Being General's Wife

Chapters 37. Open and Trusting Each Other (2)

After she finished eating and put down her cutlery, Celine ventured into her husband's eyes. But Celine was at a loss for words. They stared long enough. Zhou Ming smiled gently.

'Uuuugggh' was not strong it felt like being stared at continuously like this. Celine was embarrassed.

"Speak up" Zhou Ming persuaded as he lifted Celine's chin.

Celine sighed and regulated her crazy heartbeat from Zhou Ming's smile. Celine started telling stories. At first he told me about the old Han Cya Lin who was bullied in the past. How he was treated at the Marquis' residence.

Then how does Celine suspect that the mysterious illness of her late mother is caused by someone. Either concubine Yun or concubine Yingtsi.

How Celine strategized to the late mother's room with Yanzhi. When talking about this, Celine took the time to thank her husband, because thanks to Yanzhi they can take clues about the object (letter under the bed, read chapter30). Zhou Ming nodded at his wife's thanks.

Celine continued her story. He told me the contents of the letter. The origin of Jiu Yin, the late mother of Han Cya Lin. Celine also tells of her late mother's cousin Jiu Yan and her grandfather's uncle who wanted to seize power. Ever since Han Cya Lin's grandfather went cultivating then since then the Jiangnan area had become a mess.

The seizure of territory and power, as well as the dissatisfaction of Jiu Yin's leadership as the person appointed the previous sect master (grandfather who went to cultivate) were his motives. Feeling unable to hold onto the reins of temporary leadership and preventing more sect people from being killed, Jiu Yin decided to go on a journey. The letter gave the first clue: a peach tree. Based on the number of letters 3 sheets, the date of making the letter 6 years ago, which is when Celine was 9 years old, Celine can guess if 9 shows the number of peach trees in the residence of her late mother. And if the intersection line is drawn from the formation, it will meet the midpoint where the object is located.

"And you guessed exactly where it was, just didn't know how to pick it up so it went around silly in circles in place, didn't it?" Guess Zhou Ming as he pinched his wife's cheek.

"Yes, you are right Your Majesty" Celine said as she brushed Zhou Ming's hand away with a frown.

"Let the Servant finish the story first" Celine said.

"Hhhmmmm, well continue" Zhou Ming said as he pulled his hand.

In the end Jiu Yin met empress Ruan (the late mother of Zhou Ming) and befriended him. Then they parted ways and found their respective soul mates, but they kept remembering each other, so when empress Ruan found out that Jiu Yin had a daughter they were both very happy. Finally thanks to the marriage Zhou Ming and Han Cya Lin were demoted.

"So our late mother was friendly?" Zhou Ming asked as he propped up his chin.

"Know such a Servant. Faintly the Servant recalls the story of the late mother of the Servant, when the Servant was a child. The late Empress Ruan was a friend of the late Servant's mother" Celine said.

"Indeed the contents of the letter did not tell in detail how their friendship was. But they seem to be good friends in joy and sorrow. So that they want to be brothers forever by tying up their children's marriages" Celine added.

Celine cleaned up the small table, the former cutlery and Zhou Ming onto the dining table. He walked towards the closet where he kept the konde skewer which became the identifying mark of Han's late mother Cya Lin.

He showed it to Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming grabbed the thing. He feels interested. He scrutinized and looked at the konde skewers closely.

It didn't take long for Zhou Ming to find a small yellow lever hidden away.

'Well,,, Zhou Ming was instantly able to find it in a very short time? Very thorough she' thought Celine was a bit surprised.

As Zhou Ming pressed down on the small lever, Celine warned him so she involuntarily shouted,

"Be careful" while sticking out his hand trying to keep away the sharp part of the konde skewer that will appear. 

"Hhhmm?" Zhou Ming glanced at Celine.

Celine's outstretched hand was instead captured and pulled by Zhou Ming's free hand so that she was now in her husband's arms.

"Sraattt" the small sharp sword first appeared.

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows and pressed the lever a second time.

"Sraatttt" this time a short sword with a serrated tip.

Zhou Ming smiled. What a precious relic. The right cheek of Celine.

"A very interesting thing. At least with this thing you can defend yourself later. But,, why are you screaming? You worried? Or did you deliberately throw yourself at me?" Zhou Ming again kissed Celine's temple.

Even with just one left hand of her husband, Celine was unable to free herself from Zhou Ming's embrace.

'Why is this person so strong huhuhuhu' Celine's inner cry.

"Hamba was afraid that the weapon would spill dragon blood. The servant cannot afford such a great risk, Your Majesty. So Servant warned His Majesty" Celine said as she tried to break free.

'Oh no, no, no, this is not the scene I wanted. Please!!!' celine grimaced and screamed in fear.

With the pressure of the last lever, the konde puncture finally returned to its original shape. Zhou Ming handed the skewer back to Celine. Celine's right hand received a konde stitch from her husband.

"Sraatt"

'Heh, already recovered it turns out' Zhou Ming's inner grinned happily.

The fingers of Zhou Ming's right hand immediately docked and hit Celine's wrist carrying a konde puncture. 

"Klontangg" the skewer fell.

Then with a quick movement both of Celine's hands were put together and held by Zhou Ming's large left hand.

"Ouch" ringis Celine. Movement locked. Now he can't even move his body at all.

Zhou Ming held Celine's chin and looked up at her. 

"You dare attack me, hmmm my wife?" Zhou Ming said sharply with a smile.

"No, no, no, that's not true. It was just a reflex move by His Majesty. To be honest Slave only wants to practice using a konde skewer with you" Celine tried to explain stupidly.

'It is clear that the reflex is self-defense if an unfortunate situation is to occur. I was just trying, who knows if he'd win if he'd let my guard down, and I was free, but as it turns out,,, failure is really sad, I have to prepare to be eaten by this big wolf again huhuhuhu' Celine closed her eyes.

He was afraid of punishment for intending to strike the Crown Prince's face.

"Your progress has been quite rapid, it only takes ten thousand years to defeat me, my wife" Zhou Ming kissed Celine's lips that had teased her earlier.

"Ummhhhh" Celine widened her eyes. 'Don't anymoreiiiii' his mind is chaotic.

"I'll teach you to use that thing later. And since I see you have recovered, it is time to practice your other abilities" Zhou Ming said as he continued kissing Celine again.

"No, I haven't recovered ummhhh,,, detached,,,umhh,,,, Zhou,,,, ummmhhh" Celine's screams and her futile attempt to release herself began to sound.

Zhou Ming took Celine to the bed and continued their delayed session due to dinner.

Celine woke up early in the morning. Gnashing her eyes, Celine realized that Zhou Ming's figure was still faithfully attached to her. Celine understands what it's like to be a newlywed.

Celine did not dare to move. Celine was afraid of waking up the sleeping dragon. But her small movements could be caught easily by her husband.

"What's my wife?" Zhou Ming slowly kissed his wife's ears.

"Ehmm,, Your Highness, did not go to court?" Celine twitched uneasily in Zhou Ming's embrace.

"No,,, today I will accompany you all day" Zhou Ming said as he began again what he had done repeatedly.

'Oh no!!! No more!!!!'inner Celine.

And yahhh let the newlywed couple carry out their duties and obligations.
