Being General's Wife
Chapters 14. Fish Burn

After all the disguise preparations were ready Celine and Xixi walked sneaking out of the residence. Because inside his house there were not so many people and Xixi knew a shortcut, in an instant they had already reached outside the Marquis' house.

On the way, a flash of memory was present in Celine's mind. If not mistaken then today was the day of the meeting between Han Cya Lin and General Zhou's younger brother, Prince Zhang in the actual novel.

Celine silently stared in the middle of the road in shock, Xixi immediately pulled her to the nearest roadside and caught her attention.

"Young master, young master" Xixi said softly as she shook Celine's injured arm.

"Ishh" while grimacing Celine looked at Xixi. The questioning look Celine gave Xixi.

"The master was silently staring in the middle of the road, and then the servant pulled the Master here. What's up, sir? Is anyone sick?" Xixi examined her nona carefully.

"It's okay, I just remember a few things. Let's go to the kitchen spice section and get home soon" Celine said seriously.

Celine is serious. If there really was a meeting with Prince Zhang, then he's finished. The novel also mentions that General Zhou sent spies to follow him. Yanzhi and Yunzhi are in the residence. Who else is following him?

Celine rolled her eyes around. Of course Celine did not find anything because both General Zhou and Li Ping were high-level martial practitioners.

Suddenly,,,,

"Yahoo"

"Prince Zhang"

"Did prince Zhang buy koi carp?"

"So handsome, if I could get close"

"Royal guards please step aside a little"

"Let me take a closer look at my pujauu"

The cries of the girls were heard at the goldfish stand some distance away from where Celine was. The commotion caused the market situation a little splashy.

At the goldfish stand, Prince Zhang was seen with a few bodyguards that looked cruel and sadistic, making people not dare to approach.

After finishing buying the goldfish, Prince Zhang passed Celine and Xixi. Celine and Prince Zhang did not meet face to face at all. In contrast to the actual plot of the novel, where the meeting of Han Cya Lin and Prince Zhang before marriage was successfully used as a trigger for disputes between Han Cya Lin and General Zhou by General Zhao's future concubines.

'Haihhhh fortunately I disguised myself as a man, otherwise the fate of Han Cya Lin in the novel repeated itself' Celine thought.

"Let's go Xixi, we'll be home soon" Celine's sigh of relief caused a question mark on Xixi's head.

"Well miss" though she was worried about her non-existence but Xixi did not ask anything.

They rushed back to the Marquis' residence.

Arriving at Celine's residence immediately cooked the fish Yunzhi had bought, while the 4-month-old fish seeds were mixed in the pond with the General's fish. He promised to treat everyone grilled fish and he really kept his promise.

Everyone praised the Celine-made grilled fish. Its fragrant smell made everyone gulp down including General Zhou and Li Ping.

With a piercing look General Zhou looked at Celine in the kitchen. Feeling stared at by someone Celine immediately turned her head towards the big tree near the wall at the end of the residence. But only the night wind and darkness were visible.

Li Ping who saw the blood-ridden general immediately telepathically sent Yanzhi "May the Madam make one special grilled fish for Master. This day we followed the Madam and the General had not eaten at all. Seeing the mistress cooking even for her residence bodyguards infuriated Master greatly" cold sweat was seen dripping as Li Ping sent telepathy to Yanzhi.

After getting a reply from Yanzhi, Li Ping heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mrs, do you want to make grilled fish for the General?" Ask Yanzhi

"For what?" Celine frowned while asking. The grilled fish scene is not in the novel. Wouldn't there be any leverage if he suddenly sent the grilled fish to the General?

'May he not be angry with this excuse I made' Yanzhi thought.

"Is that so? Alright I'll make another new one" Celine who basically really likes to cook started picking up fish.

He picked up a larger fish, holding the fish's head in a cloth glove he had sewn himself a few days ago. In the condition of the fish is still alive chef Celine we cover the head of the fish with hands that wear gloves, then direct a sharp knife to the neck of the fish, so that it will break the fish throat channel/cut his breathing straight away.

"So the fish died immediately did not flounder again. This is in addition to making the fish more fresh because it is directly processed immediately after death, it also tastes sweeter and savory" Celine said during a demonstration in front of her three servants.

Without Celine knowing General Zhou had been sitting there (in the courtyard in front of a table arranged in such a way that is located near the kitchen) saw a demonstration. The general looked at Celine with a shady look.

"Then we remove the scales and the feces. Wash off, make a kerat on each side. Give lemon/lemon water, give a smooth spice (garlic, salt, onions, turmeric, chili, ginger and coriander). Let stand for a few moments until the seasoning seeps. Prepare the wire to burn. Use charcoal. Grease soy sauce and oil when burning. Keep the fire so as not to burn" break up Celine. Deftly every move amazes all who see.

"Your lady, you are so great" praised Xixi as she clapped her hands.

"True Madam, you are so great" Yunzhi also gave her praise.

"Thank you" Celine turned her head and her laughter instantly vanished replaced with an awkward gesture from seeing a stranger there.

Yes who else would the stranger be if not our General Zhou.

"I won't bother you. Go ahead" General Zhou sat quietly.

"Welcome General, please wait a moment, soon your grilled fish is ready" Celine replied clumsily.

"Good" General Zhou replied flatly.

'What do you think I'm the chef? Basic stiff man' Celine's mind was condensing small words.

Soon Yanzhi and Yunzhi helped kill some more fish. In a way like Celine did. Xixi helps prepare a seasoning sauce that has not been made by Celine.

"The sauce is on garlic, chili, onion, salt, mashed boiled button mushrooms, soy sauce, add hazelnut nuts, fry for a while on medium heat" Celine's instructions on Xixi.

Before long all the dishes are neatly arranged on the dining table. Not to forget there are also boiled radishes that are sliced long and also boiled asparagus.

"Please Your Majesty the General enjoy" Celine said respectfully.

"You accompany me" General Zhou nodded.

Celine sat at the end of the table opposite General Zhou. They eat in silence.

Celine really felt strange why the General could suddenly stop at his residence. For sure the Marquis did not know, considering this person and his bodyguards had come out of nowhere as well, Celine herself was unclear.

"Thank you for the food. You have talent" General Zhou praised sincerely.

"Thank you for the compliment General" Celine said as she lowered her head.

"In the future, please make it for me often. And my message is, a woman cannot go out often without a guard. Dangerous" the general said before leaving with Li Ping.

"Thank you Madam, my valiant servant" Li Ping disappeared with the General.

Celine was still sitting speechless in her chair trying to digest what had just happened. The general said a woman should not go out often without bodyguards.

'Deg!!!!!did he know I was out and undercover?????!!!!!!!!' celine's eyes glared in disbelief. This ability is a secret to himself. His trump card. How could the terrifying general know about it.

"Yahoooooo!!!!!"

Celine's screams made a scene in her residence.
