Chapter 57: Wearing the Stars and Wearing the Moon
Tuo Jinglie's silver horse galloped in the moonlight. Even though it was a vast and sparsely populated area in the Turkic capital, Tuo Jinglie's general's palace was in a large pasture, so it was far away from home. He was supposed to come back by carriage tomorrow.
, but the person in his heart couldn't tolerate him waiting a little longer, so he could only rush home all night
Tuo Jinglie walked to the door of the general's mansion. The young boy who was dozing off saw his general coming back and trembled. Tuo Jinglie just waved his hand, "Don't be alarmed!"
He looked at the red lanterns hanging everywhere. He could just follow the light and find it home. This lantern should have been hung by Jian Xiao. He looked at the big word "Tuo" on the lantern, and he felt very happy in his heart.
Soon, he found Jian Xiao's room. He pushed the door, but it was unlocked. Tuo Jinglie's mouth moved. After not seeing each other for a few days, Jian Xiao felt a lot bolder. He opened the door and walked into the room.
, the sweet smell in the room was pleasant, everything was so familiar. He had long been accustomed to the furnishings in the room, and soon touched the bedside.
He took off his coat and sat on the bed. He wanted to touch Jian Xiao, but he thought that he had just come back from outside and his hands and feet were still warm and cold.
"I'm back!" Tuo Jinglie said in a low voice.
"Um……"
Tuo Jinglie's whole body got on the bed, lying on one side, touching his hair with one hand. He felt that the touch was a little different today. He hesitated for a moment, and before he could react, he felt the man's hand on his arm, gently
He murmured, "Alie..."
Jian Xiao had never called herself this. Tuo Jinglie's mind became hot and a grappling hand grabbed the woman's neck tightly. The man was awakened from his sleep and screamed, "What are you doing? Help!"
After Tuo Jinglie heard this voice, he loosened his grip and said, "Shi Cuiyu?"
"Hmm! What are you doing? Ariel, are you going to strangle me to death?" Shi Cuiyu coughed, "What are you going to do?"
Tuo Jinglie lit the candle with a fire stick. This was clearly Jian Xiao's room. Why was there another woman here? He looked at the bed. Shi Cuiyu's breasts were half exposed and he looked at Tuo Jinglie with a confused expression.
Jian Xiao, this dead woman!
A roar suddenly erupted over the General's Mansion. The roar pierced the sky, and the entire General's Mansion trembled at the sound. Then people woke up and got up one after another. They knew that someone was about to go crazy.
It was an unusually dark night in the middle of the night, but the General's Mansion was brightly lit, making it look like day. Tuo Jinglie sat in the hall with a dark face, and there were people kneeling below. Even Boken knelt down and whispered.
Shi Cuiyu obeyed the order and stood on one side tremblingly, glancing at Tuo Jinglie secretly, not knowing what would happen.
Tuo Jinglie scanned a circle of people and found that the culprit Jian Xiao was not among them, so he asked sharply: "Where is Jian Xiao?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Boken whispered, "Are you still resting in the room?"
"Hmph!" Tuo Jinglie sneered, "She is not the one sleeping in her room. Who let her in?"
Everyone bowed their heads in silence, Shi Cuiyu cleared her throat, "It's sister Jian Xiao! She said that I am from the General's Mansion, and I can come and stay as long as I want."
"Shameless!" Tuo Jinglie didn't even look at her, "You're not the one I, Tuo Jinglie, married? Why do you have the right to live here!"
"Neither can sister Jian Xiao, why can she?" Shi Cuiyu asked with a raised face.
Tuo Jinglie was speechless for a moment and just slammed the table, "Where's Jian Xiao!"
No one in the room answered, either because they didn't dare, or because they didn't know where she had gone.
"She said she lives in a room across from the corridor!" Shi Cuiyu whispered.
Tuo Jinglie stood up after hearing the sound, leaving a large room of people behind
"Bang!" Jian Xiao woke up instantly. She sat up and saw a dark figure at the door, "Who is it?" Jian Xiao pulled out the whip from under the pillow, "How dare you break into the general's mansion!"
"You still know that this is the General's Mansion?" Tuo Jinglie said coldly, "It's not easy!"
As soon as Jian Xiao heard what was said, he put down his whip and went back to sleep, "What are you doing at night?"
Before her back even touched the bed, Jian Xiao felt her collar being grabbed tightly, "Why did you move out? Why did you let Shi Cuiyu come?"
Jian Xiao stared at Tuo Jinglie's eyes. There was no trace of luster in them. Every bit of sleepiness was driven away by Tuo Jinglie's coldness. She shook off Tuo Jinglie's hand and said, "What do you think of this family?"
I have full authority to make the decision. I am willing to sleep here, but do you care?"
"Where's Shi Cuiyu?" Tuo Jinglie asked word by word.
"She said that you two were childhood sweethearts, and I have the token from the General's Mansion that you gave me. Do I dare to stop you?" Jian Xiao's eyes were now somewhat accustomed to the black color. She touched the fire fold, opened the lid, and blew on it. There was nothing.
Light it up, blow it again, before it turns on, Tuo Jinglie grabs it, blows it gently, and the fire stick emits a faint light. He flicks his fingertips, and the flame flies to the candle like a butterfly, and the room lights up.
Jian Xiao frowned, and her face turned red for some reason. Tuo Jinglie's eyebrows were so stern, and he raised his eyebrows, as if there were signs of melting, "Are you jealous? Is it to get back at me?"
Revenge is real, where does jealousy come from? "Which of your eyes saw me being jealous?"
"Last time, you thought I was making a whip for Ba Qin. I didn't give you the same expression as now. You are now the mistress of my general's mansion. What's the use of asking for a token?"
"That's not the point!" Jian Xiao shouted, "I..."
The sound of the night watch sounded outside the door. Although it was still dark at this time, it was already time to get up. Jiaojiao and Yueyue walked in from the back room, "Madam..." Seeing Tuo Jinglie sitting on the bed, the two of them
I was stunned for a moment and hurriedly left
"Come back!" Jian Xiao shouted, "Help me change clothes, it's time for the morning meeting!"
Jiaojiao and Yueyue glanced at Tuo Jinglie. He was sitting on the bed and motioned for them to obey. They followed Jian Xiao out step by step.
"Madam..." Jiaojiao asked boldly, "The general is so kind to you, why are you always lukewarm?"
Yueyue pushed Jiaojiao. Although the two of them stayed with Jian Xiao for a long time, they still felt it was inappropriate to ask such a presumptuous question.
Jian Xiao saw everything in her eyes, "It's okay! He treats me well? Humph, no one treats me better than he treats me!" Jian Xiao washed her face and asked Jiaojiao to comb her hair.
The three people walked into the hall and found that there were people kneeling in the dark hall. Jian Xiao was stunned for a moment, "It's so early today! Boken, get up quickly, what's going on?"
Boken stood up, walked to Jian Xiao, and whispered, "The general couldn't find you when he came back, so he was furious! Miss Shi Cuiyu went back to the house to rest, and no one else dared to leave."
Jian Xiao frowned. Tuo Jinglie was such a lunatic that he was tormenting others so late at night that they wouldn't let them sleep. "Today's morning meeting is over. Let's just go back to the house and meet before lunch."
"How can this work?" Boken was embarrassed.
"Didn't the general say that before he left? I have the final say on all matters here. Everyone should go back and have a good sleep!" Jian Xiao said
"But..." Hasn't the general come back? Can we still believe what this lady says?
