Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 96

Ch 96: Prince Xian Has Left!

Who would Prince Xian personally visit? Wouldn’t they be summoned to the Prince’s Residence for a visit? Or perhaps to the Imperial Palace for a discussion with His Majesty?

Xiaozhao came over and gestured to help, “Little General Guo, get up. Don’t let your mother stand for so long.”

Guo Liangxian reacted, immediately getting up to help Old Madam Nian to sit down.

After standing for a while, Old Madam Nian was already feeling a little dizzy and overwhelmed. Fortunately, Lord Xiaozhao, who was beside Prince Xian, noticed that her complexion was not right.

Xiaozhao instructed, “Little General Guo, pay attention. As the head of a general’s household, you should prioritize your wife and elderly mother. It’s not like our Prince doesn’t care for his soldiers.”

Guo Liangxian repeatedly said, “Yes, yes, yes, this subordinate was inconsiderate.”

Dai Yixian drank two cups of tea and savored them slowly. One or two quarters of an hour had passed, but to Guo Liangxian, it felt like a whole day! Old Madam Nian sat down and recovered, saying, “Prince Xian is considerate of his soldiers, so why not have a meal at the residence today? The residence’s chef has already prepared everything.”

“Please give our Liangxian a chance, he will do a good job.”

However, Yuan Xueyue remained silent, making Old Madam Nian anxious enough to speak.

Today’s goal was to have Prince Xian eat and drink well, and stay in the residence for a longer time! That way, when they went out, the Guo family would have more face!

Guo Liangxian chimed in, “Yes, Prince Xian, this subordinate begs you to stay for a meal. The residence has already prepared the dishes, just waiting for your word!”

Xiaozhao frowned.

This Little General Guo was really pushing his luck. He guessed that Prince Xian wouldn’t agree. Sure enough, Dai Yixian didn’t respond, but his expression darkened.

With every passing moment, Guo Liangxian’s heart grew more anxious and worried, his hair standing on end!

Seeing this, Yuan Xueyue pursed her lips, stood up, and bowed,

“Prince Xian, please forgive us. The residence’s chef may not be as skilled as the Imperial Palace’s chefs or the Prince’s Residence’s chefs. Please do not blame us.”

As she spoke, Yuan Xueyue still lowered her head, a shadow imprinted on her face.

Guo Liangxian, on the other hand, occasionally raised his head slightly to glance at Prince Xian’s expression, trying to guess Prince Xian’s thoughts! Dai Yixian was very unwilling to see this situation.

Clearly, back then, they almost…

But now, she was already married! Dai Yixian’s heart sank, and thoughts of sorrow filled his mind.

He abruptly stood up.

Guo Liangxian was startled, “Prince Xian…”

Dai Yixian put his hands behind his back, his expression cold, “No need. General Guo, live a good life, and don’t neglect your hardworking First Wife.”

With that, Dai Yixian left the Main Hall without looking back!

Xiaozhao was also surprised and quickly prepared to follow, but Guo Liangxian grabbed him and said, “What’s wrong with Prince Xian?”

He looked upset!

Xiaozhao shook off his hand and said, “Don’t panic, it’s nothing serious.”

After saying that, Xiaozhao followed him out. Manager Li was waiting outside. Seeing Prince Xian and Lord Xiaozhao come out, he immediately went up to them and followed them out of the residence.

Guo Liangxian didn’t have time to react, glancing at Yuan Xueyue, who had caused such a big reaction from Prince Xian with her words.

He gritted his teeth and immediately chased after them!

“Prince Xian, farewell, this subordinate will see you off!”

Guo Liangxian ran over quickly, personally accompanying Prince Xian and Lord Xiaozhao out of the residence.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Dai Yixian got in without looking back the whole time!

Xiaozhao was also puzzled, and facing Guo Liangxian, who came forward to ask, he said, “Little General Guo, please go back. Prince Xian doesn’t need you to worry, he just came to visit the soldiers today.”

“Prince Xian has high hopes for you, don’t disappoint him, and be sure to set an example!”

With that, Xiaozhao waved his hand to let the guards go.

