We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

Ever since Wen Qingci married into the Cai family, Cai Zhixing has treated her like a precious jewel, putting her first in everything.

Even if she had a dispute with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Cai Zhixing would always stand by her side and support her.

Wen Qingci was so glad that she had finally married the right person!

But the more she felt that Cai Zhixing was good, the more she cared about him.

So, as soon as she saw Wen Rushi, she couldn't help but want to do something!

She must have been foolish to stop Wen Rushi from talking for so long. If her husband were seduced by her, he would have nowhere to cry!

Wen Qingci sobbed, "Sister, my husband isn't that kind of person. You yourself aren't liked by General Yue, and he doesn't even enter your room after we got married. But you can't try to drive a wedge between my husband and me like this. You've really disappointed me so much..."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately began to discuss it, with some of the women being the loudest.

"This Miss Wen is not only ugly, but she also has quite the imagination. Scholar Cai already has the most beautiful woman in the capital by his side, so why would he take a fancy to an ugly duckling like her?"

"Miss Wen is right, this woman is truly vicious. She's not only bad herself, but she can't stand seeing others suffer!"

"I wonder when General Yue divorced her!"

"She is completely unworthy of General Yue!"

Seeing everyone constantly belittling her mistress, Liuli was so angry that her face turned red. Unfortunately, she was slow to react and clumsy with words, and after stammering for a long time, she still didn't know how to retaliate. All she could do was glare fiercely at the people in the pavilion opposite.

Even if others say something outrageous, Wen Rushi won't take it to heart, but she won't tolerate those people taking advantage of her.

"They're already a good match, even if they're not. Blame it on certain unscrupulous people who aren't lucky enough to marry into the bride's family!"

Wen Rushi's voice was quite loud, and the girls nearby who were making sarcastic remarks could hear it clearly.

Her words offended all the girls who had feelings for Yue Lingyuan.

The girl in yellow reacted the most, "Wen Rushi, don't go too far! What kind of skill is it to marry into the general's mansion through trickery? Someone as talentless and unattractive as you will be divorced sooner or later!"

One girl spoke up, immediately drawing agreement from the other girls: "That's right! Look at yourself! You're not worthy of Young General Yue at all! If you know what's good for you, pack your things and get out of the General's mansion!"

"That's right! You're just a concubine's daughter, lacking both status and talent, and you're ugly too. You've been married into the General's mansion for so many days, and Young General Yue hasn't even entered your room. If it were me, I would have already asked to leave!"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but my wife is very good, and I am satisfied with her." Yue Lingyuan walked out from behind a peach tree, took Wen Rushi's hand, and when he looked at her, his usually cold eyes showed a hint of warmth.

This made the girls present feel a little envious.

What kind of vision does General Yue have?

Which of the girls here isn't better than Wen Rushi?

He was talented and handsome, yet General Yue was blinded by that ugly woman, Wen Ru.

It must have been Wen Rushi who shamelessly seduced him!

Wen Rushi knew that her closeness with Yue Lingyuan had aroused public anger, but she still obediently let the man hold her hand.

She loves seeing those people's envious faces.

"You see? My husband thinks I'm very good, and he treats me well. Some people should just give up now!"

Wen Qingci looked at the two people leaning on each other, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

In her previous life, Yue Lingyuan treated her coldly, but in this life, he cares so much about Wen Ru and even stands up for her!

How is that possible!

Fine, anyway, the General's Mansion is not a good place, and Yue Lingyuan is not a good man. Let Wen Rushi have a couple of good days for now, she'll have plenty of time to cry later!

"My lord, I am a little tired. Shall we go back?" Wen Qingci leaned weakly against Cai Zhixing and said softly.

Cai Zhixing greatly appreciated Wen Qingci's reliance on him.

He half-supported Wen Qingci, his face full of tenderness and consideration, and said, "Since my wife is tired, I will take her down the mountain now."

After the two annoying flies left, Wen Rushi felt a sense of peace and quiet.

"Let's go too!"

Yue Lingyuan nodded.

After getting away from those people, Yue Lingyuan remained silent for a while before explaining, "Don't listen to outsiders' nonsense. My mother and I don't dislike you; on the contrary, my mother prefers you to be her daughter-in-law."

Wen Ru asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Even she had to admit that, on the surface, Wen Qingci was superior to her in appearance, talent, and reputation.

Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, Yao should have preferred Wen Qingci.

"Do you remember why our two families became related through marriage?"

"I heard that my father saved your grandmother, which led to this marriage between our two families," Wen Rushi replied.

Yue Lingyuan nodded. "That's right. However, it wasn't Lord Wen who saved Grandmother. It was your birth mother, Aunt Li, who saved Grandmother. But your father told others that it was he who saved her. Later, after Grandmother recovered from her illness, she proposed a marriage alliance with the Wen family."

She originally intended for me to be engaged to Aunt Li's biological daughter, which is you. However, she didn't expect that her mother would suddenly fall ill and pass away so hastily. At this time, the Wen family proposed that Miss Wen be engaged to me. Grandmother thought that you were all alone in the Wen family, and if she really got engaged to you, she was afraid that you would be tormented to death in the backyard. Therefore, she agreed to the engagement with Miss Wen.

Looking back, she felt it was inappropriate, so her grandmother planned to have you finish your mourning period and then take you to the general's mansion to be raised as his goddaughter. However, in the following years, her grandmother's health deteriorated, and her grandfather and several uncles died in battle one after another. There were many things to do in the mansion, and there was no reason to take you in. After her grandmother passed away, the matter was dropped.

After what happened at the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence last time, my mother not only didn't scold me, but was also very happy.

She'd love for you to become her daughter-in-law.

Therefore, no one in my family dislikes you, so don't overthink it, and don't take other people's opinions about whether you're a good match to heart.

Wen Rushi never imagined that there were so many unknown things behind this marriage.

No wonder Granny Li was so certain that her birth mother was murdered.

Wen Shilang wasn't always Wen Shilang; his earlier official positions were even lower.

For the Wen family at that time, being able to form a marriage alliance with the prestigious General's Mansion was undoubtedly a stroke of good fortune.

Even now!

It's perfectly normal for Mrs. Chen to want her daughter to marry into a wealthy family!

But the one who truly saved Yue Lingyuan's grandmother's life was Aunt Li. If someone wanted to repay her kindness through an engagement, the recipient of that kindness would only be Aunt Li's own daughter!

In this way, if Madam Chen wants her daughter to get this good marriage, she has to remove the stumbling block that is preventing her daughter from marrying into a high-class family!

So, her aunt died.

She no longer had anyone to stand up for her.

Under Chen's influence, Wen Jincheng changed his betrothed to Yue Lingyuan to Wen Qingci.

In this way, it all makes sense that her birth mother suddenly passed away and made her dress up as ugly before her death.

However, these are all her personal speculations. To convict Chen, she needs evidence!
