Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The next morning, when it was light, Bai Zhiyuan was confused for a moment after she woke up. She was not wrapped in a quilt, but Xie Yunsong's cape.

The aftereffects of the sweet wine yesterday were too strong, so she couldn't remember what happened afterwards. She only vaguely remembered that Xie Yunsong sent her back to the room, but she couldn't remember what happened after that at all.

She got off the ground, rubbed her dizzy head, and said to herself, "I must never drink so much again."

She walked out of the room, holding Xie Yunsong's cloak, and knocked on Xie Yunsong's door. After a moment, Xie Yunsong opened the door, and when he saw her, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Bai Zhiyuan was always perceptive and quickly noticed his abnormality. She handed the cloak back to him and asked, "Did anything happen last night?"

Xie Yunsong's eyes moved, thinking of the conversation last night, his eyes turned cold for a moment, and he said, "Nothing happened."

Bai Zhiyuan always felt that she had overlooked something last night. When she heard Xie Yunsong say this, she showed confusion in her eyes. Then she saw that Xie Yunsong had a cold look on his face. For a moment, she wondered if she had drunk with Cheng Beixiao last night and made him angry.

She sighed helplessly, "Why are you acting weird today? If it's because of my drinking last night, then I promise you that I won't be like this again." She then said softly and flatteringly, "I drank last night and felt dizzy when I woke up this morning. I won't drink anymore, okay?"

Xie Yunsong stopped looking at her and walked out, saying coldly as he walked: "It's up to you."

Leaving behind Bai Zhiyuan who was at a loss and Cheng Beixiao who was looking forward to the show.

Bai Zhiyuan shrugged and asked, "Did I do anything last night?"

Cheng Beixiao spread his hands and shook his head, "I went back to my room to rest early last night, I don't know what happened afterwards."

Bai Zhiyuan thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember anything. She simply stopped thinking about it and hurriedly caught up with Xie Yunsong.

"Xie Yunsong, wait for me."

Xie Yunsong seemed not to hear.

Bai Zhiyuan felt a little confused this morning, and she couldn't help but get angry when she saw this. She stopped and shouted, "Xie Yunsong! Stop right there!"

Perhaps sensing the anger in her tone, Xie Yunsong stopped. Bai Zhiyuan stepped forward, suppressed his irritation, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Yunsong turned around coldly and stared at her. After a moment, he looked away and asked, "Which one is the real you?"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xie Yunsong looked at her again, with a hint of hurt in his eyes. Bai Zhiyuan was startled, and then he said, "What am I in your heart?"

Bai Zhiyuan keenly realized that he must have said something out of turn after drinking last night, but what on earth did he say to make Xie Yunsong, who was usually calm and composed, lose control so much?

She was a little flustered for a moment, but the anger she had just felt had long since disappeared. She stepped forward and put her arms around his waist, saying, "Why do you ask that? After all this time, don't you know how I feel about you?"

Xie Yunsong said nothing. Bai Zhiyuan raised her head from his arms and looked at him. Xie Yunsong turned his head away and didn't look at her. Bai Zhiyuan raised her hand to turn his face, forcing him to look at her, and said word by word: "Since you are not sure, then let me tell you, I, Bai Zhiyuan, like Xie Yunsong, I really like him."

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his lips.

Xie Yunsong was stunned at first, then he reacted, with a hint of joy in his eyes. Bai Zhiyuan hugged him tightly again and said, "Now you know, right? Are you sure?"

Listening to her slightly aggrieved voice, Xie Yunsong blamed himself in his heart. How could he doubt her sincerity towards him based on a few words she said after drinking?

He lifted her face, and without further hesitation, he whispered, "Now I'm quite sure."

After saying that, he kissed her.

When the two came back again, everything was calm and there was no sign of any unpleasantness in the morning.

Cheng Beixiao hesitated to speak several times, and Bai Zhiyuan pretended not to notice. He naturally did not dare to ask Xie Yunsong. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said angrily: "Xie Yunsong, you are too easy to coax. You were taken down so quickly."

