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

After practicing all night, Yue Lingyuan had a profound understanding of how exquisite and unparalleled the cultivation method Wen Rushi had given him was.

Such an exquisite and unparalleled skill would never be given to him if she were a spy.

After all, the Tatars would never have such an exquisite technique, and even if they did, spies would never give it to a general of the Great Jin!

It was because of this that Yue Lingyuan dispelled his doubts about Wen Rushi.

As for the reason why she pretended to be someone else, Yue Lingyuan gradually figured it out over the past few days, considering Wen Rushi's previous treatment in the Wen family.

As long as Wenru does not do anything harmful to the Great Jin and its people, Yue Lingyuan has no intention of exposing her.

It was for this reason that Yue Lingyuan agreed to let Wen Rushi go to the border.

Another thing that made Wen Rushi happy was that she no longer had to worry about being disturbed while cultivating at night, and she even had a cultivation partner.

One was on the bed in the inner room, and the other on the couch in the outer room, undisturbed by each other.

That was bad enough. The couple not only cultivated together at night, but Yue Lingyuan also stayed at Chunhe Courtyard during the day, asking Wen Rushi for advice from time to time.

Wen Rushi almost exhausted all the beginner's tips and tricks.

Although she doesn't remember much.

The two were inseparable, and their relationship progressed rapidly. When Yao learned of this, she couldn't stop smiling.

Granny Zhang congratulated the lady, saying that she would soon be able to hold her grandson.

In the two days before Yue Lingyuan left, he cultivated without sleep or rest. His mental state did not deteriorate like Wen Rushi's; in fact, it visibly improved.

Although it hasn't reached the stage of inducing qi to enter the body, judging from his progress, it's possible that he might actually be able to induce qi to enter the body.

Wen Rushi was very puzzled. Could it be because the cultivation methods were different? That was why there had been no progress?

Therefore, she tried the common martial arts technique used by Yue Lingyuan, but it was still the same.

On the night before he left, Yue Lingyuan actually caused an infection!

He was completely stunned when he sensed the spiritual energy that Wen Rushi had described.

Only now did he realize that in this world, besides using martial arts internal energy for one's own benefit, one could also transform the spiritual energy between mountains and rivers into one's own spiritual power for one's own use. However, spiritual energy is scarce and only serves to nourish oneself, but it is still much stronger than internal energy.

Even the usually composed Yue Lingyuan couldn't help but get excited.

Sure enough, before dawn, he went straight to Chunhe Courtyard to share the news with Wen Rushi.

Although Wen Rushi is now in a mortal body, she still has the necessary insight. She was stunned when she saw Yue Lingyuan radiating spiritual energy.

Back then, she didn't expect Yue Lingyuan to develop any special skills from the cultivation method she gave him. At most, it would strengthen his body and improve his physique. But she never expected that it would actually be absorbed into Yue Lingyuan's body!

This is absolutely unbelievable!

Wen Rushi looked at Yue Lingyuan, whose skin had become noticeably cleaner, with disbelief in her eyes.

She couldn't help but feel envious!

"How did you train? Tell me quickly!" Wen Rushi asked impatiently.

"It's just like what Madam taught me: meditate every day and feel the spiritual energy." Yue Lingyuan scratched his head.

This method was given to him by his wife, so why was she asking him for advice instead? Yue Lingyuan couldn't understand it.

Looking at Yue Lingyuan's surprised and delighted expression, Wen Rushi knew she wouldn't get any more information out of him.

After all, Yue Lingyuan's cultivation time was only a fraction of hers, so he was probably completely baffled.

"Sigh! I wonder when I'll be able to draw qi into my body like you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingyuan remembered that Wen Rushi's current condition was due to him, and felt a pang of guilt.

Before today, when he was unsure whether this technique was feasible, he didn't fully grasp what Wen Rushi had lost.

But now, he truly felt sorry for Wen Rushi.

She started cultivating much earlier than him, so her cultivation level and martial arts skills were naturally higher.

