Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Chapter 9: Reality or Fantasy?

Translator: Sissy That Walk

An Rushuang followed him with her head down. She found him extremely silent and hardly smile today, which made him a little more distant compared to what he was like in daily life.

Was he injured in that battle...

She followed behind him and carefully looked him up and down. But she didn’t find anything unusual.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the camp. Du Yong was grooming the horse outside. Seeing the Major General coming back with a white horse, he hurriedly greeted him, “Major General, you really find another white horse! I think we shouldn’t take Zhang Jun’s words seriously. If the horse could keep its soul and be alive again, then there are so many horses died in the battle, could every one of them regain their lives?”

Yesterday they returned from the battlefield and Major General was injured seriously. But the enemies were beaten back dozens of miles away.

It should be something to celebrate, but Major General didn’t feel like eating anything. He held the stiff corpse of the horse for a whole night in the freezing desert.

Zhang Jun tried to comfort the general, so he said that this white horse had a spirit, and she would regain a new and better next life. Perhaps White Shuang also missed Major General and would reincarnate into another horse and serve him again.

If An Rushuang heard this, she would definitely give Zhang Jun a hard kick. If she could choose her fate, she would never be a horse carrying people from one place to another...

But these words were heard and believed by Meng Li as if they were like an awl piercing into his heart. He remembered that White Shuang’s look before she died. He couldn’t forget her eyes. It seemed that she had so much to tell him, but she didn’t have the time.

Du Yong did not expect that such a sensible general could lose his mind like this.

“Now, she is White Shuang.”

Meng Li put the reins on the horse piles that was previously used to place White Shuang, and then stepped into the tent.

Feeling like giving a punch on cotton, Du Yong could not be more grieved. He glanced at the white horse, which was too little to take onto the battlefield. Then, he was even more annoyed and decided to argue with Major General.

However, he saw Du Xiao, who was beheaded and hung on a pole like a flag a mile away from the camp.

Then he recalled five days ago when Major General was killing enemies like chopping vegetables. He couldn’t help but feel his back in a cold sweat. Looking at the tent, he didn’t dare to go inside.

An Rushuang was familiar with this place. She found a comfortable spot and lied on her belly. Perhaps this horse was still young and needed more sleep. Soon she fell into a sound sleep.

Meng Li came out of the tent and saw the white horse lying in the sand sleeping soundly with her four legs stretched straight. He couldn’t help smiling.

...

“Madam! Madam! It’s late in the morning. Time for breakfast!”

Breakfast? What breakfast?

Once Rushuang heard the word “breakfast”, a bunch of dry hay came to mind. She was annoyed and shook her head with her eyes closed. “No, I won’t, I won’t eat hay...”

Hearing this, Hong Yu laughed out. A servant girl holding a pile of clothes and basin behind her also could not help laughing.

“Oh my dear madam, wake up! Who dares to let your ladyship eat hay? Let’s tell Mammy Liu and punish him!”

Rushuang opened her eyes in confusion and saw Hong Yu. She quickly thought about the whole thing and asked, “When will Zhu Han come?”

Where is her stick? She had to have a stick to beat Zhu Han to death! It was not easy for her to come back!

Hearing this, Hong Yu got confused. She never heard about anyone named Zhu Han, so she giggled and asked, “Is Zhu Han a servant girl in our residence? Madam, do you want her to serve you today?”

Thinking about Zhu Han dressed like a servant girl, An Rushuang couldn’t help laughing out. Now she was completely awake.

She smiled and shook her head “Sorry, I got it wrong. Where’s Mammy Liu? Why you come alone?

Hong Yu looked nervous. She looked around and walked closer to the bed before whispering to Rushuang, “His lordship and her ladyship summoned Mammy Liu. The Old Lady is returning in several days. ”

Grandmother? How could it be?

Yesterday, An Rushuang also felt that something was wrong. Today, thanks to Hong Yu, she remembered that she still had a grandmother who hadn’t shown up yet.

Rushuang should not be blamed for forgetting this grandmother. In her previous life, her grandma came here only after the current emperor’s death.

Her mind was full of chaos and things became even more ambiguous. The total mess made her feel hard to breath.

Looking at Rushuang, Hong Yu also sighed, thinking that they had just had several nice days. Once the Old Lady arrived, they would not be as comfortable as they were now...

Never mind, no need to think too much now. After Rushuang was dressed up, she came to the Lady’s to have breakfast, accompanied by Hong Yu.

Just going out of the door, An Rushuang was hit by a hurried figure and stepped backwards. Fortunately, Hong Yu was behind her, or she must have fallen onto the ground!

“Hey! Look out!”

Hong Yu held Rushuang tenderly to check if she was hurt. Rushuang was already weak and she could not bear to be hit like this.

The little girl was a new face who was just hired to work here a few days ago, but Rushuang still recognized her. The girl quickly kneeled down immediately, crying, “Sorry, it was not intentional. Madam, please forgive me. I have an elderly mother...”

“Shut up!”

An Rushuang couldn’t stand this noisy servant girl. For fear that she would cry out again, she only asked, “What is your duty? Why are you in such a hurry?”

The little girl sucked and said, “I am Silver, I’m, I’m a kitchen maid. I heard the man delivering vegetables here said that...”

She looked around with wet eyes. It seemed too hard for her to squeeze one more word out.
