Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

She had barely started talking about Lu Wanning when she arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

It's as if there's a surveillance camera installed.

Ye Li thought to herself: This luck is unbelievable.

The group decided to meet, but the council chamber contained many confidential matters, making it inconvenient to receive guests.

So the group went to the front hall to wait.

When Lu Wanning came in, Ye Li noticed that she was even fatter than the last time she saw her!

Not only has her waist become much thicker and rounder, but her face is also chubby, giving her a very prosperous appearance.

He looks several years older...

Ye Li immediately thought of her brother Ye Chonghuan, who had repeatedly told her to gain weight.

Seeing Lu Wanning now, her palms were practically sweating...

Could this be the kind of body type that Brother Chonghuan was talking about... um, the kind that won't be bullied?

Ye Li looked at her, wondering if Lu Wanning was trying to gain weight so she could enter the palace smoothly.

From the moment Lu Wanning entered, she stared intently at Mo Chen, her eyes subtly revealing her admiration.

Before Ye Li could react, she had already rushed over and knelt down in front of Mo Chen!

She knelt down and wept, tears streaming down her face.

It must be said that the beauty's tearful expression is truly captivating, as if she has rehearsed it a thousand times with practiced ease.

"General, Wan Ning has finally seen you again!"

"It's so good to see you safe and sound!"

Once Lu Wanning starts crying, she will whine and sob endlessly.

Ye Li had already experienced this when she first transmigrated.

Seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

Ye Li gave Si Yi a look.

Si Yi has now accepted the general's wife. He nodded and asked:

"Lu Wanning, stop crying, just tell me what's wrong."

Lu Wanning glanced at Siyi, her tears still flowing.

But the voice choked with sobs as it said:

"Brother Siyi, you must stop the general from entering the palace! He absolutely cannot attend the Emperor Emeritus's birthday banquet!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Li stopped daydreaming!

He stared nervously at Lu Wanning. What Lu Wanning said was true; after all, she was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital and had entanglements with so many people.

The news she brought must not be unfounded!

Si Yi also realized that things were not simple, and he asked solemnly:

"What happened? What do you know?"

Lu Wanning sobbed, wiped away her tears, and then collapsed to the ground, saying:

"While I was in the palace, I overheard the eunuchs discussing that they were building a martial arts arena so that generals from various countries could compete during the birthday banquet..."

"Although we will stop here, we must determine who is better and show our national prestige."

"The general was assassinated and injured his hand, which has not yet recovered. I am really worried if we force him to fight..."

She started crying again halfway through her story...

At this moment, Ye Li was truly in awe!

The doctor made it very clear that Mo Chen's hand was so badly injured that he would never be able to lift a sword again.

If you fight before you've fully recovered, you'll really be crippled.

In his current state, he would absolutely be utterly crushed in the arena...

Ye Li glanced at Mo Chen worriedly, but Mo Chen was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, so she had no choice but to look at Zi Mo again.

Zi Mo is the only one here who knows a little about medicine, so we need to think of a solution!

Zi Mo looked at the general's wife and shook his head heavily.

Ye Li bit her lip nervously. If a dueling platform were really set up and she were to compete against all the generals, then it would be best if the general didn't go.

But the current situation is that even if the general is unwilling, he will probably be forced to take the stage...

Si Yi then said meaningfully:

"Lu Wanning, didn't you already break off your engagement with the general?"

"And Fu Zeshan, you've got him completely under your control too."

"The emperor is interested in you, but you are showing favor to our general. Do you know what will happen to you if the emperor finds out about this?"

Li Siyi didn't believe she would be so kind as to deliver a message.

Those who abandon their families in times of trouble have no right to be trusted by the General's Mansion!

Si Yi was completely immune to her crying and said calmly:

"Or do you know everything, but you come here for another purpose?"

Lu Wanning looked at Si Yi with teary eyes, and choked up as if she were heartbroken:

"Brother Siyi, I know you hate me. You've been dissatisfied with me for a long time."

"But the annulment of the engagement was really insisted upon by my family."

"I was under house arrest at the time, I knew nothing..."

Si Yi sneered: "So you say you don't know? Even if you really don't know, the general has been injured for so long and you haven't come here."

"Moreover, as far as I know, you are doing very well in the palace now. Even the Empress Dowager praises you endlessly, and the Empress often compliments you as well."

Lu Wanning was surprised that he knew so much about her, but she had no other words to say, so she could only explain:

"Brother Siyi, no matter what you think of me, I really... had no choice in the matter..."

Then she looked at Mo Chen with a pitiful expression, her eyes filled with longing:

"Wan Ning has never changed her mind; Wan Ning's favorite person is still the General."

"Although the general is now married, I would be willing to stay by your side, even as a slave!"

Hearing this, Ye Li felt displeased.

This woman didn't come earlier or later, but she had to come at this exact moment.

