GENERAL'S LADY

CHAPTER 6

IN THIS  CHAPTER, CHU XIUMING SAVES SHEN JIN AND COVERS HER .  HE KISSES HER TO GIVE BREATH.

CHU XIUMING: " WAKE UP. WAKE UP. "

SHE WAKES UP.

SHEN JIN: " WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME WHILE I WAS DRUNK?   WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?  SAY IT. "

CHU XIUMING: " DON'T GET ME WRONG.  YOU WERE DROWNING.  I DID THAT TO SAVE YOU. "

SHEN JIN: " WHO KNOWS . NO ONE ELSE KNOWS  YOU WANTED TO DIVORCE ME .  EVEN IF YOU DID SOMETING,   NO ONE WOULD KNOW.  CHU XIUMING, LISTEN,   WHEN I GO BACK TO THE CAMP ,  I WILL TELL THEM EVERYTHING . I WILL LET YOUR SOLDIERS KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.  "

CHU XIUMING: " YOU.  CAN YOU JUST ACT LIKE A LADY AND BEHAVE YOURSELF? "

SHEN JIN: " WHEN DID I NOT BEHAVE?  YES, I'M NOT LIKE  A  PROPER LADY. SORRY TO LET YOU DOWN.  I'M LIKE  THIS BECAUSE  YOU MADE ME.  YOU MADE ME HOMELESS, AND I CAN'T EITHER STAY IN YOUR MANSION NOR YOUR CAMP. YOU THINK I CAN JUST GO HOME   WITH A DIVORCE CERTIFICATE?  IF MY MOTHER KNOWS... RIGHT  IF SHE KNOWS,   SHE WILL BE DEVASTATED.   AND MY FATHER WILL ALSO BE DISAPPOINTED AT ME.  AND MY SISTERS,   THEY WILL LAUGH AT ME AND BULLY ME.  HOW WILL THEY SEE ME  AFTER THEY KNOW THIS?  I CAME ALL THIS WAY TO MARRY  YOU AND  YOU ARE ONLY  RELIANCE  I GOT.   BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE  MEAN TO ME AND WANT TO DIVORCE ME?  AT LEAST YOU CAN GIVE ME A REASON.  WHY?  "

CHU XIUMING: " I'VE MADE UP MY MIND, AND IT'S SETTLED.  IF YOU ARE AFRAID,  I CAN GO BACK WITH YOU AND TELL YOUR PARENTS MYSELF THAT YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING  WRONG  AND IT'S MY FAULT. "

SHEN JIN: " YOU ARE JUST SAYING  AND TRYING TO SOOTHE ME . I DON'T BELIEVE IT?  "

CHU XIUMING: " I PROMISE YOU.   AS LONG AS  I CAN DO IT.  "

SHEN JIN: " YOU MEAN IT? "

CHU XIUMING: " YES. I PROMISE. IT'S GETTING DARK . WE HAVE TO GO. "

SHEN JIN: " I'M TOO TIRED.  CAN YOU CARRY ME?  "

CHU XIUMING: " OK. "

HE THEN TAKES HER TO HIS TENT WHO IS ASLEEP.  HE PUTS HER ON THE BED BY BLINDFOLDING HIS EYES. HE REMOVES AFTER THAT AND LEAVES HER IN THE TENT.

CHU XIUMING: " IT'S THE END OF MY HELP .  "

CHU XIAYUAN: " GENERAL,   GENERAL. "

HE THEN SHOWS A HAND GESTURE TO XIAYUAN TO LEAVE.

THE NEXT MORNING, IN THE GENERAL CHU'S MANSION, CUTIE PIE TALK TO HERSELF.

CUTIE PIE: "  SHE IS BIT A CRAZY AND IT'S HARD F0R HER TO GET BULLIED,   BUT I'M NOT WITH HER THIS TIME. HOW IS SHE DOING?  ONLY A FEAST CAN EASE MY MIND.  I HAVE TO FILL MY STOMACH  INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT HER. "

SHE GOES TO KITCHEN AND CHATS WITH THE LADY SERVANT QING QIU.

CUTIE PIE : "  QING QIU,  MAKING STEAMED BUNS?   HURRY . HURRY."

THE LADY SERVANT: " I'M NOT MAKING BUNS.  I'M MAKING BIRTHDAY NOODLES FOR THE GENERAL .  "

CUTIE PIE: " BIRTHDAY NOODLES?  GENERAL'S BIRTHDAY IS COMING? "

THE LADY SERVANT: "  YES,  8TH OF THIS LUNAR  MONTH.  THE GENERAL WON'T BE BACK FOR HIS BIRTHDAY. SO WE WANT TO MAKE NOODLES FOR HIM. AND SND THEM TO THE CAMP. "

CUTIE PIE: " SEND THEM TO THE CAMP? QING QIU,  I CAN SEND THEM FOR YOU. "

THE LADY SERVANT: " AIYA, IT WILL BE  A BUMPY RIDE. I WILL FEEL TERIBLE  TO LET YOU SEND IT."
