Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Hong Chu walked and looked behind the Right Prime Minister, Madam Wei. Just as she was about to take two steps forward to look for Ge, she heard her mother-in-law looking at her with a fake smile and snorted coldly, "By the way, this Tingyu Tower is now your eldest brother's private property."

There were people at the back who didn't know what was going on. They looked at Hong Chu with envy and said, "This Tingyu Tower is really a great treasure! We may only be able to come here once in our lifetime. Madam can come whenever she wants. She is really blessed!"

Hong Chu's face turned pale and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Madam Wei laughed and chatted with the man again, saying, "Not only that! In addition to this Tingyu Tower, her elder brother also has a small mountain garden on the outskirts of the city, with ten thousand acres of red plum blossoms planted. They are the most eye-catching when it snows, with distinct red and crystal white. It is the best place to view plum blossoms."

Everyone was envious again and said a lot of flattering words. They just picked up nice words to say and praised Anan from top to bottom before leaving in a huff.

Hong Chu's face became uglier and uglier. She looked at her mother-in-law pleadingly. She didn't know why Madam Wei, who was usually polite to her, always made fun of this today. After waiting until everyone dispersed, she came over and said with a smile, "Mother, you know our family affairs. Why do you have to argue with these ignorant women and children?"

Although there was some anger in his tone, he didn't have the confidence to lose his temper in front of Mrs. Wei. He was just a little angry.

"Yes, even ignorant women and children know how to weigh the pros and cons, and they praise people like you in Tingyu Tower. But some people, who claim to be the daughters of noble families, are actually ignorant in private, and only think about the secret calculations in the backyard, worry about the right and wrong of the past, and lose sight of the mountains and rivers in front of them." Mrs. Wei spoke with a smile on her face the whole time, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Her voice was so low that even the woman closest to her could not hear it clearly. Only Hong Chu heard it clearly.

These words were really blunt, and it seemed that the Right Prime Minister could no longer sit still.

Mrs. Wei had been gone for a long time, but Hong Chu was still there, feeling mixed emotions. The seventh girl's plan to marry Hong Yuan had just come to nothing. Her sister-in-law's family knew that she was a troublemaker and would always stir up trouble for no reason. Moreover, she had suffered a great loss that day, so naturally she would not say anything good in front of her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law was very unhappy the next day. She was so tired that she stood in the corridor in the rain for half a day with a big belly. It was her husband Wei Kejia who came forward to find her father-in-law. Her father-in-law never liked to interfere in the affairs of the inner house, but seeing that it was inconvenient for her with her big belly, he took the initiative to ask for her to be exempted from the standing rule. If she still disobeys her mother-in-law now, I am afraid her future life will not be easy.

She knew what Mrs. Wei was planning, but...

She turned around and went back, only to see that her mother Ge had listened to her and came late with Tang Cailing and Jiang Siling. Tang Cailing complained that Ge had brought Jiang Siling with her when she went out, and she was very unhappy and didn't even have a good face.

Jiang Siling, who was attending such a big scene for the first time, was stunned and timid. She didn't even dare to raise her head. When she turned around and saw the eyes of others, Hong Chu felt suffocated. When he saw that Jiang Siling's clothes were not as good as those of the decent maids in Tingyu Tower, his brows were deeply furrowed for a moment.

Mrs. Ge had already seen Hong Zhu, so she quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you see Ze'er's wife?"
