Jade Palace
"Sister, take a look at your room. If there's anything you need to buy, tell me and I'll come and get it for you right away."
Yu Yuanbai was busy running around, as diligent as a servant.
Such a Jade General made Yinggu laugh, "Master, you should take a break. I have lived here for more than ten years, how can I not get used to it?"
Yu Yuanbai said with a smile, "Although my sister has lived here for more than ten years, she hasn't come back for a long time. I can't say why she is not happy with it."
Su Man touched the bed and said, "It's nice here. I like it very much."
Yu Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you like it, sister, I'm glad you've been wronged over the years. You don't have to go back to the Nie Mansion anymore. If that jerk doesn't sign the divorce agreement, I'll personally submit a petition."
"Brother, please be patient. If today's events were to get out, Nie You would be embarrassed. He would surely come to visit soon. However, I would like to ask you to do something else for me."
"What?"
"Please help me check Qin Wanrou's hometown. It is said to be a village in Anyang."
"Okay, I'll have someone check it out later. You should have a good rest and don't bother yourself."
Seeing that Yu Yuanbai still had no intention of leaving after he finished speaking, Yinggu finally chased him away, "Master, if you stay here all the time, Madam can't sleep either."
Yu Yuanbai sighed, "Oh, I remember Yinggu was just a little follower behind me back then, but I never thought she would become so vicious in the blink of an eye. My deputy general Hailan has been thinking about you for so many years and never married you, but now she has become such a vicious woman. I'm afraid he's going to regret it."
Yinggu's face flushed, "Master, you're talking nonsense again."
Yu Yuanbai curled his lips and smiled, "I'm just talking nonsense, why are you blushing? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Yinggu was embarrassed and annoyed, "Madam, look at the young master."
Su Man didn't know that Yinggu had such a fate. She pulled Yu Yuanbai and said, "Good brother, since this boy is so infatuated, please help them get together."
Yinggu stamped her feet in anger and said, "I won't talk to you anymore."
After saying that, she ran out.
Su Man looked at Yinggu's back and Yu Yuanbai's smiling face with a smile, and felt that Yu Man had missed too much. She could have had a different life.
Life in the Jade Mansion is so comfortable.
There was no intrigue in the Nie family, nor was there any sarcasm from Nie's mother. She just ate, drank and had fun every day. Although Yu Yuanbai was busy with official duties, he would bring her some new and interesting gadgets when he came back every day.
On this day, Yu Yuanbai was asking Su Man to guess which peach blossom pastry was from Su Bao Zhai when someone came with an invitation saying that Doctor Lu's wife was hosting a peach blossom banquet and had invited all the friends in the city. She insisted that Yu Yuanbai and Yu Man should attend.
Yu Yuanbai smiled as he took the invitation, "What a coincidence! We're enjoying peach blossom pastries, and Madam Song is actually hosting a peach blossom banquet."
Su Man asked, "Will Princess Pingyang go?"
The person who delivered the invitation bowed and said, "Of course."
Su Man nodded and said, "Thank you. Go and claim your reward."
After they left, Yu Yuanbai said, "Master Lu and Master Song are both the Crown Prince's right-hand men. We should be honored. However, I'm afraid the Crown Prince will also go."
"Your men are outside, I'll just be careful to avoid them. Besides, I still have my brother to take care of me."
Yu Yuanbai couldn't stand Su Man's coquettish behavior. When she acted coquettishly, he wanted to give her his heart and soul. How could he not agree? "Okay, okay, I will be your door god and I will never let you be seen."
...
Lord Song is a civil servant, and his family has been scholars for generations. The decoration of his mansion is also very elegant, with a new scene at every step, and the water lotus in front of the hall is particularly fragrant.
Mrs. Song was an extremely gentle woman. When she saw Su Man, she smiled and said, "Sister, you are here. I haven't seen you for a long time. You missed me very much."
Su Man bowed and said, "I'm sorry to have missed you."
Madam Song held her hand and helped her up. "Madam Qihou is right in front. She has been talking about my sister for a long time. You should go over and see her."
"Why."
As soon as Su Man arrived at the flower hall, she saw several ladies sitting inside. The one in the middle was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had gold ornaments on her head. A pair of phoenixes looked her up and down as if they had seen an enemy.
This is Princess Pingyang. Although her husband's family was exiled, with Prince Kang around, she was not implicated. Instead, she remained as arrogant as ever.
When Lady Qi Hou saw Su Man, she stood up and came to greet her. "Sister, you're here. It's just right. I'll walk with you." After that, she took Su Man's arm and led her out.
The two of them walked all the way to a small garden secluded from others, and the wife of the Marquis of Qi spoke, "Sister, there are rumors in the city recently that you want to divorce the general. Is it true or false?"
Su Man looked at the corner of clothes that flashed by not far away and nodded, "Yes, I want to divorce the general."
"Why? Sister, your divorce will definitely become everyone's gossip after dinner."
Although the wife of the Marquis of Qi usually clamors a lot, divorce is a big deal for her and she does not agree with it.
Su Man sighed, "The general dotes on Miss Qin. I no longer have a place in the general's mansion. I'd better leave as soon as possible."
"What? General Nie still favors that bitch? She lent money privately at high interest rates, didn't the general kick her out?" Lady Qihou couldn't believe it.
"It's not that easy. The general just scolded him a few times and let him go."
The wife of the Marquis of Qi could hardly hide her anger. "No wonder my sister is angry. I've heard that she used her dowry to subsidize the General's Mansion. After all she's done, yet she's still worth less than a lowly servant. It's truly infuriating. But... your marriage to the General was arranged by His Majesty, so I'm afraid it'll be difficult to explain."
Su Man looked troubled. "That's the difficulty. Although I've already agreed to a divorce with the general and I've moved out of the Nie Mansion, the emperor is already angry with the general because he didn't do a good job with the bank, so I'm afraid it's not easy to bring it up..."
...
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the master and servant eavesdropping on them.
"Princess, it seems the rumors are true. Yuman really wants to divorce the general."
This maidservant was dressed differently from the others, looking more noble than the ordinary ladies. She said carefully, "But, since the general dotes on Miss Qin so much, I'm afraid..."
Princess Pingyang snorted coldly, "She's just a lowly servant, yet she dreams of becoming the general's concubine. Yuman is just too weak. If it were me, hmph."
"That's true. Even when the son-in-law was so charming, he was still completely subdued by the princess. The princess's skills are more than enough to deal with these lowly maids."
The maidservant said in a kind tone, "I didn't expect that the general and the princess would be so destined to be together. It's really destined by heaven."
Princess Pingyang was so overjoyed by what she heard that she couldn't contain herself. "Since the divorce is true, go out and inform your father and have him go to the palace to ask His Majesty for help."
"Why."
After the maid walked away, Princess Pingyang held the pear blossom branch in front of her tightly in her palm.
Back then, she missed out on the chance, and later, she trusted the wrong person, and her husband's family was exiled. Unexpectedly, the general and his wife are no longer on good terms, and it's truly a match made in heaven that they can rekindle their past relationship.
As for those lowly maids in the mansion, haha.
