"Don't be afraid of me. You and I will be husband and wife from now on, and I will treat you well."
Qi Shuo thought it was the murderous aura around him that frightened the little girl, so he spoke to comfort her.
But when Cheng Wenwen heard his relief, her heart went crazy.
She had made a fool of herself several times at the dinner table, but the general was not annoyed at all and even comforted her gently not to be afraid of him.
Is this general interested in me?
She is so petty and out of place, yet she actually has a crush on herself?
Cheng Wenwen was immediately annoyed. This old pervert and old man would not let him go even if he was underage!
The impression value that had been raised just because of Qi Shuo's appearance suddenly began to fall to the bottom.
It seems that there is no point in pretending to stutter and be timid.
Cheng Wenwen had no choice but to think of other ways to make Qi Shuo hate herself so as to postpone the wedding.
In fact, if Qi Shuo had known what Cheng Wenwen was thinking, Qi Shuo would not have stopped her if she left.
It's a pity that Cheng Wenwen doesn't trust Qi Shuo and thinks that Qi Shuo is just a villain.
The meal was a bit embarrassing.
On the way back, Cheng Wenwen was the first to slip into her carriage.
He also noticed that the young lady was clearly avoiding the general and not waiting to see him!
He thought about talking to Cheng Wenwen later.
Since they want to become a couple, they should open their hearts and get along well. If they keep avoiding each other, they may cause discord in the family.
Qi Shuo didn't care about these details.
It's just that the two carriages entered the general's mansion one after another, and the people in the mansion were also sharp-eyed, so they couldn't help but start to act according to the wind.
"The general is back with his new wife!"
"I think the general cares about the new wife this time."
"How can I see it?"
"There are several aunts in our house, but the general has never taken the initiative to take a look at anyone. But now that the new wife is here, the general is sending money and looking for her. What do you think he doesn't care about?"
"What is the identity of the new lady and her family background? She is a woman from a high-ranking family in the capital, and the marriage was arranged by the Duke of the State. Naturally, the general will take her seriously."
"We have to be more careful and don't offend the new lady. She will be the serious mistress of our house from now on!"
"you do not say!"
"..."
The servants were talking behind their backs.
Behind the rockery, Wu Li and Xiao Hong listened attentively.
Wu Li looked very ugly.
Xiaohong saw it and was about to go out and said: "Sister, I'm going to scold them for daring to talk about the general behind his back!"
Wu Li grabbed Xiao Hong and said, "No need! What they said is right!"
Xiaohong frowned, her big face looked wrinkled and even more ugly.
Wu Li took a few breaths, her face returned to normal, and she walked out. The servants who were talking stopped talking when they saw Wu Li.
Manager Wu is the old man who has stayed in the house the longest. I heard that she has been with the general since she was a teenager. The general also thinks highly of her, so he cannot offend her.
Wu Li walked to her room together, wrote a letter and handed it to Xiao Hong: "Go and deliver it to Cheng Liu Mazi."
Xiaohong frowned even more when she heard the name Liu Mazi.
This Liu Mazi is a well-known gangster in the west of the city. He makes a living by lending money and collecting loans. He is not someone to be trifled with. How did your sister know him?
What is this going to do?
Xiaohong felt something bad was going to happen.
Seeing that she hadn't left yet, Wu Li frowned and said, "What's wrong? Still not going?"
"Go right now."
Xiaohong quickly turned around, holding the letter in her hand, and headed to the west of the city.
She knocked on the door of a dilapidated house according to the address Wu Li said.
Xiaohong knocked for a long time before the door was opened, and half of the man's face with a big scar was exposed, which shocked Xiaohong.
"For what?"
"Is it Liu Mazi?" Xiao Hong said timidly.
"it's me!"
"My sister Wu Li asked me to give this to you."
When Liu Mazi heard the word Wu Li, he raised his drooping eyes and looked at Xiaohong: "When did your sister change to another girl? You are much uglier than the last one!"
Xiaohong was a little annoyed when she heard this man say she was ugly, but she didn't dare to get angry. She said angrily: "I'll give you the letter, I'm leaving!"
Liu Mazi took the letter, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, as well as the familiar light fragrance. He smiled with a perverted look on his face.
