Chapter 336: Getting Along in the Tent (1) (1/2)

Chu Lian had been standing behind the tent flap expressionlessly. The corners of her lips curled up when she heard He Changdi’s words, and she finally lifted up the tent flap to peer outside.

The moment the flap was lifted, she met directly with the black pools of He Changdi’s eyes, causing her to cough awkwardly.

Although her lunatic husband was usually rather disagreeable, it seemed like he was able to see through deceptions when needed. He hadn’t failed her expectations at all.

Chu Lian didn’t realise that her eyes were bright and sparkly right now. If she looked at anyone right now with that seemingly shining expression, anyone would be able to tell that she was in an extremely good mood at the moment.

Like a miniature sun, Chu Lian’s smile seemed to cast bright rays on He Sanlang, driving away all the gloomy clouds that had just gathered in his heart.

She seemed to be exuding a natural charisma, attracting his gaze to her without him even realising.

When Chu Lian looked down and noticed that a soldier was about to follow He Changdi’s orders and throw away the clothes that Xiaoyan and the other female soldiers had been washing, she frowned and spoke up. “Don’t throw those away. Let them dry and give them to any soldiers who need more clothes for winter.”

The soldier hadn’t expected Chu Lian to give him such an order. Although he had thought that it was a pity to throw away these perfectly good clothes, these were the captain’s own clothes, so they didn’t have any right to do anything else to them. The soldier turned to his superior officer with a questioning look.

He Changdi’s brows drew together as his lips formed a thin line. “Do as Honoured Lady says.”

When the soldier heard that, he took away the basin of clothes with a happy smile.

Xiaoyan and the others were standing in a hidden corner some distance away, watching the scene in front of He Changdi’s tent. When Xiaoyan saw that the soldier was taking away the wet clothes and giving them away to other soldiers who needed them, her face contorted into an ugly expression.

She wasn’t stupid. She knew that He Sanlang had done that out of disdain for them.

They were Sima Hui’s subordinates. By doing so, wasn’t he showing his contempt for Sima Hui as well?
