Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Ch 38: She Knows How?

Yuan Xueyue’s expression was calm, “General, please go by yourself. I’m afraid I can’t accompany you.”

Guo Liangxian was puzzled, “If you don’t go, then how will the account books be managed? The account books were given to you!”

“Then I’ll give them back to the General. You can manage them yourself.”

Yuan Xueyue turned around, took out two account books from behind the door, and tossed them to Guo Liangxian!

Guo Liangxian was startled and caught the account books. The contents were well-recorded and organized!

“You! You are my Wife! The House Master of this residence! If you don’t do this, who will?” Guo Liangxian questioned coldly.

“The General can find someone else more capable. After all, Mother-in-Law, and you, General, all agreed that once the Manor was established, I would be allowed to return to my Maiden Home. But you broke your promise.”

“Mother-in-Law also repeatedly declined. Then I can no longer work for the General.” Yuan Xueyue also stated coldly, her expression indifferent.

Guo Liangxian was in the wrong, “…”

Indeed, once the Manor was established, there were even more things to do.

It was just starting, and it needed careful management for a good Harvest later. It needed even more attention afterward.

Guo Liangxian gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and said, “Now, where can I find someone to manage it? Besides you!”

Yuan Xueyue chuckled, “The General can find anyone, as long as the General trusts them, as long as it’s not me.”

With those words, Guo Liangxian, holding the account books, turned and left in a huff!

This Wife was disagreeable and wouldn’t let him touch her. She was just making things difficult for him! She was always going against him! Guo Liangxian didn’t understand how this life could go on. Fortunately, he still had Yan’er by his side to comfort him, which finally eased his heart a little.

He took the account books back to the Side Courtyard and also visited Lin Yan’er.

“General~ I’ve missed you so much! Why haven’t you been coming here much these past two days? Is there someone else?” Lin Yan’er’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said aggrievedly.

Guo Liangxian’s face was displeased. He sat down directly, still holding the account books.

Seeing this, Lin Yan’er didn’t dare to say anything more. She silently came forward to take a look and found that the account books in his hands were very strange, with complex records of everything related to the Manor.

She quietly took them and opened them to read.

Guo Liangxian had just come from Yuan Xueyue’s place and was feeling uncomfortable, so he said irritably, “What are you looking at? Can you even understand it?”

Unexpectedly, Lin Yan’er flipped through them calmly, becoming more and more engrossed.

Guo Liangxian frowned slightly and leaned closer to look with her, “You, can you understand this?”

Lin Yan’er turned her head, met his gaze, and suddenly gave him a kiss,

“It seems a bit familiar. These things look complicated, but if you follow the steps to calculate, they can be managed.”

Hearing her words, Guo Liangxian was overjoyed! “You, really understand this?” Guo Liangxian’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Lin Yan’er smiled playfully, “Oh, come on, why wouldn’t I be able to understand it? Although I came from among refugees, I did read some books before. I’m not as well-read and refined as Madam, but I do know a little!”

This completely stunned Guo Liangxian.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yan’er was a hidden noblewoman!

Anyone who could understand and know a little about these things must have learned some upper-class things in their family!

Lin Yan’er could understand, perhaps…! Guo Liangxian snatched the account books and immediately pulled Lin Yan’er into his arms for a kiss! “Tell me, you weren’t just a simple Commoner before, were you?” Guo Liangxian asked after he was done kissing.

Lin Yan’er said shyly, “Yes, I was among the Commoners. My parents had a home and a family, but unfortunately, the Frontier was invaded, and they had no choice but to leave me. But that doesn’t matter! I can help the General manage things!”

Lin Yan’er raised her head and said confidently.

Now, Guo Liangxian’s worries were completely relieved! But Old Madam had ordered that Lin Yan’er could not leave the Side Courtyard without permission.

Guo Liangxian had no choice but to take the account books to the Manor himself to record things and discuss the start of work with some servants.

โ—ˆโ—ˆโ—ˆ

In the evening, he brought the things back and went to Zhongsi Hall to ask his mother to let Mama Cui fetch Lin Yan’er.

Seeing her son keeping secrets, Old Madam Nian was puzzled.

Helplessly, Old Madam Nian agreed. Mama Cui quickly went to the Side Courtyard and told Lin Yan’er to come to Zhongsi Hall immediately.

“Mother! Yan’er can be my Concubine now! Let’s arrange it immediately!” Guo Liangxian said joyfully.

“Look how happy you are. I’ve agreed, but isn’t the Manor busy lately? We’ll choose an auspicious day to do it for you. Don’t we still need to handle some simple matters?” Old Madam Nian said.

After all, she was her son’s beloved woman, so she naturally wanted to make it grand.

Guo Liangxian pulled Lin Yan’er forward and said,

“To be honest with you, Mother, I didn’t explain Yan’er’s background clearly before. She came from among refugees. Although her family is broken and her parents are gone.”

“But before, her parents were also Wealthy, with a home and a family.”

At these words, Old Madam Nian’s eyes were filled with doubt, “And then? What was before is before. Isn’t she just a wild girl now? Otherwise, how could she do such rude things?”

Guo Liangxian explained, “Her family suddenly declined when she was young. Fortunately, they were able to survive for a while. She encountered the war and barely survived in the war zone, and then she was lucky enough to meet me.”

Old Madam Nian became even more puzzled, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Guo Liangxian said, “I want to say that Yan’er can organize the account books!”

Old Madam Nian was shocked. Her eyes immediately glanced at Lin Yan’er. Those seemingly clean eyes, although calm, were full of ambition! Lin Yan’er smiled slightly, “Old Madam, can you let me try?”

Old Madam Nian was silent, “…”

Guo Liangxian recorded the day’s events from the Manor in the account books, and then Lin Yan’er organized them on the spot, categorizing them.

Even Mama Cui, who knew a little, couldn’t help but widen her eyes!

Oh no!

This Miss Lin actually knows how to do this? Does that mean it will be even harder for my daughter to deal with her?

Mama Cui was extremely anxious, but she could only watch Lin Yan’er finish organizing the account books.

The account books were pushed over. Old Madam Nian glanced at them several times. After reviewing them, they were slightly different from Yuan Xueyue’s calculations, but they were still well-organized! Old Madam Nian’s eyes were shining. She suddenly felt that she had underestimated this Lin Yan’er.

Guo Liangxian immediately said proudly, “See, Yan’er is capable. I wouldn’t misjudge her!”

Old Madam Nian couldn’t refute, but after looking at the account books a few more times, she finally said,

“Alright, Yan’er can also manage some things, but she still needs to assist the House Master.”

Guo Liangxian said, “Don’t mention her. She Acting Out of Spite with me this morning and said she wouldn’t manage the account books, telling me to find someone else more capable! She said you wouldn’t let her return to her Maiden Home, and that we promised to let her go back after the Manor was established.”

Old Madam Nian was speechless, “…”

Indeed, she had selfish motives and didn’t want Yuan Xueyue to go to her distant Maiden Home.

After all, Yuan Xueyue had just caused a scene about Divorce, and she mentioned it from time to time. Old Madam Nian was still very wary, and she had urged her several times to Consummation of Marriage with Liangxian, but she refused.

This made Old Madam Nian even more suspicious.

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 โ€“ 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.
