Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 4

Ch 4: Taking a Concubine

Yuan Xueyue said, “Xing Ge’er, this is your father.”

Xing Ge’er helplessly scratched his head. He was too excited to react, and after being reminded, he bowed.

“Greetings, Father. Welcome back to the Residence.”

Xing Ge’er said.

Lin Yan’er was very confused. How did an extra nephew appear, and even call him father?

“Xing Ge’er has grown so big. Come, let Father take a look.”

Guo Liangxian beckoned Xing Ge’er to come closer, and the father and son spent some rare time together.

Lin Yan’er, who was beside them, was ignored.

Xing Ge’er immediately noticed something was wrong and pointed at Lin Yan’er, asking,

“Father, who is this woman?”

“Old Madam has arrived!”

With an announcement, Mama Cui led Old Madam Nian into the Main Hall. Seeing the lively General’s Residence, a bright smile was on her face.

Soon, her smile froze on Lin Yan’er and disappeared.

Guo Liangxian also quickly knelt down and bowed, “Mother, your son has returned safely.”

Old Madam Nian didn’t have time to look at her son, her eyes were moving all over Lin Yan’er.

How could a woman they had never met before set foot in their General’s Residence?

Moreover, she was such a plainly dressed, thin-faced young woman!

Throughout this process, Yuan Xueyue, from beginning to end, did not express much, neither sad nor happy, neither panicked nor hurried, quietly watching everything.

In the past life at this time, Old Madam Nian would have first seen Yuan Xueyue’s mad crying and complaining before noticing the pitiful Lin Yan’er in the corner!

This time, Yuan Xueyue would not be the one to stand out.

She believed that her husband, Guo Liangxian, would handle everything well. After all, he deeply loved this woman!

Old Madam Nian reacted, looked at Guo Liangxian kneeling on the ground, and instantly understood everything.

“You, you, you came back, that’s fine, but why did you bring back such a disreputable person?”

Old Madam Nian didn’t say it explicitly, but her cold glance at Lin Yan’er said it all, including Xing Ge’er, who was also very puzzled.

What, was Mother’s position in danger?

Yuan Xueyue calmly moved aside and quietly asked Cuiping to arrange for a meal to be brought. Then, she looked at the scene in front of her.

Lin Yan’er was aggrievedly pinching her Handkerchief, not understanding the meaning of kneeling down at all.

The elders were present, the elders were seated, and she, an outsider, wanted to enter the family. Even the General had knelt down, but she didn’t understand?

Old Madam Nian’s forehead throbbed, and the more she looked at Lin Yan’er, the angrier she became. The joy of her son’s return vanished!

“Quickly say, what’s going on!” Old Madam Nian questioned.

Guo Liangxian said, “Mother, she is a commoner woman I met by chance. Her background is pitiful. Her parents were killed during their escape, and she can only rely on your son.”

“Her surname is Lin, and her given name is Yan’er.”

A few words explained the whole story.

Old Madam Nian immediately reached out and covered her chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable!

Just two days ago, she was still telling her daughter-in-law to consummate the marriage and prepare for pregnancy as soon as her son returned. Little did she know that before the First Wife had any news, a Concubine had already entered the door?

This made Old Madam Nian furious.

Mama Cui quickly came over to help soothe her emotions and said,

“General, aren’t you being ridiculous? You haven’t even consummated your marriage with your Wife, how can you think about other women?”

Old Madam Nian took the opportunity to look for Yuan Xueyue’s figure. Seeing her calm and composed expression, as if she was detached from the world, everything was none of her concern!

Old Madam Nian said, “Xueyue, you should say something!”

Yuan Xueyue raised her head, met the gazes of everyone, stood up, and bowed,

“Everything is up to Mother-in-Law and the General. Your daughter-in-law has no complaints.”

She was waiting for this moment!

◈◈◈

The Old Madam wanted her to jump and get anxious, but she wouldn’t!

