Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 166 Blame

Seeing Xiao Xiang's surprised expression, Xiao Mo had to explain to her.

"Of course he has to refuse you, otherwise he will be the mastermind.

But since he wants to get rid of me and doesn't want to be contaminated himself, he can only ask you to help him.

Think about it, why did he lose his token when he met you instead of earlier or later?

And they seemed to know where the token fell, and fearing you wouldn't know how to use it, they had the guards reveal it to you through conversation."

The more Xiao Xiang listened, the calmer her expression became, and finally she curled the corners of her mouth in self-mockery.

Xiao Mo sighed softly and wanted to reach out and pat her hand, but she paused and then put it back.

"Prince Su is not as simple as he seems, but it's all over, so don't think about it anymore."

Xiao Xiang looked up and looked at Xiao Mo deeply, then slowly lowered her head.

Xiao Mo didn't know whether she had heard it or not, and frowned helplessly.

"I've told you so much today just to tell you that instead of blaming me for pushing myself into the abyss, it's better to live a good life.

Let others say whatever they want to say. The more you show that you care about them, the more excited they will be.

If you take it lightly, they will find it boring and end the topic.

Just like the rumors in the streets and alleys at that time that I did not observe the virtues of a woman and had an affair with the Crown Prince who was then His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

I believe you have heard about it, but I ignored it and the rumor died down naturally."

After saying that, she stood up and walked to her side, hesitated for a moment, and patted her shoulder gently.

"One more thing, don't let yourself be taken advantage of again."

Xiao Xiang glanced at the hand on her shoulder and nodded: "I understand."

"Go back, back to your Lixiang Courtyard. You will still be the second young lady of the mansion. I will tell my father about this. I will also find a chance to help you free yourself from slavery."

Xiao Xiang gritted her teeth and lowered her head. She didn't want to cry in front of Xiao Mo.

As a result, due to obstructed vision, he bumped into Shen Yun who was returning from outside as soon as he went out.

Shen Yun recognized her as Xiao Xiang at a glance, and pointed at her in surprise, looking at Xiao Mo who was sitting in the room.

Xiao Mo glanced at her. Although she didn't understand, she still made way and walked around.

After Xiao Xiang walked away, Shen Yun turned around in confusion: "Miss, what's going on? Is she bothering you again?"

"No, I talked to her to see if she can change her ways."

Xiao Mo sipped her tea elegantly and spoke calmly.

Shen Yun laughed speechlessly as if she had heard something incredible, then sat down next to her and poured herself a glass.

"It's good enough that she's reformed and not resorted to the same old tricks again. After all the things she's done, are you going to forgive her just like that?"

"I can't say I forgive her. I just came back and saw her sweeping the yard. Her miserable appearance didn't make me feel relieved. Instead, I felt depressed."

Xiao Mo herself didn't know what that feeling was, perhaps it was the so-called blood relationship.

Shen Yun pursed her lips helplessly and tilted her head with a half-smile: "She has a vicious heart, and there's no way to change it."

Xiao Mo thought about her words and looked towards the gate of the courtyard: "I don't know if she is the kind of person you said.

But if she can really change, she can have a fresh start after she wakes up from sleep. If she can't change, I won't give her a second chance to start over."

Shen Yun wanted to say something, but when she raised her eyes, she met Xiao Mo's sharp gaze. She was so scared that she swallowed the words back in an instant.

Xiao Mo looked at her straightly: "What happened between you and Xu Renchuan last night?"

"What do you mean? Nothing happened!" Shen Yun blinked and looked at her in confusion.

Xiao Mo frowned slightly: "You've been staying at his place, and you didn't do anything?"

Shen Yun almost spit out the tea she had just taken when she asked this question.

"You often stay at Prince Chen's Mansion! What do you do?"

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and grabbed her with an annoyed look, tickling her: "Well, you actually framed me, you..."

"Ahahaha, no, I don't dare, miss, please forgive me, hahaha..."

The two were fighting when the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from outside.

They were startled for a moment out of reflex, but after seeing that the person coming was Xiao Wenbo, Xiao Mo's expression changed from shock to confusion, and she walked up to him in confusion.

"What happened to father?"

Xiao Wenbo approached her angrily, his face dark as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Xiang'er has learned her lesson. It was me who allowed her and Lin to stay in the mansion. No matter what, she is still your sister. How could you have the heart to kill her?"

Xiao Mo stood up and looked him in the eye confidently: "What did father see? Is that why he decided that I wanted to kill you all?"

"Just now I clearly saw Xiang'er crying and walking out of your yard. Do you dare to say that you didn't do anything to her?"

Xiao Wenbo pointed at the door and questioned Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo swept her sharp eyes across his face and curled the corners of her mouth coldly.

"Father is so capable, why don't you ask the Emperor to release her from slavery, so that she won't have to stay at home as a servant and be bullied by me?"

"you!"

Xiao Wenbo raised his hand in anger, but was stopped by Murong Shu who came rushing over when he was about to strike.

"master!"

Murong Shu hurried in and protected Xiao Mo behind her: "The slap from the master will hurt more than just the relationship between father and daughter."

Xiao Wenbo thought about her words and slowly put down his hand.

Xiao Mo raised her chin fearlessly and pulled Murong Shu away: "Let him hit me, he is my father after all!"

Xiao Wenbo's anger, which had just calmed down a little, was ignited again by her words.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Murong Shu hurriedly came forward to protect him again.

"Master, you are confused. It was Xiao Xiang who harmed Mo'er first. She deserves this fate.

According to the law, she should have been sold off, but now she is kept in the mansion. Even if Moer says a few words to her, she should bear it!"

Xiao Mo unhappily withdrew her gaze from Xiao Wenbo's face and looked at her: "When did I say anything about her? Did she tell you?"

Xiao Wenbo's expression, which originally looked a little guilty because of Murong Shu's words, changed instantly after hearing Xiao Mo's words.

"You, go apologize to your sister right now?"

"Apologize to her. Are you sick or am I sick?" Xiao Mo raised her eyebrows sarcastically.

The anger that Xiao Wenbo had suppressed in his heart and had not yet subsided suddenly surged into his heart.

He laughed out of anger, pointing at Xiao Mo unsteadily: "Well, now you've grown up, your wings are strong, and you don't even listen to me."

Xiao Mo continued to confront him, staring at him without blinking.

"I didn't grow up by you. No matter how strong my wings are, they were grown by my master's careful care. It has nothing to do with you.

You should be thankful that you are my father, otherwise I don’t know what I would have done.”

Xiao Mo spoke these heartfelt words without any warmth, completely ignoring Xiao Wenbo who was so angry that he had a heart attack, and passed by him coldly.

Shen Yun bowed to them and hurriedly chased after them.
