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

"Don't mess around." General Gu said a little tiredly.

She didn't want Qingyuan to go with her. After all, the situation there was not yet fully understood. She was also afraid that something might happen if she took Qingyuan with her.

Gu Qingyuan looked at General Gu and then at Xia Zhi, knowing that they were determined not to let her go.

"I brought you here today to show you that going to the battlefield is not as easy as it sounds." General Gu advised her earnestly.

She herself had seen many cases on the battlefield where heads suddenly rolled to the ground and body parts were scattered everywhere. Her companions who were originally by her side might die in the blink of an eye.

But my daughter has never seen such a scene before, and I'm afraid she will have a nightmare if she sees it.

It’s enough for her to go alone, the Gu family needs someone to stay.

Xia Zhi, who was standing by, also quickly persuaded him, "Yes, young master, you could be killed in a split second on the battlefield. Your current skills are not enough to fight against so many enemies, so it's better for you to stay."

The wind blew Gu Qingyuan's hair in front of her forehead. She looked at General Gu and Xia Zhi. Both of them looked like they were doing it for her good.

"But, mother, I still want to follow you to train my courage. If others knew that the daughter of General Dingguo only dared to stay at home, I'm afraid it would affect your lifelong reputation."

"What kind of reputation do I need? As long as you are okay, that's enough." General Gu rubbed Gu Qingyuan's hair.

"This isn't a big deal. Trust your mother, you'll be back soon. When you do, I'll bring you some rare treasures from other countries."

After saying that, General Gu looked at Xia Zhi again and asked her to take Gu Qingyuan back, while she would stay and continue training the troops until the day of departure.

Gu Qingyuan had no choice but to follow Xia Zhi back first. She knew that it would be useless even if she made a fuss this time.

She had a gloomy face all the way, and Xia Zhi kept an eye on her to prevent her from following General Gu without his attention.

……

When Gu Qingyuan returned home, Xia Zhi was still waiting outside the door.

"Don't you need to go find my mother?" Gu Qingyuan looked up and asked her.

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "The general asked me to stay with the young master and protect him."

Gu Qingyuan lay on the table somewhat depressed.

Chunfen took out her favorite food to attract her attention, but she didn't react at all.

Chunfen made faces again to cheer up Gu Qingyuan, but she just lay down in another direction, looking unhappy.

"Young Master, are you worried about our general? The general is brave and will definitely return safely."

In order to persuade her, Xia Zhi also started to talk more.

"I have followed General Gu all the way to this point. As long as General Gu is here, there is no battle that cannot be won. Young Master, please trust General Gu."

Suddenly, Gu Qingyuan sat up. Chunfen and Xiazhi thought she had figured it out, but she just looked up at them and said, "I want to be alone."

The Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice looked at each other and quietly stepped aside.

For the entire day, Gu Qingyuan lay on the table without eating or drinking, and never raised his head.

If it weren't for the occasional movement of his eyes, both of them would have thought Gu Qingyuan was asleep.

It was getting dark, but General Gu was still at the training ground.

At this time, she had sweated a lot after training day after day, and because she had been on the battlefield for many years, she still had many sequelae on her body.

Although those soldiers were tired, they were full of energy when they thought about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the peace of the country. It didn't matter if they suffered a little or were tired, as long as the people could live and work in peace.

There are also their families. Some of them are not married yet and plan to get married after returning from victory.

Gu Qingyuan didn't eat anything the whole day. No matter how Chunfen and Xiazhi tried to persuade her, she just shook her head and said she had no appetite.

Chunfen suddenly thought of something and turned to go to Meiyuan.

In the Plum Garden, Wen Shubai is arranging flowers.

When he took out the dried flower from the vase and was about to replace it with a new one, Yu Shui came in and reported, "Master, Miss Chunfen is here."

When Wen Shubai thought about the fact that Chunfen was someone close to her, and whether Chunfen's arrival meant that she had also arrived, a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes. He put down the flowers in his hand, turned around and asked, "Is she here?"

"This... only Miss Chunfen came here alone."

The smile on Wen Shubai's face disappeared visibly, and his mouth was almost pouting.

"Let's go and see what she's here for."

Chunfen waited for a while before seeing Wen Shubai. After seeing him, he hurriedly said, "Young Master hasn't eaten anything all day. Can you go over and persuade him?"

"what?"

Wen Shubai was very surprised when he heard it.

"Today, the young master went to the martial arts training ground with the general. After returning, the young master lay down alone, saying that he just wanted to be quiet, and he didn't even drink a sip of water."

In fact, Chunfen wanted to find Ji Mingzhao more, but given Wen Shubai's identity, it would be inappropriate for her to rashly go to find the young master's concubine.

After listening to Chunfen, Wen Shubai walked out without hesitation.

After Chunfen went out, he hurried after him.

When he arrived at Gu Qingyuan's yard, he saw that she was indeed lying there alone. There was some food on the table, but it looked like she had not touched it at all.

She didn't know what she was thinking and didn't even notice that she came over. Wen Shubai had seen her many times in high spirits, so he felt a little distressed to see her looking so dejected and listless.

"Little Lord."

He half squatted down and called her.

Gu Qingyuan moved her fingers but didn't reply to him.

Wen Shubai called her again.

"Little Lord……"

Gu Qingyuan finally reacted and looked up at him.

"How did you come?"

Wen Shubai looked at the marks on her face from lying down all the time and said gently, "I heard that the young master hasn't eaten for a day, so I came to see him."

Gu Qingyuan rubbed her stomach. Even though she hadn't eaten anything for a whole day, she didn't feel hungry.

She uttered a soft "oh" and returned to her unwillingness to talk look.

Wen Shubai sat down beside her and asked her, "What would you like to eat, young master? I'll ask the kitchen to make it."

“I don’t want to eat any.”

Gu Qingyuan felt depressed. She didn't go there to cause trouble. She just wanted to do her part.

"That won't do. How can the young master's body withstand not eating?"

When they first met, Gu Qingyuan liked his face and voice very much, but now he was beside her, talking to her gently, but she didn't react at all.

Gu Qingyuan ignored him, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he said softly, "Young Master, do you not want to eat because of the martial arts training ground?"

"How did you know?"

Gu Qingyuan glanced at him.

Wen Shubai pushed the mung bean cake towards her and said, "Eat something first to fill your stomach. I came here because I was worried about you."

Gu Qingyuan looked at Chunfen who was standing under the eaves, but Chunfen was looking away.
