I was very happy all the way. The General spoke up for me and protected me. I felt his intentions. The Duchess was very happy; as soon as we returned to the residence, she called the General into her room to speak privately. I waited outside for a long time before he finally came out. He looked at me, his expression not quite right. I followed him back to the room. He closed the door and stared at me.
I asked him, "What's wrong?" He looked at me and said, "My mother... wants me to take you as a concubine."
"Take me as a concubine?" I was stunned. He nodded, "Yes." I lowered my head and fell silent. I knew the Duchess had always wanted a grandchild. But the General had never been willing to take a concubine, and she had been very anxious about it. That's why she wanted him to take me.
But I didn't want to be a concubine. I wanted to be a wife.
That night, as we lay in bed, he held me and asked, "Aren't you happy?" I sighed and said, "I don't want to be a concubine." He looked at me and said, "But I can only make you a concubine."
"I can't marry you." I bit my lip and fell silent.
I know that his status is noble, and he would never marry me. But I... I just want to marry him.
The Duchess really liked those three pieces of jewelry. She had her maid help her put them on and went to the front hall to receive guests. The guests were all astonished when they saw the Duchess. They praised her beauty and grace and asked where she got her jewelry. The Duchess smiled and said, "My maid helped me choose them." "She bought them at the Treasure Pavilion." Upon hearing this, the guests were filled with envy. They said, "Your maid is truly impressive." "Yes, we also want a maid like that." The Duchess felt proud and replied, "My maid is one of a kind." The guests were envious upon hearing this.
The Duchess was very happy; she received a lot of compliments and admiration. She treated me even better, allowing me to stay by her side, helping me dress up, and taking me to the banquet. I performed well at the banquet and won a lot of praise and envy. The Duchess was even happier; she treated me better and even wanted the general to marry me. But I knew that was impossible.
After the Winter Solstice Festival, the general went off to war. This battle was intense, and he was gone for a full six months. During this time, I worried about him every day. I worried about him getting hurt or something happening to him. Every day, I waited at the city gate for his return. Finally, I waited for him.
He has returned, triumphant.
I ran to him, tears streaming down my face as I looked at him.
He smiled and wiped away my tears, saying, "Silly Girl, I'm back."
I nodded, "Mm."
He looked at me and said, "This time, I want to reward you properly."
"You have done a great service for me."
I smiled and replied, "That was what I should do."
He chuckled and lifted me onto his horse, taking me back to the residence.
Along the way, the people cheered, celebrating the victory.
Amidst their cheers, I felt happiness.
I knew my efforts had not been in vain.
My hard work had brought rewards.
While the general was away, I had someone look for Lu Ye.
Lu Ye was Lu Zhenzhen's lover, and he had lost everything because of her.
I thought he must be eager for revenge.
At the end of the month, I finally found Lu Ye.
He looked much haggard, with bloodshot eyes.
I looked at him and asked, "Do you want revenge?"
He stared at me in silence.
I took out an anonymous letter and handed it to him, asking him to deliver it to the Prime Minister's Residence.
He took the letter and left.
The next day, I heard news that the Prime Minister's Residence had invited Taoists and monks to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits.
I didn't know how Lu Ye delivered the letter, but I was sure he would succeed.
