“Sister…” Aunt Wan stretched out her hand, then withdrew it, looking extremely helpless.
"You... how come the general is with you?" The second concubine disregarded herself and stood up, glaring angrily.
Aunt Wan was surprised, a blush creeping across her face. "Sister, I can't decide when the General will come to my place, I..."
"Shut up!" The second concubine raised her hand and slapped Aunt Wan across the face.
However, the slap remained suspended in mid-air and did not come down.
The sudden slap left the second concubine stunned.
Before she could react, she saw General Xie standing in front of her, glaring at her with an angry expression.
"What a jealous woman! I used to know you were generous and upright, but now I realize you are so narrow-minded. You would spout such nonsense just to win favor. If I hadn't happened to be here tonight, what would you have done?"
"No, General, I am clearly..."
It is clearly what it is.
Second Aunt was a smart woman; she knew that she had been too anxious and had lost her composure.
Looking at Aunt Wan's innocent face, it was clear that, regardless of the circumstances, she had lost the game.
She has no evidence; the more she says, the more mistakes she makes.
"It's clearly something, why do you need to say it in words, huh?"
"I..." Upon seeing the lingering lust in General Xie's eyes and the fact that he had just put on his clothes, the second concubine's heart ached even more, and she couldn't utter a single word.
"You're more trouble than you're worth! I've been too lenient with you lately, which is why you've become so arrogant and self-important." General Xie shouted angrily, then turned and strode away.
The second concubine stood there, unsure whether to turn left or right. Then she saw Aunt Wan standing at the doorway, looking helpless and fearful. At that moment, even the best pretense could not be maintained. She pushed the chicken soup aside and led her people away in a grand manner.
After a long while, Aunt Wan instructed the servants to leave before closing the door.
He turned around and looked at the woman who came out of the inner room.
"Thank you, Miss."
"No need to thank me. It's just that my second aunt slapped me during the day, and I was unhappy about it. I had to get my revenge. Of course, it was also a matter of timing, location, and people."
Xie Lingqin remained expressionless, her face as cold as ice.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wan's eyes flashed, and she stroked her lower abdomen. "After tonight's events, the General will surely harbor resentment towards you, Second Aunt. However, even a night of marriage brings a hundred days of kindness. You've been married for so many years; you won't collapse so easily."
"I know." Xie Lingqin glanced at Aunt Wan's belly, said nothing more, turned around, and left through the window.
