The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

The storm subsided, and the pedestrians who had stopped and watched in the past also began to disperse.

"Miss Su, it's really thanks to you!" Rachel began to appreciate this unique second lady of the Duke's Mansion.

Su Xiuyan smiled unabashedly, a little smug, and turned to look at Shen Zhaoxue, who was still in a daze, "Zhaoxue, now the trouble is solved, in the future, I will hit that kind of person every time he comes."

Shen Zhaoxue came back to her senses, and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Thank you...Thank you, Xiuyan..."

"You're welcome." Su Xiuyan raised her hand to pat Shen Zhaoxue's shoulder, but she stopped halfway through her hand, and put it next to her mouth with her head slightly lowered, as if thoughtful.

Rachel hurried up to meet her and asked, "Miss Su, do you need something to drink or eat? Rachel will do it."

Su Xiuyan waved her hand, turned around and sat down, and sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Shen Zhaoxue had no choice but to wink and let Rachel go to work first, while she sat down beside Su Xiuyan and asked softly, "Does Xiuyan have something on her mind? I wonder if Zhaoxue can help... ..”

Su Xiuyan looked at Shen Zhaoxue, drooping her face, "Did you know that His Majesty will be drafting soon?"

Shen Zhaoxue nodded, "I have heard of it."

"But I don't want to enter the palace as a concubine, and if I don't get selected, I have to stay in the palace as a maid, and I might spend my whole life in it."

Shen Zhaoxue moved her lips, she didn't know what to say, even a lady from a high-ranking and powerful family was the same, she couldn't control her own destiny, women in this era seemed helpless.

At this moment, a few servants from Su Guogong's mansion approached, "Second Miss, the master is looking for you everywhere, you should go back with the boys."

Su Xiuyan patted her thighs and stood up, turned her head and said to Shen Zhaoxue, "Come on, I should go back too, I've been out wandering for so long, I guess the story of just now has already reached my father's ears, and I don't know what will happen." How do you train me, little girl Zhaoxue, let’s see you tomorrow.” After speaking, he grinned and waved to her.

Shen Zhaoxue stood up, her movements were half a beat slow, when she waved at her, Su Xiuyan had already walked to the front of the gang of boys, striding lightly.

Rachel and Xiao An were selling goods together, and came to the front after seeing Su Xiuyan leave, "Miss."

Shen Zhaoxue turned around and instructed carefully, "Miss Su is kind to us today, can't we forget to know?"

Rachel nodded, "It's the lady's benefactor, and also my Rachel's benefactor!"

At some point, Xiao An also intervened, "Miss Su is really a kind person, she is beautiful and kind."

Rachel pushed him aside in disgust, "Why are you everywhere, go to work!"

The business of the store gradually improved, and many customers would come here every day. At the beginning, some people would be scruples about Shen Zhaoxue's reputation as a disaster star, but nothing bad happened over time, and people's hearts also changed over time. It started to spread, saying that because she married Sima Yun, the disaster was eliminated and luck began to change.

"A bunch of idiots, you can't handle such a trivial matter!" Meng Xianglan blushed with anger, her neck was thick, and she lost all the honor of being wealthy in ordinary times.

"Madam, please calm down, this old slave has a plan." After the old woman took a step forward and said something in Meng Xianglan's ear, Meng Xianglan was dubious, "Is it really useful?"

"Madam, just try it." The old woman looked confident.

It was too late to return, Shen Zhaoxue sat in the carriage and yawned again and again, Rachel lifted the curtain and poked out half of her head, turned her head and said to Shen Zhaoxue, "Miss, the guards sent by the general are all following the carriage Behind the ass, it's fun."

Shen Zhaoxue closed her eyes and sat upright. Seeing that there was no response, Rachel closed her mouth wisely so as not to disturb the young lady's rest for a while. The young lady has been really tired for a while.

When they arrived at the mansion, Rachel helped Shen Zhaoxue get out of the carriage, and unexpectedly heard someone calling Master, and looked up, it was indeed Master coming.

Shen Zhaoxue immediately bowed, "Father."

"Excuse me." Sima Boyi stepped forward with his hands behind his back, looking down at her, "The old man recently heard from a servant in the mansion that you took over that rouge shop."

"Yes, father." Shen Zhaoxue nodded in answer.

"Don't work too hard, pay attention to your body." Sima Boyi said again.

Shen Zhaoxue bowed her head and nodded lightly, "Zhaoxue understands."

"go in."

After going back, Shen Zhaoxue took a special look at the side room. There was still light in it just a second ago, but now it has been turned off, so she turned her head and walked towards the main room. Rachel quickly followed and asked in a low voice, "Miss , let me get you some water to wash up."

Shen Zhaoxue hummed, took off her coat after entering the room, and when Rachel came in after fetching water, she said, "Just put it down, I'll do it myself."

"Miss...."

Shen Zhaoxue pursed her lips and smiled, "You're tired after following me all day, go back and rest, it's fine here."

"Yeah." Rachel nodded, very well-behaved, "Call me if you need something." After finishing speaking, she closed the door and retreated.

There was steaming heat in the wooden tub with the scent of oak. Shen Zhaoxue undressed and took off her clothes to test the water temperature with her feet. It was as if all the tiredness had been washed away.

Shen Zhaoxue leaned comfortably on the oak barrel, the tip of her nose was the aroma of rose petals used for bathing, her steamed face was flushed, and her snow-white skin was also stained with a blush, she was about to fall asleep like this with her eyes closed.

At this moment, there was a sound outside the house, something seemed to fly past the window, Shen Zhaoxue was suddenly woken up and opened her eyes, her heart was instantly lifted into her throat, her breathing became rapid, and she grasped it with both hands. On the edge of the barrel, staring at the door.

Sima Yun has always been a light sleeper, so this movement would naturally wake her up. Because of the fear of a thief breaking in, coupled with the previous experience, Sima Yun almost went straight to the main house, pushing her away without hesitation. Opened the door.

As a result, Shen Zhaoxue, who was flushed and terrified, was greeted by Shen Zhaoxue, her attractive white collarbone was clearly visible, and a pair of jade arms were covering her chest, looking a little panicked.

Sima Yun was astonished, he hesitated for a while before he said, "...Did someone break in just now..."

Shen Zhaoxue bit her lip and whispered, "Only you, General..."

Sima Yun felt that his face was a little hot, but he pretended to be calm, "It's fine if it doesn't."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Shen Zhaoxue raised her finger and pointed to the direction where the shadow just passed by, "It seems that there is a shadow going there."

Sima Yun opened his mouth, and looked away from Shen Zhaoxue's body, "I'll go take a look." After speaking, he turned around and disappeared.
