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

"Mother, something terrible has happened!" Shen Yujun grabbed the hem of her skirt and jumped into Jifu Hall.

Old Madam Shen was afraid of the heat, so she was holding some ice in her mouth and resting with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she heard loud shouting and in a panic, she swallowed the ice in one gulp, choking her and causing her eyes to roll back!

"Young lady, the old lady is old and can't stand loud noises!" Nanny Wang stood outside the house, holding the curtain with one hand, a trace of contempt flashing in her eyes.

This Shen Yujun, although she is said to be the daughter of a marquis, has vulgar manners and a reckless temperament. In the capital, only little princesses with bad reputations are willing to play with her!

Nanny Wang sighed. In just two days, the mansion had been turned upside down.

In such a huge mansion, the ground was covered with dead leaves and spiders weaving webs. The kitchen was always lacking something, and I was so upset when I cooked a meal.

But the masters have spoiled their appetites and lose their temper three times a day!

Not to mention other daily expenses, such as clothes, rouge and powder, head ornaments and jewelry, snacks...

Everything is going wrong!

Nanny Wang was the old lady's confidant and enjoyed great success for three years.

Relying on the old lady's power, he even dares to show off in front of Xie Feiwan!

Originally, with the inheritance left by Xie Feiwan, the Marquis's Mansion would not have been in such a difficult situation.

But there is no master who can support it!

Not to mention the old lady, she held the land deed tightly in her hand and refused to give it to anyone!

The Marquis was out all day, and was not seen until dark.

Shen Yujun, the only one who could manage the household affairs, looked down upon these menial tasks.

She said she was a rich girl, not an old lady like Xie Feiwan!

Nanny Wang despised Xie. Mrs. Xie died young, but Xie Feiwan was only seven or eight years old when he was able to manage the Xie Mansion in an orderly manner.

This is why the emperor took a liking to her and granted her marriage into the marquis's mansion!

Shen Yujun is already sixteen years old, but no matchmaker has come to her house yet. This shows how bad her reputation is among the people!

"Madame Wang, didn't you see that the curtain hit my head? Didn't you have enough to eat?" Shen Yujun walked into the room and scolded Madame Wang.

Nanny Wang apologized with a smile and went to make tea. When she turned around and left, she looked angry:

"How can I feel full when I haven't even got any food to eat?"

Inside the room, Shen Yujun sat down, picked up the palm-leaf fan on the table and fanned vigorously:

"There's not enough ice in this room, why don't you put more?"

Old Madam Shen got angry when she heard this: "Go ask around and find out how much a piece of ice costs. You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household!"

"There are still dozens of them in the ice cellar, just take them out and use them!" Shen Yujun rolled his eyes, not caring at all.

Old Madam Shen got up and said angrily: "In two days, your brother will be getting married. There will be guests all over the house. We won't have enough ice! You just hang out outside all day and don't even worry about your brother!"

"Why should I worry about his affairs?" Speaking of Shen Zhili, Shen Yujun fanned him with a palm-leaf fan. "That day I said not to let Xie Feiwan take away the dowry, but brother didn't listen to me? If you didn't listen to me, what do you expect me to do now?"

"He is your brother and your future support!"

"Come on, let him take care of himself first. His affairs are all over the street now!"

At this point, Shen Yujun remembered his purpose, and immediately put down his palm-leaf fan, leaned forward and said:

"I don't know what kind of shit luck Xie Feiwan had, she actually became the eldest daughter of the Gu family!"

"Gu family? Which Gu family?"

Old Madam Shen has no social connections in the capital, and even after searching her mind, she couldn't remember any famous Gu family in the capital!

"I heard that he is a big merchant, extremely rich! The Xiangyun Tower, Cuihuaxuan, and Fuyuanfang in the capital are all owned by the Gu family!"

"By the way, Fuyuanfang is giving out porridge today. They said they'll do it for ten consecutive days! It's all to accumulate merit for Xie Feiwan!"

"Also, Xie Feiwan changed her last name to 'Gu Feiwan'. I ran into her at the entrance of Cuihuaxuan today. The owner of Cuihuaxuan personally escorted her out. A dozen servants were holding dozens of brocade boxes! I asked around and found out that they were all newly made head ornaments from Cuihuaxuan. They said that there was only one of each of these styles, and it was only for Gu Feiwan!"

Shen Yujun was talking with saliva flying, gesticulating, and her face was flushed.

But after saying this, she paused, then collapsed on the couch and lamented:

"Hey, why didn't you get divorced a few days later? Otherwise, all these jewelry would belong to me!"

Shen Yujun often borrowed head jewelry from Gu Feiwan. Sometimes, when she couldn't find any new ones in Gu Feiwan's jewelry box, she would shamelessly ask Gu Feiwan to buy her new ones!

Now watching so many luxurious jewels slip away from her hands, Shen Yujun was really sad!

When Old Madam Shen heard this, she felt very sad, but she said stubbornly:

"She's just a merchant with two or three shops. Lan'er is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family. I heard that her in-laws are going to be promoted. Your brother's job will also be settled soon. What's the daughter of the Gu family? She's still a lowly merchant girl!"

"What mother said does make some sense, but whenever I think about how well Gu Feiwan is doing, I feel uncomfortable!"

"Don't worry, my daughter. When your brother becomes a high-ranking official, we can find a reason to seize those shops, right?"

Nanny Wang walked to the door with tea in her hand. She heard the conversation between the mother and daughter through the curtain and was speechless!

In this mansion, except for Gu Feiwan, the rest are all idiots!

Nanny Wang quietly walked back with the tea. There was not much good tea left in the mansion, so she should keep it for herself!

"Father, didn't you say that the Gu family was just a small business? Why are they so generous?"

Xie Xilan stood in the study room, twisting her handkerchief, her face full of jealousy.

"Is giving away porridge for ten days considered generous?" Xie Huaizhong stood up and coaxed his daughter:

"It's fine even if the Xie family gives alms for a month! But my father is an official in the court, and he can't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise he will be impeached by the censors!"

Xie Xilan understood these principles, but she was not happy because the ceremony of recognizing her ancestral roots was not as grand as Gu Feiwan's.

"My Lan'er, how can you lower yourself to compete with a merchant's daughter? You are the apple of your father's eye. When you marry into a marquis's mansion, you will be the marquis's legitimate mother. When the nobles in the capital hold banquets, you will be invited, but not Gu Feiwan!"

Xie Huaizhong persuaded her for a long time before Xie Xilan's face gradually improved.

The women he dated in the future were all wives of prominent officials.

The only people Gu Feiwan could deal with were those vulgar people who showed up in public.

Thinking of this, Xie Xilan became a little excited and pulled Xie Huaizhong's sleeve and shook it:

"Father, I heard that Gu Feiwan picked out a lot of jewelry at Cuihuaxuan..."

"Lan'er will also go and pick one!" Before Xie Xilan could finish, Xie Huaizhong immediately agreed:

"Pick more, even if you want to buy Cuihuaxuan, your father will agree to your request!"

Xie Xilan smiled brightly: "Father still loves me the most!"

Watching his daughter walk away, Xie Huaizhong stood at the door for a long time without moving.

The midsummer heat made beads of sweat drip from his forehead, but he seemed not to notice!

"Somebody come!"

The servant standing in the corridor bowed and ran over.

"Let the butler go to the Shen residence and urge Shen Zhili to marry the young lady as soon as possible."

Xie Huaizhong's brows were filled with worry. The wind direction in the court was about to change!
