Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

"How can this be considered unfair? As the mistress of the house, isn't it normal for me to accompany my husband to attend events? How can this be considered unfair?"

The more Xue Feimu watched Jiang Qingyue, the more he felt that she was being pretentious and hypocritical.

"Mu'er."

The old lady saw that something was not right and spoke out to stop it.

Xue Feimu shut his mouth awkwardly, and judging from his expression, he was not convinced at all.

The old lady looked at Jiang Qingyue:

"Mu'er has been at the border for a long time. He doesn't know the difficulties at home, nor does he know what happened at home. Don't bother with him. Even if grandma asks you to do this, you must help with this matter."

Jiang Qingyue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The old lady was thinking about how to persuade her and was thinking about what she could use to threaten Jiang Qingyue if soft tactics didn't work.

No matter what, she must go to the general's mansion today.

"Qingyue, grandma begs you..." The old lady said as she was about to kneel down.

Jiang Qingyue felt a chill and took a step back, avoiding the old lady's pressure to kneel down, and said:

"The old lady wants me to go to the general's mansion. It's not impossible, but I have a request."

The old lady stood up from her half-kneeling legs immediately:

"Just ask me. As long as I can do it, I'll agree to it."

Jiang Qingyue: "Let Aunt Chu move to the most remote Miaowenyuan in the northwest corner."

She knew that Xue Feimu liked Chu Wan'er. Even if she asked Chu Wan'er to live far away, it would not affect the relationship between them at all. It might even make their relationship better and better.

It didn't matter. The scumbag and the slut were a perfect match, and she didn't want to break them up.

She simply didn't want to see Chu Wan'er coming in and out of the mansion.

"Why can't you tolerate Wan'er? She didn't even fight with you for the position of co-wife, and just contentedly became a concubine. But you are so petty and jealous. How can I be confident in handing over the Marquis' Mansion to you?"

Before the old lady could say anything, Xue Feimu became anxious first. He looked like he was going to have a big quarrel with Jiang Qingyue, and to protect Chu Wan'er and fight for her rights.

Jiang Qingyue ignored him and looked at the old lady.

The meaning was very clear: if the old lady did not agree, she would never go to the general's mansion today.

"She's just a concubine. You don't have to be angry with her. If you really can't stand her, just move her residence to Miaowenyuan." The old lady agreed immediately.

In her opinion, it doesn’t matter where Chu Wan’er lives.

She herself doesn't like Chu Wan'er, and will not stand up for her.

The important thing now is to follow Jiang Qingyue's wishes.

“Grandma…” Xue Feimu exclaimed.

The old lady gave him a look, telling him to stop talking.

Then he said to Jiang Qingyue:

"Don't worry, grandma will definitely do what she promised you. Now, take advantage of the time and prepare the gifts first."

Having said that, she paused to think for a moment, then added:

"Change your clothes. After all, this is the general's mansion. We are here to beg for mercy, so please don't be impolite."

When talking about changing clothes, the old lady deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words.

The implication was that Jiang Qingyue should dress up nicely.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the old lady's fake and loving smile, suppressed her nausea, and said:

"I can go, but I can't guarantee that I can convince the general to help. If he doesn't help, the old lady can't blame me. I'm just a woman, and there's only so much I can do."

Old lady: “No, that’s not the case.

"As long as you do your best, the general will definitely help you."

"The old lady is too absolute. Qingyue cannot guarantee it. After all, Qingyue does not know what the general is thinking and how he is thinking, and she does not dare to speculate rashly."

The old lady frowned and said, "Forget it, forget it. Just come out and say a few good words today. I will speak for the rest."

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue left, and Xue Feimu complained to the old lady:

"Grandma, why do you listen to her so much? Why do you just let her do whatever she says?"

The old lady glanced at Xue Feimu and sighed:

"Alas, you don't know that during these years when you were not in the mansion, everything in the mansion was left to her to manage. Almost everyone in the mansion listened to her. After a long time, I got used to it."

"This is outrageous, how could she do this?

"Then I shouldn't have agreed to her. I had no choice before, but now I'm back. Things are different now. Grandmother, why are you still afraid of her? Her status as a mistress was given by the Marquis' Mansion. If it weren't for the Marquis' Mansion, how could she, a concubine's daughter, have such a good life? How could she be so glorious? Now she has taken advantage of Qiao. What a big face."

As Xue Feimu spoke, he raised his voice, as if he wanted to suppress Jiang Qingyue's arrogance and compete with her.

"Grandma is not afraid of her. The main thing is that we really need her help right now. We need help from others, so we should bow our heads."

