No one can accurately estimate how long a war will last.
Jin Yue didn't know. Song Huan went to find Butler Pei, but Butler Pei didn't know how long the fight would last.
Just tell her that it could be as short as a few days or as long as several years.
"But madam, there's no need to worry too much. Last March, the Hu people were severely defeated by our master, suffering heavy casualties. Normally, they should need at least two or three years to recover. Yet, less than a year has passed, and they're already rushing to attack the city... In my opinion, our master will be able to drive them back in six months at most!"
As Butler Pei spoke, he couldn't help but become excited and his tone was very passionate.
Song Huan agreed with a few words with a smile on her face, but she was crying in her heart.
Half a year... In half a year, I'm afraid that only bones will be left of her body!
. ……
Song Huan stayed in the mansion for three whole days.
On the first day, she found Butler Pei and asked if she could go to the military camp to find Pei Yan.
Butler Pei only gave her an ambiguous smile, and then told her firmly, "No."
Military camp.
Not to mention Song Huan, even if Butler Pei went to the military camp, if he did not have the Pei family army's personal token on him, he would be caught as a spy and beheaded at once.
After hearing this, Song Huan immediately looked at Butler Pei with a smile in his eyes, "Then can you lend me your token...?"
"Madam, I'm sorry I can't obey your order!"
Upon hearing this, Butler Pei's expression suddenly turned serious, as if he would bang his head against the wall if Song Huan insisted on borrowing his token. "This token is more important than my life. Even if I lose my life, I will not let this token leave my body!"
Song Huan immediately waved his hands: "...I'm just asking. You, you don't have to worry."
As a weak woman, she cannot afford such serious consequences.
Late at night, Song Huan thought all night in his room, feeling deeply sad about his unfortunate fate.
The next morning, she opened the system and signed in as usual.
Without Pei Yan, she could only earn a pitiful quarter of an hour of life every day.
"Alas!" Song Huan sighed deeply. She wanted to cry.
However, at this moment, the system suddenly sent a message: "The target "Pei Yan"'s favorability towards you has changed." "Favourability +35."
"surprise!"
Song Huan couldn't help but happily knock on the system: "System Master, I love you! Pen refill!"
The system replied with a standard answer: "Dear, thank you for your likes."
Song Huan: “…” The broken system has no soul.
The increase in favorability made Song Huan happy for a while, but after the joy wore off, the depressing energy quickly invaded her brain again.
What's the point of having my favorability increase happily? I can't even complete any health points missions...
Song Huan went to see Butler Pei again.
Butler Pei was frightened by Song Huan yesterday, so he wanted to hide when he saw Song Huan this time.
Song Huan hurriedly said, "Don't hide from me. I'm not here to borrow your token."
Butler Pei then coughed lightly and said, "Madam, that's not true. I just happened to be busy and have absolutely no intention of hiding from you."
Song Huan: "..." She pretended to believe it.
Butler Pei stroked his beard and asked, "May I ask what the Madam wants me to do?"
Song Huan: "I'm just asking you, will the Marquis stay in the barracks until this battle is over? Will he have time to return home?"
"This..." Butler Pei looked at Song Huan with an embarrassed expression, "I'm afraid it's not possible."
After a pause, he asked again, "Madam, do you have something important to tell the Marquis?"
"No."
Since he couldn't, Song Huan was calm... what the hell.
Day 3.
Every half a minute, Song Huan couldn't help but open the system to check his health value.
The sight of the health bar changing from green to yellow made her extremely nervous.
No, no.
This is not a solution. Even if she makes a hole in the box above the life value, the life value will not increase at all, but will only decrease little by little.
Song Huan turned off the system and rolled his eyes.
After a while, her eyes fixed and she came up with an idea.
That afternoon, when Song Huan came to see Butler Pei, Butler Pei was about to go out.
"Where are you going?"
"Madam, I have received orders from my master to go to the city's medical clinic."
Song Huan asked, "What are you doing at the clinic?"
Butler Pei said, "There are many wounded soldiers in the army, but few doctors. The master ordered his men to find a few apprentices from the city's Chinese medicine clinic to help Chen Ji and the others."
Hearing this, Song Huan's eyes lit up. She had come to find Butler Pei to test him, asking if the barracks needed a little helper who could bandage and first aid. Unexpectedly, Butler Pei was about to go to the infirmary to look for someone...
"Butler Pei, can I go with you?"
