Chapter 386 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (8)
Well, yes, it's the muscle shape she likes.
It's a pity, as long as it looks like a wolf or a lion, it has to look like a bear.
Jiang Lai closed his eyes, but the eyeballs under his eyelids kept turning. Tie Yi pursed his lips slightly when he saw this scene, and his face darkened as he looked at the closed door in front of him.
Chunyue on the side knelt down with a thud when she saw this.
"General, Madam has been standing in the cold wind for almost an hour. Madam is weak and can no longer hold on!"
At this time, the door of the ancestral hall that had been closed suddenly opened from the inside.
Xu Ruling stood inside and immediately saw Jiang Lai being held in Tie Yi's arms.
The man was so tall and majestic that his arms could completely wrap around a petite woman without any effort.
Xu Ruling's heart immediately became excited and her breathing became irregular.
"General, the old lady is trying to teach my wife the rules. Otherwise, if she doesn't go well in the future, she will run back to her parents' house, and the general's palace will lose face."
Xu Ruling always held her chin high when she spoke, her tone was as gentle as ever, but her eyes held gentle tenacity, like little white flowers blooming on a cliff, fragile but strong.
This is what the old lady likes.
Tie Yi also appreciated it.
Over time, Xu Ruling has placed herself in a position second only to the old lady. She looked at Tie Yi with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
Jiang Lai nestled in Tie Yi's arms, with a fox fur cloak underneath him, which was more comfortable than lying on the bed, especially when Tie Yi spoke, his chest "buzzed" in his ears, which was inexplicably hypnotic.
She stuck her head out, pretending to wake up leisurely, and looked at the man's chin. There was some stubble on it, but it didn't affect the appearance.
"General, I can explain to you what happened that night."
Xu Ruling watched coldly.
"The old lady is still waiting inside. Since she is fine, let's go in and say hello now."
Jiang Lai lay still and looked at Tie Yi.
She was thinking that if this man let her go now, she would go in and torture the mean old lady inside.
This hour's loss cannot be in vain. Tie Yi can almost understand his situation in the general's mansion, and Jiang Lai doesn't expect him to do anything else.
Jiang Lai was planning silently, waiting for Tie Yi to put her down. Unexpectedly, the man's hand was still holding her waist firmly and he said nothing.
"She is not feeling well now. Please come back another day to say hello to mother."
After saying that, Tie Yi hugged Jiang Lai and turned around to leave.
Even Jiang Lai herself was a little surprised. She had several calculations in her mind. The only thing she didn't expect was that Tie Yi, who had only met her once, would actually favor her.
The man was silent along the way, and Jiang Lai's free hands simply wrapped his arms around his neck to save him some strength.
"General, where were you last night?"
Tie Yi paused and looked down at her.
Does this woman have the nerve to ask?
"Barracks."
"Then will you come back tonight?"
Tie Yi had a sullen face and was hesitating whether to nod in agreement or not when he heard Jiang Lai say something else to himself.
"Forget it, the general still has to focus on national affairs. You are so busy on your wedding night. I must not disturb the general from doing his business."
The woman's voice was low and soft.
Tie Yi's throat tightened upon hearing this.
Is she complaining that he didn't go back on their wedding night?
Tie Yi didn't know how to explain it, so he told the truth that he didn't want to see Jiang Lai crying in fear? Or is he simply not interested in this new lady?
No matter what, he couldn't defend himself, and in the end he accepted Jiang Lai's words.
"Well, Beijing is not like the frontier, where things are busy."
"I know, General, you are busy with your business. Since I have married you as your wife, I will stay in the house every day from now on. I will never get angry and run back to my parents' home after being left out like that day."
Jiang Lai didn't intend to say the real reason why the original owner ran away.
She is still very unfamiliar with Tie Yi, and her words will only make the man think more, and Tie Yi may not believe her words without any evidence.
Since there is no need to cause any trouble to yourself, let's stay here for a while and take good care of ourselves first.
Tie Yi sent Jiang Lai back to his room. The bed in the other courtyard was still a bit small. It was just right for Jiang Lai to lie on it alone, but it would have been a bit crowded if there was one more person, let alone someone with a strong body like Tie Yi.
He glanced around, then took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Jiang Lai.
"Take the jade pendant and use the money in the house at your disposal. Buy whatever you need."
"General, let me ask you, who is Miss Xu?"
Jiang Lai asked bluntly, and Tie Yi didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
"Miss Xu is my mother's biological niece. Her parents died young and she has been raised in my home."
After he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Lai lowering his eyebrows and looking aggrieved. Tie Yi pursed his lips and said a few more words.
"I have been left unattended in the outer mansion all year round. My mother is old and only likes to chant sutras and worship Buddha, so Miss Xu has been helping to manage the internal affairs."
Jiang Lai smiled when he heard this, his charming eyes were very charming.
"That's good. I thought she was your concubine, reserved just to bully me."
Concubine is not a good word.
Tie Yi frowned, feeling secretly unhappy, but he didn't have an attack. He just glanced at Jiang Lai and left.
In the end, this woman still spoke freely. Although she was straightforward, she lacked discipline.
Tie Yi has no intention of treating his wife as his own soldier. He can silently hold back when he is slightly offended. Since he is married, regardless of whether he has feelings or not, he still has to treat her well and take responsibility.
"You can rest, I still have things to deal with."
"Well, if you don't reply tonight, I will go to bed early."
Tie Yi didn't like the feeling of being worried and restrained, so he shook his head.
"Don't wait for me."
After he left, Little Pudding couldn't help but dislike Jiang Lai.
"All men like virtuous women, but you are better off. If you are jealous and jealous, can he like her?"
"Is this the kind of person I am? Let him see clearly early."
"Pretend, otherwise how could he like you and love you? Since you plan to make him a target, just follow his preferences."
When Jiang Lai heard this, he raised his eyebrows and denied it without hesitation.
"I didn't say he was a target."
"Then why do you stay here? You deliberately flirted in front of him."
Little Pudding's foul mouth will be torn apart sooner or later.
"How can I, a weak woman, stay in the Marquis' Mansion if I don't stay in the General's Mansion? Why should I work hard on my own since someone is taking care of me?"
Why not save some energy?
After some time, she has arranged everything, and it will not be too late to reconcile.
"You are such a realistic woman."
"Shut your stinky mouth."
Besides, Tie Yi looks really good, and it’s a pleasure to look at him more than once every day.
As for now, just go to bed and talk about the rest tomorrow. (End of chapter)
