Chapter 383 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (5)
Before setting off, Mrs. Zhao held Jiang Lai's hand with reluctance and gave gentle instructions.
"When you arrive at the General's Mansion, you must be careful to serve the General. You must not be jealous because of other women in the Mansion. Also, remember to take the medicine your mother prepares for you every day. You must not stop it for a whole day, you know?"

Jiang Lai turned around, looked at the package of medicinal materials placed on the carriage by Mrs. Zhao, and nodded calmly.
"Yes, I remember."
"Mom knows that you are now the general's wife and your status is extraordinary, but no matter who you are, you are still the child that came out of my mother's belly.
Where did the overnight feud between mother and daughter come from? Mom knows that what you said before were all angry words, and she was also at fault. In the future, we, mother and daughter, will work together to make you live a good life. ”
Mrs. Zhao was very good at coaxing people. Jiang Lai listened without changing his expression and nodded casually. Finally, he got into the carriage and watched Mrs. Zhao wiping away her tears and crying behind her. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Her eyes are like faucets, tears come at any time."
Anyone who looks at it can doubt that there is something wrong with her mother-son affection.
Jiang Lai lowered the curtain indifferently, looked at the medicinal materials beside him, opened it and showed it to Little Pudding.
"It is true that they are both tonics, but when used together, their efficacy is very problematic. It can easily lead to deficiencies from the inside out without supplementation, and the complexion will be damaged and the skin quality will deteriorate, and it is not easy to conceive."
The original owner had been taking this medicine since he was a child.
“Having trouble conceiving?”
This is strange. In the plot, the original owner arrived at Huangfu's house, and there were only one baby every year, which was easier than pigs giving birth.
"Yes, it can only be said that you are extremely talented. You can still be pregnant even though you take such harmful medicine every day."
"No ivory comes out of a dog's mouth."
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, the guard at the door saw that it was Jiang Lai and stopped her directly outside the door.
"Let me go and report."
Jiang Lai waited outside for a while, but didn't see the guard coming back. He knew what was going on and walked directly inside.
"Madam, no one is allowed to enter the general's residence without reporting."
"You still know that I am Madam, get out of the way."
The guards were still blocking him, and Jiang Lai walked directly inside, his eyes solemn and sharp.
"If you have anything to do, let the general come and tell me directly. If you hurt me now, then you have to think about the sin of hurting the general's wife."
When the guard heard this, he quickly put down his weapon and blocked it with his hand.
As a result, Jiang Lai pinched his wrist and pushed it back easily. The guard was shocked at first, and then his hand was pulled away with his face twisted, and he watched Jiang Lai walk straight into the house.
The guard looked at the woman in front of him in shock, marveling at how strong she was!
"Quickly report to Miss Xu that Madam has entered the house."
Little Pudding had good ears and told Jiang Lai immediately.
"Miss Xu? There is no mention of Miss Xu in the plot."
Jiang Lai smiled.
"I was dismissed by the general in less than three days. Of course, the real person in the general's mansion will not show up."
With that said, Jiang Lai walked straight into the general's courtyard. On the day of the wedding, she hurriedly entered this courtyard except for the church service, and was then sent directly to another courtyard.
Jiang Lai has a good memory, and he can still find the main courtyard hidden in the deepest part of this huge general's mansion.
There are bamboos planted on both sides of the yard. The bleak bamboo forest rustles when the cold wind blows. Next to the bamboo forest is a clear pool of water. The main courtyard is built next to the pool of water, which looks very elegant.
Jiang Lai glanced around and finally set his sights on the pavilion in the courtyard.
Looking from a distance, there was a person sitting under the pavilion. When Jiang Laigang noticed her, the person slowly got up and walked over.
The person approaching was a young girl, wearing a dark blue fox fur cloak. Although the clothes were simple but exquisite and expensive, her long hair was tied behind her back with only a simple green hairpin.
Behind her, there was a maid, standing respectfully aside.
The girl came closer and leaned slightly towards Jiang Lai.
"I went to see my wife in the morning but I didn't see her. Later I found out that she had returned to her parents' home. I don't know what happened to her parents' family. Please tell me carefully so that I can go back and report to the general."
The voice was also light and transparent, like a lark in the bamboo forest, soft and soft, just like Jiang Yu.
Jiang Lai looked at her, looking up and down.
This unabashed look made Xu Ruling a little dissatisfied, but she still smiled generously on her face.
"Madam probably wants to ask about my identity. I have lived in the mansion for more than ten years. Everyone in the mansion calls me Miss Xu. Madam, you can also call me Aunt Xu in the future..."
"Xiao Xu, right? The general doesn't seem to have any concubines, nor any brothers or sisters, nor any distant cousins. So you and the general who are not related to each other are the... maids of the general's mansion.
Well, I will change your name to Xiao Xu from now on. This name is not nice either. I will think about it carefully and give you a nicer name. ”
The smile on Xu Ruling's face could no longer be stretched.
Xiao Xu? Maid?
Does the woman in front of me know who she is?
Didn't you find out before coming to the General's Mansion who the real person in charge of internal affairs in the General's Mansion was? !
Xu Ruling didn't expect that Jiang Lai, a concubine from the Hou family, would be so arrogant and arrogant. She gave her a thin face and called her madam. She didn't expect that she would actually treat her as his madam. He gave her power when she first came. It was really vulgar!
Jiang Lai was too lazy to continue playing tricks with her, so he bypassed Xu Ruling and walked straight to the inner courtyard. He glanced over and saw that the largest room in front of him must be Tie Yi's bedroom.
She walked forward and pushed open the bedroom door. Sure enough, what she saw was a dark big bed, a long table and a chair under the window. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the whole house. It looked very stiff and cold. .
Xu Ruling watched Jiang Lai wantonly committing suicide, and did not step forward to stop him. Instead, he pursed his lips and smiled.
The maid behind him whispered.
"This general's wife is so brave. She actually dares to break into the general's chamber. She is so presumptuous. Girl, won't you step forward and stop her?"
"She is my wife. How dare I say anything more? Let's go to the ancestral hall."
At this time, Jiang Lai was looking around the whole room, and finally sat down on Tie Yi's bed, his hard buttocks bulging.
After looking around, Jiang Lai turned around and left for another courtyard.
"What are you doing? Just go for a spin?"
"Otherwise? How can I sleep on a broken hard bed?"
Jiang Lai originally wanted to live in it directly, but the shabby house was really crude, which made Jiang Lai, who never wronged himself, immediately change his mind.
"Let's take a rest first."
Jiang Lai hadn't slept well since yesterday, and he was still feeling sore and dizzy.
Back in the other courtyard, the room was still decorated as it was last night. The red candles had burned out and only a pool of candle oil remained. The bed still had a red brocade quilt and two cross-necked mandarin duck pillows placed at the head of the bed. (End of chapter)
