Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

In the afternoon, the sun was setting, and Bai Zhiyuan's tent had already been set up. She went in to take a look and was very satisfied. After so long, she finally had her own tent. As a woman, living with a group of men was indeed very inconvenient.

Bai Zhiyuan lay on the bed for a while, feeling a little bored. Normally the tent was crowded and noisy, but today there was suddenly no one there, and it felt a little boring.

She stood up, walked out of the tent, and saw Xie Yunsong's tent. Tianlin was guarding the door. Bai Zhiyuan walked over, smiled and greeted Tianlin, and then was about to step into Xie Yunsong's tent. But she was stopped by Tianlin.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes and said, "I'm here to see General Xie."

Tianlin said, "County Lady, the general doesn't like to be disturbed when he is resting. Besides, he just received a letter from Shangjing. I'm afraid the general is reading it now. It's not appropriate for you to go in now."

Bai Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile and nodded, "Okay then."

Tianlin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. This Princess Rong'an was really a difficult person to deal with. He didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to today.

While Tianlin was thinking, Bai Zhiyuan flashed into the tent. Tianlin was shocked and tried to stop him but it was too late.

As soon as Bai Zhiyuan entered, he saw Xie Yunsong sitting at the table, reading a letter.

Tianlin immediately apologized: "Master, it was Tianlin who failed to stop the county lady. Please punish me, Master."

Bai Zhiyuan said, "I broke in by myself. It has nothing to do with Tianlin. General Xie will not punish people indiscriminately, right?"

Xie Yunsong raised his eyes, glanced at her calmly, raised his hand and said to Tianlin: "Nothing. You go down first."

Tianlin glanced at Bai Zhiyuan and went out obediently.

After Tian Lin left, Xie Yunsong never looked at Bai Zhiyuan again. Instead, he stared at the letter quietly and left Bai Zhiyuan aside.

Bai Zhiyuan was not angry. It was her fault for following him to the military camp without permission. How could a grown man be so stingy, she thought to herself.

Bai Zhiyuan stood beside Xie Yunsong with a flattering look on his face, and said with a wry smile, "General Xie is still angry?"

Xie Yunsong glanced at her calmly and said, "I dare not."

Bai Zhiyuan curled her lips. This was not because she didn't dare, but because she was full of resentment. She continued, "General Xie, you also saw the farewell banquet that day. Shangjing is full of dangers, and my father refused to take me away. I had no choice but to come to you..."

Xie Yunsong mocked, "Before I left, I had clearly thought of a way out for you. You can go to Mount Zhongnan to find a master, or you can continue to stay in the Bai Mansion. His Royal Highness Prince Jin will protect you. And..." Xie Yunsong paused, and then said, "And Miss Bai has always been 'scheming'. Would she be afraid of the dangers of going to the capital?"

Bai Zhiyuan was at a loss for words for a moment. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, General, for your compliment."

Xie Yunsong: “…”

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Xie Yunsong and choked. She felt inexplicably good. She said, "General Xie, I just heard from Tianlin that you received a letter from Shangjing. I wonder what the letter said?"

Xie Yunsong thought to himself: Tianlin talks too much.

Tianlin, who was standing outside, sneezed and looked up at the sky. It was a hot summer day, so he shouldn't have caught a cold.

Xie Yunsong ignored her and started to pretend she didn't exist.

Bai Zhiyuan was furious. This man, he had already apologized and begged him so humbly, but he still had this attitude.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan didn't care about Xie Yunsong's reaction. He directly took the letter from his hand and read it quickly.

Xie Yunsong's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he stood up to take the letter back. Bai Zhiyuan saw his intention and read the letter while running.

Xie Yunsong was furious and grabbed her, but he didn't want to use too much force. Bai Zhiyuan threw herself on him and subconsciously hugged his waist tightly.

This posture made Bai Zhiyuan feel desperate. Xie Yunsong must hate her to death. She quickly let go. Xie Yunsong didn't react for a while. Bai Zhiyuan fell heavily to the ground. She wailed and said angrily: "General Xie, I am also a woman after all. You..."

Xie Yunsong laughed angrily, took the letter and stopped arguing with her.