"This..." Steward Pei hesitated for a moment, then said sternly, "Madam, after I go to the clinic to find someone, I'm afraid I'll have to rush back to the army immediately. Besides, there are refugees running around in the city right now, and there are even Hu people disguised as foreigners sneaking into Ning County, robbing and killing civilians. It's really unsafe. For your safety, it's best for you to stay in the mansion."
"Butler Pei, I don't want to go to the city for fun, but... I want to go to the army with you."
Song Huan looked very serious. It was true that she wanted to save her own life, but that didn't mean she would despise the lives of others.
Although she was once... just a half-hearted veterinary student.
"When you go to the clinic to find apprentices, they're mostly there to help clean wounds and bandage them when the doctors are too busy. I might be more skilled at these things than the apprentices you're looking for."
Butler Pei couldn't help but be stunned. In fact, the atmosphere in their army was quite open-minded. Even now... there were two female doctors in the army.
For the master, no matter whether the person is a man or a woman, as long as he or she is loyal and capable, he or she can stay in the army.
But Madam...
"Even if what you said is true, I would never dare to take you to the army..." Butler Pei said with a bitter face: "Madam, if the master were in the mansion, he would never agree to it."
"Please don't embarrass me."
“…”
Song Huan watched Butler Pei leave, feeling a little frustrated.
The things she knows are too replaceable, and it seems... there is really no persuasiveness.
"Ah! System! Why am I so ordinary!"
System: "Dear, you are too modest."
"You're actually quite good."
Song Huan: "Really? Then tell me what makes you outstanding?"
system:"……"
Song Huan snorted coldly: "Ha. You are speechless now."
System: "Dear, you are excellent in every way."
Song Huan: "Stop it, stop blowing your trumpet. That's not like you."
System: "Dear, please tell me directly, what is your purpose?"
Song Huan: "I want the golden finger."
"Extraordinarily thick golden fingers."
"For example, incredible medical skills? Or incredible martial arts? Or... maybe you could develop my brain and give me a super-high IQ. But if you want to just give me thirty to fifty years of life, I don't mind not taking any of that."
System: "Dear..."
Song Huan: "You say."
System: "It's daytime now."
Song Huan: “…”
System: "Dear, this system understands your current situation."
"Based on your situation, this system recommends you choose the first option, which is to gain three years of health. Next, complete the marriage consummation mission with the capture target, Pei Yan. At that time, you will still gain one year of health for this mission."
"Furthermore, after you complete the 'Marriage Consummation Mission', you will have a chance to trigger a random mission."
"Friendly reminder: Some random tasks can provide a considerable amount of health."
Song Huan: "How rich is it?"
System: "Sorry, this system cannot reveal the specific values. However, I can tell you one thing: the life value you can obtain from random quests is calculated in years at least."
Song Huan: "...My pupils are shaking!"
Why didn't she tell her about this pit system earlier!
If she had known earlier, on the night she first arrived in Ning County, she would have risked half her life to complete the mission!
Woo! Regret! Cry!
System: "Dear, do you want to choose the first compensation plan and gain three years of life value?"
Song Huan: "No, I don't want it! I choose the second one!"
System: "Okay, dear."
"However, this system must remind you that you only have fifty-nine days and six hours of life left."
"Also, if you choose the second option, please complete the 'marriage consummation task' before midnight twenty-four days from now. Otherwise, this system will deem you to have waived this compensation plan."
"Hmm..." Song Huan said suddenly and timidly, "Let's follow the method I mentioned at the beginning. If I don't complete the strategy task after 24 days, I will knock you down before midnight and ask you to choose the first option."
System: "...Okay, dear."
. ……
After that day, Song Huan racked his brains every day to think of how to find Pei Yan in the army, and whenever he had time, he would go to Pei's housekeeper to ask about the battle situation and when Pei Yan would be able to return to the mansion.
After half a month, everyone in the mansion knew that their lady was madly in love with their Marquis.
After Song Huan learned from Jinle, the little mouthpiece, what everyone in the mansion thought of her, she felt terrible.
What a crazy fool! She was just forced by life, okay?
"Madam, Jinle is ignorant. Don't listen to her nonsense." Jinyue saw that Song Huan looked unhappy and tried to comfort her, "Everyone in the mansion knows that you are worried about the Marquis's safety. They are all happy for him and say that it is a blessing for him to marry you."
Song Huan sighed: "Your Lord doesn't think so."
Jin Yue: "How could that be? Madam, the Marquis must have thought so too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically recalled Guard Pei Shen to protect your safety in the mansion."
Song Huan: “…”Yes.
Pei Yan even specially arranged for someone to watch over her and follow her wherever she went, even blocking her thoughts of sneaking out to find Pei Yan... He's simply a devil!
