Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

In the early morning, soft sunlight quietly streamed into the room, bathing it in a warm glow. Su Lianxue's long, feathery eyelashes trembled slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.

However, the next moment, she suddenly sat up, a movement that startled Xiaomei, who was standing nearby. Before Xiaomei could even ask, she heard her young mistress urgently ask, "Is the General still in the manor?"

Su Lianxue's thoughts were instantly pulled back to yesterday. She didn't know why, but she fell asleep on the general's back.

Hearing Xiaomei say that the general was still in the manor, she breathed a sigh of relief. The general's return this time was indeed quite sudden, which made her feel uneasy; she was afraid that the general had left early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Su Lianxue said to Xiaomei, "Help me wash and dress."

At this moment, He Qin also entered the room. Seeing that the young lady had woken up, she said, "Miss, I will go and tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

Su Lianxue ignored He Qin's words and asked anxiously, "Where is the general now?"

Seeing her mistress's anxious appearance, He Qin gently comforted her, "Miss, please have your breakfast first. As for where the general is, we can send someone to look for him. It's either the study or the training ground."

Hearing He Qin's words, Su Lianxue's previously agitated heart calmed down. Indeed, she had been far too impatient.

If the general is still in the manor, a little more time won't make a difference. Thinking of this, she nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, He Qin busied herself having breakfast brought up, and at the same time instructed someone to go find the general and see where he was.

Breakfast had just been carefully laid out, and everyone was waiting quietly. Just then, Chu Mohan walked in with steady and powerful steps.

Su Lianxue's gaze was instantly drawn to that familiar figure.

Her face immediately lit up with joy, a joy that came from the bottom of her heart. She spontaneously rose happily, her movements graceful and light, and gave Chu Mohan a graceful bow.

Seeing this, Chu Mohan quickly reached out and gently helped her up, his gentle voice as warm as a spring breeze: "I thought you should be awake by now, so I came over to have breakfast with you."

Chu Mohan knew very well about her cleanliness habits, so he took a special shower to remove the sweat from his morning exercise.

When He Qin and the others saw the general arrive, they were overjoyed and hurriedly ordered people to prepare more breakfast.

Chu Mohan's gaze fell on the table, where the small, exquisite pastries were arranged neatly, like works of art. He couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself, these pastries are truly only suitable for her.

She was as delicate and refined as these pastries. And look at that small bowl of porridge—it was pitifully small, as if it were only enough for her to sip a few mouthfuls.

Before long, the servants quickly brought out a variety of food. The food emitted an enticing aroma, greatly stimulating one's appetite.

And so, Su Lianxue ate her delicious food while smiling at the general. Her eyes were filled with happiness and contentment, and her smile was as radiant as a flower blooming in spring.

Chu Mohan was genuinely amused by her appearance. Her cuteness and innocence always managed to touch his heart unexpectedly.

After finishing her meal, Su Lianxue said with a hint of coquettishness, "How could I have fallen asleep yesterday? The General didn't even wake me up."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mohan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile, and he said gently, "You're sleeping so soundly, I really can't bear to wake you. Besides, I'm not leaving right away."

His voice was full of tenderness, as if it could melt people's hearts.

"I just wanted to talk to you more," Su Lianxue said softly, her tone carrying a hint of reproach, but mostly filled with longing for him. However, considering that the general was still there, she didn't say anything more.

Chu Mohan thought about how well she had eaten breakfast, but he was also worried that she might have indigestion. Not wanting her to feel uncomfortable from overeating, he reached out and helped her up, leading her outside.

"Go ahead and say it. I'm here with you. How could I leave without saying a word?" His words were full of promise.

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She knew he cared about her, and he wouldn't easily leave her without saying goodbye. It was good that he knew he couldn't just leave without a word. Her heart was filled with gratitude and happiness.

There was still a slight chill in the morning air. Chu Mohan noticed this chill and, not wanting her to catch a cold, had someone bring her a cloak and gently draped it over her shoulders.

Then, the two walked out side by side. Their figures looked exceptionally harmonious in the morning light, like a beautiful painting.

......

Lin Yuexi and Ye Zhi somehow learned that the general was at the mansion. So, early that morning, the two of them began to wander around the mansion.

As luck would have it, they spotted the general in the distance. However, to their surprise, Miss Su was with him.

Watching the two figures together, they secretly thought to themselves, "With Miss Su by my side, the general won't lose his temper anymore, will he?"

Thinking this, the two of them took a step and slowly walked towards them. "Greetings, General! Greetings, Miss Su!" The two bowed to the general and Su Lianxue at the same time, their voices clear and loud.

Chu Mohan frowned as he looked at the two of them. They were everywhere; they were incredibly annoying.

However, Su Lianxue couldn't ignore their presence like the general did. After all, she wasn't yet the general's official wife, so this was the only way to address them.

Furthermore, since the two women hadn't explicitly stated that they were the general's concubines or anything like that, she was even more unsure how to address them. Therefore, Su Lianxue softly said, "Please rise, both of you sisters."

Upon hearing this, the two stood up. Just as they were about to continue speaking, Chu Mohan couldn't help but say, "You've exchanged greetings, now you may leave." His words carried an undeniable air of authority.

Lin Yuexi and Ye Zhi swallowed back the words they were about to say. Helpless, they could only say goodbye and turn to leave.

Su Lianxue watched their departing figures, her mind filled with countless thoughts. She knew that their main purpose in coming to pay their respects was to attract the general's attention.

But now that she has fallen deeply in love with the general, how could she tolerate another woman coveting him?

Even if they were sent by people from the palace, it wouldn't work. Unless... unless they were people the general himself liked. Thinking of this, a complex emotion welled up in Su Lianxue's heart.

She both hoped that the general would only have her in his heart, and worried that other women would steal his love away.
