Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 138 New Year's Red Packet
During the execution, Gu Qingcheng cried like a slaughtered pig, which made Concubine De who had been watching beside her feel very distressed. She hit her son and hurt her mother.

Although there are only ten boards, Gu Qingcheng has been a lofty second princess since she was a child. She has never suffered physical pain, how can she endure such great pain.

After the board fell, she was already crying with snot and tears all over her face, in a panic.

Concubine De let someone help Gu Qingcheng go back, ten boards had beaten her delicate body to pieces, and there were even bloodshot eyes on her white tunic.

Gu Qingcheng, who was lying on the bed unable to move, had a look of hatred on her face, Concubine De used a good plaster to wipe her wound, "It hurts, take it easy."

One after another "hissing" cries came from Gu Qingcheng's mouth, and Concubine De also cried.

"Ah, it hurts, concubine mother, this time, I will never let that little bitch go, absolutely not!" Enduring the tremendous pain, beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, and his delicate and beautiful face felt so tender at this moment. With pain and distortion, he gritted his teeth and said.

Concubine De rubbed her tears, "Qingcheng, don't worry, Concubine Mu will also help you remember this enmity."

People who don't know may think that the emperor did this because of Gu Qingcheng's abuse of the court ladies, and they may think that the emperor is so impartial, but in fact, only they know that if it is only for the matter of those two court ladies, the punishment will not be too much. As for that, it's just that you can't go out.

In the end, it was nothing else that made Gu Qingcheng suffer, but because he said something bad to the little princess. If it wasn't for her, how could Qingcheng have come to this point, and it hurt like this!
At this moment, Concubine De and Gu Qingcheng truly held Gu Qingxin's hatred to the bottom of their hearts.

At the same time, in Qingxin Palace, the maids were laughing heartily in the room.

"You didn't hear it, I heard it all. The second princess's voice like killing a pig almost spread throughout the entire palace. The voice of crying father and mother is really enjoyable to listen to. Your Majesty the Emperor mighty!"

Hongdou usually socializes a lot, and passed away as soon as he heard the wind, and almost clearly heard Gu Qingcheng's screams when he was beaten, which can only be called a cool word in his heart.

He described it emphatically, and danced and danced, imitating Gu Qingcheng's shrill voice and shouting "Ah, it hurts". That appearance is really funny.

The laughter in the house contrasted with the cold outside.

"Master, haven't you been amused?" Hong Dou finally found out that her master had better concentration and didn't even laugh, which made her a little frustrated.

"This kind of thing, don't talk nonsense outside in the future, or you will cause trouble." Gu Qingxin calmly got up and went to the dormitory.

Hongdou sticks out her tongue and head, and laughs, "Master, don't you feel very happy? Every time I see the second princess's arrogant appearance, it seems that the whole world owes her. Anyway, I feel very upset when I look at it. Acacia Sister, don’t you think so, this is what the second princess deserves, she doesn’t take people’s lives as her own, our majesty is wise and always wants to show her some color.”

"This, I don't know, don't ask me, I'm going to serve the master to clean up."

"I'm going to see if the master's meal is ready?" Mu Fang also walked away briskly.

"Oh," Hongdou looked at the sky speechlessly, and said to himself, "Is it just me who thinks so? Shouldn't I be happy to see the wicked get retribution?"

Indeed, she should be happy, but for Gu Qingxin, this little pain is far from enough.

It's just the top ten boards, at most she can't jump around for a few days, and she won't stand up even harder in the end. The flesh and blood injuries are not important at all.

Nothing to be happy about!
Gu Qingxin was tired from reading, and just looking out the window, she seemed to see a familiar figure.

"Master, General Xu is asking to see you."

Then came the voice of lovesickness.

Gu Qingxin left the boudoir with doubts, Xu Mu was already waiting.

"The general is here so late today, is there something to do?"

Xu Mu's hands seemed to be hanging down calmly by his side. He was holding something in his right hand, and his fingers were clenched a little.

"me--"

"I" for a long time, but I didn't say a complete sentence, as if it was stuck in my throat and I couldn't say it.

Xu Mu was also anxious, and raised his head to look at Her Highness the Princess anxiously, and saw Her Highness looking at him gently, with a gentle and peaceful expression, as if encouraging and pampering.

He must be dazzled.

Thinking with some self-mockery, I immediately heard Gu Qingxin's words, "If the general has something to do, you might as well sit down and talk, don't you feel tired standing up?"

"It's okay, I'm used to standing!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Mu shook his head and waved his hands, indicating that he didn't need to sit down.

