Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

On this day, Su Lianxue learned that Ye Chenshang was in Mofang City, so she instructed her servants to send him a visiting card, inviting him to a gathering at the renowned Moyanlou in the city.

After hearing about Su Lianxue's near kidnapping, Ye Chenshang had planned to visit her. However, Chu Mohan was in a bad mood at the time, and upon hearing that Ye Chenshang was coming, he didn't send anyone to inform Su Lianxue. It was only later that Zhang Mama told her about this.

Now that she knows Ye Chenshang is also in Mofang City, Su Lianxue feels she should express her gratitude to him no matter what, since the two still have business dealings.

This Moyan Tower has a story behind it. When the third-ranked scholar was still alive, he invited Zhang Fu and Prefect Wang to gather here. At that time, Su Lianxue was worried that there might be disloyal people among the general's subordinates.

Later, the general assigned Zhang Da to her, and she realized that although the Moyan Tower was nominally managed by Zhang Da, it had always been the general's property.

Upon learning this, Su Lianxue was utterly astonished. She truly hadn't expected that the best restaurant in the city was owned by the general. Looking back, after the general arrived in Mofang City, the emperor had largely ceased to interfere with him. The general's ability to govern Mofang City so effectively must stem from his unique methods.

When Su Lianxue learned that Moyan Tower was the general's property, she teased him. The general replied seriously that Zhang Da was in charge of all business matters, and if she wanted to know anything, she could just ask Zhang Da.

Su Lianxue joked, "Aren't you afraid I'll embezzle your assets?" Chu Mohan looked at her deeply and said, "What's mine is yours. You can use it or do whatever you want with it. After all, you're going to be the future general's wife."

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue's cheeks flushed instantly. She leaned gently against Chu Mohan's chest and said, "General, you're a treasure trove. You have everything."

Chu Mohan replied with a smile, "Of course, so my future wife will have to try to please me." His words made Su Lianxue laugh heartily, and she nodded repeatedly while laughing.

Su Lianxue arrived at Moyan Tower early to wait for Ye Chenshang. The interior of Moyan Tower was elegantly and exquisitely decorated. The conversations of the guests and the melodious music intertwined, creating a lively yet elegant atmosphere. This bustling scene made it hard to imagine that this was a border region.

Su Lianxue, dressed in a light blue dress, sat elegantly at the table. When she saw the dashing Ye Chenshang, she quickly got up to greet him.

Ye Chenshang also bowed to Su Lianxue and said, "Miss Su, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Su Lianxue nodded slightly and replied, "Mr. Ye, thank you for your concern. I am doing well. I invited you here today for two reasons: first, to thank you for your continued support in business, and second, to chat with you about some recent events."

After Ye Chenshang sat down, the servants immediately brought out exquisite dishes and fine wine. Ye Chenshang raised his wine glass and said, "Miss Su, you're too kind. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant. I heard you encountered some danger before, are you alright now?"

Su Lianxue smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ye. Everything is fine now. This time it was a close call, but I can only have tea instead of wine. Please forgive me, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chenshang said, "It's nothing." He then waved his hand, and the servant behind him placed the gifts on the table: "These are some very good tonics for the body, all top-grade to restore vitality. I see that Miss Su's body is still a bit weak, so please accept them."

Su Lianxue said gratefully, "Thank you, Boss Ye. I can't accept such a valuable gift."

Ye Chen said, "Miss Su, please don't be so polite. It's my honor to know someone as capable as you."

Su Lianxue thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll accept your offer. Thank you, Boss Ye." She then had the person following her accept the money.

Su Lianxue said, "Boss Ye, this is Moyanlou's signature dish, roasted lamb leg. It uses fresh lamb leg and is carefully roasted. The skin is golden and crispy, while the inside is tender and juicy. You should try it."

Ye Chenshang looked at the meat that Su Lianxue had placed on his plate, nodded slightly, and then tasted it. After a while, he said, "Just by smelling it, I can smell the rich aroma of this meat. After tasting it, I can tell it's very delicious. Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Su."

Seeing Ye Chenshang's reaction after tasting it, Su Lianxue's face immediately lit up with a smile. In that instant, Su Lianxue was as beautiful and charming as a blooming flower, her appearance simply breathtaking.

Upon seeing Su Lianxue's appearance, Ye Chenshang was instantly captivated, his entire body momentarily stunned. He seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, irresistibly drawn to Su Lianxue.

So he could only savor the food while discussing business matters and changes in Mofang City with Su Lianxue to conceal his inner turmoil.

Ye Chenshang said to Su Lianxue, "Miss Su, you have managed your clinic and other businesses in Mofang City very well, which is truly admirable."

Su Lianxue said modestly, "Mr. Ye, you flatter me. This is all thanks to everyone's support and help."

Su Lianxue continued with deep emotion, "Boss Ye, your business is so successful, that's what I should learn from you. If there's anything I don't understand in the future, I hope I can ask you for advice."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenshang responded gently, "Please ask away." After a moment's thought, he continued, "Mofang City is the general's territory, but judging from Miss Su's condition here, it doesn't seem to be very good. If Miss Su needs to recuperate, she might as well go to the capital. The conditions in the capital are relatively better, which may be more conducive to your recovery."

Su Lianxue replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ye, but my situation depends on the General's arrangements."

They chatted amiably, seemingly oblivious to the passage of time. It wasn't until the sun began to set that they realized how late it was. Ye Chenshang rose to take his leave, saying, "Miss Su, today's gathering with you has been very fruitful. I hope we'll have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

Su Lianxue also stood up and said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, I look forward to our next meeting."

After Ye Chenshang left, Su Lianxue stood by the window of Moyan Tower, gazing at Mofang City under the setting sun, her heart filled with emotion.

Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally over. This meal had kept them on edge the whole time.

Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally over. This meal had left them both feeling quite anxious.

Take Mr. Ye for example. During the meal, his eyes kept glancing at Miss Su without him noticing. Any man could tell from his gaze that there was something else going on.

As Miss Su's guards, Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen naturally had to take this matter to heart. They felt that they had to report the situation to the general as soon as possible; if they kept it a secret and the general found out, the punishment of being beaten with military rods would be unpleasant.
