Chapter 46: Are you willing to do what my concubine says?
Everyone was stunned.
After coming back to their senses, they all shook their heads in disbelief.
Yun Zhao sighed and went over to help Lieutenant General Lin up. "Brother-in-law, forget it. Don't kneel to him. I will find a way to leave."
Yun Meng stood aside, hands on her hips, and angrily said, "What on earth does Xie Jingmo mean? He can't marry her, and he can't leave her. Why does he really want others to waste their best years on him?"
Lieutenant General Lin pulled Yun Meng, gave Yun Zhao a look, and then the three of them returned to the pharmacy.
The crude makeshift pharmacy was not very sheltered from the wind.
Lieutenant General Lin looked at Yun Zhao's pale face, which was blown pale and his body was trembling in the strong wind.
"Zhao Zhao, I'm afraid... the general won't let you go easily."
Yunmeng frowned and immediately became anxious.
Yun Zhao found a seat for Lieutenant General Lin to sit down.
Lieutenant General Lin said calmly, "Zhao Zhao, do you still have any feelings for the general?"
Yun Zhao looked at Lieutenant General Lin.
Lieutenant General Lin asked, "Do you still like the general?"
There was a moment of silence in the pharmacy.
Yunmeng was anxious at that time. Lieutenant General Lin gave her a look, but Yunmeng pursed her lips.
Lieutenant General Lin sighed, "Girl, I understand you."
Yun Zhao lowered his eyes, feeling that he had let down many people.
"The general is a rare talent, it's normal for you to like him. Today, your brother-in-law wants you to speak from the heart. You can forget about the general's wife, but as for the concubine, are you willing?"
Yunmeng’s eyes widened immediately!
"The general is a prince, and he shares the same mother as the emperor. No matter how wary the people in the capital are of him, he will still have a good life after he hands over his military power. Our family...it's really too high to marry into the general's family. It's definitely not possible to become his wife, as we have Chen Tingting ahead of us.
But if I were to say so...if you are willing, even if it means sacrificing my leg, my life, and the friendship I have shared with the general over the years, I would definitely beg him to accept you."
Yun Zhao raised his eyes.
Under the candlelight, Lieutenant General Lin's eyes were full of worry.
"Don't feel any pressure. Good girls naturally like good men. A good concubine isn't a bad word. Besides—"
Lieutenant General Lin pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
But Yun Zhao understood it all.
Furthermore——
She followed Xie Jingmo for seven years.
Which man would want his wife to be with another man, let alone for a long seven years.
Thinking about this will become a thorn in my heart in the future.
Not to mention a happy marriage, even a harmonious life is probably a luxury.
These days, life is not easy for women and they are always inferior to men.
"Brother-in-law," Yun Zhao said softly, "I'm telling you a lie. I still like Xie Jingmo, just as you said. Seven years ago... Seven years ago, I was young and naive. I didn't understand the principle of not being able to cling to a wealthy family. Now that I've woken up from that dream, I don't want to indulge in that obsession anymore."
"I'm a woman who survived the battlefield. I'm not afraid of rumors, nor do I fear the future. I can't bear the hardship of living under someone else's roof, so let me try to go out and fight."
Yun Zhao was smiling when he said these words.
Lieutenant General Lin's eyes froze. "Are you sincere when you say these things? Are you just trying to be brave?"
Yun Zhao shook his head. "I'm sincere and not trying to be stubborn."
"Besides, the world is so big, there are many things worth doing besides love, right?"
Lieutenant General Lin laughed and said, "Okay, if you can let it go, then we can take the second path."
Yun Zhao: "Hmm?"
Lieutenant General Lin: "Zhao Zhao, my brother-in-law is a man. I understand men better than you do. Although the general exchanged you for the five thousand armors, he may still have a little pity for you in his heart."
Lieutenant General Lin glanced at the red marks on Yun Zhao's face and sighed, "Even if there is no pity, there must be a man's possessiveness towards a woman."
