Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Chapter 343 Infiltrating the General's Mansion

Qian Duoduo stepped forward, cleared her throat, and lowered her voice, "I'm here to treat the general."

Qingzhu looked at Qian Duoduo, who was wrapped up tightly, with a puzzled expression. "We didn't call a doctor."

Qian Duoduo had already prepared her explanation: "I was sent by the Fifth Prince. I guarantee I can cure the general."

She spoke with unwavering confidence, but only she knew the insecurity she felt inside.

Qingzhu glanced at her and said, "You should go back. The general is resting now."

The messenger had just left when a doctor arrived. It was hard for him not to suspect that the lady was in disguise.

He looked at it carefully and felt that it looked familiar. Just as he was about to get closer to take a closer look, Qian Duoduo yelled and stopped him.

"Oh dear, please have mercy! The Fifth Prince said that if I can't cure the general, I should bring my head to see him."

Qian Duoduo quickly lowered her head, pretending to wipe away tears, and took the opportunity to cover her face.

Qingzhu didn't speak; there was no way he would let anyone in.

Seeing that Qingzhu remained unmoved, Qian Duoduo cried even louder.

"Heavens above! Why am I so unlucky..."

Qian Duoduo didn't try to lower her voice; instead, she cried even louder.

A crowd gradually gathered around the back gate of the general's mansion.

Qingzhu glanced at the doctor who stubbornly refused to leave, and then at the growing crowd.

He stomped his foot in anger, then turned and led Qian Duoduo inside.

Qian Duoduo had just entered and was about to go to Chu Xiaohuan's bedroom when Qingzhu called her back after she had only taken two steps.

Where is this doctor going?

Qian Duoduo thought she had been too ostentatious, so she turned around to explain to Qingzhu, but then she heard Qingzhu speak.

"follow me."

Qingzhu was worried that her howling outside would affect the general's reputation, but he would never allow her to see the general.

Qian Duoduo followed behind Qingzhu, and with each limp, they clearly arrived at the front hall.

Is the general here?

"The doctor will wait here; the general will be here shortly."

After saying that, Qingzhu left, as he still had to guard the general.

Although the general wouldn't let him in, he could still tell the general's condition from the doorway.

Qingzhu planned to have Qian Duoduo stay in the front hall for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before having her driven away.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Qingzhu even sent someone to guard the front hall and keep an eye on Qian Duoduo.

As Qian Duoduo watched Qingzhu leave, and with two servants standing at the door, she guessed that Qingzhu was just being perfunctory.

So, in front of the two servants, Qian Duoduo deliberately stretched.

"I'll take a nap first, and wake me up when the general arrives."

After saying that, Qian Duoduo closed the door, leaving the two servants looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Should we tell Qingzhu?"

One of them spoke up to ask, but the other shook his head, "As long as she doesn't come out, it's fine."

After listening through the crack in the door, Qian Duoduo jumped out the window with peace of mind.

What a joke! She's already home, how could she possibly be trapped?

Qian Duoduo followed the road, dodging and weaving, until she reached Chu Xiaohuan's bedroom.

He gently pushed open the window and scanned the room, but did not find Chu Xiaohuan.

Could it be in the study?

Qian Duoduo tiptoed to the study again. Just as she got to the study, she saw Qingzhu guarding the door.

Upon seeing the green bamboo, Qian Duoduo knew that Chu Xiaohuan was inside.

It's just a pity that Qingzhu will discover her if she moves from her current position.

Just as she was thinking about how to avoid Qingzhu's eyes and ears, she saw someone in the distance rush up to Qingzhu in a panic and say something to him.

Qingzhu glanced at the study and then followed the person away.

Although she was far away and couldn't see the person's face, Qian Duoduo figured from their clothing that the two servants must have discovered she was missing.

Without further hesitation, Qian Duoduo ran to the study door. Seeing that no one was outside, she slipped into the study.

Just as Qian Duoduo was about to turn around, "Clang—"

She quickly lifted her foot and looked down, only to see that the ground was covered with wine jars, leaving no place to step.

Qian Duoduo frowned and saw Chu Xiaohuan behind her, who was pouring alcohol for her, seemingly unaware that she had come in.
