Facing such doubts, Pei Ji'an looked at the old lady solemnly and said, "The Pei Family Army's exercises are about to begin, and the court might not be able to supply resources in time. Our main household has always supported the Pei Family Army with private resources, and grandmother, you're well aware of this. Now, I'm often busy with the tasks given by the emperor and unable to manage private affairs, so I asked Fulan to help. Grandmother, you've witnessed her capabilities. I can handle family matters, but the external enterprises require Fulan's assistance. Hence, her absence today is at my request. Since urgent resources are needed at the border, delivering them quickly will allow the exercises to start sooner, preventing potential issues."
Compared to family matters, military affairs are undoubtedly more significant.
