Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Mo Chen said dejectedly:

"Everyone, let's go..."

He had told everyone to leave, but he sat there listlessly, as if awaiting his final judgment…

In the warm, sunny daylight, the boy lowered his eyes, lifeless, with only tears falling.

Ye Li was heartbroken beyond words...

She thought she really didn't know what had happened to him.

But no matter what life throws your way.

To survive is to carry the hopes of one's loved ones...

A child's name is the first gift parents give.

Since he is called Chen (尘), it implies that a bright pearl should not be covered in dust.

Therefore, he has won many battles and become a general of the country. He has done what he could.

He was forced into marriage, yet he still treated his unfamiliar wife kindly, giving her everything he had, without ever harboring any resentment.

He was poisoned and lost his mind, but he did not lose his kind nature and remained innocent.

The spirits of the father and mother in heaven will surely be proud of their child.

Mo Chen stared blankly at the words she had written, seemingly in disbelief. Tears streaming down his face, he asked:

"Father, Mother..."

"Would...would you think Ah Chen is...a good kid? Would you be proud of him?"

Ye Li nodded solemnly, then, fearing he might overthink things.

She quickly corrected herself, writing each word carefully:

"He is also a good husband."

Mo Chen stared blankly at his palm.

She wrote again:

"I will be proud of you."

……

The cracks in my heart were gradually melted by the warm flame.

He knows he's not good enough.

But it takes all the luck of one's entire life.

I met such a gentle girl.

Mo Chen waited until she finished writing, then burst into tears, saying:

"sorry Sorry……"

Ye Li was afraid that his grief would reopen his wounds, so she could only hug him again and gently pat him to comfort him.

The softly hummed tune drifted in again—

It soothed the deep wounds in my soul.

Mo Chen hugged her back; he didn't want to give up this only source of warmth.

If I must go to hell, let me linger a little longer in this warm world, and with these people before me!

Mo Chen didn't stop crying until dusk was approaching.

Seeing that he was in an unstable mood today, Ye Li decided that they would sleep together in each other's arms at night.

He was covered with a thick blanket, but it felt like he was in an ice cave. He simply held her petite body tightly, drawing warmth from her.

-

The next day.

The sound of birdsong drifted in at dawn.

Ye Li couldn't sleep well all night and woke up early.

She opened her eyes, intending to get up, but woke Mo Chen.

Mo Chen rubbed his eyes, his gaze still sleepy, and asked:

"Good morning, my wife. Why do my eyes feel so uncomfortable?"

"My throat is also uncomfortable. Am I sick?"

Upon hearing his words, Ye Li secretly guessed that his brain might have filtered out the painful memories.

The human brain activates its protective mechanisms when in pain.

Ye Li saw that he hadn't remembered, so she naturally didn't want to bring it up.

She gave him a bright smile and then said:

"Little sleepyhead, wake up! I've made you a delicious breakfast today."

Mo Chen immediately started yelling when he heard there was something delicious to eat:

"I love what my wife makes the most; everything is delicious!"

Then she got up, made her bed, and did it all in one go, urging Ye Li to hurry up while she put on her shoes...

Looking at his energetic appearance.

Ye Li thought, "Let's leave it at that."

Life went on uneventfully.

one day.

Ye Li heard someone call her name.

In the distance, a man dressed in coarse cloth shorts, his grayish-brown clothes covered with patches of different garments, could be seen.

His dark complexion, coupled with his resolute square face, gave him a simple and honest demeanor that exuded a sense of uprightness and fortitude.

"Little sister, little sister, Ye Li, Ye Li!"

The man was so excited that he suddenly darted forward and rushed to Ye Li.

She exclaimed excitedly, "Little sister! Little sister! How are you? I never expected to see you here!"

Ye Li, relying on the original owner's memories, knew that this was the original owner's older brother.

The Ye family has two siblings: the older brother Ye Chonghuan and the younger sister Ye Li.