Yun Zhao and Yun Meng listened attentively.
"And to completely get rid of this possessiveness, there are two ways."
Yun Meng spoke quickly, "What?"
Vice Admiral Lin said: "Get a new love, and the old love will marry someone else."
Lieutenant General Lin looked at Yun Zhao's delicate features and said, "We can use both methods simultaneously to force the general to let you go."
Yun Meng looked confused, "The new love is Chen Tingting?"
Lieutenant General Lin was about to nod.
Yun Meng looked disgusted and said, "I don't think Xie Jingmo likes her that much."
Lieutenant General Lin hissed, and then looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao understood immediately.
She said, "Okay."
Yun Meng scratched his head. "What do you mean you understand? What do you understand? I didn't say anything just now, how come you understand?"
Yun Zhao smiled slightly, "Brother-in-law means that I should teach Chen Tingting to please Xie Jingmo and make him like Chen Tingting."
Yun Meng leaned back, "Let Yun Zhao teach? Wouldn't that be even worse? What should I teach you? To go out in the wind and rain all day long, or to wear men's clothes all day long and not be a woman at all? Or to be brothers with those soldiers?"
Yun Zhao pursed his lips.
Lieutenant General Lin glanced at Yun Zhao and sighed as well.
Yun Zhao is likable because of his personality and character. If you have to say, it's because he got the upper hand.
The woman was indeed not at all graceful and affectionate.
"I'll do it!" Yun Meng volunteered. "Isn't it just about pleasing men? I can do it!"
Yun Zhao's brows were furrowed with bitterness and hatred.
Yun Meng immediately hooked Lieutenant General Lin's arm and said, "Your brother-in-law is the evidence!"
Yun Zhao: “…” That…doesn’t make sense.
Yun Zhao: "What about the second one?"
Lieutenant General Lin smiled and said, "The second is that my old love is getting married. I have a brother in Lincheng named Duan Jiafei. He's a steady man and you can rely on him. I'll tell the general that your family has promised you to Duan Jiafei, and then he can come and take you away."
Yun Meng heard this and said, "Is it reliable? Don't end up like that guy, with a head full of cunning thoughts."
Lieutenant General Lin: "No, my brother's family all produced military generals. They grew up under the sticks and are the most disciplined."
Upon hearing this, Yun Meng immediately said, "Where's the person? Is Zhang good-looking? My Yun Zhao is so handsome, he can't be paired with an ugly one."
Lieutenant General Lin: "On par with the general."
Yun Meng nodded, "That's pretty good. What about his character?"
Lieutenant General Lin gave a thumbs up, but Yunmeng had more questions.
Lieutenant General Lin was completely helpless. "Madam, I'm planning for you how to get Zhao Zhao to leave as soon as possible, and you're trying to mess with me? It's not like we're getting married for real."
Yun Meng pouted, "If it's suitable, it's not impossible."
Lieutenant General Lin shook his head. "Come on, Duan Jiafei's family is not bad. His father is a garrison general, his mother received an imperial decree, and his brother is a meritorious military commander. I heard that his younger brother took the imperial examination this year and won first place. He is a favorite of the emperor and a candidate for the future son-in-law."
Yun Meng's eyes lit up when she heard this, "That's perfect!"
In Yunmeng's eyes, her sister is worthy of anyone.
Not to mention generals, even the emperor is worthy of her!
Lieutenant General Lin took his wife away immediately. A voice came from outside the tent.
"Why don't you let me speak?" Yunmeng's voice.
"What are you talking about? Can you think about it? Duan Jiafei's family background is not something we can get close to. It's just acting, why do you take it seriously?"
Yun Meng: "What if Duan Jiafei likes Yun Zhao?"
Lieutenant General Lin: "Absolutely impossible! Duan Jiafei is a self-respecting and calm man, a gentleman among men. He knows his limits!"
