Chapter 483: After a Woman Disguised as a Man is Exposed 14
When the two were making love, General Wei promised to marry her and make her his wife.
Although men's words cannot be trusted at this time, General Wei treated her sincerely at that time and never thought of making her a lowly concubine. At least she should have the status of a concubine.
So he kept it a secret and didn't tell his family, thinking that if he won the battle, after returning to the capital, he would ask the emperor for an imperial edict based on his military achievements, which would also enhance Xu Shanshan's status.
However, something unexpected happened. General Wei, who was far away in the northern border, had no way of knowing the news that Xu Shanshan's family was sentenced to exile.
Fortunately, the two of them left a token at that time. Now that Xu Shanshan came with the token, General Wei learned that she had arrived in the northern border and was still suffering in the bitter and cold place of Ningguta.
After much thought, he decided that it would be most appropriate to let Chu Yuan handle this matter. First of all, she was his personal guard and was not bound by military rules. In many cases, it would be more convenient for her to do things.
Besides, as a woman, it would be much better to let her handle this matter than to send a grown man.
So we have the current scene. There are packages of various sizes hanging on Chu Yuan's horse's back. These are all supplies that the general paid for with his salary. She went to the nearby town early this morning to buy them.
Originally, according to the general's intention, he wanted to bring Xu Shanshan and her family out of Ningguta and settle them in a town near the military camp, just like in the previous life.
But the situation in this life is different. Now the military supervisor is also in the military camp. If he breaks the rules because of Xu Shanshan, given Shao Yunmu's style of doing things, he will definitely be reported to the court after the army returns to the capital.
So this plan was temporarily shelved, and Chu Yuan was only asked to send more daily necessities over, and at the same time, to take care of the managers in Ningguta and ask them to be more accommodating to Xu Shanshan's family in their daily lives.
You see, men are so fickle.
In their eyes, nothing is more important than their own future. Even a woman who is pregnant with his child has to give in to the man's future.
This is also the sadness of being a woman in ancient times, betting your entire life on a man's sincerity.
Chu Yuan sighed as he rode his horse towards Ningguta.
Although the army was stationed in the northern border, it was still some distance away from Ningguta. Chu Yuan braved the cold wind and traveled for most of the day before finally arriving at the place where the exiled prisoners were held.
When they set out, General Wei gave her his token. Chu Yuan was wearing military clothes, so she easily met the manager here.
"I wonder what instructions this gentleman has." The steward was unsure of her identity, so he was respectful in his words.
"I can't be called a personal guard, sir. I'm just a personal guard of General Wei." When you go out, you give yourself an identity. The title of personal guard always sounds more impressive than a private bodyguard.
"I am here on the orders of General Wei to see a prisoner held here and give her some daily necessities."
Hearing that it was General Wei's order, the steward obeyed without hesitation: "I don't know which prisoner you want to see, I will invite him over right away."
"Xu Shanshan, I wonder if you have heard of her name."
As for Xu Shanshan, the manager naturally knew about her. She was not a simple person. When thinking about the child in her belly, the manager seemed to suddenly understand something.
If it was really as he guessed, then this person must not be offended.
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it. She lives in the room inside. Do you think I should call her over or...?"
Chu Yuan waved her hand and said, "Just take me there directly." So she followed the steward, walked about a few hundred meters inside, and stood at the door of a room.
As for the living environment, it is definitely not that good. Several prisoners are crowded in one room, which is just a place to sleep.
Chu Yuan took out a silver note from his bosom and stuffed it into the steward's hand: "According to General Wei's intention, a separate room should be arranged for Xu Shanshan, and her mother should be asked to live with her. Otherwise, there will be too many people and it will hurt the baby in her belly."
The steward carefully put away the banknotes and said, "Of course, of course. I'll arrange it right away."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Yuan reached out to stop him: "Also, the heavy labor of the exiles is definitely unbearable for a pregnant woman like her. If she accidentally hurts the child..."
Chu Yuan's focus in her words was on the baby in Xu Shanshan's belly. The manager was not stupid, so of course he understood her implicit expression: "Understand, understand."
After the steward left, Chu Yuan pushed the door and walked in.
This batch of newly arrived exiles were all working outside at the moment. Xu Shanshan, for some unknown reason, was resting in the house at the moment.
"Xu Shanshan, these are the things General Wei asked me to deliver."
Chu Yuan brought a lot of things in big and small bags, including cotton-padded clothes and quilts to keep warm, grains and pastries to fill her stomach, and some daily necessities. There was even some loose change in the bags so that she could manage people.
Again, the child is innocent.
Especially after experiencing Changxun’s events in the previous world, Chu Yuan could understand this even more.
So no matter what grudges Chu Yuan has with Xu Shanshan, they will be settled one by one after she safely gives birth to the baby in her belly.
But seeing these things, Xu Shanshan's face was not very good: "The general just asked you to send something to me? Didn't he say when to pick us up?"
Chu Yuan adhered to the attitude of being impartial and impartial: "The military supervisor sent by His Majesty is living in the military camp at this time. The general cannot make any mistakes at this time, so he can only ask me to send some things to you.
But don't worry, I have already arranged for the stewardship here. I will arrange a separate room for you, and I won't assign you any hard labor in the future. Just think of it as taking care of your pregnancy here."
Hearing that the general had not forgotten her, but was unable to take her away due to circumstances, Xu Shanshan's expression finally improved a little, and she began to feel like inquiring about Chu Yuan's identity: "Are you... General Wei's subordinate?"
Chu Yuan didn't want to say more to her: "I am General Wei's personal guard. Military affairs are complicated. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back to the barracks."
"Hey," seeing her turn around and about to leave, Xu Shanshan quickly called out to her, "Did the general say when he would come to see me?"
Chu Yuan shook his head: "The war has been intense recently, and the general doesn't even have enough time to sleep every day. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to come here in person, but the general has instructed that I will send some supplies every once in a while."
Chu Yuan didn't say anything more, he just walked away with big strides.
Perhaps it was the remaining consciousness of the original owner that was at work. When she faced Xu Shanshan, the anger in her heart was somewhat difficult to control.
That was hatred accumulated by the blood of countless people. Chu Yuan could fully understand it. If she hadn't been concerned about the life that had not yet been born, with her usual style of doing things, Xu Shanshan would have become a dead soul under her sword by now.
