Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 722 Zhen Mi: This scoundrel has changed.

Zhang Sui walked past the group of women and went straight back to his and Yuan Mi's room.

As soon as he reached the door, he discovered that Madam Ren was following him.

Zhang Sui was somewhat surprised and smiled at Madam Ren, "Is there something you need?"

Ren blinked and pointed at Zhang Sui's face, saying, "Actually, it's nothing serious."

"I just feel that you don't look too well today, Master."

"It seems like they were probably exhausted from the long journey."

"I was thinking, Master, why don't you take a hot bath and I'll scrub you?"

Zhang Sui didn't sense anything unusual and nodded, saying, "Alright, thank you for your help."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and went inside.

After watching Zhang Sui enter the room, Madam Ren breathed a sigh of relief before turning away to instruct the maids in the mansion to boil water.

Zhang Sui took off his armor alone in the room, then found a place to sit down and stared blankly at the fragments of Shen Rong's skull.

Since his transmigration, he has killed countless people.

Whether it's passive or active.

Whether they are ordinary people or famous generals.

But this was the first time he felt the weight of history.

He suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

He became somewhat frightened.

Is it possible that Shen Rong, who is risking his life to protect something, might one day let everyone down?

After all, before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary office worker, truly an unremarkable person.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Sui still couldn't come up with an answer.

Only then did he take out the second young lady Zhen Mi's dagger and gently scrape the skull fragment, shaping it into a pendant.

He planned to keep it hanging around his neck forever, so that he could remember all the achievements, which were not only due to the information gap brought about by time travelers, but also because many people had paid the price with their lives.

Just as Zhang Sui was diligently scraping with his dagger, a female voice rang out from outside: "Master, Miss Zhen Er requests an audience."

While continuing his work, Zhang Sui looked up in confusion and said, "Have her come over directly."

This is truly a rare occurrence.

She actually took the initiative to see me!
Not long after, Zhang Sui saw the second young lady, Zhen Mi, push open the door and come in.

It's been more than half a year since we last met.

Zhang Sui's expression was somewhat strange.

She always seems to change every time I see her.

Now, she has the bearing of a lady.

She has a very mature and sophisticated air about her.

Moreover, her chest seems to have gotten a bit bigger.

Even a long dress couldn't hide the bulge inside.

However, he was still clearly different from his wife.

Although the lady often had a blank expression, she was not unapproachable.

Zhen Mi, too, had an expressionless face, yet she seemed unapproachable and difficult to get close to.

Zhang Suichong laughed at Zhen Mi, "Is the sun rising in the west? You've come looking for me on your own initiative?"

"Actually, you can just go to Madam if you need anything."

She is your mother.

“Unless it’s a matter of principle, your mother can get it done for you.”

Zhen Mi stopped not far from Zhang Sui, looking down at him.

Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

For some reason, she has clearly felt that Zhang Sui's enthusiasm for her has been waning over the past two years.

He's no longer the lecherous man he used to be.

She felt things were getting better, but she didn't like it.

However, it's understandable.

Now that he holds a high position, all sorts of beautiful women are eager to throw themselves at him.

Wasn't that the consort I just saw in the front courtyard just like her?

That tall, elegant woman, who was said to be the queen of the Wuhuan, had come to the general's mansion with him.

Not to mention the others. Xiao Qiao, the younger sister of Lady Da Qiao, would become animated whenever she talked about him, calling him "brother-in-law" over and over again.

The title didn't sound like "brother-in-law," but rather like "husband."

Xu Lan was given to him by the second young master of the Sima family, who was known for his rotten pants.

She is also very pretty.

Moreover, he was both scholarly and martial, and possessed an extraordinary demeanor, comparable to himself.

She had chatted with Xu Lan a few times, and Xu Lan's serene temperament made her feel somewhat inferior.

Surrounded by so many beautiful women, even though I am somewhat good-looking, I still seem ordinary.

Zhang Sui was waiting for Zhen Mi's reply.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Sui saw her standing beside him without saying a word. He looked up and said irritably, "Say what you have to say."

Zhen Mi took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, before saying, "I heard you're going to wage war against the Xu Du court? I've come to gather information."

"If this is true, then Sister Zhen and I will start making arrangements."

"We hope that both the Zhen and Mi families can play their roles as much as possible, so that we can also make some contributions."

"After this major battle, it is estimated that it will be difficult to start another major battle of this scale."

"Our Zhen family and Mi family will never have such an opportunity to achieve great things again."

"To be honest, my Zhen family is doing a little better."

"Thanks to Mother and you, my second brother is doing a good job as the prefect of Zhongshan County."

"However, the Mi family has always been just merchants."

"Zhen'er wants to transform the Mi family into a noble family."

"She's also very strong-willed and doesn't want to take advantage of your status as a concubine to do this."

Zhang Sui nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

He did know that.

Zhang Sui said, "It's true."

"Please inform Mr. Qiao and ask the Qiao family to work harder as well."

Zhen Mi hummed in agreement.

Zhang Sui continued to work.

Seeing that Zhang Sui had nothing more to say, Zhen Mi turned to leave.

She stopped in front of the door.

Looking back at Zhang Sui's focused expression, a hint of melancholy appeared on Zhen Mi's face as she murmured, "You really don't care about me at all?"

Zhang Sui heard Zhen Mi speak, but didn't catch the specific content, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Zhen Mi shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I wasn't talking to you."

After that, leave directly.

Zhang Sui rolled his eyes as he watched Zhen Mi's retreating figure.

Still so conflicted.

If I didn't hear something clearly, I won't say it a second time.

As soon as Zhen Mi stepped out of the room, she saw Ren Shi standing at the corner.

Zhen Mi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she opened her mouth.

Madam Ren smiled and pointed behind her, saying with a fawning smile, "Second Miss Zhen, I just instructed the maids to prepare hot water for the Master to take a bath. It's quite a surprise that you would take the initiative to talk to the Master! When did you arrive? Are you eating here? I'll prepare a few of your favorite dishes when I cook dinner tonight."

Zhen Mi's expression improved considerably after that.

Judging from her explanation, she probably wasn't guarding this spot, nor did she hear what I said.

Zhen Mi said, "No need, I just have some official business to ask about, and I need to leave immediately."

After saying that, he left.

After watching Zhen Mi's beautiful figure disappear from sight, Madam Ren shook her head.

Why bother?

The General's current status and power have attracted countless women.

It's unrealistic to still be thinking about pursuing you like we used to.

However, she was, after all, a lady from a prominent family.

Unlike a woman of humble origins like herself, who has to carefully plan for whatever she wants.
