Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

In the northern desert at night, the starlight in the sky is dazzling, like countless glittering gems set against the deep blue sky.

Compared to the night sky over Beijing, the starry sky here appears even more beautiful and dazzling, like a dreamlike painting. However, in Beijing today, she no longer has any relatives; all that remains are those who harmed her.

Su Lianxue tilted her head slightly, gazing at the dazzling starry sky, her thoughts drifting far away. A tear silently slid down her cheek, and she subconsciously raised her hand to gently touch it. Then another tear fell, one after another, until it reached the ground.

She bit her lip tightly, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and silently called out in her heart: "Grandpa, where are you? Why haven't I heard from you for so long? Have you already come to the northern desert? Your Xue'er misses you so much right now."

Xiao Mei, Ling Ling, and the others stood quietly to the side, watching their young mistress's slightly trembling body and sensing her deep sorrow. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry, but they didn't know how to comfort her, so they could only stay quietly by her side.

He Qin was afraid that this would be too harmful to her health, so she stepped forward and gently called out, "Miss."

So Su Lianxue gently wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay." Then she looked at He Qin and said, "The night view here is really beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but exclaim: "Yes, this place is truly beautiful."

......

"Young Miss, Second Young Miss, come out quickly! Miss Su has sent someone to deliver fabric to you." A voice could be heard from afar inside the room.

At this moment, the second young lady, Chen Hui, was sitting in her room looking bored, fiddling with a small toy in her hand, thinking about how to get her older sister to go out and play with her.

Upon hearing the message from the nanny beside her mother, Chen Hui's eyes lit up instantly, and a surge of joy welled up in her heart: Miss Su actually sent us fabric, it must be of the finest quality.

She jumped up from her chair and said hurriedly, "Sister, did you hear that? Miss Su brought us some fabric! Let's go... let's go take a look."

As she spoke, she took her sister Chen Yi's hand and eagerly walked out. Chen Hui looked on with curiosity, wondering what kind of fabric Miss Su had given them. She figured it couldn't be too bad, like the pastries they had last time.

Chen Yi was quietly embroidering when she heard the nanny's message. She stopped what she was doing and her face lit up with joy.

After all, receiving a gift from Miss Su would certainly be a very happy thing. She put down her embroidery, gently straightened her clothes, and thought to herself: Miss Su is so kind. She always thinks of the two sisters when she gets something good.

As soon as the two sisters entered the front hall, they saw their mother smiling and talking to Granny Feng, who was standing next to Miss Su.

They quickly stopped, bowed slightly, and stepped forward to greet her. Chen Yi said softly, "Greetings, Granny Feng." Chen Hui also obediently followed suit, "Greetings, Granny." At this moment, Chen Yi was a little curious, wondering why Miss Su would give them fabric. Chen Hui, on the other hand, stared at Granny Feng with great anticipation, eager to see the fabric.

Granny Feng hurriedly bowed to the two young ladies and said, "Greetings, Miss Chen, Miss Chen. Our young lady asked me to bring you some fabric so you can make clothes."

Chen Yi quickly said, "Granny, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down." As she spoke, she gestured for her to sit down.

Granny Feng hurriedly said, "I've delivered the fabric. I won't stay any longer. I still need to go to the prefect's residence to deliver fabric to Miss Wan'er."

Seeing that Granny Feng still had things to do, Chen Yi and Chen Hui didn't keep her any longer. Chen Yi smiled and said, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Granny. Please help us thank Miss Su."

After seeing Granny Feng off, Chen Hui's gaze was fixed on the fabric in front of her, her eyes unblinking, her face showing an extremely incredulous expression, and she kept exclaiming "Wow... Wow..."

"This fabric, the feel of it is just too good." Then, she unconsciously hugged the fabric tightly to her chest, as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

She looked at her mother eagerly and said, "Mother, you must find the best tailor in the city to make clothes for us. We must not waste such exquisite fabric."

Chen Yi also turned her gaze to the fabric in front of her, her face full of joy. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's for sure. This fabric shouldn't be available in Mofang City. Judging from the quality, it must be from the capital."

Hearing their words, Madam Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. They had spent countless years in this desert city, and perhaps they would never have the chance to go to the capital in their lifetime.

The capital city—what a distant yet alluring place it was! She had often heard of its prosperity and bustle, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Not to mention their master, even General Chu Mohan has never returned to the capital since arriving here. He is the emperor's son, bearing heavy responsibilities, and cannot leave his post without permission; otherwise, it would be a capital offense.

Thinking of this, Madam Chen felt both longing for the capital and helplessness in the face of reality.

But then I thought, with a general guarding this place, I felt more at ease. Now that my master is getting older, at least for now I don't have to worry about foreign enemies invading, and I can live peacefully with him.

Although it lacks the hustle and bustle of the capital, being able to stay by the master's side and have the whole family safe and sound is a kind of happiness in itself.

Thinking about it this way, there was nothing to regret. Looking at his two daughters beside him, if they were to receive such care from Miss Su, what could he possibly be dissatisfied with? Besides, the master was a good man, without any of those frivolous women or messy affairs: "So he said, good, good... When the time comes, I will invite the best tailor to make you two beautiful clothes."

Chen Yi said, "Mother, shouldn't we prepare some thank-you gifts? Otherwise, it's not good to keep doing this."

Looking at her two daughters, Madam Chen was filled with emotion. Although they were far from the bustling capital in Mofang City, they lived a peaceful life thanks to Miss Su's care and their husband's love. Thinking of this, Madam Chen felt she had nothing to regret.

Looking at the exquisite fabric before her, Madam Chen smiled and said, "Once we find a good tailor, we'll make you two sisters some beautiful dresses."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi said, "Mother, shouldn't we prepare some gifts to reciprocate Miss Su's kindness?"

Madam Chen nodded slightly, but was pondering what gift would be appropriate in return. At this moment, Chen Hui's eyes lit up, and she said, "Mother, what we give is certainly not as good as Miss Su's. Why don't we invite Miss Su to our home as a guest, let her sit and play, and have a meal together? That way, we can also express our feelings."

Mrs. Chen thought it was a good idea and nodded with a smile, saying, "Yes, that's a good idea. Then we'll make careful preparations and invite Miss Su to our home."