But because of him, all his previous efforts were in vain. Yet Wen Rushi has been able to treat him so peacefully these past few days, without taking his anger out on him. What merit does he have?

If you put yourself in their shoes, you might not be able to do that either.

Thinking of this, Yue Lingyuan hugged Wen Rushi tightly.

"Madam, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault..."

"It's alright, let bygones be bygones!" Wen Rushi understood Yue Lingyuan's unspoken meaning and gently comforted him.

After all, she didn't really lose her magic power because of Yue Lingyuan; she was simply trapped in this mortal body.

Yue Lingyuan looked into Wen Rushi's eyes, his gaze filled with emotion. "My lady has treated me with utmost sincerity. Rest assured, I will never betray you!"

Wen Rushi was stunned for a moment.

When did she start treating him with genuine affection?

Besides wanting to give Yue Lingyuan something to do so he wouldn't bother me at night, there was another reason why I gave him this cultivation technique.

Yue Lingyuan is a general who protects his country, and he suffered such a fate in his previous life. If he practices this technique now, not only will he have more self-protection ability in the future, but if she still makes no progress in her cultivation after a few years, she can also benefit from it to some extent.

However, Wen Rushi naturally wouldn't tell Yue Lingyuan about these little thoughts.

"It's good that you know. I'm powerless now, so you'll have to protect me a lot in the future," Wen Ru said softly.

Although she has always firmly believed that she is the only one she can rely on in this world, it doesn't mean that she will turn away any help offered to her.

Yue Lingyuan was absolutely certain that the cultivation technique Wen Rushi had given him was unique in the world, one of a kind.

He will never let down his wife's kindness and affection!

Yue Lingyuan hugged the person in his arms tightly again, all the words in his heart condensing into a single word: "Okay!"

Suddenly, Yue Lingyuan's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

But looking at the person in his arms, he ultimately asked nothing.

The sky gradually brightened.

Yue Lingyuan also remembered that today was the day he was leaving.

"In that case, I should go." Yue Lingyuan released Wen Rushi and said reluctantly.

Wen Rushi released the person, saying, "I've prepared some food for you; take it and eat it on the way."

"good!"

As dawn broke, Yue Lingyuan reluctantly bid farewell to Wen Rushi and her family, then, carrying his three younger brothers and the large and small bags prepared by Wen Rushi, rode swiftly away from the capital.

After Yue Lingyuan left, Wen Rushi felt that Chunhe Courtyard was empty.

In the evening, after Wenru had dinner, she called Liuli to her room alone.

She will be leaving the capital soon, and some things should be settled.

"Liuli, after it gets dark and Qiuli and the others have rested, come with me to do something. Don't alert anyone else, understand?"

Liuli nodded hurriedly, "This servant will remember."

In her previous life, Cai Zhixing had only been married to her for a few days when he coaxed her into using her dowry money to go out and have fun with a group of scholars under the guise of socializing, often returning home in the middle of the night.

In this life, Wen Qingci is wholeheartedly trying to please Cai Zhixing, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, this matter should remain unchanged.

Wen Rushi originally planned to take this opportunity to break Cai Zhixing's leg without anyone noticing, thus disqualifying him from the imperial examination.

Unexpectedly, she waited for several days, but Cai Zhixing still didn't go out!

However, Wen Rushi did not give up and kept the little beggar in the city watching over her.

Qiu Li just received a message from the gatekeeper that a little beggar was looking for her, but by the time she got there, the little beggar had already disappeared.

Qiu Li was completely baffled and ran over to tell Wen Ru Shi about it.

Upon hearing this, he knew it was time to take action.

The little beggar only looked for people but never saw them; this was the secret code between Wen Rushi and the little beggar.

She personally handled everything, but under the name of Qiu Li. Whenever the little beggar came to find Qiu Li, it meant that Cai Zhixing had gone out in the evening.

As night fell, Wen Rushi and Liuli changed into black clothes and left the General's Mansion through the dog hole she had discovered, heading straight for the alley where the Cai family lived in the south of the city.
