Speaking of the disobedient and willful youngest son who insisted on following General Wei to fight, Shi's mother's attention was indeed diverted:

"That child just wouldn't listen. He insisted on going out to fight, which made me worry every day."

War is no joke, people will really die.

There is no other way. Since Shi Xing has made up his mind, all the Shi family can do is to ask General Wei to take good care of Shi Xing.

Shi Xing is the lord's brother-in-law, so General Wei will naturally take good care of him. However, Shi Xing is still young and is not needed in the battle. At most, he can do some work in logistics, which greatly ensures his safety.

The lord's mood is related to the development of the State of Chu. General Wei naturally did not want Shi Xing's accident to affect the lord's mood, so he arranged him in logistics to save a lot of effort.

"If my brother wants to defend our country, why not let him do it?" Shi Qian was also worried, but she had been with Chu Qi for a long time, so it was inevitable that she would be influenced by Chu Qi's thoughts.

"Once you've suffered, you'll know you were wrong." Shi's mother snorted.

*

Shi's mother's expectations were dashed, and Shi Xing suffered a lot, but his character became even more resilient. Not only did he not back down, but he became more determined to become a military general.

When he was at home, he didn't like reading, but loved wielding swords and guns. He was in good physical condition. When he experienced a flood, he relied on his great strength to save his mother who was almost washed away by the flood.

Thanks to Chu Qi's relationship, he slowly moved from logistics to General Wei's side. Gradually, he revealed his talent in fighting and was appreciated by General Wei.

Let’s not talk about Shi Xing’s matter for now.

The next day, Shi Qianru went out with Chu Qi as promised to check on the growth of crops. In order to make it easier to go to the fields, she put on smart clothes instead of wearing a skirt as usual.

Shi's mother gave Shi Qian a thick hat with a veil that could cover her face. Shi Qian was a little hesitant:

"You don't need to wear a hat?"

Shi's mother disagreed: "It's not appropriate for an unmarried girl to go out. If you don't wear a hat, people will see your face. How can you be decent?"

She came here so often, and except for the days when the disaster was not under control, she never went out at other times. Naturally, she still followed the previous rules.

However, Shi Qian had been with Chu Qi outside for a long time, but she had seldom gone out recently, so she had long been accustomed to not wearing a hat.

The mother and daughter were in a stalemate for a while. Chu Qi came over and saw the stalemate. After asking what was going on, she smiled and said:

"Aunt, Chu is different from Yan. Women can go out just like men."

After more than a month of turmoil, the State of Chu has returned to the right track. It is impossible for the people to live in the same way as before.

Chuqi will gradually open up women's rights until men and women are equal.

This is not a whim.

Perhaps, this is an explanation to my own female soul.

As a woman, she is more empathetic to the same sex, and women can go out without covering their faces, and this is just her initial approach.

Mother Shi was stunned for a moment, then after she came to her senses, she hurriedly said:

"Greetings, my Lord."

"Aunt, there's no need to be so polite. You are Wanwan's mother, and you are my elder. Just call me Yunchang." Chu Qi helped her up.

Shi's mother thought that she and her daughter did call him Yun Chang in private, but they still had to show respect in public, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

Hearing Chu Qi say this, Shi's mother couldn't hold back her suppressed questioning, and took the initiative to speak softly:

"My Lord, when can you and Wanwan get married?"

If she didn't ask, her daughter would become an old maid. Even if it meant risking her reputation, Shi's mother had to speak up.

She finally realized that she couldn't expect her daughter to ask.

Since the Lord behaved so gently, Shi Mu felt that if she was afraid again, she would miss the opportunity.
