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

Chapter 122 Savior

After going down the mountain, Xiao Mo did not go directly back the way she came. Instead, she walked for a while and then took a shortcut to the west.

She originally wanted Qi Minxiu to take Ling Su back first, but Qi Minxiu refused and threatened to go with them without asking the reason clearly.

Helplessly, she agreed to let them follow, because now Qi Minxiu was one of her own in her eyes.

On the way, Qi Minxiu and Shen Yun asked Xiao Mo many times where she was going and what she was going to do, but Xiao Mo didn't say.

It was not until many days later when they arrived at the place where Xiao Mo fell off the cliff that the clever Qi Minxiu guessed something.

He was not sure whether what he was thinking was right, so he did not say it out loud and waited to see what Xiao Mo said.

Xiao Mo led the three of them through the rugged mountain road and arrived outside the wooden house.

Feng Zhiqiu was fertilizing the vegetables in the yard when she noticed a group of people walking towards her in the distance. She dropped what she was holding and went back into the house.

Xiao Mo was puzzled and quickly ran up to knock on the door: "Aunt Feng, it's me, Xiao Mo, Aunt Feng, open the door."

Hearing Xiao Mo's voice, Feng Zhiqiu opened the door a crack and looked at the three people behind her: "Why did you bring so many people here?"

She turned around and looked at the three of them, then smiled and explained, "They are my friends. They came here with me. Don't be afraid. They won't hurt you."

Feng Zhiqiu looked at Qi Minxiu and the others with caution, then gently opened the door and said, "Come in."

Qi Minxiu was very confused by her behavior, and subconsciously frowned and stared at her sternly.

She was frightened by Qi Minxiu's cold eyes and stayed away from him no matter what she did. "Everyone, please have some tea."

Seeing Feng Zhiqiu's nervousness, Xiao Mo pulled her over kindly and said, "Stop working and take a break.

Ah Xiu, this is Aunt Feng. She saved me from the cliff and took good care of me for more than half a year.

Aunt Feng, this is my close friend Qi Minxiu, this is Ling Su, and this is Shen Yun, they are all my friends."

Feng Zhiqiu smiled politely at Ling Su and Shen Yun, but looked at Qi Minxiu timidly.

Xiao Mo followed her gaze and her expression changed instantly.

Qi Minxiu was warned by her eyes and immediately put away his frightened expression.

Just from this one interaction, Feng Zhiqiu could see their relationship.

She sat on the other side of Xiao Mo, took her hand and looked around her body with concern.

"Your energy and blood are much better than when you left. How's your health? Do your legs and feet still hurt on rainy days? How are your hands? Can you lift anything heavier than eight kilograms?"

Xiao Mo was glad that he was still thinking about her body, and replied with a smile: "It's much better now."

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Feng Zhiqiu asked, then immediately felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "What I mean is that my small courtyard doesn't have any extra rooms and can't accommodate so many people."

Xiao Mo glanced at Qi Minxiu, pursed her lips and chuckled: "Aunt Feng, I'm not here to play this time."

"So you're just passing by to see me?"

"Not at all."

Feng Zhiqiu looked at her with confusion: "Why is that?"

Xiao Mo sighed softly, took her hand and shook it: "Do you remember what I said?

I said I would take your place as your deceased daughter and take care of you until the end of your life, not for anything else, but because you saved my life."

Feng Zhiqiu's eyes twitched in surprise, then he lowered his head and said with a smile, "I thought you were joking."

"How could I possibly joke about something like this, Aunt Feng? I can't stay with you, but I can bring you to the Imperial City to live with me."

Xiao Mo expressed her true feelings seriously, but she stood up looking a little uneasy.

"I'm very happy that you have this intention, but I can't go back to the Imperial City with you."

"why?"

Feng Zhiqiu hesitated, afraid of being noticed, and said casually, "Because there are people there whom I don't like."

When Xiao Mo and others heard this, they thought she was talking about the person she was dating, but she explained that the person was her enemy.

Qi Minxiu saw Xiao Mo's determination and cleared his throat. "I am the current Seventh Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Chen. If you are afraid that someone will harm you, then follow Amo and live in the palace. I will protect you."

With his words, Feng Zhiqiu felt reassured.

In fact, she had been used to living here alone for so long, but since Xiao Mo intervened, she no longer liked being alone.

She has also been married and has children, so how could she not yearn to live with her children and enjoy laughter and joy all day long?

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Mo persuaded her again: "I am currently holding a sinecure. The emperor has rewarded me with a lot of gold and silver for my previous military achievements. If you come back with me, you will definitely live a better life than you do now."

Feng Zhiqiu was brought back to her memories by her words. Speaking of the imperial city, wasn't she a resident of the imperial city back then?

It was only because of a huge change that happened when she was young that she fled here.

Speaking of which, she hasn't been back for twenty years. She doesn't know if anyone is taking care of the old house, or how her relatives are doing now.

She looked out the window with red eyes. Xiao Mo noticed her emotions, stood up, walked to her side and hugged her.

"Aunt Feng, I've made up my mind. If you come home with me, you'll only be a servant.

I plan to buy you a house in the suburbs, and Shen Yun and I will come and accompany you when we are free. What do you think?"

Feng Zhiqiu nodded absentmindedly, then came to his senses and quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I still can't go back."

"Aunt Feng, you are my benefactor, but I really can't come here often. Just come back with me and I'll put my mind at ease."

Xiao Mo looked up at her helplessly.

Seeing the moisture gleaming in her eyes, Feng Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, sighed, and smiled.

"Actually, I don't need you to repay me for anything. I'm already very satisfied if you can occasionally remember my existence in your daily life."

Shen Yun couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she stood up and walked over to the two of them.

"Aunt Feng, please agree to my daughter's request! How about this? I'll recognize you as my godmother, and I'll live with you in the suburbs from now on."

Feng Zhiqiu was startled by her words and waved his hands repeatedly: "How can this be possible?"

Seeing that she was really hesitant, Qi Minxiu was just about to say something to her when he heard her speak first.

"If you insist, I can go with you, but I don't need you to buy me any house. Just think of it as a trip to the Imperial City. I will be back in half a month."

After hearing what Xiao Mo said, she really missed home.

If it weren't for that incident, she would be living a more comfortable and happy life than now.

She wasn't greedy. Since God had given her this opportunity, she would go back and take a look, just one look...

Seeing that she was relieved, Xiao Mo happily threw herself into her arms and said, "You've already gone back, why are you coming back?"

Aunt Feng, I can guarantee that if you enter the Imperial City and see its prosperity and splendor, you will never want to return."

She grew up there, how could she not know how prosperous the imperial city is?

Feng Zhiqiu touched her hair lovingly: "You are a filial child."

After discussing this matter, they prepared a meal together and immediately set off back to the imperial city.
