Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Secondly, I will assign people to protect you, and you must maintain close contact with them. Wherever you are, you must report your whereabouts at all times. Only by knowing your location can I provide timely assistance when necessary. Furthermore, having someone by your side provides an extra layer of protection in case of danger.

Thirdly, in dangerous situations, one should not act recklessly.

Fourth, your health is not good, and you cannot overwork yourself. If I find that you do not take care of your health, I will forbid you from going out.

Remember, your safety and health are my top priorities. I will only feel comfortable letting you do this if you agree to these conditions.

Su Lianxue felt as if she were enveloped by a warm current, the warmth spreading to every corner of her body.

For a long time, no one had ever shown her such concern. At such a moment, how could she possibly disagree? So, she nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

......

Since Su Lianxue wanted to run a clinic, Chu Mohan assigned her the position of military doctor. After all, it was better to have someone knowledgeable and skilled in the field handle the efficacy of various medicinal herbs and how to properly preserve them.

Su Lianxue also knew that she needed to make good use of the strengths of different people in order to do business well, so she gladly accepted the general's good intentions.

The military doctor had been staying at the manor because of Su Lianxue's illness. Since Chu Mohan summoned the military doctor to treat Su Lianxue, he has now given the doctor to Su Lianxue, so he will no longer need to return to the military camp.

Now, he is considered Su Lianxue's person. On the one hand, he can take care of Su Lianxue, and on the other hand, he can help Su Lianxue manage matters related to medicinal herbs.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman." In such a short time, the two of them were already deeply in love. But seeing that this rascal had found his other half, he was truly happy.

......

On this day, Chu Mohan accompanied Su Lianxue out. Their goal was to find a suitable clinic to start their business. However, they unexpectedly ran into Shangguan Yu.

When Shangguan Yu noticed the veiled woman beside Chu Mohan, a sense of suspicion arose in her heart. Why did this person seem so familiar?

Seeing Shangguan Yu staring intently at Su Lianxue, Chu Mohan felt a surge of displeasure and said, "I didn't expect to meet the esteemed scholar here. But I wonder what your thoughts are on my fiancée?"

Shangguan Yu immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "General, you misunderstand. I just felt that this woman looked somewhat familiar."

"Oh? I didn't expect that the third-ranked scholar would have acquaintances in this remote place?"

"No, no, General, you've misunderstood."

Chu Mohan continued, "I've heard that the third-ranked scholar has been getting quite close to my deputy general lately."

"Mofang City is a vital border pass, teeming with spies. What information do you wish to gather? And to whom will this information be delivered?"

"As a border general, I cannot help but suspect that you are colluding with the enemy."

"General, you misunderstand. It is my duty to escort the princess to the marriage alliance."

"The mission of the marriage alliance has long been completed, yet you are still lingering here. This makes me suspicious."

"For the sake of peace on the border, please return as soon as possible, Scholar. Otherwise, I will write to the court and clearly explain your various actions here."

Hearing such stern words, Shangguan Yu could only say, "General, you have misunderstood. I will depart tomorrow."

"The reason I stayed here for a while was simply to bring back some local specialties."

After returning to his residence, Shangguan Yu felt that the woman was familiar to him, so he went to the prefect's residence.

On one hand, he wanted to express his gratitude and bid farewell to the magistrate; on the other hand, he wanted to inquire about the woman's identity.

Although the prefect was eager to curry favor with Shangguan Yu, after years in officialdom and being in Mofang City, he still dared not reveal the general's affairs to outsiders, especially since this person was the Third Prince's man. There were too many twists and turns involved, so it was better to be cautious. Therefore, when Shangguan Yu pressed him for answers, he just dodged the question and glossed over the matter.

Shangguan Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Old fox."

Apart from Zhang Fu and the magistrate, there was nothing else gained from this trip.

He originally thought that with his status as a third-place scholar in the capital, some people would give him some face, but he never expected to run into obstacles everywhere and be treated coldly.

Especially that general, who seemed to be opposing him at every turn.

Prior to this, he had never interacted with this general, so why was the general so unfriendly to him? Therefore, considering the circumstances, although the prefect did not express his opinion explicitly, he was unwilling to delve too deeply into the matter.

Once we return, the Third Prince will surely inquire about the details of this trip, so that I can give him an explanation.

The following day, Shangguan Yu set off. Upon his departure, the prefectural judge and Zhang Fu, among others, came to see him off, and the general also dispatched officials to bid him farewell with official ceremony.

Watching Shangguan Yu's departing figure from afar, Su Lianxue silently thought, "We will definitely meet again soon, and you will surely thank me for the 'gift' I gave you."

......

After much deliberation, Su Lianxue finally decided to open her clinic in a bustling market area.

The area has a very high foot traffic, which is definitely beneficial for increasing the clinic's visibility.

In this way, the local people will know about the clinic, and more people will be able to come in when the clinic is buying medicinal herbs.

This is exactly what Su Lianxiang hoped to achieve.

At the same time, doing so can provide more help to the local people and improve their difficult lives.

The clinic was chosen in this location because although it is a market town with a large flow of people, it is not too noisy, thus creating a quiet environment for consultations.

......

On this day, Su Lianxue went out with Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei as usual, accompanied by two guards, Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen.

Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen were originally Chu Mo Han's bodyguards.

Because of the complex situation of the border personnel, and because Su Lianxue's importance in Chu Mohan's heart was growing, Chu Mohan was worried about Su Lianxue's safety, so he specially assigned the two of them to Su Lianxue.

In fact, neither of them was originally willing to follow Su Lianxue.

They believed that protecting Chu Mohan was their primary responsibility.

However, they had no choice but to obey Chu Mohan's orders. They had accompanied Chu Mohan since he arrived at the border, and were all highly trained individuals, truly invaluable.

In fact, Su Lianxue was not clear about the value of these two people at first, but she happily accepted Chu Mohan's kindness to her.

Later, she realized the significance of these two people and was truly moved to tears.
