Chapter 201: Chapter 153

“Silly girl, why would I ever leave you?”

Chunyu held Molan’s hand: “I will always remember the day I woke up after submitting the petition and saw you and the nursemaid.”

“On that day, I thought I was surely doomed, and I undertook the task with the mindset of seeking a new life from certain death, but heaven didn’t take my life, allowing me to wake and see you all.”

Seeing each of you with swollen red eyes, crying your hearts out, and then the elation when I awoke, it’s something I’ve never been able to forget.”

“Life is better now, it’s not that I don’t want you, but I can’t live without you.”

“Then I won’t marry, and I will serve you forever.”

“Silly girl, you can serve me forever, but you mustn’t remain unmarried.” Chunyu felt a pang of sorrow for her loyal maids: “You must have your own husbands, your own children, your own home, your own kin.”

“I consider Miss to be my family.”

“Indeed, we are forever family, we are sisters,” Chunyu said, “I, as your elder sister, wish even more to see you happy.”

“Can marriage really bring happiness?”

Molan looked at Xiao Chunyu, hesitant to speak.

Back then, Miss, you were full of joy when you donned your wedding attire and climbed onto the grand sedan, but what did you gain from marrying into the Wu family?

You nearly lost both your lives there!

The dowry was all swallowed up, and you were forced to leave empty-handed with the young lady just a month old.

“If you marry the right person, you can be happy.” Chunyu understood what she was trying to say: “Some things can just be seen as a bad dream; once you wake, everything can return to normal.”

“That’s true indeed,” Jian Lan said, “Look how happy Madam is now. The General truly treats her well.”

Compared to the surname Wu, it’s like heaven and earth.

Speaking of the General, Xiao Chunyu thought of the inner garment she was still sewing.

“You two should ponder what kind of husbands you want to marry. If you fancy someone, let me know, and I’ll ask the General to give you advice. If he approves, you can marry,” Chunyu said, “I’ll go finish sewing the inner garment now.”

“Yes, Madam.”

The two maids blushed, feeling very happy and sweet.

Madam is happy; she now has time to consider their lifelong matters, how wonderful!

As Chunyu sewed the inner garment, she thought about Xia Guangcheng, her lips curling up, with a blush spreading across her face.

He’s truly wonderful, so good that she sometimes doubts if she’s dreaming.

Gentle, considerate, giving a strong sense of security. No matter what difficulties she faces, in front of him, they are nothing.

He would tell her: “It’s okay, it’s not that you’re incompetent, it was an unexpected incident, and unexpected incidents are beyond your control; it’s okay, it’s nothing, I’m here; for small matters, you can be as carefree, for big matters, lean on me…”

She once endured so much mistreatment at the Wu family, even her husband’s stepmother dared to vent anger on her.

She had been very worried the second-ranked Mrs. Xia would embarrass her, but who knew the General had already squashed any such attempts.

No clashes between in-laws, loving couples, obedient children… there’re still thriving businesses. Is it time to proceed to the next goal?

Xiao Chunyu thought of her relatives in Northern Desert and Shu City, well, forget Northern Desert, can the ones from Shu City return to the Capital ahead of schedule?

Then she thought, realizing it was impossible, shaking her head, there’s no hurry, good things come not instantly, right?

Suddenly her finger was pricked by a needle, and a bead of blood oozed out quickly.

“Ouch,” Chunyu couldn’t help but exclaim.

“What happened?”

The man’s tall figure suddenly enveloped her, grabbing her finger and immediately placing it in his mouth.

“You…” Chunyu was stunned, his action was so swift, it made her blush instantly.

“Why are you sewing again? Aren’t there enough embroiderers in the mansion?” Xia Guangcheng couldn’t stand seeing her toil: “Your health is frail, doing needlework strains the eyes; instead of idling, better take a walk outside.”

“How could this garment be sewn by the embroiderers?” Chunyu shyly retrieved her hand, picked up the inner garment, and sized it against him: “Is it okay?”

“You made this for me?”

“What do you think?”

“It’s okay, definitely okay, even if I can’t wear it, it’s still okay.”

This man’s mouth really knows how to flatter.

Can you believe such unreasonable words from a legendary General of Great Xia?

“You’re just coaxing me.” Chunyu felt shy: “Mother took Panpan to the manor; she said that her dowry estate is warm in winter and cool in summer, and told the General to take me there during his rest days.”

“We’re not going,” Xia Guangcheng held her close: “With Mother and Panpan there, what fun could we possibly have?”

Fun?

“Pack up, tomorrow I’ll take you somewhere.”

“Where to?”

“It’s a secret.”

This man…

Chunyu really likes him more and more, despite being so busy, he always finds time to care for her emotions and feelings, often taking her out.

For shopping, excursions, or retreats to the manor… He said he would surely do his best to fulfill wherever she wished to go.

Chunyu seemed to mention wanting to go to Shu City.

Of course, this is just a wishful thought.

If the General isn’t in the Capital, he can only go to one place: the frontier.

Otherwise, going elsewhere would mean neglecting duties, especially for a General holding military power, it would be highly dangerous and could lead to grave consequences.

Now the General has returned, Xiao Chunyu naturally couldn’t continue sewing the inner garment, and don’t ask why; the explanation is the General won’t allow it.

“Madam has worked hard, let me take good care of you.”

Ultimately, she lay limp in bed, while someone remained lively and tried to please her.

This nonsense in broad daylight seemed disgraceful to Xiao Chunyu, yet she was led astray by the General.

“Madam, a letter from Shu City has arrived.”

In her muddled sleep, Chunyu seemed to hear Molan’s voice, but she couldn’t open her eyes, turning over she fell asleep again.

When she awoke once more, it was from hunger pangs, and the room was filled with the aroma of food.

“Madam has awakened.” A large face gazed at her with an immeasurable clarity.

“General…” Xiao Chunyu hesitated, recalling the absurdity of the day, realizing it was night already.

“Hungry?”

“Mm.”

Xiao Chunyu shyly nodded, mainly couldn’t hide the “growling” from the General’s ears.

“I’ve asked the kitchen to make your favorite dishes; come, I’ll feed you.”

“No need, I can do it myself.”

“Here, let your husband feed you.”

Xiao Chunyu… far from expecting a General of his age would tend to be so gentle; she couldn’t refuse at all.

The two fed each other bite by bite until noticing Molan outside the courtyard gate, craning up her head until her neck hurt.

She really wanted to know what had settled Madam so calmly; in the past hearing news from Shu City used to excite her, yet now no buzz has surfaced; it’s abnormal, completely abnormal!
