Fortunately, Lin Zao was mentally prepared. Facing the gazes of a room full of burly men, she remained calm and walked steadily to Tang Jian's side, nodding to them.
She secretly held a grudge against Tian Bu'er, never expecting that someone who usually seemed so reliable would actually lead the way in teasing her.
He glanced at Tian Bu'er with a smile, and Tian Bu'er felt a chill run down his spine.
The others exchanged glances. Their general's attitude towards her was completely different; he was nothing like the cold-faced Yama he used to be!
It seems this general's wife is no ordinary person!
"Your humble servants pay their respects to the General's wife!"
The group bowed to Lin Zao in unison.
"Soldiers, please rise! There's no need for such formalities!"
Lin Zao had a good impression of these soldiers. Without their protection of Ganzhou, Ganzhou would not be as peaceful as it is today.
“Yesterday, it was those guys who went to Stone Town to rescue people, but unfortunately, that guy surnamed Yang got away. But I’ll settle the score with them eventually.”
Tang Jian's face was inscrutable.
"Madam Han is currently in Qingyuan, and Doctor Zhang is there too. Would you like to go and see her?"
Tang Jian was worried that Lin Zao would feel uncomfortable staying there. Most soldiers were rather rude and spoke without thinking, often making lewd jokes. He didn't want to scare her unintentionally.
Lin Zao didn't mind, but she really wanted to visit Madam Han, since she was the only one of similar age to her, and she should go and talk to her.
After saying goodbye to the group of rough men, Lin Zaojin went straight to where Han Qingyuan was staying.
The door was open, and before she even went in, she could hear Tang's mother's comforting voice.
"Don't be sad, Madam Han. From now on, you can stay here peacefully. As long as everyone is alright, that's all that matters!"
“Aunt Tang is right. I was just worried about my husband. It’s all my fault that he has become like this.”
A gentle, charming female voice, tinged with sadness, replied.
Lin Zao walked in a few steps and immediately saw the young lady sitting on the edge of the bed, her belly protruding, but her complexion looking quite good. She was talking to Tang's mother while looking at Han Qingyuan with concern.
It seems Han Qingyuan has taken good care of his wife.
Dr. Zhang was taking Han Qingyuan's pulse.
As soon as Lin Zao entered, Madam Han guessed her identity and quickly stood up to thank her.
"I am very grateful to Madam General for your care of my husband and me. Qingyuan and I have no way to repay you."
Lin Zao looked at her prominent belly and quickly went over to support her.
"Madam Han, please be careful. You are pregnant and it looks like you'll be giving birth soon. You need to take extra care of yourself. My husband and Brother Han are like brothers, so you don't need to be so formal."
Mrs. Han smiled sheepishly and sat down, following her lead.
“My maiden name is Li Xiaotao. You can just call me Xiaotao, General’s wife.”
“Mrs. Han, my wife Zao is right. From now on, you should treat us as family. This is your home.”
A thought suddenly flashed through Tang's mother's mind. She glanced at Han Qingyuan, paused, and continued,
"If you don't mind, I'd like to recognize Qingyuan as my half-son!"
She suddenly had the idea to adopt Han Qingyuan as her godson, because she couldn't bear to see the young couple all alone and helpless in this chaotic world without any relatives by their side.
The more Tang's mother thought about it, the better she felt it was. Her son and he were already as close as brothers. If this really happened, they would truly be as close as family!
Although Lin Zao was somewhat surprised, she also felt that Tang's mother's suggestion was indeed very good.
At this moment, Doctor Zhang had finished taking Han Qingyuan's pulse. Upon hearing Tang's mother's words, Han Qingyuan and his wife looked at Tang's mother at a loss.
