The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

This attitude greatly displeased Shen Zhian.

As Zhou Buzhang walked away, his dissatisfaction grew.

"Sigh, how could I have been so blind as to marry such a person?"

"They have absolutely no sense of responsibility!"

"It's just a minor predicament right now, can't we find a little joy in the midst of hardship? Can't we cheer ourselves up?"

"If you don't stand up for yourselves, our family..."

"How can I make a living?"

Shen Zhian was quite dissatisfied with Zhou Buzhang's attitude, but even under these circumstances, she still wanted to be a strong woman!

At the very least, she has to look like a strong, independent woman!

Only by cultivating a positive attitude in our behavior can we develop a positive mindset and better face life.

Only then can one seize the occasional sweet moments that life offers.

This is Shen Zhian's life motto, so he continues to sit down, eat, drink, and quietly and even peacefully enjoy his meal.

After eating, tidy everything up and go to sleep, but you won't sleep with Zhou Buzhang.

She didn't like Zhou Buzhang's state and didn't want him to affect her.

She can only have good luck if she maintains a good state of mind.

Shen Zhian's calculations were incredibly accurate.

The very next morning, after she got up, her maid rushed in, saying, "Madam, someone has come to visit!"

"He said his surname was Zhang and that he was a deputy military commander!"

Shen Zhian's eyes widened instantly.

"Your surname is Zhang?"

"The deputy commander-in-chief of the army?"

"General Zhang Shi?!"

"Please come in quickly!"

Shen Zhian was very excited and felt a sense of pride in herself. She thought to herself, "Only by staying positive and optimistic can one attract good luck!"

See, good luck has arrived!

With General Zhang Shi here, how far away can even greater good fortune be?

After quickly tidying up, she hurried into the hall and met the legendary General Zhang Shi!

Exactly the same as the legend!

General Zhang Shi looks...very ferocious!

The scar on his face, in particular, was shocking to behold, and I almost instinctively averted my gaze, saying politely, "General Zhang Shi, I truly didn't expect you to come to my door."

"Please forgive me for not being able to greet you from afar!"

Zhang Shi waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I'm a rough man, I don't care about these things."

"I've come to see you today because I have some matters I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if this is a convenient time for you?"

Shen Zhian immediately said, "Since General Zhang Shi is willing to come in person, I will make it convenient for him even if it is inconvenient for me. General Zhang Shi, please feel free to speak your mind!"

Zhang Shidao: "There are two things."

"The first thing I'd like to ask for your help, Madam."

"well……"

At this point, Zhang Shi immediately let out a vivid sigh, saying, "I thought that after coming to the Yangtze River defense line, the grievances I suffered at Ren Tianye's hands would finally be over, but I didn't expect that the Yangtze River defense line would be just as difficult to navigate!"

"Not only did I fail to gain the Grand Commander's trust after driving away his wife, but even Ruan Fei, who was by his side, spoke harshly to me, and that Ning Wanqin was also quite rude to me!"

"I, Zhang Shi, am truly outnumbered and outmatched now!"

Zhang Shi sighed loudly, but Shen Zhi'an's eyes lit up when he heard it.

General Zhang Shi's situation in the military camp was not good.

But why did he deliberately seek her out when he was in a bad situation?

Doesn't that mean...?

Could we form an alliance with General Zhang Shi?

In this way, she and General Zhang Shi had a very close relationship!

With a talent like General Zhang Shi, he will inevitably reach the pinnacle sooner or later, and at that time, her investment will definitely yield huge returns.

Thinking this, Shen Zhian sat up straight.

He said, "General Zhang Shi, I really didn't expect you to encounter such a predicament. Although I am not very talented, I do have considerable wealth, as well as some business connections and networks, so..."

"If General Zhang Shi needs it, I, Shen Zhian, can provide some assistance!"

Zhang Shi was pleasantly surprised.

Is it really that easy and convenient to talk to these people?

Before he could even speak, these people seemed to know what he was thinking and brought it up on their own initiative.

He said, "If that's the case, then that would be perfect."

"Madam, Zhang Shi, thank you very much."

Shen Zhian quickly said, "General Zhang Shi, you're too kind. It's my great honor to form an alliance with you. However... I hope General Zhang Shi can keep this a secret and not tell anyone else, especially..."

Shen Zhian's gaze deepened, and he highlighted a few names.

"Ruan Fei!"

"Ning Wanqin!"

"Gu Qingyue!"

"Baby!"

Zhang Shi nodded emphatically, his face serious, and said, "Don't worry, this is a secret between my wife and me!"

"I, Zhang Shi, will absolutely not tell anyone other than the two of us."

Shen Zhian was relieved, and the joy on her face grew stronger. Zhang Shi spoke up, saying, "The second thing is also something I'd like to ask you for a favor, Madam."

"I just feel like I'm troubling you too much, Madam..."

Shen Zhian waved his hand and said, "Hey, General Zhang Shi, what are you saying? We are allies now, why make a fuss over such a small matter?"

"Like I said before, if there's anything you need, just tell me. I, Shen Zhian, will do everything I can for you, and even if I can't do it, I'll definitely try to find a way!"

Zhang Shi nodded.

This time, however, he showed little embarrassment. Instead, he calmly said, "It's like this: the military camp is currently severely lacking in naval commanders. I'm afraid that if things continue like this, we won't be able to stop Ren Tianye's army from crossing the river!"

"Therefore, we plan to train a group of naval commanders. However, we still need an outstanding veteran to take on this role. After much thought, we finally decided that General Zhou Buzhang is the best candidate."

"Therefore, I have come to inquire, Madam, whether it is possible to persuade General Zhou Buzhang to return to service?"

Shen Zhian was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

Should Zhou Buzhang be brought out of seclusion?

This is... wonderful!

She had been trying to wake Zhou Buzhang up, but he remained dazed and confused, as if in a dream. Now, a tremendous opportunity was presented to them!

and……

If Zhou Buzhang were to return to service and be given an important position, then his salary and the influence of his military status would allow her to make even greater strides in the business world!

This……

This is fantastic news!

He immediately replied, "General Zhang Shi, that's fine!"

"That's fantastic!"

"I'll talk to Zhou Buzhang to come out of seclusion!"

"As long as General Zhang Shi agrees, I will send him out of seclusion right away. He will come with you to the military camp today!"

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Alright then, I'll wait for you for three days. If, within three days, Madam and General Zhou Buzhang have made up their minds, then please have General Zhou Buzhang come to the military camp to find me!"

If it doesn't work, then forget it.

"I, Zhang Shi, will shoulder this critical situation in the army alone!"

Shen Zhian quickly reassured him again: "General Zhang Shi, don't worry, Bu Zhang will definitely report to the military camp on time."

Zhang Shi nodded, chatted with Shen Zhian for a few more words, then got up to say goodbye. Shen Zhian saw him to the front door, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

Turning to Shen Zhian, he said, "By the way, Madam, please tell General Zhou Buzhang that if he is willing to come, I, Zhang Shi, am willing to give him 100,000 taels of silver as an invitation fee!"

After saying this, Zhang Shi really left, prompting Shen Zhi'an to exclaim, "General Zhang Shi, what a grand gesture!"

"He's throwing around 100,000 taels of silver in one go!"

"It's not easy for a military officer like him to have saved up 100,000 taels of silver. It's really not easy, yet he was willing to give it up. This shows that General Zhang Shi's character is not comparable to that of ordinary people."

With this kind of mindset, what wouldn't they succeed at?

"I'm relieved that Buzhang will be following General Zhang Shi from now on!"
