Ch 80: He Doesn’t Believe It
How could Old Madam dare to punish Wife!
Who would manage this residence?
Mama Cui’s face showed helplessness, “Please leave.”
Ju Niuer blinked her eyes,
“Wife, us?”
“Alright, then please, Mama Cui, take good care of Mother-in-Law.” Yuan Xueyue said, standing up and walking away.
Leaving Zhongsi Hall, Ju Niuer had a look of disbelief!
“Wife, how did you do that? How could you anger Old Madam like that?” Ju Niuer was puzzled.
Yuan Xueyue just smiled and didn’t respond.
If she hadn’t been so open and fearless, Madam Nian would have truly believed that Yuan Xueyue wouldn’t give in!
This was exactly the attitude needed, not caring about anything!
Whoever wants to manage can manage!
Since Guo Liangxian wasn’t promoted, since the conflict at the manor, since the concubines started making trouble, Madam Nian had gradually realized Yuan Xueyue’s importance.
Without doing this, she really wouldn’t have known who needed whom!
Yuan Xueyue didn’t want to go through so much trouble either. Being too strict everywhere only made people dislike her more!
In this residence, after all, there was no one easy to manage.
“Wife?” Ju Niuer waved her hand, feeling like Wife was always lost in thought.
Yuan Xueyue turned and held her arm, saying,
“It’s nothing. You go back to Yaoyu Pavilion and rest. You’re pregnant, you should take care of yourself.”
Ju Niuer smiled, “It’s no problem. When you’re pregnant, you need to move around more. Niuer isn’t as delicate as that cheap Lin woman!”
Yuan Xueyue also smiled, “You! Let me ask you something.”
“Please speak, Wife.”
“Do you want to be the Wife?”
“!!!”
Ju Niuer was stunned, doubting her own ears.
She quickly broke free from Yuan Xueyue’s hand and knelt down, saying,
“Wife! Please don’t take your anger out on Niuer. Niuer has no disloyal intentions! Niuer is loyal to you!”
Seeing Ju Niuer like this, Yuan Xueyue was surprised, “Why are you panicking? Get up!”
Yuan Xueyue quickly helped her up.
Ju Niuer said,
“Wife, please don’t tease Niuer with those words. How could Niuer dare to think that! If Old Madam heard, if other servants heard, they would say Niuer has overstepped her bounds!”
Ju Niuer had never thought of becoming the General’s Wife. She couldn’t bear such a blessing!
She was already very satisfied and grateful to Wife for becoming a Concubine.
How could she dare to think of taking Wife’s position?
Yuan Xueyue said, “Just saying. If you wanted to, it’s not impossible.”
Ju Niuer immediately said, “No! Niuer would never betray Wife, let alone go against Wife. Wife is Niuer’s benefactor!”
“Without Wife’s guidance, Niuer might still be a servant!”
Yuan Xueyue smiled.
Niuer was simple, and also single-minded.
She had only made her a Concubine ahead of time, and she was already so grateful. She was a trustworthy person.
Unlike Lin Yan’er, who was ambitious, daring to do anything, daring to think anything!
Yuan Xueyue said, “Alright, let’s not mention it for now.”
Ju Niuer immediately breathed a sigh of relief, “Wife, you scared Niuer to death. How could I dare to think that?”
Yuan Xueyue was a little disappointed.
Now, it would be difficult to find a successor. She would have to wait until after the New Year to return to the old home in Lucheng and see if she could persuade her father!
Divorce was not easy, finding a new master was only secondary.
The matters of the residence were temporarily put aside.
She had thought Guo Liangxian would return in two days, but with Lord Xiaozhao’s visit, he hurried back to the residence that evening!
Guo Liangxian hurriedly grabbed Manager Li and asked,
“Did Lord Xiaozhao really come to the residence? How was it? Who entertained him?”
Manager Li said, “Naturally, it was Wife!”
