If the old lady is willing to speak up this time, even if my cousin doesn't like her, he will probably still marry her for the sake of his grandmother.

But no one expected that Gu Li would bring a woman back with him this time.

Su Yan felt a heavy weight in her heart the moment she saw Liu Yin.

If my cousin marries that woman he brought back, wouldn't all her years in the General's Mansion be a joke?

If the general's mansion has a mistress, how will she continue to stay in the general's mansion?

Are we just waiting to be at the mercy of others?

If her cousin were to marry someone else, Su Yan knew without a doubt that many people would laugh at her!

Even the servants in the general's mansion are no exception!

Even after hearing the old lady's comforting words, Su Yan still couldn't calm down.

Because Liuyin is very beautiful, and she's the woman my cousin likes.

Even if she were a concubine, Su Yan did not want her to enter the General's Mansion.

Fortunately, the woman was sensible and left on her own.

Knowing that Liu Yin had left on her own, Su Yan went to the old lady and hinted that she should have someone check on the courtyard where Liu Yin was staying.

That's when people discovered that all the precious jade artifacts and jewelry in that room were gone.

At this moment, the old lady's face darkened as she watched her grandson frantically searching for the woman.

Who is this person he brought back? I originally thought she was a daughter from a good family!

Thankfully, she left on her own.

If someone were to enter the Gu family, who knows what kind of chaos would ensue.

"Li'er, that woman took all the valuables from the house. Don't you understand what that means?"

Seeing the disbelief on her grandson's face, the old lady felt heartbroken.

This was the first woman he had ever liked.

Gu Li didn't believe him and retorted, "Grandmother, Ayin isn't that kind of person. She doesn't like those things."

The old lady laughed upon hearing this, then scolded angrily, "Do you believe that? What woman doesn't love silks, satins, and jewelry?"

"You've been blinded by beauty and lost your mind."

The old lady also resented her grandson for being so disappointing.

He's only come back once every few years. That day, all she said was that she wanted him to marry Su Yan.

She also said that if he really liked the girl, he could take her as a concubine, since the general's mansion would not mistreat her.

But in the following days, he never came to see her again, and he didn't even enter the courtyard.

The old lady had been feeling uneasy these past few days. Of course, she loved her grandson dearly; after all, he was her only family.

As for Su Yan, they were still somewhat distant.

The old lady later regretted her decision, realizing that her grandson might return to the border at any time.

She wouldn't want her grandson to have a falling out with her because of this.

If you want to marry that girl, then go ahead and marry her.

As for Su Yan, if she doesn't want to get married, she can stay by his side.

But before she could tell Gu Li about it, Liu Yin disappeared.

She's just a woman who's greedy for money; what's there to worry about?

Gu Li rushed into the room and saw that, indeed, all the jewelry he had given to Liu Yin was gone.

Has she left?

Because he didn't want to be a concubine?

Gu Li suddenly recalled the slap Liu Yin had given her back then; she had looked genuinely angry at the time.

The man unconsciously reached up to touch his cheek, his expression slowly darkening.

She's already his woman, where else does she think she can run off to?

The thought of Liu Yin's beautiful face showing a shy expression in front of another man made Gu Li clench his fists.

They're just after money; the general's mansion has plenty.
