REBIRTH OF A FARMING WIFE

Chapter 574: Chapter 580: Can’t Afford the Punishment

Su Wenyue saw a stretch of tents ahead, and thinking of the person she cared about inside, a warm expression surfaced on her face.

“Indeed, we have finally arrived,” Su Wenyue sighed. The journey from the Feng Family Manor here wasn’t very long—with just a few days’ travel by horse carriage, one could arrive. However, due to her eagerness to see Han Yu, the time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly, truly a situation where not seeing him for a single day felt like an eternity.

In truth, Su Wenyue was principally worried about Han Yu’s injury. The conditions at the military camp were harsh, and without proper care from a reliable person by his side, it wasn’t conducive to the recovery of his wounds, and she didn’t know the current state of his condition.

Thinking about this, Su Wenyue unconsciously quickened her pace and hurried toward the military camp, but when she and her servants reached the entrance, they were stopped.

Su Wenyue usually preferred to keep a low profile and didn’t like to make a grand entrance. Although she didn’t bring many people with her this time, each of them possessed unique skills—valuing quality over quantity, and they could be of great use when needed. Moreover, Su Wenyue had learned from previous lessons that traveling in a large group would make them an easier target for attention. She had also disguised herself to look like a commoner, and their journey had been smooth.

But for this reason, they were stopped at the entrance of the military camp: “Halt! This is a military stronghold, no place for idlers. Leave immediately, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Because Su Wenyue and her group were dressed in shabby clothes, the soldier mistook them for refugees from a nearby village. It wasn’t that this soldier was particularly arrogant—it was just that they’d been dealing with similar situations frequently, which inevitably led to some impatience, making his tone unpleasant.

“How can you be like that? Do you know who we are to talk this way? Madam, I won’t hold back if provoked!” Xiao Xi, unable to contain her anger, said. She was fine herself, but couldn’t stand Su Wenyue being treated this way. Her mistress was the General’s Wife, whose social status was not something a mere soldier could afford to neglect.

The soldier initially thought Su Wenyue and her companions were refugees because of their poor attire, but after a closer look, he noticed that despite their worn clothes, each person had an extraordinary demeanor, especially one farmer’s wife. Although she wore coarse clothes, her inherent beauty couldn’t be concealed. Just standing there quietly, she had a presence all her own. The soldier then realized that they were not ordinary villagers, but his words had been spoken, and he couldn’t take them back. Then he heard Xiao Xi’s words.

The soldier was a smart person; he wasn’t angered by Xiao Xi’s rudeness, and didn’t know her exact status to speak so boldly.

“Miss, I had no intention of making things difficult for you, but this place really is a military stronghold, and outsiders can’t get close. Please leave quickly,” said the soldier, who now had his reservations and thus softened his tone.

Xiao Xi wasn’t the type to argue out of spite; she was upset previously because of the soldier’s bad attitude, but since the soldier was now speaking kindly, her tone also became gentler.

“Young man, we are not just any outsiders. My lady is General Han’s wife. Knowing that the General was injured, she has come to take care of him. You must report our arrival immediately, do not delay my lady’s matters, for if the General blames you for this, you will not be able to bear it,” Xiao Xi said, hinting from Su Wenyue.

As soon as the soldier heard Xiao Xi’s words, his expression changed immediately. He had suspected that this group was not ordinary, but he didn’t expect that the lady had such a significant identity, being the General’s Wife, and specifically, the wife of the greatly respected General Han. Thinking back on his earlier rudeness, the soldier turned pale.
