Su Zhi also did not care that much. After she left, she went to the kitchen to get hot water for the two steamed buns to wash up.

When Su Zhi settled the kids down, she realized that she was also sweating and that her body was dirty from working all day. She had wanted to go to the hot springs in the back of the mountain, but was afraid of meeting wild beasts that roamed at night to look for food.

Su Zhi had always been a clean freak. She could not stand her slovenly appearance and was drenched in sweat. After tossing and turning for a long time, she still had not fallen asleep. Thus, she stood up and went outside to enjoy the cool breeze.

She wandered aimlessly through the tents, only daring to visit a few places she often visited, afraid that she would be taken as a spy if she wasn't careful enough.

Unknowingly, they had arrived in front of Xiao Qian's tent.

Su Zhi stared blankly for a moment. Seeing that the kerosene lamp inside was still lit, she knew that Xiao Qian had not fallen asleep yet.

”Eh? Young lady of the Su family? ”Why haven't you gone back yet?”

The gatekeeper rubbed his eyes, and after seeing that it was indeed Su Zhi, he asked her in confusion, ”What is this important that only a general knows?”

Su Zhi had originally planned to go to bed, but had let go of the woman's bun. Her hair was as smooth and shiny as ink around her waist, and under the bright and clear silver moonlight, she seemed like an immortal, cold woman floating in the air.

With a beauty in front of me, how could I dare to be negligent? I had to turn around and report.

Su Zhi quickly stopped him and pretended to be passing by and was about to leave.

Her current identity was that of a real widow, which was nothing in the current era. However, in this era, widows were the real deal, and the general was still unmarried, so it was better not to implicate him.

Seeing this, the little general gave up and saw that Su Zhi's face was extremely unsightly and her eyebrows were gently knitted. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Xiao Qian had long since heard the conversation between the two of them.

At that time, just as he was about to close the account book and go to sleep, he heard faint footsteps outside the tent. Upon hearing that it was Su Zhi, he thought she would come in.

It was already so late, why didn't this woman rest and wander around?

”Tian'er, it's hot, I can't sleep soundly, so I came out for a walk to enjoy the wind. I'll be back in a while, there's no need to disturb the general.”

It was so hot that he could not sleep.

Xiao Qian probably understood. Thinking back to last night when Su Zhi had gone to the back of the mountain on her own, his heart palpitated.

In order to protect her reputation, he ordered his soldiers not to go near the hot spring. Did this woman not understand? He even looked at the terrain while hunting, afraid that he would disturb her.

”Be careful, little lady Su. There are many mosquitoes at night. You have to be careful with this tender skin.”
