Hongxiu didn't know who he was talking about, she just kept begging him.
"Noisy." There was some anger in his voice.
"You can offend me several times with just a few words. You are really amazing."
"These hands are quite bold."
As he spoke, he thought of Su Qian's hands. Because she often disguised herself as a man, she often painted herself black and didn't grow her nails, perhaps because she was afraid of being discovered as a woman.
He still remembered the day when she first came to Zhiyi City and said she wanted to offer advice to help him.
The next morning, after she took a bath, her original fair skin was revealed, so white that it was dazzling.
Perhaps it was from that moment that a unique mark was left in his heart.
At that time, he was wondering what on earth had caused her to be so cruel as to disguise herself as a man to get close to him.
Why exactly?
Later she said that she loved him and wanted him to take her away.
But now, she is about to marry Yan Xuanye.
Lu Huan was lost in his memories and muttered to himself, "Liar."
She actually lied to him!
Hongxiu was shocked by his words and kept explaining, "This slave did not lie to you. This slave truly loves you!"
Lu Huan came back to his senses and sneered, "Since your hands are so bold, I will chop them off."
Hongxiu cried out in fear and fell to her knees, "General, please let me go. I will never do this again!"
Lu Huanyun said calmly, "You should be thankful that I didn't take your life."
He pushed hard, loosening the shackles on her, and Hongxiu fell to the ground before she could feel the pain.
Then he heard Lu Huan speak without hesitation towards the door, "Zitan, come in!"
There was a rustling of leaves outside, and Zitan pushed the door open and walked in, bowing and greeting, "Master."
"Cut off her dishonest hands. If she's not dead, sell her off. If she's dead, give her a nice coffin."
Zitan: "I obey your command."
Hongxiu stared at Lu Huan's back with her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe that the general she had been serving was so cruel and ruthless.
Hongxiu hesitated for two seconds, and seeing that Zitan was about to drag her away, she spoke inconsolably, "General, I have served you for all this time. Even if I haven't done anything for you, I have worked hard. How can you be so heartless?"
She wanted to scream and plead for mercy, but Zitan took out a piece of silk cloth from somewhere and stuffed it into her mouth, blocking her mouth tightly, and then dragged her out.
"Zhong Cang!" Lu Huan said loudly.
"I'm here!" Zhong Cang rushed out immediately.
He said hurriedly, "Take two teams of capable men and follow me to Zhiyi City!"
Zhong Cang, who was half-crouching on the ground waiting for orders, suddenly looked up when he heard this, "General, why do you suddenly want to go to Zhiyi City?"
Lu Huan gritted his teeth and spat out two words: "Bridal Robbery!"
Zhong Cang: “!!!”
He also heard some things outside. The little maid relied on the fact that she had served the general for several years and dared to seduce the general. Fortunately, the general was sharp-eyed and did not fall into her trap.
But now, he was going to rob a bride? Whose bride was he robbing?
Didn’t you say... that you have to observe mourning?
…
…
It was the hour of Yin, and the dusk had not yet completely faded. Occasionally, the sounds of roosters crowing and birds singing could be heard. Su Qian was sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, someone gently pushed her shoulders twice, and Cuiwei's gentle voice rang in her ears, "Miss...Miss, it's time to get up. I still need to put on makeup and wash up for you."
Su Qian rubbed his eyes sleepily, then sat up straight and asked her drowsily, "What time is it?"
Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Su Qian then realized that she had traveled through time and should be able to understand ancient words.
"I'm asking, what time is it?"
Cuiwei: "It's not even daylight outside."
Cuiwei mistakenly thought she was just talking in her sleep and thought she was very cute. "It's the hour of Yin now, my dear girl, hurry up and get up. It will be too late to wait until daybreak."
"knew."
Cuiwei and the others helped her wash up, and then began to ask the maid to comb her hair. "Young lady, this is Aunt Yu, and this is Aunt Jiang. They both have happy families and have been engaged in marriage for many years. They are perfect elders."
"Having them dress up for the young lady will surely add luster to her married life. She and His Highness will surely enjoy a loving marriage, and their married life will surely be sweeter than honey."
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "This girl has a very sweet mouth."
"However, while we are dressing the goddess, we will also talk to her about some private topics about her upcoming marriage. Miss Cuiwei is not married yet, so why not leave first?"
Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Yes. But Sister Lu Feng doesn't have to go out. His Highness has instructed Sister Lu Feng to protect the young lady's safety at all times."
Aunt Yu: "Okay, we understand."
The woman in front of the mirror suddenly blushed for some reason, and her eyes moved around, making her look more charming and lovely.
Mrs. Jiang was about to powder her face when she took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, the goddess' face is so white and rosy, it looks like she's put on rouge."
It’s not her fault. After all, she was only eighteen years old and had never even held a man’s hand before Yan Xuanye.
Now... she is about to marry him, and she has to listen to two old women talking about women's private matters in front of Lu Feng, an unmarried girl.
The change in her identity, the awkward aura and atmosphere around her, the smiling faces of the two maids, the words they said when joking with her, formed a sharp contrast with Lu Fengban's serious and cold face, making her feel at a loss.
