Chapter 462 Reconciliation
Song Ci knew that the generals were worried that General Li was stupid and would cause trouble, so he had been following the generals these days and remembering what they discussed.
"Ah Ci, General Li is actually a bit stubborn, he may not listen to you."
Tang Shi pursed her lips.
In the past few days, they discussed tactics together, and Song Ci always followed them, even if he was extremely sleepy, he still insisted on listening.
She had wondered before why Song Ci had to work so hard, but now she finally understood.
"General, don't worry, I will definitely assist General Li well, even if General Li doesn't want to listen to me, I will do my best to help him."
Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would help General Li win this battle.
Song Ci's gaze was as firm as a rock, and it seemed that nothing could shake his mind.
Song Ci pursed his lips.
"Take Doctor Su Yu with you. If General Li doesn't listen to you, let her come forward."
Li Zhi was a stubborn person. Once he decided on someone, he would follow that person.
He was a loyal minister, a loyal minister that people could trust, but at the same time, he was also very stubborn.
Except for those who were truly loyal to him, he rarely listened to others.
Song Ci was about the same age as Li Zhi, and he was weak and frail. It was difficult for Li Zhi to listen to Song Ci willingly.
But Su Nanxing was different. Li Zhi really liked Su Nanxing, so he was very obedient to Su Nanxing.
If Su Nanxing was around, Li Zhi would be more obedient.
"General, your body is not well yet, you need Doctor Su Yu to serve you."
"General, don't worry, since I have proposed to assist General Li, I will definitely be sure to take me with me."
"Please trust me for once."
Tang Shi smiled: "Ah Ci, I have always believed in you."
"Even if others say that you are just a useless boy, I still think you are different."
"Your gunpowder has become the key for me to defeat the majority with the minority. I have always been proud of you."
Song Ci's ears were red to his neck.
"It's getting late, I have to get ready to go."
"Take care, General."
"When I come back, I have a gift for you."
The dim candlelight reflected on Song Ci's body, dyeing his black hair into another soft color.
Tang Shi's heart jumped inexplicably.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
"Take care."
Tang Shi was transported back to the capital to recuperate.
When she came back, Gan Fanren and the officials were there early to greet her at the city gate.
The people on both sides of the road cheered and shouted her name.
Gan Fanren personally cleared the way for her and sent her back to the general's mansion.
Gan Fanren's behavior made the people respect him even more.
In the crowd, Tang Shi saw Tang Ruxue at a glance.
Tang Ruxue's eyes were full of worry.
This was the first time Tang Shi saw worry in Tang Ruxue's eyes.
There was only disgust and hatred before.
Since she was a child, she had very few playmates around her. After her father discovered that she had a talent for military generals, all social opportunities were cut off.
Although she had a few friends she could talk to, she had very few close friends.
She grew up alone, almost alone, under her father's strict discipline.
She thought she had no expectations of her family, but she felt a little happy when she saw her sister's worried eyes.
She nodded and smiled at Tang Ruxue, and then entered the general's mansion.
That night, Tang Ruxue brought a very small and inconspicuous ginseng.
She said restlessly, "I bought this with the money I earned from washing dishes. Although it's not big, it's still ginseng and should be able to nourish your body."
"I have to go back to wash the dishes. I don't have time to accompany you any more."
"Take good care of yourself."
She would never even look at such ginseng before. If someone gave it to her, she would just think that person was deliberately humiliating her.
Or she would laugh at the other person for being poor and only able to afford such a bandit, and then throw the ginseng away like garbage in front of that person.
But the solitary life during this period made her realize that making money is actually a very difficult thing.
Even such a small ginseng took all her savings.
What kind of extravagant life did she live in the past?
Tang Ruxue didn't dare to look at Tang Shi's eyes.
She was afraid that Tang Shi would look down on her and look disdainful, so she hurriedly wanted to run away.
"Don't go."
"Come back and live here."
Tang Shi held Tang Ruxue's arm.
"Although you are already 21 years old, you are still afraid to live alone in an empty general's mansion."
"Come back and stay with you."
Tang Ruxue's eyes were wet for no apparent reason.
She turned her head, looked at Tang Shi with her watery eyes, and threw herself into Tang Shi's arms and cried loudly.
"Brother, I'm so scared..."
"I'm afraid you won't want to talk to me anymore because of what happened in the past. I'm also afraid you'll die on the battlefield. I can't sleep every day. When I close my eyes, I can see you dying on the battlefield."
"I'm so afraid you'll be like daddy and never come back."
"I've regretted countless times for not telling you earlier. I know I was wrong. I don't blame you anymore."
Tang Ruxue hugged Tang Shi's neck and couldn't help sobbing.
Tang Shi reached out, patted Tang Ruxue's back, and coaxed her gently.
"It's okay, it's all over."
"Brother has never blamed you."
That night, the two of them slept together for the first time.
Tang Shi sent someone to explain the situation to Yu Wenshu and took back Tang Ruxue's gift.
In fact, Tang Ruxue's gift didn't contain much, just some worthless little things, which were out of tune with the things in the general's mansion.
But the servants didn't dare to be negligent, for fear that if they left something behind, it would make Tang Ruxue, the little ancestor, furious.
Although Tang Ruxue had not returned to the general's mansion for several months, the servants of the general's mansion still remembered Tang Ruxue's arrogant temperament and were very difficult to serve.
Almost all the servants in the mansion had been tormented by her.
So the servants didn't dare to take it lightly, and even took back the wood used to pad the table legs.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Tang Ruxue's food, clothing and daily expenses naturally became luxurious. The rough clothes she had before were not even suitable for use as rags.
But Tang Ruxue still carefully put these things away.
"I bought these with my own efforts. This is the result of my self-reliance. Of course I have to keep them well."
The servants looked at Tang Ruxue in surprise.
This is not out of the character of the young lady at all.
If it were the young lady in the past, she would have been burned long ago.
The servants seemed to be surprised too early.
Tang Ruxue's next move surprised the servants.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Tang Ruxue was no longer as arrogant as before, and would greet the servants around her warmly.
When the servants did something wrong, they would not deliberately humiliate or make things difficult for them.
