194 Chapter 18: Exalted Eldest Madam, A General’s Observation (Side-Story) (Part 1)

For a long time, I have been the pride of the Jiang Family, despite being ahead of my brothers there was no jealousy among them over my prowess.

My life was at its best, I fell in love and married my wife, and we had been happy for years. So, glad that I got careless and fell for a prostitute's trap. My carelessness cost me my relationship, and it didn't matter if that prostitute was with child and I was forced to take the women in as my concubine. My Wife had not talked nor smiled at me since.

Even my father was disappointed in me, and it was the first time I felt weak.

Wei Jeie had not stopped trying to pest me since then, and I didn't want her even as she continued to say loved me, I didn't want to hear such words from her.

I missed the warmth that only my wife would bring to me. But she wouldn't even look at me it was frustrating because no matter what I say she wouldn't listen. All due to this women's trick, there was only one way to get rid of her and then maybe my wife would come back to me.

I gave Wei Jeie and abortion drug when she drank it nothing happened, and I started to question whether what I had given her was the real thing and went to our family's doctor again. But, no matter how strong the drug the child wouldn't go. In Fact, it was the opposite the two had gotten stronger.

What Was going ON?

Why wouldn't the child go, I've been trying for months and yet….it was still there.

And then the worst thing happened my wife found out what I was trying to do.

"Is a child not innocent, why are you trying to rid of it?" she said

"You distance yourself from me because of the child, and I didn't want that."

"So, you thought getting rid of it. Would make everything better."

"I…I"

"Don't you know divine retribution?" she was more furious "I am angry that you had sex with another woman."

"That's why I'm trying to get rid of her."

"BY taking a life, and not just any life it is your child." She screamed

"But I don't want anyone's child but yours."

"You a genius general for years and this is who you really are, I was a fool," she said as she turned around even colder then she used to be.

That child had been born; it was a baby girl. I heard, but I didn't care it was that wench's child, not mine.

This child was an unwanted on my family didn't care for her birth; not even its mother cared. My father liked my wife an considered her his daughter, so he didn't care much for the child's birth either.

She would have been better off dead

I was in my office when I first met that child. She was only four months I think at that time. She was sitting on the ground staring. By that time, I had completely forgotten about her existence, so I was wondering who let a baby into my estate.

Until I recalled that I did indeed have a child, but she was a four-month-old infant.

When did she get here? How come I a First Ranked Martial Emperor didn't notice her presence? Why is she alone? Can an infant even sit up yet at four months?

When I got up, the little thing was still staring at me. But when I got closer, she crawled away.

She can crawl.

I started to follow her and yet somehow, I lost her. What?

I never felt so ashamed as I did now, I a famous general lost an infant.

I continued to look for her and finally found her, but when I did, she was in front of my wife. Who had a shocked expression on her face?

I guess I'm not alone.

The little infant raised her hands at my wife as if asking for her to pick her up. My wife had a complicated expression on her and couldn't decide what to do.

She then lowered her hand as she seemed to have lost interest in and then turned her head towards my direction.

Does she know that I'm here?

I wasn't visible from where I was and yet she was staring straight at me, and then she smiled and giggled.

She really can see me.

My wife was wondering what the little girl was looking at glanced in my direction but didn't see anyone and then turned back to the little girl who started to crawl away from her.

"Ah! Where are you going?" I heard my wife say as she chased after the infant.

My wife eventually lost her too, and I couldn't help myself come out. I walked up to the women who I hadn't seen a smile at panic over losing sight of a child. When she saw me, her face froze and then grew cold.

It hurt, and I felt my heart being stabbed all over again.

The suddenly it my wife fell over, I caught her before she fell utterly o the ground. In my arms I held her, and it felt really good. She looked up with a flushed face that I hadn't seen in what felt like ages.

And then I head the giggle of an infant. My wife and I looked at her who sat with my wife formally was.

Did she push her? Can an Infant do that?

My wife and I were so confused until the little thing crawled away again while giggling. Me and my wife looked at each other and then I felt her face flush before abruptly moving away.

"That child shouldn't be alone," my wife said before she started chasing after the infant and I ended up joining her.

"Damn, where are the servants?" My wife said out of breath

Good point

Are running around over the estate we hadn't found a single servant nor the little infant.

Until we heard her giggling, I listen to her but where is she, I looked around.

"Dear," My wife tugged my shelves me it made me feel warm inside. But I was my wife's face who was pale and looking up.

My gaze joined her as all the warmth from my face left me. She was on the roof.

How the Hell Did she get up There?

And Yet she was still giggling.
