Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

next day

Liu Yanyan woke up at daybreak. Seeing that it was still early outside, she turned over, hugged the quilt and continued to sleep, unwilling to get up.

Until Yuzhu came in with an oil lamp, opened the bed curtain, and shouted, "Miss, Miss, get up. If you don't get up now, you will be late when you go to the government office."

Liu Yanyan rubbed her eyes impatiently and sat up impatiently, "Why is the holiday only two days? I'm so sleepy, I don't want to get up, I still want to sleep."

Yuzhu took the hot towel from Yuzhen's hand, handed it to the lady and said, "Miss, why don't you wash your face first to wake up, otherwise it will be really late."

Liu Yanyan took the hot towel with a wooden face. After washing her face, she handed the towel to Yuzhen, stood up with her eyes closed, and waited for Yuzhu and Yuzhen to put on her official uniform and boots. Then she twisted her sore neck, squinted her eyes, walked to the dressing table, sat upright on the chair, and waited for Yuzhu to carefully take care of her black hair.

Liu Yanyan looked at the boring hairpin, sighed, put on a white jade hairpin, and then put on the official hat. Looking at herself in the official uniform, she forced herself to wake up and walked out with everyone.

When I arrived at the door, I saw my father's carriage leaving. "Yuzhu, is father going to court today? Why is it so early? Doesn't father usually not get up at this time?"

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Miss, the master is much better now, so of course he has to go to court. The master and his men always go to court very early, even earlier than you go to the government office."

Liu Yanyan nodded, and was helped by Yuzhu to step onto the horse stool, walked into the carriage, and took the food box. "Yuzhu, go back, Liu Wu and Liu Liu can follow."

Yuzhu then waved her hand reluctantly, not understanding why she was not taken away. What was so good about Liu Wu and the others? They were clumsy and could not serve as meticulously as she could.

The carriage swayed along several streets. Liu Yanyan heard a noise outside. She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. She saw the old lady from the former general's mansion kneeling on the side of the road in a disheveled state. Everyone else was whispering around her.

"Who am I, the old lady of the general's mansion? Why am I begging?"

"Isn't this a beggar woman? What old lady?"

"This is the old lady from the General's Mansion. I have seen her several times."

"She's the old lady from the general's mansion, she's so arrogant!"

"That's right! If we get close to each other, they will chase us away. Why are we kneeling here?"

"Who knows!"

"Who knows? Forget it. What if the general finds out we're saying this?"

"Hahaha, where is the general's mansion? The plaque has been taken down and the house has been sold."

"That's right! What are you afraid of?"

"She is now like a phoenix that has lost its feathers. She is even worse than a pheasant."

"How come I don't know this!"

"You are a scholar, you read books every day, what can you know?"

"That's right!"

"The General's Mansion has fallen into decline."

The old lady's eyes were dull, she was emaciated due to hunger, and her lips were cracked. She spoke in shame several times, "Please be kind and have mercy on me. I haven't eaten for several days. I am not an old lady, I am not. I am hungry! Please." As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears.

The people around them started talking, "You are the old lady."

"Where are your sons? Where are your two sons? Can't they support you?"

"That's right! Don't try to deceive us. Let your son support you!"

"That's right! Why would you lie to us?"

"No matter how sad you are, you are better than us!"

“A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a broken ship still has three thousand nails.”

The old lady said pitifully, "I'm hungry, please, just give me something to eat."

"It doesn't look like he's pretending!"

"I think I'm really hungry. How about giving me something to eat?"

At this time, Lin Rou pushed through the crowd and came over. Her neck was covered with pimples. When others saw her face, they subconsciously dispersed.

Lin Rou walked up to the old lady and said, "Aunt, let's go back. How could Brother Beichen not give you food? If you do this, won't people see Brother Beichen as a joke? I'll support you, let's go back! Let's go home."

The old lady was so hungry that she had no strength left in her body. She wanted to struggle but couldn't. She said weakly, "Let me go, I don't want to die, I want to eat, I'm hungry, please." After she said that, her stomach growled, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground, kowtowed with determination.

Seeing this, a woman threw a steamed bread on the ground with a distressed look on her face. “Eat it, eat it. I can’t bear to see these.”

The old lady immediately broke away from Lin Rou who was holding her, grabbed the steamed bread and started to eat it. She stuffed it into her mouth in big mouthfuls as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it from her and almost choked several times.

Lin Rou felt embarrassed and said helplessly, "My aunt is in poor health and has some problems with her brain. I'm sorry to embarrass you, but I'll take her home now." After that, she dragged the old lady out. Even so, the old lady was unwilling to let go of the remaining steamed bread in her hand.

"Is this her niece? She doesn't look like her! Why is she not allowed to eat?"

"I know it clearly! It seems that his son took a concubine and even held a concubine ceremony."

"Why do you treat an old lady like this? Isn't this right?"

"Who knows!"

Liu Yanyan was shocked when she saw this. Wasn't Gu Beichen still a soldier? How could he let his mother kneel on the street and beg? This shouldn't be the case! Wasn't he the most foolishly filial?

Liu Yanyan looked at the time and said, "Let's go. There's nothing to see. If we continue, it will be too late to go to the government office."

Liu Wu said, "Okay, miss." Then he gently tapped the horse's back with the whip, and the horse slowly started to move.

Liu Yanyan leaned against the carriage, her thoughts unconsciously drawn back to the time when the old lady plotted against her dowry, how she made her pregnant and took care of her when she was sick, and how she helped Gu Beichen murder her again and again. Seeing how she lived, an imperceptible sense of pleasure welled up in her heart.

Thinking that he was now an official, he quickly suppressed this emotion and pretended that he had not seen what had just happened. If it were someone else, he might have to intervene, but as for her, he could only refrain from dealing with her personally.

Liu Yanyan quickly adjusted her mood, with a faint smile on her face. After a sway, she steadied her body, lifted the curtain, saw that she had arrived at the yamen, and jumped out of the carriage.

Just as he was about to walk into the yamen, he saw Gu Beichen arguing with a yamen runner at the corner gate of the yamen. He frowned but ignored him and walked straight in with Liu Wu and Liu Liu.

Liu Yanyan came to her room and sat on the chair beside the table. "Liu Wu, go and find out why Gu Beichen came to the government office. Is he here to cause trouble?"

Liu Wu bowed and said, "Okay, Miss. I will go right away and find out everything clearly." After saying that, he turned and left.
