The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

In the early summer, the sky tends to brighten earlier, the morning sun clears the clouds and mist to drive away the darkness, the sun shows its head in the clouds, the servants in the mansion have already started a new day of busyness, and the General's Mansion, which has been silent all night, begins to reopen from this moment. Come back to life.

Zhaoxue went to bed early last night, and did not stay in bed today. When Rachel came in with water, she had already changed and sat in front of the vanity mirror, "Miss."

Zhaoxue turned her head and glanced at her, showing a gentle smile, "Here we come."

"Yeah." Rachel pursed her lips and nodded, looking a little preoccupied, her whole person looked absent-minded.

Shen Zhaoxue sat in front of the mirror, letting Rachel play with the comb on her long hair, "Rachel?" she called out unexpectedly when she was lost in thought.

Rachel was so frightened that the comb dropped to the ground, she bent down to pick it up in a panic, and kept saying, "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

As a result, Shen Zhaoxue felt even more strange, and her expression became serious, "Rachel, is there something wrong with you?"

Rachel fell to her knees with a plop and buried her head in her hands, her voice trembling, "There is one thing, but Rachel can't tell Miss."

"Rachel, you know, you always have secrets written on your face, do you think you can hide it from me?"

Rachel raised her head and looked at Shen Zhaoxue, "But miss, Rachel doesn't know whether to tell you about this matter, if I keep it... I feel ashamed."

Shen Zhaoxue hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her up, and said with a slight smile, "It's okay, just tell me, I won't be angry and I won't blame you."

Rachel frowned and shook her head repeatedly, "Miss, you don't want to know."

"Rachel...I don't want any secrets between us, okay?"

In desperation, Rachel had no choice but to bite her lip and go all out, and finished speaking in one breath. "Last night I saw Miss Cousin leave the general's room."

Hearing this, Shen Zhaoxue was shocked at first, and seemed to stop breathing for a moment, and then her calm and tense facial expression suddenly relaxed, and her tone was flat, "Oh, is there anything else?"

"...No, no, it's just this matter." Rachel swallowed, a little surprised that she didn't see a big reaction from the lady, so she asked tentatively, "Miss, aren't you angry? "

"What's there to be angry about?" Shen Zhaoxue waved her sleeves and turned around and sat in front of the mirror, pasting up the flowers, her tone as if she was talking about an unimportant thing. In the mirror, she was indifferent and innocent. The brows are bright, the teeth are white, and the years are quiet and peaceful, but they don't know that the heart is no longer rushing.

"That's the general and her cousin. I've seen it for a long time. That cousin is not a good person. She is here to fight the general with you."

"It's mine or it's mine, it's not mine... It doesn't matter if it was robbed." Shen Zhaoxue said in a flat tone, and picked up the eyebrow pencil to trace it lightly on the tip of her eyebrows.

"But this is too... a bit blatant, after all, Miss, your main wife is still here."

"Stop talking, pack up and let's go to the store." Shen Zhaoxue stood up indifferently after finishing speaking.

Rachel had no choice but to shut up and let it go, since the young lady didn't want to bother, then she, a maid, couldn't do much.

She was really worried that if one day, this cousin really became the general's concubine, that lady's position in the house would be even more precarious. According to that cousin's temperament, she wished she could ride on her head. Rachel felt that she I have endless worries every day. It would be great if my life could be simpler, purer and more comfortable.

As soon as Shen Zhaoxue and Raiqiu left, a ginger-yellow figure sneaked in. While looking around, she opened the door and entered Shen Zhaoxue's room when she saw no one was around. The prepared book was placed under Shen Zhaoxue's pillow, and after she was done, she clapped her hands and left secretly satisfied.

Although she didn't quite understand one thing, why did this kind of book appear in my cousin's room? Could it be his personal hobby?I don't care about that much for the time being, after the incident, even if my cousin finds out that it is a book in his room for self-protection, he will definitely not stand up and admit it, especially because of the relationship between him and his cousin-in-law. She was exonerated, and in this way, Sima Yuxi's revenge plan could be carried out perfectly.

shop.

Shen Zhaoxue sat at the counter and wrote down the books, and Rachel went to help Xiaoan clean up the goods, and the two of them also secretly discussed.

"Ma'am doesn't look very interested today. Could it be that she had a fight with the general?" Xiao An asked.

Rachel patted him on the head unceremoniously, "Is this something you should worry about as a guy, and there is also the relationship between the general and my lady...the relationship is good, and they are in love."

Xiao An said that she didn't believe it at all, and her tone was full of doubts, "Really?"

"Of course, the lady just didn't sleep well at night, so she seems not energetic. You should do things!"

Shen Zhaoxue found that she was making mistakes all the time today, she couldn't do some simple arithmetic well, she wasted one sheet after another, and the table was full of discarded paper balls. She said she didn't care, but she cared to death in her heart. She hated herself like this, hated herself who would feel uncomfortable because she cared.

The whole day was spent in such a muddle. Due to her poor mood, under Rachel's persuasion, Shen Zhaoxue chose to go back early, and Xiao An stayed in the store to watch over her. It is bright and beautiful, reflecting half of the sky into orange red.

Shen Zhaoxue sat in the rickety carriage and had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

As soon as the carriage arrived outside the gate of the mansion, the butler hurried out, "Madam, please go in and have a look, something serious has happened!"

"What happened?" Shen Zhaoxue asked calmly.

