Being General's Wife

Chapter 29. Caught

Suddenly the door opened slowly. Celine who had previously sensed the presence of someone immediately pretended to sleep. His position that turned his back to the door could not see clearly who was coming. But from the characteristic footsteps that sounded, Celine was certain it was Zhou Ming. Her husband, who always had a successful arrival, made Celine's heart beat faster than usual.

Zhou Ming closed the door slowly. She saw that Celine was sleeping while looking back at her.

'Is he sleeping or pretending to be asleep? What an attractive cute wife I have a smile on Zhou Ming's lips. His eyes looked at Celine in the shade.

'What was she really looking for in her mother's room? Has he found her? Why hasn't he been looking for her?' Zhou Ming sat on the edge of the bed thinking.

His eyes remained staring and investigating Celine. As a martial arts practitioner Zhou Ming could hear and see in the darkness. His eyes were more watchful than ordinary people. Zhou Ming was able to hear his wife's heartbeat racing quickly. Which indicates the owner is nervous. Zhou Ming could also see sweat dripping one after another on Celine's forehead.

'Heh it turns out my wife hasn't slept' he thought with a small laugh.

Celine's body grew stiff hearing her husband chuckle.

'Oh no, he realized I was pretending to be asleep. What should I do?' celine thought in panic.

Zhou Ming slowly laid himself beside Celine. His hand grabbed Celine's stiff body into his embrace. Zhou Ming slowly nodded at Celine's head.

'Calm Celine, you need to calm down, take a deep breath slowly. Slowly. Calm down' Self-motivated Celine further closed her eyes.

"My wife, are you asleep? What exactly were you looking for in your late mother's room?" Zhou Ming asked.

Celine was silent, 'I won't be provoked to speak. I was tired and sleepy, ' he said.

Zhou Ming sighed. Maybe his wife hasn't been open to him. Zhou Ming would be waiting for him. His embrace is getting stronger. And finally they both fell asleep together until morning.

The next morning Celine woke up earlier than usual. His mind that wanted to immediately open the results of his discovery with Yanzhi made his sleep unsettled.

Celine opened her eyes slowly. He found a heavy object in his stomach. Celine surprised. His head turned slightly and found Zhou Ming's handsome face there. Fortunately, he did not scream. If not, it will be a scene in the Marquis' residence.

Celine twisted her body slowly. His position was now facing Zhou Ming. He could see Zhou Ming's handsome face. White leather. Thick eyebrows form the number one. Long eyelashes. Puffed nose. Ordinary thin lips. His dark hair that was curled up was unraveling.

'Well I married a handsome 2D figure' Celine smiled involuntarily. His hand tried to stroke Zhou Ming's cheek. His hands were moved in the air when,

"Happy to see and admire the handsome face of your husband hhhmmm?" Suddenly a low and hoarse voice sounded.

Celine surprised. He immediately pretended to be back to sleep. He held his eyes tight. His hand immediately went back to silence on Zhou Ming's chest.

Zhou Ming slowly opened his eyes, displaying a glare of sharp eyes like an eagle. He chuckled softly at his wife's papah. 

"Don't want to look again, pretending to be asleep? Wake up my wife, otherwise I will eat you now" Zhou Ming threatened.

The threat made Celine open her eyes. Lips pouting.

"I'm not pretending to be asleep" Celine replied.

"Then what did you do before, hhmmm?" Ask Zhou Ming.

"Just look at my husband's handsome face" Celine answered honestly.

'Heh interesting. His words were extremely honest' Inner Zhou Ming.

"So, does that mean my wife is ready to give the Emperor a grandchild?" Tempted Zhou Ming as he looked at Celine witfully. 

Celine's eyes bulged. Immediately she tried to escape from her husband's embrace. Zhou Ming's embrace was like steel. Trying as hard as Celine can't free herself. Eventually Celine gave up, changing tactics. Negotiating.

"My husband is the great and handsome General Zhou, we are not so familiar yet. Can you wait a little more time?" Celine said with a look of compassion.

"Why?" Zhou Ming asked as he looked at his wife wittyly.

"My mother told me in my dreams. He gave me an object that was not clearly visible in the dream. In order for the spirit of my late mother to calm down I must be able to find her" Celine replied.

"So you mean last night you and Yanzhi went to sneak into your late mother's room, to find some clue? And once it's found out we can do it?" Zhou Ming asked while thinking.

"Ahhhh,,,, you know!" Celine glared in disbelief. One of his hands covered his mouth.

'How stupid of me. Obviously he knew all my gestures, he was General Zhou the Great' Celine laughing at herself inwardly. She nodded in response to her husband's question.

"Alright let me help you find him. To be discovered sooner" Zhou Ming broke up later.

"Can't be my husband, that stuff should be me finding it myself" Celine forbade in a panic.

'If with Zhou Ming's help it would definitely be easier to find and surely he would charge Celine's inner promise of chaos.

"In my dream, my late mother said so" Celine said with great emphasis.

"Alright if that's what you want, I will wait for you" Zhou Ming said as he peeked at Celine's head.

"All right, I have to go to court right away. Where's my present this morning?" Zhou Ming asked back.

"Gift,, what gift?" Celine asked back. His forehead is a sign of thinking.

"Cup" with an anxious and quick movement, Zhou Ming kissed Celine's left cheek suddenly. Following which with a quick movement Zhou Ming went out of the room.

Celine who was shocked by Zhou Ming's sudden movements fumbled a kiss on his cheek involuntarily. And then he started screaming,

"Aaahhhhhhhh,,,,,"

'I was taken advantage of again, I was persecuted in the novel world huhuhu' Celine's lamentations.

"Tok,,, tok,, tok,,,,"

Before long the three servants came to bring breakfast, change clothes and equipment 'make up' Celine. As usual the three maids looked like they were holding back a smile seeing their mistress dumbstruck on the bed with a look of annoyed, desperate, misguided and helpless face. Surely their Master had managed to tempt their Madam.

Celine seemed resigned to her fate. He will try his best to live in this novel world. Especially for the sake of his crops that would soon bring forth results for him. 

After finishing breakfast and changing clothes, the three maids immediately withdrew to do their other duties. 

Celine immediately opened the findings last night. He took the wooden box he had hidden under his mattress. It was a careless place but according to Celine it was a safe place (author patted the eel). There was a small wooden box there. The box cannot be opened. But since Celine had read too many detective stories in her day, that little problem could be solved easily. 

"Cloth"

The sound of an open box sounded slow. Celine opened the box slowly and carefully.  Inside the box were papers that had started to turn yellow. On it was a writing that looked familiar to Celine. It turned out that the paper was a letter from Jiu Yin, the late mother of Han Cya Lin.
