Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Since our first wife has nothing to do with it, what are you doing?" Hong Shilang sneered, "Even if the second and third wives are all dead, it doesn't matter! We live our lives. As long as the title is still in our hands, it will be endless wealth and prosperity. Who dares to say anything if we don't make any mistakes? But now that the officials are corrupt, the emperor instigated it, the prince was in charge, the prince was in charge, and Hongze was the escort. Everyone in the court is in danger, and those who can't avoid it have to go around it. But you are so good, you ran into it head-on!"

Hearing this, Ge woke up as if from a dream, fell heavily on the chair, looked up at Hong Shilang, and asked hurriedly: "Now that things have come to this, what should I do?"

She had to go even though she couldn't. As a mother-in-law, was she expected to go and apologize to her daughter-in-law?

"Okay! I will take care of Hongze's matter. After all, he and we are in the same boat. What's more, I am the one who married his current wife! Just remember one thing, no matter what the second and third wives say, you just don't show up!" After Hong Shilang finished speaking, Yuan put on his shoes again, got up and left, without even stopping to look at her.

Ge knew she had caused trouble, so she didn't dare to stop him. Her heart was in turmoil. Suddenly, she thought of Hong Ling's matter, and hurriedly chased after him, asking, "Sir, Ling'er's entire fortune is tied up in those silks. The people who said they detained the goods are all in the army. You know her, she's just greedy for a few silver coins, how could she think of collaborating with the enemy? Why don't you say hello to the people over there and let her go!"

"If I say you're stupid, then you're really stupid!" Hong Shilang gathered his cloak, and seemed impatient. He didn't bother to say more. He just glanced at Ge with disgust and shook his head, saying, "Let her take this opportunity to hand over the housekeeping power to her mother-in-law! Their house is the Minister's Mansion, and my maid can't be the head of it!"

"Sir! I was talking about silk. Why did you bring it up with me about the power of the housekeeper?" Ge said after being stunned for a moment.

"Let's wait for the silk issue. Once the storm in the capital has passed, there will be a result." Hong Shilang used up his last bit of patience and sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you taught her! Now listen to me, from tomorrow on, if you or Hong Ling dare to act rashly again, don't blame me for showing no mercy to you!"

Mrs. Ge watched her husband leave in anger and felt a sense of fear.

The next day, she was sending someone to the Minister's residence to bring a message to her daughter, asking her to stay well at home, when Ma from the second wife and Huang from the third wife came with several wives and sat in the entire yard.

Huang was a straightforward person. She came up and grabbed her and cried, "Sister-in-law, you have to save your two brothers' lives!"

When she shouted this, all the women in the family started sobbing.

Because Ge was warned by Hong Shilang yesterday and knew the stakes involved, she naturally didn't dare to get involved in the muddy water again, but it was not easy to order her to leave directly, so she laughed, took Huang's hand, and asked with false concern: "What's wrong with the third brother's wife?"

Huang said, "My master and my second brother are in prison, beaten black and blue. They grew up in the Earl's Mansion, living a life of luxury. How could they have ever experienced anything like this? Sister-in-law knows that my master has always been weak. If you don't save him, I'm afraid he will die in the Jinyiwei prison!"

As he spoke, he knelt down and asked Ge to save him.
