In front of the gate of the General's Mansion, a pair of majestic stone lions seem to be guarding the mansion.
There is a gold-edged plaque hanging on the lintel, with the three characters "General's Mansion" engraved on it, with powerful writing and extraordinary momentum.
In the General's Mansion, the courtyard is deep and lined with green trees.
The exquisite pavilions are arranged in a well-proportioned manner, with winding corridors and high eaves.
The general's mansion is like a small city, full of majesty and solemnity.
In this mansion, the general's majesty is everywhere.
Each soldier has a tall posture and firm eyes. They are wearing armor and holding spears. They stand like sculptures in every corner of the mansion, demonstrating the authority of the general.
When Shu's mother entered the general's mansion, the soldiers would immediately straighten their bodies and not look away.
Even a group of well-trained soldiers felt unable to move in this mansion, as if suppressed by an invisible force.
Shu's mother looked at these people with awe in her heart.
She held Shu Zhihan's hand and walked in slowly.
The scene inside the door is even more amazing. A huge stone staircase leads to the main hall, with a row of ancient pines on both sides, tall and green, as if guarding the interior of the mansion.
The sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the pine needles, forming mottled light and shadow.
A breeze blew by, bringing a light fragrance of flowers, which was refreshing.
Shu's mother and Shu Zhihan walked forward slowly, taking every step carefully, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility and solemnity here. Their footsteps echoed in the empty mansion, adding a bit of mystery and beauty.
"Miss, you are back."
Shu Zhihan heard Mi Yue's voice coming out, but she didn't see anyone yet.
There was something in her heart, and she knew that Mi Yue must be hiding in a corner, wanting to give her a surprise.
She smiled slightly, slowed down, and carefully felt the atmosphere around her.
There was a faint fragrance in the air, which seemed to be emanating from the flowers in the courtyard.
The sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
A breeze blew by, and the leaves swayed gently, as if they were telling some secret.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind a big tree, it was Mi Yue.
She was wearing a pink dress, smiling broadly, and holding a bouquet of bright flowers in her hands.
Mi Yue rushed over in a hurry and hugged Shu Zhihan directly.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling, "Miss, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you to death. Do you know? I am worried about you."
Shu Zhihan was startled by Mi Yue's enthusiasm and excitement, but she quickly came to her senses, patted Mi Yue's back gently, and softly comforted her: "Okay, okay, am I back now? Don't leave." Cry, don’t cry.”
One of the two had tearful eyes, the other spoke softly. The sun shone on them through the leaves, forming a warm and touching picture.
Mother Shu looked at the two of them and felt warm in her heart.
She saw Mi Yue caring so much about Shu Zhihan, and felt extremely relieved knowing that her daughter was living a good life here.
She felt her eyes were a little moist, but she didn't let the tears flow. She just stood quietly and looked at the two intimate people with a smile.
Shu Zhihan gently let go of Mi Yue and introduced the two of them: "Mother, this is Mi Yue, my good sister."
Mi Yue bowed obediently: "Hello, madam, I am actually the young lady's personal maid. The young lady and I grew up together."
Mother Shu looked at the pretty and lovely girl in front of her, and she liked it very much. She smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, you are the Mi Yue that Zhihan often mentioned. As expected, you are just as lovable as Zhihan." girl."
As she spoke, she looked at the surrounding environment and sighed: "This is such a good place. My daughter is really lucky to be able to live here and have you by her side."
When Shu Zhihan heard her mother's words, her heart warmed up. She held Mi Yue's arm and said with a smile, "Yes, mother. It's really nice here. Don't worry."
Mi Yue walked over and helped Shu Mu and walked in. What she didn't expect was that she would meet Lu He at this time.
Mi Yue, as always, did not give Lu He a good look. She wanted to pretend not to see it and leave directly.
However, she didn't expect Shu's mother to stop.
Lu He was shocked. She knew that Mi Yue was Shu Zhihan's personal maid. If Shu's mother knew that her daughter was disliked by a maid, she would be unhappy.
She took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and stepped forward.
When Mi Yue saw her coming forward, she immediately protected Shu's mother behind her. Shu's mother looked at her with some confusion, not understanding what her intention was.
Mi Yue looked at Lu He warily, as if he was wary of her approach.
Lu He felt annoyed in his heart, but still maintained a smile on the surface. .
She secretly looked at Miyue's expression, trying to see something from her expression.
