Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Shangguan Yu's face flushed red with anger at Chu Mohan's words, his chest heaving violently. He truly hadn't expected Chu Mohan to be so merciless in his sarcasm.

However, he wanted to build a good relationship with Chu Mohan, but he had to suppress his anger in the face of Chu Mohan's sarcasm.

Shangguan Yu took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone steady, and said, "General, you seem to have misunderstood. I am here on orders from the imperial court. There is no need for you to be so aggressive. We are all serving the court, and we should respect each other."

Chu Mohan remained unmoved, his expression still cold and stern, and he replied domineeringly, "This is just how I am! No one can change me."

Chu Mohan: "Don't be so naive as to think that sending a woman to marry a foreign ruler will stop the greedy Canglang Kingdom from invading. That idea is simply wishful thinking! Those scoundrels of Canglang Kingdom have long coveted the fertile lands of our Great Chu Kingdom."

Chu Mohan: "How could you sacrifice a weak woman? It's truly shameful. The valiant men of my Great Chu are still here, and we would never be ashamed to exchange a woman for peace!"

This general has important matters to attend to; please return, Scholar.

Shangguan Yu had hoped to get to know Chu Mohan, but he didn't expect to be treated like this, so he had no choice but to leave.

The deputy general Ling Lin thought to himself, "What's wrong with the general? He used to be all smiles and laughter when he met people from the capital. Why is he confronting them so directly this time?"

......

After Chu Mohan left the room.

Su Lianxue said, "Xiaomei, go and see what brings the third-ranked scholar here."

Xiaomei replied, "Okay."

After the third-ranking scholar left, Xiaomei told her mistress what had happened in the front hall.

Su Lianxue was deeply moved and murmured to herself, "General, you are so good to me."

......

General Chu Mohan's reputation as an iron-blooded general was legendary in the capital. Everyone knew of his bravery and skill in battle, and his fame spread far and wide. As a result, many people longed to establish a relationship with him in order to seek various benefits.

Shangguan Yu had come to Mofang City, knowing it was a rare opportunity. In his view, befriending Chu Mohan would be extremely beneficial.

However, the flattery and obsequious tactics that Shangguan Yu usually used in the capital had no effect on Chu Mohan.

Because of Su Lianxue's situation, Chu Mohan harbored deep hatred for Shangguan Yu. Therefore, he showed utter disdain for Shangguan Yu's deliberate attempts to curry favor.

Back at his residence, Shangguan Yu was furious and extremely resentful. He suddenly swung his hand and smashed the teacup on the table onto the ground.

The teacup shattered instantly, shards of porcelain flying everywhere. "That Chu Mohan, he's utterly vulgar!" Shangguan Yu cursed through gritted teeth.

After this experience, Shangguan Yu completely gave up on the idea of ​​currying favor with Chu Mohan.

He had originally planned to cultivate a relationship with Chu Mohan in this desert city in order to benefit himself, but now it seems that Chu Mohan is completely unyielding and difficult to approach.

Since that's the case, why should he bother trying to please someone who dislikes him so much? He needs to think of another way.

......

Chu Mohan had just finished dealing with some military affairs, and a trace of fatigue still lingered between his brows. Thinking of Su Lianxue, he walked steadily towards where she was.

Upon entering the room, I saw Su Lianxue sitting by the window, lost in thought.

She slightly furrowed her brows, a faint sadness in her eyes, and her fair face looked exceptionally beautiful in the sunlight.

Chu Mohan walked gently to her side. Su Lianxue came back to her senses and smiled at him. Her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, instantly dispelling the gloom on her face.

Chu Mohan frowned slightly and spoke first: "This third-ranked scholar is truly no good. He's scheming in every way, and utterly despicable." His tone was full of dissatisfaction with the scholar.

Su Lianxue bit her lower lip and replied with a look of disdain, "This person is a master of flattery, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. He has no knowledge whatsoever, yet he's incredibly good at putting on airs. Now that I think about it, I was so stupid to let someone like him steal my exam questions. I wish I could slap myself a few times." Her eyes were full of regret, her eyes were slightly red, and her slender fingers were tightly twisting the hem of her clothes.

Chu Mohan's lips curled slightly, and he added, "But he's certainly good-looking." There was a hint of sourness in his voice as he spoke. He looked at Su Lianxue, seemingly waiting for her response.

Su Lianxue was utterly speechless, inwardly lamenting how foolish she had been in her past life to be deceived by such a person.

Chu Mohan reached out and took Su Lianxue's hand, offering her strength and support. "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let those despicable people succeed." His voice was steady and powerful, making Su Lianxue feel incredibly at ease.

Su Lianxue raised her head slightly and said slowly, "My health is getting better day by day. I'm thinking of going to the capital to find my grandfather in a few days."

Since her rebirth, Su Lianxue has always been preoccupied with her maternal grandfather. He is the only person Su Lianxue cares about in this world. In her previous life, she never learned any news about her grandfather until the very last moment of her life, which became an eternal pain in her heart.

Now reborn, she is determined to find her grandfather, protect him, make up for the regrets of her past life, and reclaim everything that belongs to her.

Upon hearing this, Chu Mohan unconsciously tightened his grip on Su Lianxue's arm, causing Su Lianxue to wince in pain and cry out.

Chu Mohan panicked immediately, quickly letting go of his hand, his eyes filled with guilt and heartache, and anxiously asked, "Did I hurt you?"

Su Lianxue shook her head slightly and said softly, "It's nothing."

Chu Mohan's expression remained solemn. He looked at Su Lianxue seriously and said in a deep voice, "Lianxue, you absolutely cannot go to the capital now."

If the third-ranking scholar and his men discover your whereabouts, the consequences will be unimaginable. I will arrange for reliable people to inquire about your grandfather's whereabouts.

This way it's both safe and efficient, so you can stay here with peace of mind. Your problems are my problems, and I will do everything in my power to help you reclaim everything that is rightfully yours.

His gaze was firm and ardent as he stared intently at Su Lianxue. "Trust me, okay?"

Su Lianxue understood that this was indeed the best solution at present, and she was also deeply moved by Chu Mohan's efforts.

She nodded slightly, her eyes shining with gratitude: "Thank you, General. Meeting you in this life is a blessing from heaven."

She silently felt grateful, thinking how wonderful it was to have someone like that protecting her.

Since Su Lianxue is currently living in the bedroom, Chu Mohan is living in the study.

On the way back, Chu Mohan called out to Ling Lin and whispered something in his ear.

Then Ling Lin accepted the order and left.
