These words made Nian so angry that she almost fainted!
Fortunately, Cui's mother was there to support her and kept pressing her forehead to soothe her.
"You have completely forgotten the propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame that your mother taught you! What kind of magic potion did she feed you?" Nian gasped.
Seeing this, Guo Liangxian also lowered his head and was unwilling to face Nian.
He said, "Mother, please forgive me. I have my own plans. Xueyue is indeed the mistress of the mansion... but with her attitude, it's better to take Yan'er with her."
Nian's expression was painful, and she rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, you're older now, but you have to consider the reputation of the General's Mansion!"
"If this gets out, who would know that the person you brought with you was actually your new concubine? How will you end up like this?"
"I still want your official career to be smooth."
Guo Liangxian's expression remained calm. "It won't get out. The only ones who will get out will be those present who leaked the news."
After saying that, Guo Liangxian and others looked at Ju Niuer.
Ju Niu'er suddenly felt like a thorn in her back, feeling wronged and conflicted, but she had just been reprimanded by the old lady, so she could no longer defend herself.
Any grievances you feel must be kept in your stomach for now!
"Madam, General, Niu'er would never dare to do that." Ju Niu'er lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
"Okay, leave the mansion to Xueyue, and leave the rest to mother to take care of. I'm going out first and will come back to see Xing'er later." Guo Liangxian said.
After saying that, he stood up and left with Lin Yan'er.
“…”
As soon as Guo Liangxian left, Nian looked gloomy, silently twirling her Buddhist beads and muttering to herself.
What a sin... May the Buddha bless my son...
Nian didn't want to suffer any more blows. Ever since Lin Yan'er appeared, bad things happened one after another in the mansion, which made Nian very angry!
She just couldn't understand why it was her, Nian, who made the decisions and took the actions when her daughter-in-law Xueyue was the mistress of the mansion?
Nian sighed deeply.
"Call Xueyue."
…
"Ah, ah, ah! Grandmother!"
Whip after whip, the servants in the mansion were giving Xingger the simplest family punishment, pressing him on a chair and carrying out the light whipping.
But as fragile as Xing'er was, his body had not yet been strengthened, and after being beaten for a while, he started howling and begging for mercy from his grandmother.
Nian closed her eyes, simply out of sight and out of mind!
How did she protect Xingger a month ago? Now Nian has paid her back double.
Because of this, Xingger was almost sent back from the school!
That would be embarrassing in the capital!
It clearly shows to outsiders that their general's mansion cannot even afford a teacher to teach children!
It was her grandson who had offended Mr. Wan in the past, and in the end it was he who paid the price, and he continued to be looked down upon by the teachers in the school!
Even though Xingger tried hard these days, he barely passed the test.
But after just two days in prison, the truth was revealed!
Mother Cui was also horrified and couldn't bear to watch!
Sun Guotou, a good-natured boy, was punished by Nian herself. It can be seen that Nian was really angry recently. She had no place to vent her anger, so she chose the weakest Xing'er to show her power!
"Wow... Grandma, I know I was wrong. I will study hard in the future, listen to my mother, write well, and recite well..." Xingger cried like a pear blossom in the rain.
The servants could not bear it any longer and stopped.
Just enough for fifty strokes.
They were all too lenient, but flogging is not something that can be avoided by being lenient.
Yuan Xueyue sat on the mat, not saying a word, looking away. Her eyes were particularly firm, without a trace of unnecessary emotion.
Nian turned to her and said, "Did you see that?"
"You should treat your own son like this. Don't spoil Xing'er. Pick up the etiquette you've been using for the past year!"
"Xing'er is already in school. If we don't discipline him strictly, how will he pass the imperial examinations in the future?"
Yuan Xueyue disagreed and said, "Mother-in-law, I believe that with Xing'er's efforts, he will definitely be able to do it. The ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. We can't force him to learn, right?"
Nian was shocked, "You...!"
Everyone present was also surprised, except Xingger who cried out, "Mother! Wuuwuwu..."
It seems that only his mother loves him!
This grandmother is so cruel!
Nian was speechless for a moment and said, "Xueyue, I am reminding you to do this! How can you..." Don't support what I said?
Nian didn't want to say the rest of the words, as long as her daughter-in-law understood.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xueyue didn't fall for it at all and continued with her own thoughts.
"Although Xing'er isn't my biological son, he's better than me. This year, I've come to terms with it. Instead of forcing Xing'er to do something he doesn't like, I might as well let him go..."
"Shut up! You are disregarding human ethics! As a mother, how can you be irresponsible for your son's affairs?" Nian was anxious and scolded him in a hurry.
Everyone could see that Nian was dissatisfied.
But Yuan Xueyue didn't care.
"She is a mother, but this is also her first time being a son, so she should exercise self-discipline. It is her mother-in-law's job to discipline the general, and as for how the daughter-in-law should discipline Xing'er, it is better to follow her ideas."
Nian sat up in anger and shock, "How can this be possible!"
"Come here! Take the lady to the ancestral hall and let her confine herself to reflect for a few days! When she has thought it through, come out and see me!"
Mother Cui and others were shocked one after another!
The servants had nothing to say and could only come forward and invite Yuan Xueyue to leave.
Cuiping followed.
Ju Niu'er stood there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time... Why is the lady acting like she is deliberately provoking the old lady?
"Grandma! What right do you have to imprison my mother? What right do you have! Ahhhh!" Xingger was so anxious that he went crazy and was pinned down by two servants.
Nian's Dao,
"What mother? If she doesn't teach you to pass the imperial examinations and gain academic success, she's not worthy of being your mother!"
"Grandma is doing this for your own good, do you know that?"
As she spoke, Nian was also stunned for a moment.
Why does it sound like what I said to Guo Liangxian in my memory?
On the way to the ancestral hall, the servants followed respectfully behind her, because Yuan Xueyue was very well-behaved and walked towards the hall step by step.
The ancestral hall is located a few hundred meters away from the back door of the general's mansion and was specially moved from his hometown in Lucheng.
On the tablets, there are all the Guo family's great grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandmother...
Yuan Xueyue knelt on the mat, clasped her hands together, and bowed quietly.
In her previous life, she was also punished to stay in the ancestral hall for a few days, but the reason was completely different from now!
In her previous life, she was punished by Nian because she was too strict in disciplining Xingger, which led to Xingger complaining that he could not stand his mother anymore.
Now, Yuan Xueyue knows that she cannot get rid of Zhengxing'er, so naturally, Nian will have to bear the consequences of this sin!
Nian, don’t even think about being in power and ruling the country again!
In this life, Yuan Xueyue just wants to be a bystander who goes with the flow and then leave quietly.
The servants left and left Cuiping here to guard. The servants trust the madam and Cuiping!
"Madam, why are you doing this?" Cuiping said with concern.
