No matter how hard you try, you can't compare to the koi in the pond.
As long as the owner is here, you will never be able to escape from this small place!
A man who can't even treat his wife well doesn't deserve his cultivation!
General's Mansion.
After receiving Xiao Zhao, Guo Liangxian went to the backyard aimlessly and unexpectedly found that the small courtyard next to the pear garden was particularly deserted!
Guo Liangxian came in immediately and saw that only Xingger was sitting there alone, writing in crooked handwriting.
He was dumbfounded!
"Father!"
Xing'er shouted happily.
He ran over happily and threw himself in front of Guo Liangxian.
Guo Liangxian realized something was wrong and pushed Xingger away and said coldly,
"Where's Mr. Wan?"
Xing Ge'er pouted innocently and said, "Mr. Wan was driven away by my grandmother."
Xingger was so naive that he betrayed his loving grandmother with just a few words.
Soon, Guo Liangxian brought Xingger, who was crying and snotting, to Zhongsi Hall.
Nian had just finished a nap and was about to take a nap when she woke up and was disturbed by the noise.
Coming out of the wing room, he saw Xing'er with tears on his face and said with heartache,
"Hey, Liangxian, what are you doing?"
Nian wanted to go forward and hug Xing'er, but was stopped by Guo Liangxian.
Guo Liangxian said dissatisfiedly, "Mother, what on earth do you want to do!"
Nian was stunned. "What do you mean? Why are you talking to mother like that? What's wrong with you?"
Guo Liangxian said, "You drove Ms. Wan away! She was the teacher that my son had finally invited back!"
"Mother, what a joke! With just a few words, she offended Mr. Wan, a well-known figure in the industry!"
"From now on, how will Xing'er hold his head up in school? There's less than a month left!"
When Nian heard this, she was stunned.
Just at this moment, Yuan Xueyue finished counting the inventory in the warehouse and walked in with the account book in her hand. Mother Cui led the way and heard what the general said to the old lady.
Everyone was stunned and the atmosphere became awkward.
Nian covered her face with a look of grievance and pretended to cry,
"Son, you're grown up now and have learned to be mean to your mother. Isn't she just a female teacher? You don't want so many serious teachers, but you're looking for a female teacher who only knows how to beat and bully you!"
Yuan Xueyue smiled in her heart. Otherwise, why did Guo Liangxian and Xingger have such bad careers?
With an old lady like this who can't tell right from wrong and loves to make trouble, there is no peace in this mansion.
As soon as he saw Yuan Xueyue, Guo Liangxian's arrogance disappeared.
He took a deep breath and said calmly,
"Mr. Wan has that kind of temper. A good teacher produces a good student, and good teachers are usually strict. Having her teach Xing'er will also help to temper his stubborn temper."
Nian was still unconvinced, "What famous teacher? She even hit Xing'er. Look at his back."
At Nian's signal, Mother Cui stepped forward, pulled open Xing'er's outer robe, and tore open his inner shirt, revealing one or two faint red marks.
"See? Miss Lin hasn't been born yet, so you don't care about Xing'er, right?" Nian said.
“…”
Guo Liangxian said nothing, but glanced at Yuan Xueyue from time to time.
"After all, Xing'er is still our child. He is adopted by you two rightfully. Please pay more attention to him!" Nian nagged and blamed.
Noticing that Guo Liangxian was not in the mood to talk about Xingger, Nian followed his gaze and glanced at Yuan Xueyue and said,
"I knew you were coming, and I thought you were going to report to the police and divorce our family!"
Yuan Xueyue smiled calmly, handed over the account book with both hands and said, "Mother-in-law, you are joking. This is the silver distribution for last month. The general's salary is barely enough, and there is still some left over. It is for you to decide."
Nian took it and looked at it, her eyes lit up!
Although Yuan Xueyue was a concubine's daughter, when her biological mother was alive, she was still the legitimate daughter of the prefect!
But her father favored his concubine over his wife, and promoted her aunt to be his legal wife, so she became a concubine's daughter.
It can be seen that with his family background and education, he can manage such an account book, which is truly impressive!
She is a good woman to be a mistress!
Nian nodded and said,
"Well, it's really good. Liangxian, you see, when you have time, spend more time with Xueyue to cultivate the relationship that has been missing in the past five years. After all, you are husband and wife, so don't neglect your wife."
"Look at the accounts your wife has kept. She's saved every penny of your salary over the past five years. If you don't manage your money well, even if you live in the palace, it will be all in vain!"
After he finished speaking, Guo Liangxian regained some of his composure. "Yes, son, I'll remember that."
Nian said again,
"Look, my son won't neglect you. From now on, don't talk about those ugly things, divorce, etc., so as not to make people laugh!"
Yuan Xueyue just smiled and said nothing.
He said he would not neglect her, but when he had a better choice one day, he still kicked her out, didn't he?
It's so insincere, yet he can say it seriously.
Yuan Xueyue really admired them, so she changed the subject and said,
"Miss Lin from the side courtyard is already three months pregnant, and her belly is slightly showing. As the general's wife, I should take care of everything for the mansion. This is my responsibility. I also hope that this savings can bring comfort to Miss Lin."
After these words were spoken, the light in Nian's eyes became even brighter!
"It has to be you, Xueyue. You are worthy of being the good daughter-in-law of our Guo family!" Nian stretched out her hand and shook Yuan Xueyue's wrist, saying with a smile.
Guo Liangxian was also shocked. Was she planning to take a concubine?
Really, are you just thinking about the mansion?
"Mr. Wan's matter..." Guo Liangxian was still thinking.
Nian said, "Don't mention her. Don't we have a suitable candidate right in front of us? Let Xueyue continue to supervise Xing'er's studies. He will be going to the academy in just one month. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."
Guo Liangxian, “…”
Xing'er has been in the mansion for more than a year, but he hasn't learned anything well, but he has had a lot of fun!
He thought about it and decided that one month was indeed too short and meaningless.
"Okay, Xueyue, please supervise him. I'll leave Xing'er to you." Guo Liangxian said.
Looking at the mother and son singing in unison, and Xing'er's bewildered expression beside them, Yuan Xueyue said slowly,
"It's not that I don't supervise. I have taught Xing'er diligently over the past year. But even after Mr. Wan came here, he discovered that Xing'er is indeed not suitable for studying literature and taking the imperial examinations."
Nian immediately retorted,
"Nonsense! Why doesn't Xingge'er study literature? Is he going to follow his father and fight on the battlefield, losing his flesh and blood? Absolutely not!"
"Xing'er must learn literature! He must also take the imperial examination and become the top scholar! To make up for the unfulfilled dream of our Guo family!"
Nian's impassioned speech was truly laughable.
But Yuan Xueyue did not break the promise. At first, she sincerely wanted to help Xingger turn the situation around. But now it seems that her husband who did not take action and would not change, and the stubborn old lady, are the ones who harmed Xingger.
"Well, I'll give it my best." Yuan Xueyue said simply.
Anyway, I won't force him that much.
When Xingger came out of Zhongsi Hall, he was holding her clothes and looking at his mother eagerly, as if he felt a little strange!
