Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

This young lady is incredibly lucky. A man like the general, with such superb martial arts skills, why would he need someone else to save him? Why wasn't it her who saved the general?

"Sigh." Thinking of this, Wang Wan'er couldn't help but sigh deeply, her face full of disappointment and melancholy, her eyes revealing a complex mix of envy and resentment.

......

Inside the General's Mansion, in the quiet night, Su Lianxue slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see General Chu Mohan still guarding her bedside.

At that moment, her heart was filled with emotion, surging like a tidal wave.

However, at the same time, she also felt deeply guilty about the consequences of her decision.

Su Lianxue couldn't help but wonder to herself why she was still so foolish? Why had she fallen into the enemy's trap so easily?

Recalling the scene of the enemy destroying the carriage, Xiaomei stood in front of her without regard for anything else. She didn't even dare to think about it in detail. Fortunately, Xiaomei's life was not in danger. Otherwise, she would have been tormented by guilt.

Chu Mohan noticed that Su Lianxue had opened her eyes and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Su Lianxue's voice sounded muffled as she replied, "No."

Then, she said guiltily, "General, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being so stupid."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mohan gently comforted him, "You're not that you're stupid, you're just too kind-hearted, which is why you completely disregard your own safety when someone asks for help."

"General..." Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue felt even more guilty.

"Alright, sweetie, come and eat something. You haven't eaten in so long," Chu Mohan said gently.

Su Lianxue had no appetite and buried her head in the general's arms, feeling heartbroken and full of self-blame.

Chu Mohan said helplessly, "Alright, alright, it's also Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen's fault for not protecting you well."

Su Lianxue quickly retorted, "How can you blame them? It was my own decision."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mohan snorted: "They are both experts who can fight against a hundred men single-handedly, and they have followed me through thick and thin. How could they not even see this? Therefore, they should be severely punished."

Su Lianxue stubbornly said, "You dare! Now that they're my people, I should be the one making the decisions."

Chu Mohan was too lazy to argue with her, since the punishment had already been given, so he continued to coax her, "Okay, okay, but you have to eat something first."

Chu Mohan thought to himself, "Fortunately, you are safe and sound. Otherwise, if the people of Canglang Kingdom really used you to threaten him, I really wouldn't know what to do."

He gazed at Su Lianxue, this woman who had unknowingly and slowly entered his heart. How could he possibly let go now?

......

Upon hearing the news that Su Lianxue had caused trouble again, Lin Yuexi and Ye Zhi both showed joy, eagerly anticipating that the general would punish Su Lianxue this time, hoping that the general would then see their good qualities.

However, when they learned the final outcome, Lin Yuexi and Ye Zhi's hopes were instantly dashed, their disappointment palpable. Hearing that the general had merely punished the subordinates and showed no reprimand whatsoever to Su Lianxue, the two were filled with extreme resentment.

Lin Yuexi frowned slightly, her tone full of dissatisfaction: "One of us was sent by the Empress, and the other by the Imperial Concubine. We are both so beautiful, so why does the General ignore us?"

Ye Zhi bit her lip lightly and nodded slightly, saying, "That's true. It's said that men can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, but this general seems to have a heart of stone."

Lin Yuexi sighed helplessly: "Little sister, when do you think we'll finally get through this?"

Ye Zhi sighed helplessly, "Who knows?"

Both of them couldn't help but recall when they first arrived, unwilling to be neglected, they tried to seduce the general, but failed and were instead punished with military rods. They still felt scared thinking about it now.

......

Steward Ding approached Chu Mohan and respectfully reported, "General, the Prefect's concubine, Aunt Qiu, has come with her daughter. They said they heard that Miss was frightened and came to visit her."

After listening, Chu Mohan pondered for a moment and said, "Go and inform the young lady. If she wants to see them, take them there; if she doesn't want to see them, send them away."

Chu Mohan thought to himself that Wang Jingnian's daughter was about the same age as Su Lianxue, and Su Lianxue didn't seem to have many friends since arriving here. If she could make more friends, perhaps she would go out less, which would reduce some of the danger, and he would feel more at ease.

Butler Ding replied, "Yes."

When Su Lianxue learned that someone had come to visit her, she asked Xiao Tao to bring Aunt Qiu and Wang Wan'er in.

After Aunt Qiu and Wang Wan'er bowed to Su Lianxue, they asked with concern, "Miss Su, we heard you encountered bad people. Were you injured?"

Su Lianxue returned the greeting and said, "Thank you for your concern. Fortunately, the general arrived in time, otherwise I would have been injured."

Because Wang Jingnian's legal wife was in the capital, he was accompanied by Consort Qiu. During holidays and festivals, Wang Jingnian entrusted Consort Qiu with the management of all official visits. There were also some female relatives of officials in the area, and it was more convenient for women to handle these visits.

Upon hearing that the general had come to her rescue, a hint of envy flashed in Wang Wan'er's eyes. She said softly, "The general's kindness to Miss Su is truly the mark of a gentleman. The general's extraordinary bravery is a blessing to Mofang City."

Though his words were plain, the feelings he harbored for the general were like a deep, still current, quietly surging in the most secret part of his heart, unknown to others, yet difficult to suppress.

Aunt Qiu noticed the envy in her daughter's words and quickly added, "That's good. The General truly cares for you. My Wan'er was worried about you after hearing you were frightened and insisted on coming to visit you." After speaking, she glanced at her daughter, intending to remind her to be careful with her words.

Looking at the lively and lovely Wang Wan'er in front of her, Su Lianxue didn't think much of it and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Miss Wang."

Wang Wan'er smiled shyly and said softly, "It's good that Miss Su is alright. These days, bad people are really bold. Miss Su, please be careful when you go out in the future."

Aunt Qiu also said bitterly, "Miss Su has done so many good things for Mofang City. I really don't know which bad people have such evil intentions."

Su Lianxue lowered her head slightly and said, "It's my own fault for being careless, which gave bad people an opportunity. In the future, as Miss Wang said, I need to be careful when I go out."

Aunt Qiu said, "Yes, it's always good to be careful. Miss Su, if you need any help in the future, please let us know. We would like to do our part."

Su Lianxue said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Aunt Qiu and my sister. I am very touched by your concern."

After chatting for a while, Aunt Qiu noticed that Su Lianxue looked a little tired, so she got up to say goodbye: "Miss Su, please rest well. We won't disturb you any longer. We'll visit again when we have time."

Su Lianxue stood up to see them off: "Aunt Qiu and Miss Wang, please take care."

Wang Wan'er slowly turned her head and looked at Su Lianxue again, her eyes filled with undisguised jealousy.

This Miss Su is absolutely stunning, like a fairy descended from the heavens, breathtakingly beautiful. Her exquisite features are unlike anything Wang Wan'er has ever seen; in her memory, she has never seen anyone so beautiful.
