Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Return home at night

Liu Yanyan sat on the low couch, put the IOU written by the old lady close to her body, breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to calm herself down.

I paced around the house anxiously for a long time, then went to the window and looked at the wintersweet in the blue and white porcelain vase. The refreshing fragrance made me feel that some of the worries in my heart were relieved. Since Yuzhu and Yuzhen were not around, I could only walk around the house alone.

After looking at the snow scene several times, he finally calmed down, sat upright on the pear blossom chair, and ate cakes in small bites, feeling extremely comfortable.

Liu Yanyan was eating hard when she looked up and saw Yuzhu and Yuzhen coming back with a peach wood box.

Yuzhu handed over the mahogany box respectfully and said, "Madam, the Liu family pawnshop was very hard on the price. After a long argument, we pawned all the dowry and only got back 10,000 taels of silver."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, but retracted her smile the next second. She took the box, opened it, and saw the banknotes inside. She said calmly, "Go to the door and invite Aunt Zhao in. It's so late, I don't want to disturb my mother-in-law. She may have fallen asleep." Of course she had to lower the price. If she brought back extra silver, the old lady would find a way to take it away. She never paid it back once she said she had borrowed it.

Yuzhu stood respectfully by and massaged Liu Yanyan's shoulders, while Yuzhen hurried to ask for Aunt Zhao.

Madam Zhao entered the room and bowed respectfully, "Old servant, please come in. Hello, Madam."

Liu Yanyan nodded, pushed the mahogany box on the table, and said, "Here are the banknotes. You can give them to mother-in-law. She trusts you the most. The sooner you buy the herbs, the sooner you can save Beichen. This is all I can give you. Don't let mother-in-law despise me."

Nanny Zhao picked up the wooden box, held it in her arms and said, "Madam, I am sorry to trouble you. Thank you for your trust. I will deliver it to you right away." After that, she carefully held the wooden box, used her cloak to block the way, and left Guiran Residence.

After Nanny Zhao left, Yuzhu spoke, "Madam, aren't you afraid that the old lady will not recognize the silver if you just give it to her? You can't get the silver back at all! What do you want?" Didn't the madam dislike the general? Why did she want to save him?

Liu Yanyan covered her lips and coughed dryly, thinking about the secret guard on the roof, and whispered, "This is my husband. I sold my dowry to buy medicinal herbs for him. It's my duty, I can't just watch him die." He came back from the battlefield injured, I don't care, I'll break his spine, now that I've sold my dowry to save him, in the future, there won't be so many people on his side.

The old lady's yard

Nanny Zhao, covered in snow, returned to the house in a panic.

The old lady took the wooden box, opened it and saw the silver note. She brushed it lightly with her hand, her heart full of reluctance. Thinking about her future imperial edict, she turned around and took out the silver note of 2 taels that she had prepared long ago, gave it to Zhao Ma, and said, "Let a few servants go with you to get the medicine and bring back the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Come back immediately to avoid any mishap."

Regardless of the snow on her body, Aunt Zhao said respectfully, "Yes, old lady, we will definitely bring back the Tianshan Snow Lotus."

The old lady watched them leave and waited quietly until late at night. Then Nanny Zhao appeared again, covered in snow, bringing back the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

The old lady hurried forward, took the wooden box, opened it, and looked at the fairy-like Tianshan Snow Lotus. She was very excited, "Great! Great! My son is saved, my son is saved, that's great, I said Beichen is blessed." Holding the wooden box, she let Madam Zhao support her and walked towards Gu Beichen's yard, not caring about the snowflakes on her body.

The old lady pushed open Gu Beichen's room, a wave of heat hit her, and she wrinkled her nose subconsciously. Seeing Lin Ruo leaning against him softly and whispering softly, she couldn't help but coughing lightly.

When Lin Rou heard the voice, she stood up suddenly, her face flushed, and she looked uneasy.

As if she hadn't seen her, the old lady excitedly walked around the screen partition, walked up to Gu Beichen, and said, "Beichen, look, look, what is this, open it and take a look, open it quickly and take a look."

Gu Beichen looked at his mother's expression and muttered to himself, "Mom, this can't be the Tianshan Snow Lotus, I'm saved, I'm saved."

Lin Rou also stood aside and looked at the wooden box nervously. If cousin Beichen was okay, it would be nice to marry him.

Gu Beichen opened the wooden box and saw the fairy-like Tianshan Snow Lotus. He was so excited that he picked a leaf and waved to call the servant. The old lady hurriedly said, "Take it. Boil the medicine now and bring it over as soon as it's done."

The servant took it respectfully, and carried it carefully to boil the medicine. Nanny Zhao also walked over and watched, fearing that there would be any mistake.

The old lady, Gu Beichen, and Lin Rou were waiting nervously, not daring to breathe. Time passed bit by bit, and when the medicine was brought, Gu Beichen's face was covered with beads of sweat from nervousness.

Gu Beichen took the bowl of medicine eagerly before the medicine had even cooled down, and drank the scalding hot medicine in one gulp, sticking out his tongue due to the heat. After finishing the medicine, he nervously closed his eyes and tried to move his hands, but failed after many attempts, so he gave up in despair.

Gu Beichen shook his head with a dejected look on his face. The old lady patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You still need to take the medicine for a few more days. Maybe the effect of the medicine hasn't come out yet. Don't be afraid. Mom is here."

Lin Rou also comforted him, "That's right, mother-in-law is right, the medicine won't work so quickly, cousin, don't worry, Rou'er is always with you, you will be fine."

Gu Beichen took Lin Rou's hand and nodded to show that he was fine, but the worry on his face did not ease at all.

After the old lady was nervous, she became exhausted and drowsy. She said in a daze, "Son, keep the Tianshan Snow Lotus. There is no extra money in the family to buy medicine. For this medicine, your wife sold her dowry and I also spent all my savings."

Gu Beichen lowered his head and looked at the Tianshan Snow Lotus. He held the wooden box tightly in his left hand and looked at the deputy general Fang Li in the distance.

Fang Li held the knife and said seriously, "General, rest assured. I will guard here. Nothing will happen to the Tianshan Snow Lotus." The sister-in-law sold her dowry to buy medicine for the general. She really loved the general.

After hearing this, Gu Beichen nodded and felt relieved. After all, he himself did not have the ability to protect the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

The old lady got Fang Li's assurance before letting Nanny Zhao help her leave.

Lin Rou looked at Gu Beichen, imagining a beautiful future. She blushed and said, "Cousin, I'm resting outside. If you have anything, ask someone to call me. Don't be afraid, Rou'er will accompany you."

Gu Beichen saw the faint light outside and did not make things difficult for Rouer. He waved his hand and asked Lin Rou to leave and rest.

Lying in the warm quilt, he gradually fell asleep. At night, he felt a burning pain on his tongue, thinking that the Tianshan Snow Lotus was taking effect. He endured it and was sweating profusely.

Fang Li was very worried when he saw the general's appearance, but he didn't know any medical skills, so he could only stand quietly by the side to prevent anyone from hurting him or stealing the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
