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

Chapter 165 Why do I feel a little numb?

The next day, when Xiao Mo woke up, she found Qi Minzheng sleeping soundly in her arms.

She tiptoed to remove the arm that was on her waist, but the arm seemed to be welded to her body and could not be pried open no matter how hard she tried.

She accidentally looked up and saw that Qi Minxiu had woken up at some point, and was holding up his head with a wicked smile on his face as he looked at her.

"You, you peeked at me?!"

"No, I didn't peek, I was watching openly."

Xiao Mo glared at him with gritted teeth and used all her strength to pull his hand away.

The next second, his legs were entangled by another pair of strong and powerful legs.

Although they were both wearing pants, the contact separated by only two layers of gauze still made Xiao Mo blush.

"You, if you had known earlier, you shouldn't have cured your leg!"

Qi Minxiu didn't care about her words at all, but was rather amused by it: "But you've been cured, don't worry, not only these legs, but even I will be yours from now on."

Xiao Mo's face turned even redder at his words: "What are you talking about? Who wants you?"

"So what were we doing last night?"

"Come on, nothing happened between us last night."

Xiao Mo really couldn't stand his teasing and could only turn her head away.

Talking about what happened last night, Qi Minxiu actually felt a little regretful. They were clearly just one step away from success.

Feeling his loss, Xiao Mo raised her head and gently kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you, Ah Xiu, thank you for saving our most precious first time for our wedding night."

Last night, the two of them had enough foreplay, and when they were about to take the final step, Qi Minxiu, panting heavily, took the initiative to let go of her.

He said she was complete and he didn't want to break her virginity at this moment because of a momentary desire.

Such a meaningful moment should be saved for the wedding night.

To this end, he wore thin clothes and went to the door to blow the cold wind for a long time.

So much so that when Xiao Mo returned to bed, she was woken up by the cold.

Qi Minxiu looked at her with a hint of helplessness: "A few months won't make a difference anyway."

Xiao Mo took advantage of his carelessness, slipped out from under his armpit, and disappeared in a flash.

Qi Minxiu sat up and couldn't help laughing: "The clothes are here!"

After breakfast, Xiao Mo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As she crossed the backyard she saw a strange figure.

How to say it, even if the servants in the mansion are doing the work of serving others, they never bend their backs or hunch over.

She took two steps back and walked up to the maid: "Lift your head so I can see."

The maid's sweeping movement froze, and her hands gripping the broom became pale with clenched fists.

Xiao Mo felt something was wrong, so she reached out to brush away the loose hair on her forehead. After seeing her face clearly, her eyes suddenly focused.

"Xiao Xiang, why is it you?"

Xiao Xiang took a step back with a cold expression and a distracted look in her eyes. As a result, she accidentally stepped on a cobblestone and almost fell.

Xiao Mo quickly grabbed her and looked at her again.

Such a look was a shame for Xiao Xiang.

She glared at her fiercely: "You should be very happy now, right?"

Xiao Mo withdrew her gaze, took her hand and returned to Suqiyuan.

After entering the yard, she dismissed everyone, brought them into the house and closed the door.

"Why did you bring me here? I'm just a servant now." Xiao Xiang looked at her blankly.

Xiao Mo walked over and sat down opposite her, pouring a cup of tea and placing it in front of her: "I never thought of turning you into this, and I'm not happy seeing you like this."

Xiao Xiang sneered, picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if she had heard a joke.

"You don't have to deceive yourself. I've been back in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, and I've never taken the initiative to provoke you and your mother. Instead, it's you who have tried every possible way to deal with me time and time again."

Xiao Mo looked at her indifferently, calmly as if she was talking about someone else's business.

Xiao Xiang lowered her head, her fingertips clenching the teacup: "If you don't come back, nothing will happen."

"But I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you have no right to decide whether I stay or go.

Besides, if your mother and father hadn't suggested to the Emperor that I go to marry the princess in her place, I might never have returned."

Xiao Mo's words irritated Xiao Xiang. Her face gradually became distorted, but she couldn't utter a word.

"I know your status has plummeted since I came back, but that's no reason for you to hurt others."

Xiao Mo looked at her straight, but she didn't dare to meet her gaze.

"Go back to your courtyard. I'll come and check your injuries later."

Xiao Xiang's eyes, which were filled with resentment, softened like a melting glacier after hearing these words.

She bit her lips tightly and lowered her head fiercely. After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and called out softly, "Elder Sister..."

Xiao Mo was startled for a moment by the rather stiff name that came out of her mouth.

It's not like she hadn't called her sister before, but those times, she always did so as a mockery or a veiled sarcasm.

And just now, she could clearly feel that her calling of "elder sister" came from the heart.

Xiao Mo twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling very relieved.

Although she and her sister did not have a very close sisterly relationship, she felt a little numb for some reason when she saw her sister looking so miserable.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Xiang calmed down, but still couldn't help sobbing.

Xiao Mo was a little at a loss about their relationship which was neither too close nor too intimate, and didn't know what to say.

I wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but when I thought about how she knew she was wrong and was repenting for her mistakes, I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my throat.

Because she couldn't say it's okay to someone who hurt her.

The two sat quietly for a while. After Xiao Xiang calmed down, Xiao Mo brought up the matter of Qi Suyuan.

"You've been used by Prince Su, do you know that?"

Xiao Xiang looked at her in slight surprise and shook her head gently: "No, it was because I picked up his token in the yard that what happened later happened."

"Didn't you find it strange that you found the token?"

Xiao Mo tilted her head slightly and looked at her with a frown.

She lowered her eyes in thought, then raised her eyebrows in confusion: "You mean, these were all deliberately arranged by Prince Su? But that's not right."

Xiao Xiang's eyes twitched guiltily, and she didn't dare to look at her again.

"I went to find Prince Su first and asked him to deal with you, but he refused. I picked up the token after he left."

"With your brain, you still want to learn assassination from others, but you don't even know how to be assassinated by others."

Although Xiao Mo's words were all blaming, Xiao Xiang had only seen this kind of conversation pattern between her and Shen Yun.
