A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 833: Getting the Account Book and Being Bullied by the Marshal

The two of them went to the second floor. The Marshal was indeed holding a kettle and watering the flower pots on the windowsill one by one. He was also wearing a military uniform with a ribbon and badge. This was usually worn only at some important event. Guier saw him wearing it once, at Marshal Zhang's funeral.

"Father, why are you dressed so formally today? Is there something wrong?" Sha Yanxiao asked.

The Marshal ignored him and continued watering.

Guier asked, "Father, how are you feeling today?"

The Marshal turned his head and glanced at Gui'er, then smiled and said, "I feel pretty good. Gui'er, I think I will definitely return victorious this time."

"Are you going to war? Where are you going?" Sha Yanxiao asked.

"Old Zhang from Fengcheng has been secretly eyeing our Jiangcheng for a long time. I want to strike first." said the Marshal.

Sha Yanxiao sighed and said, "Father, Fengcheng has been our territory for a long time, many years ago."

"Really? Who took it down?" the Marshal said in surprise.

"Have you forgotten? A few years ago, when our family went to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year, I discovered that Marshal Zhang of Fengcheng had made unusual moves. You sent me back to guard against it. Before he could assemble his troops, I attacked their headquarters. I persuaded their officers to surrender and resolved the issue peacefully. Marshal Zhang was also raised in our house and has passed away." Sha Yanxiao said patiently.

"It's you. You took it down. So you are the Marshal now, right?" The Marshal suddenly looked at Sha Yanxiao and said.

Sha Yanxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Father, you're the real commander." Then he turned to the two people from the main house who were following him and said, "Father, why are you getting more and more confused? Did you take the medicine the hospital sent you?"

The two men said in panic, "Master, we've been following the Marshal's lead and have followed his instructions. We've even taken the medicine. But he's been thinking about the past a lot these past few days, so we told his wife about it. She told us to have a doctor come back tomorrow to take a look."

Sha Yanxiao said, "What medicine did the doctor prescribe? Bring me the prescription."

One of them quickly said, "Yes, I'll get it right away," and then left.

Sha Yanxiao asked another, "Dad, have you been sleeping better lately?"

The other one stammered, "The two of us can only stand at the Marshal's door; he won't let us in."

At this moment, the Marshal suddenly put down the kettle, turned around and walked tremblingly towards his bedroom. Guier hurriedly followed him.

"Father, are you tired?" Guier asked.

The Marshal ignored her and went straight into the dressing room next to the bedroom.

It was Gui'er's first time to come to the Marshal's bedroom. She glanced around and immediately saw the bedside that Manager Zhao mentioned.

She turned her head to look at the boss in the locker room, he was still inside. She thought for a moment that such opportunities were rare, so she hurried over and knocked on each brick with her hands. She found that one brick made a different sound, so she gently lifted it with her hand and found that it was movable. There was a small account book, a key, and a letter inside.

She quickly took out the account book, put the envelope between the account book and her clothes, and put the key into her sleeve. She was somewhat glad that she was wearing a slightly looser modern style shirt and skirt to work today instead of a tight cheongsam.

After doing all this, she put the wall tile back in its original place, looked at it carefully again, and made sure that no one could see that it had been moved before she felt relieved.

Then he walked to the locker room door and knocked: "Dad, are you okay?"

The Marshal pushed the door open with a "rustle". He was wearing a nightgown with no buttons buttoned and only shorts on.

Gui'er felt embarrassed and turned around to call the servant in.

"Guier." The Marshal suddenly called her.

Gui Er thought something was wrong with him, so she quickly turned around, lowered her head, and asked, avoiding the Marshal, "What's wrong with father?"

"Guier, you've grown up, and you smell so good." The Marshal suddenly said this and touched her with his hand.

Gui'er reacted immediately and realized that although the Marshal was confused, this lecher's character had not changed at all. She quickly turned around and ran away.

The Marshal reached out and grabbed the clothes on her back, pulling her back. He put his arms around her body from behind and kept groping her downwards.

Gui'er was angry and ashamed. She quickly covered her chest and shouted, "Brother, brother, come quickly!"

Sha Yanxiao and the servant who was talking at the door heard it and rushed in immediately.

The Marshal saw two people rushing in, but he didn't let go. He hugged Gui'er tightly and wanted to put his hand under her skirt, trying to touch inside her skirt.

"This, Marshal, Marshal, Marshal." The servant was so scared that he stuttered and did not dare to step forward to stop him.

Sha Yanxiao stepped forward and pulled the Marshal's hand away, but his other hand was still tightly around Guier's waist.

"Let go, let go." Sha Yanxiao shouted angrily.

The Marshal ignored him and glared at Sha Yanxiao.

"What's wrong? What happened? Did the Marshal fall?" It was the voice of the fourth concubine, followed by the sound of a chaotic stream of high heels walking up the stairs. It was probably because the concubines heard the noise and came to the second floor.

Gui'er was both embarrassed and anxious. She didn't want anyone to see her being bullied by the Marshal, who had now torn the top two buttons of her shirt open.

Seeing that he couldn't pull it open, Sha Yanxiao raised his foot and was about to kick the Marshal in the face.

Seeing this, the Marshal instinctively dodged downwards. Gui'er seized the opportunity and lowered her head to bite his arm hard.

"Ahhh." The Marshal screamed in pain and finally let go.

Gui'er quickly ran away. Sha Yanxiao pulled her behind him and turned around to ask, "Are you okay?"

"What happened?"

A large group of people rushed in, and Madam and Sha Yanyao also arrived at some point.

When everyone saw that the Marshal was only wearing a nightgown with no buttons buttoned and it was open, and that although Gui'er was protected behind him by Sha Yanxiao, her hair was messy, her expression was strange, and the top two buttons of her clothes were open, they probably guessed what was going on and were stunned for a moment.

The servant who went to get the prescription just stood at the door, at a loss as to what to do and didn't dare to come in.

The Marshal had just been bitten by Gui'er and fell backwards in pain. Now he was trying to get up tremblingly, cursing as he crawled: "You unfilial son, you are rebelling against heaven, you guys, why don't you help me up quickly."

The two servants finally reacted and hurried over to help him up.

"Mother, has father lost his mind again?" the fifth concubine's youngest daughter asked timidly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You short-lived ghost, you only know how to play all day long. Go back to the yard quickly, and let San take them back." The fifth concubine was so scared that she started cursing and yelling, and asked her personal maid to take her two daughters back to the yard.

"You two should go back with your two sisters. You can't help with anything here, so don't make things more troublesome." Seeing this, the Sixth Concubine took the opportunity to let her maid take her two daughters back.

The two of them originally wanted to bring their daughter here to play the emotional card, but now they are too scared to care about anything. Who knows if the Marshal will be able to tell the difference between his biological and non-biological children when he gets confused?
