The young man's voice was green and dripping, like the pleasant sound of a flute coming from the empty valley. His sexy Adam's apple moved as he said," Miss Xiao showed off her skills in the palace today and saved Miss Tuoba's life. Your reputation is so great, I'm afraid I have no choice but to get to know you. Besides, Miss Xiao, you're so beautiful that you can topple cities. I'm sure you won't forget anything once you see it.”
The youth's words were obviously a joke, but Xiao Ling took it seriously. Wasn't it said that this young general was as cold as ice and didn't get close to women? Why was he so dishonest when he spoke? Xiao Ling muttered in his heart, but it was as sweet as drinking honey. No matter what, being remembered by the young general was a good start.
"Alright, alright. Since we know each other, I don't need to introduce you.”The young general didn't say anything. He nodded and sat beside Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling lowered her eyes. From the corner of her eye, she saw the young man's fair fingers on his knees. They moved gently, and her heart rippled.
The young man did not continue to talk to her. She took the chopsticks handed to her by the servant, picked up some food, and slowly chewed it. She was in the General's residence, and in front of her beloved, she paid extra attention to her image. As they ate, Madam Tuoba asked about Xiao Ling's family matters.
"Miss Xiao, how many sisters do you have at home?”Xiao Ling raised his head and slowly said," Replying to Madam, there are nine sisters in the family. I am the third.”The way Xiao Ling spoke was like a young lady from a noble family, not the slightest bit like the daughter of a concubine from an ordinary official's family.
"Oh? That Miss Xiao must be a Di woman. When will you invite Miss Xiao's mother to the residence? Seeing Miss Xiao's beauty like a flower and her knowledge, I know that Miss Xiao's mother must be as beautiful as a fairy. I am very interested.”Madam Tuoba giggled and did not seem to notice anything wrong with his words.
Tuoba Feng looked at Xiao Ling worriedly, afraid that his mother's words would make Xiao Ling's imagination run wild. Xiao Ling was quite sensible, and her expression remained unchanged. She did not feel any shame for being the daughter of a concubine," Xiao Ling was not talented and was born of a concubine. My mother passed away not long after giving birth to me.”
Only then did Madam Tuoba realize that she had spoken badly. She did not have any prejudice against her family background, but it was not that she disliked Xiaoling's status. Xiaoling was indeed a child who made one's heart ache.”Madam Tuoba let out a long " oh " and continued to ask," Miss Xiao has suffered a lot.”
Xiao Ling pursed her lips and smiled. Her smile was filled with bitterness, as if she was laughing at herself. "Father is away all year round and doesn't really take care of Xiaoling. Xiaoling has always been taken care of by Eldest Furen. There are nine younger sisters in the family, so it's reasonable that Eldest Furen occasionally doesn't take care of Xiaoling.”
Xiao Ling's words made the hearts of the few people present ache. They all knew how difficult it was to be the daughter of a concubine from a wealthy family. Moreover, Xiao Ling's mother had passed away early. Without her father, her life was naturally much harsher. She must have suffered a lot since she was young.
Xiao Ling's words stirred up Madam Tuoba's maternal instincts. She looked at Xiao Ling quietly and felt that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She was obedient and sensible and was also the savior of the entire Tuoba Manor. Up until now, she still could not think of any way to repay her kindness. She might as well take Xiao Ling in as her adopted daughter and greatly raise Xiao Ling's status, allowing her to stand out and have a bright future. It could be considered a small token of her appreciation.
"I understand what Miss Xiao said. I only have one daughter, Feng 'er. Today, I saw that Miss Xiao hit it off very well and really hit it off at first sight. Miss and our Feng' er are also like sisters. If Miss doesn't mind, I want to take Miss as my adopted daughter and also fulfill my wish to have many children.”
Madam Tuoba giggled as she spoke. Xiao Ling was greatly shocked. She looked at Madam Tuoba in shock, unable to believe what Madam Tuoba said. What did she do to actually be able to get Madam Tuoba to be her adoptive mother? At this moment, General Tuoba also spoke up," Madam, this is a great move. This way, Miss Xiao and our Feng 'er will be officially sisters. In the future, if the two of them miss each other, they can move around freely.”
After saying that, the two of them laughed and agreed with this plan. Xiao Ling was still stunned as she looked at their bright smiles, not knowing what to say. The happiest one was Tuoba Feng. She immediately jumped up from her seat and held Xiao Ling's hand intimately.
"Ling 'er, did you hear that? You're the adopted daughter of the dignified General Tuoba. From now on, we're officially sisters.”Tuoba Feng giggled beside her ear. The cheerful laughter stimulated Xiao Ling's brain, causing her to become much more clear-headed. The heavens were truly blessed, giving her a chance to be reborn and also giving her such a noble background. Wasn't it much easier to take revenge?
" But, my father doesn't know about it yet. This…" General Tuoba then remembered that Lord Xiao still didn't know about it. How could he so casually take someone else's daughter as his adopted daughter? His smile froze on his face as he said awkwardly," I was rude, I was rude."”Lady Tuoba glared at General Tuoba, thinking that she wanted General Tuoba to think of a way to take Xiao Ling as his adopted daughter.
