for dinner, but she was sleeping soundly, so she gave up.

Later, when I went to see her, I found that there was no one on the bed, but the window was open.

Aunt Lin has been acting like a child since she lost consciousness. I don't know when she ran away.

I searched everywhere but couldn't find him. I didn't expect that he had slipped and fallen into the lake."

The maid was frightened and blamed herself, so she suppressed her tears and sobbed continuously.

At this time, Xiao Mo and Shen Yun came up from beside Murong Shu.
