The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 468 Acting

"Master, you are back!"

At the gate of the general's mansion, Zhao Ting'er was standing there looking forward to it. When she saw General Cao coming back, she walked up to him and greeted him with a smile.

"Madam, it's cold outside. What are you waiting for here? Come in quickly."

General Cao dismounted, handed the food box and horse to the two guards who came over, took Zhao Ting'er's hand, and said with concern.

"I'm not cold. I've asked someone to prepare the dishes that Master likes. I'm looking forward to having a meal with Master when he comes back!"

Zhao Ting'er glanced at the food box in the guard's hand and recognized that the mark on the food box was from her favorite restaurant. She was very happy and said with a smile.

"I knew you hadn't eaten yet. Come on, I bought your favorite dishes and snacks. Let's go to the Moon Viewing Tower and enjoy the moon while having a meal."

"All is up to the master!"

Zhao Ting'er was very happy to know that General Cao wanted to accompany her to appreciate the moon. Seeing the affection in his eyes, the suspicion she had towards him during the day disappeared for the most part.

When the old butler nearby heard that General Cao wanted to admire the moon, he went downstairs and ordered people to decorate the Moon-Viewing Tower and prepare the food and snacks. He then winked at the nanny and several maids who were serving on the side, and everyone quietly withdrew, leaving only General Cao and Zhao Ting'er upstairs.

"Master, please eat this..."

"Madam, please eat it while it's hot. Try this dish first..."

General Cao and Zhao Ting'er picked up each other's favorite dishes and spoke at the same time.

"Ha ha!"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then laughed at the same time, placing the food on each other's plates. General Cao was the first to speak, "Madam, in the blink of an eye, we have lived together for so many years. You have to take care of the affairs within the mansion, manage the business outside the mansion, serve your husband, and raise your daughter. It's really hard work. Come, let your husband toast you."

After saying that, he personally poured a full glass of wine for Zhao Ting'er and filled it up for himself, looking very affectionate.

Zhao Ting'er felt warm in her heart when she heard what General Cao said, and she said softly to General Cao: "I am willing to do this. As long as I am by your side, I will not feel tired no matter what I do."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Madam, you suddenly fell ill before, and the imperial physician's treatment was ineffective. I was really worried, so I sent people to ask around for a miracle doctor. I didn't expect that Madam's illness would heal on its own. I was so happy! Now I can finally rest assured and sleep well."

General Cao personally picked up some food for Zhao Ting'er and spoke slowly, with a look of relief on his face.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Master. My concubine is no longer seriously ill, and I'm thinking of managing the business again. What do you think?"

When Zhao Ting'er saw General Cao picking food for her affectionately, she felt very sweet in her heart and took the opportunity to ask.

"Madam, do whatever you want. I stopped you before because I was worried about your health. But you still have to bring those guards with you. If you think they are in the way, just let them follow from a distance. Otherwise, I will be worried. How about I call the guards back after I deal with the enemy?"

General Cao said in a very good-tempered manner.

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Master. By the way, today I met a very skillful girl. The dresses she sewed were not only finely stitched, but also very novel and beautiful in style. She also put on makeup very well. I want to buy her into the mansion and have her serve me personally."

Zhao Ting'er swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at General Cao and asked tentatively.

If it was before she fell ill, there would be no need to ask General Cao for such a small matter, but after she fell ill, General Cao said that her enemies were coming, so his personal consent was required for entering the mansion.

"Since Madam likes it, I will have someone investigate tomorrow. If there is no problem, she will be allowed to enter the mansion. But Madam, it is better for her to be willing and not forced."

General Cao poured Zhao Ting'er another glass of wine and said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, sir. Please try this, it is very sweet."

Zhao Ting'er was very happy to hear that General Cao agreed to let Hongmei enter the mansion so easily. Seeing the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at her, all her doubts disappeared.

Perhaps she was blinded by her deep affection for General Cao, and she did not see the coldness in the depths of his eyes.

The two of them drank and admired the moon, looking very happy. General Cao poured wine for Zhao Ting'er from time to time, and slowly Zhao Ting'er fell drunk in General Cao's arms.

"Madam! Madam?"

General Cao shook Zhao Ting'er gently and shouted repeatedly.

Seeing that Zhao Ting'er was really drunk, he put her on the couch beside him without any gentleness, and there was no trace of tenderness and affection on his face.

Men are born to act.

General Cao stood in front of the fence, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and said silently in his heart: "Yan'er, if it weren't for Zhao Ting'er, it would be you and me drinking here at this moment. If you know about this in the afterlife, you must bless your husband to successfully avenge you."

"Master, do you want to send Madam back to the courtyard to rest?"

General Cao was staring at the bright moon in a daze. The old butler came up quietly and asked softly.

"I will personally take the Madam back to her room. You can have someone clean up this place."

General Cao came back to his senses, walked to the couch expressionlessly, picked up Zhao Ting'er by the waist, and gave instructions lightly.

After saying that, he strode away holding Zhao Ting'er.

"Greetings, Master. What's this, Madam?"

When Nanny Zhao saw General Cao coming back with his wife in his arms, she hurried forward and asked with a worried look on her face.

"Nothing, Madam was in a good mood today and drank a lot of wine, so she is a little drunk. Tell someone to prepare hot water for Madam to wash her up. Go to the kitchen and tell someone to make some sobering soup for Madam."

General Cao walked towards Zhao Ting'er's bedroom without stopping, while giving instructions to Madam Zhao and Xi Que with a smile.

"Yes, sir!"

The two of them took orders and trotted away. Not long after, the hot water was ready, and Nanny Zhao personally washed Zhao Ting'er. During this time, Zhao Ting'er did not wake up.

"My lady, how much wine have you drunk?"

Nanny Zhao sighed and said helplessly.

"Is Madam awake?"

General Cao walked from the outer hall into the bedroom carrying a bowl of sobering soup and asked softly.

"Sir, my lady hasn't woken up yet."

Madam Zhao tucked the quilt for Zhao Ting'er and squatted down to reply.

"Madam, Madam? Wake up quickly, drink this hangover soup before going to sleep, otherwise you will have a headache tomorrow."

General Cao handed the sobering soup to Madam Zhao, embraced Zhao Ting'er, and called gently.
