Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

“Let’s make a deal.” Lu Wanning had barely finished speaking when…

Ye Li drew an X on the table, then, thinking that the girl might not understand it, she wrote: "Don't do it."

It was this resolute attitude and swift statement that amused Si Yi, who coldly sneered from the side:

“Our general’s wife disdains to do business with you. You can leave now.”

Lu Wanning was unwilling to give up. She glared at Ye Li and said, "I haven't even said what kind of deal I want to make yet. Why did you refuse so quickly? You won't even do it for the sake of the general? Or is it that you don't care about the general at all, and you're only after your status as the general's wife?"

Si Yi watched with interest as Ye Li revealed her true nature in a fit of anger, wondering how this lady would deal with the unreasonable Lu Wanning.

Ye Li wrote on the table:

"Goading won't work; you're not trustworthy."

With a single sentence, she was excluded, leaving no room for negotiation.

At this moment, Si Yi couldn't hold back any longer and bent over, bursting into laughter, completely disregarding her image, "Hahahahahaha..."

Previously, in Si Yi's mind, the general's wife might have some talent, but after all, she came from a humble family and had never experienced the power struggles and verbal battles among women in the inner quarters. He was originally a little worried, but he did not expect that even the general's wife's personality was so to his liking.

Although the general has lost his mind and become foolish, this lady is indeed very suitable for him. She is decisive and efficient, and I expect that the general will be satisfied after he recovers.

Lu Wanning was now at a loss.

She originally wanted to negotiate with Ye Li, using this as a condition to allow her to enter the General's Mansion smoothly, but she didn't expect Ye Li to be so unyielding.

Lu Wanning was extremely unwilling. She then set her sights on Mo Chen: "General! The General doesn't care about your life or death at all, nor does she care about your feelings. Such a person doesn't love you at all, nor does she care about you."

Mo Chen was getting increasingly impatient with her incessant chatter. He angrily warned, "Hmph, don't talk nonsense here. Whether my wife cares about me or not, as long as I care about her, that's enough. If my wife says she doesn't believe you, I won't believe you either!"

Lu Wanning looked at Mo Chen in disbelief: "General, how could you treat me like this? You weren't like this before!!"

However, the straight-laced and amnesiac Mo Chen ignored her. He turned to look at Ye Li, with an attitude that said, "I'm very good, you should praise me." Ye Li couldn't help but laugh.

This left Lu Wanning completely helpless, and she had no choice but to tell the truth dejectedly:

"Although His Majesty wants to hold a martial arts arena, the order in which people draw lots and which people are drawn can still be manipulated. I can find a way to prevent the general from being drawn, so that he will not have to fight."

Ye Li thought to herself: So it's a martial arts competition by drawing lots.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If everyone could go up whenever they wanted, without any time limit, wouldn't the scene be chaotic? Drawing lots is indeed a fairer and more harmonious way.

Ye Li thought this was a viable option, but she didn't want to make a deal with her.

Ye Li waved her hand: "Even if it wasn't you, anyone else could have done it."

To everyone's surprise, Lu Wanning sneered and said, "General's wife, do you think too highly of yourself, or do you underestimate the guards of the palace?"

Since His Majesty has already decided to make things difficult for the General, how could he easily allow the General's people to enter the palace? How could you possibly pull off this switcheroo without entering the palace?

After speaking, Lu Wanning turned to Mo Chen and said, "General, believe me, I truly want to help you. Even if you don't need it, I will definitely change the draw for you and prevent you from getting injured on the field."

Wan Ning came uninvited not to repay a debt of gratitude, but simply because she missed the General and wanted to see him…

If Ye Li could speak now, she would expose this guy on the spot. She said he wouldn't repay kindness, but if he truly wanted to make a silent contribution, why did he come? He's clearly doing it so others won't know. He said he just wanted to see Mo Chen, but why didn't he come earlier or later? He was injured, and this timing is suspicious…”

Ye Li hadn't thought much of it at first, but after meeting the Emperor Emeritus, she realized that he seemed to value and appreciate Mo Chen quite a bit. Given Mo Chen's current state, it was impossible that the palace hadn't sent someone to monitor him.

Therefore, Lu Wanning's overtures at this moment are quite intriguing.

Whose side is she on? Or is she nobody, and just happened to be there?

