Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 22

Ch 22: Justice

Guo Liangxian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

“Alright! What’s the point of talking about this now? The child is gone!”

Old Madam Nian was taken aback, and also said, “What do you mean, ‘what’s the point’? Are you trying to protect this low-class Miss Lin? Xing Ge’er is your legitimate son!”

Aunt Yan said, “He’s just a nephew!”

Old Madam Nian said coldly, “So what if he’s a nephew? Now he is the eldest legitimate son of the residence, the Eldest Young Master! I’d like to see who dares to touch him today!”

Old Madam Nian suddenly slammed her walking stick on the ground, making a resounding thud.

Today, Old Madam Nian was determined to protect Xing Ge’er, and Xing Ge’er kept his head down the whole time, without a word!

To have such an unreasonably biased grandmother, it was unclear whether it was a blessing or a curse for Xing Ge’er.

Yuan Xueyue remained silent, feeling somewhat bored and yawning.

Seeing this, Old Madam Nian asked, “Xueyue, what do you say? Whose fault is it today?”

Yuan Xueyue was startled. Why was she suddenly being asked?

She curtsied and said, “In your daughter-in-law’s opinion, no one is at fault.”

Aunt Yan was shocked and blurted out, “You’re twisting the facts! Why is he not at fault? That was murder! My perfectly fine child, not even born yet, was destroyed by him!”

Yuan Xueyue said, “Old Madam said that Xing Ge’er did it unintentionally.”

“Xueyue!”

Guo Liangxian shouted loudly, his bloodshot eyes glaring over, his tone icy, “How can you be so heartless! A life, and you say it was unintentional?”

Yuan Xueyue sneered, “General, you should clarify the whole story before you speak.”

Today, she also planned to give Xing Ge’er justice.

Otherwise, with Xing Ge’er wavering like this, easily manipulated, he would soon fall.

It could also be considered, returning Xing Ge’er’s call of ‘mother’ for a lifetime.

When Xing Ge’er heard his mother speaking for him, his eyes gradually lit up, and he stared at Yuan Xueyue without blinking.

“Cuiping, bring the person in,” Yuan Xueyue said.

Cuiping obeyed, and following the Wife’s whispered instructions outside earlier, she went out and dragged in a maid who served Aunt Yan!

The maid trembled and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy,

“General, Wife, spare me!”

Old Madam Nian asked doubtfully, “What’s going on?”

Yuan Xueyue pointed at the kneeling maid and said,

“This person, Mother-in-Law and General should be somewhat familiar with, she is a maid who has been serving Miss Lin these days.”

Aunt Yan lowered her head guiltily, her hand unnaturally clutching Guo Liangxian’s robe.

“Don’t be afraid, she can’t cause any trouble.”

Guo Liangxian comforted, feeling confused. What did this have to do with a maid serving Yan’er?

Yuan Xueyue said, “Just now, when the doctor was diagnosing, your daughter-in-law inquired about the cause. Miss Lin’s pregnancy was already unstable, as if she had taken an excessive amount of stimulating medication!”

At these words, everyone was shocked!

Aunt Yan shrank her head, not daring to speak.

Yuan Xueyue continued, “Then, Xing Ge’er only gave a gentle push. Moreover, Miss Lin had two maids serving her closely, why would her pregnancy be disturbed? Why would she have a miscarriage?”

“Only if, the maid in front of us lied. She didn’t hold her steady, or, she was the one who bought the medicinal herbs for Miss Lin. If we search this room, we should find traces.”

After Yuan Xueyue’s words, Old Madam Nian suddenly understood!

Guo Liangxian said in surprise, “Impossible! Yan’er would never be so scheming!”

Aunt Yan also fearfully hugged Guo Liangxian and said, “General~ I didn’t, you must seek justice for me, wuu wuu……”

“Whether she did or not, the doctor is still in the residence, waiting outside. He can be called in to ask.”

“Whether there’s anything in the room, we can also have Mama Cui and others search.”

“Your daughter-in-law has said all I can. Mother-in-Law, please decide,” Yuan Xueyue said.

◈◈◈

“……”

Everyone was shocked.

She had secretly inquired about such detailed things!

Xing Ge’er’s eyes shimmered with a bright light, and he stared at Yuan Xueyue intently!

Mother, was helping him……

Guo Liangxian was silent, speechless, “……”

Old Madam Nian laughed heartily, “Listen! Xueyue’s analysis is too correct! Mama Cui, go call the doctor in!”

“Search now!”

Within less than two quarters of an hour, the doctor explained the contents, and the remnants of the medicine were also found in the dark corner of the cabinet in the room!

The doctor took a sniff, “Yes! It’s this. If a pregnant woman comes into contact with this musk, the fetus will definitely be lost!”

Musk!

Yuan Xueyue found it somewhat familiar. She had heard the maids in the residence talk about this thing in her previous life.

At that time, she hadn’t paid much attention, but she didn’t expect Aunt Yan to go to such lengths, using any means necessary!

But why did she want to destroy this fetus?

“General! You must listen to my explanation…” Aunt Yan cried with tears streaming down her face.

“……” Guo Liangxian pushed her away, stood up, and his face darkened.

“He’s just a child, and you actually used him to do such a life-threatening thing! You’re so vicious!”

Guo Liangxian’s eyes were red, clearly he had been heartbroken for her just now, but he didn’t expect things to develop so quickly. It was all her scheme!

Could it be that the one in her belly was a bastard?

Guo Liangxian gritted his teeth, turned around in anger, and ran out!

“General!” Several servants chased after him.

Mama Cui also ordered the other maids to clean up the mess, and also took the lying maid away.

Old Madam Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she ordered in shock, “Good, lock Aunt Yan up!”

Another day, she would think of a way to get rid of her!

The others left, and Yuan Xueyue also walked out, supported by Cuiping, with a figure following behind.

Xing Ge’er crouched down, carefully following behind.

“Eldest Young Master…?” Cuiping discovered, and asked doubtfully.

Yuan Xueyue also turned around and said, “Why are you following?”

Xing Ge’er suddenly knelt down with a thud, kowtowed, and said,

“Mother, from now on, you are my, Guo Xing’er’s, only mother. Even if your son doesn’t learn literature well, I will find another way to repay you, Mother!”

Yuan Xueyue said calmly, “It was just a small help, what’s there to repay? Just don’t cause me trouble in the future.”

Xing Ge’er was startled, and raised his head in confusion, “Why would I cause trouble? How could your son…”

Cuiping was also surprised.

But Yuan Xueyue said, “You were not born of my body, and your heart was not with me from the beginning. We are just mother and son who met by chance. In a moment of thought, you were adopted by Old Madam under my name as the eldest legitimate son. The future storms, you should walk them yourself.”

“Since you are not wholeheartedly devoted to me, I am not wholeheartedly devoted to you either. Considering your young age, some things and some words, it’s better to say less and do less. Thinking thrice before acting is the advice your mother gives you.”

Xing Ge’er looked bewildered, clearly confused by these words.

“Just remember it firmly. It’s the same tomorrow. If you don’t arrive at the Pear Garden before Chen Shi, don’t look for me everywhere either.” After Yuan Xueyue finished speaking, she lifted her foot and walked away.

Tonight, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

Old Madam Nian was also tired. After a simple evening meal, she hurriedly rested. When dawn came, what needed to be cleaned up would be cleaned up, and what needed to be punished would be punished!
