Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Aunt Qiu gazed quietly at her daughter, her eyes revealing complex emotions. Her daughter, whenever the topic shifted to something that interested her, would immediately change her mood, as if she were a completely different person.

This is undoubtedly one of her greatest strengths; no matter how deep her grief was, she always managed to pull herself out of it without even realizing it.

Wang Wan'er's eyes sparkled with anticipation. She suddenly raised her head and eagerly asked Aunt Qiu, "Mother, when will we invite Miss Su to our residence?"

After all, Miss Su always thinks of her when there's something good.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiu hesitated. She knew she was not the legal wife, and she was unsure whether it was proper to invite Miss Su so rashly.

Aunt Qiu dared not make a decision on her own. After some thought, she believed that she must first ask for the master's opinion and obtain his approval before taking any action.

So, Aunt Qiu looked at Wang Wan'er gently and said softly, "There's no need to rush this matter. Let's make a decision after we've asked your father."

Hearing her mother's words, Wang Wan'er felt that her mother was being overly cautious. Just today, everyone was enthusiastically discussing inviting Miss Su to visit, and she had happily agreed at the time.

However, since her mother had already said so, she could only follow her mother's arrangements. The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer, and Wang Wan'er gradually felt sleepy.

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, as if pulled by an invisible force. So she said goodnight to her mother and, with Xiaoqing's careful care, slowly went to bed to rest.

......

Night deepened. A profound silence enveloped the surroundings, as if the entire world were immersed in the thick darkness. Tonight, Master must have gone elsewhere. Aunt Qiu sat quietly in her room, lost in thought. She sighed softly, a faint melancholy welling up within her.

Lately, Aunt Qiu has become very cautious because of the master's suppression of her. She still feels lingering fear when she recalls what happened last time.

At that time, she almost fell into an abyss of no return. From then on, she was extremely careful in everything she did, daring not to make the slightest mistake. After all, if she really did something wrong and harmed the master, then this family would be gone, and she would have no one to rely on.

However, her daughter and Miss Su were getting along quite well now. Thinking of this, Aunt Qiu felt a slight sense of relief.

Looking at her daughter's happy face, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope. She thought that perhaps the master wouldn't neglect her too much. With the bond between her daughter and Miss Su, the master wouldn't be too cold towards her.

After thinking about it, she went to sleep. Anyway, Wan'er was her only daughter here, which was much better than the one from the capital.

......

Chu Mohan gently placed Su Lianxue down, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world, afraid that he would break her if he used the slightest force.

His gaze, like a deep lake, was fixed on her stunningly beautiful face, and for a moment, he found himself lost in thought.

There were still traces of tears on her face. Why was she crying? He wondered to himself, she must be missing her grandfather.

Recalling the past she had mentioned, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken that he hadn't met her sooner. If he had, he would have definitely protected her better.

In this world, perhaps only her maternal grandfather was the most important person to her. Her affection and longing for him were like vines deeply rooted in her heart, impossible to sever.

To put her mind at ease, he sent people to look for her maternal grandfather early on, but after searching for so long, they still had no news.

A wave of helplessness and anxiety washed over him, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply. That sigh was filled with heartache and worry for her.

Then, he slowly reached out and gently tucked the blanket around her, his movements extremely tender, afraid that she would catch a cold.

After doing all this, he gently stood up and left the room with light steps. Outside the room, he gestured for the servants to be quiet. She didn't sleep well, and he would be heartbroken if any noise woke her up.

.....

Back in his study, Changfeng stepped forward with a solemn expression and reported, "General, important news has arrived from the capital."

Having said that, he respectfully handed the note he was clutching tightly to the general. The secret that they had people close to the general in the capital was known only to a handful of people; those like Zhang Fu were completely unaware of the mystery.

Chu Mohan nodded slightly, reached out and took the slip of paper, slowly unfolding it. His gaze was focused on the words on the paper, his expression serious and earnest.

Before long, Changfeng saw a look of joy gradually appear on the general's cold and stern face.

His joy was like a flower blooming in spring, which made the general look gentler. Changfeng rarely saw a general like this.

Changfeng took the note from the general and examined it carefully with curiosity and anticipation. Then, a bright smile instantly spread across his face, and he exclaimed joyfully, "Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General!" His voice was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Just then, Ling Lin walked in. He frowned slightly and looked at Chang Feng with a puzzled expression: "What makes you so happy?"

Changfeng quickly recounted the contents of the note in detail: "Our people in the capital have sent word that the Emperor has already agreed to the General's marriage proposal."

"Moreover, the emperor specially dispatched his chief eunuch, Eunuch Lu, to personally deliver the imperial edict. This is truly wonderful news!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Lin was also thrilled. His eyes shone with joy, and he quickly congratulated the general.

"General, this imperial edict will take some time to arrive. General, what preparations should we make now?" Ling Lin said, since they were using carrier pigeons to deliver messages, which would be much faster.

At this moment, the general's joy was as bright as the sunshine, impossible to hide.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and slowly said, "Don't reveal this news to anyone yet. After all, only a few of us know about our connections in the capital. This matter is of great importance, and we must not be negligent in the slightest." Changfeng and Linglin hurriedly nodded solemnly in agreement.

Chu Mohan narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The wedding must be held in the capital, so we need to prepare a grand gift for the emperor so that we can stay in the capital."

He couldn't help but think to himself: the Wolf King's illness was indeed excellent news. He could make good use of this opportunity to plan his return to the capital. His eyes gleamed with excitement.
