Chapter 213 You're quite proud of becoming a general's wife, aren't you?

This contradicts her original decision, which was to wait for them to return so she could propose a divorce and leave the mansion to live a free and carefree life.

No matter how good Lu Yunqi is, he already has someone he loves.

But with her mother looking at her expectantly, Yu Qingci couldn't bring herself to say anything in rebuttal, and could only casually comfort her:

"I know, Mother, don't worry. Divorce is a big deal, and I will think it through before making a decision."

Su Chengniang felt a little relieved when she heard her daughter say this, knowing that she couldn't rush things if she wanted to change her daughter's decision; she had to take it slowly.

But I still couldn't help but add, "When you make a decision, be sure to tell us in advance. Don't be rash."

After the mother and daughter talked for a while, Yu Qingci suggested going to the Wisteria Courtyard where she used to live.

Since we're back, let's go take a look. There are still some things in the Wisteria Garden that we didn't take with us back then, so we'll pick out some of our favorites to take back with us this time.

It wasn't far from Mingyue Residence to Wisteria Courtyard. Yu Qingci asked Granny Pei to stay there and talk to her mother, while Tong'er had already been sent away to talk to some of her old friends. She only took Lianqiao and headed towards Wisteria Courtyard.

After leaving Mingyue Residence, they walked for a while and stepped onto a green path. The scenery along this path in the Earl's Mansion was very well arranged, with ancient trees reaching the sky on both sides and artificial hills and vines intertwined in a well-organized manner. The master and servant walked and enjoyed the scenery, feeling very comfortable.

"Yu Qingci, you stop right there."

Turning around, I saw Yu Qingying hurrying over, lifting her skirt, followed by several maids and Yu Lian.

Yu Qingying huffed and puffed as she ran up to Yu Qingci, glaring at her through gritted teeth and saying:

"You're so smug, aren't you? Lu Yunqi's back, and you're no longer a widow, you've even become a general's wife. Aren't you very proud of yourself?"

Yu Qingci rolled her eyes speechlessly and said as she wished, "Yes, I'm very proud of myself."

"you!"

Yu Qingying was furious at her audacity and pointed a finger at her, saying:

"What makes you so proud? If it weren't for my second sister's kindness in giving you her place in the marriage, who in the capital would have even looked at you, a wild girl from the countryside?"

"Your good life now is all stolen, and you're still shamelessly gloating? Do you really think you're worthy of being a general's wife?"

Yu Qingci's eyes were cold and aloof, her voice laced with sarcasm:

"Kindness? Letting go? Yu Qingying, I think you're not quite right in the head. Do you dare say that to your father and grandmother again?"

"Don't try to scare me with my father and grandmother, you're shameless!"

Yu Qingci's gaze grew increasingly cold: "Back then, when the General's Mansion came to our door demanding that the Earl's Mansion fulfill the marriage agreement, who in the entire capital didn't know what marrying into the General's Mansion meant? Your good mother and good sister schemed and plotted to get rid of this marriage. Your mother even went bald from exhaustion, and finally, she passed the marriage to me."

What, now that you see that she's back and has become a high-ranking general, you regret it and feel that I stole your sister's things?

That's what you call shameless!

Yu Qingying was taken aback by her sharp words. Yu Qingci continued:

"Your mother, Madam Qiao, was eager to marry me off to him so I could be a widow for life. Now that my husband has returned alive, it is because he is lucky and blessed. And I have survived the days of widowhood thanks to God's blessing. Now that my husband is honored and I am honored, it is my destiny and my luck! Why shouldn't I be proud?"

"But you, at such a young age, where did you learn to spout such 'steal' and 'rob'? Believe me or not, I'll drag you to Father's place right now and let him be the judge!"

Yu Qingying was so choked up that her face turned red and white in turns. Her finger pointing at Yu Qingci trembled with anger, but she couldn't find the words to refute her.

The maid behind her kept her head down, barely daring to breathe, while Yu Lian shrank back, wishing she could shrink into the artificial hill next to her.

"You...you're just making excuses!"

After holding it in for a long time, Yu Qingying could only shriek:

"In short, you stole someone else's marriage!"

"Oh,"

Yu Qingci scoffed, "Second Sister hasn't even said anything yet, why are you jumping up and down like this? Did Second Sister send you over to talk to her? Why don't you discuss it with Second Sister? If you regret it, you might as well break off the engagement with the Prince of Cheng'an and choose to marry into the General's Mansion. However, even if she marries into the General's Mansion, she can only be a concubine. I'm generous enough to give her the status of a noble concubine. As for being a common wife like your mother, don't even think about it."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Yu Qingying's face, which was twisted with anger, and led Lian Qiao straight towards the direction of the Wisteria Courtyard.

Yu Qingying stood there, gritting her teeth in anger, staring intently at the figure in front of her. She never expected that this bitch would become so sharp-tongued. She had originally come to provoke her so as to vent her anger for her second sister, but she never expected to be so angry that she was left speechless.

By the way, did that bitch go in the direction of the Wisteria Courtyard?

Yu Qingying had been coveting this courtyard for a long time. Not long after Yu Qingci got married, she tried to move in by acting cute and charming in front of Madam Zhang and Madam Qiao. The courtyard she lived in was too small and not worthy of her status as the legitimate daughter. Moreover, Yu Qingci would be a widow for life after marriage, so she would not have the opportunity to return to her parents' home. Such a good courtyard would be better given to her.

Grandmother favored the two sisters and agreed after she asked several times, but Father stopped her when he found out. He said that the courtyard belonged to the celadon family and that it should be kept for her even after she got married.

With both old and new grudges combined, it's no wonder Yu Qingying couldn't possibly find Yu Qingci pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that the other person had disappeared, she turned around, grabbed Yu Lian's ear from behind, and shouted:

"It's all your fault, you useless thing. Did I call you here just to watch the show? Why didn't you speak up for me when that bitch was bullying me?"

Yu Lian was being pinched so hard that tears were about to fall, and all she could do was keep begging for mercy.

"Fourth sister, I was wrong. Who knew that third sister was so eloquent? I've always been clumsy with words, how could I possibly be a match for third sister?"

"Who is your third sister? Are you just trying to curry favor with her now that she's become a general's wife? Don't you know your place? No matter how much you try to please her, she won't even look at you!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yu Lian admitted her mistake: "Yes, Fourth Sister, I was wrong. Third... that bitch has become so sharp-tongued. Since we can't out-argue her, why don't we think of a way to embarrass her?"

Having grown up by her fourth sister's side, Yu Lian knew very well how to distract her.

Yu Qingying's grip remained firm: "What method?"

Yu Lian: "This is our Earl's Mansion, and everyone here is one of our people. Didn't Fourth Sister put croton seeds in her cousin's tea when she was disciplining her?"

Yu Qingying rolled her eyes and thought the idea was good, so she let go of her hand.

"Go and fetch the maid who cleans the Wisteria Courtyard right away, and tell her to get things done. I need to go see my second sister."
