"Of course, until the old lady can't wait any longer." Yuan Xueyue said.
Just wait a few more days and the old lady will come in person.
Yuan Xueyue wants to let Nian know that it is easy to send away gods but difficult to invite them in!
It's such a waste of time that only those who can't stand it will feel anxious.
She doesn't care now. Everything is calm and peaceful. It is so beautiful without sadness or joy.
At this time, the mansion was in an uproar!
Guo Liangxian encountered difficulties repeatedly, and the numbers in Zhuangzi's account books kept not matching!
Coincidentally, Yuan Xueyue was not at home, so no matter how we investigated, it was not Madam's fault, it was only Lin Yan'er's fault!
In Zhongsi Hall, Nian read the contents of the account book and what Guo Liangxian described.
She suddenly threw the account book over.
"Look! This is what you, Yan'er, did!"
The account book fell in front of Guo Liangxian. He picked it up with force and saw bloodshot in his eyes!
In the past two days, he was exhausted from running around three places. The servants on the farm kept clamoring for him to deal with the remaining matters quickly, otherwise they would go on strike.
He wanted to go to the palace to find Xiao Zhao, but was turned away!
Xing'er hasn't been to school for two days and there is no suitable elder in the mansion to accompany him.
The old lady definitely can’t let her concubine take it away, only the lady and the general can have the status!
Guo Liangxian's scalp tingled. "Mother, these are all trivial matters. I will handle them slowly."
"It's been two days! The situation is getting more and more confusing! Tell me, who is more important, the concubine in your arms or the mistress of the house?" Nian said.
Guo Liangxian was silent for a moment, then said, "...Xueyue is more important."
Fortunately, Lin Yan'er was isolated outside the Zhongsi Hall by Mother Cui, otherwise, after hearing this, she would probably make a fuss again in the evening!
He didn't want to belittle the person he liked, otherwise he would be admitting his failure!
"In that case, go to the ancestral hall and invite Xueyue back." Nian said, pressing her aching forehead.
Guo Liangxian was startled.
"Can't the mother go and ask for it? After all, it wasn't her son who sent her there as punishment."
He didn't have the ability to punish his wife, and Yuan Xueyue didn't commit any major mistakes.
Nian said angrily, "I am your mother! With such a high status, you are asking her to be your daughter-in-law? Do you think it is possible?"
Mother Cui wiped her sweat and explained,
"I went to ask Madam this morning, but she said she had to perform rituals for the ancestors in the ancestral hall and wouldn't be back soon."
Nian echoed, "Did you hear that? This daughter-in-law is waiting for me to go! If I fall into her trap, will I still be able to make decisions in this mansion?"
"As Xing'er's father, can't you pay more attention to his studies? He hasn't been to school for two days!"
"Day after day, I still need this old bone of mine to worry about it!"
Guo Liangxian lowered his head, "..."
He also didn't want to face Yuan Xueyue's unapproachable face, as if she was out of reach!
Obviously, he is her husband!
"Speak up! Are you going or not? She is your wife. If you don't invite her, do you want me, an old lady, to go there myself?" Nian said angrily.
Having no choice, Guo Liangxian stood up immediately.
Mother Cui just came in the morning, and Guo Liangxian came again in the afternoon.
Yuan Xueyue was kneeling on the mat, her knees were almost numb. When she heard the noise outside the door, she pricked up her ears!
"General! Why are you here? My wife is bowing inside..."
Without waiting for Cuiping to finish her explanation, Guo Liangxian walked straight past her and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall!
Yuan Xueyue didn't turn around immediately. She knew without looking that something was wrong with Guo Liangxian's expression.
She continued to bow quietly.
"May our ancestors bless us." Yuan Xueyue said lightly.
"Okay, you can come back home with me now."
Guo Liangxian thought he could take Yuan Xueyue away with just these words.
She smiled and said without turning back,
"General, this is extremely disrespectful to our ancestors and will affect your career. Come over and kowtow."
“…”
Seeing this, Guo Liangxian had no choice but to come over to the cushion and kowtow a few times.
"The mansion is a mess now. Mother has realized her mistake. But you are the mistress of the house and you should take care of everything in the mansion." Guo Liangxian said.
Yuan Xueyue disagreed, "What do you mean by 'should'? I am the mistress of the house, but I am the general and the mother-in-law who can call me and send me away at will. You can disrespect me, but in front of the ancestors..."
"Do you dare say that again?"
Guo Liangxian reached the pass, "..."
He also realized that the ancestral temple in front of him was a sacred place and he could not say anything disrespectful to his ancestors.
"May our ancestors bless you... Xueyue, how many days will you stay here? It will only take three days to complete the rituals, and you can go back tomorrow." Guo Liangxian said.
Yuan Xueyue closed her eyes and bowed, saying,
"I just started it yesterday and I have to finish it the day after tomorrow."
"General, please hold on for two more days. I believe that mother-in-law will understand your difficulties. In front of our ancestors, we must not go against their teachings."
"Otherwise, all future generations will be punished by heaven. May our ancestors bless you."
Guo Liangxian said anxiously, "Not the day after tomorrow! Tomorrow is exactly three days. I'll pick you up tomorrow night!"
Yuan Xueyue said calmly,
"I know the general is anxious, but if it is not destined, one should not force it. If you neglect your ancestors for one night and just run away after paying homage, it would be extremely disrespectful to them."
"I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility, General. But if you leave tomorrow night, you'll have to stay here for four days. Four is bad luck for you. I hope you understand."
Guo Liangxian was speechless, "..."
It’s not okay either way, why are there so many rules?
Rules are dead!
Guo Liangxian immediately stood up and coldly questioned Yuan Xueyue,
"If you really have doubts, then you're not at the General's Mansion anymore? I'm aware of all these complicated details, and so is Mother! Do you really need to emphasize them again and again?"
"I just want to ask you one question. Are you leaving now?"
Yuan Xueyue still said calmly,
"It's not that I don't want to leave, but I can't leave. If the general insists on me leaving, then please swear an oath before our ancestors. It's you who insists on going against our ancestors' wishes and taking me away by force."
"You!" Guo Liangxian was almost angry to death.
He wanted Yuan Xueyue to listen to him and follow him back home, not to ask him to resign in front of the ancestors!
Can I resign on her behalf at will?
"General, don't you want to? It's too absurd for a woman like me to offend our ancestors personally!" Yuan Xueyue said coldly, and continued to clasp her hands together and kowtow.
"Ancestors bless you, the general has such a heart, please don't blame me."
Seeing Yuan Xueyue's appearance, Guo Liangxian was so angry that he turned his sleeves and went straight out of the ancestral hall!
He gasped for breath, trying hard to calm down!
Cui Ping saw this and reminded, "General! This is a sacred place, please treat it well!"
Guo Liangxian, “…”
Do all of them think that he, the general, doesn't exist?
He can't even call Yuan Xueyue?
After a moment, he came back in and just stood by the door, saying to Yuan Xueyue who was bowing inside,
"Do you dare to swear before our ancestors that you have no second thoughts about the General's Mansion?"
"Who would believe such a fake kowtow?"
