Feng Beichuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He should have known better than to have so many concerns from the beginning. Now, he had missed a good opportunity.
Perhaps that's just how people are.
Even the most precious things become commonplace if you can access them all the time.
But if it's something unattainable, no matter how ordinary it may be, even just being able to touch it in the slightest can make people feel incredibly happy.
There's plenty of time in the future!
Feng Beichuan smiled and shook his head, then turned and got back into the carriage.
Meanwhile, Li Chang'an was covering his cheeks with both hands, trying to cool down the perhaps burning sensation on his face.
This is terrible! At this moment, Li Chang'an felt extremely frightened. She didn't even know when her face had become so hot, and it was even starting to burn her ears.
I wonder if that person saw me turn into this?
Thinking of this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head. Then, as if deceiving himself, he silently told himself that the sky was so dark today, and he had just run so fast, the other party must not have noticed these details.
Just as Li Chang'an was muttering to himself, he suddenly bumped into two people.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qin Xiashi and Xing'er.
Upon seeing Li Chang'an, Qin Xia immediately pulled Qin Yubao, whom she was holding by the hand, back, her face showing a wary expression, as if she was afraid that the other party would try to take the child away from her.
Although Qin Yubao was small and could only be manipulated by Qin Xiashi, his eyes were always fixed on Li Chang'an. His big eyes seemed to be filled with the words, "I was forced to do this, and I didn't want to hide from you."
Seeing this, Li Chang'an finally put aside those distracting thoughts. His brows furrowed slightly, and his lips pursed as a sense of displeasure arose in his heart.
But Madam Qin Xia seemed completely oblivious to these changes in the other party. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of accusation, "Madam is back? I thought this General's Mansion had become your inn. I thought you had had enough of it and had gone somewhere else!"
Li Chang'an immediately realized that this person was using his long absence from the general's mansion as an excuse to make a fuss.
However, Li Chang'an was also secretly surprised, wondering why Qin Xia would suddenly want to cause him trouble.
It should be noted that ever since Li Chang'an established his authority in the general's mansion, Qin Xiashi and the others have become noticeably more obedient.
Even though they secretly harbored resentment towards her, the general's wife who had suddenly appeared and usurped his position, and even resorted to dirty tricks behind his back, it was extremely rare for them to directly confront her head-on.
Because he disliked verbal disputes, Li Chang'an didn't bother with the other party and immediately turned around with a cold face, intending to take a detour.
Unfortunately, Qin Xia and her entourage seemed rather ungrateful today. Seeing that Li Chang'an remained silent and unresponsive, they became even more aggressive.
"Where is Madam heading? Did you miss what Auntie just said?"
Before Qin Xia could make a move, Xing'er stepped forward and blocked Li Chang'an's path.
Li Chang'an felt like he was about to laugh in anger at this bastard. It seemed that even after secretly poisoning the medicine he was given last time, this person hadn't improved at all.
They really have forgotten the pain once the wound has healed!
"Whether I heard it or not is none of your business."
The woman spoke in a cold voice, her tone carrying a chilling and intimidating pressure.
Upon hearing this, Xing'er was immediately stunned, followed by a feeling of apprehension.
She looked into Li Chang'an's eyes, which seemed to hold frost. She couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, and inwardly cursed herself for being in such a hurry to come out and show her face in public.
The reason was that she had always served Qin Xiashi closely. Before Li Chang'an returned to the General's Mansion, Qin Xiashi was the most powerful person in the General's Mansion, which naturally made this favorite of Qin Xiashi learn to abuse her power.
Xing'er didn't think of herself as the same as the other maids. Relying on her master's prestige, she was used to throwing her weight around in the general's mansion.
If she was Qin Xia's maid, then the other maids in the General's Mansion were of a lower status than her, at most considered cleaning maids.
Therefore, Xing'er often bossed around the other servants in the general's mansion.
Qin Xiashi was naturally aware of and tacitly approved of all of this, which over time led to Xing'er developing such an arrogant and domineering personality.
There's a saying that it's easy to develop a bad habit, but difficult to break it.
This statement couldn't be more fitting for Xing'er.
Although she became more restrained after witnessing Li Chang'an's prowess, it was only a temporary restraint.
Because she looked down on this general's wife who was reckless and lacked any femininity, she had no respect or awe for her.
Only after she truly felt the danger would she remember the things that almost killed her.
But as the saying goes, words spoken are like water spilled, and Xing'er is now in a dilemma facing Li Chang'an.
If she were to bite the bullet and argue back, she would certainly suffer the consequences. But if she backed down, firstly, she would be laughed at by the others in the General's Mansion, and she would lose face in the future. Secondly, she would also have to consider the face of her mistress, Madam Qin Xia.
"Get out of the way."
Li Chang'an felt extremely annoyed and then said irritably.
Then she couldn't help but think that instead of arguing with these women about these pointless topics all day long, she might as well move out of the general's mansion and just get away from seeing them and being bothered by them.
However, Li Chang'an silently rejected this idea as soon as it came up. Not to mention that he had nowhere better to go in the capital than the General's Mansion, there were also so many businesses behind the General's Mansion that needed someone to manage them.
If this nominal general's wife doesn't take care of things, relying solely on Qin Xia's reckless behavior, it's estimated that it won't be long before this woman squanders the entire century-old foundation of the general's mansion.
Xing'er naturally sensed the obvious anger in Li Chang'an's tone.
