Chapitre 1: The General's Arrival
Translator: Atlas Studios Éditeur: Atlas Studios
After seven or eight days of continuous rain, the weather in the city of Yandu finally cleared up. The sunlight pierced through the clouds as if holy light had descended, illuminating the flying dust in the air.
Grand General Xie's residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, exuding a lively atmosphere.
"Miss, it's time for us to head out. I've received news that the General has already arrived at the city gate,"
Ah Chu called out softly behind the girl.
The young girl sitting there looked up with her deer-like eyes. Her pale crimson collar made her snow-white face look even more obedient. She pursed her lips and was about to speak when she heard an anxious voice outside.
"Ah Fu, why aren't you out yet? Brother is almost reaching home!" A young girl in red ran in. Her smiley eyes were sparkling and brimming with immense joy.
That was the young lady of the General's residence, Xie Min. Since Jiang Fu became part of the Xie family, she was always by her side. They always enjoyed delicious food and drinks or shared beautiful clothes and accessories.
Xie Min ran in. Seeing Jiang Fu still in a daze, she pulled her over. "Let's go!"
The collar around Jiang Fu's neck moved, and the beads hanging below collided, emitting a faint ringing noise. She followed behind Xie Min and said in a gentle, soft voice, "Why is he back so quickly …"
"Ah Fu, let me tell you. You must stand in front later to charm my brother!" Xie Min whispered in her ear as she dragged her outside. "I heard that he brought a woman back from this expedition."
'A woman?'
Jiang Fu's eyes widened.
She was originally the child of a poor family. As her father had lost a lot of money to gambling, her family sold her to the Xie family.
Initially, she thought she would be sold into the Xie family as a maidservant. However, she did not expect Old Madam Xie to treat her like her daughter. She even intended for her to marry General Xie.
It was because her fate was compatible with General Xie's. If General Xie married her, her life would be peaceful and worry-free.
Xie Min dragged Jiang Fu out, whose long black eyelashes drooped down.
She had seen General Xie before.
His white horse and silver spear were heroic and had the bearing of a celestial.
Most importantly …
General Xie had once saved her from being bullied by the hooligans in Yandu.
She did not know if General Xie remembered, but that red color had always been reflected in Jiang Fu's heart.
"Old Madam, Old Madam, bad news!"
Just as Jiang Fu and Xie Min were walking out, they saw someone stumble in. It was the servant of the Xie Residence. He looked pale and flustered and almost fell in front of them.
Xie Min held onto him. She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Today was the day her brother's army returned to the city in triumph. Many people were coming, and the servants at home could not run around like this. It was fine if they were family, but it would not be good if they offended important guests coming to visit.
The servant retracted his hand and did not dare to touch Xie Min. He took a deep breath and said with a sobbing tone, "General… General is injured."
Xie Min held Jiang Fu's hand and stood there in a daze. She did not react. "He's injured? Where?"
His brother had gone to the battlefield at the age of 14 and had suffered countless injuries. His family was already used to it. If he only suffered a slight injury, it would not be worth his servant's panic.
If his injury made the servant panic to this extent, then…
