It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Avi?"

Hearing Lu Sui calling her, Yuan Buwei came back to her senses, met his concerned eyes, and smiled softly: "I was not liked by my parents to begin with, but I ended up marrying better than my sister, so why should I be dissatisfied?"

"But I'm like this now..." Lu Sui suddenly understood why soldiers always reported good news but not bad news to their families.

"Take your time. It's not like you can't stand up. Others can't do it, but Lu Sui can definitely do it."

Lu Sui looked up at Yuan Buwei. His heart, which had been wavering, suddenly calmed down at this moment, as if it had found its home.

"Awei, no matter how difficult it is, will you stay with me?"

"You want me to remarry?"

"What do you mean by remarrying?" Lu Sui was shocked.

"Then why do you ask such a question? I am your wife. If I don't accompany you, should I let Li Yan or Mu Qing accompany you?"

Lu Sui: “…”

Yuan Buwei's words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished Lu Sui's restless heart.

"Mu Qing, I will not use her again. As for Li Yan, he needs to run between the Swift Wind Camp and Wan Ning Marquis' Mansion to report to me about the Swift Wind Camp, so I need someone who can stay in the Swift Wind Camp..."

"Someone like you." Yuan Buwei said for Lu Sui, "This person should not only trust you 100%, but also share the same ideals with you. He should be able to carry out your instructions well, help you avoid all problems, and strive for everyone's interests as appropriate."

"Correct."

"Hearing the young marquis's confident tone, he must have found a good candidate?"

Lu Sui shook his head, his tone dejected: "It's useless to look for a good one, he probably won't help me anymore."

"Him?" Yuan Buwei asked, "Can you tell me who he is?"

"He is the military advisor of the Gale Battalion, and his name is Ning Xingzhou. Every time I won a battle before, it was inseparable from his advice, and he was able to minimize casualties every time. I, Lu Sui, rarely admire people sincerely, but he is the first one. He is two years older than me. To me, he is not only a military advisor, but also like an elder brother, someone who helps me grow."

Ning Xingzhou, this name is very unfamiliar.

"So where is he now?"

"In seclusion."

"what reason?"

"He had ideals and ambitions, but because he came from a poor family, he failed to get the ideal ranking in the imperial examinations several times. He wanted to try again, but his family could no longer afford to support his studies. He had no choice but to go out to find a job, but he ran into obstacles everywhere. By chance, he saw that the Gale Battalion was recruiting soldiers."

"Because the soldiers in the Swift Wind Camp were treated very well, he thought that since he could read and study, he would definitely have more opportunities, so he joined the Swift Wind Camp. When he was about to tell his family about this, he happened to hear his parents and his two brothers who had started families talking about dividing the family. It turned out that his parents were not stopping him from studying, but his brothers and sisters-in-law thought that it was okay for him not to work, but he was also spending the family's money, so they had some objections."

"and then?"

"Then he said that he would pay back the money that the family had spent over the years. So he worked very hard when he joined the Swift Wind Battalion. Or maybe he really had a talent for military affairs. When he picked up his first military book, he couldn't put it down. I valued talent, so I transferred him to my side. Facts have proved that my vision was correct."

"If that's the case, if he follows you, he will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing, and his family will also be better off. Why did he..." Yuan Buwei was a little puzzled. What was the reason that caused two people who were so sympathetic to each other to go their separate ways?

"He achieved some success, and many people came to him to propose marriage. His family arranged a marriage for him despite his objections. But he actually had a childhood sweetheart. He wanted to work harder, earn more money, and buy a house in the city, so he went to his childhood sweetheart's house to propose marriage. But his childhood sweetheart thought he had fallen in love with someone else, and wanted to go to the Swift Wind Camp to find him and ask questions. On the way, he encountered bandits and was abused to death."

Yuan Buwei's eyebrows suddenly frowned: "So he has a shadow?"

"Yes."

Lu Sui nodded. "Later, he and I personally led a team to wipe out the bandits. We also rescued many good women who were abducted by the bandits. I learned from the bandits that my childhood sweetheart could have survived because the bandits saw the silver chain around her neck. It was given to her by Ning Xingzhou. She had always cherished it. When she was fighting with the bandits for it, she was strangled to death by the angry bandits. Her body was thrown off the cliff and smashed into pulp."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.

Lu Sui continued, "In the end, he got the silver chain back, but he could never get his childhood sweetheart back. He couldn't get over this and was in a daze all day. Finally, one day, he told me that he wanted to leave the Swift Wind Camp. I didn't know how to comfort him, but I knew it was wrong to force him to stay, so I agreed. Later, I went to inquire about his situation. I heard that he was in poor health and rented a small courtyard outside. I would ask Li Yan to visit him every now and then, but he didn't want anything and just stayed quietly in that courtyard."

"He is in great pain and can only atone for his sins by self-abuse." Yuan Buwei sighed, "He is a love-struck man."

"His parents had brought him up, so he couldn't possibly hate them. But what made him most heartbroken was that after his childhood sweetheart's family found out about this, they went to his house and made a scene, extorting a large sum of money from him. They only cared about the money, and didn't even shed a tear for his childhood sweetheart."

"My childhood sweetheart regarded him as her salvation, so after she knew that his family had arranged a marriage for him, she had to go to the Swift Wind Camp to find out for sure, because she was determined to be with Ning Xingzhou. Without him, she would not be able to escape the cage that was gnawing at her flesh and blood."

"Yes."

Lu Sui closed his eyes: "I really want him to come back, but I don't know how to do it."

"How about I go see him some other day? You're in this state now, I don't believe he doesn't know or care." Yuan Buwei suggested, "And comfort him while I'm at it, as for the rest, we can talk about it later."

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"As your wife, it is my job to do these things." Yuan Buwei smiled at Lu Sui, "Just take care of yourself and cooperate with me in the health training."

"Of course I will cooperate with you." Lu Sui muttered.

"Madam, madam, I have brought the snacks."

"I went out and bought a lot of snacks. I'll give them to you to try."

"I don't like sweets."

"What a coincidence! I don't like sweet things either." Yuan Buwei looked at him with a smile, "So I bought all the salty ones. Can you please give me a taste?"

Just a few words swept away Lu Sui's inner boredom.

"it is good."

Outside the Mansion of Marquis Wanning.

A woman with two pigtails and carrying a bundle was swallowing nervously.

The next second, she strode up the stairs.
