After a long time, Xiao Zhao counted about two quarters of an hour in her mind.
He silently raised his eyes to steal the prince's expression, which was as calm as water. Then he looked up slightly and found a smile on the corner of the prince's mouth!
Xiao Zhao was shocked.
Dai Yixuan's expression changed instantly. He stared at him coldly, his fingers twisting the paper lightly. His tone was icy, "Send the envelope back slowly. Just say that I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need any money."
Xiao Zhao bent down and took the envelope, and the general meaning of the words came into view!
Perhaps, Madam Guo was grateful for the cultivation of Prince Xian's Mansion and wanted to use the three hundred taels of harvest from the past six months as a tribute to the Mansion. Why did the Prince take so long to read just five or six words of greeting?
Xiao Zhao's eyes flashed with surprise, but he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I obey your command."
Just as Xiao Zhao moved towards the door, Dai Yixuan's voice slowly sounded from behind her.
Dai Yixuan said calmly, "Besides, I will choose a day to visit the Guo family mansion."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhao felt his head buzzing!
The prince has never been to the residence of any official or merchant. He either sends people over or sends people to express condolences. Why would the prince need to move?
The Guo family is the first one!
Xiao Zhao was shocked, but having followed the prince for many years, she was already accustomed to his mood swings, so she simply continued to obey the order, "I obey the order."
After only being in the house for a while, Xiao Zhao felt an invisible pressure. When she came outside, she felt relaxed all over. At the same time, she was shocked and wondered what the prince's intention was.
Could it be that there was some important mission for the young general of the Guo family? A promotion?
As a trusted subordinate, one can more or less guess the master's intentions, but this time, Xiao Zhao couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Guo Liangxian, who was refused to meet by the palace, returned to the palace in a dejected look. He was very confused about Yuan Xueyue's intentions!
Guo Liangxian came to the Pear Garden and Cuiping led him in.
Inside the room, Yuan Xueyue was sorting out the account books. Seeing Cuiping come back, she raised her head slightly and asked, "Did you deliver the envelope?"
Cui Ping bowed with a smile on her face and said, "I have given it to you. Come and see me, General."
After reporting, the maid left. Guo Liangxian still sat down with his thighs raised on the chair on the other side.
"Tell me, how much silver do you plan to give to the palace? I have already distributed 65 taels to the foreman according to the account book, and rewarded them with a meal of wine and meat, which cost 9 taels." Guo Liangxian reported today's tasks truthfully, and glanced at Yuan Xueyue's eyebrows inadvertently.
She looked so absorbed in her work, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she seemed to have a gentle beauty.
But her expression and attitude always kept people at a distance, making Guo Liangxian unable to touch her, even if it was his own wife!
"Well, it's good that it's given to me. Next I have to wait for the reply from the palace." Yuan Xueyue immediately withdrew her gaze as soon as she saw Guo Liangxian, and buried her head in writing.
Guo Liangxian wanted to get closer to take a look, but Yuan Xueyue glanced at him and said,
"What else do you want, General?"
Guo Liangxian put his hands behind his back, feeling guilty, and looked around to divert his attention.
"Nothing. I just saw your maid on the street. After asking, I wanted to take the opportunity to meet Brother Xiao Zhao to discuss it in detail. Unexpectedly, less than two quarters of an hour later, the guards told me that he was not at home."
Guo Liangxian looked ashamed and felt very sorry.
Yuan Xueyue's eyebrows were slightly cold as she said, "It's quite normal. My Lord is very busy and it's not convenient for him to see guests."
Guo Liangxian said,
"That's what I say, but it's always the same every time I go there. It really puzzles me."
He frowned in confusion, not daring to think about it any further.
What I said was half true and half false, but how dare I doubt Master Xiao Zhao and the prince?
After a while, Guo Liangxian had nothing more to ask, so he left the opera house in a bad mood. On his way, Rong Mama came over and said,
"General, Yanlingyuan's aunt is causing trouble!"
Guo Liangxian was startled. "What's the matter?"
He hurried over, and the first person who caught his eye was Qin Qing'er, who lived in the south room of Yanling Garden. He met this woman by chance in a tavern, and they fell in love at first sight. So after knowing Guo Liangxian's identity, Qin Qing'er was willing to be the general's concubine!
Two months ago, I was brought into this mansion and moved into the south room of Yanlingyuan. I didn't know that there was a crazy concubine Yan across the street. Because she loved the general so much, she framed the boy and concubine Niu in the mansion twice, but failed both times, so she was confined here.
"General! You're here, I'm so scared!" Qin Qing'er has a bit of Lin Yan'er's shadow, she is charming and graceful, and her eyes are only for him, which makes people love her.
Guo Liangxian hugged her tightly and rushed over, "What happened to make you so panicked?"
Qin Qing'er said, "I don't know what happened to Aunt Yan across the street today. She suddenly lost her temper and started throwing things around in the room. The noise was so loud that I could hear it from over here."
At this time, Lin Yan'er's maid came over to tell her,
"General! Aunt Yan said she missed you and wanted to see you!"
Qin Qing'er hugged Guo Liangxian's waist and said, "What do you want to see? You want to see the general every other day, aren't you annoying? Tell your master that the general won't see you!"
Suddenly, Guo Liangxian gently pushed Qin Qing'er away.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
He suddenly felt better today, simply because Yuan Xueyue was too busy and looked less indifferent to him, which made Guo Liangxian in a good mood!
In the past, I would remain silent and show no mercy!
Qin Qing'er followed in shock, "General! Be careful, she might hurt you!"
Guo Liangxian raised his hand to signal her not to follow him, saying, "I'll go by myself."
Qin Qing'er was embarrassed and was stopped outside the house by the maid.
"General!"
The sounds inside and outside the room were slightly different. The moment Lin Yan'er saw Guo Liangxian, she was overjoyed. She never expected that the general would finally come to see her.
Her belly was getting bigger, and it was almost five months, but because she was thin, her belly looked even bigger and thicker.
Lin Yan'er was so surprised that she wanted to come over and hug him, but was given a cold look.
Guo Liangxian said coldly, "Why are you making trouble when you are pregnant and not staying at home?"
Lin Yan'er was stunned and felt a little sad, but after looking at Guo Liangxian a few times, the sadness and resentment in her heart quickly faded away!
"No, I'm not making a fuss. It's all right if the general comes to see me. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you very much."
Lin Yan'er bit her lip, perhaps because she felt the baby in her belly kicking, which made her more patient.
We cannot afford to offend that lady, and we cannot afford to offend the current general even more. We must use softness to overcome hardness and learn to be as tolerant and magnanimous as that lady!
Guo Liangxian looked at her haggard face and swollen belly, and sighed slightly, "It's hard for you. Just stay here and wait until you give birth."
After saying this, Guo Liangxian wanted to turn around.
Lin Yan'er suddenly shouted, "General!"
She bit her lips tightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Looking at Guo Liangxian's surprised look, she held back her words and said with a forced smile,
"Okay, General, take care. I will rest assured and take care of the baby until it is born."
Guo Liangxian understood, nodded, and quickly turned and left.
Lin Yan'er watched the door slam shut, and a surge of hatred surged in her heart!
