Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Li Shuangwan said angrily, "Isn't this a clear threat? My grandfather is a great general. Would he be threatened by the Fang family?"

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "Of course not."

"Your grandfather had just married your grandmother at that time. They loved each other very much. How could they be willing to take a girl back with them? They refused immediately."

"Just say that there is nothing wrong between him and Miss Fang. They can believe it or not. If Miss Fang wants to die, then just pretend that he didn't save anyone yesterday."

"It just so happened that the suppression of the bandits had ended. After saying these words, your grandfather led his troops back to Shengjing."

Li Shuangwan smiled. This was her grandfather, who would not be threatened by anyone. "Then how did she become my grandfather's concubine?"

Gu Xingyan looked over and saw the autumn evening sun shining down on the girl's face.

It was as if her entire body was coated with a layer of golden light, hazy, like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, so beautiful that it was beyond words.

Gu Xingyan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently stroked the girl's face with the back of his fingers.

Such a beautiful and good girl loves him.

"Stop messing around and tell me what happened next?" Li Shuangwan pulled his hand away from her face.

Gu Xingyan smiled, and ripples appeared in his heart, but she was just listening to the story.

That’s all: “I thought the matter ended here, and your grandfather didn’t ask whether Fang Cuilan was alive or dead, but who knew. A month later, not long after your grandfather received the emperor’s order to return to the northwest, Fang Cuilan’s family brought him to the door of the General’s Mansion.”

"Her mother knelt in front of your grandmother and told her how your grandfather saved Fang from the bandits that day, and how the two of them rolled down the mountain holding each other."

"And how I spent a night in the cave and was seen by many people, and they exaggerated it. They also said that I didn't ask to be your grandfather's bedmate, but just wanted to serve your grandmother and be a maid who poured tea and water."

Li Shuangwan frowned, "They deliberately chose to come when my grandfather was not around, right? They must have thought my grandmother was easy to talk to, so they tricked her."

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Your grandmother is gentle and kind, she has no idea of ​​the evilness of human nature, and she knows how important a woman's reputation is to her, so she immediately decided to keep her."

"He stayed there for a year. It was not until a year later, when your grandfather returned to Shengjing, that he learned that such a person had moved into his home. But by then, it was impossible to drive him away."

"Your grandmother also disagreed. During that time, she got along very well with your grandmother, and they were like sisters."

Li Shuangwan felt something was wrong: "But even if Fang moved into the General's Mansion, as long as my grandfather didn't take her as a concubine, she would at most be a maidservant beside my grandmother. How could it be..."

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "We are still investigating what happened next. It has been more than 40 years, and many people who knew the inside story have died. Most of the older members of Fang's family have also died in the past two years."

"The Fang family has now become a large and influential family in Xixiang City thanks to the Fang clan. It's not easy to find out what happened decades ago. Yanyan, give them a little more time and we will get to the bottom of it."

Li Shuangwan gently moved closer to the man's arms, letting him hold her, and nodded: "Okay."

She knew that her grandfather was not a lecherous man, and he and her grandmother were deeply in love with each other. He would never let Fang easily climb into bed and become his concubine.

Something shameful and unknown must have happened, forcing my grandfather to take her as a concubine.

Besides, Fang was not a good person either.

On the other hand, although her father was already forty-two years old, it was still possible to see that he must have been a very handsome general when he was young, which meant that her grandmother must have been very beautiful.

Just for this reason, my grandfather would never look down on a woman like Fang.

……

When Li Huaiyi learned that his beloved concubine had been dealt with by his mother, he was so angry that he immediately went to Songhe Hall to argue with the old lady.

"Mother, Tong is still my son's concubine. How could you punish her without even asking me?"

"What's the point of keeping a little bitch who can't even raise a daughter!" The old lady's face turned ugly when she saw that her son was getting angry with her for a woman.

"Mother, I will handle this matter myself, but you are overreaching by doing this!"

The old lady slapped the table with a loud slap. "Second brother, do you think I am too controlling? I think it is that bitch Tong who has bewitched you. Look at what you have become!"

Li Huaiyi squatted on the ground angrily: "Son, don't care. You disposed of my woman, you must compensate me."

The old lady was so angry that she pointed at his nose and started to scold him.

Li Huaiyi glared at her and said, "If you don't compensate me today, I won't leave."

"You!" The old lady's chest heaved with anger. How could she have given birth to such a useless thing?

"Madam, the Duke and the eldest son have returned home." Madam Cai hurriedly advised. It would be too embarrassing if the Duke knew about this.

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I brought a few maids from Xixiang City. You can pick any one you like. Or you can pick whoever you want in your own courtyard. I don't care about your business anymore."

When Li Huaiyi heard what the old lady said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Fang Yuqian behind the old lady and said, "Then mother, please give her to me."

Fang Yuqian's face turned pale immediately: "Aunt, great aunt..."

The old lady's face darkened, and she pointed at his nose and cursed: "You evil creature, you are so stupid! She is your niece, and I prepared her for Li Yuanqiao. How can you take her away!"

Li Huaiyi snorted softly. Only Fang Yuqian could catch his eye. She was pretty, with a curvy figure, and all the meat where it should be. She was very lovable. He had taken a fancy to her the day she came.

The old lady actually still didn't agree.

When Fang saw her son's expression, she knew what he was thinking: "I warn you, if you dare to touch her, I will beat you to death!"

Li Huaiyi was still afraid of his old mother. He snorted and said nothing.

The old lady picked up the dragon-headed cane at hand and hit Li Huaiyi on the back: "Did you hear that?"

Li Huaiyi said reluctantly: "Oh, okay, okay, I know, isn't that enough? Then you can give it to me, mother. I don't want the ugly one."

"I want two!"

The old lady was angry and reached for the dragon-headed cane at hand, but Li Huaiyi ran away.

……

Li Shuangwan discovered it on the day Li Yuanming secretly put the box of jewelry into her room.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard and was still two meters away from the bedroom, she realized something was wrong.

There's someone in her room!
