Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Ye Li chased after him, knowing he was very possessive of his food, but she couldn't hit him in the street.

She grabbed Mo Chen's fist, which he was about to swing. Mo Chen, sensing Ye Li's approach, pouted as if he had found a backer and said, "He stole my food!"

Ye Li nodded, indicating that she understood.

She looked at the little beggar; he was sallow and thin, and his hair was disheveled and scattered to his side.

He grabbed the food and quickly ate a few bites; he's still chewing it now.

They must have been starving.

She looked at Mo Chen and asked using mouth language:

"If one day I end up homeless, penniless and starving, would you be willing to share some of your food with me?"

Mo Chen answered without hesitation: "I'm willing."

Ye Li continued, "I'm afraid I'll encounter a similar situation in the future, so let's do a good deed today."

"Shouldn't our clever Mo Chen be angry? Let's share some with him?"

Mo Chen was initially unwilling, as he was at the age where youthful vigor was at its peak.

You punch me once, I'll punch you ten times back; you're acting impulsively.

But Ye Li was someone he cared about, and after several attempts to pout and act cute, he couldn't get through it.

He then stammered, "Although I won't let my wife go hungry, let's do a good deed every day, as you said."

Mo Chen made a fist-throwing gesture at the little beggar again, but it was merely a threat, with barely any force.

Hearing Mo Chen's tone and actions, the little beggar thought he had been spared by a benefactor...

He had just spotted his targets; these two important people were dressed simply, but they frequented relatively expensive shops.

They eat and wear good food, and they buy a lot of food. Stealing a little bit isn't a big deal; at most, they'll get a beating.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Li grabbed his hand and slapped it hard!

With a "smack," it was followed by a few more blows!

Ye Li grabbed his hand and slapped his palm. Although the girl's strength was not great, the sound was really loud.

The sound made Mo Chen feel incredibly happy!

After Ye Li finished, she stuffed several food packages into his arms.

The little beggar couldn't understand, but as soon as the food was in his hands, he grabbed it tightly, as if it were a lifeline.

Ye Li gave him a bag of food for every slap she gave him, then turned and took Mo Chen's hand and continued walking...

Mo Chen was pleased, and Ye Li had also resolved this problem: Of course, the general couldn't beat up a commoner in the street. If any official in the court saw it, they could make a big fuss about it. So it was better for her to beat him up herself, at most she would be called a shrew.

The little beggar stared blankly at the two departing figures, remaining silent for a long time...

……

They walked along, and then Mo Chen led Ye Li to a wood carving shop.

This shop appears to specialize in wood carvings, with a sign that reads "Han Family Wood Carvings." Inside, there are many wood carvings on display, including wooden ornaments, combs, children's toys, dressing cases, chairs, and more...

Several potted orchids were placed at the entrance, and several paintings of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums hung on the wall, exuding a rustic charm and poetic beauty, showcasing the owner's taste.

When the shopkeeper saw that a customer had arrived, he greeted him warmly and generously.

When she finally saw Mo Chen's appearance clearly, she was pleasantly surprised!

The shopkeeper worked quickly and skillfully, brewing tea and handing it to Mo Chen.

With a beaming smile, he said, "Young master, it's been so long! Try this tea, it used to be your favorite... I wonder if you still like my cooking..."

She was full of enthusiasm but also nervous at the last minute, afraid that Mo Chen would not be satisfied.

Mo Chen readily accepted the tea, but instead of drinking it himself, he said to the shopkeeper:

“Nanny, I’ve always loved your tea. The tea you brew is the best.”

When Ye Li heard Mo Chen call her "nanny," she tensed up instantly. She had actually met Mo Chen's elder!

Mo Chen took the tea, then handed it to Ye Li, saying sweetly:

"My lady, please try this! The tea your wet nurse makes is absolutely delicious!"

Upon hearing Mo Chen's form of address, Manager Han was inwardly surprised and thought:

"The young master is married?!"

Mo Chen displayed his pride as proudly as a male peacock:

"Yes, this is my wife."

"My wife, this is my wet nurse."

Ye Li was startled by Mo Chen's sudden invitation to meet the parents. She was already unable to speak, but she still opened her mouth, and then didn't know what to do with her hands and feet...

I was thinking to myself, what should I do? I wasn't prepared at all!

The shopkeeper, Han, said enthusiastically, "Oh my, it's the young mistress! I'm so old, I didn't recognize you!"