However, Mi Yue's face was indifferent, without any flaws.
Lu He felt a little weird in his heart. He didn't know why he saw his mother here.
Shu Zhihan stood aside and saw Mi Yue's guard against Lu He. She knew in her heart that Mi Yue was worried that she would be wronged.
She gently pulled Miyue's sleeve and whispered: "Go down first and prepare something to eat."
Mi Yue nodded when she heard Shu Zhihan's words, turned and left.
Her figure disappeared in a corner of the courtyard, and the sunlight shone on her body, as if giving her a golden halo.
Shu Zhihan looked at Mi Yue's leaving figure and felt a warmth in her heart.
She knew that she was really lucky to have such a caring maid by her side.
She turned her head to look at Lu He, smiled and said, "Lu He, let's go in and talk."
Lu He looked at Shu's mother with mixed feelings in her heart. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mother, why are you here?"
Shu's mother looked at Lu He and felt distressed in her heart.
She knew that Lu He had always had a grudge against Shu Zhihan, but she didn't expect that Lu He would see her here.
She patted Lu He's shoulder gently and said softly: "How are you living here?"
Lu He was shocked when he heard Shu's mother's words.
She raised her head and looked at Shu's mother and Shu Zhihan, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.
Suddenly, Lu He's eyes were filled with tears. She did not expect that she would see her mother here, nor did she expect that the first thing she said to her was that she cared about her.
She raised her head and looked at Shu Mu and Zhihan, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath, tried to calm down her emotions, and whispered, "Everything is okay, mother."
Lu He took a step forward and said softly: "Mom, you must be tired from the journey. Otherwise, take a rest first and I will cook you some of your favorite dishes."
Shu's mother looked at Lu He, her eyes full of relief.
She knew that Lu He had always been a sensible child. Although she had misunderstood Zhihan, she believed that Lu He was kind in nature.
She smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for the hard work."
Lu He smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Shu Zhihan looked at Lu He's back and felt a warmth in her heart. This was Lu He she had never seen before.
She didn't understand why, but she always felt that she was the most real.
"Mother, Lu He is now married, and her husband is a lieutenant general."
After hearing this, Shu's mother smiled happily and nodded.
When they sat at the table to eat, the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Shu Zhihan secretly looked at Lu He and found that she was more silent than before and no longer sarcastic towards him as before.
Lu He lowered his head and said nothing, eating his meal in silence.
Her mood was very complicated. She didn't know why she met her mother here, let alone how to face Shu Zhihan.
After the meal, Shu's mother lay down to rest, but Shu Zhihan was called out by Lu He.
Lu He looked at Shu Zhihan with a hint of determination in her eyes. She took a deep breath and whispered: "Shu Zhihan, I hope we can be honest with each other."
Shu Zhihan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lu He to say this.
She looked at Lu He, her eyes full of doubts, wondering what she meant.
Lu He suddenly asked sharply, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
Her face was pale, and there was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in her eyes.
Shu Zhihan was a little overwhelmed by Lu He's emotions. She looked at Lu He with doubts in her eyes and didn't understand why she was so excited.
Lu He looked at Shu Zhihan with mixed feelings in her heart.
She knew that she could no longer be sarcastic to Shu Zhihan like before. She took a deep breath, tried to calm down her emotions, and whispered: "Shu Zhihan, tell me, why on earth did you bring your mother here? Did you I don’t know, can’t mother leave the water palace?”
Lu He's voice was trembling. She was really worried about her mother's safety.
Shu Zhihan was shocked when she heard Lu He's words.
She didn't expect Lu He to say this, and she didn't know why Lu He said this. She looked at Lu He, her eyes full of doubts, and she didn't know how to answer.
Lu He looked at Shu Zhihan and felt helpless.
She knew that Shu Zhihan didn't know the secret of the water palace, nor did she know why her mother was here.
However, Lu He still wanted Shu Zhihan to know the truth, so Lu He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.
She frowned and asked Lu He: "What do you mean?"
Lu He looked at her with some hesitation in her heart, but she still decided to tell Shu Zhihan everything. Lu He whispered: "Actually, the water palace is not an ordinary palace. If you can leave casually, why do you think mother is so stubborn?" You won’t leave for years?”
"What will happen if we leave?"
Shu Zhihan stared at her closely, looking forward to the answer she would give. However, for a moment, she was a little afraid of hearing the answer, fearing that she would not be able to accept it.
