She was the illegitimate daughter of the prefect. Her father, appreciating a certain general, betrothed his daughter to him and introduced him to Prince Xian. Living up to expectations, he became a...
"Really? It seems that my mother-in-law is hiding something from my aunt." Yuan Xueyue said.
"you……"
Guo Lianglian was speechless and didn't know how to get Yuan Xueyue to take the initiative to ask her mother to give up Xingger!
Lin Yan'er fanned herself aside and said,
"My dear, she's the general's wife. Not long ago, she was even able to go to the palace with the general to discuss matters concerning the manor! She has so much power. If she wants to, there's no way she won't give up Xing'er."
Lin Yan'er's words were indeed correct, but not entirely correct.
In the end, I love Guo Liangxian too much and blindly worship him!
"You still know that I am the Madam. How much power does a concubine have? If you dare to refute the Madam's words, slap her in the face!" Yuan Xueyue ordered.
Cuiping and the servants beside her heard it and immediately stepped forward to hold down Lin Yan'er!
Even the maidservant beside her didn't dare to stop her.
Guo Lianglian was stunned. Could the lady of a large mansion be so decisive?
Lin Yan'er was terrified and immediately shouted, "How dare you...ah!"
Cuiping only slapped twice before Yuan Xueyue shouted at her to stop!
She challenged,
"Why, are you scared now?"
Yuan Xueyue just chuckled, "I'm not afraid, it's just that you don't know how to stay still and you want to drag me into making trouble with you."
"If I wasn't worried that the general would be disgusted by your pig face, I might have slapped you to pieces today."
Yuan Xueyue’s words made Lin Yan’er feel scared!
For the first time, she felt the pressure of this powerful force. Everyone in the mansion had to listen to her, except for the old lady's orders!
Guo Lianglian had just returned home, and her status as an aunt was not yet familiar to her. How could she be as comfortable as Yuan Xueyue's status as the mistress?
This was the first time that Lin Yan'er experienced firsthand the status of being a mistress!
Guo Lianglian was shocked and asked, "How dare you hit someone in front of me?"
Yuan Xueyue bowed respectfully and said,
"My dear sister, you have just arrived at the General's Mansion, so you don't know that I am the one who makes all the decisions in this mansion. She is just the General's new concubine. My dear sister, please don't let her fool you."
Guo Lianglian, “…”
Lin Yan'er said, "No! Aunt, please help me. Madam is trying to attack me! The general will definitely help me when he comes back!"
Guo Lianglian remained speechless. Apart from Caichan and Qingliu who were by her side, was there anyone else in the mansion whom she could really order around?
Yuan Xueyue said coldly,
"Stop howling. For the general's sake, I won't move against you so quickly. Before you step into the opera house, you need to weigh your own weight. Do you understand?"
It's bad enough that he's disrespectful to Guo Liangxian, the old lady, in front of her on weekdays, but now he wants to show off by using my old lady as an excuse?
You take yourself too seriously!
Ju Niu'er was full of admiration. Madam finally took action again!
Lin Yan'er lowered her arrogance and dared not speak nonsense.
After sending the aunt away and driving away Lin Yan'er, Yuan Xueyue ordered Cuiping to replace the rocking chair. The craftsman in the front yard was the most capable.
Cuiping received the order and went to make arrangements.
Ju Niu'er said, "Madam, you should have done this a long time ago! I was angry for you when I saw her riding on your head before!"
Yuan Xueyue became indifferent and said disapprovingly,
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's more than enough to deal with her alone. We need someone to win over to curb her arrogance. Otherwise, she really thinks she can deal with me."
He was not in a hurry to deal with Lin Yan'er because he felt it was unnecessary in front of Guo Liangxian and the old lady.
Those two people protected him with their lives!
Didn’t Ju Niu’er’s jealous complaint last time, as well as the scene in front of the Pear Garden, lead to nothing?
What's more, the previous false accusation against Xingger was ultimately left unresolved.
Yuan Xueyue had seen all this clearly a long time ago.
"So Madam knew about it? It seems I was worrying too much. I thought Madam really wanted her to abuse her power." Ju Niuer breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Xueyue was silent.
It's not that I'm worrying too much. Doing this will just make Lin Yan'er even angrier.
Her ambition and resentment will only grow greater, and she will want more power!
Otherwise, if Yuan Xueyue really had to struggle for more than ten years, she wouldn't have the time to fuel Lin Yan'er's ambition!
Yuan Xueyue wanted to leave as soon as possible, which would only more effectively arouse the dissatisfaction of her opponents.
You have to be a little careful, otherwise if you are not careful, you will be plotted against.
It was getting close to evening.
When Guo Liangxian returned home, Xingger was also brought back by the servants.
The news spread quickly, and it was all about Guo Lianglian’s dissatisfaction with Yuan Xueyue!
Not only are they faced with the dilemma of being both a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, but the relationship between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law is also hostile, which is commonplace in their family.
But right now in the general's mansion, the greatest power still lies with the old lady.
Soon, after everyone finished their dinner, they were arranged to sit in Zhongsi Hall.
Nian looked at her daughter who had just returned for less than three days and had not had enough rest yet, but she was already looking for trouble with her daughter-in-law, and saw how calmly her daughter-in-law handled the situation!
At present, Zhuangzi and Xingger in the mansion are all dependent on Yuan Xueyue's handling of the matter.
Unless Nian had absolutely no choice, she would not scold Yuan Xueyue too much.
Before Nian could speak, Lin Yan'er lay in Guo Liangxian's arms with grievance, and acted coquettishly in front of Nian,
"General, your wife was so mean today! She hit me in the face. Look, it hurts!"
Lin Yan'er looked aggrieved and tears started falling!
Guo Liangxian held it in his hands and looked at it, with heartache in his eyes.
He said, "Mother, although I don't know the reason, but isn't it a little inappropriate for Xueyue to act so rashly?"
Nian, "..."
As more people come along, there are more things to do.
Guo Lianglian looked around, waiting for the opportunity to speak!
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Nian thought for a moment and said,
"...It's only right for the mistress to teach her concubine a lesson. Besides, it's just a spanking, so it won't cause any trouble."
She is just a concubine, uneducated, unruly, and not pregnant. What justice do you want from her?
Nian was dissatisfied.
Lin Yan'er felt even more sad when she heard this. "General! You have to make a decision for me! Otherwise, I really can't live anymore..."
Such crying caused Nian's disgust.
"If you can't live, then die. What's the point of crying all day long?"
As she spoke, Nian glanced at Yuan Xueyue. She still looked indifferent and unmoved!
She doesn't care at all that her husband loves another woman!
After hearing what Nian said, Lin Yan'er's voice was choked, and she sobbed softly, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Nian said to Yuan Xueyue,
"Xueyue, what happened today?"
Yuan Xueyue said, "You can ask your aunt. She will know everything."
The words were left to Guo Lianglian, and the situation turned around in an instant!
Guo Lianglian was stunned for a moment, and did not react quickly, her tone hesitant.
Nian asked, "Liang Lian, what happened?"
Guo Lianglian lowered her head and said, "Mother, I don't know..."
She hadn't figured out how to convince her mother about Xing'er's matter, so of course she couldn't tell anyone else about it.
As for Lin Yan'er's affairs, what does it have to do with me?
She is just a concubine. What can I, as her aunt, do to help her?
Lin Yan'er didn't expect Guo Lianglian to be so cowardly. She gave up the best chance to deal with Yuan Xueyue!
