Despite his repeated assurances, He Yunning was still unable to feel at ease, and with red eyes, she sobbed softly:
"You make it sound nice, but once you get to the battlefield, many unexpected things will happen. At that time, you can only advance, not retreat. Your life will be in God's hands, and you won't be able to control it at all."
“I’ve been practicing martial arts for the past few years, and my skills have improved a lot. I’ve also learned to read military books. Besides, Fourth Master has arranged for people to take care of me. I’ll be fine. You should believe me!” Su Jiafeng said kindly, and then winked at her brother, signaling him to persuade her.
Both Su Mingfeng and Hongli advised her to think positively, leaving Su Yushan caught in the middle, unsure of whom to advise.
Seeing that Su Jiafeng was determined to leave, it would seem unreasonable for He Yuning to stop her further. Left with no other choice, He Yuning had to back down.
"Since you're determined to leave, let me make this clear from the start: if you fail to keep your promise and fail to protect yourself, I... I'll remarry with the child!"
So, does this mean she's compromised? Su Jiafeng felt both relieved and nervous. "How could I let such a good daughter-in-law go to someone else? Don't worry! I will definitely come back and won't let you have the chance to remarry."
With things having come to this point, He Yuning had no other choice but to grant his wish and agree to let him go to Dzungar.
He Yuning had no objections, so Su Yushan, as the older sister, didn't say anything more, only hoping that God would bless Jiafeng and ensure her safe return.
Ten days later, Su Jiafeng went to war with the army. He Yuning did not go to see him off that day. She hid at home and secretly wiped away her tears. The journey was long and arduous, and she could not accompany him. She could only hope that the amulet she had obtained from the temple would protect him.
Since her brother left, Su Yushan has been constantly on edge, with a sense of foreboding and a fear that something bad might happen.
Hongli comforted her, telling her not to worry, "Good people are always protected by heaven. Jiafeng is just going out to gain experience. He'll be fine, don't worry!"
Nodding, Su Yushan forced a smile in response, knowing full well that worrying all the time wasn't a solution. Life had to go on, and she had to think positively. After all, no one's life is smooth sailing; there are always ups and downs, full of unknowns, and that's the meaning of life.
One evening in late July, as the sun began to set and the sky was ablaze with sunset colors, Su Yushan prepared a meal and waited for Hongli to arrive.
Hongli had just finished his work and was leaving the study, preparing to go to Huatang Pavilion, when Qiucha rushed over to report something.
"It's terrible, Fourth Master! The concubine has fainted!"
Why did Lan Rong suddenly faint? When Hongli asked about the cause, Qiu Cha only said that she didn't know very well, "It seems to be a relapse of an old illness."
"Has the doctor arrived?"
Hongli thought the doctor was already on his way, but Qiucha said, "My lady's illness is special, and I dare not let outsiders know. Besides, her injury is in her heart, so I dare not ask an ordinary doctor. I can only ask Fourth Master to make the decision."
