Chapter 21 Lei Nian'er remembered the princess's thoughts she had heard before

Lei Ning entered the main courtyard and saw Mrs. Lei's gentle and considerate appearance for the first time.

The sound of "General~~~~~~" which took eighteen turns gave him goosebumps.

"If you have something to say, just say it." He retorted to her, and Mrs. Lei's face suddenly turned bad.

Maybe it was because Lei Ning had never rejected her when she humbled herself.

This time she has already taken the initiative to admit her mistake, but her attitude is still so cold and hard.

This person must have cursed him thousands of times in his heart.

Indeed, she could no longer keep her smile on, but thinking of her parents' instructions, she still forced a stiff smile and lowered her head meekly.

"General, I know I was wrong. I will treat your children well in the future."

"But I feel like you don't really mean what you said."

Mrs. Lei, who was repeatedly humiliated, got angry: "Lei Ning! I have already apologized to you, what else do you want from me? It's already good that I don't target Lei Nian'er in the future, do you still want me to treat her as my own daughter?"

The favored person is fearless, and she has always been the favored one.

"It was you who said that there would be no eldest son or daughter born in a concubine's belly. You were the first to break your promise!"

Usually after she said this, Lei Ning would forgive her for her harsh treatment of Aunt Gui and her daughter.

But this time, he asked, "So you want me to die?"

Mrs. Lei froze all of a sudden.

"General... General, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You really don't understand, or are you pretending not to understand? We have been married for six years, and I never dreamed that the person next to me would want me dead!"

He gripped the corner of the table tightly, suppressing his impulse and anger.

Mrs. Lei was very panicked, but she still tried to argue: "General! You have no evidence, why do you want to wrongly accuse me?"

It was obvious at first glance that she was feeling lucky and thought he was cheating on her.

Well, then let her die knowing full well.

"You know very well that it is a taboo for a military commander to win the hearts of the people, but you have been advising me to support my brothers in the army on my own."

"You know very well that His Majesty is wary of forming cliques for personal gain, yet you have been using my name to win over your subordinates."

"You even planted false evidence of treason in my study."

"What is the fate of treason? Slow execution and extermination of all nine clans."

"You and your family have really been fooled by King Lu. If that day comes, will he expose himself to protect you?"

Mrs. Lei's face turned paler with every word he spoke.

After she finished her last sentence, she finally exploded:

"What do you know?"

"You promised that the eldest son and daughter must be born to me, but when Lei Nian'er was born, I knew that you were not someone I could rely on."

"Your promises will change because of your feelings and interests!"

"How do you know that King Lu won't save us? You are just speculating."

"My mother is right. As long as my father can get promoted, I can find any kind of husband I want."

Lei Ning held his forehead with his hand, his heart filled with disappointment.

"For this, you are willing to help the rebels and put me to death?"

He clapped his hands for a drink.

"For the sake of our relationship, I beg His Majesty to spare your head and give you a whole body instead."

Mrs. Lei was suddenly confused. She thought she would be divorced, but she didn't expect to die.

"Wha…what?"

"You are guilty of treason. Do you think this is just a petty quarrel among the concubines?"

She was really panicking now. She grabbed Lei Ning's clothes helplessly and begged: "General! General, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"I will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future. I don't want to think about anything else. I will spend the rest of my life in a Buddhist temple repenting for the rest of my life."

But when Lei Ning saw her face full of tears, he no longer felt that she was pitiful or lovable, but only disgusting.

"Enter the temple? You are dreaming, aren't you? The family members of the traitor who are spared the death penalty will also be exiled to a bitter and cold place."

"You know what? If His Majesty hadn't trusted me and given me a chance to make amends, my flesh would have been scraped off piece by piece, and I would have been killed alive by three thousand cuts."

"After I die, Nian'er and Nan'er will both be made prostitutes."

The more he spoke, the more hateful he became. Lei Ning directly ordered the servant: "Take action!"

No matter how hard she struggled, she could only force poisoned wine down her throat with the corners of her mouth pinched.

His body twitched on the ground, and he died after spurting out a mouthful of blood.

But no one noticed that a blood-red eye appeared from the gap in the screen.

Lei Naner covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

Lei Nian'er saw that her aunt was sad, so she thought of chatting to divert her attention.

"Aunt, the last time I saw the eldest princess, she was so cute!"

"I know. The eldest princess is adorable. You've said it many times." Aunt Gui was helpless.

"Then when can I see the princess next time?"

It’s so magical that she can hear the eldest princess’s thoughts. How interesting it would be if she were by her side every day!

And because she can hear the princess's thoughts, she can know what the princess likes and build a closer relationship with her.

If she could become a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, her and her aunt's life in the General's Mansion would be much easier.

Aunt Gui hesitated and said, "Maybe we have to wait until the princess's first birthday banquet. But I don't know if we can still go."

"Is there no way to see the princess more often?"

Aunt Gui looked at her daughter's large handwriting and suddenly came up with a good idea to coax her to study: "Princesses will choose study companions when they grow up. If you are good at studying, you may become a study companion for the princess."

Aunt Gui spread out the paper and whispered devilishly with a smile: "So you have to do the homework assigned by the teacher well~"

Lei Nian'er: ...Actually, I don't really want to see the princess that much.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, followed by the voice of a maid: "Aunt Gui! Miss!"

Aunt Gui frowned and said unhappily, "Didn't you tell me to be quiet? What if it affects the young lady's studies?"

"Aunt, something terrible has happened." The maid said breathlessly.

Aunt Gui was indifferent: "Nothing can disturb the young lady's studies."

But the maid's next words let her know that something could still disturb the young lady's studies: "The lady was executed."

It was a shocking news, like a bolt from the blue for the two of them.

"What's going on?"

"My wife's family was implicated in a conspiracy case, and all of her clan was implicated."

"What should we do? Then we ..."

Aunt Gui pointed in the direction of the main courtyard and cursed:

"This damn star! My poor Nian'er, that old witch was of no use when she was alive, and she wants to take us mother and daughter with her when she dies!"

After saying that, she suddenly stood up and rummaged through the drawers, taking out her few valuable things.

At the same time, he said to Lei Nian'er and the maid who notified them, "Hurry up and pack up, we have to escape before the imperial officers and soldiers come to arrest us!"

The maid hesitated and reminded: "Will the general be very angry?"

Aunt Gui quickly packed up her things without stopping: "Who cares if he's angry or disappointed? Who cares if he's going to die?"

At this time, Lei Nian'er held down Aunt Gui, because she suddenly remembered the words she had heard from the eldest princess before: [Fortunately, the emperor believed General Lei and did not let him fall into the trap.]
