Nia can already speak a few simple words, and she was even happier to see me, so I simply took her to my yard to take care of her. Mrs. Carter and my mother hit it off immediately after they met. My mother took Mrs. Carter to our shop every day, while my father was busy delivering things to the front line. For a while, everyone in my family was busy.
The house was lively and warm.
A month later, I received a letter from Andrew.R
Andrew wrote many pages in a very eloquent manner, telling me about the scenery of the border, how much other people envied my dowry, and the things my father later delivered make the army more like being traveling than fighting a war.}
Seeing how well prepared we were, the enemies on the border dared not act rashly. After suffering several defeats in a row their morale was gone. He estimated that this battle would be over soon.”
I also told him the real situation in the city, telling him not to worry about Mrs. Carter and Nia. I also told him that I had started helping Mrs. Carter run the Carter family shop. After thinking about it, I wrote a sentence at the end [I missed you very much and hoped you can come home soon.]}
5:07
When I sent the letter, I also attached the new clothes I made myself.
Soon I received a reply letter from Andrew. In the letter, he said that the soldiers were very envious of him for being able to receive letters from home and new clothes. His words were full of arrogance.}
While I was replying, I was thinking about the difficulties faced by the soldiers at the border. So, I personally went to the Carter army’s camp in the city, explained my purpose, and expressed my willingness to help the families of the soldiers write and deliver letters to the border.
The soldier families were undoubtedly happy, but there were few people who could write, so I simply invited talented scholars who could write documents to come and help. Somehow, this matter spread in the city, and the Empress issued an edict to praise me in person, praising me as a heroine and a model of boudoir.
Influenced by this, many literati voluntarily go to the camp to help write letters.”
I was very surprised to see Max.
He didn’t seem to be doing well and looked a little haggard. The officials who should have been close to him seemed to be acquaintances and they didn’t communicate much.
He tried to talk to me several times, but was stopped by Wendy. In her eyes, Max was mentally ill.”
After three busy days, everyone’s letters were prepared. I arranged for people to deliver the letters to the border. I hoped that the letters from relatives could bring warmth to the soldiers on the border and bring them home early.
The Watson Mansion.
I had just finished dinner and Wendy was standing next to me, hesitating to say something
Wendy, just say it.
Miss, you didn’t see how strange the way Mr. Charlie looked at you today. If Mr. Carter were there, he would be furious. Wendy muttered.
What’s wrong I asked puzzled.”
I knew Max wanted to talk to me, but after all, I didn’t really see him, so I didn’t know what his eyes were like.
It’s as if he wants to kidnap you. Wendy whispered, How dare he do that?
There are a lot of messes in his family. I heard that Madam Charlie couldn’t stand that Concubine Mrs. Rose Moran, so she brought two more concubines into the mansion a few days ago. These two concubines are not easy to get along with. Mrs. Rose Charlie was originally favored, and Mrs. Charlie had to respect Mr. Charlie after some negotiations. Recently, Mr. Charlie has not been to Mrs. Rose Charlie’s place very often. Her life is really hard.}
Wendy muttered to herself.
Don’t ask too much about other people’s affairs. I tapped Wendy’s little head.
Miss, I am innocent. I didn’t intend to hear that. It is a rumor that has spread all over the city. I also heard that Mr. Charlie brought Mrs. Rose Charlie to the banquet. But she was petty and has offended many people.
I smiled and said nothing more.
After washing up, Nia came to sleep with me. The little girl sometimes slept with me. I have been busy with soldier letters these days and have spent little time with her. When she saw me come back, she came over.
The night was warm, ! looked at Nia’s sleeping face and inexplicably felt as if I was in another world. I have started a new life, which was great.
It was the end of the year soon and I hadn’t received a letter from Andrew Carter for some time. Although we all said nothing, we were all worried. Until the news of the army’s triumphant news delivered.
Ms. Watson, I’m here on the orders of the Emperor to give you a message. General Carter has already set off and is expected to arrive before the New Year. The eunuch beside the Emperor came to deliver the news.}
The Watson family’s contribution to this great victory couldn’t be underestimated.”
The money given by the Watson family was even more than that given by the Ministry of Revenue…
The Emperor was naturally very pleased, and since the relationship between Andrew and I was already known to everyone, the Emperor was happy to do a favor.
