Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

"Can Madam truly accept that the General will continue to act this way?"

Si Yi was originally polite but distant towards the lady.

After all, anyone with a bit of inside information would know that the emperor's bestowal of this marriage was not well-intentioned.

Even if this woman is deeply favored by the general, it's probably only because of the prestigious title of "General's Wife."

She might not care much about the general, but unexpectedly, she didn't mind that the general had lost his mind.

Ye Li didn't expect that Si Yi would be curious about her and Mo Chen's relationship. She had originally planned to meet the wet nurse, so she had prepared mostly small talk about family matters.

So she dipped her finger in the tea and wrote on the table:

"The tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. One must bide one's time and conceal one's abilities."

At this moment, both Zi Mo and Si Yi felt a deep respect for the woman before them; her demeanor was truly extraordinary.

Although the lady could not speak, she had a clear understanding of the situation.

The general already has many enemies. If he continues to live under his current identity, making people think that he has lost his mind and has become a child, it will undoubtedly lower the guard of those hiding in the shadows.

The best defense is to lie low and wait.

Unexpectedly, this woman they had just met had thought of this. Now both generals looked at Ye Li with new respect. No wonder the general had lowered his guard against her in such a short time.

Neither of them dared to neglect Ye Li at this moment.

however……

Actually, Ye Li didn't think too much about it.

Before she transmigrated, she was a couch potato who wasn't good at socializing. After discovering that she couldn't speak and had no martial arts skills in her current body, she decided to escape.

The thugs lurking in the shadows wanted to kill Mo Chen because he threatened certain people and things. If Mo Chen became an idiot, an idiot wouldn't pose much of a threat. He might be monitored or tested, but it wouldn't lead to a complete breakdown in relations.

Even though Mo Chen was mentally impaired, he still held the title of general.

It's beneficial to those hiding in the shadows, but if he dies and is replaced by a new, decisive general, the situation will likely change again.

Ye Li originally planned to feign illness to avoid entering the palace, and then secretly ask Mo Chen's wet nurse if he had any trump cards or tricks up his sleeve after serving as a general for so many years, so that she could turn the tide when the antidote arrived.

Ye Li's only thought after transmigrating to ancient times was to live a life of leisure and wait for death.

After these important figures have finished their back-and-forth exchanges, she'll die, and perhaps then she'll be able to travel back in time...

Ye Li's brain has limited capacity, so she doesn't want to think too complicatedly.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just right by chance.

As Mo Chen listened to their conversation and saw the words on the table, tears welled up in her eyes again...

"My wife, do you really not mind me? Even though I can't remember anything anymore?... I know that Brother Rufeng and the other brothers really want me to remember quickly, because I used to have to drink a lot of very bitter medicine..."

Mo Chen continued, sobbing, "..."

"But after I drank... after I drank the very bitter medicine, I fell into a dark hole... I walked and walked and walked, but I couldn't get out of the hole. It was so dark, so very dark..."

He wept bitterly as he recounted those days of slumber, finding an outlet for his endless grievances at that moment.

Ye Li listened silently, then opened the food box, picked up a sweet potato with her chopsticks, and held it to his nose.

Mo Chen smelled the aroma of sweet potatoes and opened his eyes.

Seeing Ye Li smile gently at him, Mo Chen was happy and ate as Ye Li fed him, muttering "Delicious" and "I want more"...

She didn't even care about her tears...

Ye Li picked up another piece and fed it to him.

Mo Chen ate bite after bite, his smile as sweet as a sweet potato, praising Ye Li without reservation:

"My wife's cooking is so delicious!"

Ye Li didn't speak, she just smiled and then fed the animals.

Watching Si Yi and Zi Mo interact, a strange feeling crept into their hearts:

Looking at each other so affectionately, are they deliberately showing off their love?

Si Yi was filled with curiosity about this sweet food, so it's no wonder he was puzzled.

The development of ingredients in this era was not yet complete, and there were basically no cooking skills. Only a small number of people could eat honey, and salt was a rare seasoning. Therefore, he was still relatively unfamiliar with sweetness.

Si Yi looked at the food, which was tempting in both color and taste, with a longing expression, while Zi Mo remained silent, just staring at the general's expression as he ate, deep in thought, seemingly pondering something.

Enticed by his general's repeated praises of "delicious" and "I want more," Si Yi fawned over Ye Li and asked:

"Madam, what is this ingredient that emits such a wonderful aroma?"

