The fantasy of the past, the dream of glory and splendor of being a noble lady, has now shattered like bubbles and scattered in the dust of reality.
Tao Qingge stood at the crossroads of fate, looking back at the past with tears in her eyes. She found it hard to accept that after her rebirth, she would come to such a tragic end.
She cried and wanted to go home, seeking the long-lost warmth and shelter. However, the door of Tao's house was closed to her. Tao's father had already arranged servants to be on high alert and was determined not to let her set foot in the house.
"It's so embarrassing. You should go away. The Tao family doesn't have a daughter like you." Tao's father's words were cold and decisive, like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing Tao Qingge's heart.
From then on, this young lady who had never done housework began to run around and try every possible way to make money.
She tried embroidery, selling paintings, and even farming in the fields herself, just to earn a little money to make a living.
However, every time he earned hard-earned money, Bai Zimo would ruthlessly take it away.
He was like a crazy gambler who had long lost his mind. He always believed that he could make a comeback, but he fell into deeper quagmire again and again.
"Bai Zimo, wake up and stop gambling!" Tao Qingge cried, trying to awaken Bai Zimo's conscience, but he was like a possessed man and ignored her pleas.
Finally, in a fierce quarrel, Bai Zimo accidentally killed Tao Qingge. At that moment, his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
At the same time, another storm was quietly brewing in the capital.
The third prince's rebellion failed, and the Tao family was implicated for supporting the third prince.
Except for Song Jiao who was pardoned for her meritorious service in leading the troops, hundreds of people in the Tao family were beheaded as a public display.
On that day, the capital was flooded with blood, and the glory and splendor of the Tao family vanished into thin air.
Bai Zimo was locked up in a cell, surrounded by cold stone walls and iron bars. He looked at the sky outside the window, his heart filled with despair and regret.
He knew that his life was hopeless, so he chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide, ending this life full of sin and pain.
However, Song Jiao emerged from this storm.
She led the army for meritorious service and was canonized as a female general, her reputation spreading far and wide. She was dressed in armor, holding a long sword, and was valiant and invincible, becoming the patron saint of Dali.
Foreign enemies were frightened and no longer dared to invade Dali's territory.
Another two years passed, the foreign enemies were completely pacified, and Dali ushered in the long-lost peace and tranquility.
Song Jiao returned to the capital with Jiang Yao, carrying the glory of victory.
They rode tall horses, wore gorgeous battle robes, and were followed by well-organized troops, looking majestic and imposing.
The people of the capital lined the streets to welcome her. They cheered and applauded the invincible female general.
Once upon a time, they only knew that the Jiang family had a major general, but now, they have a deeper understanding that the Jiang family not only has a brave major general, but also a female general who is awe-inspiring!
Her name will be forever engraved in the long history of Dali and become a story passed down by future generations.
Inside the general's mansion, it was already late at night, and the moonlight was like water, filling the entire courtyard.
Song Jiao sat quietly in the room, her gaze passing through the dust of time and space and falling on Jiang Yao who was studying hard at the table.
On the table, a divorce letter lay quietly, as if telling an unknown past.
"This was what I asked of you. If I wanted a divorce, you would let me go, right?" Song Jiao's voice was calm and firm, and every word sounded as resounding as pearls.
Jiang Yao put down the book in his hand. It was a secret book of military strategy, but at this moment it seemed to have lost all its appeal.
His eyes fell on Song Jiao, who was dressed in white. The white dress was as white as snow, setting off her beautiful face and adding a bit of otherworldly temperament.
"Now that the Tao family no longer exists, where else can you go?" Jiang Yao's voice was filled with a subtle tenderness and concern. "If you're willing to stay, it's not impossible. Besides, mother and grandmother love you very much. They both hope that you can become the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family."
Song Jiao just looked at Jiang Yao calmly, her eyes were deep and mysterious, as if hiding countless secrets.
She requested this letter of divorce in order to give the original owner a free future.
She can choose to stay with Jiang Yao, or she can choose to leave and pursue her own dreams.
She was just fulfilling the original owner's wish and would not make any decisions for her.
Jiang Yao's brow furrowed slightly. He had been searching for answers, but he still couldn't solve the mystery. "I've always been curious. Who commissioned you? Why are you here? And why did you ask for a divorce?" This question had troubled him for two years and still gnawed at him.
Song Jiao simply smiled, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, refreshing and delightful. "You'll know soon." Her words were filled with mystery and anticipation, as if she were about to reveal a shocking secret.
"Then I'm really looking forward to it." Jiang Yao said, turned and left the room and walked towards the study.
His back was stretched out in the moonlight.
Song Jiao looked at Jiang Yao's departing back. He was indeed a good general.
She checked the progress of the mission and found it was 100% complete, so she said to Tuanzi beside her, "Tuanzi, let's leave the mission world."
As the words fell, a dazzling light flashed, and Song Jiao and Tuanzi's figures instantly disappeared from the room.
Tao Qingyue opened her eyes again, and the scene in front of her gradually became clear. Her gaze finally fell on the divorce letter on the table.
