Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

She was really curious about what kind of person her father was, and what happened between them.

When General Gu thought of Gu Qingyuan's father, his face was filled with tenderness, completely different from the way he looked when he beat Gu Qingyuan for causing trouble.

General Gu looked at Gu Qingyuan, as if he was looking at that person through her face.

She was silent for a long time before she said, "Your father is a very good man."

"I met your father on the battlefield. Your father is a doctor. During that battle, I accidentally fell off my horse and was captured by the enemy. They tortured me in every possible way, trying to extract military secrets..."

Gu Qingyuan felt a wave of fear when she heard this. Although her mother downplayed the situation, she could imagine how thrilling the situation must have been.

Captured and tortured by the enemy...

General Gu continued, "Luckily, I escaped later. However, they starved me for several days. I caught mice, ate insects, and even ate dirt. Only then did I have the strength to escape."

Not only that, she also took the opportunity to knock out the guards, set their entire camp on fire, and escaped in the chaos.

It was that fire that killed several enemy leaders and burned all their food and supplies, making it easier for the people of Daning State to attack the enemy later.

"I think I've gone off topic a bit. I met your father after I escaped. I looked like a ghost at the time, covered in blood, and my eyes were bloodshot. When I saw your father, I thought he was sent by the enemy to capture me, and I even tried to hurt him..."

"But I was so exhausted that I fainted right in front of your father. Your father was out collecting herbs and later picked me up and took me back to heal me."

During their later interactions, General Gu learned of his identity. He lived at the foot of the mountain at that time. His parents died early, but they left him many medical books.

As they got to know each other better, the two developed feelings for each other. Later, General Gu recovered from his injury and reunited with the main force. They defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and returned to Beijing to help the newly crowned empress quell the rebellion and secure her throne.

Upon learning of General Gu's heroic deeds, the Empress appointed her as the General Dingguo and also arranged a marriage for her.

But General Gu insisted on marrying Gu Qingyuan's father. They were very much in love after their marriage, but no one could have imagined that he would die due to dystocia when giving birth to Gu Qingyuan. The fetus was in an abnormal position at the time. Gu Qingyuan's father Meng Qianqiu knew his physical condition better than anyone else. He left a sentence "protect the little" and passed away.

Later, perhaps in order to help General Gu get over his sadness, His Majesty sent a few more men to the mansion. General Gu was depressed for a while, but then he slowly came over.

Gu Qingyuan sighed after hearing this and scratched her toes on the ground awkwardly.

If it weren't for her, her father probably wouldn't have died.

Seeing the self-blame on Gu Qingyuan's face, General Gu comforted her, "This matter has nothing to do with you. If your father knew, he would probably be upset. He loves you the most. When you were in his belly, he would sing songs for you, tell you stories... and even read medical books to you."

Gu Qingyuan suddenly wanted to see her father's grave and pestered General Gu to take her there.

"It just so happens that I'm planning to go see your father too. In that case, let's go."

Gu Qingyuan followed General Gu and walked out.

The tomb of Gu Qingyuan's father, Meng Qianqiu, is in a cemetery, where some of General Gu's former comrades-in-arms are also buried.

When you arrive at the tomb, you can see that someone comes to take care of Meng Qianqiu's tomb every once in a while, and there are several brightly colored flowers blooming on it.

Gu Qingyuan picked one and put it on her head, then knelt down and kowtowed to him several times.

She said silently in her heart: "Although I am not your daughter, since I have occupied your daughter's body, I will definitely take good care of my mother and the Gu family, so you can rest assured."

A breeze blew by, as if in response.

General Gu sat in front of the tomb and talked to him.

"Qianqiu, look at how big Qingyuan has grown now..."

Gu Qingyuan did not disturb her and stood quietly by the side.

General Gu talked to him a lot. It was the first time that Gu Qingyuan saw her mother talk so much. She looked at the portrait of the young man on the tombstone.

He really was a gentle man, just as General Gu said. He had a gentle smile between his eyebrows and eyes. He also looked like a stunningly handsome man, with double eyelids, big eyes, and a high nose bridge...

She has an excellent temperament and carries the kindness of a doctor.

No wonder General Gu spoils me so much. My face is so similar to his.

"...If you knew I had spoiled Qing Yuan like this, would you blame me?"

Gu Qingyuan touched his nose and looked at the person in the portrait again.

She lit some incense and paper, kowtowed twice, and called out, "Dad, you have to take care of yourself over there."

General Gu also lit some incense at the end, and then Gu Qingyuan helped her up. The two of them looked at the tombstone deeply again before leaving.

The wildflowers on Gu Qingyuan's head fell to the ground. She wanted to pick them up, but General Gu shook his head and said, "Forget it."

The two returned to Gu's house.

……

Gu Qingyuan returned to her own yard.

She called Chunfen and asked, "What's going on with Wen Fulang today?"

Chunfen answered truthfully, "I saw Mr. Wen copying books in the yard today."

Gu Qingyuan glanced towards Wen Shubai's room, but saw nothing.

She picked up the sword and raised an eyebrow at Equinox.

"Chunfen, you should know some martial arts, right? Let's have a one-on-one duel."

She can't beat her mother, she can't beat the summer solstice, but she should be able to beat the spring equinox, right?

Chunfen nodded and picked up the sword.

While fighting with Gu Qingyuan, Chunfen said in surprise, "Young Master, I didn't expect you to have made such great progress in just such a short period of time!"

Chunfen's praise made Gu Qingyuan feel better, and the two of them fought evenly in the yard.

Gu Qingyuan only shouted "Stop" when he was too tired to lift the sword.

Phew, so tired, but also very happy!

When Gu Qingyuan and Chunfen were practicing sword, Wen Shubai heard the noise in the house and still stood in front of the window watching, but he did not open the window, just looked out through the gap.

She is very agile and it can be seen that the martial arts training she has been doing has been effective.

He wanted to see Gu Qingyuan, but he couldn't save face, so he could only sit back at the table and continue copying books boredly.

The head of the Qi family came to visit the general's mansion on the second day after Gu Qingyuan returned home.

After learning her purpose, the people in the general's mansion welcomed her in and said, "Our general is in the room. I will go and talk to him right away."

The head of the Qi family nodded and stood in the yard waiting.

Soon, General Gu came out of the house. When he saw the head of the Qi family, he exchanged some pleasantries before getting down to business.

"Are you here for your two children's marriage?"

The head of the Qi family smiled and praised General Gu.

"It is also my son's blessing to be able to marry into the Gu family."
