Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Su Lianxue turned slightly to the side, her gaze falling on Ling Lin: "Deputy General Ling, please take good care of your general."

"We must not let him act rashly and impulsively. The situation is complex and fraught with danger. The general bears a heavy responsibility, and his safety is related to the fate of many people."

"You must remain vigilant at all times and not be complacent in the slightest."

“If the general does anything reckless, you must dissuade him immediately and not let him act recklessly. The general is hot-tempered and sometimes he may act impulsively, but you must understand that his safety is of utmost importance.”

"On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and accidents can happen at any time. As someone close to him, you must protect the general."

Su Lianxue said with concern.

Ling Lin immediately straightened up: "Miss, rest assured, I will do my best to protect the General at all times and will never fail your trust. No matter what happens, I will ensure the General's safety."

Chu Mohan looked embarrassed and said, "This general's martial arts are superb, why would I need him to protect me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue's beautiful eyes widened, and she glared fiercely at the general.

Upon seeing this, Chu Mohan quickly touched his nose and dared not utter another word.

When Ling Lin and the other guards saw the general's appearance, they almost burst out laughing. They were secretly delighted; finally, someone could control the general. Miss Su was truly remarkable; the general finally had someone he feared.

The general, who was usually so imposing, was now like a tamed beast in front of her, docile and obedient.

They couldn't help but feel more respect for Su Lianxue, and at the same time, they hoped that under her influence, the general would cherish himself more and not be so reckless.

......

In the capital, gazing at the familiar streets, Li Xin's expression shifted slightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes. Since his family's downfall, he had never imagined he would return here again.

Once, every blade of grass, every brick and tile here was so familiar, carrying his childhood memories and family glory.

However, a twist of fate caused him to plummet from the heights of success to the depths of despair. The conviction of his family dealt him a heavy blow, forcing him to leave his hometown and wander from place to place.

Now, stepping onto this familiar land once again, his heart is filled with mixed emotions. There is nostalgia for the past, reflection on the fate of his family, and even more so, confusion and unease about the future.

His heart was filled with emotion, and he was deeply grateful for the kindness shown to him by the general and Miss Su. They extended a helping hand when he was at his lowest point, giving him their trust and support, which helped him find his direction in life again.

He secretly resolved to repay them properly and to do what Miss Su had instructed.

Cai Lian stared wide-eyed at this incredibly prosperous place, her eyes filled with amazement. She kept exclaiming in wonder, as if she had entered a dream world.

She had never seen such a beautiful place before; the streets were lined with shops, bustling with people.

The exquisite buildings and magnificent decorations all showcased the prosperity and abundance of this place. Her heart was filled with curiosity and longing, but also with a touch of inferiority and unease. She felt like a tiny ant, insignificant in this bustling world.

"Dr. Li, I heard that your home used to be here?" Cai Lian couldn't help but ask, her voice filled with curiosity and a hint of probing.

Li Xin stared at that familiar place, his eyes revealing complex emotions.

Memories flooded my mind like a tide; the family's past glory and laughter seemed to still echo in my ears.

However, everything has changed. His heart is filled with pain and helplessness, as well as a faint sense of nostalgia.

He said slowly, "Those are all things of the past. You must never mention them in front of others again." His tone was heavy and resolute, as if he wanted to bury that painful memory forever.

Cailian glanced at Li Xin's expression and obediently shut her mouth, no longer saying a word.

She could sense the pain and helplessness in Li Xin's heart, and she also understood that some things should not be touched lightly. She silently stayed by Li Xin's side, giving him some strength and support.

......

"Miss, Lin Yuexi and Ye Zhi are arguing again," Xiao Tao said to Su Lianxue.

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue raised her eyebrows slightly and said helplessly, "Let them argue, as long as they don't go too far."

After all, one of these two people was sent by the Empress, and the other by the Imperial Concubine.

Both of them were delicate and charming women. In this general's mansion, they were like pearls misplaced among rubble, which was a real waste of their beautiful faces.

Su Lianxue had previously joked with the general, saying, "With such a beautiful woman around, why doesn't the general take her?"

But the general replied solemnly, "These women are all no good." This answer left Su Lianxue speechless for a moment, but a surge of joy quietly welled up in her heart.

Su Lianxue suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiao Tao, is Yun Que'er's mother feeling any better now?"

Xiao Tao replied, "I'm much better now, and I can get up and do chores again."

After a moment's thought, Su Lianxue said, "Since we don't have anything urgent to do today, let's go and take a look ourselves."

Yun Que'er is an eight-year-old boy whom Su Lianxue rescued not long ago.

At that time, he was being bullied by a group of beggars. His medicine bag was scattered all over the ground. He cried and screamed desperately, trying to pick up the medicine from the ground, but he was constantly stopped.

Seeing this, Su Lianxue ordered her guards to help. Unfortunately, the medicine was no longer usable. Looking at the medicine, Su Lianxue recognized it as a free medicine packet distributed by her family's pharmacy.

So she took the little boy with her, went back to the shop, and got him the medicine again.

Su Lianxue asked softly, "What's your name?"

The little boy answered timidly, "It's...it's...the lark."

"Where are your parents? Why did they ask you to come out and get the medicine?"

“My mother is very ill, and my father has disappeared and hasn’t come home in a long time. I also have a younger sister,” Yun Que’er said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue felt a pang of pain in her heart and said, "Your mother is sick. Can she still walk? If not, I'll send a doctor to your house to take a look."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!" Yun Que'er was so excited she almost cried.

At first, Su Lianxue thought Yun Que'er was only four or five years old, but after asking, she learned that he was already eight years old.

He was so thin and small that it was hard to imagine his actual age.

Yun Que'er's home was a simple, ordinary house located at the foot of the city wall of Mofang City.

Only after the doctor went to examine her did he learn that Yun Que'er's mother's condition was extremely serious.