At this moment, the young general, who had been silent, relaxed his tightly furrowed brows and spoke. His frown made one's heart ache. If it was in broad daylight, who knew how many girls 'glass hearts would be shattered. "Since General and Furen are so hospitable, Miss Xiao and Miss Tuoba are also extremely willing. Why don't the two of you take some time to personally make a trip to Xiao Manor.”
After the youth finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Ling and met Xiao Ling's affectionate gaze. Xiao Ling hurriedly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to look at her bowl and chopsticks. She was indescribably nervous and half of her face was flushed red. The youth sized up her shy appearance with interest.
"Furen, this is very good, very good.”General Tuoba slammed the table in agitation while Madam Tuoba nodded and praised him. Just like that, they had come to an agreement. Xiao Ling knew that the Tuoba Family owed him a favor because he had saved Tuoba Feng. This way, they would feel more at ease.
The corner of Xiao Ling's mouth curled up slightly. His smile was soul-stirring. The youth was a little drunk from watching. General Tuoba called him several times, but he did not answer. General Tuoba nudged the young man. The young man was in a daze for a moment. The wine cup in his hand shook slightly, and the wine inside spilled on the table.
He apologized in a panic and asked what General Tuoba had just said to him. "Young General, quickly eat. The dishes are almost cold. If they are cold, they won't taste good.”The young man nodded. Tuoba Feng looked at him and burst out laughing. He teased," It must be because of your beauty that you've captivated the general."”
She giggled and Xiao Ling's face turned even redder. She said in a delicate voice," Sister, don't make fun of me.”Tuoba Feng looked at Xiao Ling and smiled even more happily. The young man didn't retort and remained silent. Lady Tuoba shot him a look, and Tuoba Feng sat down calmly.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Tuoba Feng was lying on the bed with her fair arms under her head, gently resting her head on the pillow. Her ink-like long hair flowed on the bed like ink. The young girl smiled like a flower, her clear eyes staring at Xiao Ling, but Xiao Ling became shy.
"Sister Tuoba, why are you looking at me like that?”Tuoba Feng shook his head and gently lifted Xiao Ling's chin with his fingers. Xiao Ling's heart tightened when she saw Tuoba Feng's lustful gaze. Tuoba Feng's greedy gaze seemed to have ripped off her clothes. He looked at her snow-white skin and was very satisfied.
"Tsk tsk, Ling-er is indeed a national beauty.”Tuoba Feng sniffed the scent in the air." Ling-er, you smell so good."”Xiao Ling was taken aback when he heard that. How could the daughter of the Tuoba Family speak so frivolously? Could it be that he was really good at polishing mirrors? Although Xiao Ling was thinking about it, he didn't dare to resist. Tuoba Feng's fingers gently slid down and one hand stuffed into Xiao Ling's pajamas.
Xiao Ling's back was covered in cold sweat. Tuoba Feng's hand moved around her underwear, but he didn't touch her sensitive parts. Xiao Ling was still afraid. Tuoba Feng seemed to have noticed it as well. She gradually approached Xiao Ling, and her breath landed on Xiao Ling's face. Xiao Ling's body trembled, and cold sweat soaked her pajamas.
Tuoba Feng pressed himself against Xiao Ling's body and was about to kiss her cherry lips. However, Xiao Ling remained motionless. Although she was extremely nervous, she did not dare to show any signs of reluctance. She knew that this was the Tuoba Residence and she was on Tuoba Feng's bed after all. Tuoba Feng's breath flowed into Xiao Ling's mouth. Xiao Ling only felt nauseous. She exhaled and Tuoba Feng quickly took his hand out from Xiao Ling's clothes.
"It's not fun. I'm not playing anymore." Tuoba Feng's body leaned forward and laid down beside Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling's nervousness had yet to dissipate. She panted heavily, and her hand that was tightly gripping the bedsheet earlier did not loosen at all. "Ling-er, why didn't you dodge or push me away?”
Tuoba Feng suddenly asked. Xiao Ling was already scared out of her wits. She stuttered and couldn't say anything. When Tuoba Feng opened his mouth, his tone was filled with disappointment. "Ling-er, are you afraid of me?" Tuoba Feng frowned and placed her arm on her forehead. The silk pajamas covered her face, and a cool and comfortable feeling assaulted Tuoba Feng.
Xiao Ling was still silent, her heart was beating violently. Tuoba Feng could clearly see her chest heaving up and down," Why, why are you not afraid of the Emperor, but you are afraid of me? I really don't understand you. We're already such good sisters, but I didn't expect you to not be honest with me.”
Tuoba Feng said angrily. Disappointment was mixed with anger. Xiao Ling had yet to calm down. She closed her eyes and seemed to see herself in her previous life lying weakly on the bed in the Han family courtyard. Beside her was an empty cold seat. Then, in the morning, Tenth Concubine slowly walked towards her with a bowl of poison that her beloved man had personally cooked.
