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...
Her family was broken up when she was young, so she didn't know the importance of these etiquettes. Later, she wandered around and just tried to please whoever she liked without paying attention to other people's feelings.
But the female general in front of her just didn't like her.
Especially Lin Yan'er's attitude, which showed her arrogance and rudeness!
The female general disliked such women the most. She believed that women should either pick up a gun and not lose to men, or stay in the boudoir and behave like a little woman by following the rules!
And the Lin Yan'er in front of him is nothing!
Lin Yan'er bowed impatiently and said,
"Forgive me, but my general won't allow me to talk to others, for fear of offending them."
Lin Yan'er's straightforward words made the female general even more curious.
The female general asked, "Your general?"
"It's Guo Liangxian. He came here to find you to do something." Lin Yan'er also said it bluntly, and didn't know how to beat around the bush.
The female general understood instantly.
"Oh! Are you trying to establish connections? Got it." The female general turned around and left, leaving them standing there in confusion.
I thought nothing happened.
Who would have thought that whenever Guo Liangxian went somewhere to chat with someone, there would be a few people whispering around him!
The news spread in the military camp, and the purpose of Guo Liangxian coming here was covered up.
Pull it open hard!
That person is the favorite deputy general under the command of the general. It’s the female general’s good deed!
So much so that after Guo Liangxian finished his work, he came over and took Lin Yan'er away!
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never take Lin Yan'er out again, but the more he thought about it on the way, the angrier he became, and he blamed her all the way home.
Despite this, he still didn't want to touch her.
Zhongsi Hall.
Guo Liangxian explained the whole story, hoping that when Nian got the news, her anger would subside in advance.
But Nian didn't care at all, she smiled and shook her head.
"Look at you, what can I say to you?"
Guo Liangxian glanced around and asked in confusion, "Isn't Xueyue coming to Zhongsi Hall to dine with her mother now?"
Mother Cui explained,
"General, my wife has been punished to stay in the ancestral hall to reflect on her mistakes. She will not be back for the time being."
"What!" Guo Liangxian was shocked.
The mother and son blocked each other's way, thinking there would be room for turning around, but they didn't expect that neither of them was a good character!
Nian was quite helpless. She had thought her son would trust Lin Yan'er so much that he wouldn't cause any trouble even if he went there. Unexpectedly...
"Don't mention Xueyue. How come nothing bad happened the last time you took her to the manor?" Nian asked puzzledly.
Guo Liangxian said, "Last time it was Zhuangzi, and they were all slaves and hired servants."
"This time it's a military camp, and the people coming in and out are either rich or noble. My son doesn't know how Yan'er offended them."
Zhuangzi can walk around with us, but the military camp is only a place for family members to stay, so we cannot move around too much.
Therefore, such a scandal happened!
Nian Shi did not see the situation at that time and said indifferently,
"Forget it, you can handle it yourself. It was you who insisted on taking a concubine, so you are the one being blamed now."
"Today I've punished Xing Ge'er enough. I'm tired now. You all should go out now."
Mother Cui came forward and asked them to leave.
After seeing some movement here, Cuiping left early through the back door.
In the ancestral hall, Cuiping recounted what she had seen, sighing, "That Aunt Yan is just a country girl, she doesn't know the rules at all! How could she have offended the military commander in this important military camp?"
Yuan Xueyue said with a look of understanding,
"She's not a country bumpkin, and she hasn't completely offended me. The general always leaves room for maneuver. No matter how much he hates her, he still feels soft-hearted towards her."
Guo Liangxian is just like this. He can't get the upper hand everywhere, but he doesn't offend people everywhere either. He travels around and ends up being laughed at!
Yuan Xueyue knew everything about her husband's situation in his previous life, so she let him be.
He indulges whomever he likes.
Cui Ping wondered, "But I didn't see any hatred on the General's face. He was just angry. He left with Aunt Niu halfway."
Yuan Xueyue said, "If the mansion sends someone to ask me to go back, you must refuse."
Cuiping was surprised, "Why?"
"Just refuse, don't worry too much."
After Yuan Xueyue finished speaking, she continued to kowtow.
These two days, Yuan Xueyue was not in the opera house, and Xingger was also tripped up by the small family rules, making it impossible for him to keep up with the pace of the school.
Even if Yuan Xueyue was sternly teaching him, Xingger would still find opportunities to make jokes!
It would be better to find some peace and quiet in the ancestral hall.
Early in the morning, just as Madam had expected, Mother Cui came to the ancestral hall to ask, "How is Madam?"
Cui Ping replied, "Madam, everything is fine. Please kowtow to the ancestors sincerely. Please rest assured, Madam Cui."
Mother Cui smiled and said,
"I know, I know. How dare this old servant question Madam? Look, the old lady has something to ask you to go back, so she specifically asked this old servant to come and ask you."
After only two days, people arrived.
Cui Ping said, "No need. Madam likes the quietness here. Madam said she hasn't thought it through yet and won't agree with what the old lady did."
Mother Cui joked, "Look at you, little girl. You are not the worm in Madam's stomach. What Madam thinks, you should tell me face to face."
Cuiping still said,
"Mother Cui, please go back. Madam is performing etiquette and it is not appropriate to interrupt, otherwise the ancestors will blame you!"
This made Cui's mother angry, "You little girl!"
"How long will the etiquette take? I can wait!"
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Xueyue came out wearing a sackcloth robe and a respectful attitude.
Although she was wearing linen clothes, her demeanor was dignified and polite.
When she saw Madam Cui, she knew to respect the servants around the old lady and bowed, "Greetings, Madam Cui."
Mother Cui came forward in surprise and saluted.
"Madam, you are too polite. Please go back with me and ask Cuiping to clean up quickly."
Yuan Xueyue was puzzled. "What does this mean? Mother Cui, please tell me something."
Mother Cui said, "The old lady wants to see you, so please come back soon."
Yuan Xueyue said, "Let's go back in two days. It's not reasonable for us to come and go as we please in front of our ancestors. If we neglect them, they will blame the old lady and the general for being unfilial."
"Although I am a daughter-in-law, I am already a member of the Guo family. Naturally, I have to consider the interests of the Guo family and cannot let the old lady do whatever she wants."
This rebuttal left Mother Cui speechless.
Nian was helpless. She had invited the mistress out, and now she had to invite her back in just two days, but she couldn't get her to come back!
"Madam, how should I respond to this?" Mother Cui was helpless.
"Mother Cui, just tell the truth. I believe that after hearing it, mother-in-law will know what is more important."
"The Guo family's farm is important, Xing'er's studies are important, and the trivial matters in the mansion are also important, but none of them are as important as neglecting the affairs of our ancestors, right?" Yuan Xueyue said.
Mother Cui, “…”
After hearing these words, Mother Cui had no choice but to bow and leave.
Seeing this, Cuiping couldn't help but admire her.
"Ma'am, how long are we going to stay here?"
