Because Zhou Hanche was on the front lines, it was difficult for him to even write back, and he rarely had any contact with the original owner of the body.
Once again, the original owner wrote a letter to Zhou Hanche, which was discovered by the original owner's mother. The original owner's mother was naturally very angry. How could her daughter, whom she had raised with all her might, marry the son of a servant? Moreover, Zhou Hanche was a soldier, and no one knew when an accident might happen. She had married Han's father and lived in constant fear her whole life. How could she let her daughter be like her?
Han's mother secretly thought that she must make sure her daughter marries someone of equal social standing, someone with whom she can live a stable and peaceful life.
Knowing that if she loudly opposed it, Han's mother would definitely provoke her daughter's rebellious spirit and make her fight back to the end, she remained calm and pretended not to know anything.
A few days later, a letter from Commander Han's family arrived. Han's mother told the original owner that Han's father had said in the letter that Zhou Hanche had died in battle. The original owner naturally did not want to believe it, but the letter was written by Han's father, so how could it be false?
Heartbroken and disheartened, the original owner obeyed her mother's arrangement and married the son of the local mayor.
Zhou Hanche, who was at the front line, was very sad when he heard that the original owner had gotten married. He thought that he was indeed not good enough for the original owner, so he was inevitably distracted during the battle. He was unfortunately injured in one battle and rolled down into the valley. He was rescued by Feng Qingfen, a mountain woman who was passing by. Feng Qingfen helped Zhou Hanche to her home, but found that her parents had been killed. Feng Qingfen had nowhere to go, and Zhou Hanche felt that it was not safe to leave her there alone, so he took her back to the army.
The two spent their days and nights together, sharing life and death, and gradually developed feelings for each other. Zhou Hanche thought that although Feng Qingfen was not as beautiful or knowledgeable as Han Lingxi, only someone like her was suitable for him. He couldn't ask for too much, so he tacitly agreed that Feng Qingfen would be his wife. Therefore, everyone in the army trusted Feng Qingfen.
In fact, Feng Qingfen was a spy sent by the enemy. She killed the family in the mountains so that she could successfully enter the military camp. Once Feng Qingfen gained their trust, she could obtain a lot of useful intelligence and secretly deliver it to the enemy.
On one occasion, Han's father's troops planned a large-scale surprise attack, hoping to annihilate the enemy. Feng Qingfen secretly stole the operation plan, resulting in heavy losses for Han's father's army. Han's father and Zhou Hanche both died in this battle.
After the original owner married the mayor's son, her life was not good. After the marriage, he revealed his true nature, saying that he only married her for her grandfather's family business and spent his days going out to philander.
The original owner didn't like him at first, so she didn't care much. However, not long after the marriage, the original owner heard the news that Zhou Hanche was still alive. She felt that she had let Zhou Hanche down and became depressed and fell ill. When the news of Han's father and Zhou Hanche's death in battle came back, she couldn't bear the shock and her condition worsened. She passed away not long after.
The original owner's mother not only lost her husband but also her daughter, and lived in agony and self-blame every day, eventually going insane.
After absorbing the memories, Han Lingxi sighed. It really was a tragedy. Actually, she couldn't blame the original owner's mother. After all, she didn't want her daughter to live in constant fear, but her methods were too extreme.
It seems that this time, just as she guessed, she will probably have to go to the battlefield, firstly to prevent Feng Qingfen from revealing their plans, and secondly to avoid Han's mother's pressure to get married.
