Upon hearing that the Minister's wife was looking for a doctor for her son, the Minister also came to visit.
The general's wife knew the minister's secret, so when she saw him coming, she was very angry, but she still had to maintain her composure on the surface.
She immediately winked at the Shangshu's wife and said, "Sister Meizhuang, to be honest, your son's legs cannot be cured. I'm sorry I can't do anything about it."
The Shangshu's wife also understood what the general's wife meant, so she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried, "My poor son..."
"Madam, it's okay. We will just take care of him for the rest of his life." When the Shangshu heard the general's wife say that her eldest son could not be cured, an unknown color flashed in his eyes.
But after hearing what the general's wife said, the minister's wife obviously became wary of the man beside her.
She also thought back and realized that over the years, the Shangshu's attitude towards her was indeed impatient and he often did not go home.
She thought he was busy with work, but who would have thought that he might be doing something wrong to her outside.
Thinking of this, the Shangshu’s wife felt chilled.
"Let's set off back to the capital." said the Shangshu.
"You go back first. I will bring the child back to Beijing when I get back. I want to let the child stay at the border for a few days first." The Shangshu's wife said.
The Shangshu knew that his son's condition could not be cured, so he let his wife stay at the border. This way, she would give up completely and would not look for a doctor to treat her son's leg.
This cost a lot of money in vain, even though the money came from the Shangshu's wife's private treasury.
"How can this be possible? You are pregnant now, how can I go back with peace of mind?" The Shangshu said very considerately.
[Humph, a Phoenix man must have sweet talk, really good at coaxing! ]
Mu Yan was about to vomit after hearing this.
The general's wife couldn't bear to listen and felt like vomiting.
"I know my husband cares about me, but you are busy with official duties, so you should return to Beijing first and don't delay your career." The Shangshu's wife was very understanding.
"Okay, ma'am. I'll leave this person behind to escort you back to the capital." said the Shangshu.
"Yes." The Shangshu's wife nodded.
[She can't wait to go back to Beijing to find her lover. She wishes the Shangshu's wife could stay at the border forever! ]
Mu Yan saw through the old fox's wishful thinking at a glance.
The general's wife wanted to tell her daughter everything she felt.
After seeing off the Shangshu, the general's wife settled the Shangshu's wife and her children in the general's mansion.
"Sister, I'm sorry to bother you." The Shangshu's wife said apologetically.
"Don't bother." said the general's wife.
…
The servant in the old lady's garden left the general's wife, the minister's wife and a man with a leg disease as guests in the general's mansion, and then went to complain.
When the old lady found out, she gnashed her teeth and drove all her grandchildren to live together in a garden.
She also couldn't accept the fact that the general's wife was unwilling to arrange a marriage for Mu Xuelian, and she felt resentful. So she asked people to spread rumors that the eldest son of the General Zhenbei had offended the prince because of a crime in the court, and was exiled to the border.
The reason why she spread the rumor was that she learned that the daughter of a border merchant and General Mu's eldest son were getting married soon.
There are merchants over there, with a lot of gold, silver and treasures.
Besides, the daughter of a border merchant is an only child. Wouldn't marrying her be like marrying a mountain of gold and silver?
It would be disastrous if her grandson married the daughter of a border merchant!
Yes, only her grandson is worthy of the daughter of a border merchant!
Soon, the news that the eldest son of General Zhenbei offended the crown prince and was exiled to Bianguangyi reached the ears of merchants at the border.
Bian Shang was also worried about being implicated, so he decided to cancel the engagement instead of visiting the two families to discuss the marriage.
"Brother Sun, what did you say?"
The general's wife was shocked. The childhood engagement she had arranged for her eldest son was going to be broken off?
The daughter said that the eldest son was going to marry a princess.
Still worried about this child marriage.
Now someone else comes to cancel the engagement.
Is it such a coincidence?
"Madam General, I have made my point very clear. The marriage between Zishi and my daughter is off."
The general's wife's face fell.
"Now that Zishi is no longer a popular figure around the crown prince, and has been exiled to the border, my Caixue is the only daughter of the Sun family, how can she marry a criminal! Let's call this marriage off!"
Even if he was the General Zhenbei, he was powerless to help when his son got into trouble.
He would not let his daughter marry into this hell.
This child marriage was arranged by Brother Sun at that time.
He is the one who regrets now.
It would be a lie to say don't be angry.
Besides, when was her son exiled?
Where did you hear these gossips?
"Madam General, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your son has been exiled, and you're still hiding it from us, wanting my daughter to suffer with him. Don't you feel guilty?"
"This marriage must be called off today!"
"Cancel the engagement..." The general's wife didn't know what to do for a moment.
Just at this moment, I heard my daughter's voice.
[Mother, call it off! This marriage must be called off. If not, how can my brother marry the princess? ]
[If my eldest brother marries her, there will be no peace in his life. She is lazy and insane. Once provoked, she will beat and insult my eldest brother. She is not a faithful wife and keeps a gigolo outside. She is so angry that my eldest brother is almost dead.]
The fates of her brothers were tragic...
It's death anyway.
The way of dying is different.
The general's wife shuddered slightly.
Her child is actually going to suffer the sin here!
She took a deep breath and said directly, "Cancel the engagement!"
"But it wasn't your Sun family that broke off Zi Shi's engagement, it was Zi Shi that broke off Sun Caixue's engagement!"
"My son will be a very useful person in the future. There is really no need for him to be tied down by love affairs! If you cancel the engagement just because my son made a mistake, your daughter is not worthy of my son!"
The general's wife ordered her men to tear up the childhood marriage contract.
[Mom! That’s awesome! ]
[Don't worry, the Sun family's border merchants will soon be ruined by someone, and it's none other than the old lady's eldest grandson! Those rumors were spread by the old lady's family.]
The general's wife frowned when she heard this.
I didn’t expect it was my mother-in-law again!
Mother-in-law, if you are heartless, don't blame me for being disloyal.
[Mom, a good show is going on. Stay calm. This is their retribution.]
The general’s wife was stunned. Is there something better to watch?
Just when I was wondering what the show was about, the old lady came out with her eldest grandson and others.
"It's you!"
Sun Caixue, who had remained silent, looked shy when she saw the man coming out of the hall.
"Cai Xue, do you know him?" asked Sun Fushang puzzledly.
Sun Caixue nodded, "Dad, my daughter fell into the water last night, and it was him who saved me..."
The old lady's eldest grandson was also very promising. He had a pretty face and was very attractive to girls.
Mu Yan knew without asking that Sun Caixue had set her eyes on the old lady's eldest grandson.
"Dad, I want to marry him." Sun Caixue said shyly to Sun Fushang.
Mr. Sun had only one daughter and he doted on her in every way.
Now she wants to marry the man who saved her life rather than marrying a criminal.
Mr. Sun agreed immediately.
"Daughter, Dad respects your wishes." said Sun Fushang.
The wealthy businessman Sun resented General Mu and his wife for concealing the fact that their son was a criminal, which almost caused their daughter to jump into the fire pit. Now he has agreed to the marriage of the eldest grandson of the Mu family, which may stimulate General Mu and his wife.
The general's wife thought it was nothing.
But she breathed a sigh of relief thinking that her son was out of danger.
He just looked unhappy on his face, just for show.
It was better that the marriage was called off, so that her son could meet the princess of the time without any worries.
