In a remote corner of the Qiao Mansion, there was almost no light. Only the moonlight fell from the sky and shone on the swaying trees. It was flickering between light and darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
I stood sideways behind the railing and peered through the gaps in the trees. Actually, there was no need to hide. It was very dark at night, and those two people didn't notice me at all.
" Let go of me. If my husband sees this…" Mrs. Qiao said weakly.
"What good has Lord Qiao done to you? If you don't return every few days and nights, won't you be like a widow if you stay in the residence alone?”He sounded rather anxious.
I raised my eyebrows. It was actually Cao Cao. Fine, I admit that I wasn't too surprised. After all, there aren't many men who have designs on Mrs. Qiao and dare to barge into the Qiao Manor. I can't think of anyone who would be so bold.
Cao Cao tugged at Madam Qiao's sleeve, and she tried to pull it back, but it didn't budge. She said angrily,""General Cao, my husband has praised you many times for being a good ruler, but you came to my house and molested me. Don't you feel guilty?”
Cao Cao reached out to hug her as he said,""Furen, why must you do this? I feel sorry for Madam. You're such a beautiful woman, yet you're married to such an unromantic person like Lord Qiao.”
"Even if my husband doesn't know how to be flirtatious, at least he knows propriety, righteousness, and shame.”Mrs. Qiao couldn't break free, and her face flushed red.""You…I saw your sanctimonious appearance, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless.”
"You can call me shameless. I only know that if you want something, you have to snatch it yourself. Rites, righteousness, and shame? To put it nicely, it was just a trick used by ignorant people to deceive people.”Cao Cao laughed coldly and said,""Why should Furen believe those things? Sir Qiao is a model of propriety, righteousness, honesty, and shame. Have you ever seen him enjoy a day of glory and wealth?”
Mrs. Qiao gasped." What…what are you trying to do?”
When I heard Cao Cao's words, I felt a chill in my heart. Suddenly, he thought of Cao Cao's words from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms many years ago: "I would rather let the world down than let the world down.”I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead. Although these words should be interpreted by future generations, I really felt that he could do it.
What should he do? I retracted my right foot. If I rush out to save Mrs. Qiao, will I lose my life too? However, Mrs. Qiao has been taking care of me like her own daughter all these years. If she's in danger, how can I just stand by and watch? With Mrs. Qiao's personality, if something really happened, she would probably hang herself tonight...
Suddenly, Cao Cao cried out in pain.
I hurriedly looked up and saw that the two of them had already separated.
Mrs. Qiao wrapped her arms around herself, her voice trembling." General Cao, you…don't force me. If you take another step closer, I'll bang my head against the wall."”
My heart skipped a beat and I leaned over, not daring to blink.
Cao Cao frowned and took another step forward. However, Mrs. Qiao did not retreat. She stared at him. Finally, Cao Cao seemed to be a little scared. He took a deep breath and changed his tone." Mrs. Qiao, why are you doing this…"
"Get out!" Before he could finish, Mrs. Qiao shouted, as if she had forgotten that she might be heard." Get out of the Qiao Manor immediately!"”
When Cao Cao heard her shout, his expression immediately changed. He turned around and looked around before saying," Don't be like this. I'll take my leave first."”She walked toward the back door in a panic.
Mrs. Qiao stood there motionlessly for a long time before she collapsed to the ground and covered her face with her sleeve, sobbing.
I hesitated for a moment and decided to pretend that I didn't see anything. I turned around and left. At this time, if I go out to comfort her, she might really feel ashamed and run to seek death. Moreover, I can't even protect myself now. I still have a very important problem to deal with.
Taking advantage of the darkness, I quickly ran to a hidden spot under the pavilion in the backyard. Before I went out, I left a set of clothes here. I found a blind spot and quickly changed into my clothes. I stuck my head out to take a look. Very good, everything was silent. Mrs. Qiao shouldn't be returning to her room anytime soon. I need to go back and settle Orange Dance and Crimson Song first.
Since there was no one around, I swaggered to the door of the room and pushed it open. As soon as I entered the door, Jiang Ge's scream rang out, almost making me deaf.
"Second Miss! You're finally back! Where did he go? What happened?"
I tried my best to make an awkward expression." Jiang Ge, I'm really sorry. I…I accidentally fell asleep in the courtyard. I didn't expect to wake up at this time. I've made you anxious.”
"You…you actually said you fell asleep!”Jiang Ge shouted loudly, not even adding honorifics.
"Hehe." I smiled and pretended to be remorseful." It was an accident…"
"Do you know how worried Cheng Wu and I were? We've searched everywhere in the Qiao Mansion, but we couldn't find you. We thought something had happened to you! Where did you sleep?"
"It's behind the rockery. It's harder to find there.”
"You…Why did you go there? You scared us to death, do you know that?"
Seeing her ashen face, I felt a little guilty. I was too impulsive today. If I didn't come back safely, Mrs. Qiao and the others would be so sad.
"I'm sorry…"
Jiang Ge stared at me for a long time before finally relenting."Second Miss, you haven't eaten dinner. You must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat. Cheng Wu is still with Madam. Today, Furen is not in the residence either. Otherwise, she would have sent people out to look for you. I'll go call her back."
When I heard that there was something to eat, I suddenly felt hungry. I pulled Jiang Ge to please her and said,"Jiang Ge, you're so nice." I finally realized that I was really lucky. Although I had transmigrated, I still received so much care in an era that didn't belong to me.
Jiang Ge glared at me with lingering anger. She didn't say anything and turned around to leave.
Just like that, this matter was considered over.
When Mrs. Qiao came to see me the next day, her eyes were a little red, but she didn't say anything. Of course, I pretended not to see it. However, I felt a little uneasy. Was Cao Cao someone who would be threatened so easily? I don't believe that he will admit defeat after suffering this loss.
Cheng Wu and Jiang Ge should have believed my words. After all, when I came back at night, the door was already locked. How could they have thought that I could climb over the wall? In the absence of other possibilities, even if they felt suspicious, they could not tell what was suspicious. It was just that Guo Jia was a little difficult to deal with. Although his attitude towards me was still the same as before, I always felt a little guilty. Every time I saw him, I couldn't help but think: I haven't returned that piece of clothing. Did he realize that it was too little? Also, when I entered his room last time, did I mess up anything and let him see through it? --
I'm sorry, everyone. I went back to school yesterday and had a lot of things to do, so I didn't have time to write. I didn't update it now. He would update another chapter at night.
