CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: HOW CAN SUCH A JEALOUS WOMAN DESERVE ALL OF THE GENERAL’S AFFECTION?

Last night, Yun Chunnuan had nowhere to go and wandered around until the little White Wolf led her to Lower Street.

She found this rundown house halfway through demolition.

She wasn’t planning to sleep, but somehow her eyelids became heavier and she fell into a deep, unknowing sleep.

In the dream, Yun Chunnuan was constantly searching for a way to return home.

Inadvertently, she stumbled upon an exuberant, dream-like garden.

It was incredibly beautiful here, and she wandered in without realizing it.

To her surprise, she saw a bare-chested man half-lying in the hot spring, surrounded by women on both sides!

And that man...

was none other than the Barbarian General!

Furious, Yun Chunnuan’s head buzzed with anger, and she wanted to turn and leave, but the Barbarian General’s women came to provoke her.

She was not to be messed with, so she fought fiercely with them in the dream!

In the end, she knocked those women down with her poor martial arts and inexperienced Taekwondo.

Yun Chunnuan was basking in her victory when shadows loomed over her.

Looking up, she found that the obnoxious Barbarian soaking in the hot spring had already reached her!

And he still hadn’t put on any clothes!!!

She looked up, and it was... a shocking sight.

Although Yun Chunnuan didn’t really know what that looked like.

Just in the dream, it felt terrifying!

She turned to run again, only for the obnoxious Barbarian to lift her by the scruff of her neck from the ground.

"Running away? Hmm? Who gave you the right?"

This voice, like a ghost, echoed in her ear, so real!

Yun Chunnuan struggled in her dream but couldn’t make a sound.

When she screamed "Ah—" and woke up, she found herself airborne, nestled in a firm and muscular chest.

Looking up...

That chiseled handsome face was gloomy, as if about to unleash a storm at any moment!

"Let me go!" Yun Chunnuan struggled desperately, "You have no right to restrict my personal freedom!"

What the hell ah ah ah!

How did she fall asleep?!

The sky is so bright now, if she hadn’t slept, she should have long since left Bianliao!

A million grass and mud horses galloped through Yun Chunnuan’s frustrated mind.

"Personal freedom?" Yelyu Lie laughed angrily, "You are the Seventh Princess of Great Xia Country, sent to my Bianliao for a marriage alliance. Do you think you have any personal freedom?

If I choose to favor you, then you are free. If I don’t, you are not even as good as a caged canary!"

Yelyu Lie didn’t understand, he had done so much, had taken back all of Lian Qiao’s authority in the General Mansion for her sake.

She had been in charge of the General Mansion for three years, cried so much last night but he didn’t pay her any mind.

Annoyed by her crying, he thought of giving the woman some silver and letting her leave the General Mansion to find a good family.

She should still be untouched, as he had never laid a hand on her...

All because his little wife was unhappy!

And the rights Lian Qiao once held were rightfully meant for the true mistress of the General Mansion.

But she...

Didn’t know what was good for her!

Didn’t value her life!

Yelyu Lie completely gave up on explaining, seeing the little princess’s face turn red with anger, struggling constantly in his arms, and even biting his shoulder!

Both angry and pained, he even threatened with the whole Central Plains, "If you provoke me again, I’ll truly fulfill that saying and slaughter all the people of the Central Plains!"

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

She actually didn’t have a good impression of Great Xia Country, nor did she have any feelings.

But seeing the sincerity in the Barbarian General’s hawk-like eyes, Yun Chunnuan became afraid.

How could it be possible to really let the people of a whole nation be buried with her?

Resigned, she stopped struggling, held tightly in the embrace of the Barbarian General, who took a shortcut, avoiding crowds, back to the General Mansion.

As for the little White Wolf, it inhaled too much calming powder the night before, falling asleep completely like a dead wolf.

Yelyu Lie was so angry he wanted to kick it to death, but he ultimately couldn’t bear it and just left it alone.

The two returned to the General Mansion and headed straight to the main courtyard.

Qiao’er was still sitting at the door keeping watch, and upon seeing the General carrying a small figure, she was overjoyed.

But upon noticing the General’s darkened face and the little princess who had cried a mess in his arms, she dared not say anything.

’Bang—’

The door was slammed shut, and Qiao’er heard the sounds of quarreling inside.

She was listening intently when Aunt Ye called her away, advising her to stay out of trouble and always remember the four words ’cautious in speech and conduct’ as a servant.

Inside the room, the argument was loud enough to scare away all the servants of the main courtyard.

The General had always kept a stern face, but he had never lost his temper! Everyone feared getting into trouble; putting it bluntly, Aunt Ye took Qiao’er away, and the other little maids also scattered, afraid of being implicated.

When Lian Qiao stormed into the main courtyard, she found no one there.

She took big steps toward the General’s room, but before she could enter, she heard a furious voice from inside, "So what if I really slept with Lian Qiao last night?! You actually tried to run away overnight? Damn it! I’m spoiling you too much!"

Outside, Lian Qiao was shocked.

Ran away?

Did the princess from Great Xia run away last night?

Just because the General went to her place?

No wonder, no wonder the General, who had been perfectly fine the day before, suddenly decided to strip away all her privileges last night!

She was unwilling, and the General even proposed giving her a sum of money to leave the General Mansion and find someone else!

Lian Qiao had been at the General Mansion for three years and could count on one hand the number of times she’d seen the General.

Every time he returned, he came and went in a hurry, never touching her, but Lian Qiao had long been infatuated!

She never imagined leaving the General Mansion in her life.

Even if the General was too busy to spend time with her, there would always be a time when he’d be free!

The General was her savior, and she regarded this place as her home, the General as her husband; why should she leave because of a princess from Great Xia?

Lian Qiao was unwilling!

She came today to have a proper showdown with the Great Xia princess.

But she never expected to overhear such a bizarre situation.

Just because the General went to her place, the Great Xia princess ran away overnight!

No wonder the General acted so decisively!

A woman so jealous, why should she deserve all of the General’s affection?

Lian Qiao listened closely, and after the quarrel inside, the crying of the Great Xia princess could be heard...

Inside the room, both were in a furious state.

Yelyu Lie thought it was because he had spoiled her too much, and that’s why the little princess was so unruly.

She was stubborn and defiant, listening to him only to curse him disdainfully, calling him a stud horse.

Yelyu Lie didn’t even feel like explaining that he was still a young, innocent man.

"Fine, you say I’m dirty? I’ll show you what truly dirty means!"

He leaned down, forcefully pressing the tear-stained little princess beneath him...
