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

Xie Feiwan patted his chest, looking terrified: "My Lord, it's late at night, don't be so scary!"

"Since you are afraid, you should prepare the betrothal gifts and let Lan'er marry into the family smoothly! Otherwise, not only me, but even the Xie family will not tolerate you!"

"My husband, you are wrong!" Xie Feiwan threw down the melon seeds in his hand, leaned forward and said seriously:

"Today I have severed my relationship with the Xie family. If the Xie family attacks me in the future, it is not a private matter of the family. It must be reported to Jingzhao Prefecture. Xie Huaizhong is the Tongzheng of the Tongzhengshisi, a senior official of the fourth rank. He has handled countless documents and files, so he must understand this principle!"

Shen Zhili was shocked when he heard this. Looking at Xie Feiwan's expression, it seemed that she had already planned to break off the relationship with the Xie family today!

But which woman in the world would be willing to break off ties with her natal family?

A married woman would not even dare to neglect a dog from her parents’ home, let alone severing the relationship?

Shen Zhili shook his head. There was no way such a thing could exist in the world!

He put away his panic and displayed his dignity:

"Even if the Xie family can't control you, you are still a member of my mansion. If the wife of the mansion falls ill, I think no one will suspect anything..."

Xie Feiwan lazily leaned back on the couch and said sarcastically, "When the Marquis came in, didn't you notice that there was someone missing from my room?"

Shen Zhili looked around quickly, and when he sat down again, his expression was tense:

"Where's Qingshuang?"

"That girl said she was afraid she wouldn't survive the night in the mansion, so she sneaked out!" Xie Feiwan propped up his chin, his eyes full of mockery:

"As long as I spread the news of an accident, Qingshuang will definitely say something that the Marquis doesn't like. After all, the Marquis has been serving as an outsider for three years, and his mistress has three children. How can outsiders not think a little more?"

Shen Zhili's handsome face turned red!

"Don't talk nonsense! Lan'er and I are in love, and the fact that we have many children is the blessing of the Shen family's ancestors!"

"Yes, the Marquis has been in Anping for three years, and your colleagues only know that Xie Xilan is the Marquis's wife, and they have no idea that there is someone like me in the Marquis's Mansion in the capital!"

Shen Zhili was suddenly startled!

He thought that Anping was a long way away, and he especially doted on Xie Xilan.

Whenever Xie Xilan complained about the insults that other ladies used against the concubine, Shen Zhili couldn't bear to correct her self-proclaimed name!

But these words must not reach the ears of our superiors and the emperor now!

The documents for his return to Beijing to take up his post have not yet come down. If news of unrest in his family and the scandal of him favoring his concubine and ignoring his wife spreads at this time, all the suffering he has endured in Anping for three years will be in vain!

No matter what, my marriage with Xie Feiwan was granted by the emperor!

Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?

Looking at Shen Zhili's constantly changing expression, Xie Feiwan felt very happy!

In my previous life, I was so blinded by greed that I allowed them to humiliate me!

She is a merchant's daughter, a fake daughter.

How good is Shen Zhili?

Aren’t you born a peasant?

What a family of ignorant and stupid people!

Xie Feiwan fiddled with the melon seeds on the plate, with a raised corner of his mouth:

"My Lord, you must make a decision soon. If you are late, I am afraid the baby in Xie Xilan's belly will not be able to wait!"

Counting the days, the emperor's death is just around the corner.

At that time, the whole country will observe mourning for three months, and weddings and celebrations are strictly prohibited!

Thinking of Xie Xilan getting married with a bulging belly, Xie Feiwan laughed even more wantonly!

The noble ladies in Beijing are all bored and have problems. They would probably talk about this kind of thing for a year or two!

Only a second-rate family like the Weiwu Marquis's would go to so much trouble, even asking for help from the Golden Palace and gathering the family's resources, to marry a concubine into the family, and make her a co-wife!

"Madam, you and I are husband and wife, and we share honor and disgrace together. You have always been virtuous. Let's forget about the initial anger. We still have to walk hand in hand in the future!"

Shen Zhili stood up with a shy face and touched Xie Feiwan's shoulder:

"Madam, you've worked hard. Let me relax you!"

Xie Feiwan turned sideways, his face full of undisguised disdain:

"My Lord, you don't have to force yourself. Thank you for writing a letter to sever the relationship so straightforwardly. My Lord should follow your example!"

Shen Zhili's hand fell empty, and a gloomy look appeared in his eyes:

"Then consider it as me borrowing some money from Madam, and I will pay you back later!"

"Borrow it?" Xie Feiwan clapped his hands, shook off the melon seed crumbs on his body, and answered readily: "Okay!"

Shen Zhili was delighted: "I knew that Madam was generous..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Feiwan waved outside:

"Bring me some paper and pen, so that my Lord can use it!"

"Madam, this is..."

Xie Feiwan tilted his head and smiled: "Please write down the IOU, my Lord, so that I can ask Qinglin to collect the silver. Don't delay your great event!"

"Oh, by the way, how much do you want to borrow, sir?"

Shen Zhili's forehead was throbbing with veins: "This is unreasonable!"

In a rage, he waved his sleeves and walked away quickly, and the teacups on the table fell to the ground with a clang!

"Qinglin, remember this, this Ru kiln bone china is not cheap!"

Xie Feiwan added fuel to the fire by standing at the door, and successfully saw Shen Zhili's figure falling outside the courtyard gate in the night!

In Qiyun Pavilion, Xie Xilan changed clothes for Shen Zhili, and the two of them snuggled together, full of love.

"Li Lang, did Lan'er make things difficult for you?" Xie Xilan was nervous and aggrieved, her eyes full of watery light, full of dependence on Shen Zhili.

Facing such a pair of eyes, Shen Zhili felt unbearable pain in his heart.

His Lan'er trusts him wholeheartedly. If he can't protect her from the wind and rain, he would be unworthy of being a man!

"How can you say that, Lan'er? I am your husband, so I should take care of everything for you!" Shen Zhili took a breath and put on a heroic attitude:

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word and give you a wedding that all the girls in Beijing will envy!"

"I know that Li Lang treats me the best!" Xie Xilan exhaled sweetly, and her small hands wandered around Shen Zhili's waist and abdomen.

Shen Zhili was distracted, but for the first time he did not pounce on his prey like a hungry tiger:

"The fetus is less than three months old, don't hurt the baby!"

Xie Xilan looked shy, lowered her head and frowned, with red clouds appearing on her fair neck: "I know, I know another way!"

That night, Xie Xilan's method did not work.

Shen Zhili understood that she had been tired from traveling all the way and couldn't bear to see the person he loved so much get tired.

When Xie Xilan's breathing stabilized, Shen Zhili sighed secretly!

He just talked about being heroic, but only he himself knows how hollow he is inside!

Silver is not like fallen leaves on the street that you can pick up in a basket just by going out!

During his three years of service in Anping, Shen Zhili never took home a penny of his salary!

He had to send letters back to the Marquis' Mansion every ten days to ask for more money in order to cover all expenses for him, Xie Xilan and their two children!

A penny of silver can make a hero fall!

Shen Zhili deeply felt that he was the tragic hero!

But then I thought, after all, I am a duke with a title.

Humph, I just don’t believe that I can’t get the money!

He served in the post for three years and received many compliments from his superiors. He naturally had a promising future.

Just a few taels of silver, can it really stump him?

The next day, Shen Zhili got up early, without even having breakfast, and went straight to his colleague's house.
