Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Ye Li was shocked, thinking she was dreaming...

Behind the cemetery in front of us was a scene of utter desolation, which even weeds couldn't conceal.

It's been dug up...

Seeing her standing there blankly, Mo Chen came over worriedly. He was about to call out to her when he was met with a scene of utter chaos.

Mo Chen was incredulous to see his father's grave uncovered, with the coffin exposed.

He was excited and rushed forward, kneeling down to check the situation.

Ye Li also came to her senses and quickly went forward.

She saw Mo Chen move the coffin with trembling hands, only to find it empty...

This……

How is this going?

Mo Chen's fists were clenched tightly, his restrained emotions seemingly about to burst forth.

He lowered his head, knelt before the cemetery, and never rose again.

Ye Li stepped forward and secretly examined the coffin, only to find that something was amiss.

Although I've only ever seen this kind of scene on TV, most coffins are quite long, but this one is so small that it can't even fit an adult.

Moreover, the coffin opened with just a slight movement, indicating that it had not been nailed in beforehand.

She was about to comfort Mo Chen, wondering if things weren't so bad after all...

But when her hand touched Mo Chen, he trembled slightly.

Ye Li heard him ask in anguish:

"If I become the King of Hell, will I be able to keep you here?"

Ye Li shook her head, wanting to say that no matter what happened, she would stay by his side.

But she couldn't speak at this moment, so Ye Li hugged him and held him firmly without letting go.

She heard Mo Chen say:

"Neither my father nor my mother has any remains."

"This is a coffin I made myself, for my own use..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Li felt heartbroken. This rectangular wooden box was actually a coffin that Mo Chen had made for himself!

Judging from the size of this coffin, Mo Chen must have been very young at the time.

At such a young age, he already has the will to die...

She couldn't imagine that the kind general who had saved a mute girl and made such thoughtful arrangements for her.

The gentlemanly Mo Chen was actually trapped in such painful hatred.

He had long been prepared to die, and fearing that no one would bury him, he even chose a grave and coffin next to his parents.

He's... afraid he won't be able to come back...

They possess the courage to defend the country and safeguard its borders, even at the cost of their lives.

They also possess the benevolence to help the poor and needy, and to care for all living beings and love the common people.

Why was such a person repeatedly targeted for assassination?

Even the resting place of their own parents is being destroyed by heartless people!

It is now known that there were no remains in the original cemetery, meaning the villains failed.

However, Ye Li's worries did not lessen.

Mo Chen was clearly pushed to his limit; she could even feel him trembling as she hugged him.

"I have no way out. Either I die, or the person who killed me must die..."

Ye Li knew that he wanted revenge.

No one would willingly endure such humiliation with equanimity.

Whether it was poisoning and amnesia or being assassinated in turn, all of these were aimed at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen could tolerate it, but he absolutely could not tolerate his family being humiliated.

She took his hand and wrote down, word by word, on his palm:

"I'll be with you."

Ye Li thought that to get revenge, she needed to have some leverage.

She was determined to use her modern knowledge to make a lot of money and then use her resources to help Mo Chen.

That day, Mo Chen spent a long time carefully cleaning the overgrown cemetery.

He then fell silent and remained kneeling quietly.

Ye Li couldn't bear it, so she hugged Mo Chen tightly.

As night fell, Mo Chen took a deep breath and whispered to Ye Li:

"The ground is cold; you'll catch a cold."

"Thank you for staying with me, Pear. Let's go back now."

Ye Li shook her head. He had put a shawl on her before he left, so she wasn't cold at all.

She was only worried about him.

Mo Chen's current appearance is merely a forced composure; he is probably suffering far more inside.

They got into the carriage, and he no longer held her and comforted her as he had on the way there.

There were no more intimate gestures between them.

Ye Li couldn't help but worry.

Mo Chen seemed to have closed himself off, preventing himself from having any emotions or desires.

Mo Chen suppressed his desire to caress his lovely wife and forced himself to let go.

He is about to embark on a path of revenge, a path fraught with difficulties, and he cannot bear to implicate those around him any longer.

Mo Chen knew who was forcing him to make a choice in this way.

He never brought anyone to his father's and mother's graves.

Only one person knows about this place...

General's Mansion.

The subordinates, who had recently grown accustomed to the intimate moments between the wife and the general, all sensed that the atmosphere today was unusually heavy.

They went to pay their respects to the old general, so how did this happen?

Li Siyi was the most curious, but Xiao Ziming tugged at his sleeve, and the two of them tacitly agreed to eat together.

However, Doctor Mu kept complaining at the dinner table that the food wasn't good and that Ye Li had to cook it herself.

They also asked where Ye Li had gone today, as she was nowhere to be seen.

Listening to Doctor Mu's rambling, Ye Li decided to put the matter of the antidote on the agenda as soon as possible.

But if she were to leave Mo Chen at this juncture, she feared that Mo Chen would overthink things.

Ye Li feared that Mo Chen might make an impulsive choice under the influence of hatred.

Seeing that Ye Li was actually distracted, Doctor Mu became furious and said:

"Although your medical skills have improved rapidly, you must remain humble. Your master is asking you a question, why aren't you answering?"

Ye Li nodded, then wrote on the table with water:

I'll make a new recipe tomorrow.

The divine physician Mu then said with satisfaction, "This child is teachable."

After finishing his meal, Mo Chen went to his study alone.

He trapped himself there, drinking pot after pot of wine.

By the time Ye Li brought the late-night snack, Mo Chen was already half-drunk and half-awake, and his eyes were too heavy to keep open.

Ye Li had never seen him in such pain since she transmigrated here.

I felt incredibly sorry for Mo Chen.

Ye Li stepped forward and hugged him tightly, letting him lean on her shoulder.

Mo Chen smelled a familiar scent; it was the unique fragrance of his wife.

At that moment, he seemed like a traveler who had found an oasis in the desert.

He absorbed the scent emanating from Ye Li without even realizing it.

Normally, Ye Li would like his closeness, but she would still be very shy.

Tonight, however, she longs for him to hug her more.

I hope he can forget those unhappy things and just have the two of them.

Despite his pain, Mo Chen did not vent his emotions on Ye Li.

After recognizing Ye Li, he grabbed the cloak from the chair.

Gently draped the cloak over Ye Li's shoulders and said:

"Military duties are heavy, I won't go back to sleep tonight, it's windy, you should go back first."

Ye Li didn't leave.

She shook her head firmly at him.

Mo Chen comforted him again, "Be good, go back."

Ye Li shook her head again.

Mo Chen was drunk and saw that she wouldn't leave.

I couldn't bear to scold or hit her, and for a moment I didn't know what to do...

He tilted his head back, picked up the wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

Then he said, "Let's go, let me be alone for a while."

Ye Li took the wine jug from his hand, put it to her lips, and took a big gulp.

She wanted to drink with him, but unexpectedly, the original owner was an ordinary, weak woman, and even this amount of alcohol made her choke.

Although Mo Chen was drunk, he still couldn't bear to make Ye Li feel bad.

He gently patted Ye Li's back and patted her back to help her catch her breath.

After Ye Li calmed down,

She picked up the wine jug again, took a sip, but didn't swallow it.

Instead, she pressed her lips together and brought them close to Mo Chen's lips.

Although Mo Chen's mind was not very clear, he was still conscious.

I was quite surprised by her bold move.

The girl's delicate fragrance wafted towards me, and her tender lips were pressed against mine...
