Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Cui Zhu Xuan

Liu Yanyan was reading the secrets her father had given her, when Yuzhu said with a smile, "Miss, Gu Beichen was beaten in the prison for the second time. He was covered in blood and couldn't get out until the beating was over."

Liu Yanyan put down the rice paper in her hand, smiled softly, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes. "Okay, okay! It's really a bargain for him."

Yuzhu was at a loss. She wiped the tears from the young lady and said, "Miss, please don't cry! It's not worth it for such a person, Miss."

Liu Yanyan nodded and said, "It's not for him, but for my past self. I was too stupid before." If I had seen things clearly earlier, I wouldn't have lived such a hard life in my previous life.

Yuzhen also nodded and said nervously, "Miss, don't cry anymore. If you cry too much, your makeup will be ruined."

When Liu Yanyan heard this, she wiped her tears and looked up nervously, "Is it stained?" She hurried to the bronze mirror, looked at her face carefully, picked up the pearl powder and gently patted it on her face, "Don't cry, it's not important, it's not important." It would be better if he died, so that he could go down to accompany his son and not be alone.

With a smile on her lips, she stood up, picked up a velvet flower, pinned it to her temples, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, straightened the shape of the flower and said, "Bring me a pot of fruit wine, I'll have a good drink."

Yuzhen hurried forward and said, "Yes, Miss, I will get it now."

Yuzhu watched Yuzhen retreat, stepped forward to support Liu Yanyan and said, "Miss, I will support you. The lights in this room are not on, please don't fall."

Liu Yanyan nodded, and in a good mood she came to the yard, sat on the stone bench, looked at the sparse stars in the sky and said, "Yuzhu, go get the candlestick, it's too dark outside."

Yuzhu was worried about Liu Yanyan, so she didn't leave. Instead, she instructed the maid Yuye who was on duty outside.

Yuye turned and went into the house, took out a huge pink lotus lantern and almost fell down several times. Yuzhu couldn't bear it, so she went to take it and placed it next to the stone table.

Liu Yanyan looked at the lantern, and a trace of appreciation flashed across Yuye's eyes. She didn't know where the little maid had found it. She didn't remember making this lantern. "Reward."

Yuzhu took out a purse and put it in Yuye's hand.

Yuye was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Miss, for your reward. Thank you, Miss, for your reward."

Liu Yanyan smiled softly and waved her hand to signal her to get up. She quietly felt the night breeze blowing past, and the branches beside her swayed in the wind. When Yuzhen brought a few plates of cakes up, Liu Yanyan picked up a piece and tasted it gently. "It's very sweet."

Yuzhu looked at the young lady in confusion, holding the salt and pepper cake in her hand, lowered her head, and dared not say a word. She just felt that the young lady seemed to be possessed by a demon.

Liu Yanyan picked up the jasper cup, looked at the crystal wine, took a sip, the fragrant peach wine, and sighed, "Good, the wine is fragrant and pleasant, and the fragrance lingers in my mouth."

Yuzhu stood respectfully beside her, put a pink satin cape on Liu Yanyan, and said, "Miss, it's windy, don't catch a cold."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "This cool breeze is very comfortable. How can I catch a cold? I'm happy today, so let me have a good drink."

Yuzhen brought a bowl of warm water and placed the jade pot in the bowl before saying, "It was my fault. I forgot to warm the wine just now. Sister Yuzhu was thoughtful."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "Okay, you two are both good girls, I am the only one being willful, you two should sit down and have some cakes."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen turned pale and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Miss, please punish me."

Liu Yanyan chuckled and helped the two of them up. "You worry too much. You are too restrained." After that, she picked up a plate of plum cakes, handed them to the two of them and said, "Since you don't want to sit down, take it and eat it on the side."

Yuzhu took the cake, bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, Miss."

Yuzhen also said, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, walked back to the stone table gracefully, sat upright on the stone bench, and drank fruit wine casually.

Until her cheeks were covered with blushes, Yuzhu and Yuzhen and the two maids helped her back to her room to rest.

next day

When Liu Yanyan was leaving the house, she saw Gu Beichen's mother standing at the door of the Duke's Mansion. She subconsciously wanted to step back, but then she remembered that she had already divorced Gu Beichen and there was no need for him to consider her. So she stopped abruptly and stepped out.

The old lady was so excited when she saw Liu Yanyan that she shouted, "Liu Yanyan, you little whore, you divorced my son and you still want to harm him. You have such a cruel heart! You have to compensate my son."

Without even turning her head, Liu Yanyan glanced at Butler Liu beside her and said, "Uncle Liu, thank you for your help."

Butler Liu nodded and said, "Miss, you can go shopping. I will take care of this old woman."

Liu Yanyan nodded and got on the carriage. She heard the voice of housekeeper Liu from behind, "Our young lady and your General Gu have long since divorced. Don't pester me anymore. He deserves to be in jail for what he has done."

The old lady shouted, "It must be that bitch Liu Yanyan who harmed him. He was so well behaved, how could he be in prison?"

Butler Liu slapped the old lady in the face. The old lady covered her face with her hands, looking incredulous. "You, you are a servant, how dare you! How dare you! I will make you pay for it."

Several servants beside Butler Liu grabbed the old lady and dragged her away. The maids and old women beside her couldn't stop them.

The old lady was dragged away and still yelled, "You, you slaves, you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power. You will be punished. I am Liu Yanyan's mother-in-law. How dare she treat me like this? She is unfilial! Very unfilial."

The servant couldn't bear to see it and kicked her on the leg, saying viciously, "The county lady has divorced General Gu a long time ago. What kind of mother-in-law are you? Don't come here to try to be related. Get away from me, or I will beat you every time I see you." After saying "Pah", several people left the old lady and walked away.

The old lady was so angry when she saw the servant who used to be servile to her treating her like this that she gnashed her teeth. She was helped up by Nanny Zhao beside her. The sight of the phlegm on her body made her feel so sick that she wanted to vomit.

A look of disgust flashed across the faces of several maids, but Zhao Ma endured the nausea and cleaned up the sputum with a handkerchief, then threw the handkerchief away and helped the old lady walk out.

The old lady was still upset when she saw that she had cleaned up her clothes. She said, "Go to the clothing store and buy a new set of clothes. I am the mistress of a general's mansion. This is too embarrassing."

Nanny Zhao helped the old lady to the old carriage in the distance. After she sat down, she said, "Old lady, let's go back home! The clothes in the clothing shop outside are made of poor fabrics and are not in fashion. How can you get used to wearing them?" She had no money at all. What could she give after buying them? It would be so embarrassing if people knew about it!

The old lady looked at Zhao Ma fiercely and said, "Why, I have so much dowry, why can't I buy it? Where did all the things in the warehouse go?"

Madam Zhao frowned and whispered, "Madam, you have sold the things in the warehouse! Now there are only some worthless things."

The old lady was furious and slapped Madam Zhao on the face. She vented her anger and said, "Okay, let's go back home. When Beichen wakes up, I will be the imperial lady."

Nanny Zhao lowered her head and responded respectfully, but the twisted expression on her face showed her unwillingness.
