Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, summer has passed and autumn is about to end. Everywhere has become quiet and depressed.

At this time, in the Ulanala Mansion, Mrs. Ulanala sat on the exquisite kang, wearing a gorgeous cheongsam embroidered with gold threads and pearls, showing her noble status. Her brows were furrowed, with a hint of worry on her face, and her eyes revealed her deep longing and worry for Fuchang who was far away.

She paced back and forth, sometimes looking at the setting sun outside the window, and sometimes looking up into the distance, as if looking for her son's return. Her hands were clasped together, as if she was praying for her son's safe return.

Fuchang's wife stood by and looked at her silently, her heart also full of worry. She knew how much Ulanala's wife missed Fuchang.

After a long while, Mrs. Ulanara spoke up, "Second brother, how long has Fuchang been gone?"

Shushujueluo was no longer surprised by Mrs. Ulanara's question, and replied, "Mother, Fuchang left in late spring, and it has been half a year now."

"When we left, we were told that we would be back in half a year. Now the time has come, but we haven't even seen a trace of him!" said Lady Ulanara sadly.

"Don't worry, mother. When he left, Ama gave Fuchang a lot of people. He will be fine. He must have been delayed by something. Don't worry, mother. Fuchang will be back before the New Year." Shushujueluo comforted.

"I hope so!"

A dull and depressing atmosphere permeated the Ulanala Mansion. The family members were all concerned about Fuchang's safety, and everyone's face was filled with worry and anxiety.

As time went by, Mrs. Ulanara's anxiety became more and more serious. She began to suffer from insomnia, loss of appetite, and became more haggard. Her second daughter-in-law saw it and felt pain in her heart, but she was powerless. They could only continue to wait, waiting for the unknown news, waiting for Fuchang's return.

That day, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open and a young man in a blue guard uniform walked in. He was the housekeeper of the Ulanala Mansion, holding a letter in his hand.

"Fujin, Madam, there's a letter from Master Fuchang!" the housekeeper said breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ulanala and her second daughter-in-law stood up immediately and walked quickly to the housekeeper. The housekeeper handed over the letter with both hands, and they couldn't wait to open the envelope and unfold the letter.

The letter read: "Dear mother and wife, we have successfully completed the mission and are about to return home. We expect to arrive in the capital in a month. Please make preparations for your mother and I, and we will see you at home."

Seeing this, Mrs. Ulanara and her second daughter-in-law were so excited that they held each other's hands tightly, with tears of happiness in their eyes.

"Mom, do you think they will bring us any surprises when they come back this time?" the second daughter-in-law asked softly, breaking the silence in the room.

Mrs. Ulanara smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth in her eyes: "Silly child, they have worked so hard overseas for so long, and it is the biggest surprise that they can come back safely."

As she spoke, she looked up at the calendar hanging on the wall and sighed, "There's still a month left. It feels like a year."

"We've already waited for half a year, so why should we be afraid of this month?" Lady Ulanara comforted.

A month's wait may still be a long time for them, but when they think of the joy of being reunited with their loved ones, all their anxieties and worries disappear.

After learning that Fuchang was about to return, the two were extremely excited and began to prepare intensively. They first cleaned the house thoroughly, from the living room to the bedroom, from the floor to the ceiling, every corner was wiped clean, hoping to give Fuchang a warm and comfortable environment when he returned.

The next step was to prepare food. They recalled Fuchang's favorite dishes and listed a long menu, including braised pork, steamed fish, chicken soup, etc., just to be able to taste the familiar taste when Fuchang returns home.

During the waiting process, the two of them were sometimes nervous and sometimes excited. They often stood at the window and looked into the distance, expecting Fuchang to appear in their sight. Whenever someone knocked on the door or heard footsteps, they would rush out to check, hoping that it was Fuchang who came back.

Finally, on a sunny day, Fuchang came back.

Mrs. Ulanara and Shushujueluo had been waiting at the gate of the mansion early in the morning. When Fuchang appeared in their sight, they hurried forward to greet him.

"Mother, Madam, I'm back." Fuchang spoke hurriedly when he saw his relatives.

"Fuchang, Fuchang, you're finally back." The two of them responded hurriedly when they heard it.

Ulanara couldn't wait to grab Fuchang's hand and took him to the house. As they walked, she asked, "How was your trip to the sea? Mother, you look thinner. Did you not get enough rest?"

"Mother, my son is fine. The voyage went smoothly. I'll come and have a good chat with you after I wash up." Fuchang replied to Lady Ulanara while looking at his own wife beside him.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law like this, Ulanara Fujin quickly realized that she was only concerned with asking her son and forgot to give the couple a chance to speak. She quickly said, "Okay, okay, I forgot. Let you two have a good chat. Fuchang, go wash up and have a rest first! We will have a good chat in the evening. You also go with Fuchang and take good care of him."

Then he took the maid back to his room.

When Fuchang saw that his mother had left, he hurriedly took his wife back to his room.

As soon as she entered the house, Shushujueluo ordered the servants to prepare hot water and clean clothes so that Fuchang could have a good bath and relax.

"Master, you must be tired. After washing up, take a good rest." Shushu Jueluo said with concern.

"Well, you've worked hard too! When I was not at home, thanks to you for staying with mother and taking good care of the children."

"It's not hard. As long as you come back safely, I won't be tired." Then he helped Fuchang wash up.

After taking a bath, Fuchang changed into comfortable clothes and felt much more energetic. But he was still a little tired, so Shushujueluo quickly asked him to go to bed and rest.

"Have a good rest. Now that you are back, we will have a good chat after you have rested." Before going to bed, she gently told Fuchang to have a good rest and to tell her if he needed anything. Fuchang held Shushujueluo's hand gratefully, his heart full of gratitude and dependence on her.

Fuchang slept very soundly that afternoon. He knew that there was someone in this world who cared about him so much, which made him feel extremely happy and at ease. And Shushujueluo also stayed by the bed until she was sure that Fuchang was asleep, and then she quietly left, silently praying in her heart that he would always be healthy and happy.
