Due to the heavy rain outside, the news that Xiao Chuhong took Su Zhen back to the General's Mansion spread much slower than before.
But in the general's mansion, it was tantamount to triggering a 'big turmoil'.
Outside, the evil wind was blowing everywhere and the heavy rain was coming. After finishing their busy work, the servants and maids in the house gathered together to discuss Su Zhen's matter.
"Hey, have you heard? The general seems to have really brought Su Zhen back home!"
"The general didn't come back last night, and the madam was very upset because of it! It turns out that the madam already knew that our general was looking for Su Shaoqing! Could it be that the two of them have..."
"But the general and Su Shaoqing are both men. Not only can they not be included in the family tree, they can't even get married and have children!"
"You are thinking too far. It is true that we are close friends with the Taifu Mansion, but this kind of thing cannot be tolerated by the world. The marshal and his wife are the only son of the general. If they cut off their incest, how can they be worthy of the Xiao family?
Ancestor!"
"That's right! Speaking of which! Do you want us to go and take a look? I heard that the son of Su's eldest son is more handsome than Pan An, otherwise our general wouldn't be so obsessed with him."
"It's true! But I heard that he can control demons. Is it dangerous? I'm a little scared..."
"Don't even think about it. Our general has become famous at a young age and has great ambitions. If he can like Su Zhen, then Su Zhen must have great abilities. Even if there is danger, he must be obeyed by our general.
Posted."
"Shit! Don't forget, it was our general who robbed the prison car and complained first. I think it was Su Shaoqing who subdued the general!"
"You don't believe it? Then let's go and have a look! Let's see who guesses right!"
"Just go! Who is afraid of whom?"
...
When Su Zhen first followed Xiao Chuhong into the house, she was still a little unnatural.
On the contrary, Xiao Chuhong's raised lips never lowered.
Zhen Zhen is usually very talkative and can't stop talking, but I have never seen her look so 'shy'.
But in reality, Su Zhen was so shy. All she could think about was sneaking into the General's Mansion over the years and picking all the fruits in the orchard 'Shu Yaxuan' built by Marshal Xiao for Lu Jingshu...
It would be strange if the thief didn't feel guilty when he saw the real owner.
"Xiao Xiao, I didn't bring anything. It would be bad to come here empty-handed! How about we come back another day?"
"My mother doesn't mind those external things."
But she doesn’t mind!
Su Zhen took a deep breath, shook her head vigorously, and got rid of all the miscellaneous and strange thoughts.
Let go of Xiao Chuhong's hand, straighten his clothes, and use his spiritual power to evaporate all the water stains on his body.
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, do you think my hair is messy? Where are my clothes?"
Xiao Chuhong lowered his head when he heard the words, and combed the hair behind her ears. His fingertips brushed the side of her face, and then straightened her hair tie that was blown by the wind. He gently curved his lips, smiled fondly, and shook his head.
It caught her eye.
"She's so beautiful that she can't be tolerated by others."
He noticed that the eyes of the servants and maids around him were bright, their smiles were dull, Su Zhen's ears were hot, and she moved a little outside the umbrella.
"Come here, don't get caught in the rain." Xiao Chuhong took her hand again and pulled it back to him, "Don't hide from me."
"What?"
"There are so many peach blossoms around you. If you continue to be distant from me, as if you are ready to leave at any time, I will panic."
Su Zhen's heart beat like thunder for a moment, she raised her head suddenly and fell directly into the whirlpool of undisguised affection in his eyes.
"Why do you seem to be a different person recently...Actually, I'm not avoiding you, it's just that there are a lot of things that I can't explain at the moment, and I don't know where to start."
"Don't be afraid, don't panic, I have everything. I will wait for the day when you are willing to truly open your heart to me."
Su Zhen was stunned. Whenever there was trouble, others would either pin the 'root cause' on her, or come to look for solutions.
Only Xiao Chuhong is different. He is a cunning rabbit. He seems to do things inadvertently, but he often leaves many escape routes for her who acts in extreme ways, so that she will not end up with no way out after hitting her head and bleeding.
Today, Xiao Chuhong brought her back to the General's Mansion in a high-profile manner, and she didn't know why. Maybe it was impulsive, maybe... he was really ready to deal with everything.
"Xiao Xiao, are you really aroused by the princess? You don't need to care so much, we really have nothing to do with you."
Xiao Chuhong deliberately looked directly at Su Zhen, but avoided Su Zhen's explanation.
"I want to tell the world that you are my, Xiao Chuhong's, and no one can get even a hint of it."
"So unreasonable? Aren't you afraid of scaring me away?"
"Run? Where do you want to escape?"
"I can fly, can you? If I fly to the sky, can you find me?"
Xiao Chuhong looked up at the sky, "Is it difficult?"
"I don't know who it was a few days ago. Because my Qinggong was not good, I even injured my hand."
Xiao Chuhong raised his eyebrows and showed a malicious look.
Li Jiu held an umbrella alone and looked at the two people in front of him who were whispering side by side. Many people held their breaths, watching his general leaning over and kissing Su Zhen's lips. After a brief taste, he couldn't help but raise his hand to caress.
Forehead.
"Ahem! General! Even if you are at home, you should be more careful!"
As expected, he received Xiao Chuhong's warning look. In order to save this month's moon silver, Li Jiu made a sealing gesture, tensed his facial muscles, and showed a fake smile.
Xiao Chuhong gave Su Zhen the 'reassurance pill' that made her feel much calmer.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, several people quickly entered the front yard.
The General's Mansion is not like the poetic and picturesque Taifu's Mansion, where everything is simplified and seemingly ordinary, but every object, from the fake gables to the smallest bricks and tiles, is carved by skilled craftsmen.
Crafted with care.
Su Zhen's familiarity with the house was within Xiao Chuhong's expectation, and the secret guards had been dealing with Su Zhen secretly all year round. In addition, Xiao Chuhong told them not to do anything, so they suffered a lot.
The butler, who was nearly sixty years old, listened to the discussion of his servants with a smile on his face, but when he turned around, he put on a solemn expression.
"General, Su Shaoqing, the evil wind has stopped, but the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Madam, it's time to wait. You can go back to the house and chat slowly."
Whenever Su Zhen felt embarrassed, she would subconsciously touch her earlobes. She couldn't break free anyway, so she simply tightened her grip.
Li Jiu looked at them, his smile gradually turning from discomfort to relief.
No matter what you say, the general finally has someone he likes. It's a bit difficult, but it's better than suffering the cold eyes and contempt of those people every day.
Besides, Su Shaoqing seemed to have nothing else besides his venomous mouth, his love for visiting red buildings, and his entanglement with Princess Jingyao.
Oh! And Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu seems to be very interested in Su Shaoqing. He always feels that between the two of them... there is a big secret hidden behind the general's back!
