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

Another soldier muttered under his breath, "Who knows? Maybe they heard something and that's why they chased after us?"

Immediately, someone nearby echoed his sentiment.

"I guess so. She looks delicate and frail, and her appearance isn't outstanding. She doesn't seem to be a good match for the young general."

"General Xiang and the young general are still the best match!"

Although the guards lowered their voices, Wen Rushi, with her excellent hearing, could still hear everything clearly, even through the door.

Yue Lingshan, however, only noticed what everyone was whispering about and was unaware that they were discussing her sister-in-law.

Seeing them whispering amongst themselves, I couldn't help but ask:

"What are you talking about? Open the door, we need to come in!"

When they arrived outside the military camp, the sun was almost high in the sky, and it was very hot.

When Yue Lingshan saw the soldiers grumbling and refusing to open the door, she couldn't contain herself any longer.

At this moment, a dark-faced soldier stepped forward. "Do you two have any tokens? We need to verify your identities and obtain approval from our superiors before we can let you in."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan took off her jade pendant and threw it over.

The soldier took the jade pendant and turned to another soldier, instructing him, "Erniu, go to the young general's camp and report this."

"receive!"

Erniu took the jade pendant and left, while the others continued to stand guard at their posts.

The campsite was very large, and Erniu jogged the whole way to save time.

Some soldiers in the camp, having some free time, saw him and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Erniu, aren't you supposed to be on guard duty at the gate at this hour? Why are you back?"

"Well, the young general's wife and his sister have come to visit the general and the others. They're waiting outside. I'll go tell them."

Upon hearing that the young general's wife had arrived, a hint of gossip immediately flashed in everyone's eyes.

After a battle, everyone was resting. They were exhausted, but also a bit gossipy.

"Are you talking about the wife the young general was forced to marry in the capital? What brings her here?"

"How would I know!" Erniu only had time to reply before he quickly disappeared.

The others were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Um... do you think that with the young mistress here, she might cause trouble for the young general? After all, General Xiang Ying and the young general are always seen together here..."

"That's hard to say!"

"If she makes a scene, wouldn't that be considered jealousy? The young general already dislikes that, and it will only lead to..."

These soldiers are heroes who defend their country on the battlefield, but once they leave the battlefield, they are no different from ordinary people; they are curious and gossipy.

Looking at the jade pendant Erniu had brought him, Yue Lingyuan asked with some doubt, "Are you sure those two people outside the military camp were talking about my sister and... my wife?"

"Young General, that's exactly what they said. I've never seen the young lady and the young mistress, and I don't recognize them," Erniu said honestly.

Yue Lingyuan looked at the jade pendant in his hand and pondered: The jade pendant is real, but why did his sister come to the border?

And that woman, that woman from the previous life stayed in the capital, until…

Although Yue Lingyuan didn't quite believe that his sister and that woman would come to the border, he still decided to go and see for himself.

"I'll go take a look." As soon as she finished speaking, the tent flap was lifted, and Xiang Ying walked in.

"Ling Yuan, who's here?"

Yue Lingyuan: "The guards came to report that my sister Ling Shan has arrived. I'll go take a look."

Xiang Ying's eyes lit up. "I'll go with you!"

They had known each other since childhood, but they hadn't had much contact. However, Xiang Ying knew that Yue Lingshan had always regarded her as a role model.

"No need, you go ahead with your work, important matters are more important."

Although Yue Lingyuan did not say it explicitly, Xiang Ying still understood his implied meaning.

After Yue Lingyuan returned from the capital, he persuaded General Yue to support her research on gunpowder.

Previously, she had repeatedly proposed to make gunpowder, but General Yue and Yue Lingyuan both disagreed with her researching gunpowder and using it on the battlefield, saying that it was too harmful and against the natural order.

Because no one supported her, and she had no connections to obtain the materials, she had no choice but to give up. Unexpectedly, Yue Lingyuan returned to the capital and supported her research on gunpowder. As a result, Xiang Ying has devoted herself to the research for the past few months and has a lot on her hands.

