Chu Chu swayed her plump waist wildly, keeping a close eye on General Ge.
General Ge did not disappoint Chu Chu's expectations. When he saw Madam Ge sitting somewhere with her personal old nanny, he went over and removed the old nanny.
Chu Chu: [The show's about to begin, wanna livestream?]
Qiao Zhen: [Okay, I'll open the visual channel.]
"Husband, my eyes are a little sore. Can I rest my head on your arm for a bit?" Qiao Zhen pulled Pan Zhao's arm over and placed it on the table, then rested her head on his arm, closing her eyes to look at the images in her mind.
After General Ge removed the old nanny, only he and Madam Ge remained in that area, but his words were still somewhat ambiguous: "I told you not to disturb Pan Zhao, do you really want everyone's hard work to be ruined?!"
Madam Ge simply looked at General Ge with a silent gaze, then curled her lips in a sneer and said, "Everyone's hard work?" She picked up a cup and smashed it at General Ge. "That's my hard work! You all shout about righteousness but do things that are worse than pigs and dogs! Is this your righteousness? Heaven is watching what people do. I'm waiting for you to go to hell! Even the eighteenth level of hell can't tolerate you. You deserve to be left to wander the earth, never to see the light of day, to be tortured by the sun every day, over and over again."
General Ge also frowned, and it wasn't hard to see the guilt on his face. "I had my reasons back then. If I hadn't been forced to do it, why would I have done such a thing?"
Madam Ge let out a series of mournful laughs, "Was it not because of Tao Ji that you so readily abandoned our son? No, he is not your son, do you hear me? His surname is Pan, not Ge! You can't even give him a surname, you are not worthy to be his father!"
“My son, he should have been the wealthiest young master in the capital, with the Li family protecting him in front and the Ge family covering his retreat. But look at him now! Look at him! He can’t even read, and he married a country bumpkin! He should have been the most noble young master in the capital, and he should have married a well-educated and virtuous lady. His life should have been peaceful and smooth!”
"You are devils! Why did you take away my son and then steal his entire life of peace and happiness?! Tao Ji is the culprit!"
General Ge slapped Madam Ge across the face. "You'd better swallow back what you said today, or I won't hesitate to strangle that brat with my own hands!"
Madam Ge stared wide-eyed at General Ge, but she quickly regained her composure. "General, in your life, no matter how much territory you've protected, it can't outweigh the crimes you've committed. Some people are innocent; let's leave it to fate. I don't believe that evil can live a thousand years; it can find peace after death."
"squeak."
General Ge: "Who?!"
Chu Chu wiggled her chubby waist as she emerged from the bushes.
General Ge immediately lowered his guard and looked at Madam Ge, "You should be glad that it wasn't this beast who came out today, but Old Man Yan. You'd be ready to collect your son's corpse. He's already made a fortune living so many years."
Qiao Zhen rested her head on Pan Zhao's arm, turning her head so that the back of her head faced Pan Zhao, feeling a tightness in her chest.
Pan Zhao was the son of General Ge and his wife. General Ge may have sent Pan Zhao away for some reason. General Ge wished Pan Zhao would die sooner, and his wife also disliked Qiao Zhen as her daughter-in-law.
But what about the pattern of the descendants of King Changzhan on the shoulder of Queen Pan Zhao, and the jade pendant of King Changzhan's wife?
One woman stands out throughout the entire story: Tao Ji. If we speculate on the plot, Tao Ji is likely General Ge's ideal woman. Pan Zhao also bears the mark of a descendant of King Chang Zhan, suggesting that General Ge might have Pan Zhao impersonate King Chang Zhan's son. The ideal woman could be either King Chang Zhan's wife or Tao Ji. Whether King Chang Zhan's wife and Tao Ji are the same person remains to be verified.
After Qiao Zhen and Pan Zhao led the little pony Chu Chu back home, Qiao Zhen pulled Pan Zhao back into the house. She hugged his strong waist, feeling both heartache and sorrow, but she couldn't show it. "Husband, you'll come back safely, won't you?"
Pan Zhao also hugged Qiao Zhen, "Yes, I will. I used to have no worries, but now I have you and the baby. Both of you are my precious treasures. When people have worries, they want to live longer. You and the baby are my life."
Qiao Zhen buried her face in Pan Zhao's chest and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, you must come back safely, or I will marry someone else and make your child call someone else 'Dad'."
Pan Zhao's anger surged again, a burning, swelling rage churning in his chest. "I'd rather die than let you live!"
"???" Qiao Zhen's lips twitched. Pan Zhao, that big oaf, could only be sweet for three seconds. She said in a soft, aggrieved voice, "So you must come back safely."
Half a month later, Qiao Zhen moved into General Ge's mansion as an embroiderer, while Pan Zhao followed General Ge and prepared to launch an attack on Lian Kingdom.
Qiao Zhen would occasionally let Chu Chu wander around General Ge's mansion. Everyone loved it because it was a round little colt. Madam Ge, for reasons unknown, also allowed Chu Chu to roam freely in her courtyard.
Chu Chu did indeed uncover many exclusive scoops: Tao Ji and Princess Chang Zhan were not the same person. Tao Ji was Princess Chang Zhan's concubine, but Prince Chang Zhan was a man devoted to Princess Chang Zhan but ruthless to others, so Tao Ji was destined to suffer heartbreak.
Tao Ji was initially despondent, but later her admirer, now General Ge, asked King Changzhan for a reason to live.
King Changzhan then assigned Tao Ji to personally serve his pregnant wife. The wife was a kind-hearted woman, and she gradually enlightened Tao Ji, causing their relationship to deepen.
