Mother Cui hurriedly poured tea for Nian to calm her down.
Mother Cui said,
"Second Young Master, is this how you behave? You're in someone else's house, and you're offending the elders there!"
"Let's not talk about the old lady for now..."
The second daughter-in-law was still angry and stared at Mother Cui and said,
"Which courtyard are you from? We are talking to the master, after all, we are guests!"
"Aunt, is this how you teach your servants to be so polite to guests?"
Brother Ji was listening at the side and suddenly felt something was wrong!
What do you want to do, Dad and Mom?
With the help of his wife, Erlang became more confident and said with a smile,
"Aunt, don't accuse us of bullying my cousin. A woman like her will have to go to the ancestral hall to apologize even if she doesn't die!"
"If you protect her like this, won't you be offending the ancestors of the Guo family?"
Nian's breathing was unstable and her chest was heaving violently.
If Yuan Xueyue had seen such a relative in the past, she would have stood up to support the people in this mansion.
But they are exhausted and don’t deserve it!
Nian is even less worthy!
Yuan Xueyue remained silent, her hands clenched in her sleeves.
"You..." Nian pointed angrily, but still couldn't order them to move. She could only ask the maid next to her,
"Where's Liangxian? Isn't he coming over yet?"
Erlang also said, "Yes, cousin, are you feeling hot? Our father has something to say to you all!"
After saying that, Erlang took out an envelope from his arms.
Nian almost fainted on the spot!
Such a huge general's mansion, without the head of the family, would really be occupied and annexed by these hateful relatives!
The war is over.
Guo Liangxian still covets the land of tenderness!
In the previous life, Yuan Xueyue supported the Guo family from the storms outside, but in this life, they were just allowed to be bullied.
Ji Ge'er also said,
"Grandma, you should return Xing'er to my aunt. I see my aunt crying every day."
"Last night, my aunt was bullied and cursed by everyone."
"It's so pitiful."
Ji Ge'er looked regretful, but deep down he wished Xing Ge'er could return to his aunt as soon as possible!
In this way, there will be no rivals in this mansion!
He, Brother Ji, is the only eldest young master in the mansion!
Brother Song, the gentle and polite younger brother with a gloomy face, can never beat me!
"Nonsense! How can a brother like you have the right to speak here? Go back to the courtyard!" Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with Erlang's family, Nian simply spoke to Brother Ji.
Ji Ge'er said, "Grandma, I just came to see my father and mother..."
Nian said, "What are you looking at? Your mother is only Madam Guo from our mansion! Go, Madam Cui!"
Nian ordered Mama Cui to take Xing'er out and hand him over to other maids!
The second daughter-in-law was unhappy and blamed,
"Where's my cousin? She committed such a terrible act and even abandoned Xing'er to my sister-in-law. She must be too ashamed to face our ancestors!"
The second daughter-in-law was very angry because she was taken away after spending only a short time with Ji Ge'er.
Nian said, "This has nothing to do with you! Whatever happens to Lianglian is handled by our Guo family!"
"How can your Second Master's family have the final say? And certainly not someone as unknown as your Second Young Master and Second Daughter-in-law who has the final say!"
The second daughter-in-law was shocked, "You!"
Nian, "Don't provoke me! You won't get anything!"
Just as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
The servant brought Guo Liangxian over and saw the scene in the main hall. My mother's face turned red.
Guo Liangxian stepped forward, grabbed Erlang's collar, and asked,
"What are you doing here? Looking for trouble?"
Facing a mere cousin, Guo Liangxian can still deal with it with ease!
But Erlang did not give in so easily. He tried hard to pry open Guo Liangxian's fingers, but unfortunately the other party was a military general with extraordinary physical strength.
Erlang had no choice but to say,
"Let me go! My father has something to tell you!"
Guo Liangxian was stunned and threw Erlang back to sit on the chair.
Erlang fell to the ground, still in shock. His second daughter-in-law hurried over to comfort him and took out the envelope and handed it to Guo Liangxian and the others for review.
"Look carefully!"
"My father has high hopes for you. Cousin, you are from the eldest uncle's family. None of us is more noble than the other!"
"Don't forget that we are all descendants of the Guo family!"
"We are like brothers! Our fathers and brothers in the clan are suffering. You can't just care about your own glory and wealth and forget the kindness of your fathers and brothers who supported you in the past!" Erlang said with a proud smile.
This time we must win.
Even the silent Yuan Xueyue was impressed after hearing this!
The sons of my second uncle are all the same, both very cunning. Compared with a major general like Guo Liangxian who followed orders and relied on force to get promoted, they are not much different.
It's just different opportunities.
If Guo Liangxian was stronger and could withstand public opinion, he might not have been defeated by Guo's relatives!
But Nian couldn’t make the decision either, and she was most afraid of the blood-sucking relatives of the Guo family!
After reading the envelope, Nian slumped in her chair, lost in thought!
The second daughter-in-law also said,
"Shouldn't you give us an explanation about your cousin's matter?"
"Should we also arrange for hush money?"
"Don't play dumb! Otherwise, we'll tell our ancestors and the elders of Lucheng!"
"Don't even think about hurting Erlang and me! If we die, we won't be able to return to Lucheng. Your lineage, the Grandpa Guo family, will be to blame!"
Both the couple spoke in a resolute tone.
It's not necessary to kill them all, it's just for money!
Nian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Guo Liangxian,
"Liangxian, what do you think?"
“…”
Guo Liangxian had nothing to say, he just held the envelope tightly, until it wrinkled!
Erlang coughed twice to ease the discomfort of being grabbed by the collar by Guo Liangxian, and said,
"Aunt and cousin, please forgive Erlang for his disrespectful words just now. It's just that father is anxious, so he said that."
"We don't need anything else but to borrow some money. As for what happened to Cousin Lianglian, we can pretend we didn't hear anything. As long as you give us some benefits, we will show mercy and never mention a single word of it when we return!"
But there is no guarantee that others will not tell it.
Yuan Xueyue smiled faintly.
Guo Liangxian and his father will know it sooner or later, it’s just a matter of sooner or later!
The atmosphere became quiet.
Erlang and the others are waiting for Nian and Guo Liangxian to consider their decision. No matter how they consider it, Erlang and the others have a greater chance of winning!
Even if it means a fight to the death, the people of Lucheng will still seek justice for Erlang and go straight to the capital to file a complaint against the lineage of Guo Liangxian, the eldest son of the Guo family!
Guo Liangxian and Nian are just mother and son. A military general who doesn't know how to take care of these trivial matters will be easily taken advantage of every time!
Even worse, Nian would always be labeled as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family and could never be the master!
Even when they were receiving relatives last time, even Guo Liangxian's second uncle and third uncle could say a few words to Nian!
At this time, a lady like Yuan Xueyue who can withstand public opinion alone is most needed.
This is the importance of the mistress of a mansion.
Guo Liangxian was confused and Nian pretended to be confused.
Then, Yuan Xueyue followed suit and ignored these unimportant matters of her husband's family.
"Xueyue, please say something!"
