Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Inside the clinic, Cai Lian was intently preparing medicine. She skillfully wrapped the medicine and asked with a smile, "Aunt Li, how is Uncle Li's condition now?"

"Thank you, Miss Cailian. He's much better now and can even do some simple physical work. Thank you so much!" Aunt Li replied with a face full of gratitude.

“No need to be so polite, Aunt Li. If you want to thank someone, you should thank our boss. It is her kind help that has given hope to many people who cannot afford medical treatment.” Cai Lian continued softly.

Aunt Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, she is a living Bodhisattva."

Cailian saw Aunt Li off with a smile.

She was filled with emotion. Yes, it was a blessing to meet Miss.

......

"Master, you're back." As soon as Wang Jingnian stepped into the mansion, Aunt Qiu from the Tongpan Prefecture stepped forward gracefully to greet him.

Aunt Qiu was a new concubine that Wang Jingnian took after he came to Mofang City. She was beautiful, intelligent and quick-witted, and very good at handling affairs and speaking, so she was deeply favored by Wang Jingnian.

Aunt Qiu had a daughter named Wang Wan'er.

Wang Jingnian's wife and children were in the capital and did not come with him.

The only person who accompanied him to Mofang City was Mo Yun, who was originally a maidservant serving his wife and was later promoted to concubine.

"Mm." Wang Jingnian nodded slightly in response.

"Father!" Wang Wan'er called out urgently.

Looking at his impetuous daughter, Wang Jingnian felt a pang of heartache.

Located on the frontier, Mofang City lacked the well-developed system for raising girls found in the capital. The relatively rugged environment here made it difficult to provide the same level of meticulous education and upbringing for women as it did in the capital.

"Out playing again? What's the rush?" Wang Jingnian said.

Wang Wan'er said urgently, "Father, I didn't."

Aunt Qiu quickly interrupted, "Master, let's start the meal."

Wang Jingnian also doted on this daughter, so he didn't say anything more.

"Father, does the General really have a fiancée?" Wang Wan'er couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jingnian said, "Eat your food properly."

"father".

Aunt Qiu glared at her daughter.

Wang Wan'er could only pout and concentrate on eating.

Wang Wan'er returned to her bedroom, her heart filled with doubt, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qing, tell me, does the General really have a fiancée? I've never heard of this before, could it be a lie?"

Xiaoqing was Wang Wan'er's maid. After hearing this, she didn't know how to respond. She could only say, "Miss, about the General..." She didn't continue, after all, how could she casually discuss the General's affairs?

Xiaoqing thought to herself that her young mistress had been restless ever since she heard that the general had a fiancée.

How could she, as a maid, not know the young lady's feelings for the general?

But how could her young lady possibly aspire to be with someone like the general? Yet, seeing her young lady in such a state, she felt a pang of heartache.

......

Today, Su Lianxue made a special trip to meet with the renowned Ye Chenshang, hoping to establish a business partnership with him.

Ye Chenshang controls the most prestigious money exchange in the Great Chu Kingdom.

He and Su Lianxue's maternal grandfather were once business tycoons, each leading the way in the business world.

Su Lianxue is now focused on buying and selling goods and plans to introduce medicinal herbs and furs from the border regions to the capital. Therefore, her cooperation with Ye Chenshang is of paramount importance.

Su Lianxue: "Mr. Ye, I've long admired your name. It's a great honor to discuss cooperation with you today."

Ye Chenshang nodded slightly, his eyes carrying a meaningful look: "I didn't expect Miss Su to be so good at business at such a young age."

"Boss Ye really knows how to talk," Su Lianxue said.

"I wonder what specific ideas Miss Su has?" Ye Chen asked.

With a determined look in her eyes, Su Lianxue calmly said, "Boss Ye, I believe that medicinal herbs and furs from the border are in high demand in the capital. If we join forces and integrate resources, we will definitely be able to achieve something."

Ye Chenshang raised an eyebrow slightly and let out a barely audible "Oh".

Su Lianxue continued, "I have stable supply channels at the border, while you have extensive connections and numerous shops in the capital. Our complementary strengths will surely lead to a win-win situation."

Ye Chenshang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought: "Miss Su's words make sense. I just wonder, Miss Su, what method do you intend to use for this cooperation?"

"How about we split the profits 50/50?" Su Lianxue said decisively.

Ye Chenshang's lips curled up slightly: "Deal."

Su Lianxue said, "I have one request: when the goods are transported to the capital, my people must accompany them."

Ye Chenshang looked at the girl before him, finding her quite interesting. He replied, "Since Miss Su is so magnanimous, I have no problem with it either."

Ye Chenshang continued, "Miss is so talented, she is somewhat like someone from the capital, who was also a very outstanding person, it's just a pity..."

He couldn't help but think of how the richest man in Jiangnan used to praise his clever and quick-witted granddaughter.

Su Lianxue said, "The first batch of goods will be delivered to Boss Ye tomorrow. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

......

Su Lianxue returned to the clinic and, after a moment's thought, decided to call Li Xin over.

When Li Xin came to her, Su Lianxue said, "Doctor Li, my cooperation with Ye Chenshang requires someone to go to the capital."

"You grew up in the capital and know it like the back of your hand. Moreover, you come from an official family. In terms of both connections and familiarity with the capital, you are the best candidate to go to the capital this time. Are you willing?"

Li Xin immediately replied, "I am a criminal, yet I am so fortunate to be valued by you, Miss. Whatever your orders, I will do my utmost."

Su Lianxue: "Your mission this time is of great importance."

"Firstly, you must do your utmost to expand trade in the capital and further strengthen our business there."

"Secondly, we must pay close attention to the movements in the capital, especially the situation of the Third Prince, the third-ranked scholar, and the Minister's residence."

"Li Xin will definitely do his best!" Li Xin said solemnly, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

Inside the tranquil clinic, sunlight streamed through the carved window frames, casting soft dappled patterns.

Su Lianxue thought for a moment, then walked lightly closer to Li Xin, leaned down slightly, and whispered softly in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Li Xin's eyes flashed with light, and then he nodded solemnly.

......

After Ling Lin's comprehensive and thorough investigation, it was confirmed that Cai Lian's identity was not suspicious at all.

This result is crucial for Su Lianxue, because she cannot keep people with questionable identities around her; the reliability of those around her is a solid support for Su Lianxue's progress.

With Cai Lian's identity being absolutely reliable, Su Lianxue was able to give her complete trust without any reservations.

As for the capital, that was the place Su Lianxue was determined to return to; she was simply waiting for the right opportunity.