Ye Li had anticipated this, so she took out a small card and gave each of them a pair of chopsticks.

Si Yi, feigning composure, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, only to be stunned the moment it entered her mouth—

The sweet taste and soft, chewy texture completely changed his understanding of food!

Such a flavor exists in the world!

It's sooooo delicious!!!

Si Yi didn't care about her image after taking the first bite. She stuffed pieces into her mouth one after another, and even put the pieces she couldn't finish into her mouth.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about speaking. After all, the general used to eat very fast, and if he didn't grab the food, it would be gone in no time!

Zi Mo, on the other hand, was more composed. Seeing the reactions of Si Yi and his general, he knew that this bright and vibrant ingredient was no ordinary product.

Zi Mo picked up a piece, and it just so happened that a little bit of sugar could be pulled out of it. Seeing this strange sight, Zi Mo raised an eyebrow, as if he had made a connection to something, and his expression dimmed for a moment. But when he put it in his mouth, he froze...

Because the sweet potato was so soft and powdery, and the pear was sliced ​​so thinly, the sugar and sweet potato melted in his mouth even without him chewing...

It melts in your mouth, is sweet and delicious, and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. It is a unique delicacy!

Zi Mo was a beat slow, and by the time he came to his senses, more than half of the food on the plate had already been eaten. The ruthless and taciturn Zi Mo then activated his martial arts-trained hand speed and began to eat quickly.

The two grown men ate the dessert at a speed that resembled a martial arts contest, so it was naturally gone in no time.

The last piece was picked up by Siyi and Zimo at the same time. Zimo ate the last piece, but he was also a persistent person and refused to let go. So the two were secretly competing with each other.

The contest between men never needs words, only a glance.

At this moment, they were both holding sweet potatoes, staring at each other, neither of them intending to give up this last piece.

Ye Li vaguely felt that the embroidery of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger on their bodies seemed to have materialized and were engaged in a fierce confrontation!

It's probably just my imagination; people wouldn't be so possessive of their food over a piece of candied sweet potato...

Is it just my imagination?

Unexpectedly, as the saying goes, "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits," Mo Chen's chopsticks directly picked up the last piece.

He placed it in front of Ye Li: "Wife, this is the last piece, you eat it!"

Mo Chen looked at Ye Li with sparkling eyes, excitedly seeking praise.

Ye Li felt a little embarrassed, but this piece wasn't enough for the three of them, so she said she wouldn't eat it and would let Mo Chen eat it instead.

Unexpectedly, Mo Chen placed it directly to her lips, and now that it was on her mouth, Ye Li had no choice but to bite it.

Then Mo Chen quickly stepped forward, brought his face close to Ye Li, and gently bit off the outer end of the sweet potato.

Ye Li didn't react for a moment, until she saw that half of the sweet potato in her mouth was gone. Mo Chen took the other half and said with a smile:

"My wife wants me to eat, and I want my wife to eat too, so let's each have half! No need for all this back and forth."

........................

Ye Li's face turned red instantly, like a boiled lobster.

Ugh, that brat is messing with me again!

There are two perfectly healthy people right next to them!

Having lived two lifetimes, Ye Li had never been born into a single life, and had never shown such close intimacy to others before.

She was instantly terrified. In a panic, she grabbed a cup and gulped down a glass of water, but the water couldn't extinguish the heat on her face—it was just too hot…

Then Ye Li still felt too embarrassed to stay any longer, so she lowered her head and rushed out, with Mo Chen immediately following after her.

The room was left silent, with only two subordinates lamenting the loss of their meal.

Having eaten her fill and witnessed the General's public displays of affection, Si Yi finally had the time to look at the food cards Ye Li had given her earlier.

This lady is truly meticulous. No matter what predicament she is in, she has her own set of methods. Even when she is in danger and unable to speak, she remains completely calm.

He glanced at the card, then looked at it again incredulously, until he felt as if he couldn't recognize the words on it anymore...

He quickly went to Zi Mo's side: "A Mo, look, am I seeing things? Is this line of text correct? Is this the food I'm thinking of? Am I still dreaming?"

Zi Mo was already used to Si Yi's occasional erratic behavior and incoherent speech, so he took it and looked at it himself. When he saw a certain line, he was stunned, and then he was overjoyed.

This lady is truly a lucky charm.

Who would have thought that the most difficult problem in the military could be solved in this way?!
