Su Lianxue was so busy, I just came over for a quick look. You continue with your class, don't worry about me. So Dong Xianzhi replied softly, "The school was set up quickly, it's nothing. Why don't you go in and get to know them, Miss Su? They've always been very grateful to you."

"No need, you can continue." Actually, she didn't need any thanks; she was just willing to do what she could within her capabilities, which was actually a good thing for Mofang City.

When there are fewer and fewer bad people, public security will improve.

Since the school has only recently been established, Dong Xianzhi thought it best to take over the teaching duties himself first, and then deal with it if he gets too busy later.

Su Lianxue also agreed with this statement.

After bidding farewell to Strategist Dong, Su Lianxue went to the martial arts training ground, where she saw a group of children practicing horse stance.

Their small figures stood there steadily, legs slightly apart, knees bent, toes pointing forward. Each child was focused, trying hard to maintain their balance.

Some of the little ones bit their lips tightly, with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, yet they stubbornly persisted, refusing to relax even slightly.

Some children, though their bodies trembled slightly, still tried their best to straighten their backs and place their fists at their sides.

Their little faces turned bright red, but they showed no sign of backing down. Their earnest expressions were both heartbreaking and admirable.

Sunlight shone on them, outlining their resolute silhouettes. They were like a group of young warriors, sweating and striving on this training ground for their growth and progress.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, but it couldn't dampen the children's enthusiasm and focus. They were immersed in their horse stance training, experiencing the tempering of their bodies and wills.

These children are currently being taught by people under Deputy General Zhang Fu. When he has free time, Deputy General Zhang Fu will also come personally to teach them. At this moment, Su Lianxue and Zhou Qi arrived at the training ground.

"Greetings, Miss Su. My name is Wan You, and I am a subordinate of General Zhang Fu. I am currently responsible for teaching these children." Wan You bowed respectfully to Su Lianxue and said.

"Hello, Instructor Wan. You go ahead with your work; I'm just taking a stroll." Su Lianxue replied with a smile.

When Wanyou saw Zhou Qi beside Miss Su, his eyes lit up and he said, "General Zhou is here too. I wonder if he could teach these children a lesson? These children would definitely benefit greatly if they could receive guidance from General Zhou."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi immediately waved his hand and said, "These children are only doing some basic exercises right now, there's really nothing for them to learn. I'm just here to accompany Miss Su and protect her safety."

Seeing General Zhou's attitude, Wan You didn't say anything more, but felt a little regretful. He had often heard about General Zhou before. Although she was a woman, she was in no way inferior to men, so she rose all the way to the position of general. Now she was highly valued by the general and assigned to Miss's side. Her future was limitless.

......

On the way back to the General's Mansion, Su Lianxue was sitting in the carriage, thinking about the group of children she had just seen, and couldn't help but smile.

On the way back, they passed a pastry shop. This shop was famous for its pastries, so Su Lianxue instructed Xiao Tao, who was beside her, to get out of the car and buy some pastries.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao immediately jumped off the carriage and ran into the pastry shop, carefully selecting pastries of various flavors.

When they returned to the General's Mansion, Su Lianxue instructed Xiaomei to distribute some of the snacks to everyone in the area so that everyone could have a taste.

When Lin Yuexi and Lin Zhi heard that the snacks were being delivered, they were filled with anticipation and curiosity. The moment they received the snacks, the familiar yet unfamiliar aroma wafted over them, instantly stirring up a deep mix of emotions within them.

They seemed to see the joyful scenes of enjoying delicious snacks with relatives and friends in the bustling streets of the capital, but now, in the general's mansion in Mofang City, life had become so monotonous and boring.

It must be said that ever since Miss Su entered the General's Mansion, her thoughtfulness and consideration have been evident everywhere.

She not only considers everyone's clothing, choosing suitable fabrics and styles, but also carefully prepares supplies so that everyone can feel cared for and warm.

And now, she even thinks about their food all the time.

Back in the capital, the delicious pastries were so plentiful that there was never enough to eat them all, and every bite was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

However, since arriving in this desolate desert city, the living conditions here have been harsh and resources are scarce. The desire to taste such delicious snacks again has become a luxury.

Lin Zhi held the pastries in her hands, her expression growing increasingly complicated, her eyes revealing a mixture of longing and confusion. She turned to look at Lin Yuexi beside her and cautiously asked, "Sister Lin, do you think Miss Su will promote us to concubines after she marries the General?"

Upon hearing Lin Zhi's words, Lin Yuexi took a small bite of the pastry that was handed to her. The sweet aroma of the pastry spread in her mouth, momentarily stunning her.

Lately, she has often had a strange feeling that she seems to have aged and is no longer as youthful, radiant, and energetic as before.

In this vast general's mansion, there are no lively banquets to attend, and going out is not as bustling as the capital, where one can go to many places and meet some high-ranking officials and nobles.

Although there were no constraints here, she faced the awkward situation of having no money to spend, so she became too lazy to go out and find fun. She spent her days guarding this small world, pacing back and forth in this limited space, and had long been extremely tired of this kind of life.

If she could be promoted to the rank of concubine, at least it would be a glimmer of hope in this monotonous life, bringing her some new hope and motivation.

However, she also knew that women are always jealous. In any household, everyone schemes and fights for their own interests and status. Who would willingly push their man away and let someone else share everything they have worked so hard to obtain?

She remained silent for a long time, as if she were going through a fierce struggle and weighing of her options deep inside, before slowly saying, "Sister Ye, these pastries are really delicious. It's been so long since I've tasted anything so tasty. It seems Miss Su really put her heart into this."

Who wouldn't want to be promoted to concubine? Everything depends on how the general and the young lady will treat them after they get married and Miss Su becomes the lady.
