Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Ye Li suddenly knew who she was looking for.

Li Siyi has recently taken to coming to the General's Mansion for meals, although he also gets to witness the General's public displays of affection.

But with delicious food in front of him, he no longer cared about the details.

Because Li Siyi always brings Xiao Ziming with him when he visits, the General's Mansion now prepares two extra pairs of chopsticks for them whenever they have a meal.

While eating, Ye Li took out a small card that read:

"From now on, you will be in charge of preparing for the opening of the restaurant."

Li Siyi said incredulously, "I, the dignified heir of the Prince of Zhennan, only do this kind of thing...?"

He said with a pained expression, "This is a waste of talent."

Then he pointed to Xiao Ziming next to him: "He usually eats the most, so you can give it to him."

Xiao Ziming, who was called out, responded:

"It is indeed not appropriate for the lady and the general to appear in person. If you are at ease, leave it to me."

Ye Li shook her head and took out the plan.

Send it to both of them.

This restaurant was not actually just a place that served food and drinks.

Mo Chen is now in danger in the imperial court, and Ye Li is also frequently encountering assassins as a result.

Therefore, she wanted to establish an intelligence network.

The plan has been detailed as follows:

The restaurant has three floors. The first floor is for ordinary people. A special dish is offered at half price every 7 days. All customers who dine in receive a complimentary dessert. It is also a place to find out the latest rumors and trends in the capital.

The second floor is for literati to enjoy singing, dancing, and performances, as well as calligraphy and painting auctions. It is extremely elegant and the prices are a level higher. The entire room is designed for privacy. It is a place to find out the opinions of the candidates and scholars on the court, and if necessary, recruit talented people to take the imperial examinations, thus bribing talent in advance.

The third floor is specifically designed to entice nobles and the wealthy. Each private room has a minimum charge of one thousand taels of silver. The dishes are exquisite, and there are singing and dancing performances, calligraphy and painting auctions, magic shows, and more. After generating enough hype, it attracts noble families to come and take the opportunity to eavesdrop on confidential information.

If a restaurant has just one customer on the top floor each day, the losses on the lower floors will be offset, and the restaurant will not lose money.

Even if she loses money, her other businesses can still support the establishment of this intelligence network in the short term.

Upon seeing the plan, Li Siyi was once again filled with admiration.

He had considered doing this before, but doing so would put him in direct competition with the largest restaurant in Tian Shu Kingdom, which would require substantial financial support.

But now, the general's wife in front of me is a natural money tree...

Li Siyi was interested in intelligence gathering, and he felt that this prototype was feasible and could even be expanded further!

Xiao Ziming agreed, saying that this approach of using marketing to advertise the restaurant while actually gathering intelligence was perfect for Li Siyi, a notorious womanizer.

As cover, it's best for the general and his wife to remain hidden behind the scenes.

Ye Li saw that they had agreed.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Mo Chen was jealous because Ye Li had only been chatting with Si Yi and Zi Mo since earlier.

I usually try to persuade myself to eat.

Mo Chen pouted, looking at Ye Li with a resentful gaze:

"My wife doesn't care about me anymore..."

Seeing that he hadn't eaten much, Ye Li became worried and gently persuaded him:

"Your injury hasn't healed yet. Eat first, then take your medicine later."

Mo Chen, however, hadn't seen her lip movements because he had his head down.

So she went to Mo Chen's side, bent down and squatted down, looking at Mo Chen from below.

Seeing that Mo Chen was looking at her, she mouthed, "Eat."

Unexpectedly, Mo Chen started acting up again and actually turned his head away!

……

Are you throwing a tantrum?

Li Siyi said from the side:

"General, how can you say that your wife doesn't care about you? Look, she's even planning to feed you."

Ye Li looked at Si Yi, whose expression was serious, as if it were something that couldn't be more ordinary.

But Ye Li could tell that he just wanted to see Mo Chen being fed by someone else, like a toddler learning to speak.

Mo Chen, however, took it seriously:

"Brother Siyi, is what you said true? My wife, are you going to feed me?"

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

I'll feed him.

So Ye Li patiently fed him porridge little by little...

Mo Chen said that when he was a child, his mother would feed him porridge when he was sick.

Who knew, as they ate...

Mo Chen shed tears...

Startled, Ye Li scooped up a spoonful of porridge, tasted it herself, and found it was fine; she hadn't added too much salt.

It couldn't be so bad that it would make you cry, could it?

Mo Chen sobbed and shed tears, but still insisted that Ye Li feed him bite by bite.

Even when Ye Li was stunned, he took Ye Li's hand by himself.

Xiao Zimo said:

"Madam, please forgive him. The General is emotionally unstable after being poisoned; perhaps his memory is failing him. Has he remembered something..."

Li Siyi also advised:

"General, don't cry. Your wife will only like you if you look handsome. You won't be handsome if you cry."

The more Ye Li tried to persuade them, the more they cried. Ye Li gestured for them to leave first, saying she would handle it herself.

As for how to handle it...

Sigh, the same old story...

After Ye Li and the others left, she gently hugged Mo Chen and patted his back repeatedly.

To soothe his emotions.

But this time his memory seemed even more confused, and his emotions had not calmed down.

He even started self-harming...

Ye Li was more shocked than ever before!

What... what exactly happened?

A man who was willing to sacrifice his life for his country repeatedly harmed himself after losing his mind.

She hurriedly snatched the shards of porcelain from his hand, but unfortunately, the original owner of this body had no martial arts skills, and in her haste, she herself was also cut.

In an instant——

Blood started flowing...

Seeing Ye Li bleeding, Mo Chen seemed to regain some consciousness, and he immediately panicked:

"My wife, you're bleeding!"

"It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well! And I didn't protect my mother either!"

Ye Li suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

She hugged him tightly and gently patted his head with her hands, again and again.

If you think back, if your mother fed you, there would probably be nursery rhymes or something similar.

She tried humming a tune. Ye Li rarely made a sound, and Mo Chen could understand her lip movements, so she naturally didn't use the original owner's voice.

But she still tried her best to make a sound.

The somber melody was like a lullaby, and Mo Chen gradually calmed down.

He began to realize what he had done and apologized sadly:

"sorry."

"My wife, I'm sorry."

Mo Chen didn't dare to look at Ye Li; he lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

He finally quieted down.

Ye Li quickly picked up a strip of cloth and bandaged him up.

Ever since she encountered the assassin after transmigrating, she has been telling herself that once she has money, she must always carry first aid and bandaging medication with her.

Therefore, it can be processed quite quickly.

Mo Chen has remained silent since then.

Only then did he say:

"Go away... Nobody likes me, and I don't like myself..."

"Everyone, let's go..."
