Eternal Love: The Most Pampered General's Wife
Chapter 4's

The reddish-orange-blooming maple leaves have now completely fallen off and fallen on the ground, only the trunk of the tree and its branches are visible still standing strong even though the beautiful crown that adorns it has fallen and become dry leaf litter. The air is cooling down because soon winter is coming and things are going to get colder and colder.

As usual jing mei sat back down on her favorite seat and lazily looked at the xin xin figure sweeping the front yard excitedly and carefully, when the girl realized that her young lady was watching her from inside the wide-open window, the young girl cheerfully raised her hand and waved her spirit. Jing mei slightly smiled faintly as she looked at the adorable manner of her young servant. Old mama zhi's voice slightly shifted her gaze.

“what's up, mama ??”, ask jing mei gently.

“nona, it looks like this old maid is going to go to the capital, will you be fine ??”, asked old mama zhi.

Jing Mei looked at old mama zhi with a blank look, she thought about what else the peacock women would do to her old mama. Last season, he secretly saw both the ankles and the hands of old mama Zhi reddened and bruised with purplish foreheads, his heart so sore but as if nothing had happened he could only be patient and endure it.

“it's okay, mama, beware”, said jing mei gently, she smiled faintly to the old man in front of her.

Old mama Zhi who saw a faint smile hanging on her pale young lady's lips felt very guilty, but she who was only a lowly servant had to obey the furen orders in their residence.

“mama, bring some of my jewelry and sell it, that's all I can give you”, said gentle jing mei.

Old mama Zhi who heard the words of her young miss was shocked at once moved, every season changed, her young miss had always done something that helped her and it weighed heavily on her old heart because the residence was so cruel to this unmarried young girl, she said, every season the furen li residence always gave some fragile and worn silver jewelry, and also the delivery of food supplies for the next season with poor quality and withered. If it were not for all the jewelry being sold back then it was possible that they would not have been able to last this long even for all the clothing materials the quality was no better than a slave belonging to the residence.

“maybe, soon the train will come, mama, be prepared”, jing said.

“well, miss, thank you, miss”, replied old mama zhi.

“en, be careful, mama”, said jing mei softly.

...

Jing Mei closed her bedroom window when she heard the sound of a horse carriage stopping in front of the entrance of the courtyard. From the small gap of the window that he accidentally closed tightly, he saw old mama zhi and xin xin who were hugging each other. But there was one thing that attracted attention was how the surprised expression of xin xin and also the sad face of old mama zhi who a while ago conversed with another mama.

What are they talking about, thought jing mei.

Xin Xin Xin stood in front of the carriage until it disappeared, she seemed to be in a hurry to close the entrance of the courtyard and lock it. The servant girl also pulled some wood and put it upside down behind the door, she was also seen frantically pulling out the remains of objects that could hold the door. Seeing that jiing mei was getting confused.

“xin er, what are you doing ??”, asked jing may. It was not far from the xin xin.

Xin xin who heard the voice of her young miss was shocked, she turned her head and her face looked so pale sweating.

“ah, xiaojie, come on, come on, we have to go inside, the air is getting colder and it is not good for you”, said xin er, his voice sounded nervous and slightly trembling.

... ...

Jing Mei just obeyed her servant, she entered her room and sat down. Not long after, a xin xin figure with a tray in his hand walked into jing mei's room.

One first bite, a sweet and fresh taste entered his sense of taste.

The next bite, for some reason there is another taste besides the usual mixture.

Jing mei took her tea and drank it.

“say, what are you doing”, ask jing may coldly.

Xin xin could no longer hold back her tears, the servant girl cried out loud and looked at her young miss with a guilty look.

“forgive me wwuuuu huhuhu.. young lady, mama, old mama zhi”, xin xin replied in fear.

It was the last thing jing Mei heard as her entire body felt numb and dark.

...                                                            

Zheng bai and the few people behind him moved quickly using the war horse they were currently riding on, a little more they would approach the village area. And as the day grew darker, they decided to stop for a while at the village inn.

But, there's one strange thing. The village that usually there are always some people and a walking cow cart is now deserted like a dead village. Right now they are on a road that is a little invisible if one does not walk towards them because some trees are blocking, he said, but in the current position of zheng bai who squinted his eyes and the people behind him could see there were some people in all-black clothes covering their bodies hiding behind bushes and trees when looking there was a man from the village passing by with his cow cart. And surprisingly, the man was killed by people dressed in black. Zheng bai held his hand as he sensed that chao gu was about to make a move but was late.

“they, there are many”, said zheng bai.

“but, what they did in this small village”, continued zheng bai coldly.

“sssttt”, hissing zheng bai.

“voice, your honor, there is sound”, said chao gu.

Zheng bai nodded, the soldier that zheng bai was carrying could also hear a soft sounding voice, very soft to be heard by the ears of ordinary people. The entire zheng bai warrior descended and moved quickly to find the origin of the sound, before how long they found an old woman whose body was filled with bloodstains as well as large wounds in some parts of her old body.

“daren, daren, to.please.. no..nona.. miss.. ugh.. miss. youngaku.. kedia..man..”, said old mama zhi who looks so dying.

“li.. daren.. ugh.. mo.. hon”, continued old mama zhu, and after that the old woman closed her eyes.

“commander, what are we going to do ??”, asked one of zheng bai's warriors.

“ignore and bury him well, whatever it may be we don't have to engage”, hiss zheng bai cold.

The soldiers of zheng bai and chao gu seemed to be in disbelief at what their commander said, but they also could not refuse the orders of their commander because it could also bring something else bad to them. It's better not to get in touch with each other.
