Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

next day

As soon as Liu Yanyan got up, she heard Aunt Zhao's voice from outside the door, asking Yuzhu and Yuzhen to help her wash up, put on her clothes, put on a light blue cloak, and take a hot water bottle before she went out.

Liu Yanyan's face was clearly unhappy. "Madam Zhao, why are you here making a fuss so early in the morning?"

Madam Zhao lowered her head, her face full of disdain and curled her lips, "Madam, the second young master is back. The old lady invites you to come over for dinner."

"Okay, let's go now." Is it necessary to mobilize so many people just to go back home?

In the old lady's yard, the smile on her face faded as soon as she saw Liu Yanyan enter the house. "Why are you here so late? Don't you know your uncle is coming home today?"

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly and apologized, "Yes, it's me as your sister-in-law who is late. My uncle is coming back from the academy, and I should be at the gate of the general's mansion to greet him."

Gu Beiming felt awkward and stood up. "Sister-in-law, you are worrying too much. I should go to greet you. How can I ask my sister-in-law to go out to greet you?" The elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I asked my sister-in-law to pick me up when I came back from the academy. I don't know how many jokes I will add! People will point fingers at me. He looked at his mother with dissatisfaction.

The old lady also knew that this was inappropriate, and she said it in a moment of anger, holding up the teacup to hide her embarrassment.

Liu Yanyan looked at Gu Beiming and said, "Come back for a few days this time! Spend more time with the old lady. She misses you very much."

Gu Beiming nodded and said, "I will spend more time with my mother in the next two days."

At this time, Nanny Zhao brought people and started serving the dishes.

3 bowls of rice, a plate of pickles, a plate of tofu, and a handful of yellow green vegetables.

Gu Beiming looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but frowning. He looked at the old lady with complaints in her eyes, "Mom, is this what I'm going to eat when I get home? Is this for human consumption?"

The old lady looked at Liu Yanyan complainingly, "It's because you have no money, otherwise you definitely can't eat this!"

Gu Beiming looked incredulous and said, "Isn't my sister-in-law very rich? How could she be without money?" Only then did he realize that he had let the cat out of the bag and kept silent.

Liu Yanyan's eyes were complicated. This family was full of rotten things, rotten heartless things. "Bei Ming, what did you say? You want to use my dowry? My mother-in-law has always been the housekeeper at home. It's not good for me to take over. Besides, the cash in my dowry has been used up and can't be used to make up for it."

When Gu Beiming heard this, his face turned red. He ate the food in the bowl bite by bite, but he couldn't swallow it and his face was bitter.

Liu Yanyan pretended not to notice the two people's predicament. It was because she had provided them too well that they became pampered. The food now was much better than their family's before, and they could even choose.

Everyone was very unhappy during the meal. After the meal, Liu Yanyan ignored the complaints in the old lady's eyes and went straight back to her Guiran Residence.

After finishing his meal, Gu Beiming looked depressed and said, "Mom, I'm going back to my study first."

The old lady knew that he was unhappy, so she didn't keep him talking and waved her hand for him to leave.

Gu Beiming came to his study and saw the things on the table from afar, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As long as these things were not missing, it would be fine. If the food was a little worse, people in the academy would not see it. He was in a good mood until he got closer and saw the low-quality pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. His face suddenly fell.

This one is rough, the ink will spread when you drop it, how can you write with it, the brush is split, it is cheap and shoddy, how can you show it off! If you bring it to the academy, you will be laughed at to death. He doesn't plan to take the brush and ink with him, but he has to take the paper, so he can only take the things and walk into the old lady's yard.

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Beiming sat on the chair and thought for a while before speaking, "Mother, what's going on? These things are of no use at all in the academy."

The old lady looked at it and could only sigh, "There is no money at home, so this is all we can give. I am sorry that you have been wronged."

Gu Beiming was puzzled. "The pens, inks, paper and inkstones we used before were all top-quality. Our family is not that poor. We can't even afford the better ones! I wonder how many people will laugh at our general's mansion if we use these."

The old lady could only confess, "Your sister-in-law paid for everything before. She used her dowry to subsidize the family's food, clothing and other expenses. I don't know what happened these days. She is very stingy and is unwilling to pay for anything."

Gu Beiming was surprised. He knew something about it, but he didn't know that it was all subsidized by his sister-in-law. His face turned red and he said, "What should I do?" If his sister-in-law was unwilling to subsidize him, he would be looked down upon in the academy.

The old lady looked at his expression and sighed helplessly. Liu Yanyan was unwilling to pay, and her father gave her several guards, so she couldn't force her. "Be patient, wait for your brother to come back, she will definitely try to please us in order to win your brother's heart."

Gu Beiming nodded and said, "This is the only way. I can't let people know that I'm using my sister-in-law's dowry." He walked towards his yard holding the things he despised, with a look of indignation on his face. His servant followed behind him and almost fell down several times.

When he returned to the study, he threw the things in his hand on the table. Seeing this, the book boy hurriedly sorted them out and said, "Master, I will put these in the book basket first, so as not to forget to take them."

Gu Beiming waved his hand nonchalantly, "You decide, it's up to you. It doesn't matter whether you take these embarrassing things or not." He turned around and took out two hundred taels of silver from a box and put it in his arms. Fortunately, he didn't spend all the money his sister-in-law had given him. He carefully put the box away and looked at the paper in the book boy's hand with disdain. He turned around and went out to drink.

Liu Yanyan heard Yuzhu report, "Madam, the second young master took the money and went out."

Liu Yanyan nodded, her eyes unchanged, "Go, he won't be so carefree for long." She put down the teacup in her hand, this guy is not a good person either.

Just then, a pigeon flew to the windowsill. She stood up, caught the pigeon, took the secret letter under her feet, unfolded it, and saw the handwriting of the adjutant. Gu Beichen was out of trouble but still unconscious, and had to return to Beijing early, so she asked Liu Yanyan to prepare as soon as possible.

Liu Yanyan burned the secret letter in her hand and gave the pigeon to Yuzhu to take away. When Yuzhu left, she was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off. "This bastard is so tough that he can't die. It's good that he came back early. He can't get the military merit. I don't know where he is now. Coming back in this heavy snow, even a good person will lose half his life."

After finally calming down, I looked at the snow outside, thought of his heartless voice, and my dead son. I felt as if I were soaked in ice water, freezing cold. I was afraid that he would come back and that my suppressed hatred would be discovered.

He picked up the teapot on the table and drank tea in big gulps, only then did his surging hatred gradually subside.

When Yuzhu came back, she saw Liu Yanyan sitting upright on a chair, with the window open and admiring the snow scene outside.

Yuzhu walked over and said with concern, "Madam, would you like me to close the window? It's cold in this weather, so as not to catch a cold."

Liu Yanyan said expressionlessly, "No, I want to see the snow. I will close the window by myself in a moment."

"Okay, ma'am." After saying that, he brought the hot water bottle and placed it in Liu Yanyan's hand.

Liu Yanyan took it and quietly looked at the snow outside.