"Who does she think she is? She wants us to bow down to her. Is she trying to usurp our throne? Grandmother, you are too easy to talk to. If I were in the mansion, I would never let her be so arrogant. If I don't let her help me, I can do it myself."

"No, you must listen to grandma on this matter. Grandma will not harm you. You must endure it today and wait until you have changed your position and settled down in the court.

"Han Xin was able to endure the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch. You should give her some face now, for the sake of the mansion and yourself. Don't take advantage of her power at the moment."

Xue Feimu was furious: "Grandma, I really don't understand why she must go..."

Before he finished speaking, the old lady interrupted him seriously:

"There is indeed something going on, but I cannot tell you now. There is no need to mention it again. Grandma can do whatever you want with everything else, but you must listen to Grandma on this matter."

Xue Feimu's expression changed. He had no choice but to obey the old lady's words:

"Yes, grandson knows. But grandson has already said that once this matter is resolved, grandson will let Wan'er move back. Miaowenyuan is located in a remote place, far away, dilapidated and old, and it is really not suitable for living."

The old lady frowned when she heard what he said, but finally agreed:

“It’s up to you what you want.

"I have no objection to your liking for Chu Wan'er, but you must remember: a woman is far less important than your future and the future of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Don't ruin your future for a woman."

When it comes to the future, Xue Feimu naturally knows the importance of it: "Yes, I will listen to my grandmother."

"There is also a welcoming banquet in three days. I want Wan'er to come along and help her prepare and learn more. She has always lived in the border area and has no close friends in the capital. She will have to live in the capital in the future, so interpersonal communication is essential. It will also be beneficial to get to know more people..."

Xue Feimu said a lot, and the old lady rolled her eyes and felt depressed:

"Let's get through the current hurdle first, and don't worry about these trivial matters. If the official position cannot be changed, there is no need for this welcoming banquet.

"Now, you haven't settled down in the court yet, so it's best if nothing goes wrong in the backyard."

Xue Feimu's face froze: "As long as she doesn't cause me trouble and does her job well, I will naturally not make things difficult for her."

"Grandmother knows you don't like her, but she is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion after all. She is the wife you married with three letters and six ceremonies and a sedan chair carried by eight people. You must give her the respect and honor she deserves, and don't go too far."

"But I..." Xue Feimu looked reluctant.

"Okay, Grandmother knows what you mean. No need to say more. Grandmother promises you: as long as your official position is changed and you can settle down in the court, you can divorce your wife or marry someone else in the future. Grandmother will follow your will."

"Grandma, are you serious?" Xue Feimu had a look of surprise on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Seriously, let's solve this matter first."

Xue Feimu listened to this definite answer and said with a smile: "Yes, my grandson will definitely talk to the general."

"Well, go change your clothes now and get ready. Don't be rude. Prepare the carriage and wait at the gate of the mansion. Once Qingyue has packed up, you can go out directly. Don't waste time."

"Yes, grandson listens to grandma."

Xue Feimu turned and walked out.

When he left, he thought: He had to endure some grievances for Wan'er.

As long as he can settle down in the court, after a year or so, when Wan'er gives birth to a child, he will find a way to divorce her.

With Jiang Qingyue's jealous nature, he had even found a reason to divorce her.

Thinking of this, he walked briskly towards the study.

In the room, the old lady sighed deeply, drank a whole cup of tea, and then let out a long sigh.

Seeing the old lady sighing and hesitant, Nanny Li tried to speak:

"Don't worry, old lady. The prince is just confused for the moment and is bewitched by Aunt Chu. He will understand after he experiences more things in the future."

The old lady sighed: "I hope he is really confused for a moment, and not confused all the time. Otherwise, this Chu family is really a disaster.

"Forget it. I don't want to think too far ahead. If that day really comes, I have plenty of ways to deal with it. Chu is just a helpless concubine. I can't let him control Mu'er."

"Now you go in person and wait outside Mu'er's study. When he comes out, ask him to go to the gate to prepare the carriage and wait for Qingyue. Otherwise, he might not know the seriousness of the matter and go to see Chu again, which would waste time and ruin the whole thing.

"Have someone watch over Chu and don't let her do anything to harm me.

"As for Wutong Court, you should also go there in person and give them some advice. Otherwise, don't go. If you do go, you have to make sure they take effect."

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

The old lady watched Nanny Li leave, then she looked down at the clothes she was wearing.

His expression was stiff and his eyes were full of disappointment.

When she received the letter from Xue Feimu saying that he would ask for an imperial decree for her, she had been fantasizing about this day and had been looking forward to it.

