Shen Song realized the worry in Qu Jingyun's words and quickly nodded: "Son understands."

Qu Jingyun's worries had not lessened, but she said, "If you have anything to tell me, just give the letter to Chef Wang in the kitchen."

“We two can’t stay together for too long. After all, I’m just a new soldier at the border. If we become too familiar with each other, it might arouse suspicion.”

She reached out and gently patted Chensong's shoulder.

He then added, "Be careful in everything you do."

After exchanging a glance, Qu Jingyun turned and left.

Only Chen Song remained in place, her brain racing at this moment.

Who among the military commanders in this camp is currently facing problems?

After exchanging pleasantries with the soldiers for a while, Shen Yunting saw them off, leaving only his family in the room.

Witnessing Shen Yue's hurried question, "Father, what is the surprise you promised me?"

Shen Yunting smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, saying, "You'll definitely love this surprise."

Shen Yue felt increasingly confused, her face full of bewilderment.

Just then, a soldier walked into the tent without knocking.

A hint of displeasure flashed across her face, and she quickly questioned, "Who are you? How dare you barge in without announcing yourself?"

The other person kept their head down and didn't say anything more.

This sudden action startled Shen Yue. She looked at Shen Yunting with some confusion, only to see his smiling eyes.

What's going on?

"Take a good look at who she is," Shen Yunting said with a chuckle, pointing to the soldier who had just barged in.

This made Shen Yue even more puzzled, and she looked at the person in front of her.

Only when the other person looked up did a surprised smile appear on her face.

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

"Surprised?" Qu Jingyun opened her arms and gave Shen Yue a big hug.

He then added, "Of course I came because I missed you all."

Although Shen Yue knew things weren't that simple, she was still very happy to hear what Qu Jingyun said.

He had just spoken when he said, "I was wondering when I could go back to the capital to see you, but I didn't expect you to come. But why are you dressed like this?"

"Given my status, I couldn't openly follow your father here, so I came secretly."

Qu Jingyun didn't say much, but changed the subject, saying, "I just went to see your older brother. Have you seen him since you arrived?"

Shen Yue nodded: "Of course we've met him, but he concealed his identity in the army, so we shouldn't stay too long for fear of being misunderstood by outsiders."

Upon hearing this, Qu Jingyun nodded knowingly.

He then sighed and said, "Your older brother is really a bit paranoid these days."

Shen Yue nodded in agreement, then said, "But that's understandable. I believe that my brother will be able to handle his own feelings."

Qu Jingyun responded and then looked at Chen Yue in front of her.

He nodded in satisfaction: "You are indeed my daughter. I have heard about what has happened to you recently. You have done a great job. I am proud of you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue's smile widened, and she quickly said, "I have to thank my sister-in-law for her help."

She pulled Yin Xue aside and eagerly said to Qu Jingyun, "Sister-in-law is incredibly capable. She also has a talent for business. Not long after we arrived in Jiangnan, she helped the shops there make a fortune."

"Otherwise, it would be very difficult to gather all these provisions."

Upon hearing this, Qu Jingyun looked up at Yin Xue beside her.

Seeing that the other party smiled in response, he praised, "I heard from the shopkeeper in Jiangnan that you did a great job. I will give you the deed to the shop in a few days."

Yin Xue was immediately flattered and was about to refuse.

Qu Jingyun didn't give her that chance at all, and said to herself, "We're all family, there's no need to be so formal. I trust you with these things."

"Besides, wouldn't it be great if you could earn more money with your abilities? I'll be counting on you to support me from now on."

Since Qu Jingyun had put it that way, Yin Xue couldn't refuse any longer.

I nodded sheepishly and agreed.

She seemed to be thinking of something, and a deep sense of conflict appeared on her face.

Finally, he let out a long sigh and looked up at Qu Jingyun.

She continued, "My husband's life in the military camp doesn't seem to be very good. He's really exhausted. Mother, could you please persuade him not to work so hard?"

A hint of reluctance was visible on her face.

It had only been a few months since I last saw Chensong, but he looked much older.

Where was the dashing young man of yesteryear?

Not to mention, she also inadvertently noticed the scars on Shen Song's body.

Even though she hadn't forgiven him, she felt a pang of heartache.

Unexpectedly, Qu Jingyun looked completely unconvinced after hearing this.

"What's wrong with that? This is what a military officer deserves. Since he has decided to join the army, he should be no different from other soldiers. When his father was his age, he had already established a country and helped the emperor ascend the throne."

Qu Jingyun took Yin Xue's hand and gently patted it to comfort her.

He then added, "Don't worry too much, you should trust him."

But when these words reached Yin Xue's ears, she panicked and stammered.

He retorted, "I... I wasn't worried about him."

Qu Jingyun couldn't help but chuckle, then looked up and sized up Yin Xue.

He paused for a moment and then continued, "I know that Song'er hurt you in the past, and I don't force you two to reconcile, but deep down I definitely hope that you can be like before."

"He now knows he was wrong, can you give him a chance to start over?"

Yin Xue didn't say anything, and Qu Jingyun saw this and blushed.

Qu Jingyun knew that saying this would put Yin Xue in a difficult position, but no matter what, she was Chen Song's mother and couldn't bear to see her continue to be so depressed.

Just when Qu Jingyun thought Yin Xue wouldn't agree, the other party finally spoke.

Yin Xue nodded and said, "I will try to accept my husband slowly."

In the months away from Chensong, she didn't think she would have an easy time.

But Shen Song's face kept replaying in my mind.

Yin Xue had to admit that the other person held a very important place in her heart.

Especially now that Shen Song is involved in the war, he may face a life-or-death crisis if he is not careful.

Under such circumstances, how could she possibly harbor all her resentment towards the other person?

With this thought in mind, Yin Xue's expression softened.

She then glanced at everyone present and said, "You have all gone to too much trouble regarding my husband and me. Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Qu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "I didn't mean to make things difficult for you today. It's because I can see that you still have feelings for Song'er. If there are really no feelings left between you, I will support you no matter what you want to do. You don't need to make things too difficult for yourself."

"I understand," Yin Xue nodded in agreement.
