General left me and led his troops to fight on the day of the wedding
After three months, he suddenly brought back a pregnant woman and said he wanted to marry her as his wife and demoted me to a fair wife...
1
at the time, September was approaching, and the locust flowers outside the yard had just faded. As the autumn wind hit, the locust branches swayed, and it seemed that there was still fragrance left.
After a while, the sun sets in the west, and the warm sunlight hits the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. I sat in the house and dialed the abacus fluently. I calculated the income of the grain and oil shop the month before. Mei Xiang, the dowry maid, suddenly hurried into the yard gate, rushed into the house, panting and holding her waist, saying, "Miss... Miss... The big thing is wrong, the general is back..."
"I'm back, what's wrong?" I didn't raise my head, and looked at the accounts, and responded calmly.
"General... brought back a woman, who is four or five months pregnant, and was discussing with the old lady in the front hall to marry her as her wife."
年官网站 that day, the general went to war. I waited for March to return, but there was a pregnant woman following her, and I couldn't help but skip a beat, and my thoughts to settle the score suddenly broke. My mind couldn't help but get blank. It was not because I was so affectionate about my husband Mu Annian, but I never expected that in order not to admit my marriage with me, he would do this.
I married into the Baoding Marquis Mansion and became the nominal Mrs. Baoding Marquis for more than three years.
At the beginning, the day before the marriage, Mu Annian led his troops to the battle on purpose, left me and the rooster to finish the marriage.
In the past three years, he has not had a letter to me, so naturally I didn’t know that he would come back today and bring a pregnant woman.
Sixteen years ago, Mu Annian's father, the old Marquis of Baoding, was not yet granted the title of Marquis. When fighting abroad, the war was tight and the food and salary was short. It was because my father Shangguan Yi who thought about his friendship and ran up and down to persuade the cabinet and the emperor to raise food and salary for him personally, so that he could overcome the crisis of the war and finally allowed him to be a Marquis.
It is precisely because of this that the two families decided to marry dolls and agreed that after I went to school, I would marry my family.
However, just a few years ago, my father was demoted to three levels for the sake of the incident and demoted to an official outside the capital, and his family declined. In addition, the old marquis of Baoding have passed away, so the Mu family does not want to admit the marriage, especially the old lady of the Mu family, who wants to marry a powerful daughter in the capital as her daughter-in-law, so that she can be united with strength and faced when it is spread.
In the past three years, although I have lived in the Marquis Mansion of Baoding, I have not received any silver from their Mu family for half a month, and I have lived all my dowry.
In order not to lose my life, I opened a grain and oil shop with part of my dowry. After three years of operation, my income is still acceptable, at least enough to deal with various expenses, especially when facing the banquets and small gatherings held by some noble ladies in Beijing, I still have the decentness of being the wife of Baoding Hou.
A year ago, Mu Annian was in a tight war in front of him, but I was still running around to manage the food and money he raised, asking people to raise funds everywhere. His short-sighted and snobbish mother may not be able to help. Now, he actually wants to marry another wife? Where exactly do you want to put me?
The officials and women in the capital all know that I am the wife of the Marquis of Baoding!
"Young lady, the general has returned to the mansion. The old lady calls you to the front hall to discuss matters."
The maid next to the old lady of the Mu family suddenly came in and passed the message and asked me to go to the front hall to discuss matters.
"Miss..." Mei Xiang was nervous and wanted to speak but stopped.
is not someone I really want to meet. I don’t even bother paying attention to dressing up. I just stood up calmly, walked out around the desk, and went to the front hall to deal with everything.
The front hall of the Hou Mansion, before I entered the door, I heard the old lady's happy laughter and another silver bell-like laughter. It seemed that even when I first met, I got along very well and was very satisfied. It was not like I looked horizontally and looked vertically and didn't like me, and even she disliked me as a mother.
"Old lady, are you looking for me?"
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a beautiful woman in blue clothes sitting in front of the old lady's left, smiling so hard that she was trembling. Mu Annian was sitting on the right side of his mother, sitting side by side across the table, and his younger brothers and sisters were also there, sitting opposite the woman.
thought about it, and I still saluted and greeted, "General, I wish you a blessing."
