Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion at night

Gu Beichen was sneaking around, hiding behind a stone lion in the corner. He was furious when he thought of Liu Yanyan carrying away the remaining dowry. By doing this, wasn't she just throwing her face on the ground and stepping on it? Everyone in the city was talking about how he bullied her. It was obviously her who bullied Rouer.

Gu Beichen walked around the Duke's Mansion, shivering with cold. Not finding any tree, he fetched a few bamboo baskets, climbed up on them, and climbed in. Just as he stood on the top of the wall, he was shot in the hair by an arrow and fell down.

Gu Beichen looked at the arrow on his head and ran away dejectedly. It would be so embarrassing if he was caught!

Butler Liu hurriedly led his men to chase after him and found a jade hair crown. Butler Liu reached out and picked it up, his eyes became cold. This was originally ordered by the young lady to be given to that guy. It seems that he was the one who found him and tried to break in in the middle of the night. I'm afraid he didn't want to apologize. "Strengthen patrols, and don't let anyone sneak into the Duke's Mansion."

The guards beside him all responded in unison, "Yes, Steward Liu."

next day

Liu Yanyan was wearing a purple dress with a skirt of the same color embroidered with lifelike butterflies in gold thread. She had her hair tied up in a bun and wore a lavender hairpin.

Yuzhen walked in and said, "Madam, Butler Liu wants to see you."

Liu Yanyan put down the gold-inlaid jade comb in her hand and said, "Please let in, Butler Liu." Yuzhen turned and went out. Yuzhu helped her walk to the outer room and sat upright on the pearwood chair.

After paying his respects, Butler Liu said, "Miss, last night General Gu tried to climb over the wall, but was shot by an arrow by a patrolling guard and fell down. When we chased him out, we only saw the hair crown on the ground." Then he handed the hair crown to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu took it and looked at it, and immediately became angry, "Madam, how could this general be like this? Did he climb over the wall in the middle of the night to harm the young lady, or to bring an army to punish him?"

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and said, "Put it in a wooden box. This hair crown is made by a famous master. He is not lucky enough to wear it."

Yuzhu nodded “yes” and turned around to take the hair crown and put it in the small wooden box under the dressing table.

Liu Yanyan said at this time, "Housekeeper Liu, increase patrols in the mansion. No one from outside the mansion is allowed to enter, and no one from the general's mansion is allowed in."

Butler Liu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, Miss, I will make sure that no outsider can enter the mansion." It's good that the young lady is back. The general's mansion is a trap.

At this time, a servant came to report, "Miss, Miss, the son-in-law is waiting at the door and said he is here to visit."

Liu Yanyan said with annoyance, "Uncle Liu, please send him away. I don't want to see him."

Butler Liu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Miss, I will go and chase him away right away." After saying that, he walked out in a hurry.

The gate of the Duke's Mansion

Gu Beichen looked arrogant, raised his head high, and looked at the servant next to him with disdain, "You, you, you will have to kneel down and welcome me in later."

When Butler Liu came out, he saw Gu Beichen like this, his eyes full of disdain, and he stepped forward and said, "Gu Chengling, go back, our young lady doesn't want to see you."

When Gu Beichen heard this, his expression cracked and he said in disbelief, "What, what, you said Liu Yanyan didn't see me? How is that possible? I'm her husband! How dare she do that!"

Housekeeper Liu was so angry that Hong Wen said, "General Gu, have you forgotten that our young lady married down to a lower class? At that time, you knelt down and begged the Duke to marry the young lady to you. How can you have the nerve to ask our young lady to sell her dowry to take a concubine for you? Where is your face?"

When the people in the distance heard this, their eyes lit up and they whispered, "General Gu is so shameless."

"That's right! Let his wife sell her dowry so that he can take a concubine."

"That's right! Didn't his wife sell her dowry to treat his illness? Why is she selling her dowry again? How ungrateful!"

"How ungrateful!"

"Shameless!"

"How dare you treat others like this!"

"It's because the Duke has gone to provide disaster relief. Otherwise, how would he dare to do that?"

"It's just bullying because the father is not at home."

“So shameless”

"Too deceiving."

"How disgraceful! And you are still a general!"

"How can I expect him to be loyal to his wife when he treats her like this?"

"That's it."

Gu Beichen listened to the increasingly loud discussions around him, his face getting darker and darker, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If Liu Yanyan doesn't come out today, I will divorce her and make her get out."

Housekeeper Liu said sternly, "It is not your turn to divorce our young lady. Don't forget that our young lady married a lower class lady and your life was saved by her. If anyone wants to divorce, it should be our young lady who should divorce you."

There was a burst of laughter from all around. "It's not that easy to climb a high branch! Look, look."

"That's right! If you want to climb a high branch, you have to be humble and humble. You're divorcing her, don't you even look at your own weight?"

“It’s a joke.”

When Gu Beichen heard this, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. "Okay, okay, Liu Yanyan is fine. She is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, I can't afford her. If you have the ability, never return to the General's Mansion for the rest of your life." After saying that, he jumped on his horse and rode away in shame.

This caused a burst of laughter from the people behind.

Butler Liu clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you all for speaking up for justice. Otherwise, our young lady would have been humiliated by General Gu!"

"Butler Liu, you're too polite. We are just talking."

"That's right! You're so polite."

Butler Liu waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please stay. The kitchen has prepared some snacks for you."

After saying this, a few servants came out carrying two baskets of big white steamed buns and began to distribute them, two per person.

When everyone saw the big white bun, they couldn't take their eyes off it. "The Duke's Mansion is so generous!"

"That's right! I'll give you this white steamed bun as soon as you ask me to."

"Yes! I have never eaten such white steamed buns!"

"That's right!"

Butler Liu bowed once more before turning around and leaving.

There was a constant hustle and bustle outside until all the large baskets of steamed buns were sold out and people dispersed.

Gu Beichen came to the government office and patrolled the streets with a few lazy yamen runners. From time to time, he could hear people whispering, "That's him, that's him."

"You look like a decent person, how dare you do that!"

"Don't judge a person by his appearance. I'm done with it. I won't say anything more."

Gu Beichen was furious and his teeth were itching with hatred. When he walked over, the other person shut up and he couldn't say anything. His face was gloomy all day.

When they returned to the General's Mansion, Lin Rou came up to him and acted like a spoiled child, "Cousin, you're finally back. I missed you so much! Why are you unhappy? Don't you miss me?"

Gu Beichen rubbed his face when he heard Rou'er's words, and said gently, "No, I'm just too tired from patrolling today, don't worry."

Lin Rou gently rubbed Gu Beichen's shoulders and said, "Cousin, who are we going to invite to our wedding? We can't have it be a lonely one."

Gu Beichen now ignored his mother's cold face and the discussions outside, looked at Rou'er's pretty face, and said, "No, how could I let you down! I will definitely make you glorious."

Rou'er nodded and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, cousin, you are the best."

The two walked hand in hand into the study. Gu Beichen hesitated for a long time, but finally sent invitations to all his brothers in the army.