"Oh, I don't know what to say, Madam, you will know when you go in."

Rachel's heart skipped a beat, she was in such a hurry to find the lady, could it be that she wanted to announce the marriage of Miss Biao to the general?Do you want to be so fast!

Walking quickly to the main hall, Sima Boyi was sitting on a chair in the center of the hall, and on the other side was Sima Yuxi, who was drinking tea leisurely. He raised his eyes and said, "Oh, my cousin is finally back."

Shen Zhaoxue bowed, "Father."

With a cold face, Sima Boyi did not know where to take out a book and threw it in front of her, "Tell me today, what's going on, a woman reads such obscene books at home, It's ridiculous, shameful, and a joke!"

Shen Zhaoxue looked intently, and her pupils dilated instantly. How could this book appear here? Wasn't it taken away by the general?

"Why, are you speechless, or are you trying to make up some reason?" Sima Boyi paused and said, "If Yuxi didn't go to your room to borrow a comb today, and accidentally found this thing, what would you do? How long are you going to keep it from everyone?"

Shen Zhaoxue was in a panic all over, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead in an instant.

Seeing this, Rachel quickly slipped out of the lobby, found a young boy, and took out a tael of silver from his pocket, "Hurry up to the training ground to find the general, and tell him that something big happened at home, you must be quick!"

Sima Yuxi didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and said leisurely, "Biao sister-in-law, I didn't expect that you would do such a thing in private. You must know that this is a matter that insults the reputation of the entire Sima family, and you will be arrested." To soak the pig cage."

Shen Zhaoxue's gaze settled on her, "Did Yuxi really want to borrow the comb, or did she lie about borrowing the comb to do something else?"

Sima Yuxi blushed, jumping over the wall in a bit of urgency, "You, you, you, it's all about to come to an end, do you still want to slander me and say that I deliberately planted and framed you? What good does it do for me to harm you? My mother is also from the Sima family, so I can do it Me!"

Sima Boyi patted the table, signaling to be quiet, and then asked Shen Zhaoxue, "Just answer this old man's question, is this book... yours?"

Shen Zhaoxue bit her lips, helpless, "....It's mine." At this moment, her heart was extremely desperate.

"That's right, is it useful to say so much?" Sima Yuxi bluffed, "Uncle, look, my cousin has admitted that the book is hers. This matter happened internally, and punishment must be imposed. , to serve as an example to others."

"Family service!" Sima Bo was trembling with anger, he had thought that this girl from the Shen family was a hardworking and sensible child, and she would do such a thing.

The housekeeper hesitated, "Master, must this be done?"

"Why are you still standing there!" Sima Boyi said resolutely.

"Yes, yes, yes." The butler hurried out and brought the whip after a while. Rachel was flustered not far away, but she couldn't get in at all, and there was no place for her to talk. Now the only The only thing I can beg for is that the general can come back quickly, so that I can help the young lady to say something, although... the general is not the same now, if he and Sima Yuxi are on the same side... Forget it, forget about it, after all, the general has saved the young lady a few times, and I hope it will work this time!

Sima Boyi took the whip from the housekeeper, while Shen Zhaoxue knelt in the center of the hall with a calm expression and her lips tightly shut.

He looked down at her, "do you have anything else to say?"

"Zhaoxue...has nothing to say." After finishing speaking, Shen Zhaoxue closed her eyes, waiting for the arrival of the whip.

After saying that, Sima Boyi waved his whip and raised his hand. At this moment, the butler shouted, "My lord, it's the general who has returned."

Sima Boyi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take off his whip. He turned his head and looked outside, "She came back just in time."

Sima Yun jumped off his horse and strode towards the hall. He saw Shen Zhaoxue kneeling on the ground and the whip in his father's hand at a glance.

She had seen this whip a few times when she was a child because she was naughty, it was the family law of their Sima family.

Then he said, "What happened?"

"Read for yourself." Sima Boyi threw the book on Sima Yun's chest.

Sima Yuxi was a little guilty, so she hurriedly turned her face away, avoiding Sima Yun's gaze.

Sima Yun didn't open the book. She remembered that the cover was lost from her last night. Immediately afterwards, she took the book and walked up to Shen Zhaoxue, looked down at her and asked, "You admit it?"

Shen Zhaoxue didn't raise her head or speak, her face was expressionless and lifeless.

Seeing this, Sima Yun had no choice but to slap the book on the table beside him, and then said, "You all misunderstood, this book...is mine."

"Your?" Sima Boyi was overwhelmed with surprise, and Sima Yuxi was even more so. How could his cousin... how could he admit this for the sake of that woman!

"Mine." Sima Yun said again, "It's hard for you Ma'am, you actually took the initiative to stand up and bear this matter for me, but...one person does one thing and one person should be responsible. I should be punished."

After finishing the words, Shen Zhaoxue suddenly raised her head to look at Sima Yun, and at the same time, her eyes were full of firmness and undeniability.

Shen Zhaoxue bit her lip and couldn't help worrying, General why are you bothering.

Sima Boyi's eyes were full of anger and disappointment, "You are... you are such a disappointment to me, you are a disgrace to our Sima family!" After speaking, he raised his hand, and the whip was about to come down.

Sima Yun didn't dodge either, he let the whip hit his body, and he just gritted his teeth tightly without saying a word, as if he didn't feel any pain or feeling.

In fact, Shen Zhaoxue knew that he must be dying of pain.
