Chapter 219 Ancient World 36: Got it Wrong

When the great general returned to the capital, Zuo Zhizhi also learned his name - Yuwen Xiu.

But when she was carefully inquiring about the general, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

General Yuwen is only 25 years old now. He was just 22 years old when he was ordered to go to war three years ago. At that time, he had just married his wife and had not yet entered the bridal chamber when he rushed to the border.

For three years, the general's wife has been very low-key in the capital, but she has shouldered the burden of the entire Yuwen family on her own.

Everyone said that now that General Yuwen had returned victorious, it was finally time for his wife to enjoy her life!

But isn’t this the most common plot?

Zuo Zhizhi was a little suspicious. Could it be that General Yuwen was also going to the Widow Village to fight?

Of course, she didn't know all this. After all, she only looked at General Yuwen in the box facing the street. Since there was only one person there, she didn't see the symbol on his head.

I'm afraid we'll have to wait until we see his wife to see if there are any new changes.

When General Yuwen entered the palace, he was undoubtedly canonized as the Loyal and Brave General by the Emperor.

Because the weather at the border was bitterly cold, in order to comfort him, he was allowed to recuperate in the capital.

Of course, what is more important is to take away the military power in his hands. Of course, in order not to discourage his soldiers, he can only choose a more gentle approach.

And now, this newly appointed loyal and brave general is returning to his general's residence with drums and gongs beating.

Zuo Zhizhi was also joining in the fun. Although she could only watch from a distance, the moment she saw the mistress, she immediately sighed!

This reborn mistress is so powerful!

No matter how Zuo Zhizhi lamented, the general had already arrived at the door, and the mistress of the house, Yue Chuxia, was also standing at the door with tears in her eyes.

She supported her elderly mother-in-law, looked in the direction of the person coming, and kept looking around, making everyone sigh, what a role model for women!

When Yuwen Xiu got off the horse, Yue Chuxia rushed forward and threw herself into his arms. "Husband, you are finally back. It's so great, husband!"

Although this is somewhat unreasonable, everyone thought about it and didn't take it to heart.

After all, this mistress has been supporting the entire family by herself since she got married. She hasn't seen her husband for three years, so she is a little excited, so it is normal for her to do some extraordinary things!

It's normal for her, but not for others.

Behind the soldiers brought back by Yuwen Xiu, there was a figure with his eyes wide open, full of disbelief.

Hearing others praising Yue Chuxia, her eyes rolled slightly, she quickly tidied herself up, and walked to the general's door!

"Brother, this is my sister-in-law, right?"

When Yue Chuxia heard the sound, she realized what she had done and retreated back to her original position feeling a little embarrassed.

"It was all my dream. My husband, please come in. I have already set up the banquet and am waiting for you to come!"

Yuwen Xiu also knew that this was not a place to talk, so he took the others in.

Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Xiaotong, and bad guesses arose in their hearts, but they never said them out loud.

After changing his clothes, Yuwen Xiu walked to Yue Chuxia and said a little embarrassedly.

"Lin Xiaotong, you saw it, right? I think..."

"My dear husband, you don't have to tell me. I understand everything. I've already asked Sister Lin. If that's the case, let's quickly set up the banquet!"

Yuwen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had not expected his wife to be so generous. He quickly reached out and hugged Yue Chuxia, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!"

Yue Chuxia also lowered her head in pretended obedience.

Sure enough, the next day, Yue Chuxia prepared a banquet. Yuwen Xiu sat in the main seat as a matter of course, and Yue Chuxia sat in a seat slightly to the side.

Lin Xiaotong sat in the first seat at the bottom.

Because everyone present has some relationship with the Yuwen family, and some are old friends from the general's mansion, so no one can be delayed.

Yuwen Xiu was a little confused when he saw this situation. Fortunately, he didn't tell Lin Xiaotong, otherwise it would have been a big joke.

Yuwen Xiu glanced at Yue Chuxia with some displeasure, but quickly looked away.

After everyone arrived, Yuwen Xiu gave an opening speech. When he sat down, it was supposed to be time for singing, dancing and drinking, but Yue Chuxia did not give him this opportunity.

"Everyone, we have a happy event in the Yuwen Mansion today! The Miss Lin that my husband brought back this time was the daughter of one of his subordinates. She made great contributions to my husband, but now she has unfortunately passed away. What will happen to this lonely and helpless person in the future?"

As she spoke, Yue Chuxia began to shed tears.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh. After all, this war was indeed very brutal. Although it was a great victory, there were countless sacrifices in the process.

"Therefore, today my husband and I acknowledge Lin Xiaotong as our sister. From today on, she is a member of our Yuwen Mansion, but she does not need to change her surname! I hope you will take good care of her in the future!"

Naturally, everyone responded and raised their glasses to drink the wine without hesitation.

While Yuwen Xiu and Lin Xiaotong were still confused, Yue Chuxia continued, "My sister already called someone yesterday. Plus, she's a shy girl, so I won't let her speak in public today!"

After hearing this, everyone expressed their understanding!

After all, Miss Lin called her brother and sister-in-law in public yesterday, and everyone saw it.

Girls are shy nowadays, so it’s only natural not to let her speak alone!

Only Yuwen Xiu looked confused!

So that's what happened. It turned out that the lady had asked Lin Daiyu, but she was embarrassed to tell the truth, which led to the lady misunderstanding.

But now the matter is done, what should we do?

Yuwen Xiu gritted his teeth and was about to explain when he heard a eunuch coming outside.

Everyone knelt down to welcome him, because it turned out that the emperor's imperial edict of enthronement had arrived.

After all, Yue Chuxia has been managing the mansion for many years, and even if she has no credit, she has worked hard.

Yesterday, only Yuwen Xiu was conferred the title of General of Loyalty and Bravery. Today, the imperial edict of the first class decree conferring the title of General of Loyalty and Bravery’s wife also arrived.

Yue Chuxia naturally knelt down to greet him.

Before Eunuch Cai left, Yue Chuxia said with a look of joy, "Today, our general has recognized the daughter of a subordinate who died in battle as his sister, and he has invited you to a banquet!"

"Let's skip the banquet," Eunuch Cai smiled and shook his head, "I still have to go back to serve the Emperor!"

Yue Chuxia naturally nodded in agreement, and then asked the maid next to her to give Eunuch Cai a box of snacks that had been prepared long ago.

Eunuch Cai shook the heavy box and was naturally happy to know that there were many things inside.

"Then I am honored to be here. Please enjoy your meal and drinks!"

After Eunuch Cai left, the atmosphere became lively again.

Everyone kept praising the reputation of the loyal and brave general.
