The General's Partner

2. Identity

Fei Yang touched his nose in shame. He never thought that the sick woman would wake up this soon considering how high her fever last night.
“I don’t…”
“How’s your body my lady?” Asked Mrs. Chu ignoring her son excuses. She smiled at the young woman who sat on the bed.
“Aunty, please call me Yu Yue. I am very grateful you saved me and took care of me while I was unconsious. My body is better now.” Answered Yu Yue in polite manner.
“Good, it’s good to have healthy body. It’s good to be young.” Praised the old lady. She liked the way Yu Yue call her. Despite being a noble lady, she had good manner. The young lady also didn’t despise their peasant life.
“Cough! Cough!”
Mrs. Chu closed her mouth with a blue handkerchief and cough slightly. Her son immendiately placed the bowl on the table and stroked her back to soothed the cough in worry.
“I told you to take a rest, but you still have to work in the kitchen.” Censured Fei Yang in soft tone.
“Mother is okay. We still have to cook lunch later.” Said Mrs. Chu. She knew her son couldn’t make anything consumable. She didn’t want him to suffer by eating random food.
“Aunty, if you don’t mind. Let me cook for the lunch. I still can make some simple dish. You can rest assure.” Yu Yue got up from the bed and started to make up the bed.
“But…”
“It’s okay aunty… I haven’t do anything to thank Chu Fei Yang’s help. At least let me pay for my accomodation while stay here.” Said Yu Yue cuting Mrs. Chu objection.
“Good! Good! You can stay as long as you want…”
Yu Yue smiled gratefully at the old lady. She smirked at Fei Yang in challenge posture after Mrs. Chu turned around. His mother had agree to let her stay, what could the son do to stop her?
Fei Yang who dissatisfied of his mother decision was throwing a sharp look at Yu Yue. He needed to kicked this lady out of their house as soon as possible.
Chapter 2

Mrs. Chu turned around and told Yu Yue to have breakfast before she left her room. FeiYang was looking at the young woman before walked out and closed the door. He afraid the noble lady like her would despise their simple meal. But what could he do? Their family situation didn’t allow him to honor the guest.
Yu Yue smiled sadly at the closed door. She took the porridge and drank it without any complain. She used to having simple meal while in the middle of the war. It was lucky enough to have two meals on time when the situation was bad. They often went hunting and roast the game to fulfill their stomache. Han Yue would pick some wild vegetable and fruit and cooked them in simple way. So, she wasn’t being wronged by eating bland porridge.