After Mrs. Carter received the news, she brought Nia back to their mansion to prepare to welcome General Carter’s triumphant return. I also took time to go over and help. The days were busy but full of expectations.”
Ten days later, on the twenty–ninth day, the army arrived.}
I received the news early in the morning and waited at Pentagon Pavilion. I saw him off when he left and picked him up when he came back.&
The snow and wind were drifting all over the sky, like a good omen sent from heaven. The people were laughing and talking happily, finally able to have a peaceful New Year.
Many officials also came to welcome the triumphant return of the army. I sat in the carriage at first, but then I got off because I was waiting too anxiously. I wore a veil hat and a red shawl, and kept walking back and forth.
Miss, it’s cold, and it’s not certain when Mr. Carter will arrive. You should go back to the carriage and wait. I’ll keep an eye on him for you. Wendy stuffed a hot water bottle into my hand with a distressed look.!!
I’m good. I tiptoed and looked into the distance, and a leisurely voice came from the side.”
Do you like him that much
The voice was not loud. and the wind and snow were blindina. Wendy turned around and took a look. There were quite a few people

behind us, and their shadows were blurry. For a moment, she couldn’t tell who was speaking. She pursed her lips and muttered something.
Who What is he talking about
I shook my head and said calmly, It has nothing to do with us.
Max in the crowd had an ugly look on his face. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard the sound of horse hooves.
They are back! a loud shout was heard.
The crowd instantly became excited.}
I walked quickly forward, and before I could see clearly what was ahead, I bumped into a familiar embrace.}
Seren.”
Andrew.
Andrew held me tighter, I know you are anxious to marry me, but i didn’t expect you to be so anxious that you couldn’t even wait in the carriage.
I blushed and hit him lightly.
Andrew laughed and greeted the officials and people around him. General Carter also arrived soon. After a lively conversation, Andrew got directly into my carriage.”
Don’t you have to do report to the emperor I asked.}
Dad will go. Andrew looked at me and smiled foolishly.}
also looked at him. He was a lot darker and thinner than he was before leaving, but his eyes were still shining.
Thinking of his tragic death in his previous life, the fate of the Carter family, and thinking that I had finally escaped disaster in this life, my eyes became red and I raised my hand and gently touched his face.
Silly girl, why are you crying!
Andrew carefully wiped my tears away. It’s all right. This time we defeated the enemy without giving them any chance of resistance. They also saw how wealthy we are, so they no longer dare to rebel.}
I have arranged people to do business there. As long as the business relations are close and life is good, no one will want wars. If they really have a tyrannical monarch, their own people will stop him. I said.”
My silly girl is so smart. Andrew’s eyes were full of admiration.
I’m not silly. I was angry and quarreled with him. In the carriage not far away, a pair of eyes kept watching us…}
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Carter family came to propose marriage, and the two families happily discussed the date for Andrew and I to get married.}
The nearest auspicious day is the 16th day of the first lunar month, but time is too tight. General Carter said. The day he had chosen was the 28th of next month, but his son insisted asking him to initiate the nearest day.”
We are anxious to get Seren as our daughter–in–law, but time is short and we are afraid that we may not be able to prepare some things and neglect Seren. Mrs. Carter said in a gentle voice.
Then 16th. Don’t worry about the wedding preparations. We have all kinds of stores. Seren’s wedding dress has been made since the day Andrew left for the war. More than a hundred embroiderers were working on it and it’s done already. My father said with a smile. Andrew looked at me with passionate eyes. My face was burning hot and I whispered, Daddy.
She is shy. My father laughed.
The atmosphere in the living room was so great.>
The whole family was lively and happy.
After lunch, Andrew walked me back to the yard and we chatted along the way.
The Emperor and the Empress have given me many gifts, and I have brought them all here for you. Andrew Carter smiled foolishly and held my hand with a little force, Seren, I can’t wait to marry you. That’s why I chose the nearest date. Are you happy
I rolled my eyes at him and walked quickly ahead. Andrew hurriedly followed, Are you happy
I ignored him and continued to make a fuss all the way to the door of the embroidery pavilion.
I’ll get in and stay for a while.
No, that’s not proper. My mother said that we should see each other less before the wedding. You should go back first. I pushed Andrew
away.
He stood at the door with a sad look on his face.
This made Wendy and the other maids laugh out loud.
