Just when Yuan Xueyue was at a loss, Guo Liangxian received good news!
After taking Ju Niu'er as his concubine, a secret letter was sent from the palace. Xiao Zhao happily paid a visit, and even the old lady was alarmed!
"This is the promise Prince Xian gave you. Tomorrow morning, General Guo will follow the prince into the palace." Xiao Zhao said.
When Guo Liangxian heard this, he was so moved that his blood boiled. He knelt down and said,
"Brother Xiao Zhao, please thank King Xian for me! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Xiao Zhao waved her hand and said, "Ah, these words are polite. You know our prince well. He will do what he promised you. Now that the northwest is pacified and the world is at peace, it is natural to give some comfort to the brothers who have fought so hard."
Guo Liangxian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Brother Xiao Zhao has excellent insights."
“…”
After a brief greeting, Guo Liangxian sent Xiao Zhao away and kowtowed to Nian!
Nian's eyes were filled with tears. "We have news so soon! It seems that it's not the girl who brings us good fortune, but Miss Lin who is blocking your fortune!"
Guo Liangxian said, "...it has nothing to do with her."
After calming down, Guo Liangxian still didn't want to face Lin Yan'er. He didn't know where this baby came from.
It’s a waste of his care!
Yuan Xueyue was silent on the side, she didn't expect that Guo Liangxian could really be treated well by King Xian?
Things don't seem that simple.
"Xing'er has also been studying hard. The teacher at the academy told him that he must learn a few poems. Basic writing skills are still necessary." Nian instructed.
Xing'er lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Lin Yan'er's fuss, Xingge'er's worries came back!
Now it’s Auntie Niu!
Is he still an outsider kid?
After arranging matters for her son and grandson, Nian looked at the two women in front of her and first looked at Yuan Xueyue and said,
"Now that Liangxian has a girl, you two should get along well."
"The position of mistress still belongs to you, Xueyue. Don't mention those estranged things anymore. Liangxian must appreciate it now and promote him immediately. Don't lose more than you gain."
"With every liter of salary, you all need to hire some maids to serve the general, pay more attention to the general, and add prosperity to the mansion." Nian kept nagging.
Ju Niuer listened very carefully and nodded repeatedly.
Yuan Xueyue's mind was in a mess. Nian said what Nian said, and she did her own thing. It had nothing to do with her at all!
Because, as far as she knew, Guo Liangxian's entry into the palace this time was likely to be dangerous!
What appreciation, what reward? If Prince Xian wanted to give it to him, he would have arranged it a few days after he came back. Why would he wait until now?
"Xueyue, do you remember? As the wife of a general, you must behave respectably! I was wrong to report the dowry to the authorities last time. Don't hold a grudge against me. Just let it go." Nian said.
"My mother-in-law is right." Yuan Xueyue responded indifferently.
My mother-in-law in my previous life was the same. She tried to comfort me with all kinds of promises, but what did she do in the end?
She knows it best.
No matter what you say, whoever takes it seriously loses!
"It's too tiring for you to run the mansion alone. When you have time, let Niu'er help you take care of it and give some work to the maids and slaves, especially those who live off the staff in the front yard." Nian knocked on the table and gave detailed instructions.
Ju Niu'er tilted her head and said,
"There are quite a lot of servants in the mansion. It's really tiring for Madam to do all the work alone. Why not let Niu'er help you?"
After hearing what they said, Yuan Xueyue's eyes lit up!
She was looking for a way to let go!
"Okay, Niu'er will help, and mother-in-law will give some advice. This way, it will be much easier for the daughter-in-law." Yuan Xueyue said naturally.
The three of them happily discussed matters at the mansion.
In the dark room in the backyard, Lin Yan'er couldn't wait any longer. When she heard that the general was going to the palace, it was her chance to get out!
That old woman is so vicious, deliberately having people take these leftovers every day!
"Someone, come quickly!"
Lin Yan'er kept knocking on the door, trying to attract the attention of some maids.
A maid approached and said disdainfully, "What are you yelling about? Did you think you were some kind of concubine Yan? Forget it. The general hates you to death."
Lin Yan'er snorted, "I advise you to be nice! The general has me in his heart! I will soon become Concubine Yan!"
The maidservant sneered, "Even in this state, you still want to be a concubine!"
"You! You wait... uh..."
Lin Yan'er did what she said and immediately fell to the ground with white foam coming out of her mouth!
She had been eating poorly and living a poor life these days. Her stomach and body had long been in poor condition, and she had developed a lot of illnesses. If she pinched her neck, she would immediately react!
Rolling eyes, bloodshot!
The maid was frightened and ran away to call the housekeeper!
Nian also heard that Lin Yan'er in the dark room was restless and seeking death, and was planning to kill her.
She is so good that she is seeking death!
Nian originally wanted to torture him and then sell him secretly when Guo Liangxian wasn't paying attention. Now that someone was almost killed, Nian was still very panicked!
"Hurry up, find someone to take a look!" Nian ordered in Zhongsi Hall.
Mother Cui asked someone to do it, as she didn't want to be affected by the bad luck herself!
Little did she know that after the doctor arrived, the maid was guarding outside the door. Lin Yan'er deliberately took the doctor hostage and asked him to find a way to get her out of the house!
"If I stay any longer, I'll die! I want to see the General right away!"
Lin Yan'er pointed the embroidery needle at the doctor's throat and made a harsh remark.
The doctor was frightened and said, "Be careful with your hands! I want it, I want it right away!"
The doctor went out and sent the maid away, asking her to bring some medicinal herbs, tools, etc.
After getting the things, he called a maid away and then asked Lin Yan'er to disguise herself inside!
The other maid was unaware of this and was busy in the kitchen preparing the ingredients the doctor needed.
Although the maid was surprised, she thought that Lin Yan'er was in a coma and nothing would happen!
However, Yuan Xueyue in the opera house, upon hearing Cuiping talk about Lin Yan'er, had already guessed her actions, but remained indifferent.
Cui Ping noticed the subtle expression on Madam's face and asked, "Madam, are you thinking about something?"
Yuan Xueyue said,
"Nothing, I just thought of something. Go find Auntie Niu and ask her to go to the back door."
Cuiping was confused, but did as she was told.
Ju Niuer jumped around in the new courtyard, happily watching the maids packing their things. She wanted to dress up the place beautifully and welcome the general's return!
The maid Bilan greeted Cuiping, and Juniuer asked, "Does the Madam have any instructions?"
Cui Ping said, "Madam asked you to go to the back and take a look. You will find something."
Ju Niu'er looked puzzled, but immediately took her personal maid Bilan with her.
Bilan was a capable maid in the mansion. As soon as Ju Niuer became a household slave, she was made a personal maid.
When I arrived at the back door, it was deserted. There was only a closed door and two guards guarding outside.
Ju Niu'er said, "Nothing?"
Just then, a sneaky figure approached.
