Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Chapter 290 I will always be pampered

The lazy winter sun shone on the courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion, where red plum blossoms stood proudly against the snow, their crimson petals swaying gracefully in the cold wind.

Inside the warm pavilion, the charcoal fire roared, illuminating the room with a cozy warmth. Su Lianxue sat together with her personal maid, Xiaomei, and a group of maids, chatting and laughing softly, creating an exceptionally warm atmosphere.

Xiao Mei lowered her head slightly, pondered for a while, a hint of longing flashing in her dark eyes, and then said softly, "Your Highness, I don't have any particularly extravagant desires. If I could find a soulmate on this long journey of life, that would be the best thing. However, since I started serving Your Highness, I have received so much care from you and have long regarded serving Your Highness as my lifelong duty. I really can't bear to leave Your Highness, so it would be best if it were someone from the household. In this way, I can have my own little life and still be loyal to Your Highness, serving my mistress at any time."

As Xiaomei spoke, a slight blush rose on her cheeks, her voice soft yet firm.

Su Lianxue listened quietly, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, filled with emotion.

She gently held Xiaomei's hand and said softly, "Xiaomei, I understand your feelings. Your words must have expressed what Xiaotao and the others are thinking. You value me so much, how could I not cherish you? Don't worry, in the future, I will definitely take care of your life's important matters, find good men, and let you all have a happy ending."

Su Lianxue's words were like a spring breeze, warming the hearts of every maid.

Everyone was chatting animatedly, immersed in the warm atmosphere. Suddenly, a series of steady yet hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. Su Lianxue's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She knew without guessing that His Highness Chu Mohan had returned.

As the door was pushed open, a biting gust of cold wind, carrying a chill, rushed into the room like a tide. Chu Mohan's tall figure appeared in the doorway. His black cloak was now covered with a thin layer of snow, shimmering in the afterglow of the setting sun. His boots were also covered with a few shards of ice, leaving shallow marks with each step.

Upon seeing His Highness's return, everyone inside quieted down and rose to pay their respects.

Chu Mohan strode into the house and immediately saw Su Lianxue about to get up to greet him. He quickly waved his hand, his voice full of concern and care: "Don't move. It's terribly cold outside. I'm carrying the chill, so don't let you catch a cold."

After saying that, he quickly walked to the charcoal fire to dispel some of the chill from his body before turning to walk towards Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue looked at Chu Mohan before her, her eyes smiling, her gaze filled with deep affection and longing. Now, her relationship with Chu Mohan had become increasingly harmonious and tacit. There was no need for deliberate flattery or ingratiation; their mutual care and tenderness were naturally revealed in the little things of life.

Su Lianxue gazed at Chu Mohan, her heart filled with tenderness and affection.

If it weren't for the fact that her grandfather's whereabouts and fate are still unknown, she would feel incredibly content with her current life, as if it would allow her to let go of those unforgettable past pains.

However, until her grandfather was found, she would not let go of any of those who had cruelly hurt her and her family. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would spare no effort to find out the truth, to seek justice for herself and her family, and to let justice prevail.

"Your Highness must have recruited quite a few talented people today."

Su Lianxue moved lightly to Chu Mohan's side and asked softly.

She knew that Chu Mohan's purpose in going out today was to recruit talented people, expand his power, and lay the foundation for his future endeavors. Seeing that Chu Mohan's face showed some fatigue, but his eyes were filled with excitement and joy, Su Lianxue guessed that he must have gained a lot.

After the chill on his body had completely dissipated, Chu Mohan slowly reached out and gently pulled Su Lianxue into his arms.

He took a deep breath, as if trying to absorb Su Lianxue's unique aura into the depths of his soul.

He was extremely concerned about Su Lianxue's health. He not only specially instructed the military doctors of Mofang City to take care of her health regularly, but also arranged for Zhang Mama to take good care of her.

With everyone's careful care, Su Lianxue's complexion now looks rosier and her overall appearance has improved significantly.

Chu Mohan gently placed his head on Su Lianxue's head and said tenderly, "All of this is inseparable from Madam's efforts. If it weren't for Madam's exceptional wisdom and advice, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly today."

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue simply smiled and said nothing more.

As night deepened, she, who had been full of energy, suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and her eyelids began to droop.

Ignoring everything else, she gently closed her eyes, her heart filled with trust and reliance on Chu Mohan. She knew that by His Highness's side, she would always be well cared for.

Looking at Su Lianxue, who had immediately fallen asleep, Chu Mohan couldn't help but feel both amused and heartbroken.

He truly couldn't bear to let her suffer even the slightest bit, so he resignedly picked her up, walked lightly to the bedside, and carefully placed her gently on the bed.

He picked up the blanket from the side and gently covered Su Lianxue with it. Then he climbed onto the bed himself, lay down beside her, and quietly gazed at her sleeping face.

He thought to himself how fortunate he was to have met Su Lianxue in the vast sea of ​​people. She was like a dazzling pearl, illuminating his world.

He secretly vowed that he would never let her suffer any more harm. In truth, he knew that without Su Lianxue, it would have been difficult to approach and navigate such a complex relationship with the Empress so smoothly.

Although he would send gifts to the imperial relatives every year during festivals to maintain superficial relationships, those were merely for show. None were as astute as Su Lianxue, who keenly observed the Empress's infertility and cleverly used this to gain the upper hand in the treacherous court intrigues.

His wife is so intelligent and kind, how could anyone in the world bear to hurt her?

However, he also silently thanked those who had hurt Su Lianxue. If it weren't for their actions that caused Su Lianxue so much suffering, he might not have been able to meet and get to know her.

However, Su Lianxue had suffered far too much before, and he only hoped that from now on, she could be surrounded by happiness forever and be free from pain.

Chu Mohan stared at Su Lianxue quietly for a long time, reluctant to look away.

He knew that Su Lianxue's health was improving and she was now at the stage where she could have children with him.

However, he still wanted her to recuperate for a while longer, given her previously severely weakened health. He eagerly awaited their wedding day, when Su Lianxue would completely belong to him, and they would walk hand in hand through the long years, facing the storms of the future together.
