Being General's Wife
Chapters 12. Five days before the wedding

One day, Xixi rushed into Celine's room.

"Miss, concubine Yun and her daughter, the second young lady wants to see the lady. They were restrained in the courtyard by Yunzhi and the General's bodyguards. Yanzhi is shopping out. Can they just go in or be expelled?" Xixi anxiously said.

"Miss has ordered not to receive any guests. But they didn't even know they were breaking through here" Xixi said with an annoyed look.

"Tell them, I'm resting. I don't want to be bothered by their arrival. If they insist, you know what to do" Celine said lazily.

'It's still morning, why did concubine Yun and Han Lu Yu come? I was being lazy to serve them' Celine thought as she yawned again. He rolled over and continued his sleep for a while longer.

"Well, miss" Xixi smiled and went to do as Celine instructed.

In the past, she would be nervous and frightened when she heard the name of the second lady or concubine Yun. How they oppress nonanya. But it seemed that now he did not need to be afraid of them anymore.

At Celine residence gate ~~~~

"I'm sorry Concubine Yun, second miss, big lady is resting. Unable to meet you" Yunzhi blocked concubine Yun and Han Lu Yu from entering while bowing respectfully. The two gate guard guards aimed their spears at each of them closing the road in front of the two guests.

Concubine Yun and the second miss with some of her servants, were restrained in front of the gate of the Celine residence.

Gritting his teeth, Han Lu Yu advanced while shaking his waist. He grimaced, the lash scar on his back still hurt. Understandably, not a month has passed since the incident of his whipping (read chapter 5).

"How can we not enter? We just want to see him! So arrogant of him! Wait till I hear for sure he'll be punished!" Han Lu Yu was angry while shaking his waist.

The two General Guards guarding at the gate kept their positions. Blocking concubine Yun and her daughter from entering.

Xixi came running.

"I'm sorry, Consort Yun, second lady. The big lady is resting. His wounds still did not heal properly and the healer said the great miss should rest a lot. Sorry if you are welcome to return" Xixi said, bowing respectfully.

"She's already starting to get cocky mom, because she's going to be General Zhou's new wife she's daring to act. How dare he reject us. Let me go see if he's still sick or not!" Han Lu Yu's shouts and rude movements made the guards wary.

"Silent Lu Yu. It is impolite to act so in front of the General's bodyguards!" Concubine Yun said calmly even though inside her blood was already boiling.

"Because Lin'er's condition hasn't healed yet then we go back first! Waiter, give the ginseng soup a power booster for Lin'er. I purposely made a special for her" concubine Yun sent the waiter to give her the soup that had been prepared in advance.

"Tell Lin'er to drink it while it's warm" concubine Yun's message was to act as a good mother.

"Thank you, Consort Yun. I'll tell you" Xixi thanked.

After leaving Celine's residence, the mother and daughter pair walked towards Han Lu Yu's residence. They went into the room.

"Mother what should we do now? There are many guards there. It would be even harder to harm Celine and seize the position of the General's consort. I promised I would give that position to me if Celine died" Han Lu Yu sulked at his mother.

"Patience son, who knows his luck is so good. Even saved by the general himself. Yeah, at that time I hired a killer from Jiangnan. The new mother also finds out that the killer knows Celine and intends to kill her too. Sooner or later he will be killed even if not by us. Be patient" Smile appeared at the corner of Consort Yun's lips.

Recollected memories of when he went to the Pyohyo hall. This hall was a disguise for people who wanted to order assassins from Jiangnan. This place is also a place for information exchange. If you have a close relationship with this hall it is certain that your future is bright.

Unfortunately, the owner of this place is so mysterious. It was rumored that he was the sect head of such a powerful Jiangnan. But due to secluding himself from the hustle and bustle of the world, he chose to seclude himself.

At that time concubine Yun wore a disguise and face cover so that it was not easily recognized. She orders the killer to harm Celine even asking to specifically injure her face.

"While this be patient first, focus on healing the whip wound on your back. After that we just think about the next step" concubine Yun persuaded her daughter.

"Good mother" Han Lu Yu nodded with eyes still full of hatred.

Meanwhile in Celine~'s room

Xixi placed the soup from Consort Yun on the table. Celine who had just taken a shower and changed clothes approached the soup and put a needle in it. Slowly the silver needles began to blacken.

Celine sighed "Hhhhhhh. Throw away and wash the container immediately" Celine's orders sounded.

"Well miss" Xixi replied. He immediately carried out Celine's orders. On the way to the kitchen Xixi meets Yanzhi and Yunzhi.

"What is Xixi?" Ask Yunzhi.

"Food from concubine Yun and the second miss. There is poison so it must be thrown away" Xixi replied.

"Did they do it often?" Turn Yanzhi asked.

"Yes, they do it very often. Since the calamity fell from the tree, now the big lady is more careful, so it is no longer easy for them to harm the big lady" Xixi replied complacently.

Yunzhi and Yanzhi looked at each other and both nodded. They should report this to the General.

In the evening at the residence of General~~

A shadow appeared in front of the General. The shadow seemed to report something to General Zhou. It made General Zhou's face tense and wrinkled.

"They dared to bully my woman, but such a small quarrel she would definitely be able to handle it. If true, he has changed. Then investigate the Pyohyo hall. Keep an eye on the transactions there. And you say based on Xixi's words today that my future wife's change began right after she fell from the tree?" Ask General Zhou.

"Truly Master!" The shadow that turned out to be Yanzhi nodded respectfully.

"alright. Keep protecting and follow all his movements" General Zhou ordered again.

" Go ahead" after answering General Zhou's question, Yanzhi disappeared as quickly as he did.

General Zhou (after this let's call him Zhou Ming/Ming'er/General Zhou) smiled. She was looking forward to her wedding day. He continued to read the imperial documents that were still unfinished late into the night.
