Chapter 07: Moans

Yao Mi's warm breath sprayed on his neck, a subtle fragrance wafting through the air. Xie Teng adjusted his own breath, taking a long while to catch his breath, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Are you letting you go to harm others?"

In people's imagination, military generals are often seen as burly figures. However, from the esteemed General Xie Duoshi to the younger members of the Xie family such as Xie Teng, they are all tall and elegant, with eyebrows like willows and eyes that sparkle with youthful vitality.

Xie Lan quickly elaborated on the sequence of events. According to his account, Xie Teng, upon seeing that Yao Mi bore some resemblance to Xie Yun, could not restrain himself and took her to the study overnight, where the two became affectionate and intimate with each other

The scene in the study was intense, and Shi Xiuer's cheeks were flushed, her palms sweaty. Suddenly, she felt a tickling sensation at the back of her ears, accompanied by a voice asking if she looked good. She casually hissed in response. What a reckless thing to do; why ask if you can just look? After hissing, she immediately felt something was off and abruptly turned around to look behind her, but there was no one there. She couldn't help but turn pale with fear, reaching out to pull Fan Qing, placing a finger horizontally on her lips to signal Fan Qing to be quiet, while dragging her to the other side. She leaned close to Fan Qing's ear and asked, "Did you hear any sound just now?"

Fan Qing, after listening to Shi Xiu'er, took a long time to regain her composure and quietly said: "Madam Meng is the niece of General Xie, and by extension, Miss Gu can be considered General Xie's cousin. Even so, do they have the right to catch someone in the act?"

Due to the sultry weather that night, Xie Duoshi slept restlessly. Hearing Xie Nan's call, he turned over and called out loudly: "Is that you, Nan'er? Come in!"

Seeing Fan Qing hanging her head in silence, Shi Xiu'er was about to ask again when she looked up and noticed the light of a lantern approaching from a distance. Her expression changed, and she bit her lip, saying: "Quick, hide."

As soon as the two had hidden themselves, the light of the lantern drew closer. Shi Xiuer discerned and whispered, "It seems to be Madam Meng and Miss Gu, mother and daughter."

The three of them went together to the general's residence, sharing a room for several nights, during which they exchanged many heartfelt conversations and came to understand each other. They are merely ordinary young women who wish to avoid the tragedy of being randomly matched with unsuitable partners. Therefore, they must unite and support one another closely to have a glimmer of hope. Currently, Yao Mi is suspected of getting involved with Xie Teng, and it is just the right time for Meng Wanqin and Gu Meixue to catch them in the act. They must assist Yao Mi in overcoming this difficult situation

Fan Qing was just stunned by the scene in the study and has not yet come to her senses. Her mind is still muddled as she asks in confusion, "What are they bringing people over here for at this late hour?"

The Xie family currently has four gentlemen, none of whom have any proper female relatives. Not only do several grandsons refuse to marry, but they also do not take in any women for the household. Xie Duoshi has been quite worried about this, and being a grandfather rather than a grandmother, he has no particular ideas regarding the selection of a great-granddaughter-in-law. He only knows that if his grandson likes someone, that is sufficient. Now, upon hearing that Xie Teng has grown close to the new kitchen maid, and that they are even engaging in intimate activities in the study at midnight, he cannot help but feel a sense of joy, clapping his hands and saying: "Well done! If you like her, go for it; that is the essence of being a man."

What did you say? Xie Duoshi was surprised

"Come to catch a cheating spouse." Shi Xiuer replied briefly, chuckling softly, "If I didn't know better, I would think that Lady Meng is General Xie's mother-in-law and Miss Meng is his wife! Just look at this situation.

Xie Duoshi was also in high spirits. Ha, when Gu Meixue barges in later, there will inevitably be a commotion. Sun'er will have to protect the little kitchen maid to some extent. We can justifiably enter and reprimand them, then suggest to Sun'er to marry both Gu Meixue and the little kitchen maid, achieving a happy resolution for all.

Xie Teng's hands and feet went numb, and he tugged at Yao Mi for a moment, causing his body to slide backward on the table. His feet lifted up and got stuck right on Yao Mi's hips. Yao Mi was forcefully pulled and lifted by him, her feet dangling in the air, her entire body pressed against him. In the summer, her clothing was thin, and she suddenly felt something was amiss, prompting her to struggle desperately and plead in a low voice: "Let me go"

Although Xie Lan has never experienced women, what kind of place is the military camp? It is a gathering place for a group of men who are the best at talking nonsense. He immediately understood Xie Duoshi's meaning and couldn't help but chuckle, giving a thumbs up and praising, "Grandfather has a wealth of experience"

Xie Teng took a breath, kicked his legs, and using the force of the kick, pulled Yao Mi to slide backward on the counter, intending to slide off the counter. Just as he moved, he saw Yao Mi suddenly struggle, one hand reaching for the edge of the counter, picking up the teapot, and viciously bringing it down towards his head.

Meng Wanqun frowned and said, "The Xie residence has invited me to manage the inner household, and I cannot allow these kitchen maids to run around at night." As she spoke, she instructed someone to prepare and also made her way to the study. Seeing that Gu Meixue wanted to follow, knowing she could not stop her, she could only quietly whisper a few words, asking her to stay behind.

Fan Qing also understood Shi Xiu'er’s meaning. She gently squeezed her hand and whispered, "If Sister Yao can catch General Xie's favor, then when the time comes, she can help us out. At the very least, we could marry a reputable military officer, rather than becoming a concubine to someone."

Grandfather, there is great joy!" Xie Nan sneaked into Xie Duoshi's room, casually lit a lamp, and said with a grin: "Elder brother is in the study with a new little kitchen maid. They...

