"Nonsense!" Yuan Shaohui listened to the general idea and immediately glared at him in protest:

"How many important military documents do you have? Do you want to move them all here? Not to mention whether they can be put here, if something goes wrong during the journey, it will be a serious crime of conspiracy to rebel, and the family property will be confiscated and the clan will be exterminated!"

Madam Gu San was originally the daughter of a general from Humen. She had been exposed to the world since she was a child. Even though her mind had been confused from time to time over the years, she was alert after hearing Yuan Shaohui's words:

"Xiaozhou, you must not use it!"

As she spoke, she pulled Gu Feiwan's hand and said, "Go and persuade Xiaozhou. This is a matter concerning the country's foundation, so don't act willfully!"

Gu Feiwan looked embarrassed: "Mother, I just told you that he has been without his mother's love since he was a child, and it is a knot in his heart that he can't get over. Now, we hit it off right away and have similar interests. I know this is a serious matter, but I know even more about his pain. I can't bear to persuade him!"

Mrs. Gu San was moved after hearing this. She missed her daughter so much that she could understand how much Ning Weizhou missed his mother.

Ning Weizhou stood up and walked out when he saw this: "I will move those confidential documents myself. If anything goes wrong, I will pay with my head!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shaohui clenched his fists and wanted to hit him hard!

"What are you crazy about? You have a family and children. Even if you don't care about the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, don't you care about Fei Wan and the two children?"

Ning Weizhou was stopped, but he still refused to change his mind.

Mrs. Gu San, who was in the house, saw the quarrel outside and Ning Weizhou's red eyes, looking extremely pitiful. She did not hesitate any longer and leaned against the window and said:

"I'll go back with you!"

Yuan Shaohui was stunned, but Ning Weizhou quickly rushed back into the house with a look of surprise on his face:

"Are you serious, mother? Are you not lying to me?"

Madam Gu San was a straightforward person. Having made up her mind, she stopped hesitating:

"Of course it's true! This place is small and I've been living here for three days. I can't breathe any more. I heard that the General's Mansion is spacious. I think it's more suitable for me to recuperate!"

Ning Weizhou nodded happily: "Mother and I think the same. Before I came, I had someone tidy up the widest courtyard in the mansion to ensure that mother will live comfortably!"

Gu Feiwan's eyes lit up as well: "Everything in that yard is newly purchased. Mother, go and take a look and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with. I'll have someone rearrange it right away!"

"Okay, okay, let's go and take a look!" Seeing the children happy, Mrs. Gu San was also happy.

Mrs. Gu San didn't have much luggage, so she packed it up in no time and moved it all to the carriage at the gate.

Looking at the three people walking out of the door happily, Yuan Shaohui was petrified on the spot!

When my daughter first moved in, she didn’t say that this place was cramped and stuffy!

Yuan Shaohui still remembers that his daughter said that this place is small and elegant, and it is a very suitable place to cultivate one's character!

How come everything changed in the blink of an eye?

The old servant who was guarding the house came over and asked cautiously, "Master, the young lady has moved away, are you moving too?"

Yuan Shaohui was so angry that he wanted to yell, "I live in my own house!"

But thinking of his daughter, his granddaughter, and the pair of great-grandchildren he had yet to meet, he let out a breath and whispered:

"Hurry up and move my luggage over there too!"

The General's Mansion, which had been deserted for several months, became lively again!

With two new masters, we need to choose servants.

Originally, in order to prevent the mansion from being corrupt, the huge general's mansion had only a few maids and servants serving in the inner courtyard, except for the menial servants who did the rough work.

But Mrs. Gu San is in poor health, so she needs more people to serve her in the yard.

These days, every famous maid in the capital city comes in and out of the general's mansion with a long line of maids.

People in the streets are saying that the general's wife has set a rule that the people bought to serve in the palace must be of good character within three generations, have a pleasing appearance, be hardworking, have some strength, and be able to tell the master about the latest news from the outside world from time to time to make him happy.

Although the requirements are a bit high, the monthly salary given by the General's Mansion is also very generous!

The old women warned the maids under their charge that a good thing was about to fall from the sky, and they had to be extremely careful, because if anyone could be chosen, it would be such a great fortune that their ancestors' graves would be filled with pride!

It was just about buying a few maids, but Ning Weizhou and Gu Feiwan caused a sensation in the capital.

Soon, an official came to the memorial, saying that General Ning Weizhou had become arrogant and domineering because of his favor and military achievements in Western Shu. Even the purchase of a few maids for his mansion was more lavish than the emperor's selection of concubines!

Ning Weizhou was naturally called to the imperial presence again. The emperor's roar came from the imperial study, and even the guards standing in the square could hear it clearly!

It is said that Ning Weizhou stubbornly refused to admit his mistake, so the emperor sent him back home and ordered him to reflect on his mistakes. If he did not reflect deeply on his mistakes, he would not be allowed to leave the palace!

Although such a big incident happened, the purchase of maids for the General's Mansion continued in full swing.

It was not until twenty days later that the matter came to an end. Gu Feiwan had finally decided on the candidate. He left the maid behind and left the general's mansion with a large sum of silver. The smile on the maid's face was brighter than the sun in the sky!

If it weren't for the age difference, they would have wanted to keep me here!

After all this trouble, counting the days, it’s time for the New Year!

Gu Feiwan went back to the Gu Mansion and spent most of the day there. When she stepped out of the Gu Mansion, her eyes were red.

Madam Gu, who loved Gu Feiwan the most in the Gu Mansion, did not see her off. Even Gu Yechen, who always said "good boy", did not show up.

Only Madam Gu came out to see them off, but she didn't say much. She stood at the door waiting for the carriage to turn around. Before the carriage had even taken two steps, she turned back into the mansion.

Those who saw this whispered that the Gu family must be disappointed with Ning Weizhou!

Originally thought to be a young general with a bright future, marrying my daughter to him would naturally raise the Gu family's status. As for an imperial merchant, all he needs to do is build connections!

But this year, Ning Weizhou behaved inappropriately and offended the emperor several times.

Every time he came back from a great achievement, he would cause trouble again.

For people who do business, the most important thing is that harmony brings wealth!

Business families like the Gu family who have reached this point only want "stability"!

But Ning Weizhou does not have these two words on his body!

There is only "turbulence" and "drifting"!

It seems that the Gu family is going to give up on Ning Weizhou, otherwise they would not be so disrespectful even to the most favored Gu Feiwan who came home to plead for mercy!

The day before New Year's Eve, a man came to the gate of the General's Mansion, alone, furious and full of momentum!

"Ning Weizhou, I don't care how you act, but the descendants of the Zhenguo Mansion cannot be destroyed in your hands. I will take my great-grandson back today!"

Ning Zhi stood at the gate of the General's Mansion and tried to rush in several times, but was blocked at the gate by Lou Yi and Lou Er. He could only yell into the mansion:

"Ning Weizhou, get out here! You are an unvirtuous and unfilial son. Not only did you force your father to leave the capital, but now you are forcing me to die at your doorstep?"
