Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

"The old general and the three young masters in the general's mansion all... sacrificed their lives for the country and died on the battlefield. When the old lady heard the news, she wrapped a white silk scarf at home and followed the old general."

"!" The blood color on Xiang Qing's face also faded away completely.

She has loved her grandparents and three uncles since she was a child.

Although, they were all military generals and looked a bit fierce, especially my grandfather who had broad shoulders and a big waist, and looked like a bear, but that was only the fierceness on his face.

They were all very good and kind people. Not only did they spoil her, but even when she wanted to ride a horse when she was a child, none of them got angry. They would just put her on their necks and run around. Her grandfather would even lie on the ground and let her ride on his back.

And her grandmother was so gentle. She would make sweet cakes for her and embroider beautiful flowers for her.

How could they disappear overnight?

"You are the only one I have, Qing'er. You are the only one I have. You must be well and live well..."

Xiang Wan hugged Xiang Qing tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Warm tears flowed down her cheeks and slid into Xiang Qing's collar.

Xiang Qing couldn't tell for a moment whether those were his own tears or his mother's tears.

She could only cry loudly while assuring again and again: "Qing'er will be fine, Qing'er will always be with mother."

And her father came back at this time.

"Dad...who are they?"

Xiang Qing was feeling sad and wanted her father to comfort her mother, but when she turned around, she saw a delicate woman standing behind her father, and a boy of her age standing behind him.

An ominous premonition suddenly struck Xiang Qing's heart.

But at that time, Xiang Qing had no idea what that ominous feeling meant.

On the contrary, her mother, whose face was already pale, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood after seeing the appearance of the woman opposite her.

"It's you!"

"who is she?"

Xiang Qing nervously wiped the blood from his mother's lips, and then stood in front of her.

She didn't know who that woman was, but she knew that her mother had vomited blood, but her father was indifferent.

The woman delicately climbed onto her father's arm and said innocently, "My sister doesn't look well. Husband, let's go."

"Why did you call me daddy?!"

"Oh, so fierce." The woman seemed to be frightened and quickly hid behind the man.

The man frowned when he saw this, and immediately scolded: "Xiang Qing, this is your mother, do you have any manners?"

"My mother is Xiang Wan, not some unknown person!"

"Snapped!"

The man raised his hand and slapped Xiang Qing, leaving two clear slap marks on Xiang Qing's face.

"stop!"

Xiang Wan quickly reached out and held Xiang Qing in her arms.

However, after hearing the tragic news at home, Xiang Wan was exhausted and was at the end of her strength. She was just holding on for a breath.

"Xiang Wan, you don't seem to have put yourself in the right place. Do you think you are still the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion? Now, the entire General's Mansion is gone, and I am the only one you can rely on."

"!" Xiang Wan seemed to have not expected that the person next to her would say such words, and she could not help but be stunned.

"Give up my position as the principal wife, and I will treat you and your daughter well. Otherwise..."

"You want me to be your concubine? You want that bastard to be your legitimate son, and you want my Qing'er to become a concubine who will be manipulated and sent away by the mistress of the house? Gu Cheng, forget it!"

Even though her face was so pale that it looked like she would die in the next second, Xiang Wan's mind was still clear.

I know that even if I compromise and agree to it, I won't get a good life in return.

She could die, but she couldn't let her Qing'er be controlled by anyone.

"Don't even think about it? Xiang Wan, are you sure you want to talk to me like this?"

Gu Cheng was very angry at Xiang Wan's ignorance of the current situation.

Xiang Wan smiled when he heard that. His pale face and crazy smile gave people a creepy feeling of terror.

"You were the one who poisoned me, right?"

"Mother, what kind of poison is it?" Xiang Qing vaguely guessed something but didn't dare to think about it too much.

Xiang Wan did not answer, but Gu Cheng's expression suddenly changed.

"When you married me, you promised never to take a concubine. You've been pretending for more than ten years. Now it's too late to stop pretending."

"Xiang Wan, what are you going to do?"

Gu Cheng felt that something seemed beyond his expectations.

"Gu Cheng, guess what, if I die now, will the woman behind you and your son still be your legal wife and legitimate son?"

Gu Cheng knew very well that Xiang Wan must not die as his legal wife, because even if she died as a second wife, Xiang Qing's status as his legitimate daughter would not change, and she would still be superior to his son.

Moreover, he could tell from Xiang Wan's burning eyes that it was not a look of seeking death, but a look of looking at prey.

He had seen this look before.

Sharp, terrifying, and unable to move.

That was the look he saw when he first met General Xiang.

That's not a look of seeking death, that's a look of seeking life.

Xiang Wan's face was so pale that she looked like she would fall down in the next second, but Gu Cheng's legs could not stop shaking.

That is an instinctive reaction of the body that precedes reason.

"Husband, you have been suppressed by her for so long? Are you going to back down now?"

The weak woman noticed Gu Cheng's hesitation and became anxious in an instant.

It has come to the most critical step, she cannot allow herself to fail here.

She didn't want to be that shameful mistress, since she was the one who gave birth to Gu Cheng's son.

Xiang Wan just had a better family background and just had a difficult birth. Why can she just not have another child?

Moreover, she even wanted Xiang Qing, who would get married sooner or later and lose money, to inherit the family business? She even forced Gu Cheng to agree.

joke!

What a joke!

This huge family business, of course, belongs to her son! It can only belong to her son!

"Husband, isn't it just a matter of one word from you to divorce me? You are a man, how can you let a dying woman control you like this?"

The more the woman thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.

Then, provocative words came out one after another.

Gu Cheng seemed to have accumulated a lot of resentment over the years. When he heard the woman's urging again and again, his eyes turned red.

However, he knew very well that he could not divorce his wife.

Because their marriage was arranged by His Majesty.

Xiang Wan's willingness to be his concubine was the best outcome he could think of.

The woman saw that Gu Cheng was so aggressive just now, but now he was useless and a little annoyed.

Her gaze quickly turned and fell on Xiang Qing.
