Being General's Wife
Chapter 4. General Zhou

Celine was fully awake. Not feeling sleepy anymore.

'What the fuck. It doesn't seem right. I clearly remember that this scene does not exist. Did someone trigger it?' Celine contemplates.

'Was my departure to the market yesterday the trigger? As I recall in the novel there was no scene to the market, but since I was free and there was a vacant lot in my yard, I wanted to make use of the vacant land. Hhhh...... All right come face it' break up Celine.

"Quick Miss, General Zhou and his troops will arrive in 1 hour" Xixi began to panic at the sight of her young miss just silently peeking on the bed.

"Calm Xixi. Bring me a basin of water. I want to wash my face. And I'm in pain. What hope will be made in welcoming the general?" celine said calmly.

"But she is the future husband of miss" Xixi started to panic again.

"Yes, the future husband who visits the sick wife-to-be is very noble. Even he took the initiative to come to see me instead of reporting to the Emperor. How does he know I'm sick if it's not the residence that told him? There must be someone from the residence who wants me to do harm. And this General Zhou must want to see my sincerity" Celine said as she cleaned herself up.

"Bring me clean clothes. And please bring makeup and bandages here!" celine's orders.

Deftly Celine put on her face with pale makeup. Then change the bandage on his head and add some red color there. Celine's diverse talents including in makeup make-up made her able to enter in a theatrical group on her campus. But most Celine just make up. He rarely takes on the role.

Xixi who saw her young lady so adept and deft in applying the tools 'make up' looked at her nonanya with admiration. Xixi stood to the side, looking at her nonanya calmly.

'How can the news of my illness reach the General who will report to the palace. And could it be that General Zhou came here and did not report to the Emperor first? Doesn't this want to kill me? General Zhou seemed to love me very much but actually also used me as his shield not to meet the Emperor. But who would dare to fight it. As the favorite of the Emperor and the crown prince, he was the ruthless General Zhou. Alright. We went through this scene first' Celine thought deeply.

Some time later Celine's makeup was ready. Celine chose a simple but elegant dress to meet the General. Celine was wearing that shirt with Xixi's help.

Inside the hall

"Grandmother's respect, father's respect" Celine walked with Xixi's help before the elders. All the family members were there.

"Wake up.." Grandma's voice was heard, but before grandmother's words were finished, at lightning speed a glass was thrown.

"Rabourn" 

The sound of a glass hitting the floor was heard. The glass was thrown right at Celine's feet. Luckily Celine was able to dodge so that her legs were only slightly affected by the broken glass.

"Miss" Xixi frantically pulled Celine who looked silent from shock.

"This is what you did to attract General Zhou to come here instead of visiting the Emperor first?" The marquis stood up, visibly emotional, with breaths of gasping.

"Are you doing this to behead our whole family?" the Marquis's loud voice, caused Celine to be reminded of OSIS' sister back in time. Before he could argue, there was a scream from outside.....

"General Zhou arrived" the announcement from the General's subordinate echoed at the entrance of the hall.

"Hail Your Majesty" a voice sounded.

A man in his early 20s wearing a black robe with purple ornaments seemed to walk into the room. His face was wearing a thin silver mask that left only a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle. I clearly don't know what his face looks like. 

"Deg" Celine's eyes were rubbed with the eyes of the domineering General. Celine's body trembled slightly. From that fleeting glance Celine could see this man was the dominant type of man. His aura was dark and dignified. Even tends to be scary. Perhaps because from the age of 10 he had already been sent to the battlefield, making a dense killing aura also follow him. That's why he was called the great General Zhou. Celine was a bit scared by his aura.

Sitting in the main seat, the General's voice sounded "Wake up".

(For further General Zhou\=Zhou Ming)

Zhao Ming's eyes circled the room. In the middle of the room was a fat girl with a bandage on her head. A little blood was visible there. Face pale. On the floor near his feet was a broken glass that had not been cleaned. It seems like right before she came the girl was under pressure from her father.

"Marquis what happened? I heard something happen to Lin'er, so I immediately rushed here" a sharp and cold voice sounded.

"Please, Your Majesty, 3 days ago Lin'er fell from a tree while trying to catch a bird. This caused Lin'er to slightly lose his memory. But his condition has improved. Tomorrow for sure he can face the palace" the Marquis replied politely.

Celine glanced over and saw sweat dripping down her father's forehead. In order to protect the residence, the Marquis did spread such a story. Covering up the real truth.

"Is that right, Lin'er?" A low and hoarse voice sounded again.

Celine was startled which caused her to look up and stare at the pair of deep sharp eyes, as if knowing everything. Celine's brain is spinning fast. He immediately lowered his head and replied cautiously.

"For Your Majesty. The servant only expresses the longing of the servant by telling the bird on the branch. How I admire and pray for the victory and salvation of His Majesty in war. But who would have thought, the sound of someone's fart startled the servant causing the servant to fall from the tree" Celine replied slowly seriously.

"Group"

General Zhou's bodyguard Li Ping chuckled stifledly at the behavior of his fiancee since General's childhood. Zhou Ming's sharp glances stopped him.

From behind Han Lu Yu charged forward interjecting, "That's not right Your Majesty, big brother went up to the tree and said fulgar things even saying he didn't want to marry you, he was struck by lightning and fell from a tree. The proof of the hair on the sister's head being cut off was uneven, there was even a slight charred smell there".

"Brakkkkk" the sound of the table splitting next to Zhao Ming's chair sounded.

Although Zhao Ming did not love the original owner, but he appreciated their marriage. In the book it was written that the prideful attitude of the original owner who felt loved by Zhao Ming and acted as he pleased, thus causing his death. Zhao Ming valued marriage because it was given by his late mother. Han Lu Yu's answer wouldn't it cause Celine to die sooner? Even before the wedding?