She looked Ye Li up and down:

"I never imagined that the young master was already married. This old man's news is no longer reliable, and my hearing is failing. I haven't even had a chance to congratulate the young master yet!"

She rummaged through her clothes, then took Ye Li's hand and slipped a jade bracelet, a bluish-green color, onto Ye Li's wrist.

"Young mistress, you are truly dignified and elegant. This old woman wishes you a long and happy life together."

Seemingly ashamed that he didn't have a decent gift, he kept saying:

"This is the most expensive bracelet I own. Please accept it as a small gift for the young mistress. I hope you won't find it offensive."

Ye Li was shocked. She quickly took off her clothes. She couldn't avoid such a generous gift and wanted to return it as soon as possible.

Mo Chen has lost his memory, so he clings to her every day. If he regains his senses, he might never say anything like "I like you" again.

All worldly affairs are but illusions.

Like a mirage, yet so persistent.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Ye Li felt a strange sadness welling up in her heart.

But Manager Han insisted on giving it to her.

She slipped the bracelet onto Ye Li's hand, pressing it down to prevent her from taking it off, and said earnestly:

"Young Madam, please don't refuse. This is just a small token of my appreciation from this old woman who is nearing the end of her life."

"If you can give the young master a healthy and chubby child in the future, then the master and mistress will be comforted in heaven."

When Ye Li heard the phrase "spirit in heaven," her vague suspicions were confirmed.

Mo Chen's parents have passed away, and he was forced to marry a mute woman.

The emperor really did something inhuman.

Mo Chen brought his wife to meet his wet nurse, and was even happier to see that the wet nurse also liked Ye Li.

Manager Han seemed to remember something. She hurriedly ran into the inner room and said, "Young Madam, please wait for me."

When they came out again, they saw that Manager Han was holding a very antique-looking cosmetic box.

She placed the box in front of Ye Li and opened it layer by layer. Ye Li saw that inside were not only jade bracelets, but also jade pendants, gold hairpins, and other jewelry. Shopkeeper Han smiled and said:

"These were all gifts for the daughter-in-law of the Mo family, but now they all belong to you, young mistress."

Ye Li had already received a gift from her wet nurse today, but she never expected to receive such a generous gift representing the entrustment of the Mo family's daughter-in-law!

Ye Li was genuinely startled and felt extremely embarrassed, so she quickly waved her hand.

Only Mo Chen accepted it for Ye Li without any hesitation.

Manager Han was all smiles.

After accepting the gifts, Mo Chen said he was going out to play with his wife.

Manager Han saw them off with reluctance, and told them to come back whenever they had time. Mo Chen also told the wet nurse to prepare more things to give to his wife next time.

Ye Li was so embarrassed she just wanted to cover her face...

Surprisingly, the wet nurse was quite satisfied, saying that Mo Chen had grown up and knew how to care for others...

The two of them strolled around for a while longer before deciding to head home.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred—

"Help! Is there a doctor?! Please help!"

Ye Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person rushing out of the restaurant, shouting for a doctor.

Ye Li remembered that she had taken first aid courses before, so she rushed forward.

In a private room on the first floor of the restaurant, an old man was lying on the floor, seemingly unconscious.

Those nearby were already shaking their heads: "The deceased has passed away, please accept our condolences..."

But the servant who had rushed out to call for help refused to give up and kept saying:

"Quickly, save him! Is there anyone who can revive my master? A huge reward awaits!"

The old man was lying on the ground. Ye Li thought about how saving someone required the golden three minutes.

So she said to Mo Chen, "I need to save him, can you help me?"

Mo Chen said, "I know him, my wife, can you save him?"

Upon hearing that Mo Chen recognized the old man, Ye Li immediately began to provide first aid!

She tried standard CPR, but the old man didn't respond. So she said to Mo Chen, "Can you bleed him at the same time?"

Mo Chen nodded.

From the moment Ye Li began performing first aid, people around her were pointing and whispering, but Ye Li had no time to pay attention.

It wasn't until Mo Chen followed Ye Li's instructions and retrieved needles from the waiter that Ye Li drew blood from the old man's ear tips and ten fingers. Only then did the servants beside the old man panic.

"What are you doing?! This is outrageous!"

Mo Chen stopped him and continued to obey his wife's orders to bleed him.

The servant recognized him and exclaimed:

"General, you mustn't! This is tantamount to treason!"

"This is the retired emperor who watched you grow up!"
