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

Chapter 131 Listen to my explanation

Xiao Mo subconsciously glanced at Qi Minxiu and found that his expression had not changed, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you sure this is for me?" She asked again in a tone of disbelief.

Lin couldn't stand her behavior and thought she was showing off, so she took over the conversation with disdain.

"Of course they are for you. These things were sent by Mr. Lu himself, and he said that you must accept them personally.

If he didn't have some urgent matters at home that needed his attention, he would have wanted to wait for you to come back!"

These words made Xiao Mo even more confused. She thought she and he were friends now, but why did he still give her a gift like this? It was so confusing.

Qi Minxiu glanced at the things on the table and looked at Xiao Mo: "Don't you want to open it and take a look?"

Xiao Mo sensed something was wrong with his tone and chuckled, "Don't bother looking. It must be some jewelry or something."

"Again? The same thing as last time?" Qi Minxiu asked immediately after she spoke.

Xiao Mo didn't react for a moment, and answered casually: "Yes."

After she finished speaking, she realized that he was trying to trick her, and quickly changed her words: "No, no, it's, that..."

She was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. She could only call Shen Yun while stammering.

"Yun, quickly send these things back to the Lu Mansion and tell Master Lu that if you do this again, we won't even be friends anymore."

Her attitude and words made Qi Minxiu, who was already emotional, happy.

Originally, the matter ended here.

But when Shen Yun stepped forward to take the gift box, one of her hands was not holding it firmly, and the gift box fell to the ground, and the contents scattered out.

that is not……

Shen Yun was so surprised that she almost shouted out loud, but fortunately she reacted in time.

She walked up and pulled the corner of Xiao Mo's clothes, motioning her to come over and take a look.

Seeing that she was acting mysterious, Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, smiled at Qi Minxiu, and followed Shen Yun.

She looked at her puzzledly, reached out and opened a gift box, and was stunned by what was inside.

As if she didn't believe it, she opened several other gift boxes, and the results were the same.

Isn't this the treasure she and Shen Yun dug out from the ground? Didn't she give all of this to Lu Huai? How could it be...

Did he return it to her?

He is so stupid! He uses such a misleading way.

Xiao Mo raised her head unhappily and put everything in order: "Yun, move all these things back into the house."

Shen Yun nodded in agreement and called two maids from Suqiyuan to help move the things back.

Qi Minxiu had been looking at her with a faint expression until she said this. Then he stood up with a gloomy face and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo quickly chased after him: "Ah Xiu! Wait for me!"

After catching up with Qi Minxiu, Xiao Mo held his arm tightly and pulled him towards Suqiyuan.

"Don't be angry, you misunderstood. Come on, follow me back to the house."

Qi Minxiu took slow steps and stood still, not even looking at her.

"What misunderstanding? I'm not angry. You're a girl, it's normal for you to like those little gadgets. Go back and take a closer look."

The angry words he said made people want to hit him, but Xiao Mo knew that in this situation, she could only coax him.

"I really misunderstood. Come back with me first." Xiao Mo held him tightly and whispered in his ear: "It's not convenient to talk here. Come with me first!"

In the front hall, Xiao Wenbo put his hands behind his back and was very satisfied with the result.

He is the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is normal for him to want to accept these things on behalf of Xiao Mo.

The reason why they went to such great lengths to invite people was because they wanted Qi Minxiu to come along.

Now that his goal has been achieved, let them solve the rest themselves.

Xiao Wenbo curled his lips happily and turned to leave the front hall.

Murong Shu glanced at the two people who were arguing in the yard, sighed, and left.

After Xiao Mo said for the third time that she would go back to her room, Qi Minxiu's expression finally showed some emotion.

He reluctantly let Xiao Mo pull his hand and walk towards Suqiyuan.

Back in the room, Xiao Mo dismissed the other servants, closed the door, took out a jade collar and handed it to Qi Minxiu.

"Can you tell?"

Qi Minxiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the collar, then turned his head over the collar to look at Xiao Mo.

"What do you want me to see? How beautiful this thing is?"

Xiao Mo curled her lips speechlessly, sat down, and took out two or three things and placed them in front of him: "This is a reward from the emperor."

Qi Minxiu was puzzled. "What do you mean? Why are your things with him? And why did he dress them up so carefully and send them to you?"

Xiao Mo looked at him speechlessly. Just as she was about to speak, he turned his face away.

"Do you want to hear my explanation?" Xiao Mo asked him seriously.

Qi Minxiu seemed to have not expected her to ask this. He turned around and stared at her with slightly surprised eyes.

"What do you say?"

Xiao Mo raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Of course I have to ask clearly, otherwise if you don't listen when I open my mouth, I might as well not explain!"

Qi Minxiu was amused by her novel train of thought, but when he realized that he was angry, he quickly put away his smile.

Xiao Mo saw that he didn't say anything and his gaze on her probably meant that he wanted her to explain.

She took the things out of the box and said, "Didn't I look for a house for Aunt Feng a few days ago?

I searched many places but couldn't find what I wanted. Finally, I found a good place in Taohuaxiang, which was nestled in the mountains and beside the water.

At first I didn't know that the house belonged to Lu Huai, but after I saw that the boss was him, I thought about giving up the house.

But I thought about it, there is nothing shameful between him and me, at most we are friends, so I will take it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Huai said that he didn't want any money for the house because I had cured his mother's leg injury without asking for the medical fee.

I'm definitely not the kind of person who's greedy for small gains, so I came back that day and found some gold and silver jewelry to give him.

I've never done business, so I don't know how much his house is worth. I'll take the higher amount.

I didn't expect that he would be so generous and give me back the extra things."

Xiao Mo's explanation was very concise. After listening to it, Qi Minxiu's originally stiff and cold expression gradually relaxed a lot.

But there was one thing he didn't quite understand: "If it was returned to you, then why did he put it in a beautiful gift box? Was he trying to create a misunderstanding with you?"

Xiao Mo didn't quite understand this either.

Fortunately, at this time, Shen Yun, who was helping to arrange the things, saw a note.

It clearly stated why Lu Huai wanted to return the things to her and why he wanted to wrap the things that originally belonged to her as a gift for her.

From the character's perspective, this paper should have been written by Lu Huai.

Xiao Mo read it carefully, then handed it to Qi Minxiu and said, "Here, take a look if you don't believe me."

Qi Minxiu glanced at the paper with a slightly focused gaze and reached out to take it.

Above, Lu Huai said that the house in Taohua Lane was not worth that much money.

After he kept part of the money worth the house, he wanted to send the rest back intact.

But considering that the existence of this fund may not be known to everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He took it upon himself to use this method to keep Xiao Mo's secret.

At the end of the letter, he also expressed his apologies and hoped that doing so would not cause her any trouble.