It also carries a message of gratitude that is hard to refuse, yet it feels like swallowing a fly.

It's disgusting overall.

"General, please save me!" Lu Wanning cried out.

"I'm no match for anyone else in the palace!"

"I don't have the confidence to survive long in the palace either. Wan Ning really wants to be with the General! Please, General, accept Wan Ning!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Li's expression turned completely cold.

She looked at Mo Chen, who was indifferent, as if it were none of his business.

He had been watching Lu Wanning's performance quietly from the beginning, without saying a word.

Ye Li wanted to see how Mo Chen would react.

If Mo Chen intends to enjoy the blessings of having two women, hmph...

Ye Li's mind was filled with the image of a TV drama where someone tears apart a mistress.

His hands involuntarily rubbed together, eager to tear apart the scheming woman... It would be so satisfying...

Unexpectedly, Mo Chen acted completely unpredictably.

He avoided Lu Wanning as if she were a plague, took a few steps back, and came behind Ye Li.

He said to Ye Li, "My lady, this person is strange. He started crying as soon as he came in, and his words are hard to understand."

Lu Wanning watched Mo Chen avoid her, heartbroken, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

She looked at the general with teary eyes, her tone gentle:

"General! General, are you so angry with Wanning that you no longer recognize her?"

Ye Li didn't want to explain that the General had been poisoned and had turned into a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Don't even mention him not recognizing you; even I almost didn't recognize you because you've gotten so fat..."

Since Ye Li couldn't speak and no one explained, Lu Wanning naturally misunderstood.

Mo Chen said seriously:

"Yes, I don't recognize you."

"You go!"

Then Mo Chen turned around and hugged Ye Li tightly.

Mo Chen, who had lost his mind and become a henpecked husband, discovered that ever since this woman entered the house, his wife's gaze towards him had never been kind!

This woman must be the one who made my wife so unhappy!

Hearing this, Ye Li tried to hold back her laughter.

But a smile still lingered at the corners of her mouth.

There's nothing I can do about it; this slap in the face came too quickly...

Even though Lu Wanning loves to play the role of a scheming woman, her partner just won't cooperate!

Ye Li thought gleefully of the unpleasant things she had done to Mo Chen before.

Now someone can finally taste it!

Right? Mischievous kids are really hard to manage!

Especially Mo Chen from this year's cohort, he's practically the ultimate troublemaker.

The generation gap in online conversations is higher than mountains and deeper than the sea, as deep as the Mariana Trench – the kind that can leave you speechless and frustrated to the point of death, yet you are helpless to do anything about it.

Ye Li looked at the helplessness she used to feel when she couldn't communicate with Lu Wanning, and now that help was transferred to Lu Wanning.

I'm genuinely a little bit happy.

Si Yi, standing to the side, showed no restraint whatsoever.

He utterly humiliated Lu Wanning, leaving her face utterly exposed.

"Lu Wanning, do you have no shame?"

"If you really liked the general, why would you be going on dates with Fu Zeshan all over the place?"

"Think about all those love poems, all those dating locations—it couldn't all have been forced, could it? One or two instances of being forced might be one thing, but these stories accumulated over the years could fill a storybook..."

Si Yi scoffed:

"Only now are you saying you were forced into it all along, and now you love the general so much that you don't care about status or anything, you're willing to die for him?"

"How come you have backbone now, but you didn't rebel before just because you liked the general?"

Si Yi's words were utterly merciless.

Cruel man!

Ye Li discovered that Si Yi was the number one verbal master in the world of insults.

His words were so direct and frank that Lu Wanning had no way to refute them.

Then, she resorted to her classic trick and started sobbing...

Sigh, Ye Li thought: I should take back my opinion of her.

In truth, Ye Li still felt some sympathy for the women of this era.

Rather than saying they are good at scheming and maneuvering, they are good at shedding tears and showing weakness.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the times left them with no other choice.

At home, they obey their fathers; after marriage, they obey their husbands; and in old age, they obey their sons. Without any source of income, they can only cling to others like vines, relying on men's pity and affection for survival.

Ye Li sympathized with them, but disdained to associate with them.

She wrote a line of words on the table with water:

"Mo Chen will not marry you."

Of course, when asserting her sovereignty, Ye Li was not only doing so because Lu Wanning was not suitable for Mo Chen, but also because she thought of the original owner's brother and mother.

No matter what, she had to keep Mo Chen's dementia a secret, the fewer people who knew, the better.

Nothing can happen to the General's Mansion.

Therefore, we cannot allow a variable like Lu Wanning to interfere at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wanning turned out to be as cunning as a fox.

She looked at Ye Li and saw that although she was mute, her attitude was so resolute.

Then, a strange chill flashed in his lowered eyes:

"Madam General, there's no need to be so angry. How about we make a deal?"

Lu Wanning raised her eyes, her gaze filled with determination!

Ye Li: "You actually still have chips???"
