However, in this atmosphere, the general's mansion seemed particularly awkward. After much effort, Qiao Chuxue finally got the position of a concubine.

Although he had participated in two banquets because the General's Mansion had no hostess, under Lan Hanlu's halo, although she was not squeezed out because of the General's Mansion, she was completely ignored.

Qiao Chuxue was a patient person, but she couldn't help but rip a few handkerchiefs. If Lou Xiaoyue was busy, he could have resisted her by showing her some concern.

But on the fourth day after the division of property and separation, Lou Xiao asked for permission to suppress the bandits. Although Qingzi was very strange, everyone expressed their understanding, and the emperor generously gave him the imperial edict.

It has been more than two months since I left, from the beginning of autumn to now, it is almost the New Year.

Because Lan Hanlu was away, the household management of the mansion was taken over by Qiao Chuxue. Although she was not very familiar with household management as she came from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was not completely ignorant of it.

Because of her previous indifference, she tried hard to handle the matter of the New Year gifts, and she must not let the ladies in the capital look down on her.

She also sent someone to take some money to where her two brothers were. She was not doing this out of kindness. Instead, she sent someone to keep the two families there.

Not only them, but also their descendants, must never come to the capital to cause trouble for her.

The bigger the event, the bigger the expenses. Although Lou Xiao brought back a lot of spoils, and Lan Hanlu had managed the business well over the past two years, the General's Mansion was still very poor, having only been established for two or three years.

After Qiao Chuxue's actions, the general's mansion was suddenly empty. Although the remaining things were precious, they could not be exchanged for money.

If you sell something with a family emblem for money, you're being shamelessly trampled upon. If you dare to sell something given by the emperor, you're punishable by death.

Just as Qiao Chuxue won over some people because of the expensive New Year gifts, after all, wealthy families do not necessarily live a well-off life.

But when spring plowing began in the spring, the general's mansion was stretched to the limit. To make matters worse, Lou Xiao was accidentally injured while suppressing bandits. The injury was not too serious, but he was in a coma.

When he was bandaged and sent back, he had not yet woken up. The imperial physician came over and took a look at him and wrote a prescription. The medicinal materials were precious and expensive.

After he had taken three doses of medicine, the mansion was actually out of money. Qiao Chuxue had calculated very well at the time that if Lou Xiao had not been injured, the shops would have been able to settle their seasonal bills in ten days, and this money would have solved the current predicament.

Having a new master in the house wasn't just about having an extra pair of chopsticks, but who could blame Lou Xiao for being injured? The reward for the imperial physician and the money for the medicine had completely gone through the two cents in the account.

Seeing that Lou Xiao had just woken up, the medicine naturally could not be stopped. Qiao Chuxue had no choice but to ask the maid beside her to take the two jade ornaments in the mansion to sell.

Who knew that Lizhi would find out. Lizhi originally wanted to take care of the general personally while he was injured, so that their friendship could go further.

But Qiao Chuxue was very defensive against her and wouldn't let her get close to him at all, but she kept getting closer to him like an indestructible cockroach. After a while, she discovered this.

She took this matter and sold it to Madam Huang for a good price. Since Madam Huang knew about it, Lan Hanlu would also know about it.

Lan Hanlu thought about it and asked Madam Huang to take two boxes with 5000 yuan and put the two jade ornaments in them, and then asked someone to send it over.

Lou Xiao, who had just woken up, felt dazed, with scenes of Lan Hanlu marrying him and dying flashing through his mind.

And the son blamed himself for his mother's death. Didn't he blame himself too? He had let down the woman who had devoted herself to him.

Then another memory flashed through his mind. Unlike the previous experience, this time Lulu actually separated from him because he brought Qiao Chuxue back.

Enduring the dizziness, he finally figured out what was going on. He had come back to life through his own body and returned to the year when he had just won the battle.

If his guess was correct, Lulu's situation should be similar to his, because if he thought about it carefully, he would know that it had been since he gave the silver to Qiao Chuxue.

Lulu's attitude towards him changed. Maybe she came back at that time, so they didn't have children and there might not even be any entanglements in the future, because Lulu had kicked him out of her life.

Seeing that he was still dazed after waking up, Qiao Chuxue, Lizhi and the others were very anxious. When the housekeeper brought the doctor over to take his pulse, Lou Xiao finally reacted.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor confirmed that everything was fine and that they just needed to rest well.

Lou Xiao looked at the strange yet familiar people around him and sighed in his heart. He wished he could come back earlier.

Seeing that no one else was in the room, the housekeeper handed the box that Lan Hanlu had brought to Lou Xiao. "General, this was sent by Madam. I don't know what it is, but I'll take care of it for you now that you're awake."

Lou Xiao opened the box and found a letter on top, followed by a banknote. He picked up the letter and opened it to read it carefully. He was filled with joy, but as he read the letter, he felt his face burning.

Then he opened the box containing the jade ornaments. When Qiao Chuxue saw the two boxes, her face turned pale and her mind raced.

By the time the box was opened, all her hope was gone.

At this time, Lizhi said with a smile, "Oh, these are the two jade ornaments that Madam collected specially to pay off the debt when she was here. She said they were clear in color and exquisitely carved.

I'll put it in the general's study someday. Why is it here? Should I put it up now?"

Now no one cared about her artificial performance. They were all attracted by his words. Lou Xiao even closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Chuxue, you are not in good health, so you should leave the housekeeping to Madam Du. She has been with Madam for a long time and should be able to manage the house. I will ask Madam Du to get your account book back later."

He added this sentence because he knew that the women in the inner house attached great importance to the power of the housekeeper and were afraid that Qiao Chuxue would be unwilling to hand over the account book.

Qiao Chuxue's lips trembled slightly, her face pale, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Lou Xiao, "Ah, Ah Xiao, this is all my fault. Chuchu, the housekeeper, is inexperienced, and it's the end of the year, and there are many social interactions in the capital. So..."

She hesitated, describing her own difficulties. But Lou Xiao was no longer the same Lou Xiao from her previous life. With a lifetime of experience, she knew she was trying to shirk responsibility.

But his main task now is to take care of his health and then go see Lan Hanlu. He doesn't have time to follow her around and deal with such matters in the harem.
