"I'm asking you, what is the name of General Jianwei? Is he really favored by the emperor and is he powerful?"

When Chen Yuan first came to the capital, Gu Zhaoming was just a minor scholar, and she was a married woman from another country, so she was not familiar with many of the powerful people in the capital.

Even though Gu Zhaoming later became a Beijing official, he was only a lowly sixth-rank official, so Chen Yuan still had no chance to know what went on in the courtyards of those noble families.

Lu Zhu nodded, "General Jianwei's surname is Yang, and his single character is Cheng. He is a second-rank general appointed by the emperor himself. He has made countless contributions. He was injured a few days ago and is now recovering in the capital."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the word "Second Rank", "Does he really not have a wife?"

Luzhu nodded, "The first general's wife died while giving birth three years ago."

"Who is the boss of the mansion now?"

"She is the general's biological mother, Madam Yang."

"What kind of person is this old lady Yang usually?"

Don't be like Liu, who is always in trouble. That would be disastrous.

"I heard that Madam Yang is a person who is keen on worshipping Buddha and doesn't care about other people's affairs. In the past, the general's wife was the one who made the decisions in the mansion.

It was not until the general’s wife died that the old lady took over the housekeeping power.”

It would be great if the old man in the mansion didn't interfere. Chen Yuan was really afraid of that troublemaker.

"Did the child survive? Was it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a boy. He survived and is now three years old."

When Chen Yuan heard that there was going to be a child, she was secretly happy. She couldn't have children and the child was still young. If she married and raised the child carefully, the child would be no different from her own.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan unconsciously shifted his target from Changsheng to the General's Mansion.

"Miss?" Luzhu waited for a long time without hearing Chen Yuan's words. When she raised her eyes, she saw Chen Yuan smiling and didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Yuan came back to her senses after hearing the voice. She waved to Lu Zhu and said, "Okay, I got it. You can go down now!"

She wants to find her mother. She wants to be the general's wife!

Chen Yuan made a decision in his heart in the blink of an eye.

She was too lazy to waste time, so she sat down in front of the dressing table and asked Hongdou to help her do her makeup as she was going to see her mother.

Hongdou was a girl of few words and dexterity. After she finished putting makeup on Chen Yuan in silence, she followed Chen Yuan to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Chen was counting the bills in the shop. When she saw Chen Yuan coming over, she quickly put down the account book.

Although Chen Yuan's daughter did not grow up with Mrs. Chen, the mother and daughter have been together for several years, and Mrs. Chen has some understanding of Chen Yuan's daughter.

He is the kind of person who would never come to visit someone for no reason, not to mention that now is neither the time for paying respects nor the time for eating.

"Is there anything I can help you with, mother?" Mrs. Chen felt indebted to her daughter, so she was very concerned about Chen Yuan's affairs.

As soon as Chen Yuan came up, he took Mrs. Chen's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you are really my dear mother. How do you know that I am in trouble before your daughter even opens her mouth?"

Mrs. Chen smiled and gently patted Chen Yuan's hand, "Don't be so talkative. Tell me, what do you need from me, your mother?"

Seeing that Madam Chen looked fine, Chen Yuan said directly, "Mother, I heard that the General's Mansion is looking for a concubine for General Jianwei. What do you think of me?"

"General Jianwei?" Mrs. Chen thought for a while before she remembered this person.

"Are you talking about Yang Cheng of the Yang family?"

Chen Yuan nodded, "Mom, do you know his family?"

Mrs. Chen thought about Yang Cheng's conditions and felt that he had a good vision.

"You have good taste, girl. The Yang family is an old noble family, and they hold military power. You have good taste."

Chen Yuan thought his mother was worried about the big difference between the two families and did not support her decision, so he hurriedly said, "Our Yiyong Marquis's Mansion is not bad either. My father and my brothers all hold important positions. Although I am marrying for the second time, the other party is marrying a concubine. No one can look down on anyone..."

Madam Chen nodded randomly. The men and children in her family were all military generals, and a marriage with the General's Mansion would only be beneficial to the Yiyong Marquis' Mansion.

"Have you really decided?"

Chen Yuan nodded immediately.

Who wouldn't want to be a powerful general under the age of thirty?

At this time, Chen Yuan had already forgotten about Changsheng completely.

"I'll discuss it with your father, and then we'll go to the general's mansion to take a look."

Chen Yuan nodded hurriedly and agreed. Just as he was thinking about when to visit the general's mansion, Shen Rong's invitation was delivered to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan replied quickly and arranged a time to meet.

In order to show off to Shen Rong, Chen Yuan scheduled their meeting on the second day after she went to the general's mansion.

Chen Yuan asked someone to inquire about the Yang family's affairs and let Shen Rong and others know as soon as possible.

By the time the two sides agreed on a meeting time, Shen Rong and the other two knew about it.

Shen Rong was a little worried that the two men would not like each other when they met. Of course, it was not that Chen Yuan did not like General Jianwei, but that General Jianwei did not like Chen Yuan.

After all, although Chen Yuan's appearance could not be said to be ugly, his appearance was indeed not outstanding in this capital city full of talented people.

To put it bluntly, Yang Cheng, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the capital, probably looked down upon Chen Yuan.

However, Shen Rong had an inexplicable confidence in Chen Yuan's plan. As long as Chen Yuan wanted to do it, it would succeed.

After all, she was only one day away from marrying Gu Zhaoming, but Chen Yuan ruined her marriage on that very day, and soon she became Gu Zhaoming's wife.

Therefore, Shen Rong knew that Chen Yuan would achieve her goal even at the cost of everything.

Shen Rong and the others had no idea what happened after Chen Yuan and her mother, Madam Chen, entered the general's mansion. They only got the news from the little beggar who was following them. When the mother and son left the general's mansion, they had smiles on their faces.

The next day, Chen Yuan came to the teahouse where he was supposed to meet Shen Rongyue as agreed.

"How do you have time to ask me out?" Chen Yuan was a little surprised that Shen Rong asked her out.

After all, they had been in the capital for so long, and every time she took the initiative to see Shen Rong, but Shen Rong never asked her out.

"It's nothing, I just miss home. Since you are from Taohua Village, I wanted to talk to you." Shen Rong looked at Chen Yuan, who looked very proud, and said softly.

Chen Yuan sneered in his heart when he heard Shen Rong say this. Humph! So what if you, Shen Rong, are the wife of a marquis? When I become the wife of a general, will you, the wife of a marquis, be able to show off in front of me?

After Chen Yuan entered the general's mansion with her mother yesterday, she met Yang Cheng.

To be honest, Chen Yuan didn't have a very good impression of Yang Cheng.

In particular, after seeing Yang Cheng's appearance, Chen Yuan unconsciously pulled out Gu Zhaoming to compare with him.

Gu Zhaoming was a scholar, and his manners were elegant, refined and polite.

To put it nicely, Yang Cheng was a general, but to put it bluntly, he was just a rough man. Although his behavior could not be described as vulgar, it was not much better either.

Chen Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Cheng.
