The drunken lady Jane Winstede leaned back in a high-backed chair,

Her face was flushed, a little more charming than usual, and she put one hand on her forehead, and thought:

(I was a girl from a poor fishing family, and although my kind adoptive father took me in and gave me the best education and shelter, I could feel that I never belonged to high society.)

The soldiers were working the front line, but the rear was still singing and dancing, and I couldn't enjoy it all with peace of mind.

I don't feel any joy here. I'm sorry, Dali, I've tried to fit into the aristocracy and earn you face, but I'm still not good enough, I'm sorry, husband, I'm not a good wife...... ）

Constantly blaming herself in her heart, suddenly, a stream of half-digested food poured up from her esophagus, she swallowed it back, a burst of nausea, looked at the elegant people around her, and forced a smile.

(No!) Don't make a fool of yourself! ）

Jian Ning closed her eyes again, wanting to wait for the wine to pass before going to the bathroom,

The scene from the nightmare just now strikes again, galloping horses...... The sound of bayonets and cannons rumbled, wailing all over the field, and the rumbling snare drums shook the eardrums......

Somehow, lately she has been dreaming of her husband dying on the battlefield, in all kinds of ways, including cannonballs, sabers, riding spears, and even falling from a horse......

(Yike...... What's wrong with me? Why are you just thinking about some unlucky things, is there something wrong with your spirit? ）

After a quarter of an hour, she went to the ladies' bathroom, and at last she couldn't help throwing up, and coughed painfully for a while before returning to the vanity mirror.

With the help of the maid, she tidied up her makeup, drank a special hangover potion, and sprayed it with a strong perfume to cover up the residual alcohol on her body.

Soon, she regained her beautiful and moving appearance, and once again appeared in the image of a perfect - a marquise.

When the dinner was over, she felt tired, even more tired than she had sweated on the polo court last week, and she got into her luxury carriage, closed the windows and curtains, and fell asleep......

In a trance, I can't remember what happened next.

When she woke up the next day, Jian Ning felt a splitting headache, jumping near her temples, and her hands and feet were still a little numb.

When the maid was changing her clothes, she told her that she was asleep in the carriage last night, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed, and even the crying of the little young master William couldn't wake up her drunken and sleeping mother, and it was the servant who changed her clothes and cleaned her body, and then changed her into a nightdress and carried her to the bedroom.

Hearing this, Jane Ning's face flushed with shame, but fortunately this happened in Ainfoot Manor, in her own home, she begged the servants not to spread the news about her troubles, everyone said that it was her duty to keep the secret of her master, and she wanted to rest assured.

After washing and grooming, the cook and aunt are ready for breakfast, with egg and ham sandwiches, pan-fried bacon slices and fresh lettuce leaves.

Just as she was stabbing a slice of oily bacon with her silver fork, the butler Constan Glaar came to the hostess, and the smile on his face was quite obvious, "Madame, the lord has finally sent a letter!" ”

"Oh my God! It's finally here! Show me! Jian Ning directly threw down the knife and fork, snatched the envelope from the butler's hand, and opened the sealing wax with a dinner knife instead of a letter opener.

She soon discovered that her husband's letter was very special, that the letter was not the luxurious paper with a smoky smell and gilded lace in the past, but a very simple, unadorned thick piece of paper.

The letter was very short, only a few lines, and the font was a little sloppy, and in some places it was punctured by the tip of the pen, apparently due to the lack of a flat surface support when writing, which showed the difficult environment in which her husband was currently living, which made her even more worried, and she couldn't wait to read it.

"My dear good sister-in-law, good wife, I miss you, kiss our baby William for me, our son must be taller again!

I'm all right here, don't worry about me, don't look at the enemy's combined forces outnumbering us, but we have more advanced armaments and better strategies,

More importantly, Her Majesty the Brave Empress is with the soldiers, and her role in boosting morale on the front line can be as good as 100,000 elites! The Prime Minister's Free Trade Alliance fleet is also overwhelming, and the enemy's leaders are far behind in courage and resourcefulness! Victory will be ours!

I did not deliberately refuse to write to you a while ago, but at that time the army of the Papal States suddenly entered the battlefield, causing a sudden tension in the war, the roads were muddy due to heavy rains, and the enemy light cavalry was disturbed, and the lines of communication were intermittent, God bless our postman, I hope this letter can be delivered to you smoothly.

I'm unharmed, but I'm tired......

Well, I hear another trumpet blowing outside, and the enemy is coming again, so let's write here, may the gods bless our country through this difficult time, and finally, kiss you ten thousand times! My good sister!

- The man you love the most in the world, Dalí Einfurt,

June 10, 1710, in the Great Tent of the Provisional Staff. ”

After reading it, Jian Ning sighed, slowly put down the letter, and the servants beside her all gathered together when they saw her reaction, and their faces were anxious, they all respected their master, for fear that something would happen to him.

A maid asked tentatively, "Madame...... Dare to ask the master ...... Are you okay? ”

Jian Ning quickly withdrew the tears that were almost coming out and smiled at the servants, "Don't worry, my husband is fine, and your Marquis is unharmed, just a little tired. ”

Hearing her words, the servants all breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh...... That's great, God has eyes! Good people will be rewarded! The butler coughed quietly, and everyone quickly returned to their respective posts.

Janine folded the letter and handed it to the butler, "Constan, put this letter in the first drawer of my desk in my study. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Jian Ning looked out the window, the sun of Hexi shone into the restaurant, and the breeze blew the thin gauze curtains, it was a good weather for traveling, she said:

"Little William doesn't have to go to math class today, I'll give him a day off and let him go to play with his friends!"

"Great, young master, he will be very happy."

"Also, tell the groom and his retinue to prepare the horses and vehicles, and I'm going to go around the city."

"But you haven't had breakfast yet......" Constance, the butler, looked a little embarrassed as he looked at the food on the table.

"I drank too much last night, and I don't have much appetite today, so I'll leave this for everyone to eat, I want to go into the city today, Constan, you know, we women like to relieve our sorrows through shopping, and we can also take a ride on the way to breathe."

"As you wish, ma'am," Constance bowed deeply, then withdrew.
