Eleven’s eyes widened.

Did the old lady know what she was talking about?

Why did the old lady become like this after they came back from battle? Didn’t she dote on the general the most in the past?

What was she saying now? What did she mean when she said he could not be worthy of Ah Fu since his legs were injured?

What did she mean when she said there are many young talents in Yandu, and she would help Ah Fu find one in good shape?

Eleven felt terrible and began to wonder if he was wrong and the general was right.

Jiang Fu might not be a good person. Otherwise, how could she have bewitched the Old Madam to this extent?

–

The Grand General’s Residence.

Xie Cheng had injured his leg, so he could only lie there quietly and look outside blankly. His fingers hooked around the tassel of his jade pendant, and his expression was indifferent.

At this moment, Mrs. Qi helped Old Madam Xie in.

Her white fingers hooked with a red tassel stopped moving. Her well-defined fingers looked exceptionally fair and slender.

Xie Cheng paused and looked up. He met the old lady’s eyes and suddenly smiled. “Grandmother, you’re here. Have you seen my fiancée?”

The old lady was furious when she heard this. She quickened her pace and held Mrs. Qi’s hand, wanting to find something to hit him with. “Forget it if you don’t want to marry Ah Fu, but stop spouting this nonsense!”

Xie Cheng tilted his body and dodged.

The old lady sat down, panting, and glared at him. “Neither do I want to let Ah Fu marry you!”

Xie Cheng leaned against the wall and raised his eyebrows.

Mrs. Qi glanced at Xie Cheng and bent down slightly to pour a cup of tea for the old lady. She gently placed it beside her hand.

Old Madam Xie looked at her grandson. “Tell me, what’s with that woman?”

Xie Cheng had a white jade pendant in his hand. The bright red tassel circled his fair fingertips as he leaned forward slightly. “I don’t need to marry Jiang Fu?”

Old Madam Xie touched the teacup beside her hand and wanted to hit him with it.

Xie Cheng leaned back and said lazily, “She saved my life at the border, so I brought her back.”

Seeing his attitude, Old Madam Xie immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Since she saved you, we should naturally thank her properly. How do you plan to thank her? Do you want to give her money or…”

Xie Cheng lowered his eyes, his black eyelashes concealing the emotions in his eyes. His voice was calm. “I know how.”

When he brought Liu Niang back, he sent someone to investigate her identity. She was the concubine of a high-ranking official in an enemy country and wanted by that official’s wife.

It was dangerous to keep such a person by his side.

He intended to bring her back to Yandu and give her some money.

However, when he came back and saw that the entire family was so good to Jiang Fu, he had other thoughts. He wanted to use her to make Jiang Fu give up.

Old Madam Xie stared at him for a while before saying, “What do you know? When are you going to send her out? We shouldn’t keep this woman at home.”

It was outrageous to keep a savior at home, and the fact that she was a woman made it worse.

They could not afford others to gossip about it, such as saying that her saving his life was arranged by fate and that they should devote their lives to each other.

Xie Cheng’s hair was held up by a silver crown. He looked up. His face was slightly pale, likely because of his leg injury. His red lips curled as he looked at Old Madam Xie and asked, “I can send Liu Niang away immediately. What about Jiang Fu?”

“When do you plan to send Jiang Fu away?”
