Ch 68: Scapegoat

“Of course!”

“How could I possibly agree to her!”

Guo Liangxian replied forcefully, but what he was thinking inside was unknown.

Only then did Concubine Lin Yan’er’s expression soften, and she smiled!

She let Guo Liangxian help her to Yanling Courtyard.

As for that useless Mama Lai, who was supposed to take care of things, she was unexpectedly imprisoned by Madam not long after taking office!

Concubine Lin Yan’er was uneasy, fearing that what she had asked Mama Lai to do would be discovered!

Meanwhile.

Mama Lai, who had been thrown into the Dark Room, cursed at the sky, the earth, and her mother!

“To hell with you! What Concubine Yan, at the critical moment, she didn’t even think to ask for this old servant!” Mama Lai said angrily.

“Stop howling, Concubine Yan won’t care about you.”

The servant outside the room said.

“You’re talking nonsense! This old servant knows many things about Concubine Yan!”

The servant was surprised, “Oh? Tell me?”

Mama Lai immediately shut up, “……You, first get Concubine Yan to come over!”

“Let her save me!”

As a servant all her life, Mama Lai may not have many merits, but she has worked hard, and she has never suffered such imprisonment!

“……”

“Then you should just wait.”

Yuan Xueyue came out of Zhongsi Hall, it was already evening.

Xing Ge’er was led back to the Residence by a servant. There were also two young masters in the Residence, but they only stayed in the courtyard next to the Pear Garden.

This courtyard was also large enough, although not as large as the Pear Garden, it was attached to the Pear Garden.

The wall was very high, the wall was very thick, and the sound could not affect the Pear Garden side.

The relatives in the Residence were also staying in their respective courtyards, occasionally strolling around the Residence!

As soon as she came out, she met an aunt.

The aunt immediately stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, about to kneel down and say,

“General’s Wife! I beg you……”

Yuan Xueyue was surprised, and helped her arm, “Please get up, what’s the matter, Aunt?”

Looking at the wrinkles on the aunt’s face, and her hemp clothing.

The aunt said, “You must not remember which aunt I am.”

Yuan Xueyue smiled,

“How could that be, you are the Second Aunt from Second Uncle’s family, I presume it’s about Ji Ge’er?”

Second Aunt’s eyes widened in surprise, and she looked around.

She said, “Yes! I know that Ji Ge’er is now your son, and he will be the Eldest Young Master of the Residence in the future. I hope Madam will take good care of him!”

Yuan Xueyue’s expression sank.

“Why do you say that? Since he is the Eldest Young Master of the Residence, how could I not take good care of him?”

The aunt said,

“I know that Xing Ge’er has the support of Eldest Male Cousin’s Wife, and he also has a tacit understanding with you, but Ji Ge’er, after we leave in a few days, he will really have nothing!”

Yuan Xueyue was amused, “So, I must favor him?”

The aunt shook her head,

“No! I only hope that Madam will care for him more. He is a bit naughty and a bit indulgent, but his nature is not bad. I hope Madam can let him study hard and achieve success in the examinations!”

Yuan Xueyue’s eyes were full of indifference.

A child that she couldn’t teach well herself, now sent to the General’s Residence, hoping that he can become successful!

This statement, presumably Ji Ge’er is even more naughty than Xing Ge’er, and disobedient to discipline!

That’s even more interesting.

Yuan Xueyue also knew the fate of Ji Ge’er in the previous life, but, there was nothing she could do!

“I understand, Aunt, please go back. It’s getting late for the Evening Meal, don’t let the children in your courtyard go hungry,” Yuan Xueyue said.

The aunt was surprised, “Madam, you agree?”

Yuan Xueyue was noncommittal, “……Go back, Xing Ge’er is coming back soon, I’ll go see.”

She turned and left, not allowing Second Aunt to linger any longer!

Cuiping also stopped the aunt from following, and went to see Xing Ge’er.

After a while, outside the pavilion next to the Pear Garden.

“Mother!” Xing Ge’er happily rushed to Yuan Xueyue’s side.

◈◈◈

Yuan Xueyue smiled, “Xing Ge’er, did you complete Teacher’s task today? Were you scolded by Teacher?”

Xing Ge’er shook his head, “No! Teacher didn’t praise this son, nor did he scold this son, nor was he so annoyed with this son. This son has already made progress!”

Yuan Xueyue smiled inwardly.

Yes, he wasn’t scolded, he advanced a few places from the bottom, not the last or second to last.

Xing Ge’er is very brave and purposeful, but things backfired!

Before, Yuan Xueyue had also taught him a few words of truth, but she didn’t know how well he remembered them.

At present, it seems that it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one’s nature. A child from a military background still can’t learn to read well!

Xing Ge’er’s biological father was a widower, a man who had lost a wife.

That man was an alcoholic, but he was righteous one night, and was admired by Guo Lianglian. The two fell in love…… Afterwards, Xing Ge’er was born.

That man was also a bit bloody, and he had also been to the arena, but his moves were too reckless, and he was knocked down by others in the first round.

“Not bad, Ge’er, keep up the good work! Strive to give your grandmother a beautiful result!”

Yuan Xueyue said with a smile.

At the mention of grandmother, Xing Ge’er was deflated.

He hated grandmother in his heart!

However, he still needed grandmother’s love, so he had to pretend!

From that time, when grandmother gave him a light Family Law punishment, Xing Ge’er was no longer attached to Old Madam Nian, and he didn’t run to Zhongsi Hall much.

“This son will, Mother, tonight this son wants to have the Evening Meal with you!”

This kind of request, Yuan Xueyue directly agreed.

She turned her head and instructed Cuiping, “Call Mama Rong.”

After instructing Mama Rong, they came to the Dark Room!

As soon as the door opened, the servant was shocked!

I saw Mama Rong step forward and slap Mama Lai hard!

She couldn’t slap Concubine Yan, after all, she was pregnant and Old Madam was responsible, and the General doted on her, so Mama Lai, the accomplice, became the Scapegoat!

Mama Lai’s eyes widened, “Why are you hitting me?”

With a slap!

The palm fell again.

“You dare to detain the head maid of the Pear Garden! Do you think Madam doesn’t exist?” Mama Rong spat at Mama Lai.

Mama Lai tilted her head to look, and Cuiping was watching outside the room.

Mama Lai said innocently,

“No, it was Concubine Yan who asked this old servant to do it!”

Mama Rong said again, “You still want to frame Concubine Yan, don’t you know that now that the concubine is pregnant, Old Madam is holding her, and the General is doting on her, is it your turn to accuse her?”

Mama Lai was speechless, suffering in silence!

“Wait! I want to see Madam! I want to tell Madam……!”

Before Mama Lai could say anything, Mama Rong ordered the servant to gag her mouth!

Beat her hard, throw her a tael of Silver, and then throw her out of the General’s Residence!

This was considered, directly driving away Mama Lai!

Lin Yan’er in Yanling Courtyard yawned, as if she felt someone cursing her.

“Is it getting cold?”

The maid said, “Yes, Concubine, it’s almost winter, this servant will add some clothes for you.”

Lin Yan’er said, “Can the Residence arrange everything?”

The maid nodded, “Yes, Madam has agreed, Old Madam has no objection, and the General has also agreed. Now, Concubine, you are the treasure of the Residence!”

These words made Lin Yan’er float.

“That’s right!”

Once she flew up the branch, a mere General, wasn’t he taken down by her!

Next…… Madam!

In Lin Yan’er’s heart, a terrible fantasy gradually emerged!
