"Xueyue, I will definitely treat you well."
Guo Liangxian gave him a gratified look, his face full of relaxation and admiration.
Ever since they had met by chance that year and been promoted by the prefect, he thought he would not truly like his wife, a lady from a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, she would still be useful to him at the critical moment.
This scene made Lin Yan'er, who had already been ignored, angry. She hurried over and took Guo Liangxian's arm, smiling sweetly,
"Thank you, Madam, for your help!"
Yuan Xueyue just smiled slightly and came to the seat without commenting, "Mother-in-law, please come and sit down."
She fulfilled the duties of a wife and ignored anything that was unnecessary or unworthy!
She was still thinking about how to get Guo Liangxian to agree to a divorce!
At first glance, the way he looked at her seemed to be overdoing it.
With the steps provided by Yuan Xueyue, Nian didn't want to care anymore and let Cui Mama help her sit down. She saw Guo Liangxian helping his aunt to sit down.
Nian still couldn't accept it and said in a cold tone, "You can't sit!"
Guo Liangxian was surprised, "Mother?"
Xueyue agreed, and Lin Yan'er was pregnant, so why didn't her mother agree?
Nian continued to look at Yuan Xueyue, expecting to see some dissatisfaction in her eyes, but unexpectedly, Yuan Xueyue had already sat down calmly, blinked her eyes and looked at her.
"well."
Nian sighed, looked at Lin Yan'er and said, "You go out to eat. I haven't officially accepted you as a concubine yet, so you are just a house slave!"
Lin Yan'er was filled with shock. She was obviously pregnant and had the general's love, so why was this damn old woman still holding on to her?
Nian looked at Madam Cui and said, "Put her with the maids. The master can take a seat. She is a bastard with no status and no reputation and has no right to sit here!"
Mother Cui received the order and went forward to grab Lin Yan'er away.
"General!"
"Yan'er!"
A pair of infatuated men and women looked at each other from afar, and Guo Liangxian was unable to chase her out. He knew that without his mother's consent, he could not get over this hurdle.
Guo Liangxian sat down with a gloomy expression.
"She is a biological mother of a son!" Guo Liangxian reminded.
"I know! Mother Cui has heard it too. She will help you settle down. It won't be too late to make plans after you get promoted!"
Nian said as she looked at her disappointing son.
Guo Liangxian, “…”
Yuan Xueyue just watched quietly, it was such a good show!
Once he gets promoted and Lin Yan'er is settled, Yuan Xueyue should find an opportunity to divorce him. She wants to leave all the time!
Lin Yan'er's appearance is destined to bring unrest to the general's mansion.
A seductive woman with a confused husband, the mistress's situation is too difficult!
Xing Ge'er was stunned. Cuiping brought the dishes over. He shook his head and looked at Yuan Xueyue and said,
"I want my mother to feed me!"
In her previous life, Yuan Xueyue would not have indulged him like this.
But now, the old lady is here, and the general is here too.
"Mother also wants to feed you, but your grandmother is here! You don't want your father to see you looking so useless, right?" Yuan Xueyue said, changing the subject to the other two.
Nian coughed lightly and said,
"When did I ever let you spoil Xing'er?"
Guo Liangxian also asked, "How old is the man?"
Xing'er said, "Eight years old."
Guo Liangxian said, "You've grown up so big, how can you let your mother feed you? Come to your father."
After hearing this, Xingger became nervous and slowly approached Guo Liangxian.
His biological mother is Guo Liangxian's sister. Because he was beaten by his biological mother due to alcoholism since childhood, his biological mother has no pity for him at all!
For more than a year, Xingger had only received strict instruction in the general's mansion. It was only in the past few days that things eased up a bit. He was thinking that he could get loving care from his mother, but his father intervened.
"Tell father, how has your stepmother treated you this year?"
Guo Liangxian held Xingger in his arms, and thinking that he had not taken care of him for a long time, he personally scooped up delicious food to feed him.
Xing'er rolled his eyes and said,
"My mother didn't spoil me, nor did she treat me coldly."
Nian said, "That won't do. Xueyue should teach Xing'er well. He will be going to school soon, so you should hurry up and give him guidance."
Hearing this, Guo Liangxian agreed, "That's right, you should do a good job of supporting your husband and raising your children."
The mother and son worked in unison and made clear arrangements for Yuan Xueyue.
She only sneered in her heart, but said kindly on the surface,
"How about I take the imperial examination and become a tutor, so that Xing'er can show his power in the school? Unfortunately, my father is a prefect and cannot meet your requirements."
Her self-deprecating tone exposed Nian's thoughts.
Nian said, "That's not what I meant. I know you can't make so many decisions. When will Liangxian be rewarded after his return? How long will it take?"
Nian turned around and asked Guo Liangxian.
"I attended the palace banquet yesterday. Prince Xian and the general discussed with His Majesty. The official reward will be given in three days. Prince Xian also guaranteed that my name will be on the list." Guo Liangxian said.
"That's about right. Three days is long enough. You can go and find a good teacher for Xing'er in the next two days." Nian said.
"...I'll go look for it, sir?"
Guo Liangxian suspected that he had heard wrongly. He would not go to someone's house to ask for help and be so humble.
Nian asked, "Could it be possible to let Xueyue go?"
Guo Liangxian was stunned. It was indeed inappropriate. At the moment, he was the most prestigious person to invite in the general's mansion.
If outsiders or people in charge go there, the gentleman will only feel that he is not valued.
"By the way, you don't need to live in the residence. Two months of tutoring is enough."
Nian's words made Guo Liangxian feel troubled.
The General's Mansion is located in a remote area, north of the capital, close to the city edge. Most of the gentlemen live in or outside the city and do not live in the mansion. Wouldn't that make them have to travel every day?
Seeing Guo Liangxian's embarrassed expression, Nian knew she was in a difficult situation and said, "Why don't you work hard to get promoted? With you getting the General's Mansion and owning a good location, it wouldn't be so difficult to hire a master!"
"He still lives in the mansion given by the Xian King, with a modest plaque hanging on the door."
His mother's sarcastic tone was blaming him for not working harder. Guo Liangxian lowered his head and secretly encouraged her.
"My son understands. Just treat it as an opportunity to get to know the civil servants. It will also help him to have a successful career."
Nian smiled and said, "My son is really smart. He understood it so quickly."
After the episode of returning home, the mansion became lively again.
Guo Liangxian was walking in the mansion, looking at the unchanged appearance over the years, and was very pleased. He happened to see Rong Mama passing by and asked,
"Which room did Lin Yan'er arrange to live in?"
Mother Rong was startled and replied, "Don't worry, General. I just saw Mother Cui leading them to Ju Niu'er's room."
After saying that, Rong's mother turned and walked away.
Guo Liangxian also followed the direction to look for Lin Yan'er. As he turned the corner of the corridor, a girl in a beautiful floral dress bumped into his arms!
"Brother Liangxian!"
A shout made Guo Liangxian look down and see that it was Cui Mama's daughter, Ju Niuer.
He didn't have time to pay attention to it now, so he asked directly, "Where's Yan'er?"
