Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Catching Fire

"Really?"

"Yes."

Auntie Tang’s breath sprayed on his face, and Doctor Wang, being a grown man, couldn’t help himself. He panted heavily and said with unstable breath, "Concubine, you shouldn’t be like this, it’s not good if others see us."

"What are you afraid of? Isn’t it just the two of us here?"

"Concubine, you shouldn’t be like this, the General is still in the residence!" Doctor Wang’s biggest worry was always this problem. What man doesn’t love a beauty? But when it concerns one’s life, the latter naturally becomes more important.

"Don’t mention him, he won’t come to me."

Mentioning this, Auntie Tang was filled with anger. Ever since a few months ago, Situ Yongjie no longer came to the Couple’s Courtyard. As a vivacious woman, she also needed a man’s care.

Auntie Tang clung to Doctor Wang’s body: "I want..."

"Don’t...don’t...! Concubine, the General is in the residence, we can’t keep this up."

Doctor Wang’s rational mind continuously reminded him that this was not okay. If he engaged with Auntie Tang today and General Situ found out, he would lose his head. However, the mind thinks one thing, while actions are another...

His hands uncontrollably tugged at Auntie Tang’s clothes.

At that moment, faint footsteps were heard from outside, but neither of them noticed, still eager to possess each other.

Outside the door.

A few maids were stationed not far away, careful not to disturb Auntie Tang and Doctor Wang’s affairs, and dared not get close.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from afar.

The maids turned their heads to look, their faces instantly changing color.

Situ Yongjie, with a few guards, slowly walked over from afar, chatting with the guards beside him, seemingly in a very good mood.

The maids immediately fell into panic. The General hadn’t visited the Couple’s Courtyard for a long time, and Auntie Tang complained every day about the General’s ruthlessness. Today Doctor Wang came, why did the General also come?

The maids whispered amongst themselves: "Oh no, the General is here, what should we do?"

"Yes, if he finds Doctor Wang in the inner room, Auntie Tang is doomed."

"Exactly, we’d better hurry in and notify the Concubine."

"Right, if Auntie Tang is unlucky, we servants will also suffer, hurry and inform her."

The maids came to their senses, quickly turning to notify Auntie Tang, but it was already too late. Situ Yongjie, with several guards, had reached them.

A few maids turned to sneak into the house.

Situ Yongjie’s authoritative voice rang out: "Where are you going? Come back here."

The maids’ footsteps immediately froze, turning around slowly with a look of panic and bowed: "Greetings, General!"

"Where are you rushing off to?"

The maids’ eyes darted around, stammering: "N-nothing..."

One of the more quick-witted maids quickly continued: "General, we were preparing to serve Auntie Tang inside, then you arrived."

She said, genuinely wanting to turn and enter the house to signal Auntie Tang.

Because she knew that the fate of maids is tied to that of their master. As the saying goes, all glory or all downfall together.

Their flustered expression aroused Situ Yongjie’s suspicion.

"Stop, come back to me," Situ Yongjie commanded sternly.

The maids trembled all over, immediately stopping, not daring to proceed, bending over with panic, and turned back: "What orders does the General have?"