He was wearing military uniform, with cold and handsome eyes. When he hit himself, he looked at me with his eyes straight in his eyes, as if he seemed a little surprised, but he did not respond to anything.
The old lady was arrogant and eager to speak first, "Qinglan, this is Gao Yingying, the lord of Jianan County. Annian is about to marry her into the mansion as her wife. From now on, you will be a young man and you will be divided into equal wife ..."
"Hmph!" Hearing the end, I couldn't help but sneer. Isn't this obviously bullying my mother's official low-powered official, and if you want to step on it?
is demoted to a fair wife. After all, I am not a concubine. After all, I, Shangguan Qinglan, is also the legitimate daughter of the fifth-rank official family. How could I be a concubine and serve a husband with others?
Just thinking about it will make you feel filthy. How can you tolerate it? Spend the rest of your life together.
"Rareless! Why are you laughing?" The old lady couldn't help but scold me immediately when she heard me sneering.
"No need, I got married to the rooster three years ago, and my marriage is not counted. I will move out of the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow. If you are anxious, I can move out immediately. My Shangguan Qinglan vows not to be a concubine, that is, I will not disturb you."
As soon as I said, Mu Annian and his mother's faces were extremely ugly, and her sister Mu Anning directly despised her. He said, "You are a little daughter of a fifth-rank official. You are already a compliment to your brother as a concubine. Don't be ungrateful."
things are already like this, and I have nothing to be afraid of. He directly retorted: "Since that's the case, I wish you can marry into a concubine in the future and serve a husband with others, and your life will be harmonious and smooth."
"You..." Mu Anning was speechless in anger.
"As a woman, she is smart, willful, and has no morals. Be careful that my son will give you a break immediately!" The old lady directly accused and warned.
As a beneficiary, Gao Yingying naturally didn't say anything, just sat quietly and watched the fun.
"If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first." After
said that, I turned around and left the front hall, not staying for a moment, and endured the bad things.

"Miss, what should I do? Do you really want to move out of the Hou Mansion?"
returned to the west courtyard where I lived. As soon as I entered the courtyard, Mei Xiang couldn't help asking urgently.
"Or why should I stay?" I was a little angry and said, "In order to gain a good reputation, they have demoted me to a fair wife this time, and next time they are very likely to expel me from the house. Since that's the case, why should I stay idly and wait for people to rush..."
As soon as I entered the house, I started to pack up my belongings, "If I leave, it will be not all that will be reported when it is spreading." I have no face, but I want to see how his Mu family keeps his face in the capital... pack their luggage quickly."
Mei Xiang started to do it and packed her luggage together, "But Miss, when we move out of the Hou Mansion, where are we going to live? But when we want to go back to Shangguan's house?"
I was immediately asked by Mei Xiang, yes, where can we live?
My father is not an official in the capital, but my brother is still there and my mother is there, but I cannot return to the Shangguan family, and I cannot let them follow me and be criticized by others. The only way is to find a house to live in another place.
Think about the money you have accumulated over the years, and it is still OK to buy a small house. Fortunately, I didn’t sit in the vain at the beginning, so I just settled down in the back house all day, otherwise I would be even more embarrassed today.
However, before Mei Xiang and I packed our luggage and my dowry, there were soldiers guarding them with knives at the entrance of the courtyard. I don’t know if it was ordered by Mu Annian or the old lady.
was under house arrest and could not leave, and no one sent him or asked him to eat in the dining room for dinner. It seemed that he wanted to starve me to death in the back house and would not let me go out of the house, which would damage their Mu family's face.
Nearly noon the next day, I didn’t eat dinner the night before and breakfast. I was so hungry that I sat upstairs in the pavilion, staring at the osmanthus tree and trying to leave.
