Guo Liangxian was struck by lightning and stood there in shock. It was only after Manager Li shook him for a long time that he came to his senses!
"General! Go and take a look, there's something wrong with the old lady in the mansion!" Manager Li said worriedly.
Guo Liangxian reacted and ran to the backyard!
What came into view was the old lady, his wife, Lin Yan'er, and many servants packing up things from the warehouse and moving them back.
Mother Cui was also comforting Nian, who was crying and very excited.
When Nian saw Guo Liangxian coming back, she quickly stood up and came over crying,
"Son! What a sin! Yuan Xueyue actually brought the official to the mansion to expose our family's shame! Our family is disgraced!"
"Mother didn't let the official take this woman away for the sake of your child. It's all your wife's fault!"
Nian's words made it clear that everything was Yuan Xueyue's fault!
Guo Liangxian listened to the words and the scene in front of him, as well as the discussions of the people on the road just now and the words of the official after he left the house, his head was buzzing with thoughts!
In a trance, he felt like fainting!
However, as the only pillar of the family, he still held on.
"What on earth do you want?"
Guo Liangxian suddenly roared at Yuan Xueyue!
Cuiping was so frightened that she stepped forward to block his momentum and explained,
"It's not Madam's fault! It was the old lady and Miss Lin who insisted on picking the lock, so Madam had no choice but to call the official!"
Guo Liangxian approached Cuiping with cold eyes and pushed her aside!
"Get out of here! There's no place for a maid like you to talk here!"
He approached Yuan Xueyue, causing her to take two steps back, but her steps remained calm, and her face was calm as she said,
"General, are you going to attack me? Then please invite the elders of our respective clans and we will divorce peacefully."
As soon as the words came out, Nian looked over in shock!
What, you want a divorce?
Nian immediately said, "No! We can't divorce!"
Now that this has happened, it would be hard to find a better daughter-in-law even if you searched with a lantern. What's more, the prefect of the Yuan family has done favors for the Guo family and has introduced them to Prince Xian!
Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Guo family will never divorce!
Even if she, Yuan Xueyue, was not a member of the Guo family in life, she must be a ghost of the Guo family after death!
Guo Liangxian had no intention of taking action, he just wanted to get closer to her and ask her what was going on in her mind, but he didn't expect her to say such words.
He was stunned, and his momentum instantly lost most of its power.
"You, want to divorce?"
Guo Liangxian said in a slow tone, he never expected that his wife, who had been married for a long time, would want to divorce before they even consummated the marriage?
Is it because she is dissatisfied that he brought back a woman without touching her?
This is what Guo Liangxian thought.
Yuan Xueyue continued, "Since the General can't see the situation clearly and can't grasp the situation, I can't accompany you anymore."
Looking at his wife with a cold and heartless face, Guo Liangxian felt at a loss for the first time!
He was anxious and tried hard to think of how to start.
The Nian family first said,
"Divorce? Don't even think about it! Divorce is impossible, let alone dreaming about it!"
Yuan Xueyue frowned, feeling that Nian was in good health now, but she was quite noisy.
In her previous life, whenever Nian was unhappy, she, as her wife, would take care of everything and make her live a comfortable and stable life.
Now, Yuan Xueyue doesn’t do that anymore. She didn’t expect Nian to be so loud. It seems that she is not unwell!
Old woman, you are quite good at pretending!
“…”
Yuan Xueyue glanced at them all. Even Guo Liangxian was speechless. She couldn't deal with them here, so she turned and left.
As soon as Yuan Xueyue left, Lin Yan'er woke up from her nightmare and started babbling coquettishly.
"General~General~General!"
Guo Liangxian's heart ached, he turned around and saw the pale Lin Yan'er, he hurried forward to hug her and comfort her,
"It's okay, it's okay! I'm back, no one will take you away."
"General, I'm so scared! Madam brought so many people with her and almost took me away! Wuuuuu..." Lin Yan'er started crying at the right time, sobbing uncontrollably.
Xingger hid in the distance, quietly watching everything that happened in the mansion. He didn't expect that his mother actually wanted to leave!
He immediately followed her to the Pear Garden.
Guo Liangxian said, "It's okay now, I'm not afraid anymore."
Although he was trying to comfort her on the surface, his heart was very complicated. All he could think about was why Yuan Xueyue wanted to divorce?
Nian was also having a splitting headache. She didn't know what people outside were saying about the General's Mansion.
Not only is his official hat not high, he also lives in the old residence of Prince Xian. Now his official position has not been promoted, and he has also caused a family scandal!
Even if their family is not civil servants, military generals are afraid of public opinion!
Nian pressed her aching forehead and was supported by Mother Cui to go to Zhongsi Hall to rest.
After all this trouble, Nian and the others no longer dared to think about Yuan Xueyue's dowry, and they could not even withstand the rumors outside.
Pear Garden.
Cuiping asked the servants to clean up the storeroom and lock it again, then came back and said,
"Madam, everything is packed. Do you really want to divorce?"
Cuiping found it a little unbelievable.
So this is the lady’s purpose!
Yuan Xueyue hummed and said,
"It's not that easy. With the old lady's personality, she would never throw it away unless it was completely worthless and could be reused. Besides, the general and I are still his first wife. Divorcing him would be as difficult as climbing to heaven."
Nian said that even divorcing her is impossible!
Moreover, Yuan Xueyue knew very well that her father, the prefect who was far away in the interior, and Aunt Fang were both eager for Yuan Xueyue to please the Guo family!
Today, the Guo family is on the rise. Even though their official positions are not high, they are not targeted by many people because they are appreciated by King Xian. Moreover, with such a large mansion in the capital, many people will give them some face.
Including the official just now, there was more or less fear in his tone and behavior.
That's why Yuan Xueyue felt helpless.
Cui Ping heard this and said, "Madam, please do whatever you want. I will be loyal to you."
Cuiping was a servant girl that Yuan Xueyue brought with her from the prefectural government as a dowry. She was kind-hearted and loyal to her master.
With Cuiping's words, Yuan Xueyue became even more determined to divorce.
As long as you work hard enough, you can grind a hammer into a needle!
On that day, the news had spread throughout the capital. People in the surrounding area, as well as teahouse lobbyists, were all discussing the scandal in the young general's mansion!
There are many different opinions.
Some men think that this lady is too ignorant of the overall situation. Even if her husband is not a good person, he is still the master of this family. How can she protect the dowry for her own selfish interests?
You know, behind the scenes, many women’s dowries have been taken away by cruel men, and the women can only bear it silently.
These are all shameful things, so just keep them in mind.
But the wife of the Guo family is different. Even though her parents' home is far away at the border, thousands of miles away, it still cannot wear down the wife's determination to marry far away.
