After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 49

Nevertheless, nobody in the crowd around dared to stare a second longer. Lord Chen most likely didn’t have any good intentions when he requested this man’s presence here. They must hide far away and not get involved, lest they’d be contaminated with filth.

With this in mind, everybody averted their eyes and treated Huo Wujiu like air.

Unexpectedly, a young lady tugged on the sleeve of her close friend and whispered, “The heavens is really jealous of a heroic genius2 like him. It’s God’s will to torture him like this…”

Her close friend promptly grabbed her and stopped her from talking nonsense.

On the other side, Qin Liu saw that everyone invited had arrived, so she asked all the ladies to take their seats in the garden.

She had been in Chen Ti's rear courtyard for almost three years. Although she got into this mess because of the main wife’s cowardice, she still had to find a chance to make an entrance. Today’s event was the opportunity that Lord Chen provided Qin Liu, so wasn’t this her lucky chance? She had to win everybody’s favor at today’s banquet and carry out what Lord Chen wanted her to do well, so that everyone could see who the wise helper of her husband was.

Chen Li was faint-hearted and wasn’t as clever as her. Shortly after, Qin Liu shuttled between the ladies, ushering them in various positions and asking them to sit down. She then asked the maids to step forward to serve tea and snacks.

After all these were arranged, Qin Liu walked enchantingly in front of Huo Wujiu.

"Good day, Madam Huo." She smiled and bowed to Huo Wujiu.

As early as just now, Qin Liu had secretly sized up the man in the wheelchair. He had an outstanding appearance, a noble temperament, and was heard to be a deadly warrior. Unfortunately, he was now just a prisoner of war subjected to indignities, and a cripple.

Since she wanted to use today’s opportunity to rise in status, then she had no choice but to offend him, and also trample on him.

With this in mind, Qin Liu smilingly remarked, neither light nor heavy but genuinely meant to offend, "I had only heard that you, Madam Huo, are a man of striking appearance. I’ve never expected that seeing you in person once is a hundred times better than hearing it from the mouth of others. Today, you’ve visited our residence. Although we are also considered sisters, there are still differences between men and women regardless. So, I arranged a distant seat for you. Please don't take offense.”

Of course, Huo Wujiu ignored her.

Meng Qianshan behind him smiled and said, "Thank you, Concubine."

Qin Liu covered her lips and smiled, saying that it was no big deal. She guided them to a table by the pond and asked Huo Wujiu to take a seat there.

Just then, the maid in charge of pouring tea greeted them.

Qin Liu's mind turned a hundred times and already came up with a trick. She naturally reached out and took the teapot from the maid's hand, then smiled and walked over to Huo Wujiu's side and quite naturally poured him tea.

She didn’t see, however, that Huo Wujiu, who had his eyes downcast, frowned indistinctly.

The next moment, Qin Liu deftly exclaimed and knocked over the tea. The ladies were attracted by this alarming cry and saw that Qin Liu seemed to be embraced by someone. She looked as if she’d been molested and fell straight towards Huo Wujiu.

Everyone turned pale.

But Huo Wujiu, who was sitting there, frowned tightly. His hand pressed his wheelchair to the side and turned, cleverly avoiding her.

Hence, Qin Liu’s initial attempt to pose as a victim of the man's forced embrace instead turned into deliberate leaning toward him, and was unreservedly exposed to the crowd.

Immediately after, she leaned into empty air. In her failure to stand firm, she plunged straight down, head first into the pond.

Shrieks ensued from the crowd of women.

The maids jumped into the pond to save Qin Liu, and chaos reigned everywhere. Only Huo Wujiu silently pressed his wheelchair and moved a few steps forward to give the pond an icy glare.

That trifling trick was so obvious. He sensed that something was wrong as early as when she leaned towards him.

Meng Qianshan beside him was scared silly.

Qin Liu was rescued in no time and wrapped up tightly in a robe and blanket. Chen Li rushed forward to have her sent down to rest. However, Qin Liu, who was rescued, struggled and was unwilling to let go.

Qin Liu knew that since she started it, she must carry it out to the end. She had just failed her trick and paid the price, so now, she absolutely couldn’t neglect any bit of advantage.

The eyes of the crowd fell on her.

She cried, "How could Madam Huo do such a thing? Not only did he despise me, but he also pushed me down the pond!"

Everyone around was well aware that she was framing Huo Wujiu. However, they kept their thoughts to themselves, and no one dared to stand up and expose her.

Qin Liu knew that this method had worked, so she performed more and more vigorously.

“I have lost my chastity. My Lord, I have no dignity to see you anymore! You guys let go of me. Let me knock my head to death here, then I’ll be clean!"

Chen Li stood by with trepidation.

She knew exactly what Qin Liu was thinking. If she made a scene like this today, word would immediately get out, and tomorrow, her husband could use this as an excuse to face His Majesty.

She wanted to stop it, but as a married woman, she had to obey her husband's orders.

She cautiously glanced at Huo Wujiu.

He was sitting upright, expressionless and cold, quietly watching the farce Qin Liu was performing.

Like a steel gun that no one could bend.

Chen Li had never seen a military officer fighting in a war, but at this time, she somehow felt that an indomitable general should resemble him.

It was a pity that the Heavens were jealous of him and left him chin-deep in danger. Under such circumstances, no one naturally could help him…

But at this stage, a concierge came running anxiously.

"Madam...Madam!" The concierge shouted.

Chen Li looked behind her and saw the concierge stopping at the garden door, looking frightened and discomfited.

"What's wrong?" Chen Li asked.

The concierge immediately replied, "King Jing is in the mansion hall!"

The author has something to say:

Jiang Suizhou: I think I am very handsome, I fell from the sky, a hero to save the beauty. At this time, I need a little BGM.

Huo Wujiu: How dare you come? [grieved]
