"Qiu Xing, come and try this. This candy is delicious. It was given to me by your aunt." Huo Yajie handed the candy to Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing didn't stand on ceremony and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
"Wow, this is so delicious! Miss, do you want to ask your aunt where she bought it? Let's go buy some too!"
Qiu Xing stared longingly at her young mistress.
He then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
It's so delicious!
"Okay, I'll ask your aunt next time I see her." Huo Yajie was very easy to talk to.
At this moment, Granny Han walked to the door and said, "Miss, the hot water is ready, you can take a bath now."
Huo Yajie nodded: "Okay."
She stood up and pulled Qiu Xing along, saying, "Come on, let's go take a bath together."
Qiu Xing didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and happily went to take a bath with her mistress.
The two little girls played and laughed in the bathtub.
It wasn't until they heard Granny Han coughing outside that the two exchanged a glance and covered their mouths to chuckle.
"Miss, please go out quickly, or Granny Han will start scolding you."
"Uh-huh."
After taking a bath, the master and servant quickly went to bed.
Logically speaking, Qiu Xing should have kept watch for Huo Yajie.
But this isn't the capital city, so why are there so many rules here?
Huo Yajie always let Qiuxing go to sleep by herself.
The two people lived next door, but Qiu Xing's room was slightly smaller than Huo Yajie's, after all, there was a difference between master and servant.
"Qiu Xing, will you sleep with me tonight?"
"Okay, okay."
In fact, Huo Yajie had a lot on her mind that she wanted to confide in Qiu Xing.
After all, Qiu Xing was the person she trusted most.
only……
"Phew~~"
"tasty!"
"Bang!"
Huo Yajie silently and laboriously moved Qiu Xing's thick legs off her stomach, then curled up against the edge of the bed to sleep.
All I could hear was Qiu Xing's contented breathing as she slept.
"well."
Autumn apricot's heart, even if dried in the sun, would probably weigh less than two ounces!
You don't take anything to heart!
Don't you ever think about why you want her to sleep with you?
However, Huo Yajie actually fell asleep quite quickly while listening.
Arriving in this unfamiliar environment, she had stayed up for a long time before finally falling asleep last night, but she didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly today.
Perhaps this is the benefit of having someone by your side.
——
At the same time, at the General's Mansion in the capital.
"Alright, you can go now." When Madam Wang saw Huo Minglang arrive, she quickly gave Granny Wang a look, signaling her to leave.
Huo Minglang's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Why is she back? Wasn't she taking care of Ya Jie in Pinghe Town?"
"Sigh, the older Ya Jie gets, the more unpredictable her temperament becomes. She doesn't like being served by Granny Wang, so she sent Granny Wang and several servants back. She only kept one Granny Wang, one servant, and two maids, saying it would be quiet."
Wang Shi observed the man's expression, and while helping him undress, she answered softly.
Since being demoted to a concubine, Lady Wang has been even more careful in serving Huo Minglang.
Huo Minglang was annoyed: "How old is Ya Jie? How can she manage without someone to serve her?"
"General, if it weren't for the fact that Ya Jie's luck has been bad for her son these past two years, I wouldn't be willing to let my daughter leave home."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears, crying uncontrollably.
Tears fell in long, distinct drops.
Huo Minglang suppressed his anger, helped her up with pity, and sighed, "How could I not know your good intentions? But Ya Jie is so young, it's not safe for just one servant. Send four or five more. Also, give Ya Jie some more money."
"Look at what the general is saying, I am his own mother!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"General~"
The two of them talked and then rolled onto the bed. After about ten breaths, they stopped and Huo Minglang went to take a shower.
Wang gritted her teeth in anger and went to take a bath, looking very upset.
Once he was back in bed, Huo Minglang told Wang about his plans.
“A household cannot function without a wife in charge, so I plan to elevate Lady Liu to the rank of concubine, so that she can at least manage the interactions with the women in the capital.”
"How can that be?" Madam Wang sat up abruptly, her teeth clenched. "How can someone as lowly as her be worthy of being the mistress of the General's mansion? Wouldn't that make people look down on the General?"
That bitch wants to climb over her?
Keep dreaming!
It's absolutely impossible unless she dies!
Huo Minglang, who was impatient with such matters, actually nodded in agreement upon hearing this: "You're right, we should find someone of noble birth, but you're not suitable right now... So I'll marry a second wife with a clean background."
Wang was dumbfounded!
Why do you need to marry a second wife?
She's young and comes from a respectable family; what if she's also beautiful and manages to steal the general away?
"No way!"
For a moment, Ms. Wang couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and just stiffly said no.
Huo Minglang was annoyed: "This won't work, that won't work, so why don't you tell me what to do? Whatever you say, we'll do it, okay?"
He wouldn't have brought anyone into his household unless he needed a suitable woman to maintain his relationships with other women in the capital.
Women are all trouble.
Why would he want to invite trouble upon himself?
"I……"
Wang was in a state of utter confusion and didn't know what to do.
Huo Minglang didn't bother waiting for her response and made the final decision: "Alright, let's decide on this."
Then I pulled the blanket over myself and went straight to sleep.