Suddenly, Gao Yingying walked into the yard with her pregnant belly and walked straight towards the pavilion. She said arrogantly: "The reason why the general can return with great victory is half of the credit of my father. He will use military merits to ask Your Majesty to marry. The county lord will become the wife of the marquis's mansion with dignity. You, the county lord, don't care yet, why do you make the general embarrassed? Let the Mu family make it difficult?"
is the daughter of a county prince. I don't know how many generations of the royal family have been, so I pretended to speak. He acted like the emperor and queen daughters in the imperial palace in the capital, but his accent didn't look very similar. He just walked into the city and tried his best to hide his accent. This made me laugh, "Since that's the case, how about you let me leave the Marquis' Mansion? In this way, you will be much more purified."
"You know that you have an imperial decree. If it is spread, how will the general and me behave?"
is really a beast standing in the archway. He thinks he is self-righteous and has to take up all his reputation.
"Your child is almost unable to hide it. When will you hold a wedding ceremony?" I asked helplessly.
"The eighth day of this month." Gao Yingying said happily and proudly.
"How will I deal with me later?"
"In this marquis' mansion, as long as you are calm and obedient, the general and I don't mind supporting you more idle people." Gao Yingying said meaningfully.
Today is the third year of the Chinese New Year, and there are still five days left. After the wedding gift, I am afraid I will face several ways of disappearing, either to house arrest or starve to death, or to slander my reputation or expel it from the mansion, or to send it to the Mu family’s hometown or the nun to be a nun. It is definitely impossible for me to be able to live well, just Gao Yingying in front of me was the first to be able to tolerate me.
In the evening, Mu Annian received the reward in the palace and returned from the celebration banquet. He came to my yard with a little drunk and brought a lot of gifts. He sat in front of me and said, "As long as you stay in the mansion peacefully, I promise that there is no difference between your food, clothing and expenses and your wife, and you can even be above her."
Do I want me to live a widow for the rest of my life and be a mascot?
I sneered helplessly and asked, "What if I don't agree?"
"You can only agree!" Mu Annian warned with a gloomy face.
"Will I die young?"
"..." Mu Annian was silent and did not answer.
"You go, I have decided, there is no need to talk about it."
"I can let your father return to the capital to become an official, or even restore his position and then enter the cabinet."
This condition is indeed very attractive, but I don't want to trade. My father stays away from the power struggle in the capital, can be a calm official, and enjoy his old age is also good.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Mu Annian directly warned: "On the contrary, I can also let your brother lose his official position, exiled the whole family, or even beheaded the whole family, how about it?"
With his arrogant personality and holding military power, the entire Baoding Marquis' Mansion must not exist for a long time. In addition to Gao Yingying's mother's power, he will definitely be afraid of the emperor. The whole family may be killed. It is better to escape early and save his life in the future.
"You'd better consider it clearly, don't give me a toast and not eat a penalty for wine!"
Seeing that I still didn't say anything, Mu Annian stood up angrily to warn, and then turned around and left angrily.
I was not willing to be outdone, so I let him despise him, thinking that I was easy to grasp, so I directly picked up all the gifts and threw them out the door, and closed the door heavily.
However, it suddenly angered Mu Annian. He kicked the door and rushed in quickly, strangled my neck and lifted me up. It was like lifting a rabbit, gritting his teeth, and warned fiercely: "Shangguan Qinglan, don't challenge the bottom line of this general. If I want to kill you, there are hundreds of ways to make you disappear with justification. Do you hear it clearly?"
I felt that my neck bones were almost pinched, and my breath was soon unable to breathe, so I could only open my mouth and long for the breath entrance. Mei Xiang was extremely frightened and hurriedly knelt down and begged, "General, please, let me go, Miss. Miss knows that she is wrong, and she will definitely change it, General..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Maybe seeing that I was almost out of reach, Mu Annian suddenly let me go, which made me stagger and unsteadily stand. I fell to the ground dizzy, coughed suddenly, gasped in big mouthfuls, and inhaled fresh air.
"Miss, Miss, is it okay?" Mei Xiang shouted nervously.
Mu Annian bent her knees and squatted in front of me, lifted my chin, gritted her teeth and said, "As a woman, you should have the attitude and duty of being a woman. Everyone knows what you are. I can't tolerate a woman who is both ignorant and disobedient."
I looked cold and disgusted, and I didn't say anything. Then Mu Annian felt bored and had no choice but to leave with a gloomy face.

