Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

The whispers in the hall rose, and the ladies gathered in groups or retreated to corners.

There was disdain and ridicule on everyone's face and in their eyes!

The owner of Cuihuaxuan was famous for his good temper in Beijing. Even if he met a difficult customer, he would always treat him with a smile.

But at this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds. If the sight had substance, it would have pierced two holes through Xie Xilan:

"If Master Xie wants to buy Cuihuaxuan, just go and talk to the owner!"

"Listen carefully, from now on, we at Cuihuaxuan will not do Miss Xie's business!"

All the waiters and servants answered in unison: "Yes!"

Two burly men walked out from the corner and waved their hands toward the door:

"Xie, Miss Xie, we brothers are very powerful, you'd better go out by yourself!"

Since Xie Xilan was born, has she ever suffered such humiliation?

With a frown on her face, she pointed at the shopkeeper and cursed: "Little Cui Huaxuan is so arrogant, just wait and see!"

He turned his head and looked around, speaking passionately:

"Sisters, Cuihuaxuan has thugs on its payroll, just like bandits. They are not the only silver shop in the capital, so please don't do business with them!"

"Bah!" Someone spat, "You ran away with someone, and you still had the nerve to call yourself a 'girl'. If Cuihuaxuan sells jewelry to you, I will never patronize it again!"

"Before she even entered the house, she drove away the legitimate wife of the Marquis's mansion. Such a woman is like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard. It's chilling to see her!"

"Sister, why are you so disappointed? You should be disgusted. She is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, but she is so arrogant! I will ask my husband to report her father when I get back!"

"Yes, I will ask my husband to report him too!"

Those who can spend a fortune in Cuihuaxuan are all well-known people in Beijing.

Not to mention that there are several private rooms upstairs, and the ladies inside are of extraordinary status!

"My brother is so blind that he actually let Shen Zhili be the Minister of Works. No, I have to go back to the palace and reason with him!"

"Master, aren't you worried about who to impeach tomorrow? I'll give them both names at once!"

Xie Xilan was extremely embarrassed. She was proud of her appearance, talent and background, and thought she was outstanding in everything.

But who would have known that only after something happened would I realize how unbearable I was in the circle of ladies!

After being kicked out of Cuihuaxuan, Xie Xilan saw her own butler. Her eyes turned red and she burst into tears in public.

But the noble lady who was leaving still whispered in disdain: "With this look, she is really a vixen who only knows how to seduce men!"

The butler of the Xie Mansion was of some age and naturally had rich experience. He guessed that his young lady must have suffered at the hands of these noble ladies!

He sighed inwardly: The young lady has been raised on the farm by the master, with little eyes or ears, and has been doted on mindlessly. Later, she followed the marquis to Anping, a small place like that, so naturally she was pampered again. How could she know the taboos of the noble ladies in the capital?

Without any matchmakers or betrothals, she gave birth to a pair of children for Shen Zhili. This was the concubine that the noble ladies hated so much!

Not long after returning to Beijing, she asked the emperor to grant her a marriage. It was an honor, but it forced Shen Zhili's wife to divorce him, which was a big taboo in the circle of noble ladies!

Just imagine, which lady from a noble family could tolerate her husband not entering the bridal chamber after their wedding but secretly taking another woman to bed?

After returning home, he became even more restless and forced his wife away!

Alas, the steward of the Xie Mansion could not help but sigh. His master was smart and capable in other matters, but he was always confused when it came to his children!

Thinking of the two young masters in the mansion, the Xie Mansion Manager shook his head again and again.

In the past, I had Gu Feiwan to help me, so at least I could still have a job.

Who knows what will happen in the future!

I have to say that the butler of the Xie Mansion is somewhat prophetic!

He led Xie Xilan and her servant into the front yard and walked along the corridor when he heard Xie Huaizhong roaring in the study:

"You bastard! You really piss me off!"

Xie Xilan didn't have time to go back to the house, and hurried into the study, only to see her two younger brothers kneeling on the floor tiles, each with a slap mark on their face and a footprint on their chest!

"Father, what's going on?" Xie Xilan poured the tea and walked forward to pass it to Xie Huaizhong.

But Xie Huaizhong pushed it away slightly and didn't take it, still furious:

"The Spring Examination will be held next year. If you two cause this now and are expelled from the Jingzhao Prefecture, where will you find a place to stand in the capital in the future?"

"My son doesn't want to work in Jingzhao Prefecture anymore!" Xie Cheng'an curled his lips and muttered:

"The old man is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard, making people sick at the sight of him!"

"That's right!" Xie Chengyong and his brother argued together: "Besides, this is not a big deal. It's only two hundred taels of silver. Can't we pay it back?"

Xie Huaizhong snatched the cup from Xie Xilan's hand and threw it at his two sons!

"Snapped"!

Porcelain pieces flew everywhere, Xie Chengyong screamed and covered the back of his hand:

"Father, I'm bleeding!"

Xie Xilan hurried forward and wrapped Xie Chengyong's hand with a handkerchief: "Go and call the court doctor!"

"Don't go!" Xie Huaizhong roared, shocking his three children!

"If I bleed, I bleed; if I die, I will be at peace!"

Although the words were cruel, Xie Huaizhong's anger was finally half gone!

He seemed exhausted, and sat down on the chair, feeling heartbroken:

"Your mother passed away at an early age. Before she left, she hoped that you would do better! Alas, I am the one who has let her down in the end!"

"Go to the account office and take out 500 taels of silver to compensate them and apologize sincerely! I will find a way to deal with the Jingzhao Prefecture's errands!"

"We two brothers only took 200 taels in total, why should we pay 500 taels? Wouldn't that be a big injustice?" Xie Chengan turned his head away and refused.

Seeing that Xie Huaizhong was about to get angry again, Xie Xilan quickly pulled her two younger brothers out.

The butler of the Xie Mansion who was standing in the corridor continued to shake his head. The master was always like this, all talk and no action. The young masters had already figured out their father's temper, so how could he change it?

In the study, Xie Huaizhong dragged his legs and slowly opened the compartment.

As soon as I entered the cubicle, tears started flowing!

"Ma'am, I'm sorry! I didn't teach my sons well, and I didn't teach my daughter well!"

"But I don't have a good solution right now. I can't really watch them go to jail. That's the son you gave birth to with all your life. I can't bear it!"

"Madam, what should I do? The Gu family has suddenly become powerful and is no longer the small merchant it was ten years ago. My career is in crisis again, but I don't know where the crisis came from. It seems that there are dangers everywhere. I can't sleep at night!"

"Lan'er is deeply in love with Shen Zhili, but I think the Shen family may not be a good match for her. But the matter is done and there is no turning back. I am worried that Lan'er will suffer in the Shen family!"

Xie Huaizhong fell on the mat and cried bitterly!

"Master, Master!" The butler ran in with a panicked look on his face. He tripped over the threshold and rolled to Xie Huaizhong's feet!

"Why are you so flustered?" Xie Huaizhong looked embarrassed. When he was talking to his wife in the compartment, he strictly prohibited others from approaching!

"Master, the palace bell is ringing!" The butler pointed outside with a shaking finger, ignoring the excruciating pain in his knee.

"Twenty-seven knocks!"