Although the original owner was mute, she had never suffered any grievances in her life. Her parents loved and cared for her, and she didn't have to do housework. She didn't want to learn needlework and embroidery, so that was fine with it.

They didn't force her, but on the contrary, her brother had to read, practice calligraphy, ride horses and shoot arrows every day, and sometimes he even had to learn swordsmanship and hidden weapons for self-defense.

Ye Li has been able to buy whatever she wants since she was a child. Even if her parents disagree, her brother will secretly earn money and buy it for her.

For the original owner, her brother was like another father figure, and he was very kind to her.

The day they were separated by the crowd, her brother was supposed to take her to a teahouse to eat roast chicken.

However, they happened to encounter an assassin trying to kill the general, which implicated Ye Li, and the two siblings were separated by the crowd of people fleeing for their lives.

After recalling everything, Ye Li felt a lot of affection for this "brother". Originally, he was just a person in her memory, but when he stood in front of her in real life, she could really feel the joy that remained in his body.

The original owner's lingering emotions were pleased, and her heart began to beat faster...

Mo Chen became alert when he saw a man approaching Ye Li. He shielded Ye Li with his hands, blocking her way like a loyal dog protecting its master, and asked seriously: Who are you?

Ye Li's older brother paused for a moment, looked at the person in front of him, and said uncertainly:

"I am Ye Chonghuan, may I ask if you are a general? I am Ye Li's elder brother."

When Ye Li heard him say that he was her older brother, she understood immediately. Sure enough, this was the original owner's older brother.

Mo Chen exclaimed even louder and more exaggeratedly, "Ah! So it's my wife's brother!"

He suddenly became nervous:

"I don't have any gift for our first meeting, so please take this!"

These past two days, Mo Chen has been learning from the elders who give gifts to everyone they meet. So now he's doing it in a similar way, imitating the Emperor Emeritus's practice of giving gifts to strangers as soon as they meet.

What's laughable is that the so-called gift he presented was a sugar figurine they had just bought on the street, depicting a little rabbit, which he had insisted on buying himself.

At this moment, he gave the little rabbit to Ye Li's brother as a gift, without feeling that it was stingy. He was quite reluctant to part with it, but he was also determined to give it away. After giving it away, he even secretly hoped that his brother-in-law would accept it.

This is the first time Ye Chonghuan, the elder brother, has come into contact with a person like a general, and he expects that it might not be easy for them to get along.

Because his younger sister was disabled and just an ordinary person, he was afraid that her life would be difficult if she married into a high-ranking family. However, he never expected that the general would be so approachable and would even give him gifts!

Ye Chonghuan was stunned by his amazing move.

He had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet his sister's husband, but he never expected that his meeting with the general would be like this.

A rabbit... a sugar figurine?

He hesitated and said, "General, you're being too kind."

Si Yi stepped forward promptly:

"The general is injured and has not been feeling well lately. Why don't we go back to the general's residence together and talk about it there?"

Only then did the older brother suddenly remember that his belongings had fallen on the ground, so he quickly ran back to pick them up and look at them, muttering to himself:

"Yes, yes, I was being presumptuous. I just saw my little sister and got nervous, afraid of missing her..."

He hurriedly picked up the things on the ground, explaining as he went.

Ye Li saw some of the tools used for making sugar paintings and felt a sense of familiarity.

She went over and helped pick up all the scattered items and put them on the basket under the carrying pole.

Her brother quickly and politely told her to rest: "You don't need to do these things."

He took her hand, pulled Ye Li to Mo Chen's side, and then personally placed his hand in Mo Chen's hand, saying, "From now on, you will follow the general and enjoy a good life."

He then turned around and went back to pack his things, which deeply moved Ye Li.

No matter why she came into this world, she will always remember the kindness of her brother in protecting her, and she will definitely repay him when she has the chance.

After packing everything up, the older brother said frankly:

"Brother-in-law, which way do we go now?"

???

Brother-in-law?

