Chapter 2: The General's Pet (02)



The next day, the wedding took place.

At the critical moment, Madam Hong was afraid that Jiang Jingyu would cause trouble again, so she went to the side yard in person and watched the matchmaker combing her hair and makeup. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw her being helped by the matchmaker into the wedding sedan chair.

Once the wedding sedan arrived at the general's mansion, this marriage would have nothing to do with Ran'er at all, and her daughter would no longer have to live as a widow in the general's mansion.

In the future, whether the man or woman gets married will have nothing to do with each other. With Ran'er's background and appearance, a bright future is waiting for her.

Looking at the departing wedding sedan, Madam Hong curled her lips in relief. Her ambition was far more than that of a small general.

She has to ask Ran'er to prepare well for the Cuju Appreciation Banquet half a month later, so that she can shine in front of the princes!

At that time, the general's mansion.

An angry shout came from Yayuan.

"This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous! Is this how the Prime Minister's Mansion treats their savior? This is simply too much!"

After learning that the person sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion was the second young lady Jiang Jingyu, who had no protection from any maternal family, Fu Yanci's mother Qin smashed the teacup in anger.

Fu Yanci's father once saved the prime minister's life and was the savior of the prime minister's mansion. Because of this, the two families became friends.

Later, Fu Yanci and Jiang Jingran were born one after another. The old general and the prime minister arranged a marriage for the two children after getting drunk.

Although Fu Yanci and Jiang Jingran were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, Fu Yanci was sent to the training ground by his father when he was seven years old, and went to war with his father at the age of thirteen. The number of times the two met during this period could be counted on one hand.

Apart from being childhood playmates, there is no romantic relationship between the two.

Later, Fu Yanci was poisoned, and Jiang Jingran didn't want to marry him and live as a widow anymore.

"Madam, please don't be angry. Today is the general's big day, and the guests are outside congratulating him!"

The nanny beside Qin persuaded her kindly and gently stroked her back to help her calm down.

"Congratulations? Haha, I think they are here to laugh at me!"

Qin snorted coldly, her chest heaving with anger.

"No, I can't swallow this. I must go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask for an explanation!"

As she was about to rush out the door, it was pushed open with great force.

"Stop! Let's see who dares to disrupt Yan Ci's wedding!"

Madam Fu walked in from outside with a sullen face, and her cold gaze fell directly on Qin.

Qin swallowed subconsciously and felt a little timid.

"Mother, mother, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come earlier, how would I have known that you had such an intention to ruin Yan Ci's wedding with your own hands?!"

Qin quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, that's not the case. Mother, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to ruin Yan Ci's wedding. It's just that the Xiangfu is going too far!"

"Our General's Mansion has already backed down on this marriage, but they're still going so far as to send a concubine's daughter with no maternal family background to marry Yan Ci. Isn't this clearly showing that they don't take our General's Mansion seriously?!"

"Are they bullying the orphans and widows in our general's mansion? I must go to the prime minister's mansion and ask for an explanation from them!"

Qin gritted her teeth and became angrier the more she thought about it!

"Nonsense! What does Yanci's marriage have to do with whether his grandson's wife has a maternal family background? What do you take Yanci's marriage for granted?"

"Qin Fengwan, I'm warning you. Yan Ci wants to marry someone who understands him and can stay with him for the rest of his life. There's no such thing as a political marriage!"

"As long as I am here, the General's Mansion won't have to sacrifice Yan Ci's happiness!"

Madam Fu had a scowl on her face and kept tapping the ground with her cane.

Qin hadn't seen the old lady get angry for a long time. Even when the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to cancel the engagement, the old lady didn't get angry. She just took a step back and agreed to let the Prime Minister's concubine marry in her sister's place.

As time went by, Qin had forgotten that the old lady also came from a military family. When she was young, she had fought on the battlefield with General Fu and had made great military achievements. Now she even had a first-class imperial edict.

With her around, even if her father-in-law and husband died in the battlefield, the general's mansion would still have supreme glory, and no one could shake it in the slightest!

It's really not my turn to sacrifice Yan Ci's lifelong happiness to consolidate the General's Mansion's status...

"But, but mother, the one marrying in is the second daughter of the Xiangfu. I heard that the second daughter is very timid and usually doesn't even dare to breathe. If someone like this marries in, will Yanci really be happy?"

"My ideal daughter-in-law is someone like Ran'er who is well-spoken and presentable!"

"Besides, I heard that she agreed to marry Yan Ci in order to save the maidservant beside her. She didn't do it willingly. To sacrifice the rest of her life for the life of a maidservant is really stupid!"

Qin clenched her fists. In the final analysis, she was not satisfied with the person sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Shut up! Since she's willing to marry me, don't say that again! If I hear those words again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The old lady shouted angrily and glared at Qin.

"From my perspective, this child is someone who values ​​friendship and loyalty, or do you think you can control the arrogant daughter of the prime minister? Qin Fengwan, before you talk about others, don't forget your own origins!"

Qin, who was also born a concubine's daughter, felt embarrassed and opened her mouth but was unable to refute.

"What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for the guests to laugh at the General's Mansion?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go to the front yard to greet the guests!"

Under the old lady's harsh rebuke, Qin shuddered and walked out with her head held high.

After Qin left, the old lady closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Seeing this, the nanny beside her hurried forward and held the old lady's arm: "Old lady, you know the lady's temper. There's no need to get angry with her. If you get angry and get sick, you will be the one who suffers."