Ye Li was undecided for a moment, but Si Yi spoke up from the side:

"What others can't do, I can. You've finished speaking, you can leave now."

"Brother Siyi, is this how you treat me? We grew up together since we were little, why do you help her but not me?" Lu Wanning seemed too lazy to pretend anymore and asked Siyi directly.

Si Yi coldly replied, "Isn't that a question for you to ask yourself? You know what you've done."

Si Yi walked towards her: "What exactly happened to Fu Zeshan's death?!"

Lu Wanning froze, her eyes darting around: "What are you talking about? I don't know..."

"Since you don't know, you can leave. Everything has been said." Si Yi gave him the order to leave.

Lu Wanning looked at Siyi and felt a chill in her heart. This time, she silently shed tears again, unable to say a word, but no one present sympathized with her.

"Since none of you believe me, then you should at least believe in Blood Spirit Grass..." After a long silence, she dropped a bombshell.

Upon hearing about the Blood Spirit Grass, Ye Li perked up. Sure enough, besides the one and only one in the world, there were other ways to obtain it. So she gestured to Mo Chen to ask her where it was.

Mo Chen perfectly understood her lip movements, and then asked emotionlessly, "Where is the Blood Spirit Grass?"

Lu Wanning said, "General, if you grant me one request, I will tell you where Ye Lingcao is."

Mo Chen looked at his wife before asking, word by word, "What are your requirements?"

Lu Wanning paused for a moment, but then seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Mo Chen with a blush on her face and said, "If you marry me, General, I will tell you where the Blood Spirit Grass is."

Mo Chen flatly refused: "Impossible, give up."

Lu Wanning asked incredulously, "Why?! Why don't you want to marry me, General? Wanning was merely jilted; I haven't done anything improper, and I am still a virgin!"

Ye Li thought to herself: Hey, don't confuse the concepts. In ancient times, wasn't breaking off an engagement a serious stain on one's reputation?

Although Ye Li, being a modern person, wouldn't mind, she still wanted to hear Mo Chen's answer. Would he mind? Or was there another reason why he didn't want to marry her?

Mo Chen said, "I will only marry my wife. I don't want anyone else, no matter who they are!"

Mo Chen declared firmly, "She's the only one I want in this lifetime!"

The loud sound echoed in the room, making Ye Li's heart race, and she didn't dare to look at Mo Chen.

My kid's been confessing his feelings all day long, what am I going to do...?

Lu Wanning was unwilling to accept it: "General! Why?! She's just a mute, and just an ordinary woman, thin, weak, and disabled. She can't even speak. Why would you choose her over me?!"

Mo Chen interrupted her decisively: "You are not allowed to speak ill of my wife!"

His voice suddenly rose, as if to drown out Lu Wanning's stern questioning, "I only like her in the whole world, just because she is her. Even if she is very beautiful, I like her; even if she is very ugly, I like her; even if she is skinny and wiry, I like her!"

Ye Li had three questions lingering in her mind.

Your first sentence was quite pleasant, but what the hell was that? What do you mean by "I'd still like you even if you're ugly and skinny"?

It's because the people here are all too fat! And their aesthetic preferences all favor chubby women.

My body is now perfectly proportioned, with a prominent bust and buttocks, everything in the right place is there, and it's big in the right place. Don't you know how to appreciate that? Don't you have any sense of aesthetics at all?

What do I do if I transmigrate and gain a curvaceous hourglass figure like a celebrity, but the other world's aesthetic prefers overweight women?!

Urgent, waiting online!

Ye Li hated that she didn't have a phone, otherwise she would have unleashed a barrage of emojis to express her anger.

Lu Wanning was so devastated by Mo Chen's attack that she frantically pressed him for an answer: "General, don't forget our engagement! It was arranged by the old general. He thought I was the right person to be your wife. Don't you listen to the old general anymore?"

"It was the old general who made you marry me!" Lu Wanning clung tightly to the promise she had made back then, as if grasping at a lifeline.

Si Yi couldn't help but complain at this point: "Don't say things like that now. Back then, the old general passed away, and the young general's fate was unknown on the battlefield. But what did you do? Your Lu family simply broke off the engagement and turned around to arrange a marriage between you and the Minister..."

Mo Chen looked down at her expressionlessly and said decisively, "Father has already passed away. You can go down and ask my father whether I still want to marry you."
