Chapter 7
Before everyone had left, Xie Yuwang came over after hearing the noise.
Lu Ling had been pulled out of the tent by Fang Qianqian. Even without these witnesses, Fang Qianqian had plenty of ways to make General Xie believe it.
"What are you all doing here? Haven't you done enough work?" Although Xie Yuwang was not very old, he was full of energy when scolding people, which made people feel scared.
This roar drove away many people who had already dispersed.
Fang Qianqian was delighted to see Xie Yuwang coming.
"Young General, it was her who stole my hairpin and refused to admit it." Fang Qianqian still held Lu Ling's hand.
Xie Yuwang looked at Lu Ling and then at Fang Qianqian, "Isn't your hairpin in your hand? When was it stolen?"
"I, I couldn't find this hairpin when I got up this morning. I just found it on Lu Ling's bed. A bunch of people nearby saw it." Fang Qianqian said to Xie Yuwang.
Xie Yuwang looked around and found that there was no one around except them.
Xie Yuwang spread his hands and asked, "Where are the people?"
Fang Qianqian saw that there was no one around, and since those people seemed to be staying out of the matter, it seemed that they would not speak up for her.
"Major General, she did steal it, but those people won't tell anyone." Fang Qianqian tried to save the situation.
Xie Yuwang exclaimed, "Oh!" "So, it's okay for me to frame you for harming others?"
"You just said that Lu Ling stole something, but you couldn't prove it. If someone just came and said that her things were lost and it was you, Fang Qianqian, who did it, can I also consider you the thief?" Xie Yuwang pointed at Fang Qianqian.
"Also, if Lu Ling really stole something, then none of these people in the barracks can prove it for you, which means you are not suitable for the position of manager. I'd better let someone else be the manager."
After hearing this, Fang Qianqian's face turned pale.
"I can testify!"
Xie Yuwang was attracted by the voice, turned around and saw a bright and charming woman standing in the sun, walking towards him step by step.
Only after seeing the person's face clearly did Xie Yuwang realize that he had heard correctly.
"Why are you here?" Xie Yuwang asked Su Yun with trembling hands.
In memory, Su Yun loved beauty the most. She would never wear dark-colored clothes if possible. The brighter the color, the more she liked it. Xie Yuwang had seen her once at Lu Ling's birthday party when he was a child, and he had never forgotten her since then.
The Lu Mansion and the Su Mansion were only separated by a street. When Su Yun and Lu Ling were young, they didn't get along, so Xie Yuwang could only sneak out of the Lu Mansion and run to the Su Mansion to play with Su Yun.
It’s just that Su Yun mostly doesn’t like to pay attention to Xie Yuwang, but Xie Yuwang doesn’t get angry. He just quietly serves as Su Yun’s little follower, and goes wherever Su Yun goes.
At first, Lu Ling didn't see Xie Yuwang and thought he was lost, so he hurriedly asked people to look for him.
Once, Xie Yuwang sneaked out of Lu Mansion again and went to Su Mansion.
Seeing that Su Yun was always depressed, Xie Yuwang went to the street to find many novel things. When he arrived at Su Mansion, the sun had already set and it was dark.
I don’t know how the servants of the Lu Mansion searched for him, but they couldn’t find any trace of Xie Yuwang until evening.
Seeing that Xie Yuwang was still nowhere to be found, Lu Ling had no choice but to seek help from his father.
Before he even left the room, Xie Yuwang came back by himself.
Lu Ling scolded him loudly, his eyes red, "Where have you been? Could you tell me what you were doing? You made me worry for nothing."
Lu Ling cursed and hit Xie Yuwang at the same time.
Xie Yuwang touched his nose and said with some guilt: "Sister, I will come back earlier next time, look!" Xie Yuwang took out a rabbit lantern.
"This is what I just bought. Do you like it, sister?"
When Lu Ling saw the rabbit lantern, he forgot everything that had just happened. He left with a sentence "Don't do this again next time" and walked away with the lantern.
What Lu Ling didn't know was that the rabbit lantern was originally bought by Xie Yuwang for Su Yun. Su Yun didn't like the rabbit lantern, so Xie Yuwang wanted to take it back to the Lu Mansion and give it to Lu Ling.
"Don't you know I'm here?" Su Yun asked Xie Yuwang as if he had heard a joke.
"Aren't you the eldest daughter in the capital?" Xie Yuwang looked at Su Yun's attire and asked in disbelief, "Is something wrong in your family too?"
"General Xie, if you want to laugh at me, there's no need to beat around the bush." Su Yun raised his hand and touched his hair.
"That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect you to be here." Xie Yuwang explained hurriedly.
Su Yun snorted and ignored Xie Yuwang.
Lu Ling looked back and forth at the two of them for a while, and couldn't help but speak out, "Can you guys talk about business?"
Fang Qianqian, who had always been prejudiced against Lu Ling, nodded in agreement.
Xie Yuwang only reacted after hearing Lu Ling's words, and lowered his head and pretended to cough.
"Well, how can you testify?" Xie Yuwang asked Su Yun.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Su Yun said firmly.
"Nonsense!" Lu Ling said angrily.
Fang Qianqian was initially happy to hear Su Yun's words, but her brows furrowed again when she heard what Lu Ling said.