◈◈◈
Guo Liangxian rushed to Liyuan Garden without stopping, and saw the three young masters, who all called out to him, “Father!”
“En, where is your mother?” Guo Liangxian looked around.
At this time, Xing Ge’er and the others had finished kneeling and were preparing to rest and wait for the meal.
The two older brothers were suffering, and didn’t answer immediately.
Song Ge’er bowed, saying,
“Father, Mother is busy with something inside.”
Cuiping also saw Guo Liangxian coming at the door and bowed, “General.”
Guo Liangxian ignored her and pushed the door open.
“General, you’re finally back.”
Yuan Xueyue’s tone was neither cold nor warm.
Guo Liangxian narrowed his eyes, sat down unceremoniously, and poured himself a cup of tea, “Brother Xiaozhao came today, why didn’t you inform me sooner?”
“You don’t know how difficult it is for me to rely on the Prince’s Residence. Anyone from the Prince’s Residence, you must let me know, understand?”
Yuan Xueyue said, “Lord Xiaozhao said he was just passing by and didn’t want to disturb General, so he didn’t allow me to send someone to find you.”
Guo Liangxian was stunned, “He wasn’t looking for me? Just passing by?”
Since when was Brother Xiaozhao so free?
Passing by, and he could come to the residence to sit for a while?
Guo Liangxian was shocked inside, he didn’t expect his relationship with the Prince’s Residence to be so close!
Lord Xiaozhao from the Prince’s Residence, actually treated him like a brother!
Yuan Xueyue nodded, “Yes, does General have anything else?”
Guo Liangxian shook his head, “No, nothing.”
He muttered to himself, feeling a little smug.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xueyue’s next words shocked him.
Yuan Xueyue said,
“While General was away from the residence for two days, that Aunt Yan almost harmed General’s flesh and blood. General should go and take a look.”
At these words, Guo Liangxian’s eyes widened.
“What nonsense are you talking about! How could she do that?”
Yuan Xueyue chuckled, “Who knows?”
Guo Liangxian, “…”
No one would harm their own flesh and blood, only others would harm them!
Guo Liangxian rushed out of Liyuan Garden, and on the way, he realized something was wrong. Last time, Lin Yan’er, in order to have a miscarriage, deliberately framed Xing Ge’er.
It seemed, it wasn’t impossible!
It was too outrageous, he didn’t believe it!
In Yanling Courtyard, Lin Yan’er was emotionally unstable, throwing things around and shouting, “Can you all stop watching me! Get out!”
The maids said, “Old Madam ordered us to keep a close eye on you.”
“It’s not necessary, all of you get out! Get out…!”
With a bang!
Guo Liangxian appeared in time.
The maids were stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed and retreated.
With the General back, they shouldn’t be afraid of anything.
When Lin Yan’er saw Guo Liangxian, her originally fierce expression immediately softened, and tears streamed down her face!
“General~ You’re finally back!”
Lin Yan’er cried, wanting to throw herself into Guo Liangxian’s arms.
Guo Liangxian grabbed her arm and pinned her to the table!
“Speak, what did you do to your belly?” Guo Liangxian said coldly, his attitude very indifferent.
Seeing this, Lin Yan’er said aggrievedly, “Concubine didn’t do anything, they’re slandering me!”
Guo Liangxian frowned,
“You still say you didn’t do anything? The servants in the residence have all told me. Do I have to go to Mother and ask again before you admit it?”
The servants said that Old Madam and Wife personally witnessed Aunt Yan tightening her own belly!
It was just because she met the equally pregnant Aunt Niuer while passing by Liyuan Garden and was bullied a little, that she thought of doing such a thing!
Lin Yan’er was speechless, her eyes pleading, hoping to make Guo Liangxian feel sorry for her,
and stop blaming her. Any further explanation was futile.
Guo Liangxian gritted his teeth, “You are so vicious! Could it be that the one in your belly now is also a bastard?”
