Chapter 190 Is it because I am a woman?
General Ji was originally a rough old man, and Yu Fangfang was so shameless, so he naturally would not treat her well.
When Yu Fangfang heard this, she felt humiliated.
"Father." Uncle Yan Ping saluted Duke Ningguo with his fists clasped.
Yu Banxia also walked to Uncle Yan Ping and bowed: "Yu Banxia greets Duke Ningguo."
"Why do our family members call me Duke Ningguo? Since you and...Uncle Ping haven't married yet, you can just call me uncle." Duke Ningguo Yan Hancheng turned around.
Yu Banxia's eyes lit up slightly, what a handsome and energetic uncle.
He is 70% similar to Uncle Yan Ping, except that he has more beard on his philtrum.
If they shaved their beards and went out together, people would believe they were brothers, because the father and son looked too similar and their looks were too outstanding.
"Banxia greets Uncle Yan." Yu Banxia bowed again.
Yan Hancheng quickly stepped forward and gave him a false support: "Okay, okay, no need to be so polite."
"Old Ji, find someone to throw her out." Yan Hancheng ordered unhappily, then glared at Uncle Yan Ping.
"There are so many strangers living in your house, and you don't strengthen patrols. If they sneak into Xia Xia's yard, you will regret it."
Uncle Yan Ping quickly apologized: "Dad, I know I was wrong."
"Major General, I have admired you for a long time. I come from a poor family and I don't ask for the position of wife or concubine. I just want to stay by your side."
"I beg you to keep me here, General. My reputation is ruined now. If you don't want me, how can I live with myself in the future?"
Ning Hancheng said coldly: "Aren't all these actions your own fault?"
"In my Ningguo Mansion, there is only one wife, no concubines. This is the ancestral precept, so why would I make an exception for you?"
"I will only have Xia Xia as my wife in this life. If I disobey you, God will strike me." The father and son responded at the same time.
Yu Fangfang suddenly lost her temper and was quickly dragged out by two sturdy old women.
"Why, why do other people always have such a good life? Why, why was I born into such a poor family? I just want a good marriage and want to change my fate."
"Why, why are you so cruel to me, God..." I could still hear Yu Fangfang's crying and questioning voice.
General Ji shook his head speechlessly and sighed: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to change her fate, but unfortunately, she used the wrong method and didn't even realize it."
"Okay, everyone has been taken away, so let's stop talking." Yan Hancheng said.
General Ji clasped his fists and took a seat.
Uncle Yan Ping also pulled Yu Banxia to sit down. Yu Banxia said to Yan Hancheng, "Uncle Yan, we can rest assured about the plague. I have already refined the elixir."
"There is still plague in Beirong at the moment, so we dare not attack rashly. They will only be in a worse situation than us."
"But now it's not about the plague. There is a snowstorm right now. Do the people of Broken Jade City have enough food to get through this difficult time?"
Yan Hancheng and General Ji looked at her excitedly: "It's only been two days and you have already succeeded in refining it?"
"Well, the pills are not a problem anymore. We can even use these pills to negotiate with Beirong. I think they will be willing to compromise."
"What we should worry about now is the snowstorm. The people's shelter and food. Is there enough grain in the city to open the granaries?"
"If it's not enough, I can write a letter to my great grandfather. They live in Fenggu County and may be able to help for a while. If not, I will write home and ask Anping Village to think of a way to prepare food and send it over. But distant water cannot quench a nearby fire."
"We still need to prepare early so that when a snowstorm really happens, we won't be passive and caught off guard."
Listening to Yu Banxia's words, Yan Hancheng nodded: "Xia Xia is right, we should prepare early."
General Ji also nodded in agreement, looking at Yu Banxia with eyes full of admiration.
"Shaoqing, you should be more careful with the people who are temporarily staying in your house, and don't let Xia Xia feel wronged." Yan Hancheng stopped there.
Uncle Yan Ping nodded and said that he would take care of it. He had not opened the front yard to welcome the citizens before, but had asked the housekeeper to handle it.
I didn't expect that the woman and her daughter would move in and cause such a thing.
Yan Hancheng stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "There are still things to deal with in the military camp, so your uncle Ji and I will go back first. Xia Xia is sorry that she has wronged you by coming to Suiyu City this time. I have already written to your aunt and asked her to prepare a new betrothal gift for you."
"Uncle, Shaoqing has already given a lot of betrothal gifts, there is no need to spend more."
Yu Banxia quickly spoke, but Yan Hancheng waved his hand and said, "That was given to you by the brat. We were in a hurry before and didn't go to meet the in-laws."
"When the Northern Rong retreat, your aunt and I will go to Anping Village in person to meet with your in-laws and present the betrothal gifts."
Seeing that Yan Hancheng was determined, Yu Banxia had no choice but to agree with a smile: "Okay, then Xia Xia will thank you uncle."
"Hahaha, we are all family, there is nothing to thank for." Yan Hancheng laughed and left General Zhenwei's mansion in a good mood.
Uncle Yan Ping called the housekeeper and asked him to check the background of those living in the mansion.
He drove the Yu father and daughter out of the house, but Yu Fangfang still wanted to make trouble.
Other residents living in the General's Mansion began to panic, fearing that they would be driven out as well.
It was not until the housekeeper arrived and made her actions public that the residents felt relieved. The sharp arrows that had been shot instantly turned into boomerangs and hit her.
"How could you be so evil, girl? The Major General kindly accepted us, but you tried your best to break into the backyard and seduce the Major General?"
"Don't say she's quite capable. She was able to break into the inner house. You want to climb up yourself. Don't hurt us. We just want to get through this cold winter."
"That's right, if you want to die, don't hurt us."
Old Yu was too embarrassed to face everyone: "You are so confused. The housekeeper warned us not to enter the backyard the day we entered the mansion. He also told you clearly that the general's fiancée also lives in the mansion. Why are you so shameless and bring trouble to everyone!"
"I just want to make myself feel better, what did I do wrong?"
"My eldest brother and his friends had it easy. They entered the quarantine area and left you to me to take care of. You and mom didn't care about me at all. You would rather pay the fine than keep me at home and work like a slave."
"What on earth have I done wrong? I'm already seventeen years old. If I don't find a husband, I'll be eighteen next year. I should be sentenced. I don't want to be exiled or become a slave. What on earth have I done wrong?"
"You are obviously wrong. You treat me like this just because I am a woman, right?"
Old Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at her and said angrily, "Evil girl, the reason why we would rather pay the fine than find you a husband is because when you were still in your infancy, my old friend and I agreed on a marriage for you."
