The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 240: To the Great General’s Residence

Translator: Vesper

Previously, Ning Meng Yao had made a lot of clothes for him, but they were all at the White Mountain Village. Although he did prepare a few clothes from White Mountain Village for himself, there weren’t many here and he was uncomfortable wearing them so he kept wearing those he had prepared instead.

“Yes, seeing you wear the same old clothes all the time, I decided to make a few more clothing for you.” Ning Meng Yao explained with a smile.

Qiao Tian Chang rubbed his nose and went to his room to change. This was a moon-white colored clothing and there were bamboo leaves sewn near the sleeve and collar. Wearing the clothing Ning Meng Yao made, he looked like an outstanding scholar instead of a general who returned from the battlefield.

“How is it?” As he did in the past, Qiao Tian Chang went to find Ning Meng Yao after wearing the clothes that she had made for him.

Ning Meng Yao reached her hand out to flatten the creases of the clothing on his shoulders, “Very good!”

“The clothes you make are as good as always.” Qiao Tian Chang’s eyes were filled with happiness.

Ning Meng Yao patted Qiao Tian Chang’s face, “So, was it on purpose?”

Qiao Tian Chang laughed foolishly, “Of course not, it’s just that I feel awkward wearing something else.”

“Then, I’ll make some more clothes for you to change into and wear.” Ning Meng Yao was blank at first and then, she laughed and shook her head.

She didn’t actually know that there were times he acted capriciously.

“Okay, but you should make some for yourself too.” Qiao Tian Chang pulled her into his embrace and pampered her.

Ning Meng Yao shook her head, “I have Qing Zhu to do mine.”

“But...”

“Alright, how has the situation outside been recently?” Besides following closely on the updates from Yu Feng and the rest recently, Ning Meng Yao didn’t really pay attention to anything else.

“Xiao Zi Xuan was despised by Marquis Ling and the wife of Duke Xiao has been put under house arrest.” Qiao Tian Chang had only heard about this when he came back.

But Qiao Tian Chang was rather surprised by this, Duke Xiao was indeed fast to take action.

Li Lin Er that woman, if he doesn’t watch her closely, she would probably stir up more trouble in the end.

Ning Meng Yao stopped what she was doing and turned to Qiao Tian Chang, “Why?”

“Be it Marquis Ling or Duke Xiao, they understand very clearly that they cannot provoke us right now.” Qiao Tian Chang said with sarcasm showing in his eyes. He did not think much of them and completely looked down on them. Did they think this matter was over? It was simply a fool’s delusion.

Ning Meng Yao thoughts were evidently the same as Qiao Tian Chang’s. After he said all of these, Ning Meng Yao wore an expression of deep disdain on her face.

“I’ll ask brother-in-law to make haste.” The fate of Marquis Ling’s and Xiao’s Residence were already decided.

Qiao Tian Chang only laughed when she said that. He didn’t have any opinions on this matter.

Ning Meng Yao’s decision would undoubtedly deal a blow to both families.

The suppression in the Royal Court has yet to be settled. On the business side, the people from Tong Bao Zhai were like a mad animal, biting anyone they saw.

In the Imperial Study Room, Ling Luo was looking through the updates he received from various places and his facial expression became unsightly.

He was clear all along that if Tong Bao Zhai really made a move, it would undoubtedly be a blow to them. Furthermore, they didn’t have any leeway to retaliate. But at that time, Tong Bao Zhai had yet to give them a chance to breathe, and this time, it was as if Tong Bao Zhai wanted their life, to suppress them to their deaths.

“Young Master, I still cannot find the ones behind it.” Ming Fang glanced at Ling Luo as he lowered his head, his heart filled with worry.

From the time Tong Bao Zhai started suppressing them, they had begun investigating on those four people. But no matter what, they couldn’t find any information on them. It was as if they had disappeared.

“It would be weird if they let us catch them so easily. Continue the investigation.” Ling Luo had expected this outcome and even thought that it was inevitable.

If it was so easy to find these people, then they wouldn’t have spent so much effort to find trouble for them. Weren’t they doing so just to add one more trouble onto their list?

“Then, regarding Young Master’s business...”

“Prepare some lavish gifts. We’ll make a trip to the Great General’s Residence to appease them.” Ling Luo thought for a while and finally decided to make a trip to the very place he didn’t wish to set his foot on.

Ming Fang understood Ling Luo’s intention straight away, “But Young Master, will they be willing to meet us?”

Although there was a possibility, he wouldn’t get his hopes too high.

Ling Luo also had the same worry, “We have to try no matter what.”
