GENERAL'S LADY

CHAPTER 4

AT NIGHT, SHEN JIN COMES TO HER ROOM AND SAYS TO THE GENERAL THAT SHE HAS GOT STOMACHE. HE THEN TAKES HER OUT FOR A WALK TO HELP HER IN  HER  DIGESTION.

SHEN JIN: " I CAN'T . I CAN'T. I CAN'T.  I FEEL SICK.  WHAT?  WHY DON'T YOU LET ME LIE ON THE BED? WHY DO YOU BRING ME OUT? "

CHU XIUMING: " DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU ARE STUFFED ?  SO I BRING YOU OUTTO TAKE A WALK  AND HELP YOU DIGEST.  LET'S GO. "

SHEN JIN: " I CAN'T. CAN YOU CARRY ME? "

CHU XIUMING: " WALK YOURSELF. "

SEEING HER WALKING , HE LAUGHS."

CHU XIUMING: " FASTER. "

SHEN JIN: " CHU XIUMING, SLOW DOWN. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  "

CHU XIUMING: " HOLD IT.  I WILL MANAGE TO LEAD YOUR WAY . "

SHEN JIN: " CHU XIUMING, SLOW DOWN! "

THEN THEY WALK ALL THROUGHT OUT NIGHT.

THE NEXT DAY,

CUTIE PIE.: " MY LADY,   YOUR MOTHER  SENT YOU A LETTER.  WHAT DOES SHE SAY? "

SHEN JIN: "  SHE SAYS EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT.  AND SHE TELLS ME TO LEARN NEEDLEWORK INSTEAD OF PLAYING AROUND ALL DAY SINCE I'M A WIFE NOW. THERE IS AN EMBROIDERY  PATTERN ATTACHED  TO IT.  I MISS THE DESSERTS SHE MADE. "

CUTIE PIE: " MY LADY,  WAIT FOR ME  FOR A WHILE.  LET ME MSAKE SOME FOR YOU. "[SHE LEAVES]

SHEN JIN: " OKAY. "

CHU XIUMING SUDDENLY NOTICES THE PATTERN ON THE PAPER SENT BY SHEN JIN'S MOTHER. AND TAKES A LOOK AT IT.

SHEN JIN: " YOU  HAVE CROSSED THE LINE!  WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY THING?  CHU XIUMING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  WHAT DO YOU MEAN? GIVE IT BACK TO ME. "

CHU XIUMING: " MY WIFE,   GET OUT OF THE TOWN WITH ME  NOW. "

SHEN JIN: " YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP  SOMETIMES? "

CHU XIUMING: " I AM NOT ASKING. IT IS AN ORDER. "

SHEN JIN: " WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO YOU? "

CHU XIUMING: " THIS IS IMPORTANT.  YOU HAVE TO GO WITH ME.  "

SHEN JIN: " IT HAS TO BE ME? "

CHU XIUMING: " OK. WHAT IS YOUR CONDITION? "

SHEN JIN: "  I WANT  TO SLEEP ON YOUR BED.  "

CHU XIUMING: " YOU..."

SHEN JIN: " I SAID I WANT TO SLEEP ON YOUR BED.  BUT NOT TO SLEEP WITH YOU.  YOU SLEEP ON THE COUCH,  AND I ON THE BED.  WE WON'T BOTHER EACH OTHER. "

CHU XIUMING: " DEAL. I'LL GET THE HORSE READY. "

HE THEN TAKES HER TO A SECRET CAVE. WHERE HE WENT EARLIER.

SHEN JIN:  YOU WERE ACTING SO MYSTERIOUSLY. I THOUGHT IT WOLD BE SOMETHING GOOD. IT'S AN OMINOUS  PLACE HERE.  "

SHE GETS SHOCKED AS HE OPENS THE SECRET DOOR.

SHEN JIN: " WILL I   BE THE NEXT AFTER HIS THREE WIVES TO BE BURIED ALIVE? "

CHU XIUMING: " FOLLOW ME DOWN THERE. "

SHE FOLLOWS HIM DOWN INSIDE. 

 SHEN JIN: " NO. I HAVE TO FIND A WAY OUT. "

HE SEES HER AND THEY BOTH MOVES FURTHER.

SHEN JIN: " LOCK OF THE FALLEN PAIR. "

CHU XIUMING: " YOU KNOW THAT? "

SHEN JIN: " BACK THEN,  MY FATHER DIDN'T LIKE ME AT ALL.  AND MY SISTERS ALWAYS LOCKED ME IN THE ROOM.   I HAVE SEEN  LOTS OF LOCKS IN MY PURSUIT  FOR FREEDOM.  IT IS SAID THAT A FAMOUS THIEF MADE THE LOCK.  HE FELL IN LOVE WITH  A YOUNG LADY FROM A RICH FAMILY . TO BE CLOSE TO HER,  HE SNEAKED INTO THE IMPERIAL PALACE  AT NIGHT.  AND STOLE THE LUMINOUS  GEMSTONES. , WHICH WAS THEN LOCKED IN A BOX . HE WANTED TO GIVE IT TO  HER.  BUT WHEN HE MET THE LADY AGAIN,  SHE HAD ALREADY DIED FROM SICKNESS.   HE THEN KILLED HIMSELF  AND DIED FOR LOVE.   DIED FOR LOVE. JUST IMAGINE IT.  MANY WANTED THE GEMSTONE  BUT NO ONE  COULD OPEN THIS LOCK. "
