Being General's Wife
Chapter 3. Marketplaces

The next morning, Celine in men's clothes went to the market. Xixi also wears men's clothing. No one would have thought that the famous young lady who was arrogant, arrogant, and could not do anything would go to the market.

With a fat body, eyebrows thickened, slightly sprinkled with charcoal and given a large mole at the corner of the lips, no one would have thought that the fat young master was the great miss of the Marquis residence.

"The best honey here, black bee honey is an elixir"

"Thousands of years, for all diseases"

"High-grade pottery is sold here"

A lot of atmosphere. Many sellers sell their merchandise. Celine and her waitress walked up to the front of the seedling shop. They entered and were greeted by a white-bearded old man.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Can I help you?" Flat sweep.

"Let my Master take a look at Master first" Xixi replied politely.

Celine stepped into the store slowly. His eyes traced the names of the seedlings listed there. Many interesting plants that at the time were extinct.

'I'd better buy the plants I used to eat' Celine thought.

Selected some seeds of apple, orange, papaya, lotus and seeds of herbal plants such as ginger, basil, garlic, onion, coriander etc.

After being satisfied to choose, accompanied by Xixi brought her groceries, they paid to the store owner. The shopkeeper's gaze warmed to see how full Celine's basket was. When the shop is empty of buyers, it looks here a very good young man in choosing his goods.

After counting all of Celine's total groceries, the store owner slipped a white envelope containing the seeds to Celine. Questioningly Celine looked at the old man.

"That's a bonus for you, sir. No need to pay" he said with a shady look.

"Thank you" Celine replied.

Out of the seed shop, Celine went home. He headed straight for the vacant lot located behind his residence.

With the help of Xixi planted some of the seeds she bought today. He ignored Xixi's call, which reminded him of lunch. That's how Celine is if she's focused on something. I forget to eat.

Celine remembered the white envelope given from the old man, the owner of the seed shop. The seeds were found in a separate field that he had prepared earlier.

"I wonder what this seed is" Celine muttered curiously.

"Maybe after a few months you'll know what this seed is, or maybe how many years?" Celine was mumbling to herself.

By the afternoon their work was done. Celine stood up while moving her body muscles. He smiled with satisfaction.

"Kruyuuukkk"

The sound of hungry people is heard. Smiling embarrassedly Celine rubbed her stomach.

"Well, while I was patient with the porridge first for me to eat" he murmured.

"Is my bath water ready, Xixi?" Ask Celine.

"Already, miss" replied Xixi.

Celine is getting ready for the bathroom.

That night, Celine's residence received guests. He was none other than the younger brother of the original owner Han Lu Yu. Han Lu Yu was the son of Concubine Yun. Han Lu Yu used to be called the second lady. A memory appeared. It was seen that Han Lu Yu liked to oppress him. Like now. Looks like he'll be looking for trouble with Celine.

"As you can see, sister, my condition has improved. Thank you for your concern" Celine replied.

"How's the porridge the kitchen sent, brother? That's my advice based on a prescription from a healer and this is blood-boosting soup for your wounds to heal quickly" Han Lu Yu said.

"Thank you for the porridge. Very yummy. I won't be shaken". Answer Celine. Then Xixi took the soup from Han Lu Yu's servant's hand.

"By the way tomorrow General Zhou is home. Brother has no intention of welcoming her?" han Lu Yu asked curiously.

"Somehow, I see tomorrow" Celine replied briefly.

"Well good rest my beautiful brother" finally Han Lu Yu left with his servant.

"Miss, don't you go see the General tomorrow? Either way you're going to marry her" Xixi asked. His hands put the soup on the table.

"My wounds haven't healed properly. We better wait at the residence and wait for the next step" said Celine sage.

After all in the novel the meeting scene between the original owner and the General is in the palace. Why is Celine standing in the streets to welcome her to come like a commoner? And also Celine's condition does not allow to go out because of illness right? Celine is not ready to meet her childhood fiance.

Celine walked to the table. Put his needles into the soup. At the tip of the needle looks a little blackish mark.

"Miss, did Miss Lu Yu poison you again?" xixi was shocked when she saw the reaction of the soup on Celine's silver needle.

"Well, he put a little laxative on me. So that tomorrow I will humiliate myself even in this residence of mine" Celine's breath slowly.

He started grabbing and eating the Xixi-made porridge that was on the other side of the table slowly.

'Hmm good' Celine thought.

Xixi. How did the nonanya know if it was a laxative just from a blackened silver needle?

"How does Miss know if it's laxative?" Xixi voiced out what was on her mind.

"Ekhem,,,,, for 2 days I slept, I dreamed of meeting my mother and she told me the silver needle storage. My mom taught me a few things too. So I can guess the poison is it just from the discoloration on my silver needle" Celine explained the lie with a flat face.

A hint of guilt towards Xixi appeared in his heart. But that's the only explanation that feels right for now. Indeed he found the needle of the late mother Han Cya Lin in the closet a moment ago.

Xixi looked at her young lady in admiration. Now miss will not be poisoned as easily as before.

"Dispose it through the drains and wash the bowls" he ordered slowly.

"Well Miss" said Xixi.

A shadow appeared in Celine's mind. General Zhou. On the way home from the market, he heard a lot about her. How he fought valiantly to defend the country. His actions were cruel and indiscriminate. His sword skills are great.

Then many regretted how could such a great General marry such a bad, fat woman, and nothing from the residence of the Marquis. The fat woman was even very arrogant to say that she did not want to marry the great General Zhou and instead targeted General Zhou's younger brother, Prince Zhang. That information was new to Celine. And he doesn't bother to take care of unnecessary things. So he decided he'd be at the residence tomorrow.

The next day Celine's sleep was interrupted with a bang and Xixi's screams. With half-closed eyes Celine yawned and sat down slowly.

"Miss, miss mrs. General Zhou and his troops will be coming to the Marquis' residence soon" Xixi shouted as she opened the door of her room.

"What!!!" celine's eyes immediately widened perfectly.
