Guo Liangxian remained silent.
He took a deep breath, calmed down and said,
"Why is the prince so concerned about you? Your letter only mentioned the harvest at the farm."
Yuan Xueyue stood up and said, "Hasn't the General seen it?"
Nian was stunned. "Son, you also see that something is wrong. Is Xueyue hiding something from us?"
Yuan Xueyue, “…”
"Mother, please go down. Your son will take care of it. You were frightened just now. Go down and have a meal and rest." Guo Liangxian handed Nian's hand to Mother Cui.
Mother Cui took the frightened Nian away.
At this point, only Guo Liangxian and Yuan Xueyue were left in the main hall.
Outside, the maids and servants were waiting, but the general and his wife still hadn't come out!
Guo Liangxian narrowed his eyes and said,
"I felt something was wrong the moment I brought you to the palace. You didn't think that just because the prince greeted you a few times, you didn't know whose wife you were, did you?"
Yuan Xueyue chuckled in her heart.
"General, you misunderstood. I have absolutely no second thoughts."
Guo Liangxian sneered, "Before, I touched your storehouse and dowry, and you were so frightened that you wanted to divorce me!"
"If the official hadn't just left, wouldn't you have caused a huge uproar in the capital?"
Yuan Xueyue said coldly, "General, since you know it clearly, why do you keep asking?"
After she finished speaking, Yuan Xueyue raised her foot to leave, but when she passed by Guo Liangxian, he grabbed her arm!
"You'd better recognize yourself! You are already a married woman. Prince Xian only values our Guo family and treats you equally. You are just taking advantage of me!" Guo Liangxian said.
Yuan Xueyue immediately broke free from his hand, "No need to remind me, General!"
Guo Liangxian said, "It seems that you are still somewhat useful. A letter can make the prince come to visit. Although the gain this time is not great, I am satisfied."
By then, the palace will bring some gifts in the next few days!
The treasures and gifts in the palace are often priceless!
There is nothing of value in their house except some silver for expenses!
Even the clothes of his wives and concubines were made of ordinary satin.
Daily expenses are also acceptable!
If it weren't for the generous treatment from the palace and the good harvest from the farm, how could they afford to support the servants in such a big mansion?
Now there are several courtyards.
Yuan Xueyue said calmly, "General, stop joking. I'm a married woman, and I don't have that ability!"
"My father once had a negotiation with the prince, but as a girl in the boudoir, how could I have the opportunity to meet the prince?"
Guo Liangxian thought about it and agreed.
The prefect was able to barely get in touch with the prince, and was able to organize a martial arts competition for the prince and select some soldiers to assist. This is how Guo Liangxian appeared.
"Just be clear about yourself!" Guo Liangxian said.
"General, you should also consider your status! Be a good general for the people and set an example!"
After Yuan Xueyue finished speaking, she turned and left.
Cuiping was waiting outside, following the lady's steps.
As soon as she left, Guo Liangxian felt unhappy!
I thought that if the prince spoke, his tone and the aftermath would lead to more good things, but he suddenly left!
Just as she was so determined!
Well, it’s a great blessing that the prince can come!
However, he always felt empty in his heart... Why did the prince show such concern for his wife twice?
This is probably because he values the Guo family.
Guo Liangxian comforted himself.
This reception spread the good news in the capital that the Guo family had welcomed Prince Xian into the mansion!
Whenever Guo Liangxian entered or left the house, someone would come to deliver messages, and servants would come to report and invite Guo Liangxian to have a drink and talk!
As the year draws to a close, everyone’s work for the year is almost done, so naturally there’s time for us to get together.
It is rare that the wives in the house take care of the work, while the men have nothing to do except being busy with their official duties.
As for military generals like Guo Liangxian, when there is no war, they just wait in the mansion, idle, singing and making jokes, and collecting military pay and salary!
If there is really not enough money to spend, doing some errands, cooperating in some small business, such as setting up a farm, is also a difficult task.
But the Guo family has the help of King Xian, and everyone in the surrounding area knows about it!
In the restaurant.
"General Guo, you are so lucky! The prince thinks highly of you and is expected to cultivate you!"
"Yes, Prince Xian is not one to show kindness to others easily! I heard that even many high-ranking officials cannot be flattered, let alone high-ranking officials and nobles!"
"You, the war just ended this year, yet you're so high-profile. Zhuangzi accomplished this in half a year, you're so proud of yourself!"
"From now on, we will all have to rely on General Guo, hahaha..."
Everyone was very happy and couldn't help but feel happy about it!
Guo Liangxian drank a pot of wine silently and said, "Everyone, thank you for your esteem for me, Guo. In the future, if there is an opportunity, we will definitely cooperate!"
"King Xian, you must think highly of me!"
"You guys can only envy me, hahaha!"
Guo Liangxian's mood was very happy, and he walked back home leisurely with a look of joy in his eyes.
That night, Guo Liangxian favored Qin Qing'er from Yanling Garden, which made Lin Yan'er from the master room extremely angry!
In the Pear Garden the next day.
Yuan Xueyue was sorting out the account books in the mansion when she accidentally discovered that the amount in one book did not match the money!
She frowned slightly and called Cuiping to look together.
"Look, what's going on?" Yuan Xueyue said.
Cuiping followed the lady and became familiar with many things happening in the inner chamber. After taking a quick look, she found that the silver allocated from above should be used to purchase twenty new porcelain pieces for use in the coming year.
Unfortunately, there are only fifteen items recorded!
It's obvious that someone is accepting bribes privately!
Cuiping was shocked, "Madam! Someone has embezzled the money!"
Yuan Xueyue was stunned.
Thinking carefully, this porcelain item was purchased by Ju Niuer who was assigned to Yaoyu Pavilion, and the silver was also given to Rong Mama to arrange for its distribution.
But the number recorded is wrong!
"Go and call the girl from Yaoyu Pavilion." Yuan Xueyue said.
"yes."
Cuiping went to call for help, and soon Juniuer came. After hearing the situation, her head was buzzing.
"Madam! I absolutely did not do that! This, this is..."
Ju Niuer tried hard to recall that the porcelain work was given to Jiang Tingting. She took the money and actually did such a shameful job!
"Call that bitch over here!" Ju Niuer yelled at her maid.
Yuan Xueyue, “…”
It seems that things are not simple.
Some people can't sit still just for a little bit of silver.
I wonder if Nian can withstand such a concubine who enriches herself.
I don’t know if the general will protect me?
Then he went against the Nian family?
Jiang Tingting was soon brought in by the maid. She looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
As soon as she came, Ju Niuer stood up and slapped her suddenly!
With a snap!
loud.
Ju Niu'er yelled, "Look at what you've done! You dare to swallow the money given to you by the Madam! Spit it out now!"
Jiang Tingting was slapped in the face and looked confused and aggrieved, her face suddenly turned red!
She immediately knelt down and said, "I don't know! What do you mean by swallowing silver? Sister Niu'er, please explain it clearly!"
Ju Niuer pointed angrily,
"How dare you quibble! I paid you twenty pieces of porcelain, but you only got fifteen!"
