Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Chu Mohan said, "Let's have dinner here. I'll have someone bring the food over."

Su Lianxue replied, "General, there are still strategists outside. Won't you go and keep them company?"

Chu Mohan thought to himself, what's the point of keeping a bunch of grown men company? Nothing beats spending time with my future wife. So he said, "It's alright. These strategists meet often. Besides, they've already talked for quite a while today. Those who need to go home will go home, and those who need to go back to their residences to rest will go back to their residences."

Since that was the case, Su Lianxue, who had longed to spend time with the general, naturally agreed with great joy. Looking at Chu Mohan with concern, Su Lianxue said, "General, have you been very busy lately because of me?"

Chu Mohan replied, "It's nothing, there's nothing tiring about it. It's just that the eldest prince kidnapped you, perhaps for some other purpose."

After a moment's thought, he added, "It's possible that the King of Canglang Kingdom is experiencing health problems. I've recently instructed my men to inquire about the situation more urgently."

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue couldn't help but recall her past life. She hadn't suspected anything before, but Chu Mohan's words reminded her of something. In her past life, the Wolf King died of illness, but at the time, she was immersed in grief and hadn't investigated the cause of his death.

But how could she explain this to Chu Mohan now? So she could only lie and say, "When the eldest prince tied me up, he asked me if I knew any medicine and how good my medicine was."

She paused briefly before continuing, "When I was kidnapped, I felt that the focus wasn't so much on me being your fiancée, but more on the fact that I knew medicine."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mohan said, "Stop overthinking. I will handle this matter myself. You really scared me that day."

After saying that, he looked at Su Lianxue affectionately: "Lianxue, you can't do that again, or I'll have to punish you."

Su Lianxue said in a coquettish tone, "Yes, I will definitely be careful and will never dare to do anything reckless again."

After thinking for a moment, Su Lianxue still wanted to remind the general: "But General, that Wolf King is so old, he might really be sick. Otherwise, why would he go to so much trouble to find a doctor?"

Chu Mohan had already had questions about this, but he didn't want Su Lianxue to be too tired, so he said, "Leave this to your man to worry about. You just think about how to have fun with those women."

......

Wang Jingnian had been busy these past two days, but fortunately, things were handled reasonably well, and he had given his report to the general. So, that evening, he returned to his residence.

Seeing this, Aunt Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to serve him, saying softly, "Master, you've worked hard these past few days."

As she spoke, she gently massaged his head, trying to alleviate his fatigue from the past few days.

The reason Wang Jingnian doted on Aunt Qiu so much was precisely because she was truly skilled at serving others. In contrast, Yunniang only knew how to do the chores of a maid and was far less attentive and considerate than Aunt Qiu. Otherwise, Wang Jingnian wouldn't have entrusted so many affairs to Aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu said softly, "Master, Wan'er and I visited Miss Su the other day."

Wang Jingnian, somewhat dazed from being served, asked in confusion, "Which Miss Su is it? Why would you go to such lengths to visit her?"

Aunt Qiu quickly replied, "It is Miss Su, the general's fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingnian was startled and immediately sat up, saying seriously, "How could you go to visit her? The General values ​​her so much, you must not say anything carelessly. If you anger her, it will be terrible."

Aunt Qiu quickly replied, "Master, please don't be in such a hurry. Don't you know me?"

Wang Jingnian said seriously, "It's still best to be careful."

Aunt Qiu continued, "Don't worry, sir. It's just that Miss Su is extremely beautiful and very kind."

Wang Jingnian frowned and said, "Don't talk about Miss in front of outsiders."

"I know, I was just saying it in front of you. And sir, now that the general has a wife, does he have any thoughts about taking a concubine?" Aunt Qiu said cautiously after glancing at Wang Jingnian's expression.

Wang Jingnian couldn't help but get angry and said, "You dare to meddle in the general's affairs? You are really audacious!"

Aunt Qiu hurriedly explained, "Master, please don't misunderstand. It's just that Wan'er is growing up day by day, and it's time for her to find someone. Wan'er has also told me that she has feelings for the General. I've thought about it, and I think this would also be beneficial for you, Master. So, could you perhaps mention it to the General?" Then, Aunt Qiu explained the benefits to Wang Jingnian in detail.

After listening to Aunt Qiu's words, Wang Jingnian fell into deep thought. He secretly pondered that although the Third Prince was good, he was far away in the capital and surrounded by many people. On the other hand, the General was right beside him. Having been in Mofang City for so many years, the General had always been extremely fair in his dealings, and anyone with ability could be given an important position.

If Wan'er could achieve a good outcome with the general, it might indeed be a good path for her.

Aunt Qiu looked at Wang Jingnian in silence, her heart filled with unease. She knew that mentioning the general taking a concubine was somewhat risky, but for the sake of her daughter Wan'er's future, she had to take the risk.

She thought that as Wan'er grew up, if she could marry the general, it would be like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

If she could go to the capital with him in the future, her position would be even more secure.

She observed Wang Jingnian's expression, trying to decipher his thoughts, hoping he would agree to her proposal. She also thought of the general's fiancée, Miss Su, who was so beautiful and gentle. If Wan'er could enter the general's mansion, perhaps she could also get along well with Miss Su.

But she was also worried that Wang Jingnian would be angry, since the general's affairs were not something they could interfere with at will. However, she was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so she could only wait cautiously for Wang Jingnian's response.

Wang Jingnian remained lost in thought and did not respond to her, because he also did not know what the best course of action was and needed to think it over carefully.

......

"General, after tracking and investigating, I have finally found Qiu San. He recently made a fortune, so I found him at the casino. It can be confirmed that he is the one who lied to Miss Xiang about having a pregnant woman at home," Changfeng reported to General Chu Mohan.

A cold glint flashed in Chu Mohan's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "This person is truly audacious, daring to collude with foreign enemies. He's simply courting death."

Seeing the general's angry expression, Changfeng was also burning with rage. He then said fiercely, "General, let me take some men to give him a good welcome. We will make him pay a heavy price for what he has done."
