Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Ch 92: I Have a Mother!

This was His Highness Prince Xian! Who wouldn’t want to climb to a higher branch? In the past six months, Guo Liangxian had seen the Prince only a handful of times. He wondered where the Prince who commanded hundreds of troops on the battlefield had gone. Yuan Xueyue said, “Of course, it’s convenient. May I ask, Lord, did the Prince say when?”

Xiaozhao rested his chin on his hand and said, “I don’t know. He will probably see you before the new year. There should be news in the next two days.”

Guo Liangxian immediately said, “Then is the Prince at the Capital City Prince’s Residence? Why did the guards at your gate tell me the day before yesterday that you were not at the residence when I went to inquire?”

Xiaozhao, “…”

How could he admit such a thing himself? He didn’t want you to bother him so much, did he?

Guo Liangxian was full of doubts, but Xiaozhao suddenly got up from his seat.

He hadn’t answered his question yet!

Xiaozhao bowed slightly to them and said,

“No need to see me off. The servants of the Prince’s Residence will come to inform you of the news.”

Watching Xiaozhao leave, Manager Li led him out of the residence. Guo Liangxian hurriedly followed! “Brother Xiaozhao! Please explain it clearly!”

Guo Liangxian followed him out.

Yuan Xueyue sat alone, inexplicably feeling troubled.

Would the Prince really come to the General’s Residence in person?

Guo Liangxian, with such a grand display?

Yuan Xueyue closed her eyes and opened them again. Even so, she had to entertain him well.

Cuiping came in, ready to change the tea again. Yuan Xueyue stopped her and said,

“No need. Let’s go back to the Pear Garden.”

When the two of them, master and servant, returned to the Back Courtyard, they encountered Paternal Aunt Guo Lianglian from the Peach Apricot Pavilion.

She was waiting here specifically.

“You’re finally here.” There was a slight chill in Guo Lianglian’s eyes.

Yuan Xueyue saw that the other party had bad intentions and respectfully saluted, “Husband’s Sister, what important matter do you have?”

She thought it would be about the clothes, but Guo Lianglian said,

“You made Xing Ge’er like that. Don’t think that just because Mother won’t punish you, I will let you go!”

Cuiping immediately put on a defensive posture, blocking Yuan Xueyue, fearing that this Paternal Aunt, who didn’t understand the rules, would act recklessly.

Yuan Xueyue smiled gently, “What does Husband’s Sister want to do to me?”

She wanted to see.

Guo Lianglian took two steps forward, but Cai Chan and Qing Liu beside her signaled her not to be impulsive. Cuiping in front also meant that she was not allowed to approach.

There were three servants between them.

Guo Lianglian said, “Now Xing Ge’er is still lying on the bed, unable to move! If you have the heart, go and take a look!”

Yuan Xueyue frowned, “If Husband’s Sister wants to go, you can go yourself.”

Guo Lianglian was surprised.

If she could go, she would have gone herself long ago!

But Xing Ge’er seemed to be possessed. She had tried to find him several times, but he avoided her! He even threatened, “If you come to see me again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Guo Lianglian was so scared that she didn’t dare to approach.

Guo Lianglian pretended to be confident and said, “Of course I can go! But you made Xing Ge’er like that, shouldn’t you go and take a look?”

“You’re always in the Pear Garden, managing affairs in the residence. Do you really consider Xing Ge’er your son?!”

“If you don’t, can you give him back to me!”

Guo Lianglian said it all in one breath, all her inner thoughts were at work.

Yuan Xueyue had always been clear about this, but she couldn’t be impatient.

She said, “Alright, if Husband’s Sister wants to go, then this sister-in-law will accompany you.”

With that, Yuan Xueyue turned and walked away.

Cuiping followed. For a moment, Guo Lianglian was at a loss! Guo Lianglian didn’t say anything else and lifted her feet to walk.

◈◈◈

They came to the Small Yard next to the Pear Garden together. It was peaceful and serene here. The slightly cold air shuttled back and forth. Only one or two maids were trimming branches and sweeping fallen snow in the courtyard.

