Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 105

Ch 105: The Palm and the Back of the Hand Are Both Flesh

The magic show ended, and the fireworks bloomed with brilliance amidst Guo Lianglian’s silent tears!

Everyone cheered!

Completely joyful, ignoring Guo Lianglian’s pain.

Little Master even spat lightly towards Guo Lianglian, and then applauded the spectacle of the fireworks display!

The scene was boiling.

Guo Lianglian, supported by two maids, didn’t even watch the fireworks and returned to the carriage to wait.

Yuan Xueyue glanced over, a smile on her face, “It’s getting late, and what follows is just some ceremonial thanks. Let’s go back.”

She took Xing Ge’er’s hand and walked towards the carriage.

Only Ji Ge’er, with his arms crossed, was puzzled. He watched the magic show, the fireworks, and his paternal aunt’s embarrassment the whole time?

So vulnerable?

Song Ge’er was even more bewildered. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?

The moment the fireworks bloomed was also the time when Guo Liangxian and his concubine, Meng Huihui, were enjoying their intimate time in the residence.

As soon as they left, the remaining people continued to exchange all the information they knew about the Guo family!

Inside the General’s Residence.

Guo Lianglian returned, her head buried in her room!

Cai Chan hesitated whether to report to Old Madam what happened tonight.

Just then, Madam Nian came over, leaning on her walking stick,

“What happened? Lianglian?”

Qing Liu stepped forward and bowed, “Old Madam! You mustn’t get angry. Tonight, tonight…”

Qing Liu stammered, unable to get to the point.

Madam Nian pushed her aside and was about to walk inside. She had just seen Guo Lianglian covering her face and crying as she walked past, which broke Madam Nian’s heart!

“Don’t block the way! What exactly happened? Why is the veil hat gone?” Madam Nian questioned, having a bad premonition.

Cai Chan stepped forward, and together with Mama Cui, they helped Madam Nian,

“Old Madam, tonight, Husband’s Sister was humiliated and publicly discussed, with people pointing fingers at our Husband’s Sister!”

“We heard it was a loudmouthed Little Master in the Capital City who’s hard to deal with! Probably the son of a storyteller!”

At these words, Madam Nian was so shocked that she almost fainted!

Madam Nian roared, “So, Lianglian has been found out? How did you protect your own Husband’s Sister? You can’t even handle such a small matter?”

Madam Nian scolded, and Cai Chan and Qing Liu immediately knelt down!

Cai Chan explained,

“Please forgive us, Old Madam! Husband’s Sister suddenly got into an argument with someone. It was Husband’s Sister who slapped that Little Master. That Little Master got very angry and exposed Husband’s Sister’s veil hat in public, and then she was talked about.”

Cai Chan’s words made things clear.

Madam Nian felt dizzy, but fortunately, Mama Cui supported her.

She immediately rushed into the room and saw Guo Lianglian picking up scissors to harm herself. Madam Nian was so frightened that she dropped her walking stick and stumbled forward to stop her!

“Lian’er! Lian’er, don’t do anything foolish!”

Madam Nian cried out, falling to the ground with a thud, landing at Guo Lianglian’s feet. The pain in her body was far less than the pain in her heart!

Her daughter, Guo Lianglian, was being gossiped about and pointed at!

It was already difficult enough for her to come back alive. Madam Nian was worried that Guo Lianglian would do something rash. She had finally protected Xing Ge’er’s future, and now her daughter was even more worrying!

Madam Nian didn’t know what sins she had committed!

“…” Guo Lianglian’s eyes were filled with tears, and she looked numbly at Madam Nian’s appearance.

She didn’t help Madam Nian up, but instead, her eyes filled with bloodshot and hot tears, she stared at Madam Nian and said,

“Mother… why treat me like this? You won’t even give Xing Ge’er back to me. What’s the point of me living?”

“Just now, Xing Ge’er wouldn’t even stand beside me, only hiding behind Yuan Xueyue!”

“Why! What right does she have! Sobbing…”

Guo Lianglian cried, raising the scissors to stab herself, but fortunately, Cai Chan and Qing Liu stopped her!

