"But defending our country may result in death," Yi Han said.

The wind was cold and biting. Censor Xiao walked to the window and stood there with a serious expression.

He looked into the distance, his heart full of worries. "The country is in my heart, but life and death are unpredictable. At this critical moment for the country, how can a life be compared with the safety of the country?"

He spoke to himself in a deep voice, revealing an indescribable firmness.

Xiao Yushi turned around and faced Yi Han beside him, with a complicated light in his eyes. "If you can defeat the enemy and return victoriously, will you feel happy and proud?" He asked, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

"Of course!" Yi Han answered without hesitation, his eyes flashing with a burning light, "If Yunxi can also experience this sense of pride and success, how can I stop her?"

Censor Xiao was slightly startled. He knew very well that he was only acting out of love and concern for his daughter, and had never thought deeply about the deeper meaning.

He sighed softly and said slowly: "We will discuss these later."

Then, he sighed again, as if he wanted to pour out all the worries in his heart: "If Yunxi decides to join the army, she will now be General Suzaku. What she will face is not only the swordplay on the battlefield, but also the power struggles in the court. Although I have been in the court for many years, I have done nothing, but I have also seen some truths. Although the court is now under the jurisdiction of the Empress Dowager, it seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents. If you enter the court, you must remember my words and follow the footsteps of Bei Minghou and your uncle closely. No matter what choice they make, you just need to follow them."

"No matter right or wrong?" Yi Han asked doubtfully.

"They can't be wrong." Xiao Yushi answered affirmatively, "Because they have someone behind them guiding them, understand? If one day you think they are wrong, don't jump to conclusions. You must see things clearly before taking action. Only in this way can you avoid making mistakes and not be caught by others. As an official in the court, every step is like walking on thin ice. You must remember my words."

Yi Han nodded to show his understanding.

Afterwards, the two had lunch at the Censorate's Mansion and headed to their next destination - General Lin's Mansion.

The lively scene in General Lin's Mansion formed a sharp contrast with that in the Censorate's Mansion, as if a grand festival was being celebrated.

The Lin family's major generals were already waiting at the door. As soon as the newlyweds got off the carriage, they came up to greet them warmly and took Yi Han away, leaving only one sentence for Yun Xi: "Go with the old lady."

Yun Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had planned to tell her brothers about her experience in Lingnan, but they arranged it this way. Her brothers said they wanted to hear about how her brother-in-law blew up the gunpowder depot.

She shook her head helplessly, thinking: "These little bandits are really naughty."

The old lady stood at the door with a cane, looking at Yun Xi running over with a smile on her face.

Yun Xi held her arm tightly and said with concern: "Why did you come out in such a cold day? Come back inside."

"They said you were here, so I thought I'd come out and see." The old lady replied with a smile, her eyes full of love and expectation for her granddaughter.

Yun Xi helped the old lady into the mansion, and family members came forward to greet them along the way.

After sitting down, Yun Xi knelt down and saluted everyone according to etiquette.

The eldest daughter-in-law smiled and helped her up, saying, "Hurry up, the ground is cold, don't make me feel bad."

Yun Xi smiled and stood up, sitting next to the old lady. She asked curiously, "Where are grandpa and uncles?"

"Busy in the kitchen. Your grandfather said he would make you a roast suckling pig himself."

The eldest daughter-in-law smiled and said, "They are very nervous, afraid of neglecting you, a female general."

The second daughter-in-law also sighed: "Seeing how nervous the old man and the old woman are, I really hate myself for not being able to give birth to a daughter."

The old lady laughed and scolded, "Why? Are you saying that I am biased?"

"You are just biased!" The second son pouted his lips deliberately, pretending to be jealous. "When Erlang and his friends came back, they didn't get this kind of treatment. They didn't even get to eat chicken butts."

Amidst the laughter and joy, Yun Xi felt the warmth and happiness of home.

She knew that no matter how the outside world changed, this place would always be her strongest support.