So you're just admitting it like that?!

Ye Li was completely shocked when she heard her brother openly acknowledge this brother-in-law. It just came out of his mouth so naturally!

I'm not used to it yet...

The group followed Si Yi and walked straight to the entrance of the General's Mansion.

Looking at the gate of the general's mansion, the older brother suddenly rubbed his patched clothes with his hand and timidly asked Mo Chen:

"Brother-in-law, should I change my clothes before going in... I'm dressed too shabbily..."

"I'm embarrassed," my brother said.

Ye Li looked at the patches on her brother's clothes and suddenly remembered that their family was indeed not very wealthy.

However, she has always enjoyed the best resources in the family, and her food, clothing, and daily necessities have never been skimped on.

My brother was wearing patched clothes, while I was wearing something that, though not silk or satin, was a comfortable and skin-friendly material.

A wave of guilt washed over her, and she went forward to take her brother's arm, giving him a sweet smile.

Ye Chonghuan was a little stunned when he saw Ye Li like this, and then she led him into the general's mansion.

Ye Li thought to herself, now that she had come to this world and taken over this body, she had to fulfill her duty as a younger sister.

Properly supporting her brother and taking care of her parents can be considered as fulfilling the original owner's wish.

Zi Mo led Ye Chonghuan to the VIP seat and personally poured him a cup of hot tea. Ever since Mo Chen was injured and found them, they had moved from the shadows to the light, handling Mo Chen's interpersonal relationships.

Zi Mo clearly and logically explained the emperor's bestowal of marriage, Ye Li's status in the household, and the changes she underwent after entering the household.

The household's finances and most of its cash are now in Madam Ye Li's hands. She also explained why she hasn't returned home yet, as the general is poisoned and unable to return.

After hearing this, the older brother said worriedly that the family was very worried after they got separated, and their mother even fell ill and is still in bed.

“We are just ordinary people and have no way to enter the general’s mansion. Now that I see my sister living in such a big mansion, I can talk to my mother and put her mind at ease. But when will my brother-in-law be able to get the antidote?”

The older brother's words touched everyone's hearts, and everyone hoped that Mo Chen would get better soon.

But the key to this poison was hard to find, and Ye Li didn't want to upset her brother, so she held his hand and carefully wrote, "Don't worry."

The original owner used to interact with her brother using sign language, but now she sometimes writes and sometimes uses lip reading with Mo Chen. Afraid that her brother wouldn't be used to it, she asks Mo Chen to translate for her.

Mo Chen obediently told his brother, "My wife said you shouldn't worry."

The older brother's brow remained furrowed, but he didn't want to cause trouble for his younger sister.

He nodded, then grasped Ye Li's wrist again and said:

"You're my only sister. I'm at ease as long as you're happy. If you ever feel uncomfortable or lonely here because it's too big, you can always come home."

There will always be a room reserved for you at home, so you can go back anytime.

The older brother paused, then rummaged through his pockets and finally found a bag of money.

This purse looks like it's been used for many years; the color has worn down to a dull hue, and the edges are frayed.

He gave all the money in the purse to Ye Li, and then said:

"This is a small token of my brother's appreciation."

The older brother instructed:

"Noblewomen prefer a fuller figure. You are too thin. You will be at a disadvantage when you go to the palace for banquets."

"You're too thin right now. Start eating more from now on. If you gain a little weight each time, you won't be laughed at anymore, okay?"

Ye Li knew he meant well, but Mo Chen had already given her a lot of money.

She also owns her own restaurant; she's not short of money.

As for gaining weight, let's not even talk about how fat people were in their past lives, and they weren't exactly popular.

I've been transported to this world, and I still have to get fat to fit the aesthetic standards?

I am so hard...

Mo Chen heeded his elder brother's instructions with utmost care:

"Okay, brother, I'll make sure my wife has enough to eat."

The elder brother said again:

"Yes, let's have another chubby little boy later."

Ye Li: ...
