Xiao Yan lowered her head and stood obediently behind Chu Lian. Her lips curled up.

Wenlan's eyes widened and she bit her lip in anger.

The atmosphere became awkward. Suddenly, Chu Lian chuckled and said nonchalantly, "What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

The adjutant quickly said, "Yes, it's cold outside and it's snowing hard. We should go to the tent to get warm."

The two female soldiers in front of the tent didn't seem to see the people here at all. They were still busy, chatting and laughing while washing clothes. From time to time, they would let out a bell-like laughter.

The adjutant's status wasn't high and the female soldiers were under General Sima's command. Even if they met on a normal day, both the left and right armies had to show them some respect. Right now, he didn't have the authority to kick the female soldiers out of the tent.

Plus, Jinyi Xiangjun hadn't said anything, so he didn't have the authority either.

The adjutant looked at the female soldiers and then at Chu Lian. His expression became more and more bitter. He thought he got a good job, but he didn't expect it to be this two-faced.

He had to extort money from Commandant He later.

As the group got closer, the words of the two female soldiers gradually reached their ears.

Wenqing's expression turned cold. She was about to scold the two female soldiers when Chu Lian stopped her.

"Our general treats Commandant He so well!"

"Of course. Commandant He risked his life to save our general last time. It's only right that the general treats him well."

"I didn't know Commandant He was so skilled."

"I think Commandant He and our general are a perfect match. They're a perfect match and both came from the military. In the future, the general will be able to assist Commandant He."

"But, I heard that Commandant He got married?"

"Hmph, Commandant He's first wife is just a poor girl. How can she compare to our general?"

"That's true. The general and Commandant He are in love. When our general went to the front lines two days ago, Commandant He followed because he was worried. Once the war in the north ends, we might be able to attend the general's wedding."

"Dream on. Hurry up and wash the clothes. If the general finds out, he'll punish us."

…

Chu Lian furrowed her brows and listened for a while. Then, she walked towards the front of the tent.

She laughed coldly in her heart. Who would have thought that her sick husband would be so attractive?

Even General Sima had taken a fancy to him.

Chu Lian glanced at the female adjutant who was slowly following behind her.

Only when she approached the two female soldiers in front of the tent did the female adjutant seem to see clearly that these were people from her own general's tent, hurriedly scolding them.

"What are you doing here instead of training in broad daylight? Go back and receive your punishment!"

The two female soldiers were scolded by the female adjutant until they knelt on the ground and trembled. "We know our mistakes. Please punish us, Sister Yan."

"Go back and get ten strokes of the stick each!" Little Yan said coldly.

The female soldier trembled in response, but she still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Xiao Yan pulled a long face. "Hurry up and leave!"

The two female soldiers looked at each other and finally mustered up the courage to say, "We know our mistakes and accept our punishment. However, Commandant He's clothes haven't been washed yet. If the general finds out, we won't have a good ending."

Chu Lian stood to the side and watched. She blinked twice. Were these women addicted to acting?

Although Xiao Yan's expression was ugly, her eyes were filled with ridicule and satisfaction. She was clearly very satisfied with the two female soldiers' performance. Just as she was about to make a final conclusion, she heard Chu Lian suddenly speak up.

"What they said is reasonable. You have to finish what you started. Since you were ordered by General Sima to wash your husband's clothes, then finish washing them before you leave!"

Xiao Yan didn't expect Chu Lian to not be angry to the point of jumping up and down. She even ordered her people to finish washing the clothes.

She opened her mouth to retort, but found that she couldn't find any words to refute.

It was like eating a honey peach. It was supposed to be fresh and juicy, but when you ate it, you found that it was too hard. You bit down too much and almost choked to death.

The two female soldiers were clearly shocked as well. They lost their composure and opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Chu Lian looked at the female adjutant and frowned.

The female adjutant's heart skipped a beat. She could only grit her teeth and order the two competent female soldiers to continue washing the clothes. She was only allowed to return to receive her punishment after the clothes were washed.

The two female soldiers had no choice but to lower their heads and continue washing the clothes. However, their mood was far from their previous excitement.

It turned out that the hot water they brought to wash the clothes had already started to turn cold. Moreover, they were at the entrance of the tent, and the cold wind was mixed with light snow. When they put their hands into the cold water, they felt a sharp pain. Even so, they could only endure it for now.

Chu Lian didn't care about them and entered He Changdi's tent.

Commandant Guo's adjutant had a dumbfounded expression the entire time. He rubbed the back of his head helplessly and then smiled foolishly.

Although the Xiangjun had only said a simple sentence, why did he feel that it was so satisfying?

Their Right Wing Army had often been bullied by this group of tyrannical flowers.

When Chu Lian brought the people into the tent, the two female soldiers who were immersed in washing clothes finally dared to raise their heads. One of them called out in grievance, "Sister Xiaoyan!

This water is so cold! "

The female adjutant, Xiaoyan, gritted her teeth and glared at the closed tent curtain. She then squatted down and comforted, "I've made you tired. I'll help you wash quickly so you can go back to the tent and rest early."

The female soldier who had just acted coquettishly grunted in agreement. The three of them began to wash the clothes together.

This female soldier who had acted coquettishly was Xiaoyan's younger sister. She was usually spoiled by her and had never suffered any hardships. Xiaoyan wanted nothing more than to protect her in her arms during the day. How could she bear to see her suffer a bit of hardship and grievance?

There weren't many clothes in the basin. There were only three or four pieces in total. It was fast for the three of them to wash one piece each. Although the washing water was cold, it was bearable for a while.

Just as the three of them finished washing the clothes and were about to pour the water, the tent curtain suddenly moved slightly and was lifted open. They then saw Wenlan throw the clothes in her arms into the wooden basin.

"These are the dirty clothes that the Xiangjun found in the tent. I presume that you didn't see them. Let's wash them together!"

After Wenlan finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the tent, leaving the three women dumbfounded.

One of the female soldiers' eyes fell on the clothes that could barely fit in the entire wooden basin. Her lips trembled. She couldn't believe that there was actually a thick and heavy cloak among them!

How could they wash such thick clothes!?

The female soldier almost cried, "Sister Xiaoyan!

We're not washing them anymore. Let's go back! "

They were the ones who had said those words in the beginning. How could they just stop washing now? The female adjutant, Xiaoyan, also knew that this was the Jinyi Xiangjun's display of power. However, she had no choice but to brace herself and finish washing these clothes.

"Stop talking nonsense. Save your energy to finish washing these clothes!"
