Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Ch 104: Everyone, Please Stop Talking

Some people here started to jeer, “Assault! Assault!”

Cai Chan was startled and quickly joined Qing Liu to protect Guo Lianglian!

“Bah! Which family’s Paternal Aunt are you, daring to hit this Little Master? I’ll skin you alive!” the man said angrily, but he was stopped by his servants.

In broad daylight, the man still didn’t make a move.

The young lady over there frowned. The man recognized her identity, which is why he didn’t retaliate.

Guo Lianglian, considering herself superior, was not a typical lady of the boudoir, yet she imitated others by wearing a Veil Hat. Inevitably, her behavior was not so discreet.

“Wait, they are…” The young lady over there looked on with doubt.

The carriage nearby seemed to belong to a certain Mansion, not like a declining noble family, and certainly not an ordinary household.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed,

“Isn’t that someone from the Guo family? The Guo family’s servant!”

“Little brother! I remember you! Does your Guo family’s General have a Paternal Aunt?”

“From the General’s Residence! Someone from Little General Guo’s family!”

At these words, Yuan Xueyue turned around to look. A group of people were pointing at Guo Lianglian, and many had already recognized her!

Yuan Xueyue was surprised.

Some of the servants in the Residence were recognizable. No wonder Yuan Xueyue had been carefully training the servants in the Residence for the past six months to handle affairs outside the Residence more often.

In addition, Guo Liangxian had made such a big fuss about establishing the Manor and reconciling with Prince Xian, it was inevitable that the servants in the Residence would benefit from the reflected glory!

Moreover, the maids and servants that Yuan Xueyue had trained overnight were put to use directly today!

She had thought Guo Lianglian could hold out a little longer, but she didn’t expect her to provoke a Little Master right away!

Yuan Xueyue chuckled inwardly. Even if she wanted to vent her anger, she shouldn’t do it in public!

This Paternal Aunt…

Guo Lianglian probably didn’t know that the maids and servants around her were easily recognized!

In the Capital City, there were few prominent figures, and everyone avoided them. Who would have thought that Guo Liangxian was the most imposing, relying on Prince Xian’s Favor and flaunting himself everywhere!

His reputation was almost overshadowing Prince Xian’s.

Everyone just treated it as a joke, but they didn’t dare to offend him.

There were many performances tonight, and everyone was joining in the fun. They didn’t want to make a scene, so they were somewhat careless with their words.

The speaker may be unintentional, but the listener is attentive!

The crowd discussed,

“When did the Guo family have a Paternal Aunt?”

“Don’t you know? I heard that the Guo family used to be from Lucheng and came to the Capital City with His Highness Prince Xian!”

“I remember! I remember! This Guo family is indeed a soldier under Prince Xian. I wonder where General Guo is now?”

“That’s Madam Guo! Dignified and elegant! I wonder who this woman wearing a Veil Hat is? She’s harsh and even attacked the Little Master!”

“Doesn’t she know that the Little Master beside her is not to be trifled with? He’s known as ‘Blabbermouth’. Anyone who offends him will be talked about for days!”

“The Guo family’s Paternal Aunt is alive? Are you two ladies sure? Is this your family’s Paternal Aunt?”

Someone chased after Cai Chan and Qing Liu, pressing them for answers.

It had come to this, what else could be done?

“Heavens! The Guo family’s Paternal Aunt is alive? Wasn’t she married to a very miserable man?”

“Where is the justice! The Fu family isn’t dead yet, and the Guo family’s Paternal Aunt dares to show her face in public?”

“…”

Everyone was pointing and gossiping, and with the Little Master adding fuel to the fire, Guo Lianglian was utterly devalued.

Seeing this, Yuan Xueyue had no choice but to speak up,

“Everyone! Is there some misunderstanding? She is our Guo family’s Paternal Aunt. She was angry with the Little Master and everyone this morning. I’m really sorry. Could you please give General Guo some face and let my Husband’s Sister go?”

Her words caused others to think deeply.

They did indeed need to give General Guo some face!

But there were always those who would gossip,

“Hahahaha! Isn’t this the woman who married into the Fu family? Why is she still alive? I heard you were abandoned!”

◈◈◈

“Where are your children? Oh right, the Guo family adopted so many children from the ancestral hall. Are any of them yours?”

“Say something! Are you mute?”

Yuan Xueyue remained silent and pulled Xing Ge’er forward.

Xing Ge’er was bewildered, unable to understand what was happening, and unaware of what was about to happen to him…

Seeing Xing Ge’er, Guo Lianglian quickly reached out her hand and said, “Ge’er! Come to Mother, Mother is scared…”

Yuan Xueyue, “…”

Xing Ge’er immediately retreated behind Yuan Xueyue to hide, further fueling the crowd’s discussion.

