Being General's Wife
Chapter 34. Puncture Konde

After feeling his wife was quite full, Zhou Ming placed his chopsticks on the table.

"After this we announce our retreat from Grandma, Father-in-law" Zhou Ming said as he nodded.

"Alright, if that's His Majesty's wish. If in the future the Prince and the Crown Princess wish to visit here, the door of our residence always welcomes the arrival of His Majesty" the Marquis said respectfully.

On the way to the gate of the Marquis' Residence, the grandmother gave some more advice to Celine. Of course like respect and obedience there is a husband, love to family etc. Grandma grabbed and squeezed Celine's hand, as if strengthening Celine in her new household. Celine nodded her head in understanding.

"Don't worry grandma, Celine remembers everything. Take care of grandma's health, dad too. You all are too. Thank you for everything" Celine said as she hugged her grandmother.

Celine's embrace was warmly welcomed by Grandma. All who saw looked frowned. Celine's treatment looked unnatural because no one had done that in those days.

"Ekhem,,,," Zhou Ming coughed immediately to Celine's senses. He soon realized his mistake.

"The princess remembered the late mother, so I hugged you Grandma, forgive Lin'er's attitude" Celine said subtly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Grandma understands. Take care of yourself" Grandma said.

Celine nodded. Then with the help of her husband Celine got into the horse carriage. The remaining items were transported into the carriage.

Travel to the residence of the Crown Prince approximately 4 km (if based on modern calculations). The extremely sleepy Celine instantly fell asleep inside the carriage.

A while later Zhou Ming tried to see Celine's condition. He pointed his horse near Celine's carriage. Open the train window. Celine was sleeping in a sitting position.

'Hehh,, sleeping in that position could he?' smiling slightly and raising his eyebrows Zhou Ming shook his head at his wife's behavior. He flew into the car. Grabbing Celine and laying her on her lap. While his favorite white horse was taken care of by Li Ping.

Zhou Ming stroked Celine's cheeks affectionately. A moment later came Celine's voice.

"Mother,, father, when you come back" Celine's voice was more like a whisper.

Zhou Ming frowned.  Try to hear more clearly Celine's words. But Celine's mouth was tightly closed not saying any more words.

Zhou Ming was fixated as he looked at his wife's sleeping face. What he heard a few days ago is true. But why did Celine sound so sad in calling her parents? It's natural to miss his late mother, but didn't he just meet his father? The marquis? 

Zhou Ming pondered. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. Recalling Yanzhi's report a few days ago that said that Han Cya Lin's change began since the great miss of the Han residence had fallen from a tree (read chapter 11). It flashed across Han Cya Lin's mind before falling from the tree was extremely stupid, careless and arrogant, but after falling from the tree Han Cya Lin was calmer and smarter. Like two different people. And these few nights, Han Cya Lin said about things that she did not understand at all. It seemed that if his achievements would be delirious like this.

'My wife, I want to know more and more about you' Inner Zhou Ming as he kissed his wife's forehead. Celine only changed her position slightly feeling Zhou Ming's touch. Silence sweeps the night. There was a roar of horse footsteps that moved slowly through the night.

The General's residence

The horse carriage stopped in front of the gate. The three maids immediately got off the carriage and intended to help their Madam get off the carriage. The movement of the three halted as the carriage door opened and Zhou Ming appeared to descend slowly while holding his wife.

Zhou Ming immediately headed to his room. His wife slowly put him on the bed. The door to his room closed slowly. After taking off his outer robe and Celine outer robe, Zhou Ming laid himself beside his wife's body.

Hugging and kissing the tops of his wife Zhou Ming began to lulch into dreamland.

Next day. Celine wakes up when the sun is high enough. Zhou Ming was no longer beside him. And of course Celine's clothes were as messy as ever. Her husband became a new routine for Celine. Her face flushed. It feels so shameful. Finally he just sighed. Try to calm down and prepare yourself for bigger things to happen. Especially if it is not the husband who billed his wife's promise to have sex with husband and wife? Isn't the relic of late Han's mother Cya Lin already found. 

Celine held her head with both hands and lowered her lethargy. Well what will happen will happen.

'Now you have to know first what kind of thing is that my mother's identifying mark' Celine's inner self tries to strengthen herself.

"Tok,, tok,, tok, tok," came the sound of the door being knocked and came the three Celine servants to help her bathe, dress up and have breakfast.

After finishing eating, bathing and dressing up, Celine sat down in front of the dressing table. He noticed a bundle of cream color in front of him. Slowly Celine's hand began to open the cloth. It has a yellow box inside. Celine watched the box before trying to open it slowly. There is a mechanism that makes the yellow box can not be opened easily. Celine looked at and researched the entire box. Tapping and noticing every little change. After struggling with the box for 2 hours, Celine was finally able to open it.

Inside the box, there was a yellow velvet cloth wrapped around a konde skewer. Celine took the konde skewer. Konde skewers form blue flowers and butterflies are a beautiful blend of yellow, red, and black. There were 6 small strands of white pearls decorating it. At the end of the skewer there is a small yellow bead that will not be visible if not considered carefully. Celine pressed the bead and,

"Sraat" a sharp object sounded.

A small sword appeared along the index. In awe Celine noticed that thing. He tried to use it. Looks like this konde skewer can be used as a weapon as well. Because of this, this identifier was kept very secret by Han's late mother Cya Lin. After being satisfied Celine pressed the little yellow bead again and,

"Sraat" this time a thick knife-like object with a slightly jagged edge. Celine can immediately imagine what this small object is for, in lieu of her fruit knife (wkwkwkwkwk).

A slight smile appeared on Celine's lips. By pressing the small yellow bead the third time the konde skewer back to its original shape. Celine watched the konde puncture closely again. In one of the 9th petals there is the inscription Jiu Yin. The writing will be faintly visible if directed to the sun. It turns out that it is a very meaningful relic.

With a happy and satisfied heart Celine returned the konde stitch back to her box, then she walked towards her wardrobe. Intend to keep it there.
