Upon learning that they were going to test Li Furong, Tan Tai Chun smiled and said, "This won't be a problem for me."
After he finished speaking, he immediately went to find Li Furong.
Su Lijin was worried and followed him.
At this time, Li Furong was wearing clean clothes and holding a basket in her hand, as if she was going to the kitchen to cook.
Tan Tai Chun walked up to her, looked at her and said, "Miss Li, why don't you do these rough jobs? Leave them to others."
Li Furong glanced at him and saw that he was someone close to Xiao Shengxing. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I used to do these things often."
"Miss Li is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. How could she often do such servant-like things?"
These words immediately made Tan Tai Chun's eyes flash, and he asked thoughtfully.
Su Lijin, who was standing by, also gave him an inquiring look.
Li Furong stopped immediately, pursed her lips, and glanced at Tan Tai Chun with some caution.
Seeing that his face was just full of curiosity and no other expression, she felt relieved and almost thought that she had been exposed.
She was not Li Furong to begin with. When she was in the bandit camp, she ate only coarse and unrefined food. Only after she robbed the good things did she have a good meal for a while.
On weekdays, I have to do all kinds of work, and the days are only a little better later on.
However, the bandit camp was destroyed, and she had to sacrifice her body in exchange for the opportunity to get closer to this side.
"Oh, that's right. I saw that the servants in the mansion were working very hard, so I often made some cakes myself. I wanted to make them myself for Daddy."
After she finished speaking, a sad expression appeared on her face: "It's just that Daddy is dead, and he can no longer eat the food I cook..."
Tan Tai Chun pretended to be sympathetic on his face, but secretly cast a glance at Su Lijin behind him.
The look in his eyes said that nothing could be seen.
Su Lijin nodded.
Li Furong's tears came suddenly, and she looked like she had just lost her father.
But she still felt it was a little weird.
Thinking of this, he gave a look, asking Tan Tai Chun to continue testing.
Li Furong looked at Tan Tai Chun and saw that he had followed her all the way to the dining room, so she asked, "Don't you need to go to the Emperor?"
Tan Tai Chun reached out naturally, picked up a piece of freshly cooked meat, and stuffed it into his mouth, pretending to eat secretly. He smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't need me for the time being, so I came to see if there is anything delicious."
Seeing him like this, Li Furong made a somewhat shy expression.
She took a thick piece of firewood and threw it directly into the stove, her movements very naturally.
After doing this, he seemed to feel that his action was a bit rough, and pretended to use his fingers to pinch other small pieces of firewood and add them into the stove little by little.
She looks like a weak young lady who can only lift light objects.
But her subconscious action at the beginning had already been seen by Tan Tai Chun.
Li Furong doesn't need to do much in the kitchen. In fact, there is a kitchen chef to do it.
Soon, she took a lunch box and left.
After everyone left, Tan Tai Chun looked thoughtful, "This person is indeed a bit strange. She doesn't look like a lady from a noble family. She looks more like..."
Su Lijin came over and said, "He looks like someone who does menial work all year round, doesn't he?"
Nodding, Tan Tai Chun also agreed deeply.
"Did you see the calluses on her hands?" Su Lijin asked.
There was a deep meaning in her eyes.
Tan Tai Chun thought about it and realized that Li Furong's hands seemed to have calluses. He immediately widened his eyes and asked, "No way?"
"Go talk to the emperor and see what he has to say."
Su Lijin asked him to go find the emperor. At present, they only had suspicions. They should tell Xiao Shengxing about this matter and see how he would arrange it.
Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Chun immediately went to tell Xiao Shengxing.
After Xiao Shengxing heard this, there was no change in his eyes.
"Don't tell me about this kind of thing."
"But Miss Li doesn't look like a lady from a noble family. Her movements are quite vulgar. I heard that General Li doted on his daughter when he was alive and must have hired someone to raise her according to etiquette. Her manners and behavior shouldn't be like this."
Thinking about this, Tan Tai Chun still looked puzzled.
"Do you think I am in the mood to care about a woman's manners now?" Xiao Shengxing's voice was low and a little cold.
After he returned to the camp, Shiqi was nowhere to be seen.
Now he only cares about Shiqi's whereabouts, and he doesn't care about other women at all.
Hearing the displeasure in his tone, Tan Tai Chun tactfully said nothing more.
…
The Mongols withdrew their troops and there has been no further movement since then.
These days, the entire army is full of joy and excitement.
No need to fight means no casualties, and the soldiers are very happy.
Everyone began to persuade the emperor to return to the capital.
Xiao Shengxing's personal participation in the expedition did indeed boost morale.
Instead, after a series of victories, the Liang soldiers believed that the Mongols must be afraid of their emperor.
Xiao Shengxing didn't object. He glanced at the beautiful maid beside him and said, "General Su, after I return, you will stay here to guard the place."
After that, he added: "I'll leave the dark clouds to you."
Su Moyuan didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.
Su Lijin, who was left behind, was a little conflicted. After thinking about it, she still didn't say anything.
Her current fake identity is indeed not very convenient.
When Li Furong learned about the army's return to the capital, she cried and asked to go back with them. After being rejected, she even threatened with her own life.
Staring coldly at the woman in front of him, Xiao Shengxing said expressionlessly, "If you want to die, I can't stop you."
