Chapter 14 Delicate Concubine VS Impotent General (14)
At the table, Song Wan thoughtfully served food to Madam Cheng, making the latter very happy.
Madam Cheng looked at Cheng Jingyan with satisfaction and asked, "Yan'er, have you chosen a name for the child?"
Cheng Jingyan put some food into Sang Yu's bowl and said indifferently, "No."
Madam Cheng tucked a lip into her mouth. "Since that's the case, I've thought of a few. See if any of them are suitable..."
“Mother,” Cheng Jingyan interrupted calmly, “this matter is not urgent. Please eat more vegetables. The mutton here is quite good.”
Old Madam Cheng glared at him dejectedly and had no choice but to give up.
Sang Yu stared intently at the outside of the tent.
"De Shun," Cheng Jingyan called out indifferently upon seeing this.
"General, what is it?"
Who is that man outside?
De Shun went over to take a look and quickly returned, saying, "It's Lieutenant Li who escorted Madam and the Old Madam here. I heard he's Madam's distant cousin."
Distant cousin… Cheng Jingyan subtly lowered his brows.
"Call them over."
"Yes."
Cheng Jingyan glanced at the person beside him and saw that she was still looking at Li Wei, which made him a little jealous.
I thought to myself that I must teach this little devil a lesson tonight.
Li Wei arrived quickly. Song Wanben was drinking tea, and when she saw him, she almost spat it out and coughed several times.
"Wan'er, what's wrong?" Old Madam Cheng patted her a few times.
Sang Yu rested her chin on her hand and giggled, "What did you see that frightened you so much, sister?"
Song Wan glared at her fiercely, but when she saw Li Wei, she quickly looked away.
Cheng Jingyan: "Is Lieutenant Li being transferred to the frontier?"
Li Wei cupped his hands in greeting. "Yes, I have long admired the general's demeanor. It was through my wife's introduction that I had the opportunity to come here."
"Oh?" Cheng Jingyan glanced at Song Wan. "Are the two old acquaintances?"
"Yes……"
Madam Cheng was very satisfied with Li Wei and praised him, saying, "Yan'er, Lieutenant Li has taken great care of Wan'er and me along the way. You must reward him well."
“Mother is right,” Cheng Jingyan said with a half-smile. “I should reward her properly.”
Li Wei was startled and went down to collect his reward.
After drinking a cup of tea, Sang Yu told Cheng Jingyan that she was going to rest.
Seeing that she looked tired, Cheng Jingyan immediately became anxious and put his arm around her waist. "Didn't you get enough rest? I'll go with you."
“No need, my husband.” Sang Yu squeezed his hand. “You stay here with Mother.”
Cheng Jingyan asked Mingyue to escort her out, and Song Wan immediately gave Cuiqing a wink.
A moment later, an unfamiliar maidservant hurriedly knelt in and said, "This servant saw Consort Sang having an affair!"
"Insolence!" Cheng Jingyan smashed the wine glass, and all the servants knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.
Old Madam Cheng put down her chopsticks, her face ashen. "Are you telling the truth?"
The maid was startled, glanced in a certain direction, and continued, "I saw it with my own eyes. General, you can take some people to see it."
Sang Yu did indeed leave the banquet.
"Brother Jingyan, should we go and take a look?" Song Wan asked cautiously.
Cheng Jingyan knew this clearly, and said calmly and coldly, "I want to go and see who exactly is stirring up trouble!"
As he spoke, he gave Song Wan a cold look.
Song Wanxin was startled, and her hands unconsciously clenched.
The large tent on the right was usually where Cheng Jingyan received guests and rested, but at this moment, the sounds of a man and a woman breathing heavily could be heard from inside.
Hearing the unfamiliar female voice inside, Cheng Jingyan stood calmly in front of the door. "Someone, break down the door!"
"Brother Jingyan, shall I go and take a look first?" Song Wan frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
"Husband." A soft, charming voice came from behind.
Cheng Jingyan immediately turned around, stepped forward and hugged him, "Where did you run off to? I was so worried about you."
"I wasn't feeling well, so I went out for a bit of fresh air," she said softly, a faint smile playing on her lips. Even her gaze was exceptionally gentle and alluring when she looked at people.
He smiled and ruffled her hair. "Is the baby bothering you again?"
The two were so intimate that Song Wan was green with envy.
Madam Cheng coughed once, "If Aunt Sang is here, who's inside?"
Song Wan's expression changed drastically, and her heart pounded.
The maid was so frightened she couldn't speak, and she knelt on the ground, her body trembling.
With his arm around Sang Yu's waist, Cheng Jingyan's expression softened slightly, and he said in a calm tone, "Someone, kick the door open for me!"
With a "bang," the scene inside was revealed, showing none other than Cuiqing, the maidservant of Li Wei and Song Wan.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, while the two of them remained deeply moved.
Song Wan's body jolted violently. Seeing Cui Qing's flushed face, how could she not understand?
She was tricked!
De Shun stepped forward and pulled the two reluctant lovers apart, making them kneel down. He then poured a bucket of cold water on each of them, which brought them back to their senses.
Realizing what had happened, Cuiqing hurriedly pulled at her clothes, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for forgiveness, "Madam, please save me, I've fallen for your trap!"
Li Wei's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he lay prostrate on the ground without saying a word.
Sang Yu leaned against Cheng Jingyan's chest, giving him a quick glance.
I don't know what benefits Song Wan gave him, but he's still keeping it a secret for her even at this point.
Cheng Jingyan withdrew his gaze in disgust. "Send this lowly maid out to be sold, and send that troublemaker away too!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Wei and coldly ordered, "Men, drag Li Wei away and punish him with one hundred strokes of the military rod, then take him away for strict interrogation!"
"Madam, save me! I've been framed!" Knowing she was going to die, Cuiqing rushed over like a madwoman.
Song Wan immediately asked her, "Who framed you?"
"It was Aunt Sang! She's the one who locked me in the room!"
"I didn't!" Suddenly wronged, Sang Yu's legs went weak and her eyes filled with tears.
She grabbed Song Wan's hand. "Sister, I came out to get some fresh air, but I ran into Cuiqing on the way. When I saw her walk over here, I wanted to pull her away, but she ignored me and even scratched my hand."
As she spoke, she revealed the scratches on her wrist; the red marks against her fair skin looked particularly alarming.
Upon seeing the red stain on her hand, Cheng Jingyan flew into a rage. "Guards, drag this despicable servant away and behead her!"
"No, that's not how it is, Sang Yu, you vixen, you're lying!" Cui Qing rushed over with bloodshot eyes. Sang Yu hid in Cheng Jingyan's arms in fear, but Cheng Jingyan kicked Cui Qing away hard.
He immediately ordered his men to drag Cuiqing away and behead her.
Sang Yu listened to his orders with her eyes closed. Since Song Wan's maid had done such a thing, she would also be punished. Cheng Jingyan ordered her to reflect on her actions in the tent and not to leave anyone to serve her.
Madam Cheng's face was ashen; she was very disappointed in Song Wan, so she didn't plead for her.
Cheng Jingyan carried Sang Yu back to the main tent.
The man applied medicine to the wound on her hand with a blank expression, without saying a word.
Sang Yu swallowed hard, feeling somewhat uneasy.
She hugged his neck playfully, "Husband, what's wrong? Sangsang successfully completed our plan!"
