Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

The wife naturally didn't know about these bad things. She lived a leisurely life with her big belly every day. Now she is nearly five months pregnant and her belly is starting to show.

That day, the lady had just woken up from her nap when she heard the maid come to report.

"Madam, Butler Qian has been waiting for you outside the door for a while. He said he has something to report."

"You said it wasn't a big deal, and told you not to worry, just take it slow."

After hearing this, the lady knew that Butler Qian must have something to do, otherwise he would not be waiting outside.

He hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, tidied himself up briefly, and went out.

"Go and ask Butler Qian to come in, and then make a pot of good tea for the head butler." The lady ordered.

Butler Qian is considered the most trusted person in the Duke's Mansion, and the lady has always treated him as a family member.

Butler Qian pushed the door open and entered the room. Seeing his wife, he smiled and bowed to greet her.

"How is Madam these days? How is the young master? Madam seems to be in good condition. If you need anything, please send someone to find me in the front yard."

Madam: "All is well, all is well. Mr. Qian, please sit down. But is there anything wrong?"

After Butler Qian sat down, he said to his wife, "There is something wrong, but it's nothing serious. Someone from General Zhang's mansion came to report at noon. Young General Zhang died for his country."

The lady was stunned after hearing this and didn't react: "Mr. Qian, who did you say died? General Zhang?"

Butler Qian: "It's General Zhang, the young general in General Zhang's mansion that Miss Xu went to for her first wedding."

The lady finally understood what was going on and hurriedly asked Butler Qian, "How could he die so suddenly and sacrifice his life for his country?"

Madam remembers that some time ago, this young general was clamoring to marry Xu Miao's elder sister.

How could he die so soon?

Butler Qian smiled and replied to his wife, "I also found it very strange after hearing it, so I sent someone to inquire about it."

"It's said that the young general went to suppress bandits nearby. During the suppression, he was accidentally hit in the back by a bandit. It exposed an old wound. After returning home, he began to vomit blood and died within two days."

"After hearing this, the Emperor sent the chief eunuch to the General's Mansion to offer condolences and bestowed upon the young general the title of 'Mighty Young General.' And so, he was determined to die for his country."

After hearing this, the lady sat there blankly for a while: "He's already dead, what's the point of having a title? Death is the greatest thing, and it's so pitiful."

Steward Qian was in no hurry to urge his wife. He waited for her to calm down for a while before continuing, "I wanted to ask you, Madam. Our Duke's Mansion must be going to pay our respects. The Duke is not at home. Is it convenient for you to go?"

"If Madam doesn't want to go, I can go."

It is not easy for Butler Qian to make the decision on this matter on his own, so he has to report it first.

After all, the Madam is the real master of the Duke's Mansion.

The lady frowned slightly. This matter concerned Xu Miao, so she would ask Xu Miao before making a decision.

"Uncle Qian, I understand. I'll have someone go to the front yard and tell you later. I'll ask Xu Miao if he wants to go. I want to take Xu Miao with me to the general's residence to pay my respects."

Butler Qian: "No rush, no rush. The general's funeral is still a few days away. We can go tomorrow."

After Butler Qian left, the lady called Xu Miao and said, "Ah Miao, that young General Zhang is dead. He was the young general you went to for the first wedding."

Xu Miao was also shocked when he heard that Zhang Chengyi was dead.

Xu Miao hadn't thought about Zhang Chengyi for a long time. After leaving the Zhang Mansion, he had nothing to do with her.

Xu Miao didn't need to spend too much time thinking about him, but Xu Miao calculated that Zhang Chengyi's body could still hold on for a while.

How could he die suddenly, and sacrifice his life for his country?

Seeing Xu Miao's confusion, the wife explained to him, "I heard from Butler Qian that the young general was leading troops to suppress bandits and was hit in the back. Not long after returning, he vomited blood and died."

Xu Miao now understood that with Zhang Chengyi's health, if he was well taken care of at home, he could still live for another year or two.

But leading troops to fight was a time-consuming and laborious task, and for Zhang Chengyi, it was a death warrant. Even if he hadn't been injured by the bandits, he wouldn't have survived for more than a few days.

Being injured only accelerated his death.

"Ah Miao, let me ask you, do you want to go to the General's Mansion to pay your respects? I do want to go, but you have to accompany me. Are you feeling bad?"

Xu Miao laughed after hearing this: "Madam, why should I be upset? They are all people who have nothing to do with me."

"If Madam hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten there was such a person as Zhang Chengyi."

"Ma'am, if you want to go, go ahead. I'll accompany you. It's no big deal."

Xu Miao didn't dare to let his wife go to the general's mansion to pay her respects alone.

The next morning, the lady and Xu Miao changed into plain clothes and got on the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

Escorted by Steward Qian and Commander Ye, he went to the general's mansion to pay his respects.

In the carriage, the lady half leaned on the seat and gossiped with Xu Miao about the affairs of the general's mansion.

"A Miao, don't you think Mrs. Zhang is going to regret it to death? Her son died just a few days later."

"I heard that the General's Mansion wanted to arrange a marriage for the young general, and Madam Zhang forced the young general to go on blind dates every day. Finally, the young general got tired of it, so he thought of leading troops to suppress bandits."

"Also, your elder sister Xu Mingzhu might end up in big trouble too."

"She has always used the General's Mansion as a backup. Now that the young general is dead, if she can't enter the Prince's Mansion, let's see how she will end up."

"Do you think the General's Mansion will regret divorcing you? If you had stayed in the General's Mansion, the young general might have been fine."

Having said that, the lady thought more and more that this was the case.

Panicked, he quickly changed his words and said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, God bless me, look at what nonsense I am talking about."

The lady looked at Xu Miao, who was sitting opposite her in the carriage, with a smile on her face: "If it weren't for the stupid divorce of the general, our A Miao would never have had the chance to go to the Duke's Mansion."

"Our A Yuan is also very lucky. A Miao was able to heal him in one go."

Seeing this, Xu Miao also smiled and said, "That's right, it's just that my wife and I have a deep bond. So, I'm staying in the Duke's Mansion."

"Madam, please sit down. You're prone to slipping if you're half-lying like this. You'd better sit up quickly."

My wife has been feeling lazy lately and doesn’t want to sit if she can lie down. It’s probably because she’s in her advanced pregnancy.

The lady sat up, took Xu Miao's hand, and said seriously: "A Miao will be beside me in a while. I don't think that blind man dared to bully you."

Madam, do you know the true faces of those people in General Zhang’s mansion? They really used all means to divorce your wife.

And that Zhang Ruyi is not a good person either. He only knows how to bully A Miao.

After a while, the few of them arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.

Outside the gate of the general's mansion, a white sail was hung high, and servants in mourning clothes were busy coming and going.

General Zhang was just seeing someone off at the door. When he saw the carriage from the Duke's Mansion, he stopped and stood waiting at the door.

Xu Miao helped his wife get off the carriage and saw General Zhang waiting in front of the carriage, chatting with Butler Qian.

General Zhang's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed helplessness and reluctance.

It is not a happy experience for anyone to see a loved one die, and at this time, General Zhang was just an ordinary father.

Holding back the grief in my heart, I bid farewell to my child.