I stepped into the door, paused, turned around and said to him, Andrew, I, am happy. After that, I ran in with a red face.
Andrew was startled at first, and then he seemed to be enveloped by joy, I’m happy too, Seren. I’m extremely happy. Silly man. I whispered and walked inside, Wendy, go see him off, and then go get the dowry list from my mother.
Got it, miss. Wendy responded and went to do it.
I walked into the room with brisk steps, and as soon as I entered, I was stunned,”
Max Charlie! Why are you here I turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by him.
Seren, give me a little time to finish my word, and then I’ll leave. Max said anxiously.

I frowned, It seems that there is nothing to talk about between me and you, Mr. Charlie.
I regret it, Seren. I really do. Please, don’t marry Andrew Carter. I should have gone to the garden that day and met you there. Now I know that I can’t leave you.
Max said with sobs.}
My heart, which had been surging just now, gradually calmed down, and I looked at Max coldly.
I married Rose despite my parents‘ objection, but she is not as smart and capable as you are. The house is a mess, and she is not good
at socializing, and she is petty. I have to take care of everything. She can’t be a good wife.
I couldn’t concentrate on my work. I kept making mistakes, and I couldn’t get close to my colleagues.}
You have done all these very well in the past.
I didn’t cherish what I had and ignored them. I didn’t see how good you were in my previous life. You loved me so much. Don’t marry Andrew Carter. When I go back, I will divorce everyone in the backyard immediately. I swear. You are the only love in my life.
Seren, don’t marry other people.
As Max spoke, he walked forward and wanted to hold my hands. I dodged sideways and looked at him coldly.
Max Charlie, not only did you not go to the garden that day, I didn’t go neither.}
Max was stunned…}
You, you also have memories of your past life. Max uttered after a long while.
I looked at him with a calm expression, Yes, I also have memories of my past life. In my past life, I was kind and virtuous, managing your household and facilitating relationships for you, but you divorced me even though you knew I was innocent.
Max Charlie, the thing I regret most in my previous life is that I didn’t have the courage to tell my parents that I didn’t want to marry you. I had been in love with someone.
You, you were in love with Andrew Carter in your previous life Max asked with difficulty.
1 looked at him and nodded seriously, Yes, I love him.
Max staggered away as if he had suffered a huge blow.
After he left, I slowly sat down on the ground, and the resentment that had been suppressed in my heart for two lifetimes finally came out.”
Do you like me that much Andrew’s voice rang out, and I was held in his arms.
Why are you… I looked at him blankly.
I couldn’t bear to leave you, so I came back, and just happened to see that bastard coming here for you. He carefully put me on the bed. Will you think… I was thinking about words to describe my experience.
I feel sorry for you. Andrew lowered his head and kissed my forehead. His voice was choked with sobs. Seren, we missed each other in last lifetime, but we still have this one. I swear I will treat you well and live up to my promise. If I break my oath, I will die.
Andrew, I believe you.
The next news I heard about Max and Rose was from Wendy’s gossip before I got married.
Miss, Mrs. Rose Charlie is dead.”
I was slightly stunned.}
I heard that she was caught cheating on someone, and she was so crazy that she said that Mr. Charlie was willing to divorce his wife in order to marry her, so how could she be a concubine Later then, Mr. Charlie’s mother ordered someone to beat her to death.
It’s really unlucky. Wendy slapped her lips and said, Mr. Charlie resigned. I heard that he went to the mountains to practice Buddhism. His mother almost died in anger. Mr. Charlie’s grandfather has already started to train another grandson.
I didn’t respond. What happened to Max had nothing to do with me. What I wanted to protect was my lover.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Andrew came to pick me up to his house by riding a tall horse.
After a whole day of tossing and turning, I finally sat on the wedding bed, the red candles flickered, the love was lingering. I only remember Andrew said to me in a gentle voice, Seren, we are husband and wife.
The following year, the Watson family’s business empire spread across countries, and we tried our best to promote trade among countries. The borders became more stable, relations among countries were close, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
At the end of the year, my first child was born, a son.
Andrew held the child, crying and laughing. He cried for my suffering and laughed for our love and our son.
Seren, thank you for all your hard work.
I lay on the bed looking at him. It was so nice. My husband was so sweet.!!
I wish we could stay together in peace and happiness year after year.
