Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

After passing through several long corridors and several rockery, we finally returned to Guiranju.

Yuzhu deftly untied the lady's cloak, took off her deerskin boots and put them away, brought out soft embroidered shoes for the lady to put on, and then helped her walk inside.

Liu Yanyan looked down at Yuzhu and was very satisfied. Seeing Yuzhen put the wintersweet on the table, she also became interested and said, "Yuzhen, go get a blue and white porcelain long-necked vase. I want to put flowers in it." It would be a pity not to put the wintersweet in it.

Yuzhen retreated respectfully.

Yuzhu went to the side and brought a new hot water bottle and scissors. "Madam, please warm yourself up. Don't catch a cold."

Liu Yanyan took the hot water bottle.

Yuzhu placed the scissors next to the table, not too far from the lady.

Liu Yanyan waited until her hands warmed up before putting down the hot water bottle, picking up the scissors and starting to trim the wintersweets. After trimming a branch of wintersweets, she placed it on the table and admired it quietly.

This is Yuzhen holding a blue and white porcelain long-necked vase, "Madam, where should I put this vase?"

Liu Yanyan stood up, put the cut flowers into the vase and "put it on the table next to the window."

Yuzhen nodded and walked to the side holding the vase. Seeing her reckless behavior, Yuzhu could not help but frown and remind her, "Be careful, this vase costs several hundred taels."

Yuzhen nodded and hugged the vase tighter. "Thank you, sister for reminding me."

Yuzhu watched her carefully before turning around and going out, asking the little maid to go to the small kitchen to urge the dishes, "How can this lady eat so early in the morning? The people in the small kitchen don't know how to be more diligent."

Liu Yanyan waited quietly, and after dinner she took everyone out of the house.

The old lady's yard

Madam Zhao stood by and reported, "Madam, the Madam has taken everyone out of the house. Do you want someone to follow her?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "No, he must have gone to find Tianshan Snow Lotus for Beichen. You don't need to follow him. Just ask someone to take good care of Beichen."

Aunt Zhao complained in her heart that the old lady was really stingy and didn't even care about her own son. But she still said, "Yes, old lady, I will arrange more people to take care of the young master."

The old lady nodded, always feeling dizzy and without any energy.

Seeing that the old lady was in low spirits, Nanny Zhao covered her with a quilt before turning around and leaving.

Liu Yanyan was sitting in the carriage, thinking of how sneaky Zhao Ma was just now, and couldn't help but chuckle. She was really the old lady's lackey.

Hearing the noisy sounds on the street, she couldn't help but lift a corner of the curtain, revealing her beautiful little face looking out. A ray of sunlight sprinkled down, coating her whole body with a layer of golden light, making her as stunningly beautiful as a fairy from the mortal world.

Upstairs, the Regent Zhou Yanze picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His eyes were deep and fixed as he stared at the absolutely beautiful woman in the carriage, unable to take his eyes off her.

Liu Yanyan felt the burning gazes and looked up to see that it was the Regent who was staring at her. Her face turned red immediately and she lowered the curtain to block the view from upstairs. She touched her hot cheeks and felt secretly annoyed that she was so disappointing that she blushed at just one look.

Zhou Yanze couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Liu Yanyan hurriedly lower the curtain.

The guard next to him couldn't help but shudder when he saw his master laughing. Why would his cold master laugh? Was someone going to be in trouble?

Zhuangyuan Building

Liu Yanyan was quietly drinking tea in the No. 1 private room upstairs.

I heard a commotion coming from outside, and it sounded like Gu Beiming was saying, "Why should I pay the bill? This is my sister-in-law's shop. I'm just giving her face by eating here." After saying that, he was about to leave the restaurant with several of his classmates.

The waiter couldn't stop him, so he could only follow him downstairs. Once he got downstairs, he shouted, "Boss, these gentlemen are trying to dine for free."

Several of Gu Beiming's classmates stood behind him, looking nervous. Zhuangyuan Building was not cheap, so they were not asked to pay for it, right?

Gu Beiming stood calmly, his hands clenched into fists.

Shopkeeper Wang approached with a fake smile on his face and said, "Gentlemen, our shop is small and we do not accept credit. Who would like to pay the bill?"

Several people looked at Gu Beiming at the same time. Gu Beiming blushed and said with shame and anger, "Do you know who I am? You dare to ask me to pay the bill? Believe it or not, I will let my sister-in-law replace you."

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the angry Gu Beiming and said, "Sir, our shop is small, everyone has to pay. Otherwise, if everyone wants to eat for free, we won't be able to open our Zhuangyuanlou."

Gu Beiming was furious. "I am the second young master of the General's Mansion, Gu Beiming, and your young lady's brother-in-law. You took my money, don't you want to live a better life?"

Shopkeeper Wang stroked his beard, looking frightened. "This is really a case of not knowing the value of a piece of gold and jade. One's own people don't recognize one's own family. Please go back first. I will have someone send the bill to the General's Mansion. I'm sure the General's Mansion will definitely not deny it."

Gu Beiming tried to stop them, touched his shriveled purse, suppressed his anger, and left Zhuangyuan Building in disgrace with a few people.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the few people and spitted at them fiercely. The Zhuangyuan Building was the property of the Duke's Mansion. Even if it was given to the young lady, it was her dowry. Why did they come here to beg for money? They were scholars and had no shame at all.

He turned back to the counter, picked up the brush, and wrote down Gu Beiming's spending today, and asked the servant to walk towards the general's mansion with the bill.

When Liu Yanyan heard Yuzhu's report, she couldn't help but chuckle, "You deserve it, they are really a family of leeches, trying to take advantage of everything. Now that he has lost face, how can he stay in the academy when he returns?"

Yuzhu was very worried and said, "Madam, aren't you afraid that the old lady will scold you? If this young master goes back and complains, won't the old lady punish you?"

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "My father gave me this Zhuangyuan Building privately, and it was not on the dowry list. If he dares to complain, I will make him lose face."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Madam, just keep it in mind."

Yuzhen also agreed, "Madam is so capable." If Madam had been so capable in the past, she wouldn't have been always being taken advantage of by them. So many things in the yard had been stolen.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Yuzhen went to open the door and saw that it was Shopkeeper Wang. She stepped aside to let Shopkeeper Wang in.

Shopkeeper Wang bowed respectfully and said, "Miss, do you really not need to worry about the second young master? Will the old lady do anything bad to you?"

Liu Yanyan raised her eyes, her eyes firm, "Don't worry about it. From now on, when people from the General's Mansion come, don't worry about it. You can't pay less than a penny."

Shopkeeper Wang looked worried, but he was very happy in his heart. The young lady finally stood up and said, "Yes, young lady, I know what to do."

Liu Yanyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly, "It's good to know, don't pay attention to them."

Shopkeeper Wang withdrew respectfully and asked his servants to bring a table of signature dishes to the table.

Liu Yanyan looked at the table full of delicious food, took a few bites, and then asked Yuzhu and Yuzhen to take the food to the table aside to eat, as she really couldn't eat that much.

Liu Yanyan looked at the snow scene outside and couldn't help but wonder where she would go after the divorce. It would be great if she could take her father with her to travel around the mountains and rivers. However, her father still had the position of Duke, so he couldn't just leave whenever he wanted!
