When Dong Huiying and her entourage returned from the Zhu family, they had just gotten off the carriage when they saw soone eagerly waiting.
It was none other than the Great Commander of the Hidden Guard. "Tsk, Marshal, did you just co back from the Eighth Princess?"
The person spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Dong Huiying lifted her eyelids slightly, "Madam, tell , you and your people have been freeloading here every day, eating and living for free without even paying for als or lodging, yet you keep causing trouble. You’re really being unfair!"
The Great Commander’s face twitched, "Marshal, you are mistaken. We used to be colleagues, with a bond of camaraderie. It’s just a few days of food and lodging. Surely, the Marshal’s family can’t be so stingy about such trivial amounts?"
Dong Huiying sighed with emotion, "To be honest, Madam, I’ve always felt that you’ve mistaken for soone else. I’m just a common person nad Dong Huiying, not a Marshal. As for the camaraderie you ntioned? I’m sorry, but I have absolutely no recollection of it."
She smiled insincerely, watching as the Great Commander beca increasingly irritated by her few words, secretly snickering in her heart.
Hmph! Always giving a hard ti, see if you dare to do it again!
If you do, I’m not one to be easily bullied. I can be sharp-tongued too! Since you’re a guest here, eating, drinking, and staying, you should at least show so restraint!
Dong Huiying, with her entourage, walked away with a smile, leaving the Great Commander’s face turning a shade of blue before she suddenly broke into a smile. "What an intriguing person."
She sighed and returned to her room.
When the Great Commander returned from outside, she saw Huang Qi kneeling on one knee: "Commander! Marshal Baowei just took so people to the Zhu family, here are the records of his conversation with the old lady of the Zhu family, please take a look!"
Huang Qi presented a notebook, which the Great Commander picked up and opened. In addition to their conversation, it detailed the expressions and reactions of everyone present.
The Great Commander pondered for a while, "Though I find her sowhat elusive, I believe the Marshal would never go to the Zhu family just for this matter."
It’s obvious to anyone that the Zhu family is not just declaring war on the Huizi Store; they are directly confronting it, especially when inciting others to vandalize their store is already too vile.
After closing the notebook, the Great Commander continued to deliberate, "Keep watching, if I’m not mistaken, sothing significant will happen at the Zhu family soon."
"Yes!"
Huang Qi took the commander’s orders and left imdiately. At the sa ti, in another room in the manor, Dong Huiying sat down and took a sip of tea, quenching her thirst before saying to Shujun, "This matter isn’t over today. If we’re going to stage a play, let’s do it thoroughly. Shujun, have our people stay alert. Since the Zhu family dared to make a fuss, we’ll escalate the matter!"
Shujun agreed and imdiately called soone in to give the instructions.
After night fell and Dong Huiying finished washing up, she sat in front of the huanghuali wood dressing table, looking at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
With a creak, soone entered the room.
She turned her head and saw Yixuan, dressed in erald green, slowly walking towards her.
She stood up with a smile, and at the sa ti, Yixuan reached her.
The handso and elegant man opened his arms, pulling her into his embrace.
The room was so quiet that as she buried her face in his chest, she seed to hear the sound of her blood flowing within her, along with his deep, resonant heartbeat...
