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...
Nian's steps were a little too fast, and Mother Cui could hardly support her.
"Old lady, please slow down!"
But Nian couldn't wait any longer, and only felt relieved when she saw her son Guo Liangxian come home with her own eyes!
"Son!"
"Mother!" Guo Liangxian came up to her quickly and said with a happy face,
"It's done! It's done! Prince Xian has agreed to help with the farm, and our family will have a good harvest!"
Nian's face was filled with excitement. "Great! That's great! I knew my son was the best!"
Guo Liangxian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yuan Xueyue who was about to pass by and said,
"It's Xueyue. She has made a great contribution. We had a very pleasant conversation with the Xian King."
Nian glanced over, her eyes slightly hesitant, but she didn't deny it. "Okay, okay, you're all good. Go in quickly, wash your hands, and take a break before eating."
Mother Cui raised her hand and said, "General, Madam, please follow me."
The maids and servants in the mansion were all busy!
Tonight's family dinner is very lively.
For the first time ever, Nian also asked Lin Yan'er from the side courtyard to come over.
In terms of status, you will soon be promoted!
The seat should have been arranged, but Lin Yan'er sat directly in the mistress's seat!
Guo Liangxian glanced at it but didn't say anything.
Yuan Xueyue smiled faintly in her heart and went to sit at the next seat. Next to her were Ju Niu'er and Xing Ge'er.
"Why are you sitting in your mother's seat?" Xingger asked anxiously, pointing at Lin Yaner.
Nian happened to walk in as well. Seeing this scene and Xingger's words, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Yan'er coldly!
Nian said, "A wild girl? You don't know the rules!"
Lin Yan'er pretended to be wronged and leaned towards Guo Liangxian.
"General~ I just wanted to be by your side and serve you... but I didn't know this was the position of a lady."
"Still talking? Get out of here!" Nian said coldly.
I've already asked Cui's mother to call her over, but she's still trying to steal the show?
"General, I don't want to leave you!" Lin Yan'er had tears in her eyes and looked extremely weak.
Guo Liangxian lowered his voice and said,
"Mother, she is still weak, it's just right for her to be with her son."
Nian shouted, "How rude! Don't you have any servants in this mansion? You are the head of the family, so you should sit in a position that suits your status!"
As she spoke, Nian did not forget to glance in Yuan Xueyue's direction to see what her expression meant.
Just a glance, Yuan Xueyue was sitting next to him, without any movement.
"Xueyue, come and sit here!" Nian pointed at the seat occupied by Lin Yan'er.
Guo Liangxian had no choice but to comfort Lin Yan'er,
"Go ahead, this is the Madam's place, you can't be ignorant of the rules, be obedient!"
As he said this, Guo Liangxian gave her a look.
What I mean is, just be patient, as long as she is in your heart, that’s all!
Lin Yan'er stood up helplessly, bowed to the old lady and apologized, then sat down at the seat next to her.
The seat next to me is only one seat away from Ju Niu'er!
The position occupied by Lin Yan'er in front was on the right side of Guo Liangxian, which should have been the position of the mistress, and the left side was the position of the old lady.
Ju Niuer rolled her eyes,
"What a big deal! The position of mistress is not something that anyone can sit in."
Xingger was also in a bad mood. Looking at Lin Yaner who appeared suddenly, he deliberately leaned towards Ju Nuer.
After sitting down, there were six people at the table, but Lin Yan'er was the only one sitting at the edge, feeling lonely!
Nian looked at the table full of delicacies and said with a smile,
"Eat. Liangxian has the help of King Xian, and his future life will be better!"
Everyone picked up their chopsticks, and each of them had a maid serving them.
Lin Yan'er was dissatisfied and kept looking at Guo Liangxian opposite her, hoping that he would say something!
Guo Liangxian ate quietly, having already noticed the eager look in Lin Yan'er's eyes.
But he didn't want to say it so quickly. After half of the meal, the maid brought a handkerchief, and he wiped his mouth and said,
"Mother, in a couple of days, Brother Xiao Zhao will take me to the village to divide the land and prepare the personnel. The palace will also provide some money."
Nian nodded in understanding, feeling very satisfied!
Nian said, "Well, it's only a matter of time. Now that everything is peaceful, we have to do some Zhuangzi."
Guo Liangxian said again,
"However, Yan'er hasn't recovered yet. Can you provide for her with the concubine's share first? The mansion is not short of that little money, right?"
As soon as she said that, Nian's eyes suddenly became strange, and she frowned and said, "After all, you want to take her in as soon as possible, right?"
Guo Liangxian: "Yes."
Nian turned to look at Yuan Xueyue and asked, "Xueyue, what do you think?"
I mean, I wanted her to refuse.
A concubine who had not yet entered the house openly challenged the rules and dignity of the general's mansion several times and placed herself above the mistress.
Nian had long been fed up with it, but she couldn't see through Yuan Xueyue's thoughts!
As the mistress of a house, why don’t you care about it?
Allow your husband to dote on his concubine at will?
Will he be able to ride on the old lady's head once he is admitted into the family someday?
Nian would never let Lin Yan'er succeed in such a shameful thing!
"General, it's up to the mother-in-law to make the decision. Once it's decided, I will take care of it in detail."
Yuan Xueyue lowered her eyes and said without showing too much emotion.
So what if she cares? It was the same in her previous life, but she became an unreasonable lady!
Now that I think about it, I was worrying too much for nothing!
Instead of stopping them, it’s better to let Guo Liangxian and Lin Yan’er die!
If a concubine who doesn't know the rules comes to the house, it will sooner or later cause a big fuss!
"You..." Nian hesitated to speak.
But Guo Liangxian kept looking over, trying to seek consent!
Now only Nian refuted, which seemed a bit unreasonable.
Ju Niuer leaned forward, as if she wanted to say something.
Nian said, "Niuniu, would you like to have another sister to serve Liangxian with you?"
When Ju Niuer heard this, she immediately became interested.
"No! Girl, don't!"
"What's the point of it being more or less? The general now lives in Miss Lin's side courtyard and rarely even sets foot in the Pear Garden!"
"Even after taking a concubine, Miss Lin is even more unscrupulous!" Ju Niu'er has a strong temper and revealed the scandal in one sentence.
Nian's face darkened.
Mother Cui also often came to tell me that Guo Liangxian rarely went to the opera house to develop his relationship with Yuan Xueyue!
After coming back, he was busy flirting with Lin Yan'er!
With a bang!
Nian slammed her palm on the table, shocking and confusing everyone in the room.
Ju Niuer was stunned.
Nian said, "You can't take two concubines in one month!"
"The reputation of our General's Mansion cannot be ruined because of you!"
"Liangxian, mother knows you love her dearly, but you have to consider the overall situation and not let this bitch do whatever she wants!"
These words shook the hearts of everyone present.
Especially Lin Yan'er, she was so angry that her teeth were itching!
This old man, why is he so pedantic!
Guo Liangxian said,
"Yes, son is not going to take another concubine right away, but first let Yan'er recover her health. Mother, please don't misunderstand me. Son will not bring disgrace to our family."
Nian snorted coldly, "That's good to know! Madam Cui will tell her subordinates to take good care of Miss Lin!"
After that, no one discussed it anymore.
