The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Ma Liyang went to Bixia Pass and would have to wait two days to come back.

But the gentle lady came to the general's mansion and was ready to enter.

Mrs. Ma has already heard her youngest son Ma Chuyang's account of the whole incident and is now furious.

First, she was angry that her husband had made a mistake in his words and had agreed not to allow concubines and illegitimate children to enter the capital; second, she was angry that her husband disagreed with sending concubines and illegitimate children back to their hometown, and she and those blood-sucking worms were adding fuel to the fire.

A while ago, after Mrs. Ma returned to Beijing, she had a big quarrel with Ma Liyang and blurted out the words "divorce" and left the house.

At that time, Ma Liyang was probably a little bit arrogant, saying that he was valued by Emperor Mingde and would be promoted sooner or later. It would not be impossible for him to ask for a title of lady of honor for her.

If she divorces, she will be the one who loses. Her title of "Mrs. Ma" is of great value and is not a title that can be thrown away casually.

This touched Mrs. Ma's heart. Isn't this the only thing she hopes for?

Hasn't she endured half her life, just waiting for her husband and son to earn her a few more respectable titles?

Otherwise he would have run away long ago. Why are we still arguing here?

Ma Liyang joked again, "Are you willing to give up all this glory to others for nothing? As soon as you divorce me, I can make my concubine my legal wife right after you do. Do you believe it?"

Madam Ma believed it, so she was caught and was very unhappy.

Isn't this just knocking on the door?

Madam Ma ordered the housekeeper, "Go and call the eldest young master back, and tell him that something big has happened at home and we need his support."

The housekeeper received the order and went to Dongyuwei to find Ma Chuyi to report, "Master, please come home quickly. Madam needs your support. The master's concubines have come to the door."

Ma Chuyi no longer had the mind to deal with official business. He threw away the map in his hand, selected a few Dongyu guards, and led them back home.

Of course you need to bring more people to support you. Whether they fight or not is another matter. This is all about appearance.

When Ma Chuyi arrived, wow, the gate of the general's mansion was already surrounded by people.

His strong mother doesn't need him to show off, she has her own show.

But Mrs. Ma was seen sitting in an exquisite nanmu chair on the steps of the general's mansion, looking dignified and noble, with a bright gaze, and she had the heroic demeanor of a general's wife.

Behind her stood a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, but they all had fierce eyes and fierce faces.

These people were all wounded soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield. Madam Ma picked some homeless people and raised them as palace guards.

Even if they were injured or disabled, they still exuded the murderous intent and fierceness of the battlefield.

The wounded soldiers were also the mentors of Ma Chuyang and Tang Xinghe. They taught them archery, martial arts, and wrestling, and sometimes served as sparring partners.

Otherwise, if Tang and Ma had no foundation, it would be impossible for them to grow quickly under Cen Yuan's guidance.

In other words, Tang Xinghe's top spot and Ma Chuyang's third place were all thanks to these wounded soldiers.

The guards in the Wounded Soldiers' Mansion also knew that Mrs. Ma had a difficult life, and having lived in the General's Mansion for many years, they had some understanding of the Ma family.

Everyone knew that the money to support them was actually paid by Madam Ma herself. General Ma's salary was not enough.

At this time, standing next to Mrs. Ma was the handsome young man Ma Chuyang.

The gentle woman then realized that the person who stepped on and broke her son's leg was actually her husband's legitimate son.

She was suddenly filled with sorrow, her eyes were red, and she stepped forward with a forbearing look and bowed, "My concubine greets the mistress."

Madam Ma stretched out her hand to block those inappropriate words, "You can't call me mistress. You and I don't even know each other. It's really disrespectful for you to make a scene in the general's mansion today."

The beautiful woman raised her tearful eyes and choked up her voice, speaking eloquently, "I am Wu, the general's concubine. There is no reason for the mistress not to let us mother and daughter in!" She pulled her skinny daughter over, "This is General Ma's beloved daughter!"

The powerful people in the capital have always wanted to save face, and she didn't believe that Madam Ma could bear the reputation of being jealous and intolerant.

Originally, General Ma's letter to her asked her to bring her children directly to Bixia Pass to find him.

But Wu was unwilling to accept this. She couldn't even stop by the general's mansion to rest when passing through the capital. What was going on?

Moreover, if she had not been to the general's mansion for a day, she would be like a concubine. She had to stay there for a night before she could get over the grievance.

But she didn't expect that Madam Ma would be so ungentlemanly and openly stop her outside the mansion without regard for her dignity.

Madam Ma sneered, "Is this the general's concubine?"

The general is not serious, but he still has a concubine!

Madam Ma looked at the gentle woman with dignified eyes, "I have never drunk the tea you offered me. How can you be considered a proper concubine? When I married General Ma, he said that he would never take a concubine in his lifetime!"

Either you are lying, or the general made a mistake! Mrs. Ma realized that her husband might not be able to earn the title of a royal consort in the future.

If she wants the title, she has to rely on her two biological sons!

Since this layer of interest relationship is gone, why should she give Ma Liyang face? She eloped for him that year, and she didn't even have a dowry, which was already wronged enough.

I didn't expect Ma Liyang to use titles and concubines to control her. Damn it! Let's just break up!

Mrs. Wu had never met Mrs. Ma, but she only heard from General Ma that the lady was kind and easy to talk to.

She thought the lady was a pushover, but...if she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have made herself miserable.

Wu could only bite the bullet and kneel on the ground, crying, "Madam, it doesn't matter if you can't tolerate me, but you can't let the general lose face! This is all my fault, don't blame the general..."

Madam Ma nodded, "Just admit it! It was you who offered yourself to the general and gave birth to children to blackmail him!"

Wu: "..."

Although! I can't say it so bluntly, it's all my fault!

The onlookers were talking about it, and they all knew that this concubine was not a proper concubine who could enter the house, and that only the mistress could tolerate her.

The Northern Wing has clear regulations on taking concubines, and at least two conditions must be met.

First, a man must obtain the consent of his parents and wife before he can take a concubine. Second, if the wife has no children, the concubine will take the wife's place to have children.

In fact, Madam Ma did not deliberately make things difficult. It was indeed against the rules to kill someone without her consent and report to her later, and it could not be considered as a proper concubine.

Just for this reason, she dared not let him in. Otherwise, if anyone just lay down at the door and said he wanted to be my concubine, what would happen? Where were the rules of etiquette?

Besides, Mrs. Ma is not childless. She gave birth to two big boys!

Wu was depressed by this rebuke. She wanted to act as if she was thinking about the general, but she was described like this and didn't know how to argue for a moment.

Suddenly, she saw Ma Chuyi and pointed, "Young Master! Young Master! You should recognize me!"

Ma Chuyi showed up with the Dongyu Guards, still in his official uniform. He had sent Zhou You and others to take duty today, and he had just returned from a business trip to the neighboring county.

Without even looking at Mrs. Wu, he stepped forward and bowed to Madam Ma who was sitting on the chair, "Greetings, mother."

Madam Ma waved her hands, "It's impossible! All the cats and dogs have come to our door, how can we calm them down?"