“Heavens! Your husband’s family is dead, and you’re here sightseeing. Who are you wearing the Veil Hat for? Pretending to be pure!”

“And you have such a big, convenient son! It’s a good thing Madam Guo has been taking care of him for so long!”

Some people even recognized Xing Ge’er.

“That’s Xing Ge’er! Mother, I played with them a while ago! Ji Ge’er! You’re all here!” one of his playmates recognized them.

Yuan Xueyue, “…”

The situation was completely unfolding as expected, and even developing more wantonly!

Guo Lianglian covered her face, tears falling.

She couldn’t bear so many people staring at her, and she was even more afraid that everyone would know about her miserable past!

She couldn’t bear it. She hated those past events deeply in her heart: being abandoned by her husband, her child also abandoned at a relative’s house, and even adopted by her sister-in-law!

What’s more, she had narrowly escaped death to return, yet she couldn’t show her face in public, or she would be gossiped about for the rest of her life!

Because she was a woman who had cursed her husband to death and was known for being beaten by him!

It was clearly that man who loved poison/beating his wife and children, but now Guo Lianglian was bearing the brunt of the public opinion!

Why was that man so damned, and even in death, he wouldn’t let her go!

Guo Lianglian was very sad at this moment and just wanted to hug her son. In her anxiety, she even called out Xing Ge’er’s name, making Xing Ge’er the target of public criticism!

Xing Ge’er was terrified and didn’t dare to face the gazes of others.

Yuan Xueyue protected him and said,

“Everyone, please stop talking! The Guo family is of pure background, how can you gossip about it? If you have any complaints, you can go to the Yamen tomorrow, or go to the gate of Prince Xian’s Residence and ask for clarification!”

“Can the Guo family be slandered by your idle gossip?”

“Even if the Guo family’s Paternal Aunt has a thousand kinds of misfortunes, it was the Fu family who wronged and bullied Paternal Aunt first!”

“When a woman suffers, can’t she fight back? Are your hearts so vicious?”

At these words, the others were stunned by Yuan Xueyue’s rhetoric.

They were still somewhat apprehensive about bringing up Prince Xian’s Residence, and the voices of public opinion subsided.

But tonight’s embarrassing incident was imprinted in everyone’s minds!

Guo Lianglian fell heavily to the ground, crying bitterly, but she covered her face and wept, not daring to cry out loud!

She was extremely suppressed, and even her sobs had to be cautious!

Xing Ge’er hid behind Yuan Xueyue the entire time, not wanting to face everyone’s gazes, and even less daring to give Guo Lianglian a comforting hug!

Only Yuan Xueyue felt a little bit of compassion and helped Guo Lianglian by saying a few words.

How the situation would develop next depended on Guo Lianglian’s luck.

Yuan Xueyue knew that Guo Lianglian would cause trouble if she came out, and with her personality, it was inevitable that she would clash with others. She didn’t expect that there was a troublesome Little Master standing right next to her!

Tomorrow, the Capital City would be buzzing…

Status: Ongoing Author: Released: 2023 Native Language: Chinese
Yuan Xueyue, the overlooked illegitimate daughter of a Prefect, was bartered into marriage with Guo Liangxian, a rising soldier she barely knew. Her father, eager to gain favor, used her as a stepping stone, introducing the ambitious young man to Prince Xian. Five years later, Guo Liangxian returned a decorated General, his name echoing with newfound glory – and with a mistress on his arm. Reborn into that fateful moment, Yuan Xueyue refuses to repeat her past. She remembers all too well the years of silent suffering, the constant neglect, and the final, agonizing year spent bedridden, ignored by her husband and scorned by his family. She remembers dying a broken woman, a victim of their ambition and indifference. She will no longer be the dutiful wife, silently enduring humiliation and raising a disloyal nephew while her husband flaunts his affections for another. Let the General have his victory, his honor, and his concubine! She will arrange a lavish ceremony, a final act of defiance before severing ties with the treacherous Guo family. This time, she will not interfere with her adopted nephew's wild spirit, nor will she waste her energy battling the favored concubine. Let them have their chaos. She, the House Master, is quitting! She'll embrace a life free from their drama, quietly filing for divorce and leaving the General's Residence to crumble under its own weight. But fate, it seems, has other plans. As Yuan Xueyue orchestrates her escape, the General, finally realizing the value of what he's lost, embarks on a desperate pursuit, only to find the door to her heart firmly closed. And Prince Xian, observing the unfolding drama with keen interest, whispers, "Luckily, you let go, or this Prince would never have found such a wonderful wife." This time, Yuan Xueyue will write her own destiny, far from the gilded cage of the General's Residence and into the arms of a man who truly sees her worth.
