Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Chapter 20: Petitioning the Emperor for a Marriage

A few days later, Su Lianxue was so bored that she couldn't help but say, "General, I'm so bored, please let me go out for a walk."

Chu Mohan stared intently at Su Lianxue and said without hesitation, "No!"

Helpless, Su Lianxue could only gently shake Chu Mohan's hand and say in a coquettish tone, "I don't care, I want to go out for a walk. I'm getting so suffocated staying in this room every day."

Su Lianxue then added, "Look, my fever is gone, and the military doctor said that some exercise is good for my health."

Chu Mohan looked at Su Lianxue with doting eyes and said helplessly, "Alright, I'll accompany you for a walk around the manor, but don't even think about leaving."

Su Lianxue pouted. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she knew that Chu Mohan was doing it for her own good, so she could only nod. After all, walking around the mansion was much better than staying in her room all the time.

......

The two walked slowly. In fact, Su Lianxue had never properly explored the General's Mansion before.

As they walked, Su Lianxue frowned slightly, looked at Chu Mohan, and said softly, "General, that day you declared in front of the third-ranked scholar that I was your fiancée. Won't this cause you trouble? After all, you are also the emperor's son, with a special status."

Chu Mohan remained calm and replied indifferently, "No."

Su Lianxue glanced at him sideways and said nothing more.

After a while, Su Lianxue looked worried and said, "I am a fugitive. If I return to the capital, I will definitely be recognized, and they will make a big fuss about it."

Chu Mohan stopped and gently adjusted the cloak on Su Lianxue's chest, saying, "Don't worry, I've got everything covered."

Then he added, "Wait a little longer, and I will take you back to the capital. I have already submitted a petition requesting an imperial decree to grant us marriage."

"Ah..." This sudden remark made Su Lianxue's eyes widen in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

Chu Mohan asked, "What, don't you want to marry me?"

Su Lianxue rolled her eyes at Chu Mohan and said, "Iron-blooded General, who wouldn't want to marry him? But I'll need a reasonable explanation when I go back in the future."

At the same time, Su Lianxue, full of curiosity, asked, "How did you request the imperial decree?"

Chu Mohan slowly said, "I grew up on the border and don't have much education. In a battle with the barbarians, I was almost killed by a hidden arrow. Fortunately, a beautiful woman saved me. She even took an arrow for me and almost lost her life. How could I not marry her?"

Su Lianxue said, "General, you really think of me. But will the Emperor agree to grant us this marriage?"

Chu Mohan explained, "I have military power. If I were to ask to marry someone with a powerful family background, the emperor would be afraid."

Su Lianxue added worriedly, "But after all, I am the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and there were people in my household before, including the third-ranked scholar."

Chu Mohan comforted her, saying, "Once we arrive in the capital, you will be my wife. So what if they recognize you?" He had plenty of ways to deal with those people.

Su Lianxue leaned against Chu Mohan's chest and whispered, "General, thank you for everything you've done for me."

The snow was falling heavier. Su Lianxue reached out and caught a snowflake, watching it slowly melt in her palm, a slight smile playing on her lips. Chu Mohan reached out and cupped her hands in his: "Naughty girl, be careful not to catch a cold."

Su Lianxue smiled, her eyes crinkling. This life was finally different from the past.

......

With Miss Su present, the atmosphere in the mansion was quite different.

"I knew it! The General and Miss Su have completely different auras when they stand together; they exude love from head to toe," a servant responsible for sweeping remarked.

“Yes, our general has risked his life for the Great Chu Kingdom, and he deserves to have someone like Miss Su by his side to accompany and take care of him.” Another servant who looked like a gardener chimed in.

“From now on, this mansion will surely be filled with laughter and joy. Miss Su is so kind, we will be even more motivated to do our work,” a maid said happily.

"Yes, yes, with Miss Su around, the general has a lot more smiles on his face. Seeing them so happy warms our hearts too." The old woman next to her nodded repeatedly.

"Who knows, it won't be long before there's a great celebration in our household," a servant said with a mischievous grin.

"Haha, that's great! We must make the mansion even tidier and more beautiful to welcome the arrival of this joyous occasion."

Everyone laughed, filled with anticipation for the future.

......

Seeing all this, Zhang Mama was overjoyed. It turned out that the mansion was always very quiet when Miss Su was not around.

Everyone was filled with awe and trepidation in the presence of the general. It had been a long time since I had witnessed such a heartwarming scene in the mansion.

Looking at the General and Miss Su, Zhang Mama's eyes were filled with relief and emotion.

She sighed softly, her thoughts drifting back to the past.

Zhang Mama has been in this household for many years and has watched the general grow up.

The general lost his mother at a young age and was placed in Mofang City. As he grew older, he devoted himself to the battlefield, risking his life for the country and its people.

Every time the general was away, Granny Zhang's heart would clench with worry, and she would pray for him day and night, hoping that he would return safely.

The general on the battlefield was brave and fearless, fighting as if his life depended on it. His ruthlessness terrified the enemy, but it also made Zhang Mama feel sorry for him.

Every time the general returned to the mansion, Granny Zhang was always the first to greet him. Seeing the general's tired face and the wounds on his body, her eyes would inevitably redden.

She would personally prepare meals for the general and take meticulous care of his daily life, hoping that the general could recover as soon as possible.

Now, seeing the general's gentle smile beside Miss Su, Zhang Mama finally felt relieved.

She knew that the general had finally found someone he could let go of his weariness and rely on with peace of mind.

......

After spending a few days in sweet intimacy with Su Lianxue, Chu Mohan decided to head to the military camp again.

Su Lianxue said softly, "General, please be careful."

Chu Mohan replied, "Yes, I will. You don't need to worry too much about business matters. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, be sure to let me know."

Then, he specifically instructed, "Also, stay away from that Ye Chenshang."

The thought of Su Lianxue praising this person last time made him feel inexplicably jealous, and that uncomfortable feeling still lingered.

He was really worried about Su Lianxue getting too close to that Ye Chenshang. After all, Su Lianxue was the person he cherished most, and he couldn't tolerate anyone else coveting her.

Su Lianxue smiled helplessly: "I know. In my heart, no one can compare to the General."

After thinking for a moment, she added with concern, "General, you must be careful of attacks from the Canglang Kingdom. They are extremely treacherous and cunning." At the same time, she gave Ling Lin some medicine that had been wrapped up for treating wounds.