Bai Zhiyuan got up from the ground and said to Xie Yunsong who was pouring tea, "General Xie, the letter just now was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. The letter said that Princess Changle was sent out of the palace and sent to Puhua Temple because of the last incident. That's right, a disabled and deflowered princess is of no use to the royal family. She can only live out her remaining life with a green lamp and a Buddhist monk."

Xie Yunsong put down his teacup and said, "Kangding Wang is dead, Changle has also gone to Puhua Temple, and only Yan Wang is left in Shangjing. Why should Miss Bai go to the northern border to suffer?"

"How can it be suffering? Of course, the environment in the past month is not as good as that in the capital, but I feel very free, a freedom that I don't have in the capital. In the military camp, I am no longer the lady of the general's mansion, nor the princess of Rong'an County. I am just me. I can laugh and run freely, no longer bound by etiquette. I feel very happy. There is no intrigue and trickery here like in the capital. I live a simple and free life."

Xie Yunsong was stunned for a moment after hearing what she said. After a while, he said, "I also received a letter from your father today. Take a look." Then he handed Bai Zhiyuan a letter.

Bai Zhiyuan was feeling uneasy. He glanced at Xie Yunsong but couldn't see anything on his face, so he gritted his teeth, opened the letter and started reading.

The letter stated: Bai Tingxuan had received the letter Bai Zhiyuan wrote before he left. He was naturally furious at first and even thought of sending someone to kidnap Bai Zhiyuan and bring him back to the capital. But then he changed his mind and thought that Bai Zhiyuan was the most stubborn person. Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to write a letter to beg Xie Yunsong to keep his daughter safe.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't speak for a long time after reading the letter. She made this decision because she knew her father would be furious with his temper. However, her father didn't blame her at all in the end. He only asked her to protect herself and repeatedly told Xie Yunsong to protect himself.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't know what to say for a moment, her eyes were slightly red. Xie Yunsong looked at her. This person was smiling playfully one second, but seemed to be about to cry the next.

Bai Zhiyuan pulled Xie Yunsong's sleeve, slowly squatted down, and burst into tears. She cried very loudly, as if she wanted to vent all the anxiety, grievance, and sadness she had experienced during this period of time.

Xie Yunsong froze, not knowing how to comfort her, and could only let her cry. After a moment, Xie Yunsong felt that his sleeves were wet, and he sighed: How could a woman cry so much? He thought for a moment, gently put his hand on her back, and patted her, as if he was coaxing a child.

Tianlin, who was guarding the door, looked confused. She was fine just now, why was she crying now? Tianlin shook his head. His young master really didn't know how to coax a girl.

After a while, Bai Zhiyuan's crying became quieter and quieter, and finally she stopped crying. She raised her head, with red and swollen eyes, and said embarrassedly: "Xie General, I soiled your clothes, otherwise you can take them off and I will help you wash them."

Xie Yunsong: “…”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Bai Zhiyuan stood up and was about to help him take off his clothes. Xie Yunsong took two steps back in fear and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No need."

Bai Zhiyuan then gave up.

Bai Zhiyuan took out the letter of apology he had written to his father today and whispered, "Thank you, General. This is the letter I wrote to my father after you discovered my identity today. Can you help me deliver it?"

Xie Yunsong took the letter, nodded, and said, "It's just a letter, why are you so sad just now?"

Bai Zhiyuan was unwilling to say more and said, "You don't understand, General Xie." Just now she just thought of the tragic death of her father in her previous life. No matter in the past or this life, her father always firmly protected her, which made her unable to control her emotions for a while.

Xie Yunsong didn't ask any more questions. Bai Zhiyuan felt embarrassed to stay there after letting Xie Yunsong see him crying like that. He quickly thought of an excuse and left his tent.

Xie Yunsong stood where he was. In fact, when he saw Bai Zhiyuan dressed as a man this morning, his first reaction was not anger, but joy. Then came worry. How had she managed to stay in the military camp for more than a month? No one knew the hardships of the military camp better than him, but she didn't feel any hardship at all from beginning to end.

Xie Yunsong thought so and shook his head, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