Guo Liangxian silently watched them leave, his face full of confusion! Prince Xian’s thoughts were truly hard to guess! If he could know, he wouldn’t have remained a lower-ranking general for so long.

Sigh…

Guo Liangxian sighed lightly and turned to enter the residence.

Manager Li also ordered the servants to stand guard properly. Prince Xian had visited today, so they should all hold their heads high and be imposing! Although the whole process was calm and uneventful.

◈◈◈

But Old Madam Nian in the Main Hall still found a clue! Seeing Guo Liangxian chase out, Old Madam Nian said, “How could you speak like that? Was it so difficult to ask Prince Xian to stay for a meal? Why did you have to say that!”

Yuan Xueyue said truthfully, “Your daughter-in-law spoke the truth to avoid Prince Xian being unhappy with the meal and taking it out on the General.”

Old Madam Nian said, “You spoke the truth so early, do you want to ruin our Guo family before you stop?”

Yuan Xueyue bowed and curtsied, “Mother-in-law misunderstands, your daughter-in-law had no ill intentions.”

Old Madam Nian’s tone was unkind, “Does it matter if you did or not? Now Prince Xian has left!”

“Your daughter-in-law was wrong, I hope mother-in-law will punish me.”

Yuan Xueyue didn’t say another word and directly knelt down.

Her sincere attitude of admitting her mistake immediately gave Old Madam Nian a headache! “You’re always like this, do you really think I can’t do anything to you?” Old Madam Nian’s head was spinning.

Outside, Mama Cui came in and helped her up, “Why did Prince Xian leave? So quickly?”

Counting the time, it was only a little over a quarter of an hour, not even the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

Old Madam Nian angrily pointed at Yuan Xueyue, who was kneeling on the ground, “It’s all because of my good daughter-in-law, speaking such blunt truths! Who doesn’t know that the chefs in our residence are not as skilled as the chefs in the Prince’s Residence or the Imperial Palace?”

“You just had to add that!”

Mama Cui helped Old Madam Nian sit down and said, “It’s that simple? Prince Xian left just because of that?”

Old Madam Nian gave her a look, “It was because of that! Could it be fake?”

It was precisely because she spoke that Prince Xian left in low spirits!

Guo Liangxian chased out and came back, his face downcast, extremely unhappy.

Originally, his expectations were very low, just hoping to keep Prince Xian for a little longer. But Prince Xian showed that he was very considerate of his soldiers, and Guo Liangxian’s hopes instantly rose! Then, Prince Xian suddenly left, instantly making Guo Liangxian’s mood plummet!

The unpredictable His Highness Prince Xian, he couldn’t have offended him, could he? Old Madam Nian saw him come in and grabbed his sleeve, “Look at your wife, she doesn’t care about etiquette, and she even angered Prince Xian with a few words!”

“Tell me, will Prince Xian blame our Guo family in the end? Confiscate the residence and throw us in jail?”

“Tell me! Liangxian!” Old Madam Nian said urgently.

Guo Liangxian’s expression was calm, obviously not afraid or anxious, because Prince Xian had already left, and the pressure was gone.

He had also questioned Xiaozhao twice just now. Xiaozhao said that Prince Xian was not blaming him.

But why did he suddenly leave?

“What exactly do you want?” Guo Liangxian glanced coldly at Yuan Xueyue.

Yuan Xueyue said, “I spoke the truth, and I don’t know why Prince Xian left.”

She was also stunned in her heart.

As soon as she finished speaking, Prince Xian thought for a moment and immediately got up and left!

Although this move was very surprising, Yuan Xueyue was excited in her heart!

At least she didn’t let Old Madam Nian and Guo Liangxian be happy for too long!

Just enough, just right! It’s just that Yuan Xueyue’s situation would not be very good next.

Old Madam Nian scolded, “You don’t know, yet you still spoke nonsense! You’re really making a mess!”

“If anything happens to our Guo family, we won’t let you off even In the Afterlife! You are also a daughter-in-law of our Guo family, what benefits one will benefit all, and what harms one will harm all!”

Old Madam Nian was right, which was why Yuan Xueyue wouldn’t act recklessly.

She didn’t want it to turn out like this either.

But Old Madam Nian’s words would sooner or later come true!
