However, Xing'er has been treated with indulgence by Yuan Xueyue, and his temper has softened a lot, and he no longer has many rebellious tendencies. He said,
"No, no, my mother has always disciplined me, but I just don't like studying..."
My mother is already very good, how can I blame her?
Xing'er thought so in his heart.
Yuan Xueyue also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.
As long as this legitimate son doesn't cause her trouble, Yuan Xueyue won't have any objections. After all, he is her aunt's child!
If her aunt had never come back, Yuan Xueyue might have given Xing'er some life lessons before finally divorcing him.
Unfortunately, Yuan Xueyue knew very well after her rebirth that her aunt would definitely come back!
I will definitely take Xingger back. Instead of making things difficult for others, it is better to let go in advance and let Xingger play around and neglect his studies!
After all, this child is untreatable!
Nian leaned back slightly after listening to this, still unable to believe that the child was still speaking for Yuan Xueyue.
"Xing'er, you are the eldest son in the mansion, so you don't have to be afraid. If your mother makes a mistake, the old lady will still punish her, do you understand?" Mother Cui reminded.
Xingger glanced at her and ignored her.
Nian also said,
"Brother, are you feeling unwell? Are you having trouble with your studies?"
Xing Ge'er blinked and said, "I want to rest for a few days. The teacher at the school is too strict and there is too much homework to learn."
"What about the Four Books and Five Classics, the Tao Te Ching..."
Nian said coldly, "No! There's so much to learn, and we'll have to take the exam next year!"
"Grandmother hopes you'll pass this test this time! You can't bring shame to the General's Mansion, understand!"
Xing'er hesitated and didn't want to make any promises.
Nian said, "That would be great! Get first place in the exam and bring honor to your father!"
Yuan Xueyue, who was listening on the side, couldn't help laughing in her heart.
It’s a pity that Nian Shi had such a wishful thinking!
To be able to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar in one try would be a great honor for Xingge'er's ancestors!
Yes, Xing'er is just my aunt's child. He was adopted by Nian and is under the name of Yuan Xueyue. He is not considered a member of the Guo family!
Nian Shi couldn't figure out the reason and kept hoping that Xing'er could accomplish something!
It seems that the reason why Guo Liangxian was confused was all because of Nian.
Xing'er was confused. How could it be so easy to be the first in the case?
"Grandson, grandson will do his best." Xing'er said with evasive eyes.
"Go ahead."
As soon as Xing'er left, Nian's face straightened again and said, "Xing'er's real surname isn't Guo after all. Xueyue, when did you get pregnant?"
Yuan Xueyue said, "A good cook cannot cook without rice. The mother-in-law is making things difficult for her daughter-in-law."
Nian's Dao,
"Difficult? You know it's difficult, but why don't you hurry up and serve Liangxian well? Do you still need me to teach you this?"
"Didn't I hear that Yan'er from Yanlingyuan is feeling unwell these days? Have you asked a doctor to see her?"
Yuan Xueyue would never have anything to do with Guo Liangxian.
She said, "I see, Yan'er is pregnant, so she hasn't come to the Pear Garden to pay her respects recently, and my daughter-in-law doesn't blame me."
Nian's eyes suddenly lit up and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, alright, finally there's some movement. It has to be... you too. How could you let a concubine get pregnant before you? If her child is born first, won't it grow up before you?"
Nian always has a mysterious self-confidence. Unless it happens to her, she always thinks others have it easy!
Yuan Xueyue smiled and said,
"Mother-in-law, wasn't she pregnant before she took a concubine? It's nothing, and your daughter-in-law won't care about it."
Nian, "..."
"You still remember this? Didn't it fall out? Now she is pregnant again. It's you who didn't pay attention to her!" Nian blamed.
Yuan Xueyue just smiled faintly and didn't respond.
Nian said helplessly, "If Liangxian didn't like it, I wouldn't like that bitch's child. After all, her background is not good. What future can a mother like that have?"
Yuan Xueyue, “…”
Is this a veiled criticism of Xingge'er?
Xing'er is even worse. His biological father is a bad guy and his biological mother is very irritable. Now he has returned and has been staying at his mother's house. He has not dared to go out for several months!
Even if there were some rumors, Guo Lianglian was too lazy to pay attention to them!
Fortunately, the widower died tragically in the chaos, and Guo Lianglian escaped by chance, otherwise the widower would have chased the Guo family to death!
After listening to Nian's chatter for a while, Nian finalized his words and said,
"Forget it. You can worry about other things. The only recent matter is that the uncle from the Guo family is coming. You should ask Mother Rong to prepare and entertain the relatives. Don't lose face."
The uncles of the Guo family are Guo Liangxian’s younger uncles.
Before Guo Liangxian's father was still alive, he had three or four concubines in Lucheng. Guo Liangxian's father was from the first wife, and Nian was the eldest sister-in-law!
Now that the war is over, Guo Liangxian's lineage has been blessed by Prince Xian to move to the capital. In order to bring honor to the family, his uncles and nephews also proposed to move the ancestral hall here.
This led to the time when Yuan Xueyue was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.
During this year, the uncles came to visit two or three times, which tortured the servants in the mansion.
I’ve been here almost a dozen times in the past few years!
They say they are entertaining relatives, but in fact they just want to get benefits!
When I think about Guo Liangxian coming back now, I guess his uncles will come soon!
Now the farm has been completed, the harvests of the past few months have been quite satisfactory, there are many more servants in the mansion, and Nian smiles a lot more often.
Unfortunately, Xingger's studies are still a big concern.
After hearing this, Yuan Xueyue nodded and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will entertain the relatives well."
After saying this, Nian said,
"You don't have to treat me so seriously..."
Nian's tone dropped. "In the past, they came because our family didn't have much to gain. But now that Liangxian has returned and the manor has been greatly enriched, they're eager to come!"
"Don't give them any leverage! As the mistress of the mansion, you must be even more cautious!"
Nian instructed.
Yuan Xueyue's eyes sparkled for a moment, and she understood what Nian meant, so she nodded and let it go.
After leaving Zhongsi Hall, Yuan Xueyue went to tell Rong's mother.
This matter must be arranged properly from top to bottom!
Only when everyone in the house works together can we truly "entertain" the arrival of our relatives!
Ju Niu'er knew it at once, and said with a frustrated look on her face,
"They're here again! I guess they're trying to get some favors from the General this time!"
Yuan Xueyue smiled and said, "What else? Coming all the way to the capital city, it's not that simple."
Ju Niu'er was annoyed. "Hey, that bitch from Yanlingyuan is really pregnant! Why is there no movement in my belly?"
Yuan Xueyue said, "It will happen, there's no rush."
"But she arrived before me! That's what makes me angry. Now the relatives are coming, and I think..." There was a fierce look in Ju Niu'er's eyes.
Yuan Xueyue knew what she was thinking, but she deliberately didn't point it out.
"Okay, remember this first. Be careful when the time comes. You are also a concubine in the mansion."
Ju Niuer smiled and bowed, "Yes, ma'am~"
After coming out of Yaoyu Pavilion, Yuan Xueyue was about to go to Yanling Garden, but she saw Guo Liangxian coming out from inside, and the two looked at each other.
Yuan Xueyue bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Xueyue!"
