Yuan Xueyue was also sitting here. From the moment Guo Liangxian walked in, she knew that things were not simple!
It was the same in his previous life. Guo Liangxian's path to promotion was full of twists and turns.
Although Prince Xian treats the Guo family well, he is not completely kind to them. Prince Xian is not a big enemy and will not give you whatever you want!
Therefore, in the end, Guo Liangxian still had to go through several twists and turns before he could be successfully promoted!
It is precisely because of this mansion that Guo Liangxian has difficulty in getting promoted. Overtly and covertly, many people are jealous of the reward that Prince Xian has given to the Guo family!
But in her previous life, Yuan Xueyue didn’t know until her death why Prince Xian fell in love with Guo Liangxian, and where his talent lay.
Is it just that according to folk legend, Guo Liangxian, Xian and Xian Wang have the same pronunciation?
"What did Prince Xian say? Why don't you say something?" Nian said anxiously. Looking at her son's expression, she knew there was no hope.
Guo Liangxian said solemnly,
"Wait! The String King told me to wait, without any definite explanation."
When Nian heard this, she cried out in sadness!
"Oh my God! I've been looking forward to it for five years! All you have is a mansion, but no promotion! You're just a low-ranking general five years ago!" Nian slapped herself, beat her chest and stamped her feet, feeling extremely upset.
No matter how I think about it, I can't understand why he was not promoted?
Nian glanced at Yuan Xueyue who was waiting for news beside her and shook her head helplessly.
"Now, I have to ask Xueyue to plan the money in the mansion carefully. Life is not easy now!"
Yuan Xueyue, “…”
Guo Liangxian noticed her and said, "Xueyue! Don't you want me to take a concubine sooner? How about..."
He hesitated to speak, his eyes full of desire!
Nian was stunned, not understanding what her son was thinking.
Yuan Xueyue smiled and said, "General, please feel free to speak."
"Dowry, you still have dowry, don't you? Take some out, it will be enough to expand the mansion, so that I can take a concubine..." It will be convenient.
Before Guo Liangxian could finish his words, Nian threw another crutch at him!
Nian cursed and said,
"How dare you look at Xueyue's dowry? You haven't been promoted, but you've done something so shameful! Aren't you ashamed? Where will the reputation of our general's mansion be?"
Fortunately, Nian knew the rules and knew that a woman’s dowry should not be touched.
She taught her son a lesson personally, which made Yuan Xueyue find it ridiculous!
He was scolding on the surface, but in his heart he was probably wondering whether this might work.
Because in the previous life, Yuan Xueyue's dowry was used by Guo Liangxian, who was unable to get promoted!
At the beginning, Nian was so kind to help, but she could not resist Guo Liangxian's nagging. After all, her son was her own son, so how could she not meet his request?
Yuan Xueyue worked so hard to be the mistress, even giving them a dowry, but all she got in return was their disgust and alienation, and she died of depression!
Then why should she do as they wish?
"Mother!" Guo Liangxian said depressedly. He really couldn't think of the fastest way.
Yuan Xueyue said calmly,
"My mother-in-law is right. If you get your wife's dowry contaminated, it will be a stain on your life. Besides, Prince Xian gave us such a large mansion because he values you. Let's wait a little longer, maybe we will get some news."
After hearing these words, Guo Liangxian and Nian were both stunned.
What they said was indeed reasonable, but they all had their own plans!
As everyone knows, Prince Xian may not really value Guo Liangxian, so Nian is clear about this in her mind.
"Xueyue, we should consider this matter in the long run."
Nian thought that if she played the bad guy, Yuan Xueyue, who cared about her son so much, would definitely give up the dowry. However, she didn't expect that she was just empty talk and did nothing!
"What should we do? Is my mother-in-law's dowry still there? Although I am far away in the interior, my father has close connections in the capital. If the general uses my dowry, I can't guarantee that others will know about it." Yuan Xueyue said.
Guo Liangxian's face looked bad and he lowered his head helplessly.
Seeing that he looked undecided, Nian said,
"Mine was swallowed up by Liangxian's father a long time ago! Which woman's dowry doesn't end up going to her husband? It's just a matter of time."
Nian began to give in, but seeing that Yuan Xueyue refused to give in, she became anxious.
Yuan Xueyue said, "Both my father-in-law and I are gone now, so I can't verify it. The past is the past, and the present is the present."
“…”
These words left the mother and son speechless.
After thinking for a while, Nian said simply, "If you and I don't tell anyone, who would know that Liangxian touched your dowry?"
When these words were spoken, Guo Liangxian was shocked!
He found an idea and started to persuade her.
"Xueyue, is that okay? I haven't asked for anything from you since I married you."
If she is not even allowed to touch the dowry, then he will doubt Yuan Xueyue's thoughts, Guo Liangxian thought to himself.
Yuan Xueyue sneered inwardly, what a weird mother and son!
In her previous life, why didn't she see it clearly earlier?
Fortunately, everything is still under control.
"Xueyue, what are you talking about?" Nian was anxious.
Why is it that my daughter-in-law has been so slow lately and what she says is so unreliable?
"My daughter-in-law has nothing to say, but I won't get it for you personally. If you want it, go and pry open the warehouse yourself." Yuan Xueyue said firmly.
Having said that, Nian knew it was impossible for her to agree.
Nian immediately glared at him coldly, "We're one family, why are you talking so much? Xueyue, look at how you act like a mistress. Why don't you seem to be able to see the bigger picture?"
Guo Liangxian was also stunned. How could he possibly pry open the warehouse!
The warehouse is now also managed by Yuan Xueyue. Both my mother and Xueyue know how many things are in it.
Nian only had the right to look at the account books and assist in planning their use.
"I'm tired and won't accompany my mother-in-law and the general anymore. You can make your own decision." Yuan Xueyue cut the Gordian knot and got up and left.
If they can't reach an agreement, they will run away first.
Nian was stunned and pointed at Yuan Xueyue's back.
"Liangxian, look at the wife you married! She wasn't even afraid of being punished to kneel for an hour today!"
Guo Liangxian felt a splitting headache. Since returning home, not a single day had been peaceful!
Apart from the imperial edict mentioned by Prince Dengxian, there was also the clamor in the mansion about how to deal with the issue of taking a concubine. If the mansion had sufficient money and servants, this situation would not have occurred.
Yes, and Xingger’s husband is also missing!
"You can handle it yourself! I won't help you deal with it. How can you expect to be so glorious by just taking a concubine?" Nian said unhappily, picking up the wooden fish and knocking it.
“…”
Guo Liangxian was speechless. Tired after a busy day, he got up and left Zhongsi Hall.
He strolled through the mansion, passing through the winding corridor, and faced two directions: one leading to the Pear Garden, and the other to the side courtyard for the servants.
He thought for a moment and headed straight towards the Pear Garden!
He wanted to know clearly, Yuan Xueyue, what exactly was in her mind?
While she was talking about wanting to find him a concubine as soon as possible, she was holding on to the dowry tightly!
