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

The discussions in the crowd became louder and louder, and the old lady's expression became more and more ugly.

How could these ordinary people know all this? Although the information was not clearly stated, every detail was clear. She almost suspected that Jiang Qingyue had deliberately arranged this.

His intention was to take credit in front of her and Xue Feimu, and he had ulterior motives.

She didn't know that people outside thought this way. If they treated Jiang Qingyue badly in the slightest, they would be ungrateful.

It seems that what he planned to do to Jiang Qingyue had to be more secretive. It would be best to ruin her reputation first to avoid affecting their reputation.

She suppressed her displeasure, stepped forward politely, and took Jiang Qingyue's hand, with a loving look on her face:

"Grandma knows that you have worked hard these years. If Mu'er treats you badly in the future, grandma will definitely teach him a lesson and will never let you suffer any injustice."

Jiang Qingyue smiled shyly: "Husband... He will treat me well, he said so."

Every word she said pointed out that Xue Feimu was good to her and would be good to her, and she longed for him to be good to her. But when Xue Feimu showed up with another woman and offered to give her a legitimate status, the shock would be even greater.

The old lady naturally had no idea what would happen in a moment, and responded to her words with a kind smile.

When everyone saw how loving their grandfather was and how filial their son was, the discussions died down.

Soon, a loud shout came from the crowd:

"The prince has left the palace and returned home, returned home..."

Following the shout, there was a noise coming from the front.

The old lady's expression suddenly changed. She took a few steps forward excitedly and looked ahead.

As soon as she saw the dusty Xue Feimu, she burst into tears.

Xue Feimu, with the people behind him, quickly walked up to the old lady and the first wife:

"Unfilial children and grandchildren have seen their grandmother and their mother."

"Just come back."

"Yes, I'm glad you're back."

The eldest wife burst into tears when she saw her son from afar. Now that he was in front of her, she cried even harder.

The old lady also looked at him several times and covered her face with tears.

What a touching scene of grandparents and grandchildren reuniting.

Many of the people watching around were also moved to tears by these emotions.

Jiang Qingyue was standing behind, and when she saw Xue Feimu, she felt a chill down her spine.

Thinking of her past life, she tried hard to suppress her emotions.

She also pretended to do so and raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, but she did not move forward.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the woman standing behind Xue Feimu:

She was in her twenties, with a bun on her hair, beautiful facial features, and a very pretty girl from a southern family.

It was Chu Wan'er, the daughter of General Chu who had previously guarded the border.

The Chu family guarded the border. When Xue Feimu first went there, he was in the Chu family's army.

Chu Wan'er fell in love with Xue Feimu at first sight and was determined to marry him.

One night, he secretly took Xue Feimu to a tryst, but unexpectedly the enemy attacked that night.

General Chu was defeated, but Xue Feimu luckily escaped.

As the commander-in-chief, he was still alive when no one saw him leading the troops, which inevitably caused gossip, so he simply hid himself.

Originally, I wanted to never come back and live a happy life outside with Chu Wan'er.

However, he did not expect that by chance he got the opportunity to make a contribution and got in touch with General Dongling, the chief military commander, and then he rushed back to Beijing.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Chu Wan'er stepped forward to help Xue Feimu. Jiang Qingyue retracted her gaze and took a step forward.

Before Chu Wan'er could speak, he spoke:

"Qingyue has met her husband."

Hearing the voice, Xue Feimu and Chu Wan'er both looked towards her.

The eldest wife was still immersed in grief. When the old lady saw Jiang Qingyue standing up, she could not embarrass her like she did just now because so many people were around. She wiped away her tears and said to Xue Feimu:

"Mu'er, you and Qingyue haven't seen each other for three years. In the past few years, the mansion has been very grateful to Qingyue."

Xue Feimu's expression changed. Seeing Jiang Qingyue bowing politely, he half lowered his head and finally said:

"Thanks a lot."

"Don't worry, this is what Qingyue should do. As long as my husband returns safely, it will be the best."

Chu Wan'er, who was standing behind Xue Feimu, couldn't stand still when she saw Jiang Qingyue coming out. She took a good look at her and was about to come out to speak.

She couldn't enter the marquis's mansion without knowing the reason.

But she didn't have the chance to speak yet.

There came another loud shout from the front:

"Congratulations to Prince Xue for returning to the capital. General Dongling has sent a gift."

He is the steward of the general's mansion.

As he finished speaking, the crowd behind him dispersed and a group of maids came over.

They lined up in a row in front of the marquis's mansion.

There were whispers from the crowd:

"General Dongling actually sent a gift."

"You probably don't know this. Before returning to the capital, Prince Xue submitted a memorial saying that this time it was all thanks to General Dongling. I guess the prince and General Dongling have a good relationship."

"So that's how it is. The gift should be given to Master Xue. Why are there only hairpins and rings for women?"

"I don't know. Maybe General Dong Ling is not good at giving gifts. Military generals don't understand the ways of the world."

"I always feel like something is weird."

Xue Feimu looked at the hairpins, rings, and pearl flowers brought by the maids and frowned slightly.

He had already put himself in such a humble position, but Dong Lingyan was so perfunctory even in his superficial efforts.

It’s really...hateful.

If he didn't have to rely on Dong Lingyan now, he would never have endured such humiliation.

The old lady was a little confused when she saw the gift, but when the maid presented it to her, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Qingyue.

Seeing that her expression was normal, he felt relieved. If he was impolite at this time, he would definitely be criticized.

Only then did he accept the gift and say some polite words, to which the butler responded one by one.

Here, Jiang Qingyue looked at the row of hairpins presented in front of her.

One of the jade hairpins was the one she wore last night.

The black hair is tied up with a white hairpin, and the black hair hangs down like a crabapple tree.

Last night, he held her waist and pulled out the hairpin...

Jiang Qingyue closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about it.

She felt that she had offended someone who was difficult to deal with.

It's just that it's too late to regret.

She folded her hands, pressed them slightly, and put them in front of her. Without changing her expression, she nodded slightly to the housekeeper who was looking at her and said:

"Thank you, General."

The housekeeper smiled and looked at her respectfully:

"You are too polite, Madam. I am here to present my courtesy. I will take my leave now."

After that, he left directly.

The old lady saw that the steward of the general's mansion was enthusiastic towards Jiang Qingyue, and her face looked a little unhappy, and she glanced at Jiang Qingyue.

If there weren't so many people around, she would definitely embarrass her.

"Mu'er, as soon as you returned to the capital, the general sent you a gift, which shows how much he values ​​you. When you have time, you should go to his house to express your gratitude."

"Yes, Mu'er knows." Xue Feimu bowed and responded.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't stand at the door anymore. Come in first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it slowly when we get home.

"It'll be good if you're back."

The eldest wife also said something, but after she had only said one sentence, she couldn't help crying again.

The old lady frowned. It was really not decent to cry endlessly in such an occasion.

From an angle where no one could see, he glared at the first wife fiercely. The first wife's heart tightened and she was startled. She then quickly collected her thoughts and tried not to lose her composure.

"Yes, yes, let's go back home first."

"Yes, grandmother, mother."

Just as Xue Feimu was about to step inside, someone pulled him back.

He paused for a moment before reacting. He looked at Chu Wan'er with some guilt, then reached out and held her finger:

"Grandmother, mother, etc."

The old lady and the eldest wife turned around.

"Grandma, mother, I was so excited to go home that I forgot something very important."

As he spoke, he pulled Chu Wan'er to his side:

"Grandma, mother, this is Wan'er, General Chu's daughter. Mu'er was at the border, thanks to her care. We have already been married at the border."
