Return to the General's Mansion

Aunt Zhao stood at the door and taunted, "You still know how to come back! Didn't you refuse to come back even after repeated requests?"

Liu Yanyan looked at her smug look and led people back to Guiran Residence. Seeing Lin Rou living in it, her face suddenly darkened. If the army had not returned to the capital, I would not have come back.

Lin Rou saw Liu Yanyan, walking towards her in a twisted manner, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I am weak, Beichen feels sorry for me and wants me to stay here temporarily. Sister-in-law, you won't refuse, right?"

Liu Yanyan's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't show it on her face. She just waved her hand and several guards dragged Lin Rou out.

Gu Beichen then hurried out and pulled Lin Rou over distressedly, "Are you okay?"

Lin softly shook her head, "Sister-in-law, she just doesn't like me. I said I came to stay here because I was sick, but she didn't listen and directly asked someone to drag me out."

Gu Beichen pointed at Liu Yanyan with an angry face, stumbling over and saying, "You, you vicious woman, you, Rou'er will be my concubine from now on. What's wrong with me coming to stay with you for two days because I'm sick? Aren't you living well in the Duke's Mansion? Why are you coming back?"

Liu Yanyan slapped his fingers away and said with a look of disgust, "Why should I let her live in my house? I am the legal wife, and she is a concubine who has not even entered the family yet. How dare she live in my room? Who gave her the courage?"

Gu Beichen looked guilty and stuttered, "I, I promised it. Since you won't stay here, why can't you let Rou'er stay for a few days?"

Liu Yanyan signaled Yuzhu and Yuzhen to go into the house to check, and soon they came back.

Yuzhu, Yuzhen came out with a dark face, "Madam, the quilts you left in the room are all crumpled up, and several of your expensive clothes have been worn and are all stained. The gold threads on them have fallen off, and the expensive furniture is all bumped."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were slightly cold, her face expressionless, staring straight at Gu Beichen, "Who will compensate for these losses? These things were specially made for me by my father."

Gu Beichen looked unconvinced and said stumblingly, "Isn't it just money? Just tell me how much I want to compensate you."

Liu Yanyan glanced at Yuzhu, and Yuzhu said, "Madam, this is a conservative estimate of the loss of 5000 taels of silver."

Gu Beichen was dumbfounded when he heard this, his face full of disbelief, "How is this possible? It's impossible. You are lying to me." He spoke more fluently.

Liu Yanyan's eyes were unhappy, but her face was calm, and she had a sense of majesty. "I am the daughter of a noble family, raised in luxury. How can I afford anything cheap? If you don't compensate me, I will sue your Rou'er and put her in jail. These things are enough to put her in jail for life."

When Lin Rou heard this, she burst into tears, "Cousin, wuwuwu, cousin Rouer didn't mean it. I just accidentally touched my things. We are a family, why is my sister-in-law so fussy about it?"

Liu Yanyan was too lazy to watch her performance. She just looked at Gu Beichen's distressed face and said, "You choose, send her to jail or pay her money."

Gu Beichen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay you back, I don't have that much money." Then he took out a few silver notes worth 100 taels.

Yuzhu took it, looked at it and said, "Madam, there is no problem with the banknote, a total of 300 taels."

Liu Yanyan stared at him, "What about the rest?"

Gu Beichen was angry and said stutteringly, "Liu Yanyan, I am your husband and your god. What's wrong with me using some of your money? What are you fussing about? You are not as cute as Rouer at all." After that, he pulled Rouer and was about to leave.

Being blocked by several guards, he turned his head helplessly and said, "You don't care about the relationship between husband and wife, and you insist on calculating the money with me, right? Fine, fine, you are very nice."

Liu Yanyan looked at him and said calmly, "You just don't want to pay. In your heart, is your Rou'er only worth 300 taels? It's really worthless! What's the saying that your husband is your heaven? It's nonsense. My father never taught me."

Gu Beichen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll write you an IOU and pay you back later." He was so rude and had no idea of ​​the three obediences and four virtues.

Yuzhen brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone and handed them to him. He couldn't write with his left hand, so he had no choice but to let Liu Yanyan write it and asked him to put his fingerprint on it.

After Liu Yanyan finished writing the IOU, she nodded and said, "You can go away now, and don't show up in my Guiran Residence anymore." Every blade of grass and every tree belongs to me, why are you destroying them?

When Gu Beichen helped Lin Rou leave, he said unwillingly, "Liu Yanyan, don't even think about making me like you. I will never like you. Just keep your position and live your life alone."

Gu Beichen wanted to say more but was immediately asked to leave by several guards.

Liu Yanyan looked at everything in the room and was furious. What was going on? Fortunately, there was nothing valuable left, otherwise she would be heartbroken! After calming down, she said, "Yuzhu, Yuzhen, pack up all the lost items and send them to the pawnshop. Give the ones that cannot be pawned to beggars."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen nodded, changed the quilt and bedding first, put away the damaged clothes, and lit wintersweet incense in the room.

Yuzhu walked to Liu Yanyan and said, "Madam, please go to the inner room to rest first. Some of the large items outside are broken and need to be replaced. I'm afraid I'll bump into you."

Liu Yanyan nodded, looking at the broken chairs and the missing corners, wondering how they lived in such a mess!

Liu Yanyan put away the IOU, took off her cloak, took off her boots, and lay on the bed. Her body was itchy and uncomfortable. She knew that these were new clothes, but she still felt sick when she thought about what might happen.

At this moment, she hoped very much that her father would come back soon so that she could escape from the general's mansion.

The old lady's yard

Aunt Zhao reported to the old lady, "Old lady, the lady is back."

The old lady smiled disdainfully, "I knew she wouldn't be able to stay in the Duke's Mansion for a few days. She has to come back obediently. How can a married woman go back to her parents' home to live?"

Madam Zhao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Madam, Madam found out that the young master asked Miss Rou'er to live in Guiran Residence and kicked them out."

The old lady nodded and said, "Rou'er has lost her sense of propriety. She directly drove the man out, which shows that she doesn't take me, her mother-in-law, seriously. Humph, wait until my son gets better, and then I will teach her a lesson and let her know who is the mother."

Aunt Zhao said, "If you don't teach her a lesson now, she won't take you seriously at all."

The old lady shook her head, a helpless expression on her face, "I do think that Beichen is in poor health now, and Beiming has failed the exam several times, so she can only rely on the Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, I can't let her be so arrogant. Don't worry, there is a long time to come. There is plenty of time and opportunity to deal with her. I guarantee that she will be obedient in the future."

Nanny Zhao agreed and said, "Madam, you are the one who has the solution. You have considered the long-term. It is indeed not advisable to offend the Madam now." The mansion still has to rely on the Madam!
