Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 36

Ch 36: Teasing

Looking at Xiaozhao’s departing figure, Guo Liangxian was slow to understand.

He turned and entered the residence.

After the evening meal, Guo Liangxian sent a maid to Pear Garden to call for Yuan Xueyue. Together, they came to Zhongsi Hall and sat down.

“Mother, these are the records of the manors that Brother Xiaozhao and I have managed, the personnel roster, harvest plans, and so on.”

Guo Liangxian spread out a stack of scrolls in front of them, for Old Madam Nian and Yuan Xueyue to see.

Old Madam Nian glanced at them and immediately felt dizzy!

“Oh my, it’s too much, too complicated. Let Xueyue look at it. I trust Xueyue’s work.” Old Madam Nian waved her hand.

Yuan Xueyue’s face was calm, but she still picked them up and looked.

It was indeed well done!

Compared to the previous life, it was much smoother now. What was the reason?

Moreover, with Prince Xian’s involvement, the manors were completed in just a few days, just waiting to start work!

Yuan Xueyue said, “All the accounts are correct, and things are going smoothly. It seems that the General has once again gained Prince Xian’s favor.”

Guo Liangxian raised his nose, arrogantly saying, “Of course, your husband has plenty of ability and connections!”

“You should be grateful, we didn’t let you divorce. Now our Guo family is quite prominent, and many people are vying to cooperate with me!”

Yuan Xueyue just smiled, noncommittal.

Seeing this, Old Madam Nian instructed, “From now on, you can focus on managing the residence. Occasionally help Liangxian with the manor accounts. It’s also hard work for you.”

“Other miscellaneous matters in the residence can also be handed over to Mama Cui and Ju Niuer to help manage and make decisions, so you can have an easier time.”

Both mother and son were looking at Yuan Xueyue, their gazes indeed more elevated.

Yuan Xueyue had nothing to say, and lowered her head to continue examining the account books.

Old Madam Nian added, “Starting next month and next season, you don’t have to worry about whether there is enough silver in the residence, and you don’t have to hide your dowry. Our Guo family doesn’t care about it!”

Yuan Xueyue, “……”

Yes, yes, yes, you cared about it before. Now with Prince Xian’s help, you can’t wait for everyone to look up to your Guo family!

At this time, Guo Liangxian looked at Old Madam Nian and said,

“Mother, I have a matter… You see, Yan’er’s health is almost recovered, shouldn’t we…?”

Old Madam Nian reacted, suddenly realizing, “Yes, the manors are done, next is to fulfill your little wish. You’ve been nagging me every day, and I’m tired of it too.”

Guo Liangxian was overjoyed, “Good!”

With that, Guo Liangxian got up and left Zhongsi Hall, heading to the side courtyard to tell Lin Yan’er the good news!

Old Madam Nian helplessly shook her head and said to Yuan Xueyue, “My son only has this one small request, Xueyue, don’t take it to heart.”

Yuan Xueyue sneered inwardly.

“I won’t, the General has someone he loves, I’m very pleased,” she said calmly.

Old Madam Nian looked regret, “Alas, it’s hard on you, Xueyue. You should also try harder. That Miss Lin is very skilled, Liangxian likes her very much.”

“You should also get along with Liangxian soon and conceive our family’s offspring.”

Said and said, but Yuan Xueyue didn’t care at all.

Yuan Xueyue said, “Yes, I will pay attention.”

Old Madam Nian said, “It’s best. You should both have children together, it’s good for the residence to prosper. Otherwise, such a large residence is cold and cheerless. No matter how many servants there are, it’s useless. What’s needed is a house full of descendants!”

Saying this, Old Madam Nian lowered her head and sighed,

“Poor Liangxian’s sister, she met an unkind person, married a widower, and suffered a cruel fate. Now even her body can’t be found!”

Old Madam Nian shook her head, her eyes full of loneliness and helplessness.

Old Madam Nian really loved this daughter. She raised the siblings, and now only Guo Liangxian was left.

Yuan Xueyue knew clearly that it wouldn’t be long before the paternal aunt would return.

◈◈◈

Now the residence was even more lively.

“Don’t worry, Mother-in-Law, Paternal Aunt will be fine,” Yuan Xueyue said calmly.

“How can she be fine? She’s been missing for several years. If she were alive, why wouldn’t she come back to see her mother? Alas… my poor daughter.” Old Madam Nian sighed.

Yuan Xueyue was too lazy to watch anymore. After a few polite words, she excused herself and took the account books back to Liyuan Garden to put them away.

Cuiping was surprised to see them!

“So many, so complicated? Old Madam and the General are letting Madam handle it all alone?” Cuiping asked in disbelief.

Yuan Xueyue said, “Yes, they just washed their hands of it.”

Even Ju Niuer came over and was dazzled by the sight.

“No way, Madam, all this is under your management? Then the miscellaneous affairs of those servants in the residence…” Ju Niuer said.

“Probably, sometimes I’ll have to ask you to help manage them,” Yuan Xueyue said.

Ju Niuer pouted, “Okay, then I’ll reluctantly do it!”

Actually, Ju Niuer was quite happy about it. The miscellaneous affairs of the residence had always been handled by Madam and Mama Cui.

Ju Niuer, as the daughter of a family servant and also a family servant herself, had finally risen to become a concubine, but many servants in the residence still didn’t truly respect her!

Ju Niuer thought of taking this opportunity to show off her status as a concubine and mistress, and to show off her authority!

She also didn’t expect Guo Liangxian to finish the manors so quickly. He would probably also frequently visit the manors to supervise. Taking this opportunity, in the evening,

she dressed in a gorgeous outfit, a flowing gauze robe, which made her look like a fairy when she walked!

But her face was still much inferior.

Guo Liangxian finished his work and returned to the residence. On the way to the back courtyard, in front of Yaoyu Pavilion, a graceful figure caught his attention!

He couldn’t help but look twice. When the figure came closer, he saw her face clearly.

“It’s you?” Guo Liangxian was slightly surprised, but he didn’t have much disgust anymore.

A few days had passed, the manors were done, his anger had subsided, and Guo Liangxian no longer disliked Ju Niuer.

Fortunately, she was already his concubine in status.

Ju Niuer blinked her eyes and smiled, “General~ Do I look good in this outfit?”

Guo Liangxian was silent for a moment. It wasn’t really beautiful to say it was beautiful, but it wasn’t ugly either.

He said, “Passable, it suits you.”

He hadn’t noticed before that Ju Niuer was also a girl. With a little dressing up, she still had some charm.

After looking at her a few more times, Guo Liangxian’s heart began to stir. Especially when the woman in front of him leaned against his chest, the look of admiration in her eyes as she blinked at him was very similar to the purity of Lin Yan’er when she looked up to him!

Ju Niuer pouted, “Is it beautiful, or not beautiful?”

Guo Liangxian’s mind was fluctuating, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he reached out to tease the hair beside her ear, saying,

“If it wasn’t beautiful, shouldn’t I have left?”

He didn’t admit it was beautiful, but left the words for Ju Niuer to imagine.

Ju Niuer was indeed overjoyed, and quickly stood on tiptoe to put her arms around Guo Liangxian’s neck!

He took the opportunity to sweep his arm around her and lifted Ju Niuer off the ground.

At the same time, in the side room of the side courtyard, Lin Yan’er waited and waited for Guo Liangxian, and couldn’t help but worry!

Cai Chan came in from outside, her face full of anger!

“Humph! Too much!” Cai Chan said.

Lin Yan’er was puzzled, “What happened?”
