Shan Li left this time to go on business.

All the masters in the general's mansion gathered at the door to see him off.

Even the old lady who had not left Jing'an Hall for a long time came.

She looked at her most outstanding grandson with a face full of satisfaction.

Every time they saw someone off at the General's Mansion, they were sending them to the battlefield. Only this time was different.

Although I feel a little reluctant, I am relieved at the end of the day.

No one knows better than her what it feels like to send her husband, son, and grandson to the battlefield.

"Yunzhi, you must do your best to fulfill the tasks assigned to you by His Majesty. Do not let His Majesty down." Their General's Mansion is in an awkward position, and it is not easy to gain the trust of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Don't worry, grandma. I know what's going on. I promise I won't bring disgrace to the reputation of the General's Mansion," Shan Li promised.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay. Grandma knows you are a good person."

At this time, Lou also came forward and said to Shan Li, "Yunzhi, the mission is important, but don't delay the main business." As she said this, she glanced at her daughter-in-law who was standing aside and saying goodbye to Shan Xi.

Last night, when Lou Shi learned that he was going to take Ah Ci with him on this trip, she was shocked at first, but then she thought, this is also a good thing.

Ah Ci said before that her son's hidden illness would take half a year to recover, but now that time has already passed. There should be no problem. If there is good news during this period, she will be more relieved.

"Mother, please take care of the things at home. Xi'er is young and needs your help." Shan Li knew about Song Qingci's arrangement.

He also felt that leaving the household to Shan Xi was the best solution at the moment.

"I know! Don't worry about this anymore. Worry more about your own affairs. In the capital, all the noble families who are about your age are already fathers. You should be more careful!" "Lou's worrying fate will probably never change in this lifetime.

She will worry about her children all her life.

Compared to the serious atmosphere on Shan Li's side, Song Qingci's side seemed much more relaxed.

She smiled and said to Shan Xi, "I have explained everything. Song Xin will come to you if there is any problem with the shop outside, and Yin Ping will also help you with the things in the mansion. Don't be afraid, you can do it."

"Yes. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely try my best." Although Shan Xi was unsure, she would not show it at this time.

Her sister-in-law had arranged everything for her and even left helpers for her. If she couldn't handle it, she would be a complete waste.

"I've taken Tang Jiali away, so there's basically no trouble in our first house. Just be careful with Second Aunt. She's a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Don't be afraid. If she really causes trouble for you, will you fight back? As long as you are right, don't be afraid. Grandmother is a reasonable person. Although I can't comment on Second Uncle in other aspects, he is still trustworthy on major issues."

When Shan Xi heard that Tang Jiali was taken away by her sister-in-law, she was dazed for a moment. But her sister-in-law mentioned her second aunt again, and that little bit of daze passed in a flash.

Shan Xi nodded and said, "I know, sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't let you down."

"Okay! I'm optimistic about you. If there's something you can't solve, ask someone to pass on a message to me. Tongzhou isn't far away, I can get back in a day or two."

"Okay, I understand. Sister-in-law, take care of yourself. It's always worse outside than in the mansion." Shan Xi also wanted to care about Song Qingci, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to do.

My sister-in-law is very powerful. Many things seem to be easily solved in front of her. So, she could only say this dryly.

"Don't worry, I've never been one to put myself in a difficult position," Song Qingci said with a smile.

"It's almost time. I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself." Song Qingci said, and took Yinxing to the carriage.

Shan Li also finished saying goodbye to his family and got on the carriage.

The people in the general's mansion did not leave, but watched until the carriage was no longer visible before turning back.

Qi had already lost his patience.

This was the eldest wife's business, and had nothing to do with the second wife. They brought the people to the gate of the mansion early in the morning to get some fresh air.

If the old lady hadn't been here, she would have left long ago.

Shan Xi noticed Qi's impatience and understood what her sister-in-law said to her.

Whether she can manage the general's mansion smoothly depends on whether this second aunt will cause any trouble.

Song Qingci, Shan Li and their group finally managed to get out of the city gate while staggering.

As soon as the carriage left the city gate, Song Qingci shouted to stop.

Shan Li thought she was uncomfortable in the carriage and wanted to take a breath, so he pulled the carriage over.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Song Qingci did after getting off the car was to ask a guard who had been accompanying him to dismount.

"Aci, do you want to ride a horse?!" Shan Li only reacted when Song Qingci took the reins.

"Yes. Horses are not allowed on the streets of the capital, but now that we are outside the city gates, we should be able to ride horses." Compared to carriages, Song Qingci prefers riding horses.

Today's carriages have wooden wheels, and there are no rubber wheels to absorb shock. When the road is flat, it's OK, and some thick cushions in the carriage can basically maintain stability.

However, if you encounter a bumpy road, your intestines will be thrown out. After leaving the city gate of the capital, even if you take the official road, it is not very smooth. So Song Qingci didn't want to suffer.

She had already made up her mind that she would change horses once she left the city.

"Aci, if you want to ride a horse, you can just ride Jifeng." Jifeng is Dan Li's mount. Naturally, I will take it with me this time.

Now Jifeng was following behind their convoy.

"No need, this one is good enough." Song Qingci refused decisively.

You can tell from the name that it is a good horse, but the better the horse, the more personality it has. It will not easily let anyone other than its owner ride it. She should not bother with this.

Moreover, her riding skills are average. The main reason is that there are too few opportunities to ride a horse nowadays. There is no place to practice. Isn't driving in the city more pleasant than riding a horse?

So an ordinary horse will do. It would be a waste to give her a good horse.

After saying that, Song Qingci leaped up and got on the horse very smoothly, then he pulled the reins and rushed out.

There is only one official road. Even if Song Qingci has never been to Tongzhou, as long as he walks on the official road, he will not go wrong.

Seeing that Song Qingci had already left the others far behind, Shan Li hurried to Ji Feng's side, jumped on the horse, flicked the whip and chased after Song Qingci.

The group of people were left looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Yinxing popped her head out of the carriage and said to the driver, "We just need to go at a normal speed. The young lady will be waiting for us at the post station ahead."
