Gu Jingzhi left the guard who came to report the news behind him and walked quickly towards the gate.

Gu Jingzhi slowed down his pace when he was near the gate. He did not do this to make trouble, but because he was afraid that she would say that she was not taking care of her body.

When he reached the gate, Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi standing outside the door. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked over. "Why are you here?"

"What? Not welcome?" Li Xi raised an eyebrow and asked back.

Gu Jingzhi took Li Xi's hand and walked back, "Of course not. I'm not afraid that you'll wait outside for too long. I've already told the guards that you can just come in next time."

"How's your body?"

Gu Jingzhi moved his arms and said, "The medicine you gave me is very effective. My injuries are almost healed now."

His medicine was made by Li Xi, so Li Xi naturally knew their efficacy. "It's almost healed, but not yet. If there is nothing to do in the army during this period, you should take good care of yourself. Don't take advantage of your good health and don't take care of yourself. You will suffer when you are old."

"I understand. I'll listen to you." Gu Jingzhi didn't think Li Xi's nagging was troublesome. He knew that she said that for his own good, and he felt sweet in his heart.

He could feel that something seemed to be wrong with Li Xi today, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was. However, he could feel that things were moving in a good direction.

"Have you been staying at home these days?" Li Xi was actually a little bit unconvinced. She felt that he was not someone who could sit idle.

"You told me to take good care of my injuries, and I'm listening." Gu Jingzhi smiled gently.

Li Xi felt a little uncomfortable looking at him like this. How should I put it? Obedient? I always felt that this word had nothing to do with him.

But since he said so, Li Xi did not doubt it. She believed that he would not lie to her.

Gu Jingzhi did not lie to her. Although there were indeed many things waiting to be dealt with in the army, most of them were not important. Moreover, with Gu Changfeng in charge of the army, the only relatively important thing was the matter of Dayuezhi.

Gu Changfeng has already sent a report to the capital regarding the Dayuezhi incident. What they need to do now is to guard the iron mine and the Dayuezhi captives and wait for a reply from the capital.

There is really nothing else.

The Huns were frightened and the border was temporarily stable. The harvest season was about to come, and the lives of the people living on the border were visibly getting better today.

Li Xi was led by Gu Jingzhi back to his courtyard. Although there were not many servants and maids in the general's mansion, they were still seen by many people along the way.

Mrs. Feng was the first to know about Li Xi's arrival. She wanted to go out to see, but was stopped by Madam Feng.

"Ma'am, don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious? I have been worrying about Jingzhi's marriage for so many years, but he can't even get one. Whenever I urge him, he always says that he should build a career first and then start a family.

He finally fell in love with a girl, and I think she has a good personality, but her life story is a bit miserable."

Mrs. Feng sighed, "But it is precisely because of this that I cannot let anyone treat her with contempt or look down upon her.

Her affair with Jingzhi is now known to everyone, and it can't continue like this.

Jingzhi is already grown up and it is time for him to get married.

Axi is young and has no elders at home, so I have to consider many things for her."

The girl Axi is already pitiful enough. If Jingzhi dares to do something wrong to her, don't blame her as a mother for sacrificing her own family for the sake of justice.

Aunt Feng smiled and said, "Madam has always been kind-hearted. It is a blessing for Miss Li to have a sensible mother-in-law like Madam."

Mrs. Feng waved her hand and said, "What's the blessing or not? The relationship between people comes from everywhere. That girl is thoughtful."

Interactions between people are always mutual.

Ever since she knew about the relationship between Li Xi and Gu Jingzhi, Mrs. Feng felt sorry for Li Xi who had to take care of the family alone at such a young age and raise her younger brother, so she would often have people send them clothes and supplies. As for food, Gu Jingzhi would deliver it three meals a day, but after thinking it over, she decided not to send any more.

We must always give her a chance to show her ignorance of romance.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but frown. What good person wouldn't give his or her partner jewelry, rouge, and meals every day? The thought of it made her feel disgusted.

Li Xi had no intention of accepting the things sent by Mrs. Feng at first, because none of the clothes, jewelry, or supplies she sent were cheap. She was dating Gu Jingzhi, and this was her first time to fall in love with someone else. Although she didn't understand much, she always felt that too much money should not be mixed in relationships.

But Mrs. Feng was so enthusiastic and Nanny Feng was so good at talking that she had no choice but to accept it.

After accepting it, Li Xi still felt a little embarrassed, so she took the initiative to go to the general's mansion, took Madam Feng's pulse, looked at her previous pulse records, and then prescribed some conditioning medicine for her, and also gave Madam Feng some dietary therapy recipes.

Although Mrs. Feng had never suffered any hardship in her life, she had always been well-dressed and well-fed from birth to marriage, and was loved by her parents and doted on by her husband. She could be considered to have lived a happy life, but she still had some health problems to a greater or lesser extent.

In fact, it was mainly an environmental disease. Mrs. Feng must have lived in a place with a warm and pleasant climate before. It was inevitable that she could not adapt to the bitterly cold north after following General Gu.

Even though she had been at the border for so many years and felt that she had adapted to the environment of the far north of Dayan, the human body would not lie, and she would always have migraines from time to time.

When the pain doesn't come, there is nothing wrong with her, but when it does, it is really annoying. She has seen many doctors, but they all said it was a chronic disease and could not be cured. Doctor Wu also saw her in person and prescribed some medicine, which did work, but the disease would relapse soon after she stopped taking it.

Mrs. Feng knew that Li Xi was a good doctor, but she didn't think her skills were better than Dr. Wu's, so she didn't have any expectations at the beginning, but she just couldn't bear to let the child down.

What she didn't expect was that after taking a few doses of medicine, her migraine symptoms really began to ease slowly. Later, her condition got better and better. After several courses of treatment, Li Xi came to her house for a follow-up visit, and then stopped taking the medicine directly.

She thought that after stopping the medication, her migraine would relapse like before, but unexpectedly, she never had a migraine again after that.

This migraine has been with her for more than ten years. She thought it would last her whole life, but she didn't expect that she could cure it with just a few prescriptions.

People who have never had a migraine don’t know how excruciating it is when it occurs. In order not to worry people around her, she endured it every time an attack occurred. This time she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had always liked Li Xi, and liked her even more after this incident. Sometimes she even felt that her own son was not worthy of A Xi at all. If he was not her son, she would not help him.
