"What's going on?" Nian urged several times and asked if Guo Liangxian had returned home, but Mother Cui said no.
It's dark.
Guo Liangxian just returned home covered in dust and dirt. When Manager Li saw him, he was very surprised!
"What's wrong, General?"
Guo Liangxian walked into the courtyard with a dejected look on his face. Mother Cui came forward and said, "The old lady wants to see you."
When we arrived at Zhongsi Hall, Yuan Xueyue was also sitting beside us.
Nian rambled on, "You're finally back! Do you know how your wife was nearly humiliated by that Lin Yan'er today?"
Guo Liangxian listened dully and shook his head.
"Mother, what did Yan'er do to you?"
Hearing the tone of voice, Nian said coldly, "How do you talk to your mother? Look at that Lin Yan'er you dote on, she's almost lawless!"
"Early this morning, he stayed in the side courtyard and refused to come out, wanting to wait until noon before leaving the house!"
"She's a concubine, so just prepare everything early and bring her in through the back door! You've already decorated her Yanling Garden beautifully, and she still wants to stay up until dusk?"
Guo Liangxian was shocked.
Nian continued, "Not only that, I just reprimanded her a few times this afternoon, but she got angry and openly contradicted me!..."
All his chatter didn't elicit any response from Guo Liangxian.
He closed his eyes and interrupted, "Alright! Mother, you said these are all matters of the inner house. Do you know that your son is very busy outside?"
"Can you please stop making things difficult for Yan'er? These are just trivial matters! She didn't do anything, and she didn't accomplish anything. Is this what makes you unhappy?"
Nian's eyes widened, "Liangxian, you..."
Guo Liangxian added, "Besides, I really need her and I like her. You can't always be hard on your son!"
Nian was speechless after being blocked, "..."
Yuan Xueyue, who was sitting at the side, could hardly hold back her laughter.
This is the result of forcing Lin Yan'er into the mansion, and it will be even more ridiculous in the future!
Yuan Xueyue agreed early on, but Nian delayed for more than a month before reluctantly allowing her to enter the mansion.
"Mother-in-law, Liangxian must have encountered some difficulties outside the mansion. Why don't you listen to his advice?" Yuan Xueyue suggested.
What Guo Liangxian said next made Nian's blood pressure rise even higher!
Guo Liangxian said, "The old teacher at the school said that Xing'er is not very enlightened. He can only write a few words, and his writing is average. He can't catch up with other students at all. He seems to want me to bring him back..."
"On the farm, the foreman has been working for a few days and is demanding a raise, or he won't work!"
"If I had known he was this kind of person, why would I have hired him? Damn it!"
Guo Liangxian clenched his fists in anger.
“…”
Nian lost her temper and kept holding her aching forehead!
The General's Mansion had just begun to improve, but now it has encountered difficulties again!
"Otherwise, you can go to the military camp tomorrow to try to find some connections... This is not a solution..." Nian said helplessly.
Speaking of the military camp, Guo Liangxian was stunned. "Yes! Those brothers who went through life and death together, they all got married and started their own families and careers."
"I don't know if you'll be free to help me. I'll try my best."
Guo Liangxian looked thoughtful and cautious.
Seeing this, Nian no longer wanted to say anything. Her son had his own worries, things in the backyard...
"In the future, Xueyue, you have to take care of the backyard. As for Lin Yan'er, you have to teach her well. She is no longer under house arrest. She will come to your opera house more often in the future. You have to be careful." Nian instructed.
Yuan Xueyue nodded in agreement, "I understand, mother-in-law. I will treat her well."
However, there is no guarantee what she will do!
After leaving Zhongsi Hall, Yuan Xueyue came out and saw Cuiping.
Cuiping said, "Xing'er is waiting for you in the Pear Garden."
"Um."
Dinner is over, it's dark, and it's time to take a bath and rest. Why does Xingger linger in the Pear Garden?
The Pear Garden is the courtyard where the mistress lives, and it is beautifully decorated.
The unnamed courtyard next to it is the residence of the adopted eldest son, Xingger.
"Mother!"
As soon as Yuan Xueyue appeared, Xingge fell to his knees!
"Please forgive my son for being incompetent. I was scolded by the teacher today! My hand hurts so much when he hit me!" Xingger said with tears in his eyes, and slowly pulled up his sleeves.
Three or four red marks suddenly appeared on Xingger's left arm.
Since the right arm is used to hold a pen to write, the teacher can only hit the left arm.
Cuiping blurted out, "Is it because you didn't listen to the teacher's instructions that you got beaten?"
Cuiping has also gotten used to it. Over the past year or so, the lady has asked her to help criticize Xing'er.
For a moment, she didn't react. Now Xing'er is going to school.
Yuan Xueyue smiled and squatted down, took a look, came forward and called out,
"Xing'er has grown up, why would he be afraid of the teacher's ruler?"
Xing Ge'er still had tears in his eyes, "But, it really hurts!"
Compared with Mr. Wan’s ruler before, the teachers and old gentlemen in the school now are even more ruthless!
Unless they are royal relatives,
But even the children of the royal family would study in the Imperial College, and the tutors in the Imperial College were no pushovers.
Only those residents living in the capital and some children of high-ranking officials came to the capital's schools.
The gentleman is very respected, but the old lady is the only one who is not convinced!
Only Mr. Wan didn't care and just left!
Anyway, Xing'er will come to school sooner or later, and if he fails, he will still be beaten!
Yuan Xueyue hesitated for a moment and said with a smile,
"Okay, Xing'er won't go to school tomorrow. Mother will ask the old teacher for leave for you. Is that okay?"
When Cuiping said this, her eyes were filled with shock!
You actually don’t go to school and even ask for leave?
Why is Madam becoming more and more indulgent towards Xing'er?
Cuiping couldn't understand.
Unexpectedly, Xingger's eyes lit up immediately. This was exactly what he was waiting for!
"Great! Then my son will practice in the study tomorrow!" Xingger smiled and had forgotten the scar on his arm.
"Cui Ping, take Xing Ge'er downstairs to apply the medicine."
"Yes, ma'am."
Cuiping had no choice but to take Xingger away.
Yuan Xueyue watched their backs as they left and knew what was going on.
In his previous life, even though Xing'er went to school, he was lazy and didn't study for two days. He even wanted to take leave every day!
It seems that the promises made a few days ago are completely meaningless.
This is almost the same as Guo Liangxian.
It had only been a few days, just two days since I went to school, and I couldn't hold on any longer.
Well, Yuan Xueyue will no longer force Xingger to do things he doesn't like, and let him do whatever he wants!
Yuan Xueyue's increasingly meaningless attitude deepened Lin Yan'er's indulgence!
I succeeded in taking a concubine today.
Guo Liangxian and she were having a great time in Yanling Garden... and then they both fell asleep happily.
…
The next morning, Ju Niuer came to the Pear Garden early to pay her respects to the lady.
According to some rules in the mansion, concubines have to pay their respects to the mistress. If they don't, it depends on whether the mistress will make a fuss or not.
Ju Niuer came here with a sullen look on her face, intending to have an argument with Lin Yaner, but she didn't know that she was nowhere to be seen!