A few days later, the Baoding Hou Mansion grandly held a grand ceremony to marry the new wife. The powerful and wealthy people in the capital took the opportunity to come and win over the relationship, making the wedding ceremony and wedding banquet just a small witch compared to the scene of marrying me in three years ago. It can be called a scene of taking a concubine.
In the evening, taking advantage of the twilight, there were many guests and the staff were complicated. I disguised myself as a servant, packed up some valuables and got all the silver notes, and then worked with Mei Xiang inside and outside, climbed the wall and walked out of the west courtyard, then mixed into the guest servants, and fled from the Hou's Mansion together. After
was able to leave the Hou Mansion, Mei Xiang and I planned to go to the grain and oil shop for one night and make further plans tomorrow.
However, when I arrived at the grain and oil shop, I realized that the shop had been sealed for a long time, and the seal on the seal was stamped by the Marquis of Baoding, so it was naturally what Mu Annian sent to others.
When I think of the fact that there is still a lot of grain stored in the shop warehouse, it is all silver, so I can't help but feel a little regretful.
But there was no way, Mei Xiang and I had to go back to Shangguan’s house and ask my brother Shangguan Hongxi for help.
When I got home on the night, my mother and my brother heard the whole story, and my mother couldn't help crying and complained sadly: "Lan'er, what should you do in the future? The so-called "marrying chickens and following the chickens, marrying dogs and following the dogs. If you make such a fuss, your life will be ruined. How to be a human being in the future? How to find a good home?"
I heard it in my ears, and I felt dissatisfied and retorted directly: "I don't care. I don't want to accept my fate. I'll waste my whole life in his Mu family. I would rather marry a poor scholar, live a plain life, marry a farmer, go to the countryside to farm, or marry a merchant, sit in the street to do business, than wait for the Baoding Marquis Mansion, and be a small desolate person. Look at the face of the Jianan County Lord, live a life. In the past three years, you have no idea that I am in Baoding. How did the Marquis’ Mansion go through? The old lady looked down on me at all, and even the servants didn’t respect me. Now there is another county lord of Jianan. If you want me to be a concubine, it would be better to let me die directly. "
My mother couldn’t help crying even more sadly after hearing this, but my brother said helplessly: "The Marquis of Baoding is now a popular man in front of the imperial court and cannot offend him. No matter whether he requested marriage in front of the imperial court, It is still claimed to the public that you are voluntarily young and willing to be a fair wife. Now that you escaped from the Marquis’ Mansion in this way, it makes him unable to bear the face, and the lord of Jianan County will be criticized. How can he be willing to forgive you easily? "
" Can I just accept my fate? I have to endure being bullied by others to protect others?" I felt extremely uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but cry in my eyes, and I asked helplessly, "I can't do it.""
" If your father was still a second-rank official, you would not have been bullied so much! "My mother sighed helplessly.
My brother thought about it and suddenly said, "How about you go to Chu Prince's Mansion to stay for a few days, and wait until you have the opportunity, and then ask Your Majesty for your gratitude and separation, and give you your freedom? "
When my elder brother was young, he was a prince's companion. He had a good relationship with all the princes in the court, especially the fifth prince of the emperor, Gao Ze, the king of Chu. As for the current situation, I could only find a big tree to protect him and hide before talking about it. Otherwise, it would cause others to be implicated innocently, and even be guilty and killed.
So Mei Xiang and I followed our brother to go to the Chu Palace to hide overnight Mu Annian.
The next afternoon, in the pavilion of the backyard of the King of Chu's Mansion, the King of Chu sat comfortably on the beauty and asked me to play the piano to him. Mu Annian led his people to force him to break in, completely ignoring the majesty and face of the King of Chu, and completely pretending to be trying to capture people.
"The Marquis of Baoding is really crazy and even I, the King of Chu, don't take it seriously. "The King of Chu had a gloomy face and frowned slightly, and he said sarcastically.
"His Royal Highness of Chu has never lacked female relatives, but he has hidden female relatives in my house and openly despises me, the Marquis of Baoding. I don't know what I mean? "
Mu Annian walked straight into the pavilion, not willing to be outdone, nor did he politely. His eyes stared at me like a knife for a moment, and directly refuted it with a tough heart.
