The Lady in the General’s Arms is a Bigshot in Mystic Arts

The more Xie Cheng thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt.

He never cared about these things before.

But now, it would be too overwhelming to think of her because of a glance from others.

But Xie Cheng really couldn't laugh.

As long as he thought that Jiang Fu might look at him with fearful eyes, he felt as if he couldn't breathe.

His heart was like being scraped by a blunt knife, torturing people one by one.

The carriage drove past Zhehua Road, and the morning market had just opened at this moment, there were sellers of food, fruits and vegetables, spices, rouge, gouache, and jewelry outside.

Xie Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Stop."

Eleven outside hurriedly pulled the rein, turned around and asked, "Does the general want something to eat?"

They left early in the morning, and they ate something casually before going to court, and now they don't want to go back and go directly to the women's courtyard. It will be noon after picking up Miss Jiang from school, so they need to buy something to rest.

The voice of the person in the carriage was hoarse, and said, "Go and buy a bag of sugar."

Eleven felt that he might be hallucinating, the general never liked sweets, why would he let him buy candy?

Sitting in the car, Xie Cheng became more and more irritable as he thought about it. He felt astringent and bitter in his heart. He happened to hear that there was a candy seller outside, so he asked him to buy it.

He couldn't hear any movement outside for a while, Xie Cheng frowned, and was about to speak when he heard Eleven cautiously asking outside:

"Apart from... sugar, does the general want anything else?"

"don't want."

Only then did Eleven nod his head, "Yes, this subordinate will go right away."

The sugar seller was right next to him, Shi Shi didn't even turn over, and directly gave the person next to him copper coins to buy a large bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candies.

Although it was covered with a layer of oil paper, it still had a faint aroma.

Eleven handed the candy in, and asked again, "General, you really don't want anything else? Miss Jiang finishes school at noon, and you have to wait in the girls' courtyard until noon."

Xie Cheng looked down at the bag of sugar in his palm, shook his head and said, "No need."

He opened it with lowered eyes, and the rich sweet smell permeated the carriage, Xie Cheng couldn't help but frowned.

The taste... seems a bit too sweet.

He stared at the bag of candy for a few seconds, then took a piece and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness melts in the mouth and is a bit mellow.

Xie Cheng frowned, wrapped up the remaining sugar, put it aside, and closed his eyes again.

-

The carriage stopped under the tree at the entrance of the women's courtyard. Xie Cheng leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed until he heard the sound from far to near outside.

He frowned, opened his sleepy black eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is school over?"

Eleven looked at the large pieces of green shirts, nodded heavily, "Yes, this subordinate has already seen Miss Jiang, walking with Princess Anle!"

Xie Cheng raised his hand and raised the curtain of the carriage.

Jiang Fu was wearing a blue shirt, pulled by An Le beside him, and he was showing his porcelain white teeth and smiling at the people beside him.

The breeze ruffled her hair, revealing her white and small ears.

The people around looked at her, as if they were saying something to her, so she raised her hand to brush her hair, and looked towards the carriage at that moment——

The smile on Jiang Fu's face gradually disappeared, and the moment she saw him, there was no smile on her face at all.

Xie Cheng's heart tightened, how could it be like this, wasn't it fine when we ate together yesterday, did someone already tell her what she did?

But didn't she come to the women's courtyard early? How could she know about those...
