The story of Lu Zhenzhen being exorcised spread throughout the capital. Everyone said that Lu Zhenzhen was possessed by a ghost, which was why she had done such shameless things. The Prime Minister was very frightened and invited many people to perform exorcisms. However, no matter how many people came, they could not drive the ghost away from Lu Zhenzhen.
In the end, a Taoist priest said, "To drive away the ghost from her, you must cut off her head." The Prime Minister did not believe this and refused to behead Lu Zhenzhen. But Lu Zhenzhen was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable; she cried and begged the Prime Minister to kill her. With no other choice, he agreed.
Thus, the Taoist priest beheaded Lu Zhenzhen. It was then that everyone realized that the lecherous man had been hiding in Lu Zhenzhen's room, disguised as her. I finally took my revenge. With Lu Zhenzhen dead, my wish was fulfilled. I focused more on my shop.
To reassure the Emperor, the general who had gained too much power returned his military insignia and went to take the imperial examination in March. He passed and transformed Duke Wei's Residence from a family of military merit into one of scholarly prestige. Many families came to propose marriage, but the general rejected them all.
Duke Wei and his wife were anxious; they worried that the general would really choose not to marry. Therefore, they agreed to let me become the legitimate wife. I finally married the general.
On the day of our wedding, I was very happy, and the general was even happier. He drank a lot of wine and when we returned to our room, he held me and said, "Wei Yang, I finally married you."
He kissed my lips and said, "Call me Zixuan."
I blinked and replied, "Zixuan."
He held me close and kissed my neck.
I closed my eyes, feeling his passion.
That night, we were deeply entwined.
After I married the General, he entrusted the household affairs to me.
The following year, I gave birth to a daughter.
Then, I had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
The Duke and his wife were busy taking care of the children and had no time to manage the estate.
Thus, they gradually stopped overseeing the household, and the authority fell into my hands.
I helped the General manage the home while he focused on training soldiers to protect our country.
We lived happily together.
Time flew by, and decades passed in the blink of an eye.
He grew old, and so did I.
Now, the General has become the Duke.
He is no longer that young and strong man; he has turned into an elderly man with gray hair.
I looked at him, filled with emotion.
He looked at me and smiled, saying, "Wei Yang, you've changed."
"What have I changed into?" I asked.
He looked at me and said, "You've become more beautiful, smarter, and more capable."
I smiled and replied, "You've changed too."
"Oh? What have I changed into?" he asked.
I looked at him and said, "You've become more mature, more composed, and more charming."
He laughed heartily and said, "Your mouth is still as sweet as ever."
I smiled lightly and remained silent.
A year later, Duke passed away.
I looked at him, filled with reluctance.
He held my hand and said, "Wei Yang, in this life, I owe you a proper wedding."
"If there is an afterlife, I will make it up to you."
I looked at him and said, "If there is an afterlife, I will still marry you."
He smiled and said, "Alright."
"I will wait for you."
He reached out to wipe away my tears and said, "Don't cry."
"After I'm gone, you must take care of yourself."
I nodded and replied, "Mm."
After Duke's passing, I handed over the family responsibilities to Consort Heir.
I packed my things and followed Duke.
I had promised him that after he left, I would go with him.
I would not stay in this world alone.