Xie Lan noticed a sound coming from the other side and was about to lean over to take a look when Xie Sheng pulled him back and whispered in his ear: "It is the other two little kitchen maids"

Gu Meixue raised her eyebrows and said, "I said long ago that those three cooks came to the mansion to seduce my cousin, and it turns out to be true"

It must be known that the women in the kitchen are the most talkative. While they are busy selecting vegetables and cooking, their mouths are never idle, either gossiping or discussing trivial matters. Moreover, Meng Wanqun and Gu Meixue are not the legitimate ladies of the general's residence, yet they act as if they are the mistresses, directing the servants. Some people in the household have already begun to murmur about this. Shi Xiuer and Fan Qing have been in the kitchen for several days and have heard many stories about Meng Wanqun and Gu Meixue. They know that Gu Meixue is determined to marry Xie Teng and has driven out several maids who tried to seduce him. In fact, she even fell out with her long-time friend, Miss Luo, because Miss Luo had been lurking outside the study at night, attempting to entice Xie Teng.

This enchanting fragrance is indeed powerful! Xie Teng involuntarily tightened his grip on Yao Mi, extending his left hand to clasp her waist and gently kneading it. In just an instant, he sensed a change within himself.

While Shi Xiuer and Fan Qing were whispering, Xie Duoshi and Xie Nan happened to sneak up next to Xie Sheng, who was hiding in the shadows. Before Xie Sheng could speak, Xie Duoshi was already gesturing with his hands, signaling him to remain silent, and then pointed to the lantern light that was getting closer.

Xie Duoshi said while putting on his shoes: "Do not rush, your elder brother has a solid foundation, it won't be finished in just a moment."

Xie Lan also said with excitement: "Grandfather, let us quickly catch them in the act."

Xie Sheng, with his keen senses, was speaking when he heard the enchanting moans coming from the study, where Xie Teng and Yao Mi were. Feeling a warmth on the back of his hand, he realized he had started to nosebleed again. Without waiting for Shi Xiu'er to turn her head, he swiftly moved aside and hid in the shadows

Uh! Thank you, rubbing my hands together, is it alright? Tonight is truly lively!

In this brief moment, the outside was bustling with activity, the waves surging beneath the surface. Although Xie Teng's hands and feet felt weak inside the room, he was still aware of his surroundings. He reached out to grasp Yao Mi's waist, intending to subdue her first.

Xie Sheng hid in the shadows and saw two beautiful young female chefs peering through the window. He couldn't help but wipe his nose and silently moved behind Shi Xiuer, whispering, "Is it beautiful?"

What exactly do you want? Yao Mi sensed Xie Teng's breath, her chest rising and falling, a pair of soft, fluffy white rabbits trembling gently in front of Xie Teng's chest

Shi Xiuer squeezed Fan Qing's hand and said: "Let us see whether General Xie will protect Sister Yao. If he protects Sister Yao, then Madam Meng and Miss Gu will have to stand aside. If he does not protect Sister Yao, then we will have to step forward."

As two groups of people headed towards Xie Teng's study, Shi Xiu'er and Fan Qing were peering through a small hole they had poked near the window. Upon seeing this, their faces turned crimson, and they could not make a sound. Ah, has Yao Mi succeeded? ... Just look at the scene of the two at the desk; if they weren't dressed, it would be just like ...

Fan Qing's face turned red with embarrassment as she heard the loud moans coming from Xie Teng and Yao Mi, who were entangled on the desk; she was not deaf, after all.

Xie Sheng smirked, suppressing a laugh. Ha ha, it seems that his cousin Meixue has come to catch him in the act

Xie Duoshi had a handsome appearance in his youth and married a beautiful young lady from a prestigious family in the capital. The couple shared a loving relationship and had two sons and a daughter, Xie Yun, who also inherited their good looks, being exceptionally handsome. However, after the war, both of his sons and his daughter were lost. Now, looking at his three grandsons, who bear a striking resemblance to his sons, the old man feels a heavy heart.

Xie Duoshi snapped a photo of Xie Nan's fingers and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Do I even need to say this? I am a seasoned general who has been through countless battles." In those years, on the battlefield, in the arena of love, in field battles, and in bed battles, I was formidable in every aspect. If these three grandsons had even half of my former prowess, I would have long been able to hold my great-grandson.

Shi Xiu'er nodded slightly, affirming that if she were to marry another, she could never accept being a concubine. Marrying Xie Duoshi, however, was a different matter. Xie Duoshi was elderly, and with the three of them marrying together, there would naturally be no competition for favor or the bed, nor would they need to be overly concerned about the distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children. Once Xie Duoshi was gone, they would become the highest elders of the General's residence, and united, they would not have to worry about living well. However, marrying a man of the same age would mean a lifetime of bearing children, and at that time, not only would there be distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate offspring, but also disputes over family property and competition among concubines for favor. Therefore, it was imperative not to take this lightly; one must be the legitimate wife to avoid being trampled upon.

Yao Mi was lying on Xie Teng, already sensing that his entire body was burning hot, realizing that something was amiss, and her mind rapidly turned over several thoughts. If she were to seduce Xie Teng in this situation, what would the consequences be? No, she could not. In a situation like this, if she were to lose her virtue, she would only be worthy of being Xie Teng's concubine. She would rather marry Xie Duo Shi than become Xie Teng's concubine.

When Xie Duoshi and Xie Nankong hurried to the study, they startled several night-watch maids. One of the maids quickly ran to inform Meng Wanquin's maid, Meng Pozi. Without regard for the late hour, Meng Pozi hurriedly informed a capable maid by Meng Wanquin's side, Lingzhi. Soon, Meng Wanquin and Gu Meixue were made aware of the situation.