This tense and clumsy performance made the corners of Gu Qingxin's mouth curl up involuntarily.

Just a question, why are you so nervous?

"Okay then, General Xu, let's just stand up and talk." Gu Qingxin put on a sullen face. In fact, she wanted to laugh a little, but she felt that this was a bit frivolous and not dignified enough, and she was afraid that it would be too stupid. Thinking about it, I had no choice but to hold back.

"I'm here to return His Highness's silver ticket!"

After finally speaking a sentence in one sentence, Xu Mu belatedly handed over the crumpled bank note he was holding in his hand.

The bank note that was originally flat had many creases, and the corners seemed to be wrinkled and a little wet, and the dark water stains were very obvious on it.

It must have been wet with sweat from the palm of your hand.

Gu Qingxin glanced at the palm of Xu Mu's hand, she understood, she had already made up her mind, what Xu Mu wanted to do, and what she meant, she could guess a little or two.That was the bank note in the red envelope given to Xu Mu on New Year's Eve.

Slightly raised his head, looked directly at Xu Mu, his face showed confusion and incomprehension, "General, what do you mean?"

"I am very grateful for Her Royal Highness's kindness, but the amount is too huge. General Shu does not dare to accept it, so I ask Her Royal Highness to take it back."

Just know it is!

She didn't give much, just a silver note in the amount of 500 taels. Although it was the most in the red envelope on New Year's Eve, in her opinion, it was really nothing worth mentioning. How about it, in Xu Mu's words , How can it be "too large"?

Gu Qingxin was upset, she squinted her eyes, her voice was already a bit cold, "What does the general mean, you don't want to accept things from this princess?"

"No, no, no," said three no words in a panic, and Xu Mu's anxious forehead was sweating, "I, I definitely didn't mean that, it's just, just..."

"It's just what, you've already said that, but you think it's too little, and you still think the bank note given by the princess is not good, and you don't want it at all?" Gu Qingxin seemed to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, but she didn't let go, she was confident , obviously really thinks that's what he thinks.

"Your Highness, I, I really don't think so, I've never thought so," Xu Mu was extremely anxious, he was a little stuttering, he was at a loss, and he didn't know how to explain it, come on Going and going, there are only people who don't think so, repeating a sentence.

God knows, he never thought so. He was reluctant to open the red envelope when he got it. After opening it, he found that it was actually a silver note of 500 taels, which is indeed a huge amount for him now.

When I followed Uncle Tie in the past, life was still very difficult. The two of them had all their strength and martial arts, and they didn't have any special martial arts.I can only rely on labor, helpers, bodyguards and other jobs to make ends meet. In addition, I have been wandering around the world for so many years, and there is no stable place to live, so the hard work every year is just in exchange for food and clothing.

For an ordinary family, if they can have ten taels of silver a year, they can guarantee that one person will not have to worry about food and clothing. If they have more than 20 taels, their life is already quite good. In a poor mountain village, it should be counted. "Rich" again.

In those years, he still remembered that they all lived on a little bit of food, living on a daily basis, and the most wages they got were only one tael of silver ingots.It was only after he joined the army that he got better. After taking up his current position, his annual salary was only 200 taels.

Now, every time the princess makes a red envelope, it is 500 taels, which is worth more than two years' salary in his current position. How can he not be...favoured...shocked?

"Pfft", Gu Qingxin finally couldn't help laughing, seeing that Xu Mu was sweating anxiously, she couldn't bear to tease him any longer.

"Don't worry, General Xu, the princess was just joking with you just now."

Seeing that Gu Qingxin smiled, and said so, the gentle expression on his face was not fake, Xu Mu's heart fell from the sky.

She's not angry, that's good, that's good!

I'm glad again that I didn't make Her Royal Highness angry.

Xu Mu felt relieved, but he didn't relax completely, and handed over the banknote in his hand again, "This amount is too much, and you won't be rewarded for nothing. The general thinks that he hasn't done anything worthy of being rewarded by His Highness." So many taels of silver. Please take it back, Your Highness."

"Since the princess gave it to you, there is absolutely no reason to take it back. It doesn't matter where you use it. In short, I will not take it back."

"Here," Xu Mu fell silent. Her Royal Highness' eyes were firm and calm. He didn't speak in a silent manner, and slowly put the banknote in his hand into his lapel. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Gu Qingxin nodded and was speechless for a while.

The room was terribly quiet. Gu Qingxin lowered her head, and the sight projected on her body still existed. Compared to before, she was much more careful, and it wasn't so hot. However, it was still easy to watch, especially when there were no other things around. when.
