The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

It was late summer and the weather was still hot. In the bathing pool on the back hill of Taifu Mansion, Empress Yuan was sitting by the pool, sweating all over and her face was flushed.

"Empress, do you feel comfortable with my service?" The man emerged from the water, his lips bright red, water droplets sliding across his wheat-colored skin, and the muscles on his arms and chest demonstrating his strength.

He is a student of the Taifu Mansion. Not only is he strong and skilled in martial arts, but he is also good at studying. However, he currently lacks an opportunity to shine.

The queen noticed this man a few days after she returned to her parents' home. In fact, she was very satisfied with the man's performance.

It has been a long time since I felt the joy of being a woman.

However, the queen did not answer the man, but raised her foot slightly and stepped on the man's shoulder.

After a while, the sound of water started again.

There were footsteps outside the bath, and the queen asked the people outside in a hoarse voice: "If I remember correctly, there is a big happy event in Zhenbei Marquis's mansion today. Did Zhenbei Marquis return on time?"

"The Marquis still hasn't come back. I went out of the city gate and walked ten miles forward, but still haven't seen any trace of the Marquis." The servant sent by the Second Madam ran back and said, panting.

Today is the wedding day of Chu Hui and the young master of the Liu family.

According to Chu Zhen's letter, he should have been home yesterday, but they waited all night and Chu Zhen never came back.

Before daybreak, the Second Madam sent two servants to inquire outside the city gate, but now there is still no sign of him.

The Second Madam didn't sleep much last night. Her eyelids have been twitching since she woke up early, and she is even more restless now.

"Continue to wait outside the city gate. Tell me as soon as there is any news about the Marquis." The Second Lady's voice couldn't help but become heavy.

Guests arrived one after another. The second wife took a deep breath, fixed her makeup, and with a smile on her face, went to the front to greet the guests and invite them to eat and drink.

The dowry had already been carried to the Liu family this morning and it had not been completed yet, and the wedding procession from the Liu family had already arrived.

Chu Heyi naturally came to watch the wedding of his first sister. As the crown prince, Xie Lin didn't have to come, but for Chu Heyi, he still came along.

Because of his arrival, not only the people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion but also the guests felt much more restrained.

Chu Heyi saw that the sun was already at its zenith, but her father still hadn't returned. She couldn't help but feel anxious. She grabbed Xie Lin's arm and unconsciously used force.

Xie Lin held her hand and comforted her: "I have sent people to the road in the direction of Yizhou City this morning. No matter what the situation is, there will be a result soon."

Chu Heyi nodded.

The bride enters her husband's house and greets the groom at dusk, so the groom has to take the bride away shortly after arriving.

But Chu Zhen hadn't come back yet, so the second wife was thinking of waiting for Chu Zhen to come back and see her daughter off.

The atmosphere, which should have been cheerful, became a little tense and anxious because of the waiting. Finally, Chu He felt that it was getting late, so she took a deep breath, stood up, made the decision, and asked Chu Hui to go out.

She said, "You will return home in three days. Then you can come back together and reunite with your father."

Chu Hui nodded, put on the veil, and was led to the door by the matchmaker and the maid, and then carried into the sedan chair by Chu Ren.

When the second daughter of the Chu family left home, she would become the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. The second wife couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

There were loud gongs and drums and blasting firecrackers, it was very lively.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was marrying off his daughter, and this girl was the Crown Princess's sister. Both sides of the street were crowded with people watching the fun, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Chu Hui couldn't help but lift a corner of her veil and peek out secretly. She saw the crowded people and they were so happy to see how lively they were.

Now the roads in Shengjing City are all paved with cement. The roads are wide and flat, making them very easy to walk on.

Passing by some rice fields, the rice has already eared and is particularly plump and heavy, hanging there, seemingly glowing in the setting sun.

Chu Hui retracted her gaze, lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, lowered her veil, and tightly grasped the wedding fan in her hand. She thought to herself, "Today is my big day. Father will definitely come back. Even if not for my big day, he must come back for the rice that is growing well in the city. As a general who has protected Daqi for decades, father should see such a beautiful scene, not for anything else, but because father deserves it."

After the bride was taken away, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion gradually became deserted. After the guests were served dinner, the sunset had already set behind the top of the mountain.

Chu Heyi has not returned to the palace yet, Xie Lin is still in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and the thousands of guards brought by Xue Jinfei are waiting outside the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

The servants were cleaning up the mess after the wedding. The Second Lady didn't want to move. She and her family, young and old, waited in the front hall for news from Chu Zhen.

After the sun went down, the moon had risen. The moonlight was like frost, covering the ground and unexpectedly cool.

Even if Chu Zhen couldn't get back on time, he should have sent someone to inform us in advance.

There were footsteps outside, and the whole family of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion stood up immediately and looked outside the door, but the one who came back was the servant who followed to Liu's house.

"The Liu family has already completed the ceremony," said the servant.

From then on, when Chu Hui returned home, the servants no longer called her "Miss" but "Auntie".

It should have been a very happy thing, but no one was happy.

After the Second Madam gave the reward, the servant left. Not long after, footsteps were heard outside again. Everyone was too lazy to get up, and it turned out that the people who came back this time were the guards sent by Xie Lin.

Chu Heyi almost instinctively grabbed Xie Lin's wrist, and couldn't help but hurt Xie Lin.

Xie Lin glanced at her, held her hand, and gently comforted her. Then he asked the guard, "Have you seen the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

The guard was silent for a moment, and then he said, "To reply to His Royal Highness, the Marquis of Zhenbei died on his way back."

Five thunder strikes!

Everyone in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion heard the guard's words. The guard's words were very common and ordinary, without any difficult words, but they had a feeling they didn't understand.

Chu Zhen has been guarding the northern border for decades. Although his right leg is lame, he is still alive and well.

He had finally retreated from the battlefield in the northern border, and was only going to the town of Yizhou to suppress a "war" that had not yet been brought to the surface. However, after his success, he died on the way back to Beijing?

The guard continued, "The team transporting the body of the Zhenbei Marquis is still ten miles away from reaching Shengjing City. I don't know the specific circumstances at the time and how the Zhenbei Marquis died."

The second wife stood up slowly, her vision went dark, and she fell backwards. Fortunately, she was supported by Chu Ren.

But her dizziness lasted only for a moment. When she came to her senses, she shouted, "Prepare the horses!"

The coachman prepared the horses, and the Second Lady rode out of the gate of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion without saying a word. No matter whether Chu Zhen was alive or dead, she wanted to go and see for herself.

Chu Heyi immediately broke free from Xie Lin's hand and rushed out on horseback. Seeing this, Chu Ren, Chu You, Chu Lu, Chu Xin and others immediately jumped on their horses and chased after the second lady.
