Su Li was also surprised that Zhao Zexuan would bow to her in front of everyone, which also refreshed her understanding of Zhao Zexuan.

After only a moment of stunned silence, Su Li quickly reached out to Zhao Zexuan to help him up before saying, "No need for formalities. This is what I should do. It is my honor to be able to contribute my modest efforts to Lingcheng."

As Su Li helped him stand up, Zhao Zexuan said, "This is not a small contribution; it is the logistical support for the entire army."

As soon as Zhao Zexuan finished speaking, the generals behind him said in unison, "Madam, the general is right. Without sufficient food supplies, things would not have progressed so smoothly."

Looking into the sincere eyes of the generals, Su Li smiled back and then said to Zhao Zexuan and the generals and soldiers behind him, "Fortunately, all the difficulties have been overcome. You have all worked hard. Go into the city and rest. We have prepared a lot of things to reward you."

Upon hearing Su Li's words, the generals and soldiers present all widened their eyes, their excitement evident.

Of course, Zhao Zexuan also noticed this, and nodded with a smile, agreeing, "Then let's go into the city."

The army couldn't enter the city in a short time, so Zhao Zexuan and other generals had to stay at the city gate to maintain discipline, while Su Li returned to her residence first.

No sooner had they returned home than Old Madam Zhao and Old Master Zhao arrived together, their eyes revealing a hint of anxiety.

That year, Su Li's relationship with the two elders had improved considerably, so she naturally guessed their purpose in coming.

As Su Li expected, the two elders asked with slight anxiety, "Ze Xuan is back, isn't he?"

Hearing this, Su Li smiled and nodded, saying, "The army is entering the city one after another. He is currently directing the soldiers to enter the city at the city gate. It will probably be a while before he can return to his residence."

Although they hadn't seen the person yet, they felt much more at ease after hearing Su Li's words, and they regained their usual composure.

"Today is a day for family reunion, how about we have a reunion dinner?" Su Li suggested.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Dasao and her family are no longer in Lingcheng or the mansion, but in Lingnan.

After the trouble in Lingnan was stopped, Zhao Dasao and the others went to Lingnan under the protection of soldiers. Now they are living peacefully with their husbands.

After Sister-in-law Zhao and the others left Lingcheng, the two elders found themselves alone for a long time. Of course, Su Li noticed this in time and sent the three children to their courtyard to help take care of them.

With the company of her three children, the two elders no longer felt lonely, and this also brought Su Li closer to them, making them less distant.

Because of this change, when Zhao Zexuan returned home and saw such a harmonious scene, he was somewhat incredulous.

Su Li was the first to notice Zhao Zexuan's return to the manor. Seeing Zhao Zexuan standing there in a daze without saying a word, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize us?"

Hearing Su Li's words, Zhao Zexuan finally realized what was happening and explained, "The children have changed a lot in the year I've been away; I almost didn't recognize them."

Upon hearing the familiar voices, Madam Zhao and Grandpa Zhao excitedly stood up from their chairs and said, "Fifth son, you're finally back."
