Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

After An Ran finished speaking, she stuffed a dumpling into her mouth.

Maybe it was because they had changed places. The General's Mansion was full of soldiers. An Ran was completely different from when she was in the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion.

He is lively and active, eats heartily, and especially likes meat.

The dumplings were quite big and she could eat one in one bite. Her cheeks were stuffed full and she kept chewing like a squirrel.

Gu Feiwan gave her a slap on the face: "Even dumplings can't stop your mouth!"

"Woo woo...Ah Li said that the more babies there are in the nest, the more lively it is. An Ran likes lively things!"

"What do you mean by lively? I like lively places, too!" Ning Weizhou stepped in from outside, patted his clothes, ran to the charcoal brazier to warm himself up, and then approached Gu Feiwan and her daughter.

"Father, the house is so big, An Ran wants lots and lots of babies!" An Ran put down her chopsticks and made a big circle with her hands.

"What baby? Is it sold on the street? I'll go buy it tomorrow!" Ning Weizhou doted on An Ran very much. As long as An Ran asked for it, he would never refuse.

Gu Feiwan was busy changing the subject: "Don't talk while eating. Go to bed quickly after eating. Girls who lack sleep will become ugly!"

An Ran pouted: "Mother is lazy, not as hardworking as the mother swallow!"

"Why are you talking about the female swallow again?" Ning Weizhou didn't understand.

"Father, there is a big swallow's nest under the corridor. The mother swallow will give birth to many baby swallows soon, and the nest will be lively. An Ran also wants the house to be lively, so she wants mother to give birth to a nest too!"

The more Ning Weizhou listened, the wider his mouth grinned!

Until a slap hit him on the forehead: "What are you laughing at? She is a child and doesn't understand, why are you laughing like a fool!"

Gu Feiwan turned her head, revealing her neck, and the fair skin was showing patches of pink.

Ning Weizhou swallowed his saliva involuntarily and turned his head to urge: "An Ran, eat quickly. Your mother is right. Girls who sleep late will become ugly. Very ugly!"

"Dad will work hard to give birth to the baby you want!"

Gu Feiwan was furious: "Ning Weizhou, you go sleep in the study tonight!"

"Mother, please don't chase father away. Ali said that after the female swallow gives birth to the babies, the male swallow has to help hatch them, otherwise the female swallow will have too much trouble!"

Ning Weizhou just smiled when he heard An Ran say, "Wait until the father hatches the babies, then you can send him away. An Ran, come and sleep with the mother and the babies!"

"Which side are you from, little girl?" Ning Weizhou bit his back teeth and pinched An Ran's face, which had obviously become fatter.

The three of them laughed and joked for a while, and then An Ran was taken back to her room by Qing Shuang. Only Gu Fei Wan and Ning Wei Zhou were left in the room.

"My dear, I want a baby too!" Ning Weizhou held Gu Feiwan's waist and pressed her between his legs.

How could Gu Feiwan escape from his brute force?

He could only reach out his hand and push Ning Weizhou's chest hard: "Scoundrel!"

"How can this be considered rogue? This is a matter of human relations. An Ran is right. The General's Mansion is so big, it would be too lonely if only a few of us lived there. It would be better if there was a baby in every room, then it would be lively!"

"You...even sows don't give birth like this!" Gu Feiwan was ashamed and angry, and hit Ning Weizhou hard several times:

"You said you would listen to me before, but now you have your own ideas. I wonder if you were lying to me before!"

Ning Weizhou enjoyed Gu Feiwan's punches very much, but Gu Feiwan twisted and turned, which made him angry, so he had to grab her two pink fists:

"Of course I'll listen to you, but if a man doesn't make progress and work hard, how can he be considered a man? Would you like to be laughed at for being your husband?"

"You are a scoundrel..."

No further words could be heard as Ning Weizhou waved his hand and the curtain fell, covering the flickering candlelight.

The lights in the Weiwu Marquis's Mansion were brightly lit for days. Xie Xilan was lying on the couch, holding a brush in her hand, writing and drawing on the account book. After a while, she suddenly smiled:

"In the past few days, I have spent more than a hundred taels of silver just to invite the daughters of these minor officials to the wedding banquet, and several dozen taels of silver for lamp oil. There are still five or six days before the divorce date, and the money in the public treasury is almost gone."

"Madam, aren't they being so extravagant just to get you to give them some money so that the Marquis's Mansion can gain a good reputation?"

"I know that Xiao Shuxue still has some conscience and gave me five hundred taels. If it was all spent on the wedding day, it would be enough. But the old woman and Shen Yujun want to save face and are reluctant to spend money. They want to take advantage of me. Humph, what a wishful thinking!"

"Today, when I went out, I heard those women selling needles and thread on the street gossiping. What they said was really nasty!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

"...They said that the Marquis of Weiwu Mansion is just a bunch of vulgar country folk, that the men are all losers who only care about their wives' dowries, and that the women are not faithful to their husbands and think about other men after they get married. They also said..." Qiu Sang pursed her lips:

"It is said that Miss Yujun and the Sixth Young Master of the Earl of Laiyang's Mansion were in the green mountains outside the city, arm in arm, with the sky as their mat and the ground as their bed. They have long been a pair of wild mandarin ducks!"

"These words are really unpleasant to hear. I don't know when they spread like this in the streets and alleys. How can our Miss Ran live in the future? Madam, you still have to think of a solution."

At first, Xie Xilan's mouth curled up, gloating, but when Qiu Sang mentioned Shen Yunran, her face darkened.

But after a moment, she sighed softly: "It's all her fate. What else can I do now? Apart from hoping that Tian'er will do well, nothing else can help me!"

Xie Xilan threw away her pen, turned her head and looked out the window, lost in thought.

The snow outside the window is melting, and the weather is getting warmer day by day.

Qiu Sang took a look and saw that there were only a few little girls cleaning the yard. There was nothing interesting to see.

"Madam, are you really not going to care about Miss Ran anymore?" Qiu Sang asked. Seeing that Xie Xilan remained silent, he could not help but continue:

"Those gossipy women also talked about Miss An Ran from the previous mansion..."

"What did you say?" Xie Xilan finally looked away and asked.

"Everyone says that An Ran from the General's Mansion is a good girl. She is free and easy-going and easy to get along with. She doesn't have the squeamishness and arrogance of a girl from a noble family. Anyway, she is full of praise."

Xie Xilan had not spent a few days with An Ran. She only heard from people in the mansion that she was a timid and cowardly child who hid from place to place all day long and was not presentable!

"It is said that the general and Gu Feiwan taught their daughter well, which is why An Ran has become so outstanding. When discussing marriage in the future, there will definitely be many talented people clamoring for her!"

Xie Xilan snorted coldly: "For a girl, even if she marries into a wealthy family, what does it matter? How much can she help her parents? Gu Feiwan is just putting on a show. How can an adopted child have any true feelings?"

"I have a headache and want to sleep for a while. You can go out." Xie Xilan lay down, facing sideways.

Qiu Sang opened his mouth, but thinking of Xie Xilan's temper, he had no choice but to retreat.

"Mammy, I have done everything you told me to do, but Madam won't listen!" Qiu Sang said with a bitter face at the bottom of the stairs.

Standing opposite her was the nanny who followed Shen Yunran.
