Chapter 4452: Cloud to Ground
like, they'll all end up as rotten dog meat!"Just then, there was a commotion in the surrounding forest.Behind the thick, dark shrubs, it seemed as if thousands of soldiers were swarming towards them....Luo Fengtang didn't speak. He leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes.
“If General Xie is interested, he may stay,” he said.
Vice-general Xie’s heart moved. He did want to, but…
"General, my loyalty to you is unwavering. Since you do not wish to accept the gifts given by Lord Hang, I shall arrange for their return immediately!"
Xie, the deputy general, bowed and withdrew from the room.
Once his footsteps had completely disappeared, Luofengtang grabbed the teacup in his hand, and it shattered into pieces.
“Thank you, Deputy General. He completely wasted the last chance I gave him.” Luo Fengtang said coldly.
Ye Yi appeared from the corner and glanced in the direction Xie Fuzhang had left. He then said to Luo Fengtang in a low voice: "According to my subordinates' knowledge, rumors of Su Meiniang playing the piano, drinking wine, playing chess with General you, and even taking walks together on spring days all originated from Bieyuan and came from Xie Fuzhang's mouth."
“During the spring outing, Miss Su used the general's carriage. Inside the carriage sat a man dressed in the general’s usual attire. It's clear this was intentional.”
Luo Fengtang let out a cold laugh.
He claimed to have left Tianhai County a few days ago to investigate the towns and villages below, but secretly, he had placed many informants in Tianhai County.
Every move Xie Fubiao made was under his control, including the several clandestine meetings Xie Fubiao had with the steward of Lord Hang's mansion at a teahouse during this period. Luo Fengtang knew everything about it.
“General, my subordinate has something to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate to speak.” Ye Yi suddenly spoke again.
Luo Fengtang said, "It's all right to speak freely."
"Actually, General, if you kept Su Meiniang, it might be more beneficial for the investigation. You just need to be willing to put yourself in a difficult position and act out a scene with Su Meiniang…"
Luo Fengtang cast a glance at Ye Yi, who immediately lowered his head and dared not continue speaking.
After a moment, Luofengtang sighed softly and said: "Your suggestion makes sense. Su Meiniang is definitely connected to Lord Hang, she must be someone in the know."
“When it comes to Luo Fengtang doing things, I can put on a show for the occasion, but I wouldn't fool around with women. That kind of humiliation wouldn't be for me, but for my wife. Do you understand”

A flicker of understanding crossed Ye Yi's eyes. It turned out that the General would rather go far and wide to investigate the case than be with Su Meiniang... All for the sake of his wife back home.
The general didn't want his wife to be troubled or misunderstood in this regard. The general truly loved and cared for his wife deeply.
“Yes, Ye Yi has learned! ” Ye Yi clasped his hands together, the admiration in his eyes deepening.
Luofengtang said, "There is something I need you to do."
Ye had just taken the task and left when, right behind him, Deputy General Xie returned to the study.
“General, that Miss Su appears fragile, but her spirit is truly strong and stubborn. As soon as I explained my intentions, she burst into tears, claiming she had a reason to stay in the courtyard and couldn't leave. When I pressed her for details, she refused to say anything, insisting on meeting you instead. I was powerless to stop her, and now she has arrived at the door…”
Xie Fuzhang and Luofengtang trembled with fear, their faces flushed with shame.
Luò Fēng Táng was sitting at his desk, preparing to write a letter home to report his well-being. He had just picked up his brush when Xie Fùjiàng returned, which made Luò Fēng Táng quite annoyed.
“General Xie, your recent performance has truly surprised me. Even a small singer you couldn't handle properly, causing trouble and bringing it to my attention. What use are you to me” Luo Fengtang questioned in a deep voice, his eyes icy cold, making General Xie feel like he was trapped in an ice cellar.
“I am incompetent, General. Please punish me!” Xie, the deputy general, knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

Luo Fengtang waved his hand: “Your punishment will be held for now, go and summon Su Meiniang!”
Xie Fuzhang quickly retreated from the room. When he reached the door, he gave Su Meiniang a look and then quickly left.
Whether she can stay depends on Su Meiniang's final trump card. I hope she can use her feminine charm and methods to conquer Luofengtang.
Su Meiniang also gave Xie Fuzhang a confident expression.
At the age of twelve, she fell into the land of fireworks. Ten years have passed since then, and there is no man that Su Meiniang has not conquered.
Even if the national hero inside was as tough as iron, she could turn him into a gentle soul!

When Su Meiniang entered the study, she saw a young, imposing man sitting majestically on the grandmaster's chair.
His cold and sharp features, his rigid lines, a dark robe draped over him, highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist, his legs were long.
Especially when she came into contact with a man's gaze, Su Meiniang's heart beat inexplicably faster.
Over the past decade, I've roamed the fireworks district, encountering countless talented individuals, wealthy merchants, and young masters.
There were all sorts of styles, and even among the ten most talented men of Qinhuai, those who were said to be as handsome as Pan An, she had seen them all and could keep her composure. But this man before her gave Su Meiniang a feeling she couldn't describe.
The Qinhuai courtesan Su Meiniang had met General Luo.
Su Meinian took a deep breath and walked up to Luofeng Tang, kneeling sideways and bowing deeply.
Even though the act of greeting was commonplace and unremarkable when performed by others, Su Meiniang moved with grace and elegance.
When she slightly bent her knees, the pink Luo skirt on her body blossomed like petals. A faint fragrance drifted into Luofeng Tang's nostrils with the wind, silently teasing the man's heartstrings.
This fragrance is a unique blend of incense powder created by Su Meiniang. It has a sweet scent with a hint of a special effect, between the sheets...
That's why many men who catch a whiff of her scent become addicted...
“Achoo!”
Luofengtang, who was sitting quite well and seemed to be looking at her with interest, suddenly sneezed.
"General, what's wrong Have you caught a cold"
Su Meiniang immediately asked with concern and took out her handkerchief. She lightly moved forward to attend to him, but was pushed away by Luofengtang.
He took a sachet from his waist and held it to his nose and mouth, frowning.

"Miss Su, the scent of your powder is rather pungent. This general finds it unpleasant. Please stand over there."
He pointed to a place.
Su Meiniang turned her head and took a look. She gritted her teeth secretly, gave a charming smile, and moved over.
Then, he stood there dejectedly, pitifully 'gazing longingly' at Luofeng Tang.
“The general's sachet is quite unique, the fragrance... is also quite distinctive. I dare to ask, what kind of spice is it filled with”
After seeing Luofeng Tang let himself stand there, Su Meiniang took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
The sound, when it first reached Luofeng Tang's ears, even made Luofeng Tang pause for a moment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Miss Su truly lives up to her reputation as a famous courtesan of Qinhuai. She possesses a truly beautiful voice, so enchanting it rivals my wife's by three-tenths.” Luo Fengtang said.
The previous few sentences shook Su Meiniang to her core, making her feel hope. However, the last sentence instantly pulled her back down to earth from her cloud-like state.
The Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Godsire, and cannot move.”It's too late to say anything. Even if you did, it wouldn't make a difference.Because of Luofengtang, he had already seized Qingxu Daochang in one fell swoop."Oh my, what's this"...