"Privately hidden? "The King of Chu Youran stood up and confronted Mu Annian, "I have known my sister Qinglan for many years, but now she has difficulties. What's wrong with coming to my palace to stay for a while? However, Baoding Hou, you just got married yesterday and came here today to ask for your female relatives. Who are you? "
Mu Annian had a gloomy face and walked towards me with a big strode. He reached out and grabbed me directly, which made me hurriedly get up and sit down, trying to distance myself from him, which made him angry and scolded him directly: "Shangguan Qinglan, I advise you to follow me back to my house immediately, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences! "
" If she doesn't want to, don't even think about forcibly taking her away today! "The King of Chu warned.
"Your Highness, King of Chu, she is a female relative in my house. I have had a long alliance with Wending and a happy return. Now this is my family matter. Even if I sue you in front of Your Majesty, she is still a member of my Mu family. If you die, it is the ghost of my Mu family. If others do not want to interfere, I hope your highness can understand it. "
Mu Annian said righteously and took it for granted. The King of Chu felt indecent and could only say solemnly: "I still say the same thing: If she doesn't want to, don't even want to force her away today! "
I didn't want to remain silent anymore, and directly retorted: "General Mu, since you still remember the alliance of Wending and the joy of returning, you should remember that it was a ceremony for marrying a wife, not a concubine. Now that you have married a new wife, you should be remarried with your family. The alliance of Wending was invalidated in the past. From then on, you will be lenient and happy to marry each other, and you will have nothing to do with it. "
" I did not agree, and I did not leave the book, and you are still the wife of my Mu family, so you must not act like a loser! "
Mu Annian looked serious and gritted his teeth, leaving no room for slowing down.
I sighed helplessly and had to find another way out and said, "Since that's the case, I will give the general two choices. First, your marriage with the Lord of Jianan County is invalid, or she is a concubine, and she will leave the house after giving birth. I will go back to the house with you. Second, you give me and Li Shu, and let me go out of the city to go to the Taoist temple to take a rest in peace. From then on, life and death will never be seen again. What's the matter? "
I concluded that he would definitely not choose the first item, so he could only choose the second item.
Who knew that, he blurted out and opposed it: "Dream! You have no choice, don't challenge my patience anymore."
After saying that, he walked towards me again, trying to force me to go home, which made me hurriedly retreat and wanted to keep a distance. He suddenly hit the pavilion pillar behind his back, and became unable to retreat. In desperation, I had to pull out the silver hairpin and put it on my neck and throat, and warned sternly: "Don't force me! Otherwise, I will die here immediately, and let you bear the reputation of abandoning your wife and forcing you to die. I will do what you say! "
Seeing this, Mu Aninian suddenly became panicked, and then he said in a panic and angrily: "Don't you really follow me back home? "
King Chu stood in front of me, stood between me and Mu Annian, and directly issued an order to expel guests, "Master Baoding, please come back! "
" will not reply! Never return if you die! "I gritted my teeth and responded resolutely.
Mu Annian said nothing, turned around and left angrily, and did not persist anymore, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, as if I had reborn.
"Are you okay? "
After seeing someone leave, the King of Chu asked gently.
"I have nothing to do, so I made Your Highness laugh. "I put away the silver hairpin and put it back on my hair bun.
" This is not a solution after all, and Hou Ding of Baoding would not give up so much. "The King of Chu muttered with concern.
Of course I know that Mu Annian will never give up. Although he doesn't know his character very well, he also knows that he is a person who is unwilling to be forced to be forced. He just doesn't know what he will do next, and wants to force her to go back.

About half a month Later, just when I thought things were just so peaceful, I suddenly got news that my brother was convicted and imprisoned. The charge was: forming a clique for personal gain, and was suspected of colluding with enemies. For this reason, my mother was still angry and fainted.
, while the King of Chu was suspected of forming cliques and framing his brothers and sisters. He violated the emperor's taboo and was ordered to ban the palace. He was not allowed to leave the palace without an imperial edict.
