Yaoyu Pavilion.

The roses that bloom three times a year are about to wither and die.

Once upon a time, Ju Niu'er was a servant in the mansion. She couldn't stand the fact that Lin Yan'er, a foreign woman of unknown identity, occupied the general's position.

She also wanted to become a young mistress one day, but unexpectedly, this wish was quickly fulfilled by the Madam...

But the year the roses bloomed, my lady was gone.

Ju Niuer looked at the roses that were gradually withering in front of her and fell into deep thought.

It's like seeing something and thinking of someone.

The moment she became a concubine, the lady chose a yard for her and also arranged her favorite roses for her!

Madam is so thoughtful. The other roses in the backyard of the mansion are not as numerous as those in Yaoyu Pavilion. They are so pleasing to the eyes!

Eventually the flowers bloom, but the lady is gone; the flowers fall, but the lady is gone too.

There were footsteps behind her. Ju Niuer thought it was the maid carrying her daughter Nian Jieer. She smiled lightly and said,

"These flowers are almost all withered. I wonder how Madam is doing in Lucheng."

"Will her father treat her well, or will the prince show favor to the Yuan family?"

"I was chatting with Madam in the teahouse earlier. Her mother's family was brutally slandered and implicated. Now the dust has settled, and it's time for Master Yuan to wake up."

"Look, these roses were arranged for me by Madam..."

As Ju Niu'er spoke, she suddenly turned her head and saw Guo Liangxian's broad figure walking towards her.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes as she asked, "Why is the general here?"

She thought it was a maid holding Nian Jie'er, but she didn't expect it to be Guo Liangxian.

No one informed me when I arrived. I deserve to be scolded!

"You said that this was planted by Xueyue?" Guo Liangxian pointed to the big rose in front of him.

Ju Niu'er bowed and said, "No, it's not that, but it was arranged for me by my wife herself. She knew that Niu'er liked roses, so she spent money to plant them."

"I hope the general won't blame me. The girl just wants this courtyard to be..." better.

Before Ju Niu'er could finish, Guo Liangxian said, "Yes, it looks good."

"She picked the right one."

Ju Niu'er, "......?"

"General, why are you up today? Why do you have time to stroll around Yaoyu Pavilion?"

Guo Liangxian said indifferently, his face bleak, "No matter how big the mansion is, it's still just this small. I've already walked all the way around, so I came to see what's wrong with you."

"Where's Sister Nian?"

Ju Niu'er replied, "Sister Nian is in the room. I thought it was a maid carrying her here, but I didn't expect it was you, General."

Guo Liangxian waved his hand and walked towards the master room of Yaoyu Pavilion.

The people in the east and west wing rooms of Yaoyu Pavilion also heard the noise and came out one after another.

The maid stopped Jiang Tingting and Meng Huihui outside the door.

The two of them still haven't gotten pregnant, and they haven't had any chance to get pregnant during the six months of confinement at the Guo Mansion.

Guo Liangxian rarely favored them, and the number of times was very few!

In the house.

When the maid saw the general and Aunt Niu coming in, she bowed slightly and retreated.

Guo Liangxian took a few steps forward and looked at Nian Jie'er who was sleeping soundly in the quilt. A long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Ju Niu'er whispered, "Sister Nian has just fallen asleep, General, you'd better go out."

Guo Liangxian did not give up, and silently reached out to touch his half-year-old daughter. Her face was rosy and chubby, so cute!

Seeing the general like this, Ju Niuer did not stop him.

In an instant, Nian Jie'er opened her black and white eyes, looked at Guo Liangxian with a dazed look, and called out in a babbling voice!

Guo Liangxian looked at her and happily opened his arms to pick up Nian Jie'er!

"General." Ju Niuer called.

Outside, the concubines also began to shout, "Is the general in there?"

Guo Liangxian had a rare moment of peace and quiet. Upon hearing the other noises, he ordered the servant beside him, "Go out and tell them to leave."

"yes."

It was a rare sight to see Guo Liangxian reject Jiang Tingting, and even reject his former favorite concubine Meng Huihui!

Ju Niu'er smiled and said, "General, you miss me, so hold me for a while longer."

Although it was not clear what happened to the general, as soon as he fell ill, he came to Yaoyu Pavilion first.

But as long as he still thinks about Nian Jie'er, Ju Nuer will still be comforted.

Guo Liangxian looked at Nian Jie'er who was spinning around in his arms with her eyes open. She was his only daughter.

Xing'er in the mansion was first a nephew, then an adopted son, and then a nephew again.

Ji Ge'er and Song Ge'er were both adopted sons, and could be considered legitimate sons.

But the ones you miss the most and are closest to are still your own children.

For example, Nian Jie'er in front of us, the daughter of Guo Liangxian.

There was soon no movement outside the house. The servant drove the two concubines away and told them to go back to their own rooms and not to come out and bother the general.

Zhongsi Hall.

After hearing the news that Guo Liangxian had recovered, everyone knew that they were going to Yaoyu Pavilion to see their daughter. Nian's mouth corners also slightly raised, and she smiled,

"Great, that's great! After this New Year, the Guo Mansion will be free from restrictions. How can we not cheer up?"

"This Guo Mansion ultimately depends on my son!"

Mother Cui echoed, "Yes, old lady, the general will not let you down. He is just conserving his energy."

Nian chuckled, "I hope so."

"Is there any news from Lucheng?"

After saying this, Mother Cui carefully leaned close to Nian's ear and whispered, "There's news over there that the prince is engaged to the eldest daughter of the Yuan family."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nian's hand holding the Buddhist beads tightened, and all the beads scattered to the ground, making a crisp sound of ding-dong, which spread to every corner.

“…”

Nian was completely stunned.

This news is undoubtedly the biggest blow!

This means that after losing Yuan Xueyue, the Guo family has no chance of finding a better and more capable wife who can manage the household?

Really, you lost the watermelon and went to pick up sesame seeds?

Seeing Nian's surprised reaction, Mother Cui immediately said, "Maybe it's just hearsay, who knows!"

"Such unreliable news, I don't know how that servant dared to spread it. I will go and deal with him right now!"

Having said that, Mother Cui was about to leave to deal with the servants that the Guo family had secretly sent out!

Nian waved her hand and stopped him, saying, "Forget it."

"It should be true."

As she spoke, Nian's other hand holding the crutch trembled slightly, her eyes trembled, and her eyebrows twitched, indicating that something bad was about to happen to the Guo family!

Lucheng.

The Wang family and the Yuan family got married, an auspicious date was set, and both sides arranged the venue.

This news was no longer a strange thing in Lucheng. The reputation of the Yuan Mansion was greatly enhanced, and a lot of gossip was also passed back to the imperial palace in the capital.

The emperor looked at the memorials that were constantly being handed to him, as well as Dai Yixuan's handwritten envelope, and couldn't help but frown!

Is this Thirteenth Brother serious about this?

The most unwilling women of marriageable age in Lucheng have lost all faith. Let alone becoming a princess, they now begin to fantasize about becoming a concubine in the palace!

At least, the treatment is excellent.

Only some women do this. Most of them still dream of becoming the legal wife and not serving two husbands.

Yuan Xueyue took advantage of all this.

In the Li Garden in the backyard of Yuan Mansion.

As Yuan Xueyue saw the wedding date approaching, her heart couldn't help but tremble!

"Congratulations, Miss. You will be marrying the prince soon."