The maids noticed Madam, and the Paternal Aunt behind her, and immediately stepped forward to salute, “Greetings, Madam. Greetings, Paternal Aunt.”

The sound from the Study was quiet. The window was slightly closed, and wisps of charcoal smoke seemed to drift out. Song Ge’er was reading inside.

In fact, this sound had already attracted Song Ge’er’s attention, but he restrained himself from coming out.

Yuan Xueyue nodded. The maid said, “Third Young Master is in the study…”

Before the maid could finish, Guo Lianglian immediately stepped forward and grabbed the maid’s arm, saying,

“Where is Xing Ge’er? How is he? Which room is he resting in?”

The maid was puzzled. Usually, it was Madam who came to visit. It was not appropriate for Paternal Aunt to come, right?

But seeing how nervous Paternal Aunt was, and with Old Madam’s order, Paternal Aunt was not allowed to get too close to Second Young Master. Second Young Master also told the maids not to let Paternal Aunt get close! But Paternal Aunt’s only obsession was here.

Yuan Xueyue said, “We won’t disturb Third Young Master today. Let’s go see Second Young Master.”

The maid obeyed and bowed slightly to lead the way.

Although the Small Yard was not big, there were several rooms. They sometimes shuttled around to play, treating this place as a playground.

Now both Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master had received minor family punishments. They were hiding in the room, each lying on a soft couch, warming themselves by the warm charcoal fire, and resting with their eyes closed.

Creak.

The door was pushed open. The maid said, “Young Master, Madam has arrived.”

As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Ge’er and Xing Ge’er both looked up at the same time! The cold wind rushed in, but it couldn’t stop Xing Ge’er’s eagerness to get up!

But before Yuan Xueyue could come up, a figure rushed to him and hugged him tightly!

Xing Ge’er was suddenly shocked and angry.

“You!” Xing Ge’er was stunned.

With just one glance, he saw his mother at the door, looking down at him from above, with a kind and gentle face, like a soft light descending.

But the mother in front of him hugged him wholeheartedly and shouted, “Ge’er! How are you? Are you feeling better?”

“The pain in your body is the pain in your mother’s heart! Ge’er, you have suffered!”

Guo Lianglian’s tone was choked with sobs.

Xing Ge’er was expressionless and completely ignored Guo Lianglian’s words. His eyes were fixed on Yuan Xueyue.

Ji Ge’er was lying alone, ignored. He could only say weakly, “Mother, please forgive your son for not being able to get up and salute you.”

Yuan Xueyue waved her hand, “It’s alright. It’s important for you to rest well. Two days ago, it was your mother who was abrupt.”

Ji Ge’er, “…”

What’s the use of saying this now!

The beating has already been done!

And the mother and son next to them, don’t be so excessive, okay?

Just as Ji Ge’er couldn’t stand it, Xing Ge’er couldn’t stand Guo Lianglian’s closeness even more. He reached out to push her away and said coldly, “Mother, please behave yourself. I have a mother!”

Guo Lianglian was stunned, “Since you call me mother, why can’t you call me mother?”

“Mother only has you! These past two days, Mother has been heartbroken and has always wanted to visit you, but the maids at the door kept saying that it was inconvenient for you to meet.”

Xing Ge’er was annoyed. He was over eight years old and almost nine, and he already had some of his own thoughts! Guo Lianglian’s closeness to him only brought harm and no benefit!

Besides, when she and Father, they bullied him since he was a child, ordering around a small child, without good food or good clothes!

Xing Ge’er even doubted how he survived before he was four years old!

Later, when he was less than four years old, he was personally thrown to his Distant Uncle’s house by his mother! Xing Ge’er clearly remembered how he survived in his Distant Uncle’s house! He lacked food, clothing, and everything. Not only did he suffer hardships, but he was also ordered around. In the freezing cold, he also had frostbite scars on his body!

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.
