"What is Yan'er? Brother Liangxian, you finally came back. You must have been tired fighting outside. Let me check if you are injured."
Ju Niuer touched him without hesitation, which made Guo Liangxian annoyed.
“Get out of the way!”
When Guo Liangxian roared, Ju Niuer was stunned.
"Why are you so fierce? She's in the room next to mine! I don't want to be in the same room with her..."
Without waiting for Ju Niu'er to finish speaking, Guo Liangxian walked away, leaving her alone.
Bang!
The door was pushed open, and Guo Liangxian saw Lin Yan'er sitting on the bed with her face covered and crying. He immediately ran over and hugged her!
"General!"
"Don't be afraid, Yan'er!"
"Why is this happening? Didn't the general promise Yan'er that he would take her as his concubine as soon as he returned? General, you are lying, you are lying!"
As Lin Yan'er spoke, she punched Guo Liangxian's chest hard with her little fist.
Guo Liangxian breathed in the scent of her body with a distressed look, and said calmly, "Yan'er, be patient. My wife has agreed, but you must abide by the rules. Mother also agreed, but it will be later."
Lin Yan'er knew that men's words could not be trusted.
She didn't expect to confirm it anytime soon!
"If that's the case, why did you lie to me? It would be better to let Yan'er live among the refugees!"
"After giving me hope, are you also going to give me despair?" Lin Yan'er said.
"What nonsense!"
Guo Liangxian's scalp tingled. He knew it wouldn't be that easy, but as long as he persisted, his mother or his wife would agree sooner or later.
But for now, we need to calm Lin Yan'er down first, as she is still pregnant.
"You are talking nonsense. Isn't the baby in my belly your flesh and blood? Do you think you will feel at ease if we, mother and son, live in exile?" Lin Yan'er pouted in grievance.
She just wanted to make some noise. She had just seen with her own eyes that Guo Liangxian's eyes looked strange towards that lady!
"Okay, I will give you a status. The position of concubine is not difficult, and you are not unclear about your identity." Guo Liangxian said.
"Yan'er doesn't want to live in this small house. Your general's mansion is so big, but why is there so little room for me?"
Guo Liangxian said, "Actually, this mansion was a gift from Prince Xian, not something I acquired. How could a low-ranking general like me have such a large mansion?"
Lin Yan'er opened her eyes wide, "King Xian? Is he the man in black on the tall horse?"
Guo Liangxian nodded.
Such a noble man, who loves all living beings, personally went to the scene to command the soldiers to settle the refugees within the border.
“…”
Lin Yan'er lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she said, "Then, how long will it take?"
Guo Liangxian said,
"You will first be a servant in the mansion. You won't have anything to do, just a title. When I get promoted, I will expand the mansion's staff and ask Madam to give you a courtyard."
Lin Yan'er asked, "Why do you have to hang around a servant? Can't the general take a concubine?"
Guo Liangxian said, "After all, there is the mistress and the old lady in the mansion. Yan'er can't act recklessly. She must abide by the etiquette."
Over the years, he didn't have much power to manage the mansion. It was all managed by his mother and his wife, so he had to give them some face.
Once your official position is promoted and your mansion is expanded, taking a concubine will be a matter of minutes.
After comforting Lin Yan'er, Guo Liangxian came out of the side yard dejectedly and met Yuan Xueyue who was giving instructions to the steward.
He looked up and met her cold and calm eyes, feeling guilty.
"Xueyue." He said.
Upon seeing this, the steward bowed slightly and left.
"General, do you have any instructions?" Yuan Xueyue bowed and asked respectfully.
Now, Guo Liangxian's official position is not high, but he wears a hat and has a big mansion, all thanks to the reward from King Xian's cultivation.
I don’t know how Guo Liangxian did it, but with just my father’s introduction, Guo Liangxian was able to take off!
Yuan Xueyue was confused.
"Thank you. You have worked hard to manage the general's mansion over the years. I'm sorry for the hardship you have endured." Guo Liangxian said.
After hearing this, Yuan Xueyue sneered in her heart. If she really felt miserable, she would not openly bring a foreign girl into the mansion to challenge the mistress's position.
"General, you have worked hard. If there is nothing else, I will go and get busy first." After saying that, Yuan Xueyue turned around and was about to leave.
Guo Liangxian immediately stopped him, "Wait, tonight we..."
Yuan Xueyue interrupted, "No need. The general has won a new favor and should be well taken care of. The small room that Mother Cui arranged for her is really unfair to her."
In the previous life, it was Yuan Xueyue who took care of everything and let Lin Yan'er live in her opera house. She successfully gave birth to a baby boy, which further fueled Lin Yan'er's determination to become a wife!
This time, Yuan Xueyue was too lazy to stretch her hand so far.
"What I mean is, as my wife, it's really unfair that I've neglected you for so many years. It's really lonely for you to live alone in the Pear Garden." Guo Liangxian said.
They have been married for five years but have never consummated their marriage. He wants to give her the tenderness she deserves.
"It's not lonely. Cuiping is here, and Xingge comes to visit occasionally. General, you should take care of your own affairs."
Yuan Xueyue still refused.
Seeing her figure gradually disappearing, Guo Liangxian said dissatisfiedly, "Are you having other thoughts?"
When questioned, Yuan Xueyue sneered.
In her previous life, when she was questioned like this and refused to give up the position of mistress, Guo Liangxian deliberately threw dirty water on her.
Now, she was unwilling to get close to him, but he used this as a threat.
Is a man’s self-esteem so fragile?
"General, if you have evidence, go and tell the old lady. I have nothing to say." Yuan Xueyue left without looking back.
But what shocked Guo Liangxian was that he didn't even know that his wife didn't like him?
Then why did she agree to her father's arrangement and marry him!
Without getting an answer, Guo Liangxian has been confused about his work for the past two days, leaving early and returning late, without any results.
When Nian saw him coming back, she asked, "Has Xing'er found a husband?"
Guo Liangxian shook his head.
"It's only been two days. It won't happen that fast."
Nian said, "Just say that you will be promoted soon. If they can't overcome this, it won't be their turn."
Soon my son will be promoted to the rank of general and be rewarded generously. By then, all kinds of teachers will come to visit him!
With his mother's reminder, Guo Liangxian worked harder in the last half day.
In the palace.
The emperor and the general checked the rewards for the personnel and found that one person's status was strange, so they raised questions.
"Why does he, a low-ranking general, have his own residence?" the emperor was curious.
The general explained, "It was a reward from King Xian, and the mansion was also King Xian's old place."
The emperor laughed, "I see. No need to reward it then. Leave it to someone who needs it more."
After the words were spoken, the news did not reach the general's mansion until the evening of the third day.
This made everyone in the mansion very anxious.
Guo Liangxian also wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and come back to wait for the imperial edict, but unexpectedly, he waited for nothing for the whole afternoon!
Nian was panicking, "Liangxian, is there anything unusual in the court this morning?"
Guo Liangxian shook his head, "There's nothing unusual."
