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

"Dr. Zhang, this way please!" Madam Wang pushed Wen Qingci aside and invited Cai Zhixing into his room.

Seeing the Cai family all standing on Wen Rushi's side, Wen Qingci's face turned pale and then red.

Wen Rushi ignored it and sat upright in his chair to wait for the result.

Wen Qingci invited imperial physicians and many doctors to Cai Zhixing's home. Although they all said that he could not recover to his original state, Wen Rushi was still worried and specially brought doctors to his home to examine the injury in person.

If Cai Zhixing's legs hadn't been completely crippled, she would have had to do something before leaving.

Inside the room, Cai Zhixing's eyes lit up when he learned that the doctor was invited by Wen Rushi.

"Mother, who did you say invited this doctor for me?" Cai Zhixing asked incredulously.

Wang perked up and said, "It's the second daughter of the Wen family, your former fiancée."

Could it be that in this life, she still has feelings for him?

Before Cai Zhixing could even feel a surge of joy, he saw the old doctor sigh and shake his head.

Cai Zhixing had seen too many doctors make this expression in front of him recently, and he immediately understood what it meant.

After examining Cai Zhixing, Dr. Zhang shook his head and left the room.

"I examined the bone setting site, and the bone was set correctly, but... given the current situation, it will be shorter after the bone heals completely, resulting in uneven leg lengths..." Doctor Zhang shook his head and said regretfully, "I'm afraid he'll become a cripple in the future."

Although the old doctor was telling the truth, the Cai family was still unwilling to give up.

After all, Cai Zhixing was the hope of the whole family.

"Is there really no other way?" Wang pleaded through her tears.

Dr. Zhang shook his head. "The bone is so broken it's shortened. How can it be treated? I can't conjure up bones!"

The rest of the Cai family glared angrily at Wen Qingci. "It's all your fault for not keeping a close eye on my Xing'er. If you hadn't neglected him, he wouldn't have gone out at night. If Xing'er hadn't gone out at night, his leg wouldn't have been broken!" Wang glared fiercely at Wen Qingci.

Although her son didn't say anything explicitly during this time, his attitude was clear, and he must have been upset that Wen Qingci hadn't kept an eye on his going out.

After all, her son didn't have the habit of going out at night before they got married.

Wen Qingci took a step back, her face pale, and said, "Mother, my husband went out to socialize with others. How can I, a mere woman, interfere..."

"You're his wife, why can't you control him? My brother listens to you so much!" Cai Xiaodie said, dissatisfied.

Looking at the others, they all seemed to be blaming Wen Qingci.

Wen Rushi was overjoyed.

The Cai family is extremely selfish. How could they be at fault after such a thing happened? The only one at fault must be Wen Qingci, an outsider.

Wen Rushi tried to suppress her smile and said to Wen Qingci, "Sister, please don't blame Aunt and the others. They were just worried and confused." As she spoke, she sighed, "Alas! It's a pity that the doctor I brought didn't help much. Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer, so as not to cause everyone any more trouble."

Wen Qingci gripped the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her face turning pale with anger, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Wen Rushi.

Wen Rushi did not take Wen Qingci's hatred to heart.

In a way, although she ruined Cai Zhixing, she also saved Wen Qingci.

If Cai Zhixing's leg isn't crippled, there's a high chance he'll revert to his old ways.

Wen Qingci, who marries Cai Zhixing, will surely repeat the same path she took in her previous life, as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

In this light, she did manage to save Wen Qingci.

She's really lucky to be the eldest sister!

After receiving the accurate result, Wen Rushi left the Cai family with the doctor and maid, ignoring their attempts to persuade her to stay.

After confirming that Cai Zhixing's leg was completely crippled, Wen Rushi did not delay any longer and set off with Yue Lingshan, her maid Liuli, and a group of guards.

The carriage carried everyone northwards.

Three months later, one evening, several carriages stopped outside the gate of the Yancheng General's Mansion.

"Phew! Sister-in-law, we've finally arrived in Yancheng! We won't have to take the carriage every day anymore!" Yue Lingshan climbed out of the carriage and stretched rather inelegantly.

These past few months have been spent constantly on the go, braving wind and rain. Yue Lingshan has long since abandoned all the airs of a pampered young lady.

Wen Ru leaned out of the carriage, looked at the gate of the General's Mansion, and couldn't help but smile.

We've finally arrived.

However, what pleased Wen Rushi the most was the Tianshan Mountain, fifty miles outside Yancheng.

The Tianshan Mountains are covered in snow all year round and are sparsely populated. The spiritual energy in this area is twice that of the capital city.

She's come to the right place!

"Huh? What's going on? Why isn't my brother here?" Yue Lingshan asked, somewhat surprised, looking at the doorman and butler waiting at the door.

They estimated they would arrive today, and had sent someone by fast horse to the General's Mansion a day in advance to deliver the message. It's one thing that the others aren't here, but why isn't the eldest brother here either?

Wenru stepped down from the carriage. "This place is not like the capital. Your brother and the others must be busy."

The butler bowed to them and replied with a smile, "Young Madam is right. The young general and the others have indeed been very busy lately and haven't returned home for several days since they left the military camp."

Yue Lingshan waved her hand. "Butler, please arrange for everything to be unloaded from the carriage. By the way, are my sister-in-law's and my courtyard ready?"

"Don't worry, young lady, everything is ready. This old servant will arrange for someone to take you to rest. You can leave everything else to this old servant."

The two followed the steward into the general's mansion.

The general's mansion in Yancheng is larger than that in the capital, but it is much simpler and quieter.

Wen Rushi walked along the way but didn't see many servants.

The steward introduced the place to the two of them, "The main courtyard is where the Grand General lives, the east side is the Young General's courtyard, and the back courtyards are all empty, except for one where General Xiang lives."

Upon hearing that someone was living in the backyard, Yue Lingshan was immediately startled. "General Xiang? Why is she living in the backyard?"

The butler gave an awkward smile. "Well... after the young general returned from the capital, General Xiang moved in."

Wen Rushi raised an eyebrow.

If she remembered correctly, General Xiang was a woman.

Why did Yue Lingyuan allow a woman from another family to live in the inner quarters?

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan immediately exploded.

She and Wen Rushi spent several months together, sharing hardships and joys, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their relationship was very close.

Of course she knew who General Xiang, the man the steward was talking about, was.

"Why should an outsider like her live in the backyard of the general's mansion?"

The steward glanced at Wen Rushi and explained, "It was arranged by the young general; this old servant knew nothing about it!"

Seeing that Yue Lingshan was still dwelling on the matter, Wen Rushi said wearily, "Lingshan, it's so late, let's settle down first!"

The courtyards of the two women, the aunt and the sister-in-law, were very close to each other.

However, it was far from General Xiang Ying's courtyard.

Wen Rushi, however, did not care.

Yue Lingshan muttered to herself for a long time while the two were having their meal.

"My brother is the same. How could he let General Xiang live in the inner courtyard? What will people think if they heard about this? People who don't know the situation would think..." Yue Lingshan stopped talking and looked at her sister-in-law. She realized that what she was about to say was inappropriate.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame my brother. He's a careless person and probably didn't think that much about it."
