Being General's Wife

Chapter 28. Dodder

Back to Grandma's tea hall.

They all returned to the main hall at the grandmother's residence waiting for Mr. Bo to come pick up his son. Zhou Ming sat back in his original place. Guests who still want to know how the drama ended are still loyal to their place.

"I apologize Your Majesty for having to witness such a humiliating incident" the Marquis approached Zhou Ming and apologized to Zhou Ming.

"It's okay" Zhou Ming said shortly as he sipped his green tea.

Moments later came Mr. Bo with some of his servants. He clenched his hands together as an apology and approached his eldest son. 

"You b\*n\*\*\*\*g. How dare you do something like that!" Mr. Bo also beat up the boy.

"It is to the detriment of the Marquis' third miss, I assure you this child will be responsible for marrying the third miss of the Marquis's residence!" Master Bo said to the Marquis.

Such a shameful thing. But Mr. Bo is also grateful that finally his oldest son was married too. He will try to make this marriage run smoothly and smoothly.

Hearing that, Han Sheng Yi began to cry loudly 'This is not what I expected. Why do it have to be like this!' 

After the two families agreed and agreed on some things, it was finally decided that their marriage would take place a month later.

Around midnight in Celine's room, a shadow was present. Celine vigilantly sat down on the bed. The shadow was Yanzhi who reported all the events he had seen earlier in the tea hall.

Celine contemplates. It turned out that the rumour that recounted that the ruthless general Zhou was not a figment of the thumb. Even Han Sheng Yi's servant who was left in the forest also endured a tongue-in-cheek sentence for the rest of his life. Shudder in horror Celine imagined if it happened to her.

"Then what is the situation and condition of my mother's room? Is anyone there to stand guard?" Celine asked directly to the next investigation she assigned to Yanzhi.

"In response, miss, routine patrols are conducted every night, soon the right time if the Madam wants to go there" Yanzhi replied.

"Where is Zhou Ming? Is he not back?" Celine asked miserably. If her husband returns when she is not in the room let alone midnight, surely the punishment is not light.

"Master is in the study room together with the Marquis" Yanzhi replied again.

"Well, maybe now is the right time. Opportunity will not come twice. Yanzhi quickly help me prepare" Celine said excitedly.

Soon Celine was wearing a black suit to get into her late mother's room. With a pounding heart Celine looked forward to what she might be able to find.

With slow but fast steps Celine and Yanzhi walked quietly through the dark of the night.

A few of Zhou Ming's bodyguards, were initially wary, but once they knew that it was the empress, then their vigilance was replaced with curiosity. They were just watching the empress' every move.

Han Cya Lin's mother's residence was on the west side of the main hall. About 300 meters from Celine's residence. After passing through the main hall then Celine could see Han's mother Cya Lin's residence.

"Jiu's residence" as written on the front gate of the residence.

The writing is still neat. Celine and Yanzhi entered through the roof. Lucky Celine can already 'science lighten the body' a little. So he could jump following Yanzhi's movements.

Entering the residence of her late mother, Celine saw some peach trees that began to bloom. The pool is not filled but is still well maintained. Well-trimmed grass plants. It seemed that both the grandmother and the Marquis were very fond of Han Cya Lin's mother. Evidently with the care of this residence even though the owner has died a long time ago.

Yanzhi saw his Madam was about to enter through the door. Yanzhi's hand involuntarily gave a cue that they were about to climb onto the roof. It is safer because if the door that has rusty hinges is opened, worry will cause noise. Celine thought for a while and nodded in response that they were going to ride through the roof. With bntuan Yanzhi Celine up to the roof. On the roof Yanzhi prying some tiles with no sound so that they can enter the house.

Inside Celine's house was getting used to a darker situation than outside earlier. After a while, Celine's noble eyes got used to the darkness in her mother's house. Without waiting for a long time Celine immediately gave Yanzhi the task of searching in every corner of the house.

With a quick movement the two of them combed to all corners of the room. Tapping on the walls, floors, cabinets, all the furniture they also check.

Suddenly Celine was happy. Celine's hand touching into the edge of her late mother's mattress felt a fleeting difference. Doubtful, Celine repeated, touching the source of the discrepancy. Celine slowly pressed that very delicate little button.

"Click" the subtle sound of something open is heard. Celine patiently searched for the source of the thing. His hands fumbled again and finally found a crack that became some kind of storage space. Celine carefully pulled out the box. The silhouette of a small wooden box measures 3x2x10cm. Feeling pleased with what she found Celine immediately put the box in her pocket.

After two hours they searched for Celine feeling that her time was enough. Celine then gestured to immediately leave the residence. It seems that Yanzhi also found something. Later if at the residence they will see what they find.

As Celine and Yanzhi changed into all-black clothes to sneak into the house of Han's late mother Cya Lin, Zhou Ming's shadow bodyguard informed the General.

Zhou Ming who heard the report frowned 'why did he do all that secretly? Why not just go straight during the day. Doesn't he want anyone to know what he's doing? The people of the Marquis residence or even me, her own husband? The more attractive my wife's smile appeared on Zhou Ming's thin lips.

The Marquis who saw this felt that the mood of his 'former' was very good. He was smiling.

"Well, maybe the General wants to rest first?" Ask Marquis.

"No, let's continue for a while longer" Zhou Ming replied.

Back to Celine's room

Arriving inside the room, Celine immediately took out a black box from behind her pocket. Yanzhi also handed over a small box that seemed to contain the valuables of late Han's mother Cya Lin. With Yanzhi's help, Celine immediately opened up all her disguises (black clothes). The shirt was then taken away by Yanzhi.

Celine immediately kept all those items intending to check them out tomorrow. Celine was worried that Zhou Ming would be coming soon.

And it's true. Not 5 minutes (modern times) Celine hid her belongings, the door was open.

"Kreeek"
