Princess Anyang had come to the general's estate as a guest again. Everyone in the Xiao family was worried, afraid that they would offend the princess.

The Canton Princess went to the General's Estate every few days. There were always countless reasons for her going there. She would either ask the madame for embroidery or visit someone in the estate.

In fact, the intention was not to drink. The fact that An Yang adored General Xiao was known throughout the capital.

With the exception of General Xiao, who did not understand the relationship between the two of them, he was well aware of everything else. However, he did not dare to say it out loud.

At this moment, Xiao Qian was in his study, trying to figure out the military strategy. He heard from the attendant outside that the princess had come to the mansion as a guest. He couldn't help but have a headache.

”General, the princess is one of the most beautiful women in the capital. How many people would be willing to go through all this? How did it end up becoming a headache for you?”

Xiao Qian cast him a sidelong glance and snappily replied, ”If you like it, then go ahead and enjoy it.”

”Look at what you're saying. What status does this princess have? How could this little one dare to wishful thinking? This is a matter that will cause my head to fall off.”

Xiao Qian sighed, closed the book, and said faintly, ”Who do you want to visit today?”

Greenwood covered his mouth and laughed. ”They say that the chef from the Prince's Residence made a new pastry and offered it to the madame for her to taste.”

As expected, the pastries would be delivered by the princess herself soon, saying that she would give them to Big Brother Xiao to taste.

Xiao Qian felt helpless. What kind of pastries hadn't he eaten before? Besides, the best pastry he ever had was made by that woman. It melted in his mouth, but it was sweet and not greasy. It was even better than what the palace's chef had done.

”Qing Mu, you can leave from the back door and find Tan Zhao, and have him make a trip to the general's manor. No, the best thing would be for the servant to come over and say that he has something to discuss with me. ”

”Alright.”

How could Greenwood not know that Xiao Qian's true intention was to avoid Princess Anyang? Although the Xiao family was a staunch military general, their ancestors had been born with wild grass.

Because the protector of the Xiao family had done a great service, the ignorant Xiao Mian was promoted to the vice minister of the military. It wasn't until the birth of the Xiao family's grandchild, Xiao Gan, that the hopeless military family saw hope.

Xiao Qian had the courage to fight, and was able to stand firm and stand firm in the imperial court because of this.

The mother and the head of the Xiao family had always hoped that An Yang would marry into their royal family. When others talked about the Xiao family, it would naturally be different. However, Xiao Qian repeatedly hinted that he couldn't understand her, so he decided to stay at the border for three to five years and didn't get married until the time of their marriage.

Not long after Qing Mu left, the front courtyard sent someone to look for Xiao Qian, saying that the Countess had invited him to accompany her on her tour of the garden.

Xiao Qian could only admit that he had sweated all over while practicing martial arts. He needed to change his clothes in order to stall for time.

At this moment, Su Zhi, who was helpless, had sneakily found the back door of the Xiao family and took out all of her valuables. After thinking about who would come out next, she would definitely kneel down and beg him to notify her.

For the sake of her child, Su Zhi couldn't care less.

The wooden door was pushed open with a creak. Su Zhi's heart was beating wildly. She grasped the silver coins in her hands and was about to move forward.

He saw a familiar face appear before him.

That little brother had been guarding the tent on Xiao Qian's behalf many times, so she didn't know if she could speak up.

”This little brother!”

Suddenly, a shout startled Qing Mu. He looked at her carefully and said in surprise, ”Isn't that Young Lady Su? Why are you here? ”

Su Zhi's eyes were red as she begged, ”Little brother, I beg of you, please let me see the general. I have urgent matters to discuss with him!”

”My wife, don't worry. What happened?”

”It's too late to explain. Please let me meet with the general.”

Su Zhi stuffed all the valuable things in her hands into the green wood, her mood already on the verge of collapse.

The Greenwood Tree was naturally unwilling to accept money, but it turned around and went to the back door to look for Xiao Qian.

”General, someone wishes to meet you. Please go and take a look!”

Xiao Qian was about to be coerced into the front courtyard by the madame, but seeing that Qing Mu had returned, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
