Chapter 212: The Female Lead Bites the Hand that Feeds Her

And so, the military and civilians formed an alliance. Everyone was brainstorming ways to help each other in the city. It was a rather happy and harmonious scene. Bai Xiangxiu felt that she ought to go back. Long Heng would be distracted if she remained here any longer. She tidied up and was planning to take her leave when Long Heng returned from his scouting trip. She was a little reluctant, but felt rather contented that she could see him before he really departed.

Things were always different when being a married couple. A reluctance to part inevitably cropped up when the time came for them to do so. Since she was going to leave, shouldn’t she let him enjoy himself to his heart’s content? But, was it really good for her to do so with her current appearance?

She was dressed in male clothing from head to toe and had even combed her hair into a man’s bun. There wasn’t anything beautiful about her appearance right now. Moreover, the injury on her body hadn’t healed yet. Could she really seduce someone? She touched her face. Even her skin had darkened and turned a little dry since arriving here. This won’t do! At any rate, my skin needs to be a little smoother than it is now before tonight!

She had Shu’er buy some milk and immersed herself in a milk bath. She sat in the bath for a very long time and only emerged when she felt that her skin was slightly smoother than before. Someone knocked just as she was finished drying herself, and Shu’er announced, “Sir Bai, Sir Song has something he needs to speak to you about.”

“Alright. I’ll be right there.” Bai Xiangxiu got dressed and came out, only to find that Song Jiayue had already been waiting outside for quite some time. He immediately stood up upon seeing her,”…Sir Bai, there is something I need you to help me with.”

“What’s the matter?” Bai Xiangxiu sat down. She was slightly puzzled; it felt that Song Jiaoyue was a little keyed up.

“It’s like this… we invaded the enemy’s camp and found a woman who was held captive.”

“What woman?”

“It’s… Miss Lin.”

“What?!” It was very impressive for the female lead to still be alive.

“She seems to be a little dazed, so could I ask you to take care of her for the time being and bring her back to the capital together with us?” Since he’d brought her with him, he naturally would have to bring her back as well.

“I see. That’s fine.”

“But, could you be the one to make plans and take care of her?”

“Sure.” Since Lin Qianzi was a woman, it really wasn’t appropriate if she was left in other people’s care. However, she didn’t want to see that female lead, so she let Shu’er arrange for her to be housed in a civilian’s home. There were a lot of women in that house so they could look after her. Anyhow, it would only be for a single night.

She never would’ve thought that a problem would arise even before that person even walked into that house. Since the female lead was so attractive, the son in that family actually went and committed an offence. Bai Xiangxiu had no choice but to grant them an audience. It hadn’t even been four hours since everything had been arranged. How could a problem have arisen so quickly?

The son in that family was at the tender age of eighteen. He looked as though he had been severely wronged as he kneeled on the ground. His mother and elder sister accompanied him on the floor. Traces of dried tears were still evident on their faces.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Xiangxiu questioned in a deep voice. She purposely kept her voice deep; her current identity was that of a strategist that Long Heng had invited. As a result of that, she was extremely respected by those in the army.
