Xie Lingqin frowned. These words were indeed flawless, but there was still a problem.
To be honest, this giant clam shell gave her a very strange feeling.
“Alright, then tomorrow you can stay in my room and help me with the embroidery.” Xie Lingqin made the decision immediately.
Upon hearing this, Tridacna nodded emphatically, her face beaming with pride. "Don't worry, Miss, I will certainly not disappoint you."
"Then you can go down first."
"Yes... However, Miss, I have another matter to discuss."
"explain."
Seeing a faint smile on Xie Lingqin's face, Tridacna was no longer nervous. Her voice stopped stammering, and a smile even appeared on her lips. "This servant is not only good at embroidery, but I can also learn other people's embroidery skills. I can imitate anyone perfectly."
"Oh?" Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow, looked at the giant clam shell, and after a long while, nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Tridacna withdrew, but Zihe was still depressed. After a long while, she looked at Xie Lingqin and said, "Miss, how could this servant have such courage..."
"Don't you feel like the giant clam is looking at me like a child looks at its mother?" Xie Lingqin continued Zihe's words.
Zihe smiled awkwardly, but nodded seriously, "Yes, before, I thought this girl was strange and was always on guard against her, but the more I observed her, the more I found that she was truly loyal to Miss."
Xie Lingqin looked out the door, lost in thought.
This giant clam is indeed strange. It often sneaks out and sneaks back. The way it looks at you is absolutely not hostile. In fact, it seems to be very afraid of you, extremely afraid of you.
She raised her hand to touch her face; her features...
Not bad at all, she's actually quite lucky for her husband.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Xie Lingqin had just finished her breakfast when Xianglong came in with a smile.
Xie Lingqin forced herself to stay awake and listened to Xianglong's rambling for half the morning before finally managing to get rid of her. Afterward, she tossed all the needlework to Tridacna and then happily relaxed and went to bed to rest.
The giant clam shell is completed when the sun sets.
Even though she had been told not to be too flamboyant, the embroidery was still exquisitely detailed and beautifully crafted, Xie Lingqin couldn't help but take a second look.
When Zihe handed the incense to Xianglong, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly withdrew.
Naturally, Zihe came up to report shortly afterward.
Sure enough, she was a double agent. She first went to see the second concubine, and then went to report back to General Xie.
Later, he secretly went to the small kitchen and poisoned it.
Xie Lingqin listened to Zihe's words, her starry eyes narrowed, but Guanghui was looking at the sapling swaying in the wind outside the courtyard.
Zihe couldn't figure out what Xie Lingqin was thinking, but she knew that her mistress must already have a plan in mind.
"Butler, are you not busy?" Xie Lingqin suddenly turned to look at Zihe.
“…Yes.” Zihe’s mind raced, and she instantly understood. A look of surprise crossed her face. “Miss, you don’t mean to…”
...
As night fell, the entire general's mansion was shrouded in a thin autumn mist, making the night seem even more profound and quiet. The withered yellow leaves and newly emerging flower buds exuded a fragrant aroma.
But from behind a rockery in the side courtyard, a faint, strange noise could be heard at that moment.
Although it is very low, it can be heard clearly if you get close.
"Hmm...be gentle..."
"Hehehe... I didn't miss you... There are only three days a month, and I was thinking... hurry up... give me a kiss, and take this off..."
"You're not close to the person in your family..."
"Hey, that tigress, she's nowhere near as good as you..."
The ambiguous, warm voice drifted over on the wind, accompanied by a symphony of sounds that made one blush and their heart race.
After a long while, with a satisfied sigh, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Meanwhile, behind the artificial hill, amidst the flowers and greenery, two bodies, seemingly inseparable and naked, were unaware that a pair of feet were silently approaching them.
Her steps were unhurried, yet without a sound. Her skirt brushed against the grassy path, then was blown away by the wind, its hem flowing freely.
Then, the owner of those feet suddenly lit up the lantern in his hand, handed it forward, and spoke softly.
"You two, are you enjoying it?"
Her voice was so gentle it sounded like heavenly music, yet it was enough to startle the two people who were still clinging to each other and craving intimacy, causing them to immediately separate. But in the instant they separated, they probably realized that they were both completely naked, and hurriedly and frantically clung to each other again.
"Big...Big...Miss..." A trembling voice came from Liu Mama's mouth. Looking at Xie Lingqin standing there in white, she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak properly.
The woman who was holding him tightly had a body of white flesh that was clearly visible in the moonlight, but the slightly loose skin still made Xie Lingqin frown. "Butler's body is really awful."
The man, his face beaded with sweat, was none other than the steward of the general's mansion. He was a far cry from his usual composed and meticulous self; his eyes were filled with terror.
"I must say, the two of them are really deeply in love, still hugging so tightly even now." Xie Lingqin handed the small lantern in her hand to Zihe, who was following closely behind, and said in a light tone.
Behind her, Zihe's face was actually a little red. The sight of white flesh in front of her was so unpleasant to look at that she couldn't bear to see it, but she saw that her young mistress was so calm and composed.
The two originally wanted to get their clothes and put them on, but under Xie Lingqin's cold gaze, they dared not make a move.
"Please spare me, young lady!"
"Young Miss, we were both confused for a moment, please spare our lives!"
Granny Liu and the steward finally realized what was happening and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Xie Lingqin looked away. "To be more direct, if you do me a favor, I can pretend I didn't see what happened earlier."
