After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 13.2

After a moment’s contemplation, he said indifferently, "Go find Meng Qianshan and receive punishment."

The maid hastened to salute him.

Jiang Suizhou found that the roomful of servants were silent and dared not make noise, so he thought his reprimand was useful. At least the people in this courtyard would no longer dare to bully Huo Wujiu easily anymore.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left.

He did what he had to do, and now, he was going to the study to enjoy a happy time without Huo Wujiu.

But he didn't see that after he left, the maid who was kneeling on the ground revealed a look of resignation.

Her name was Tao Zhi. His Highness originally thought highly of her in this room, and except for Meng Qianshan, she usually attended to His Highness.

She never imagined that His Highness would reprimand her for such a cripple, so it was quite humiliating.

However, although His Highness lectured her on such a big mistake, he did not punish her personally, so she assumed that her master still cherished her. He just happened to hear and so reprimanded her a bit.

She looked up and coldly glanced at Huo Wujiu.

It was all this cripple's fault.

Jiang Suizhou also did not see how cold Huo Wujiu’s eyes were hidden beneath his drooping eyelashes, as he sat in the corner.

When Jiang Suizhou walked out of the room, Huo Wujiu raised his eyes and gave him a cool, icy look.

He just thought King Jing was quite funny.

If King Jing wanted to send people to spy on him, he should just do it directly; why bother to pretend to defend him in front of him?

...He even put on a play, spending the night in front of my bed.

These actions were unnecessary.

Night had fallen, and it was time for dinner.

The King entered the study and dismissed everyone from the room, even Eunuch Qianshan was no exception, but this was nothing unusual. Usually, when the King was busy, he disliked disturbance from others.

Because there was now an additional master in the room, the kitchen still prepared the evening meal one after another, even when the King had not come out of the study.

In a short while, someone sent news.

“Two Sirs have invited His Highness to dinner, so His Highness isn’t going to eat in the house today,” a young servant reported.

Meng Qianshan was waiting outside the study room, so Tao Zhi had the final say in the room. The maids looked at her one after another. They saw her looking around, her eyes finally falling contemptuously on Huo Wujiu.

He was currently sitting under the window, reading a book in his hand.

"Then what are you still standing there for? Serve the meal." She said coldly. "His Highness is not going to eat in the house today, so do you want to starve the master in the room?"

The people around her did not dare to provoke her. At her order, they went about their business.

Seeing this, Sun Yuan, who was waiting next to Huo Wujiu, hurriedly stepped forward to push Huo Wujiu's wheelchair, leading him to the table.

Huo Wujiu didn't say anything, only put the book aside.

Only he knew how much he hated reading books.

Huo Wujiu grew up annoyed at the sight of words, so he either skipped class to ride horses in the barracks, or found ways to torment the teacher for fun. When he was around seven or eight years old, two teachers quit in a fury. Yangguan was remote, and it was difficult to find a teacher, so his father chased him angrily with a horse whip for a long time.

Even now, he had a headache after reading a book. But laughable as it might be, he couldn't do anything else now other than flip through the things that gave him headaches.

Huo Wujiu glanced at the book.

After Sun Yuan saw him put down his book, he pushed Huo Wujiu’s wheelchair to the table.

Several dishes were already laid out on the table, and Tao Zhi had also given the word earlier, so hot dishes were brought in one after another. The evening meal was very rich and exquisite because it was prepared with Jiang Suizhou in mind. The dishes were warm and appetizing under the bright lights.

Tao Zhi stood watching, her face as cold as frost.

She was born beautiful, and when she came to the royal residence, even the dealer said that she might become a concubine if she was lucky. Then she could rise from servant to master.

She climbed step by step to her present position, but did not realize that her master only liked men.

What was so great about men? Even if he was a man, Madam Gu was nothing more than that. Yet how could the tall and big cripple in front of her still get into her master's harem?!

Because of the disgrace Tao Zhi suffered this afternoon, she became more displeased the more she looked at Huo Wujiu.

What was the use of his beauty? What was the use of being a general? He was maimed and had to go to someone's harem to serve men, Tao Zhi thought with hatred.

Just then, a maid came with soup. When she crossed the threshold, she was careless and almost spilled it.

...Besides, His Highness was not here tonight.

Tao Zhi walked forward with a cold face and took the soup with one hand.

"Why are you so rash?" She gave the maid a cross look.

The maid apologized evenly.

But she saw Tao Zhi give her a glaring quick glance, and with the soup in her hand, she turned around and walked towards the table.

The next moment, she rather deliberately bumped into the table, and tipped the bowl of hot soup downward, pouring all the content onto Huo Wujiu's lap.