Yesterday she knew Xue Feimu would enter the palace today. She was so happy that she did not sleep all night. She only dozed for an hour and got up at dawn. She spent an hour dressing up and did not feel tired.

but……

She raised her hand to touch the ruby ​​on her headband, sighed deeply, went into the inner room, and called the maid to help her change clothes.

Along the way, I kept my hands on my clothes, stroking them, and was reluctant to change them.

I just hope Jiang Qingyue's visit today can have a big effect. I can wear it again next time.

In the study, Xue Feimu changed his clothes.

Before going out, I went to Chu Wan'er's yard.

As soon as he went out, he was stopped by Nanny Li.

Nanny Li smiled and said, "My Lord, the old lady has asked the butler to prepare a carriage, and the Lord's wife is almost there too. Please wait at the door, it's almost noon, it would be bad if you miss the time."

Xue Feimu looked at the sky, then looked at the courtyard separated by a wall, sighed lightly, and had to give up.

I thought I’d talk about it after I come back from the General’s Mansion.

He was forced to change the courtyard. Wan'er was so considerate, she would definitely understand him.

Nanny Li watched Xue Feimu leave the outer courtyard with her own eyes, and then asked the servant to guard the door before returning to Cisongyuan to report.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the old lady had changed her clothes, so he lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

He told her everything that had happened.

The old lady felt relieved after hearing this. Fortunately, she had made preparations and asked Nanny Li to guard the place first.

"This Chu family is really a disaster."

"After Mu'er and the others leave, go there in person and ask them to move the yard. Send more people to hurry up and get this done before they come back. Otherwise, the person from Wutong Courtyard will say that we are untrustworthy and it will be difficult to arrange things for us later."

"Yes."

"What about Wutong Garden? Have you urged them?"

"Don't worry, old lady. We have urged them. The wife of the prince said that they will not miss the time."

"Yeah. Have you said everything I asked you to say?"

Nanny Li stepped forward and said, "I have said all that I should say. Don't worry, old lady. I have kept a very humble attitude, and it seems that the wife of the prince has listened to me."

"Yeah." The old lady looked outside the door, feeling inexplicably nervous.

At the end of the noon hour, Xue Feimu was sitting in a carriage waiting at the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

There was no movement from inside the door. He lifted the carriage curtain from time to time and looked outside, impatience in his eyes, and asked the servant to urge him again and again.

When he urged for the third time, he finally heard a carriage slowly coming out of the side door. The carriages drove side by side, and Xue Feimu heard Jiang Qingyue's voice coming from the opposite carriage:

"Let's go, Prince."

Xue Feimu lifted the curtain, and without waiting for him to say anything, the carriage beside him drove forward.

Xue Feimu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and quickly asked the driver to speed up.

He waited for so long, but Jiang Qingyue didn't even apologize.

Not only did he not get off the carriage to greet him, but he also refused to ride in the same carriage with him. All that would have been fine, but he even dared to walk in front of him. He was truly so audacious and lawless.

He used to think that Jiang Qingyue was boring and of low status, but now he felt that Jiang Qingyue was really unreasonable.

The carriage moved forward quickly and soon surpassed Jiang Qingyue's carriage.

Fortunately, Jiang Qingyue did not argue with him, and the two carriages went to the general's mansion one after the other.

The carriage traveled for about two quarters of an hour and arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.

Xue Feimu got off the carriage first.

He said to the person beside him: "We're here."

The carriage curtain was lifted, and it was Lu Huan who got out.

Lu Huan casually bowed to Xue Feimu, and without waiting for Xue Feimu to speak, she walked straight forward, knocked on the door of the general's mansion, and handed over the invitation.

The guard took the note and closed the door.

The gate of the general's mansion returned to peace.

Xue Feimu waited in a dull manner and felt awkward. He wanted to talk to Jiang Qingyue, but Jiang Qingyue did not come down and did not show any intention of speaking.

"Cough...cough..."

Xue Feimu coughed until he died, but there was still no movement in the carriage.

He lost face, but couldn't give a lecture, and was so angry that he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

He had thought of a hundred ways to make Jiang Qingyue look bad when he returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Finally, when Xue Feimu's feet were almost numb, the door opened and the housekeeper came out.

"So he is the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate."

"Thank you, butler." Xue Feimu returned the greeting with a flattering smile.

The butler bowed, took two steps forward, and smiled at the people in the carriage:

"Madam, my general wants to see you."

Xue Feimu, who was standing by, listened to these words and watched this scene. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The butler seemed to be more enthusiastic towards Jiang Qingyue than towards him.

……

Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Huan lifted the carriage curtain. He looked up and saw the person behind the curtain. He was suddenly struck by lightning, his mind went blank, and he couldn't take his eyes away.

His eyes were full of amazement.