“Husband’s Sister! You mustn’t think of doing anything rash!”

“Husband’s Sister, don’t do this! Old Madam will be heartbroken!”

Mama Cui immediately came over and helped Madam Nian up, dusting her off, and echoed,

“Husband’s Sister, don’t be impulsive! Everything can be discussed. Old Madam will agree to your request.”

At this point, how could Madam Nian disagree?

But the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh!

On one side is her own daughter, and on the other is her precious grandson!

Neither can be missing!

Madam Nian pressed her heaving chest and said, “Lian’er, can you give Mother a few days to think? Just a few days…”

◈◈◈

Guo Lianglian said fiercely, “No, no, no! Give Xing Ge’er back to me quickly! Give him back to me, ah ah ah ah!”

“Sobbing…”

Guo Lianglian was on the verge of a breakdown. Adding to the scene outside just now, her vision blurred, and she suddenly fell backward!

“Husband’s Sister!”

“Husband’s Sister…”

Two maids went up to support her, and Guo Lianglian lay on the bed.

After this ordeal, Madam Nian was also exhausted.

Yuan Xueyue and the others also returned to the residence along with Guo Lianglian. Xing Ge’er tightly clutched Yuan Xueyue’s hand, unwilling to let go!

Xing Ge’er was extremely panicked.

But he didn’t know that the public opinion outside was even greater, attracting Second Son and Second Daughter-in-Law, who were already in the Capital City.

Second Son wondered, “Why is it so lively outside tonight?”

Second Daughter-in-Law said, “The Capital City is always lively… magic shows and such. It’s better to rest early. Let’s go see Ji Ge’er early tomorrow. Don’t bother watching.”

Second Son, “But it’s so noisy outside.”

Second Daughter-in-Law covered his head with the bedding, “Go to sleep! Don’t think so much!”

Second Son, “…”

“You old woman, you’re getting rebellious! Aiya hehe…”

The two flirted in the inn, enjoying the night.

But they didn’t know that they would wake up in the morning completely exhausted, shocked awake by the earth-shattering news on the road!

Listening to others talking about the Guo family’s Husband’s Sister…

Second Daughter-in-Law was shocked, “What’s going on? Eldest Sister is still here? Still alive?”

“Then what about Xing Ge’er?”

Second Son was also stunned, “We’re rich! Let’s go find Eldest Brother! And argue with Eldest Aunt!”

Just after settling Guo Lianglian for the night, Madam Nian was also exhausted. At Chen Shi （around 7-9 AM）, she excused Yuan Xueyue from her morning greetings for the past few days, but instead, she was greeted by the arrival of her eldest nephew!

Mama Cui hurriedly said,

“Old Madam, it’s bad! Second Master’s Family’s Second Son and Second Daughter-in-Law have arrived! They know about Husband’s Sister’s news!”

Madam Nian sat up in shock, “Weren’t they coming to visit Ji Ge’er?”

Ji Ge’er’s biological father and mother, that is, Madam Nian’s nephew and niece-in-law, Second Master’s Family’s Second Son and Second Daughter-in-Law.

The spring festival hasn’t arrived yet; it’s just past the spring night. Did they come so soon?

Madam Nian waved her hand, wanting to avoid them,

“Tell them to leave! Just say I’m sick and not receiving guests!”

Mama Cui said helplessly, “Second Young Master and the others are already waiting in the main hall of the residence. I estimate that Wife has already gone to receive them.”

Hearing this, Madam Nian choked on a mouthful of blood!

Guo Liangxian also felt relieved early in the morning, having heard the truth from the servants in the residence!

He never expected his older sister to be so outrageous!

To actually hit a Little Master in public!

Guo Liangxian was annoyed and restless. Now that the Guo family was at the height of its power, it couldn’t withstand such a setback!

Just as he was thinking, Second Uncle’s Family’s Second Son arrived!

Guo Liangxian quickly sent a servant to the Prince’s Residence to inquire about Lord Xiaozhao’s whereabouts!

Now, only someone from the Prince’s Residence could come forward to help him!

But all those Guo Liangxian sent were like stones sinking into the sea, with no news!