"The things are almost ready, so it won't make a difference if we go any further. I'll go with you!"

Yue Lingyuan was delighted and wanted to say something more, but then realized that there were too many people talking at the moment, and now was not the time to talk about this, so he nodded in agreement.

Wen Rushi and his companion waited for a quarter of an hour before someone finally came through the gate.

Hearing the noise, Wen Rushi looked up.

Yue Lingyuan was seen walking side by side with a woman.

Both of them were wearing armor.

Clearly, the woman was none other than the legendary General Xiang Ying.

She wore a full set of red armor, looking as heroic as in the legends.

Xiang Ying's expression was arrogant, and she looked at Wen Rushi with a hint of disdain.

Seeing that she was staring at him so openly, Wen Rushi looked at her coldly.

Xiang Ying was surprised that Wen Rushi dared to glare at her, and her face immediately darkened.

After the military camp gates opened, Yue Lingyuan only looked at Yue Lingshan, not even glancing at Wen Rushi who was standing next to him.

"Ling Shan, why are you here? Did Mother agree?" Yue Lingyuan's face was icy cold, his armor still stained with blood, perhaps from killing barbarians, and a terrifying killing aura surrounded him.

Of course, after fighting all night, he naturally didn't smell good.

Before Yue Lingyuan could even get close, Wen Rushi couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.

Yue Lingshan was already afraid of him, and seeing her murderous older brother, she didn't think much of it and her voice was weaker than usual.

"If Mother hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have dared to come! I only came with my sister-in-law because I heard the barbarians attacked last night and I was worried about you and Father."

After saying that, she hid behind Wen Rushi, somewhat frightened.

Wen Rushi was speechless when she saw her sister-in-law's timid appearance.

With that kind of guts, you still want to go into battle and kill the enemy?

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingyuan frowned and looked around.

Wen Rushi only brought Liuli with her, while Yue Lingshan did not bring any maids.

Three people came in total. Apart from the younger sister, the other two were not the faces Yue Lingyuan remembered.

"Where is your sister-in-law?"

Wen Rushi looked at the man in front of her, whose gaze was sweeping around, and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

She was standing right in front of Yue Lingyuan, and he actually asked her where she was? Did he not recognize her?

Seeing this, Xiang Ying assumed that the wife Yue Lingyuan had to marry had not come because Er Niu had relayed the wrong message, and she was immediately delighted.

Yue Lingshan was immediately displeased when her older brother asked her where her sister-in-law was.

She nudged Wen Rushi forward. "Brother, sister-in-law is standing right in front of you, didn't you see her?"

Wen Rushi instinctively held her breath.

Yue Lingyuan's gaze finally fell on Wen Rushi's face, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Is this the wife he married in the capital?

He remembered that the eldest daughter of the Wen family didn't look like this, right?

The woman in front of him was unremarkable, unlike the bright and beautiful woman in his memory. If Yue Lingshan hadn't pushed her in front of him, he would have thought she was his sister's maid.

"Brother, what's wrong? You haven't seen her for a few months, have you forgotten your sister-in-law?" Yue Lingshan asked in surprise when she saw her older brother staring at Wen Rushi for a long time without saying a word.

Wen Rushi also found it strange. Yue Lingyuan looked at her with a very unfamiliar gaze, as if he didn't recognize her. What exactly happened?

"You mean, she's your sister-in-law?" A crack seemed to appear on Yue Lingyuan's usually expressionless face.

Since his rebirth, Yue Lingyuan has been preoccupied with how to save the country and its people and protect his family. After arriving at the border, he devoted all his energy to border defense and had long forgotten about the wife he married in the capital. He also did not bother to recall the memories of his marriage in this life.

Because his memories hadn't merged, Yue Lingyuan always believed that the person he married in the capital was Miss Wen.

Without accepting that memory, he would not recognize Wen Rushi.

When Xiang Ying saw that Yue Lingyuan didn't even recognize the person he married in the capital, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Ling Yuan doesn't even know what the woman he's marrying looks like, so he definitely doesn't care about her at all, and the two of them may never have even met...
