Chapter 3 General’s Wife

Zhen'an City is located in the southwest of Tianwu Empire and borders Mandi Country. However, because Mandi's land is barren and scarce, this group of barbarians always want to annex Zhen'an City, the southwest gateway of Tianwu Empire. As for the benefits, first, the Tianwu Empire is rich in resources, and taking Zhen'an City is equivalent to having a lot of money and food. Second, Zhen'an City has a special geographical location. Tianwu Empire has many plains, so once Zhen'an City is lost, Mandi Country can march straight in, and it can attack or defend, which will become Mandi's most powerful seesaw or weapon against Tianwu Empire.

But dreams and reality are always at odds with each other. The more beautiful the dream is, the more cruel the reality is, and all this is just because of one person.

General Zhenguo 'Su Zhenguo'

The reason why Zhen'an City is called Zhen'an City is that the two words "Zhen'an" are taken from the name of this respected general.

It also means to revitalize peace.

The people in the city love this great general. It is because of him that the southwest is so peaceful and calm, and the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment. And because of this stability, Zhen'an City is naturally prosperous as trade continues.

"Rouge, the best rouge..."

"Young and beautiful girl, would you like a pair of pearl earrings from the Nanman mine?"

"Madam, look at this material, the color is bright, the texture is smooth, buy some and make a few decent dresses, it will definitely look good..."

"Cakes, freshly baked cakes..."

"My two guests, please come in... the private room upstairs, my two distinguished guests..."

The place was bustling with noise, the sounds of hawkers were endless, and people passing by were endless, making it seem very lively.

Zhen'an Street is the most prosperous street in Zhen'an City. It has a wide road surface and many shops. The lanes and pedestrian paths are clearly separated and orderly. Although there are many pedestrians and carriages, it does not seem messy. The hustle and bustle is only one of its reasons. What is more important is that the end of this street is the Zhen'an General's Mansion.

The gate is magnificent, the houses are antique with green bricks and blue tiles, and there is a pair of martial lions at the door with extraordinary momentum. However, the owner of this mansion, General Su, is in a very anxious mood because his wife is giving birth today. More importantly, his wife Yuehua is weak to begin with, and giving birth is naturally not very smooth. This is what worries Su Zhenguo the most.

"Oh! General, my wife is giving birth, giving birth..."

He didn't know how much time had passed. He only saw the setting sun, the twinkling stars, and the rising moon. Su Zhenguo stood at the door all night until the morning light came and the sun rose. Finally, there was movement, accompanied by a loud but childish cry, and the voice of the midwife Cheng Sao also came from inside the house.

"Boom..."

Su Zhenguo couldn't hold back any longer after hearing that. He moved and kicked the door open. He then moved to the side of the bed and looked at his family members lying weakly on the bed. Su Zhenguo's tiger eyes were sparkling, but that sparkle was suppressed in an instant. In fact, it's not that men can't cry, it's just that tears are the most useless, so it's better not to cry!

"He's a big fat boy, weighing seven pounds and six ounces."

"Congratulations, general, congratulations, general!"

Seeing General Su flash in, midwife Cheng Sao walked in with a chubby pink baby in her arms, smiling happily and speaking in a pleasant voice.

"Ah."

"Yuehua, how do you feel now?"

Su Zhenguo seemed a little confused at this time. Hearing Mrs. Cheng's words, he just nodded blankly. After all, it was his first time as a father, and he was still a little at a loss.

But when he saw the woman he loved most in his life looking so pale, Su Zhenguo's heart ached, and the first thing he asked was about his wife.

"Ahem~ Zhenguo, I'm... fine..."

"Where's the child...where's my child!"

Li Yuehua was breathing heavily and coughing softly, but as a mother, what she wanted to see first was her child. After ten months of pregnancy and one day of delivery, her mind was completely on this newborn baby, so her words were also very anxious.

"Hurry, Sister Cheng, let me see... my child..."

Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and although her face was pale, her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were still extremely beautiful. Her weak complexion after giving birth made people feel even more pity and reluctant to leave.

However, the weak and beautiful woman at this time kept searching the house with her eyes, until she saw the midwife Cheng Sao and the baby in her arms, she showed a hint of joy on her face, and her words seemed a little anxious.

"Ma'am, here it is!"

Perhaps seeing the eager gaze of the general's wife, Mrs. Cheng hurriedly came forward with the little one in her arms, and with a smile on her face, she gently placed the little one on the lady's pillow, then stepped back to the general's side.

At this time, the general's wife was looking at the newborn baby with eyes full of affection and joy. She lay on her side with her body slightly raised up, and even used one hand to gently pat and caress the baby.

It's strange to say, the little guy who was still crying in Mrs. Cheng's arms, gradually calmed down in his mother's hands, his bright black eyes blinked, as if he was looking at this new world.

Li Yuehua looked at the little guy, and the little guy's eyes also saw the pale woman in front of him. She was looking at him and smiling, and he was also looking at her and smiling.