Xing Ge’er was also surprised. He came over and held Yuan Xueyue’s hand, saying,

“I only have one mother!”

Guo Liangxian said, “Xing Ge’er, be good. It won’t shake your mother’s position. She will only be your Aunt.”

Lin Yan’er was very nervous.

At this time, she realized she had to kneel. She came to Guo Liangxian’s side and knelt down with him, saying,

“Yan’er begs Old Madam to grant our wish. The General and I are truly in love!”

“As long as Old Madam agrees, I will definitely serve the General well every day and make sure you are satisfied.”

Old Madam Nian’s face turned dark with anger. No matter how much her son and Lin Yan’er said, why didn’t Yuan Xueyue react at all?

You know, when Old Madam Nian first came in, she saw with her own eyes that they were all present.

Seeing Old Madam Nian glance at Yuan Xueyue several times, Yuan Xueyue didn’t show any reaction at all, silently lowering her eyes, which made Old Madam Nian feel helpless!

“Who are you to interrupt? The Wife hasn’t even expressed her opinion, and you, a woman of unknown origin, still want to enter the General’s Residence as a Concubine?” Old Madam Nian said angrily.

Guo Liangxian followed her words and climbed up, determined to anger his mother to death,

“Son hopes Mother will grant our wish and let Xueyue take Lin Yan’er as a Concubine for your son as soon as possible. She is already pregnant with your son’s child!”

When the words came out, there was a thunderclap on the spot!

Yuan Xueyue’s face was also stunned for a moment. At this time in the previous life, Guo Liangxian did not immediately say that Lin Yan’er was pregnant.

It was only a few days later, when Yuan Xueyue still hadn’t agreed, that Guo Liangxian coerced her in every possible way and revealed the truth.

It seemed that only when the Old Madam stepped in did Guo Liangxian realize that things were not so easy, and he immediately revealed the fact that Lin Yan’er was pregnant.

Yuan Xueyue smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart. After reliving her life and becoming an outsider, she saw everything clearly. It was so simple, not worth it!

Old Madam Nian was so shocked that she couldn’t even hold her Walking Stick, and her hands trembled slightly,

“What you said, is it true?”

Old Madam Nian found it hard to believe, but she was both panicked and pleasantly surprised.

She was panicked because she was afraid of wronging Yuan Xueyue, and she was pleasantly surprised because she finally had a biological grandson.

But Lin Yan’er’s background was too ordinary. No matter what, she couldn’t compare to the status of the First Wife, Yuan Xueyue, the illegitimate daughter of a Prefect!

Lin Yan’er was just the daughter of a Commoner!

“Absolutely true, your son doesn’t want Mother’s grandson to be left out.”

Guo Liangxian said, in this way, Mother and Xueyue should arrange the Taking of a Concubine as soon as possible.

“You, you, you…” Old Madam Nian was so angry that she was speechless.

However, Yuan Xueyue still didn’t react at all, like a person who had nothing to do with it, which made Old Madam Nian confused and anxious!

The Maids and Pages had already brought in the meal, and the large table was set. Seeing that the masters were still talking, Manager Mama Rong from the Back Courtyard said,

“Wife, it’s time for the meal.”

Seeing that the Old Madam and the General were talking intensely, Mama Rong promptly asked Yuan Xueyue first.

Yuan Xueyue said, “Mother-in-Law, I agree to the Taking a Concubine. Let the General and Miss Lin be seated first. She is pregnant and shouldn’t kneel for too long.”

She was still very considerate, so she would fulfill your wishes.

Old Madam Nian was surprised, “Xueyue, you…”

Yuan Xueyue said, “Miss Lin is already pregnant, and the General likes her very much. Taking a Concubine is just that. The General will soon be promoted to Upper General, and having three wives and four concubines is also reasonable.”

Not only Old Madam Nian, but Guo Liangxian was even more shocked.

He didn’t expect that this wife, who had always been calm, would be so magnanimous!

He must treat her well in the future and not let her lose the treatment that a First Wife should have.
