Early in the morning, the General’s Manor that hosted a grand wedding only yesterday, began to be busy. People came and went, but the General’s wedding room was silent.
The maids were debating on whether or not to knock on the door to ask if the lady was awake when they saw the General who left last night with an ugly expression on his face return with the same an ugly look.

A trace of surprise drifted across everyone’s eyes. Afterall, their master had been kicked out of the wedding room by his new wife on their wedding night, which really made others want to laugh. If their master had showed disdain, they probably would have guessed that the relationship between the General and his new wife was not good.
But last night, the General stood at the door for most of the night, and did not leave until the lights went out. They also knew that he finally went to a side room nearby to sleep. So, they weren’t sure what their General was thinking, and could only try their best to look at their own noses, lower their heads, and concentrate on keeping their minds blank.
Zhan Shaoxi stood at the door and hesitated for a moment. The memory of being kicked out last night was very clear, but the woman’s beautiful face left a deeper impression on him than that shameful memory.
He did not like the people from the royal family, and looked down on this Royal Princess that the Emperor had commanded him to marry right from the start. But he could not refuse to follow orders, so he planned to marry her and keep her as a decorative wife, leaving her alone after threatening her. When he told her last night that he already had someone he liked, he had done so in order to make sure she wouldn’t indulge in any fantasies.
But it was these words that he had uttered that made him nervous throughout the night.
Indeed, not only was the newly-married General thrown out of his marriage room, he also stayed up all night because of his own threats to his wife. This made him very upset.
After standing at the door for a long time, Zhan Shaoxi finally had no intention of knocking on the door. He was about to turn around and leave when the door was opened from within.

That person had a head full of messy hair, their expression was not very good, and was still wearing the wedding dress from last night. She only glanced at the General who stood stunned by the door before moving her gaze towards the maid standing beside him. “Have people come in to help me bathe and change.”
The maids bowed their heads and busied themselves following orders.
Her Royal Highness was able to keep his secrets hidden for so many years because he never let people close to him. He didn’t even keep intimate maids. Although the maids that have been by his side had come over along with him for the wedding, they were not allowed to come near the wedding room because the General did not like the royal family. At this moment, everyone who was standing by the door were all the General’s people.

Xue Ling did not care too much about these things. If it hadn’t been that he had never worn women’s clothes before and really didn’t know how to dress and fix up his hair, he absolutely would not have come out to ask people to serve him.
After she had spoken, she pointed to a few maids and ordered them into the room. Without sparing the General at the door a single glance, she directly closed the door.
Zhan Shaoxi was immediately angered by his attitude.
This was his wife, whom he had married openly and legally. Nevermind that he had been expelled out of the wedding room on the wedding night, she still dared to embarrass him the next day. Even if she was the Royal Princess, this was too overboard!
The General who had hesitated over whether or not to be more friendly with his wife also lost his temper, snorted coldly, turned around and left. He had no idea that his behavior was exactly like someone who was trying to maintain their dignity in the face of rejection. The guards outside the wedding room gave him sympathetic glances as he left.
The great General was given the cold shoulder by his wife on the first day of his marriage, and he did not dare to speak to his wife. Did things have to look so bleak?
The maids prepared hot water for the lady to take a bath early in the morning. They sprinkled various petals to ensure that his entire body would be scented from the bath. When Xue Ling had them withdraw once they had helped him take off his outer clothing and he was left in his underwear, they did not dare say a word.
Speaking of which, Her Highness the Royal Princess looked really beautiful, with an oval face and a pair of fox eyes. What originally should have been a bewitching face became more noble and gorgeous due to the frostiness between her eyebrows. It gave off an invisible momentum, which made others somewhat unable to look directly at her face, and only bow their heads before her.
The maids felt that the General’s wife must have great means, and their respect for the new lady deepened.
Xue Ling had been angered half to death by the plot information that the system handed over. He did not want to acknowledge that man at all for the time being, and even spent some time thinking seriously about what he would do if his man really fell in love with the heroine. His final conclusion was that he would tie him up and bring him back, castrate him, and then torture him to death.
Although he had been spoiled by the man for so many years andalways kept his temper restrained, that did not mean that he would tolerate the man cheating on him. If that happened, he was completely willing to give up the task in this world, kill off both of them, and then start over in the next. As a demon who had always had ambiguous morals, Xue Ling naturally had his own principles regarding affairs of the heart.

The system was frightened by the way he gritted his teeth and sneered. It steeled itself to tell its host, “Although the plot is set up that way, Zhan Shaoxi’s soul is no longer the same one, so he would never fall in love with the female protagonist.”
