Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Tsk! Look at what you said!" Huang smacked her lips and shook her head, "If his biological mother was still alive, why would we have to shout and run so hard? Even if Hongze stood by and watched, Hongyuan would definitely step forward! These two brothers seem to be more loyal than their father! What a pity..."

"By the way, do you think there's something strange about Sanniang's death?" Ma glanced at Huang and tested cautiously.

Huang shook her head and said, "Second sister-in-law! It's already this late! You still have the heart to think about these things! Instead of grinding your teeth over old things, why not discuss how to stop eldest brother tomorrow!"

"Now that the two brothers Hongze and Hongyuan have grown up and have become successful, if we really let them know something about what happened to Sanniang in the past, do you think that the eldest sister-in-law would be afraid? Instead of crying and forcing her, it would be better to find some way to catch the eldest sister-in-law's braids in your hands, what do you think, third sister-in-law?" Ma was sure that Huang would be fooled.

Sure enough, Huang slapped her thigh hard and said loudly, "It's you, second sister-in-law! You came up with such a good idea!"

This was a vicious plan devised by Ma that killed three birds with one stone.

She tried to get more information from Huang indirectly so that she could exchange it with Anan to get her husband out of danger.

Taking advantage of the situation, Huang used the death of Meng Sanniang to threaten Ge and Hong Shilang, forcing Hong Shilang to come forward to rescue her husband.

He instigated the conflict between the father and son of the first wife, resulting in both sides suffering losses.

If the plan succeeded, the first wife would be deposed, and her husband Hong Shixian, as the second son of the Earl's Mansion, would naturally inherit the title; if the plan failed, the third wife and her husband would also serve as scapegoats.

How could a simple-minded person like Huang have imagined Ma's vicious thoughts? She even felt grateful to her second sister-in-law.

Seeing that Huang had completely fallen into her trap, Ma felt at ease and recalled everything about Meng Sanniang with her.

The result was very disappointing to her. Huang went to the first house to make trouble twice. Once was because the steward distributed less cloth than last year, and the other time was because the tenants on the farm ran to the first house. At that time, Meng Sanniang was still the head of the first house, and she always used her own money to settle the matter.

Therefore, Huang had no opinion about her.

As for Meng Sanniang's death, although she had racked her brains to figure it out, it was obvious that she knew less than Ma.

This was not a solution. When one plan failed, Ma came up with another. She possessed Huang and whispered to her for a while.

Huang was overjoyed, with a smile on her face, and she clapped her hands and nodded repeatedly.

This stubborn woman went to Ge's courtyard early the next morning. As expected, just like yesterday, the servants stopped her and said that Ge was not feeling well and was feeling depressed. The doctor said she needed to rest.

She slapped the servants a few times and then barged in. Although the servants were angry, they did not dare to fight back, so she was able to go straight in and no one dared to stop her.

After entering the house, she happened to see Ge dressed neatly and sitting there drinking sweet soup. Huang was immediately furious and rushed forward in two steps, knocked over the soup bowl in front of Ge, kicked and poked, and made a mess of Ge's room.

Ge was already in the wrong, and seeing that the person coming was a cannon that never turned corners, she was even more annoyed, so she said angrily with a cold face: "How come you have no manners at all!"

"Rules? These are your rules! I'll ask all the elders of the Hong family to come and see. These are your rules! Even your own brothers are locked up in jail. The eldest brother is like a father, and this is how you take care of your brothers!" Huang yelled, refusing to give in.
