Chapter 112: Gossip

Pei Qian’s words were filled with mockery and smugness. He ignored Lu Ze’s dark expression as he spoke in a breezy tone.

“Huh? Don’t doubt me. From what I know, many people in your refugee camp have designs on her!

There are even many people who hope that one day, you will encounter a ferocious beast or an accident and never come back. Then, they will be able to take advantage of the situation and take over your position. Your wife will belong to someone else.”

“Mr. Pei… are you among these people?” After Lu Ze listened to Pei Qian mutter for a long time, he finally looked up slowly. His words made Pei Qian stop talking.

“Of course… not.” Pei Qian paused and seemed to have thought of something. Although he still had a teasing smile on his face, there was already anger in his eyes.

Lu Ze thought that Pei Qian would flare up, but for some reason, the anger in his eyes only flashed past before he regained calmness.

“The reason I reminded you is because I admire Madam Liu’s capability! If you there are other factors involved, that would be underhanded!”

Pei Qian stood up and turned to look at Lu Ze as he said very seriously, “Don’t do anything to Gao Xuwei for now. Even if you want to, now isn’t the time!

If you want revenge on him, I won’t stop you!’

But you can’t ruin my plans!”

With that, Pei Qian didn’t say anything else. He tightened his cloak and left without looking back.

Lu Ze didn’t respond, nor did he stand up to send her off. However, compared to before, his hostility had dissipated substantially. He sat there quietly for a while before standing up and getting a clay pot to cook porridge.

Lin Suisui slept for about three to four hours. When she woke up again, it was already dusk.

“Liu Niang, you woke up at the right time. Your husband made porridge. Hurry up and drink it.” When Mrs. Luo saw Lin Suisui roll up the curtains of the ox cart, she smiled and greeted her.

It was obvious that Lin Suisui had been exhausted these past two days. Mrs. Luo’s heart ached for her.

“I heard that the general threw a tantrum over there today. What happened?!”

Mr. Fang and the others were talking. When they saw Lin Suisui come over, they stood up politely and greeted her before sitting down to talk to Lu Ze and the others.

“Why are you asking so much about this noble?!” Sr. Fang was loading a bag of dry cigarettes. When he heard the Fang family’s eldest son’s words, he couldn’t help but frown and lecture, “It’s not a good thing to know too much!”

“Father, you can’t say that. Now that we’re in the refugee camp, we have to be in the know if we want to live! For example, between the two nobles, who’s older and who’s younger? Who has more say?!

If the situation isn’t right, we have to have a countermeasure. We can’t be so stupid as to risk our lives, right?!”

The Fang family’s second son had always been restless and contemplative.

His ability to seek benefits and avoid harm naturally surpassed that of most people in the entire refugee camp!

“It’s said that the concubine he brought over has already given birth to a daughter. This afternoon, a nanny came to the refugee camp to ask if anyone was willing to be a wet nurse for that young lady!

She said that the woman’s body was too weak after giving birth and there was no milk.

How strange. Why did the general bring her over to suffer when she’s pregnant?!”

Fang Liu knew a lot about this, so she replied.

Lin Suisui held the porridge and drank it without interrupting as she listened to them talk about what had happened in the refugee camp today. Although she was already mentally prepared, one piece of news shocked Lin Suisui.

She knew that Gao Xuwei was very shameless and heartless! However, she didn’t expect this man to be shameless to this extent!

The woman was still struggling between life and death, yet he actually had the mood to ogle other women in the refugee camp!

“Mrs. He looks like she’s about to go crazy from joy. She was so cocky the entire afternoon. Tsk, it’s as if that general really wants to marry Miss Zhu!”

Fang Liu curled her lips in disdain.

“It’s impossible.” Lin Suisui sighed and said in a low voice, “General Gao has a wife.”

“Actually, we all know about this! When that woman came to look for a wet nurse previously, we knew about it! Everyone else rejected it, but the Zhu family’s mother and daughter rushed forward eagerly!”

Fang Liu also sighed. At this point, anger appeared in her eyes as she said indignantly, “In the afternoon, my mother even dissuaded Mrs. He, but she said that I was just jealous!

She even said that my mother wanted to ruin her daughter’s future and pave the way for Rui’er!

She made my mother so angry!”

“I don’t want to be someone’s mistress!” Fang Rui’er’s eyes turned red when she heard this and she looked up at Mrs. Luo anxiously. “Mother, I don’t want to!”

“Rui’er, you’re mistaken. How could I let you be someone’s mistress?!” Fang Rui’er’s reaction amused Fang Liu and she quickly helped Mrs. Luo explain, “Mrs. He was mocking your mother! It’s just that she’s so smug now, but it’s inevitable that she’ll fall from grace in the future!”

Because of Fang Rui’er’s presence, Fang Liu didn’t explain things clearly.

However, for Lin Suisui and the others, it wasn’t difficult to guess what she was worried about.

To General Gao, the fourth daughter of the Zhu family was probably just his plaything during this short period of boredom. From a certain perspective, she was even inferior to the eagle that General Gao was raising!

After this period of time passed, not to mention becoming a general’s wife, like Mrs. He had dreamed of, she probably wouldn’t even be able to become a concubine!

After all, not everyone could be the concubine of the general who stabilizes the north!

“Mother, you should stay out of the Zhu family’s business in the future! It’s not like you don’t know Mrs. He’s temper! Even if she helped you when you were in trouble back then, you’ve done enough over the years! You’ve already repaid that favor. There’s really no need to keep sucking up to her!”

When the Fang family’s second son heard his sister-in-law’s story, he couldn’t stand it anymore. At this moment, he seized the opportunity to dissuade Mrs. Luo, who hadn’t spoken yet, “That family is full of ungrateful people! Mother, stop helping them. It’s really not worth it!”
