The General's Wife Is in Trouble Again

On their wedding night, in the General's residence, Xiao Yi stumbled into the bridal chamber in his bright red wedding robes. He looked at the woman sitting on the bed, then straightened up and smoothed his clothes. He poured himself a cup of water, rinsed his mouth, and slowly walked over to sit beside the bed. After gathering his thoughts, he reached out and lifted the young woman's veil. Xiao Yi froze. He had never expected her to be so stunning.

Seeing that she was a little shy, Xiao Yi gently lifted her hand and held it tightly.

“Wanwan, there isn't much in this world I care about or feel attached to. I know you don't like me, or perhaps you resent me, but I still kept you here. I...”

A small hand covered his mouth. “Why say all that on our wedding night? Let's make a good life together from now on. You won't be alone anymore. You'll have me!”

Xiao Yi stood up and knelt on one knee before her. His gaze was firm and passionate. “I, Xiao Yi, swear that I'll protect and love you for the rest of my life, until my final breath. I will never let anyone bully you. You'll always be the happiest woman in the whole world, Si Wanqin, beholden to no one's expectations.”

After the wedding:

“Father, Mother stole my candy again.” The little child wrapped their arms around Xiao Yi's leg, their face scrunched up.

“Your mother is still young. You should indulge her a little. Father will buy you some more!”

“General, Madam poisoned the prime minister's wife and left her mute. The prime minister is in the main hall demanding an explanation from Madam!”

“That's outrageous!” Xiao Yi shouted angrily.

The maid who had delivered the message trembled with fright.

“Go get my saber at once! Let's see if that old fool dares bully my Wanwan!”