"How do you know she's talking nonsense? You took it, there's witnesses and evidence, yet you still refuse to admit it!"
Lu Ling took Fang Qianqian's hand away, straightened his clothes, looked up and said, "Major General, I didn't take this hairpin. Although Qingdai and I were in the tent last night, we were only there to reduce the swelling."
Lu Ling showed his fingers to Xie Yuwang, and then showed Qingdai's red and swollen face to Xie Yuwang.
"Who beat you?" Xie Yuwang asked. He knew about the chilblains on Lu Ling's hands, but he didn't know why Qingdai's face was beaten like this.
He didn't know it at first, but the bright red slap mark told him that Qingdai had been beaten, and the blow was not gentle.
Lu Ling did not answer Xie Yuwang's question first, but continued talking to himself.
"Major General, Fang Qianqian is deliberately targeting us. Originally, the slaves in the tent took turns washing the laundry, but Fang Qianqian assigned it all to Qingdai and me. The weather has been freezing these past few days, and the water is very cold. Qingdai and I both have frostbite on our hands."
"Last night, Qingdai and I wanted to apply a hand massage and go to sleep, but Su Yun suddenly came into the tent and said a few words. Qingdai was so angry that she said something to her, but she didn't expect Su Yun to slap her in the face."
After Lu Ling finished speaking, he glanced at Su Yun, then turned his head to look at Xie Yuwang.
Of course, she would not tell Su Yun and Fang Qianqian in front of them that she and Qingdai were applying medicine. They had nothing. If she let them know that she had medicine, wouldn't that mean she had met Xie Yuwang in private?
If that happens, everyone will know that she and Xie Heng are in a relationship again. Who knows what will happen.
Xie Yuwang nodded after hearing this, turned around and said to Su Yun, "Can you please stop being so grumpy?"
Fang Qianqian couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him, "Major General, after talking for so long, this girl still can't prove that she didn't steal anything."
Xie Yuwang waved his hand and said, "Didn't she say that? She didn't steal."
"Can……"
"Okay, let's leave it at that. Your hairpin is not lost. Wouldn't it be better if everyone is happy?" Xie Yuwang patted Fang Qianqian's back and comforted her.
Fang Qianqian wanted to say something, but suddenly Xie Yuwang pressed her shoulders to prevent her from moving.
"Grandma Fang, you are in charge, but you can't do whatever you want. You have to follow the rules, okay?" Xie Yuwang said the last sentence with gritted teeth.
Fang Qianqian bent her body and quickly agreed.
Xie Yuwang let go of his hand, and Fang Qianqian moved her shoulders uncomfortably.
While her shoulder was still aching, Fang Qianqian heard Xie Yuwang say, "Fang Qianqian is old and unable to handle many things. It's better not to take on the management position anymore."
Xie Yuwang stared at Fang Qianqian, who felt a little frightened.
"Granny Fang, are you okay?"
"Major General, I can still do it, I'm still okay!" Fang Qianqian said this with full energy, but her shoulders still hurt a little, and she kept shrugging them.
Lu Ling looked at Fang Qianqian and said with a smile, "Grandma Fang, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."
"Grandma Fang, there are too many things to take care of. I understand that you are old and can't handle it. I will arrange some good jobs for you." Xie Yuwang did not allow her to refuse.
Fang Qianqian knew that she couldn't change much, so she collapsed on the ground.
Although this young general has only been in the military camp for two years, he has always been a man of his word.
Two years ago, a soldier made a mistake. General Xie wanted to spare him the punishment because he had always been by his side. But the major general refused and gave him twenty lashes.
"As for you, you're arrogant and prone to throwing tantrums!" Xie Yuwang's originally fierce expression softened in an instant. "I'll punish you by having you help me press it."
Xie Yuwang drew out the last sentence.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Su Yun, but also Lu Ling and Qing Dai were shocked.
Fang Qianqian, who was slumped on the ground, felt her eyes go dark.
Lu Ling snapped his fingers, and finally asked, "Is this some special form of punishment?"
Xie Yuwang didn't answer. He put his hands behind his back, looked up and walked towards his military camp.
Because Su Yun was "punished", he also followed Xie Yuwang.
Only Lu Ling and the other two were left standing in the wind.
After a long while, Lu Ling came back to his senses and said to Fang Qianqian on the ground: "Grandma Fang, congratulations, you won't have to do so much work in the future."
After Lu Ling finished speaking, he pulled Qingdai and turned back to the tent.
"Hahahahaha." Qingdai's laughter echoed throughout the tent. "Fang Qianqian has finally fallen. Let's see how arrogant she will be in the future."
"Don't be happy too soon. She has lost her power today, and it is inevitable that she will make trouble for us in the future." Lu Ling warned Qingdai.
Qing Dai didn't take it seriously, "So what? Judging from her behavior just now, she probably won't cause us any trouble in the future."
"And I think she only dares to yell at people because of her position as a manager. She doesn't dare to yell at anyone else." Qingdai said.
"That would be great."
"Sister, what do you think Mr. Xie meant today?" Qingdai asked.
Lu Ling made his bed and turned around to sit down. "I've known about their relationship for a long time, but he never dared to tell me. He even avoided me when he went to the Su Mansion, thinking I didn't know."
Qing Dai was confused. "Miss, what's going on between them?"
