The lucky little wife dressed as a general

Chapter 20 Explained
"General, madam, His Royal Highness is still waiting."

After the general and the lady entered the house, there was no movement at all.

Xiao Tao saw that there was no response from the room after calling twice, so she just opened the door and walked in.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw the general holding his young lady's chin. The distance between the two was extremely close, as if they were about to kiss in the next second.

In this clear day, Xiao Tao never expected that General Mu, who looked serious and rigid, could actually...

She quickly lowered her head and explained: "His Royal Highness happened to be here today and would like to invite the general to the front hall for a chat."

Mu Sichen let go of Shen Xi and looked at Xiao Tao with an unhappy expression, "Who asked you to come in?"

Xiaotao knew that she had disturbed the general's good deeds, so she knelt on the ground with a plop.

She silently reflected in her heart that she must have been so spoiled by the young lady that she had completely forgotten all the rules and regulations.

"General, it's my slave's fault. Please punish me, General."

Shen Xi didn't realize that Xiao Tao was so wronged, so he quickly grabbed Mu Sichen.

"It's me... I told her before that if you have something to do, you can just go into the house. I know you don't like to be disturbed. I will explain to Xiaotao later."

The further he went on, the weaker Shen Xi's voice became. Mu Sichen had been away for the past two days, perhaps because he was living too freely.

She didn't remember what Liu Feng said before at all.

Mu Sichen took a deep look at her and said calmly, "You guys have a pretty good relationship."

Then he turned around and left.

Seeing Mu Sichen leaving, Shen Xi quickly pulled Xiao Tao up.

"never mind."

Xiao Tao stood up, thinking about the look in General Mu's eyes just now, and she was still frightened.

After walking out of the door, he met Liu Feng head-on.

Liu Feng saw that she looked bad and touched her nose, "Why, did the general scare you?"

Xiao Tao nodded, then glared at Liu Feng, "Why didn't you stop me just now?"

Liu Feng resentfully said: "I didn't know you dared to enter the house directly."

Xiao Tao glanced at Liu Feng speechlessly, then looked at the young lady and the general who were walking side by side in front of them, and quickly chased after them.

When several people arrived in the front hall, Shen You was having a heated chat with Prince Zhou Chun.

As soon as Mu Sichen appeared, the facial expressions of everyone present became a little unnatural.

Shen Xi's hand holding Mu Sichen was sweating a little, and she didn't know whether His Highness the Crown Prince really didn't know that today was the day for her to return home, or whether he chose this day on purpose.

The two saluted respectfully.

Zhou Chun looked at Shen Xi, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes. I wonder if it was his misunderstanding, but he always felt that Shen Xi had become a little different.

Shen Xi always looked sick and skinny before, and seemed to be unable to cheer up anything he looked at.

Looking at it today, Shen Xi seemed to have gained weight, his cheeks were bulging, his face was flushed, and his eyes were looking at him intelligently.

With this in mind, Zhou Chun asked directly, "Xi'er looks much better."

Shen Xi was so frightened by his title that her heart beat faster. She had never met the Crown Prince a few times, so why did she speak so ambiguously?

Shen Xi used his peripheral vision to observe Mu Sichen's expression beside him.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, he heard Mu Sichen say calmly: "I heard that the floods in Liangzhou have been very serious recently. Your Highness, isn't he busy?"

Zhou Chun's eyes almost reached the length of Shen Xi's body. When he heard Mu Sichen's words, his face immediately turned dark.

This Mu Sichen really doesn't care about anything. Not only is he busy, he is simply miserable.

This water-damaged thing passed through his hands at first. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just flooded, and it was such a big fuss.

But he didn't expect that it would become more and more serious. Thinking of this, Zhou Chun felt that his head was getting bigger.

Shen Xi, who was on the other side, felt secretly happy when she saw Zhou Chun choked up by Mu Sichen's words.

Even though Mu Sichen was usually silent, when he spoke, he knew where to stab the knife where it would hurt the most.

But before he was happy for two seconds, Mu Sichen suddenly turned his head.

He turned sideways and looked at Shen Xi, the corner of his mouth curled up, still with the same casual attitude, as if he was asking casually.

"I didn't know that Madam and His Highness are old acquaintances?"

Shen Xi tried his best to stay calm, and put on a smile that was uglier than crying. He first glanced at Mu Sichen who asked the question, and then glanced at Zhou Chun who was not far away.

"How could it be? I have been in the boudoir for a long time. I have only met His Highness the Crown Prince twice before, both at palace banquets. I don't think His Highness the Crown Prince still remembers it. I am really flattered."

After finishing speaking, Shen Xi saw that Mu Sichen's face looked fine, so her answer of showing loyalty should be okay.

Zhou Chun glanced at Shen Xi and wondered when did this woman become so sharp-tongued? Why didn't she realize that Shen Xi was a beauty before?

If he had known that she would turn out to be such a smart person, he should have accepted her long ago, but now it was an advantage for Mu Sichen.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun looked at Mu Sichen even more unpleasantly.

He seemed to be kind-hearted and said: "I heard that General Mu will be leaving in two days? Be sure to pay attention to safety on the way."

Mu Sichen said calmly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking the trouble."

……

On the carriage ride back, although Mu Sichen didn't do anything special, Shen Xi could clearly feel that the air pressure around him had dropped.

She looked at Mu Sichen secretly, and then quietly approached him.

Shen Xi felt guilty and nervous, and wanted to hold Mu Sichen's hand.

However, just when they were about to touch him, Mu Sichen's hand hanging by his side suddenly retracted.

Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat and she looked up, meeting Mu Sichen's eyes.

This time it was Mu Sichen who spoke first. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a steady voice: "Is something wrong?"

Shen Xi bravely looked at him, first shook his head, and then nodded.

Seeing Mu Sichen's expression gradually becoming impatient, Shen Xi simply said straight to the point.

"Husband, don't listen to His Highness the Crown Prince. I'm not familiar with him at all."

Mu Sichen looked at her intently for two seconds, then closed his palms on his knees into fists.

After looking away, he said lightly: "Really, let's listen to it."

Shen Xi:......

"Husband, what do you want to hear?"

When Mu Sichen turned his head again, Shen Xi's face almost hit his face.

Both of them were stunned. Shen Xi wanted to speak in his ear, but she didn't expect that Mu Sichen would turn his head.

"Husband?"

The red lips opened and closed, Mu Sichen's eyes flashed with astonishment for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

He tilted his body without any trace, and his voice was still light, "You still don't want to say anything."

Shen Xi pinched the handkerchief nervously.

"It's just that... everything I said before is true. I have really only met His Highness the Crown Prince a few times, and they were only at palace banquets, never in private, and the original rumors are all false. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Sichen asked, "What rumors?"

Shen Xi was silent. She seriously suspected that Mu Sichen had dug a hole for her to jump into.

While he was hesitating, the carriage suddenly stopped.

I heard Liu Feng's voice coming from outside, "General, this is Lu Shangshu."