Bai Zhiyuan: “…”

Xie Yunsong glanced at him sideways, his eyes full of warning.

……

The days always pass by so fast.

During this period, the five of them were on the road, and even though they were exhausted, Bai Zhiyuan was eager to return home. They headed south, and the closer they got to the southern border, the warmer the weather became.

It has been more than a month since they left the northern border after the New Year, and today they are about to arrive in Wudu.

Bai Zhiyuan felt a little complicated. She knew that to reach the southern border, she had to pass through Wudu.

And Wudu was the fief of her maternal grandfather, King Jingyang.

She should have been happy to see her grandfather, but in her previous life, her father was imprisoned, her mother died of illness, and her brother died tragically. Her grandfather rushed back to Beijing but failed to stop all this. He also warned Bai Zhiyuan that the royal family was born cold and indifferent. If she didn't want to marry Qi Zeyi, he would ask the emperor to cancel the engagement for her and give her freedom. She could follow him to Wudu and stay away from the hustle and bustle of Shangjing.

But in her previous life, she still insisted on her own way and ignored her grandfather's advice, insisting on marrying Qi Zeyi. Little did she know that this love she thought of was actually a conspiracy from beginning to end.

It was her ignorance in her past life that killed her family. In this life, Bai Zhiyuan always feels guilty towards her grandfather because she carries the memories of her past life.

In fact, she had seen her grandfather perhaps many years ago. The last time they met in her previous life, her grandfather repeatedly told her not to trust others, to protect herself, and that if anything happened, she could come to Wudu to find him.

Unfortunately, he didn't listen at all and ended up dying a tragic death.

Apart from the last meeting in her previous life, she had only seen her grandfather when she was a child in this life. But now she was not really only fifteen years old, and when she faced her grandfather, she always had some guilt and regret from her previous life in her heart.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed, and Xie Yunsong realized that the closer they got to Wudu, the more melancholy Bai Zhiyuan became. Logically, she should be happy to see her relatives, but she was obviously more melancholy than happy.

The current King Jingyang, Bai Zhiyuan's maternal grandfather, is the late emperor's brother. After he was crowned king, he went to his fiefdom, Wudu. He had only two children in his life: Princess Duanhui and Bai Zhiyuan's uncle, Marquis Qingyuan.

Princess Duanhui married General Weiyuan, while Marquis Qingyuan had always loved music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and loved collecting antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and did not care about inheriting the title.

In terms of seniority, King Jingyang is the emperor's uncle, and naturally Xie Yunsong's elder. Perhaps in order to completely eliminate the emperor's concerns, King Jingyang asked to leave Shangjing and came to Wudu when the current emperor ascended the throne.

As they got closer to Wudu, Bai Zhiyuan became a little absent-minded. She didn't know what attitude to take towards her grandfather, but then she thought again, she was reborn, and her grandfather had no idea what happened in her previous life, so she just had to pretend that nothing had happened.

Everything is different in this life. Her parents are still alive, so why should she worry about things in her past life?

After thinking it through, Bai Zhiyuan suddenly became enlightened. Things from her past life always bothered her from time to time, sometimes making her even forget that this life was a brand new one.

Forget it. She stopped thinking about it. It was already a great honor to be able to see her grandfather and uncle in this life. Why should she let the things in her past life affect her mood?

Bai Zhiyuan was no longer melancholy, and her heart was filled with hope again. She met her grandfather and took Cheng Beixiao to the southern border to detoxify her brother. She still had a lot of things to do and could no longer be overly obsessed with the tragedy of her previous life.

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and said to Xie Yunsong, "Wudu is ahead, which was my grandfather's fiefdom. I think he has received the news and must be waiting for us. Let's go quickly."

Xie Yunsong was stunned, wondering why Bai Zhiyuan's mood changed so quickly.

He did not think much about it, and turned his head to Tianlin beside him and said, "Ride faster and make sure to reach Wudu before dark."

After saying that, the five of them whipped their horses and galloped towards Wudu.
