No one present dared to answer the official, only Yuan Xueyue said,
"Our master has gone out to look for a teacher for his legitimate son and hasn't returned yet. I never thought such a theft would happen in the mansion."
After this story, Nian and his family were completely ashamed to face anyone!
How will others view and comment on such a shameful thing happening in your own house?
When Nian saw the official appear, she was overwhelmed. It took her a while to react. She stood up with the help of Cui Mama and said,
"That's not the case, sir! It wasn't someone from our house who stole it, but this unknown woman next to us!"
Before the official could figure out what was going on, he heard Nian say this.
The official was puzzled. "Oh? What do you mean?"
Everyone then noticed Lin Yan'er curled up by the door. She hugged herself, trembling and looking very scared!
Yuan Xueyue also didn't expect that Nian would think of diverting the danger in the mansion so quickly at the critical moment!
Lin Yan'er shook her head in confusion and helplessness, "No! I didn't! It wasn't me who unlocked it! It wasn't me!"
She was incoherent and couldn't explain herself clearly.
"It's you! Her name is Lin Yan'er. She's the woman my son, the young general, brought back from abroad. I didn't realize she was a thief. Within two days, she stole our money!"
Nian pointed at Lin Yan'er angrily and changed her target without any investigation.
The official looked around blankly, frowned and looked at Yuan Xueyue and said,
"I wonder what you think, Madam? Is this... a family matter or a burglary?"
After much thought, the official decided to respect the small general's mansion in the north of the city. After all, behind it was the former site of King Xian.
Now that their master is away, the lady has the final say, and the warehouse is still managed by the lady.
Nian suddenly looked at Yuan Xueyue, took a few steps forward and wanted to rush over to grab her wrist, but failed!
She said anxiously, "Xueyue, tell me! It's not that your mother-in-law wants to take your dowry, but this woman wants to take the storehouse at home. She's a thief!"
Nian Shi could not care less about so many things. Although she hated Yuan Xueyue for suddenly moving the officials in, the most important thing now was to stabilize the decisions of these officials!
Otherwise, if this gets out, how will their general's mansion maintain its dignity?
Lin Yan'er trembled, covering her face and crying, "I didn't do it! It's not me! It's not me!"
She felt helpless, seemingly suffering from some kind of emotional hurt. Lin Yan'er acted particularly afraid of the official.
Nian scoffed, "If I had known I'd let a thief into the house, I shouldn't have let my son take her back!"
Yuan Xueyue was silent, "..."
She thought for a while, then bowed to the official and said,
"It is just as you have seen and heard. I am truly sorry to trouble you to come over. As for Miss Lin next to you, please deal with her."
The official clapped his hands, feeling very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll take the man away!"
After she finished speaking, seeing that the official was about to take Lin Yan'er away, Nian suddenly felt reluctant to let her go!
"Wait a moment, sir! Show mercy!"
Nian immediately rushed forward to block the way and said, "You can't take this woman away!"
The official was puzzled. "Why? Wasn't she a thief who broke into the house? You, the old lady, admitted it yourself. So many brothers nearby saw and heard it."
Nian was helpless, tears streaming down her face, "No, sir! Although her intentions are not pure, but, but she is pregnant with our general's child! She is pregnant with my son's child!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials were shocked!
What's going on here?
So exciting?
"Madam, are you making a false report? This is a family matter, right?" The official glanced at Yuan Xueyue speechlessly.
If it was really a thief who was brought back and could not be identified, then it would be fine.
But now there is a flesh and blood of the young general of the Guo family. If the future King Xian continues to appreciate him, he might offend this family!
The official didn't dare to touch such a little ancestor and was very dissatisfied.
"It's not a false report. She is indeed the woman our master brought back, and she is pregnant. However, she has no name or status. She wants to use my dowry to fill the gap and wants the master to take her as a concubine as soon as possible. I am helpless." Yuan Xueyue said truthfully, her face as calm as water.
When Nian heard this, she was so angry that she screamed!
"You are so good, Yuan Xueyue! What are you thinking? You actually ruined our general's mansion! You don't want my son to have an easy life at all! You bitch!" Nian scolded.
Yuan Xueyue looked at Nian with a cold expression and said,
"What are you talking about, mother-in-law? Is it wrong for a daughter-in-law to tell the truth? If you hadn't pried open the warehouse without permission, how could such an embarrassing incident have occurred?"
"It's you, mother-in-law, who are the ones who are ruining the reputation of this family!"
Nian cried bitterly, feeling that everything was completely over. Her son had no hope of promotion, and Prince Xian had no definite news!
Now that something like this has happened in the mansion again, it is a huge blow to her daughter!
"It's over! Our family is so unfortunate that we married a daughter-in-law like you! My son is so unlucky! Ah, son, Liangxian, when will you come back? Your wife is bullying me!..." Nian screamed like crazy.
This scene shocked the officials.
They looked unhappy, and suddenly realized: it turned out to be a family scandal!
"Ma'am, we'll take our leave now. Next time, think carefully about something important before you come back to play the drum."
The officials put Lin Yan'er down, bowed, and left.
“…”
Outside the mansion, Guo Liangxian finally found a gentleman with whom he had a pleasant conversation, and it was a female gentleman!
She claimed that she would continue to discuss Xing'er's affairs in detail another day and come to the mansion to visit when she had time.
I believe it will be finalized in a few days!
Moreover, the female teacher is thoughtful and most suitable for teaching before school!
Guo Liangxian felt relieved. He finally got something done. It was almost done!
As he was riding his horse back home, he heard many people whispering to him on the road.
"What are you talking about?" Guo Liangxian said dissatisfiedly, as if he had heard something about his family and told her what happened.
The people nearby said,
"General Guo, a government official has come to visit your home. I don't know what happened, or if your wife took him there. Go back and take a look!"
When Guo Liangxian heard this, he felt something was wrong and immediately whipped his horse and rushed back!
Just as they arrived in front of the mansion, Guo Liangxian jumped off his horse and saw the gate open. Steward Li saw off a dozen officials with a heavy face. All of them had smiles on their faces, and some even lowered their heads to whisper!
Guo Liangxian quickly stepped forward, bowed, and asked,
"Greetings, sirs. What happened in the mansion?"
He tried to hold his breath, anticipating something bad, but he didn't dare to think about it.
The leading official laughed and said,
"Your family has a wonderful wife. I advise you to look after the new girl. Even though she's pregnant with your child, don't let her become arrogant. You're actually eyeing your wife's dowry. This is really embarrassing for your family, haha!"
After the officials finished speaking, they left with a laugh.
