Today is the day the general returns with the army, and the general's mansion should be filled with joy.
With so many battles these past two years, the old lady and the general have had little time to spend together, and she always thought of her grandson.
After all, he's the only son left in the General's Mansion.
After Gu Li's father passed away, his mother also went to live with him, and the entire general's mansion seemed to be empty.
The only proper mistress in the mansion is the old lady.
After all, Gu Li is away from home most of the year, and may not be able to come back even once every few years.
But now the general's mansion is unusually quiet.
All because the general brought back a beautiful woman with him on his return.

Ever since she learned that her grandson was coming back, the old lady has been quite restless.
Her grandson hadn't been back for several years, and she didn't know how long he would stay this time. She hadn't seen him in years and missed him terribly.
When someone brought the news, the old lady learned that her grandson had arrived in the capital. She saw his figure from afar as she stood outside the door.
With the sound of wheels rolling, the carriage behind the man attracted everyone's attention.
The old lady found it strange that her grandson was someone who liked to ride in a horse-drawn carriage.
Su Yan, who was holding the old lady's hand, looked at the carriage and had a bad feeling.
The old lady did indeed receive her grandson, but she also received a woman who looked beautiful and delicate.
At only sixteen or seventeen years old, she wore a simple light blue gauze dress, which only accentuated her delicate and charming appearance.
The old lady came from a wealthy family and had seen many beauties, but none of them could compare to the one in front of her.
The young girl was lifted off the carriage by the man; she had a slender and graceful figure.
Seeing the two's intimate actions, the old lady was taken aback. When she came to her senses, she turned her head to look at Su Yan beside her.
As expected, Yan'er's eyes showed obvious disappointment.
The old lady took Su Yan's hand and brought her to Gu Li. "Li'er, you're finally back. Your cousin and I have been thinking about you a lot these days."
"Grandmother." Upon hearing this, Gu Li turned her gaze to Su Yan.
Touching the blush on her face, he felt a little helpless and called out softly, "Cousin."
He then took Liuyin's hand and introduced her to the old lady, his voice filled with obvious joy.
“Grandmother, this is the woman I rescued on my way back. Her name is Liuyin.”
"Greetings, Grandmother." Liu Yin bowed in greeting, her posture delicate and graceful, the kind of beauty that men always find most endearing.
Sure enough, the old lady could see that her grandson's eyes were practically glued to the girl.
I really didn't want to blink.
The old lady didn't know what to say to him at this point.
After all, my grandson is getting on in years; he's almost twenty-six now.
If he were a man from an ordinary family, he would probably be married and have children by now, but he is still unemployed.
But now, I've brought back a girl.
But over the years, Su Yan had stayed with her in the general's mansion, and the two had developed some feelings for each other.
When she reached a certain age, the old lady did consider arranging a marriage for her.
But Su Yan refused. The old lady asked several times before she finally realized that Su Yan actually liked her grandson.
Years ago, the old lady had asked Gu Li about it, but he didn't agree and then went off to fight.
And Su Yan? She was also willing to drag it out like this. The old lady tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail.
Su Yan is now twenty years old, and compared to all the young girls in the capital, she is already an old maid.
Originally, the old lady wanted to try to matchmake the two of them again after her grandson returned.
After all, Su Yan is now considered an orphan.
Her father and brother both died on the battlefield, and her mother later remarried.
If you marry into the general's family, you don't have to worry about having a bad life in the future.
The old lady also had someone to accompany her grandson when he went out to fight in the war.
But the old lady didn't expect that her grandson would bring back a girl this time.
And she's a very beautiful girl.
