Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Guiranju

Liu Yanyan smiled and told Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, prepare three pink wedding dresses. One according to Lin Rou's figure, and the other two according to Meilan and Zhuju's figures. Remember not to tell anyone about preparing wedding dresses for Meilan and Zhuju."

Yuzhu felt that the madam was too flattering. Meilan, Zhuju, and two little maids, what kind of wedding dresses do they need? "Yes, madam."

Liu Yanyan watched Yuzhu leave and murmured to herself, "Gu Beichen, Lin Rou, I prepared a surprise for you, I hope you like it."

Yuzhen didn't understand why the lady was so happy. Knowing that the lady had not eaten anything, she called the maid and asked the kitchen to serve some food.

It was then that Liu Yanyan discovered that the little girl Yuzhen was more agile than before. She touched her stomach and found that she was indeed a little hungry. She had felt too nauseous just now and had not eaten a single bite. She took the handkerchief handed to her by Yuzhen and washed up.

Several maids came over carrying five dishes and a soup.

Liu Yanyan looked at the delicious dishes and nodded involuntarily, speeding up her meal. The food at the old lady's place was really too disgusting.

After Liu had eaten her fill, she lay on the couch, holding a hot water bottle, and had a few maids gently massage her legs. She couldn't help but sigh, "This is real life! It's so comfortable."

When Yuzhu came back, Liu Yanyan had already fallen asleep, her face rosy as a ripe peach, looking very sweet.

Yuzhu saw that the quilt was well covered and the corners were tucked in, then she tiptoed away.

Evening

Liu Yanyan woke up and Yuzhu was helping her to dress up. An unexpected guest, Gu Beichen, came and said, "You, you, are really, really, lazy."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were slightly cold, with a hint of impatience on her face. "My husband really doesn't understand me at all for worrying about him."

Gu Beichen was very impatient. He was injured and poisoned, and it was Rou'er who took care of him. How could she be worried? Nonsense, "Madam, how are you going to arrange my marriage with Rou'er?"

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and said, "This is what my mother-in-law suggested. The ceremony of taking a concubine should be kept simple. All the money in the family has been used to buy medicinal herbs for my husband. There is no money left for a grand ceremony."

Gu Beichen frowned fiercely when he heard this. Thinking of Rou'er crying, he couldn't help but say, "Although it's mom who's in charge, you can't let Rou'er suffer! You should also give some money and welcome Rou'er in with style."

Liu Yanyan threw down the teacup in her hand, the tea splashed out, and looked at Gu Beichen fiercely, "My husband, you want to take a concubine, you want to celebrate it with splendor, I won't stop you, you want me to pay for it, this is absolutely impossible, I have sold all my dowry, how can you ask me to come up with the money? Don't force me."

Gu Beichen was shocked. Is this the virtuous and filial Liu Yanyan? Why is she so angry? I am her husband, how dare she? "You said, sold them all? I ask you, aren't the decorations and jewelry in your room still there?"

Liu Yanyan's face turned red with anger, and she cursed, "Gu Beichen, you, how can you be so shameless? I am the legal wife, and I only have some jewelry left. I sold everything else. How can you be so shameless to ask me for money to take a concubine? Where is your face? You have no shame, right? You can do whatever you want to take a concubine. I won't pay a penny."

This was the first time Gu Beichen saw Liu Yanyan like this, and he knew that he had made her very angry, so he did not continue to pester her and turned around and left Guiranju.

Liu Yanyan watched Gu Beichen leave before she gradually calmed down. She really had misjudged him. How could he not even have a bit of shame?

That night, the news that Gu Beichen forced his wife to sell her dowry jewelry so that he could take a concubine spread like wildfire in the general's mansion. When the people in the mansion saw Gu Beichen, there was hidden contempt in their eyes. The servants in several nearby mansions soon also knew about this.

Early next morning

Duke's Mansion, Cuizhu Pavilion

Liu Yanyan lay in her unmarried room, completely relaxed, eating the grapes that Yuzhu peeled one bite at a time, feeling very comfortable.

At this time, Butler Liu came over and said, "Miss, what happened? Have you been wronged? I will take people to the General's Mansion now to seek justice."

Liu Yanyan shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No, it's just that Gu Beichen wanted me to pay for a concubine, but I disagreed, so I brought back all the valuables in Guiranju early in the morning."

Butler Liu lowered his head, feeling bitter in his heart. The young lady had suffered so much injustice. My poor young lady, he paused for a while before speaking, "Young lady, young lady, this is the 3 taels of silver note that the old lady of the general's mansion used to buy the Tianshan Snow Lotus."

Liu Yanyan took the banknote, checked it, and put it in the mahogany box beside her. She asked in confusion, "Uncle Liu, is it possible that the Tianshan Snow Lotus was taken by mistake and was really given to him?"

Housekeeper Liu hurriedly shook his head and said, "The real Tianshan Snow Lotus is still in the storehouse in the mansion. The one given to them is fake. After the fake Tianshan Snow Lotus is made, a drop of real Tianshan Snow Lotus juice will be dripped on it to avoid no effect at all and causing trouble for others."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, thinking of how Gu Beichen could only use his left hand and stuttered, and her anger from yesterday subsided a little. "That's good, that's good, this way no one will suspect anything."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen squatted down and continued to peel the grapes, one by one and placed them on a plate.

Butler Liu remained calm and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was good that the young lady was not angry. This fake Tianshan Snow Lotus was useless and unrealistic! "Young lady, if you have any instructions, I will do it now."

Liu Yanyan asked, "Did Daddy send me a letter? Has the disaster relief work in Jinyang City been completed? When can he come back?"

Butler Liu shook his head and said, "There's no news from the master yet, so there won't be any problem with the disaster relief in Jinyang." With so many preparations, there shouldn't be any problems.

Just then, a pigeon landed on the windowsill, and Liu Yanyan suddenly became alert. "Yuzhu, go catch the pigeon. Daddy has sent a letter."

Yuzhu wiped her hands, walked over, opened the letter, and placed the pigeon on the windowsill. "Madam, your letter."

Liu Yanyan nodded and opened the letter impatiently.

My daughter:

Dad, we've arrived in Jinyang. The disaster here is more serious than we expected. Fortunately, the county magistrate is a good man, so there aren't many casualties.

Food has been distributed in an orderly manner, and they should be able to survive this winter. It’s just that too many houses have collapsed, so Daddy can’t come back right away, so don’t worry.

Daddy misses you, Nannan. Please take care of yourself. Daddy will buy you candied haws when he comes back.

Liu Yanyan carefully put away the letter and placed it in the wooden box beside her. She felt sad in her heart as she remembered that when she was a child, her father always used candied haws to comfort her.

After thinking for a long time, he wrote a letter, sealed it, and handed it to Yuzhu, "Change a pigeon and deliver the letter."

Yuzhu nodded, went to the backyard and chose a new pigeon to deliver the letter. She locked up the pigeon that had just returned and put some food and water next to it.