No need to think too much, this must be Mu Annian's warning. If I don't know the importance of it and have not returned to Baoding Hou Mansion for a long time, it is very likely that I will collect my brother's body and even handle my mother's funeral together.
has no choice but to apologize for leaving the Chu Prince's Mansion, go to see my brother, go home to visit my mother, and then go back to Baoding Hou Mansion with Mei Xiang.
entered the front hall of the Hou Mansion. Mu Annian was drinking tea leisurely, and his eyebrows, eyes and lips could not hide his complacentness, but he said nothing.
I walked to him without expression, looking at his face that was in control of everything and was determined to win. I didn't want to speak at all, and I didn't know where to start asking for help, so I remained silent.
"Kneel down! "Mu Annian drank tea and ordered coldly.
had no choice but to kneel down, but I still couldn't help but accuse him: "You take revenge on your own and make enemies for no reason, aren't you afraid of retribution? "
" Humph! "Mu Annian couldn't help but sneer down the teacup, got up and squatted in front of me, strangled my chin, lifted my face and looked at him, and smiled playfully, "Please!" "
I pursed my lips, and I was very unwilling to struggle. Then I chose to bow my head and ask, "Please give me a lot of them. Let my brother go. I have any fault. If I want to kill or punish me, please do not involve innocent people, can I? "
Mu Annian couldn't help but smile at the corners of his eyebrows, his lips and said, "Call me husband." "
I bit my teeth, frowned, and felt extremely resistant, and I didn't want to scream.
"What kind of ending do you think your brother will be? Um? "Mu Annian asked with a meaningful smile.
" Husband. "
was very stiff, but I still yelled.
Mu Annian smiled suddenly, "In this Hou Mansion Mu family, do you know what identity he is now? How to do it? "
is like training domestication , and the feeling of humiliation can't help but spread throughout my body, and I could only bow my head and recognize everything, "I know, I am the wife of Hou Ping of Baoding. From now on, I will be a small-scale man. I must respect Hou and his wife and will not violate it."
A trace of sadness suddenly flashed in Mu Annian's eyes, and he suddenly promised, "In the future, you will still live in the West Courtyard, and you will still be the wife of the Marquis' Mansion. "
I didn't understand what he meant.
He let me go directly, but after standing up, he suddenly changed his mind, looked at Mei Xiang coldly, and said sternly: "Come here, this maid does not follow the rules, lured the wife to leave the house, dragged her out and blamed her for fifty poles, and next time, she will be killed by the poles! "
" Yes! "The servant next to
directly received the order to respond, scaring Mei Xiang's face turned pale and screaming in panic, "Miss..."
Is he going to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?
I was also nervous and scared in an instant. If I go down fifty boards, even if I don't hurt my muscles, I have to lie down for three or five days before I can stay. I really shouldn't have harmed the innocent. So I hurriedly stood up and said, "General, one person does things and one person does it, it has nothing to do with others. I will suffer these fifty sticks and myself. Please don't punish the innocent. "
Mu Annian stood with his hands behind his back, his face suddenly looked extremely ugly. He seemed to be very disgusted by being disobedient, but he didn't say anything.
"I'll go and receive the punishment immediately. "I turned around and walked out, and wanted to go to the courtyard to receive the punishment.
"Miss..." Mei Xiang shouted at a loss, "Or, please beg the general, maybe he will give up on the Internet and forgive you. "
" Don't ask for it! "
I whispered in a low voice, and I didn't want to beg for help anymore, especially Mu Annian, who bullied others by his power, was not considered a man at all.
I lay on the long desk, holding the desk tightly to receive the fifty boards. I wonder if Mu Annian was behind the scenes or the torture people showed mercy. Every big board fell, it seemed like it was thunder and raindrops, and it was not as heavy as I thought, but in the end, My back waist and hips still hurt so much, so I could only barely stand up, but I couldn't walk. After
, it was Mei Xiang who carried me back to the west courtyard, and then I rested on the couch. The whole thing quickly spread throughout the Hou Mansion, making me a big joke again. After
, I could only walk around, and my back waist and hips didn't hurt so much when I walked. During this period, there were no soldiers guarding the entrance of the West courtyard with knives. However, there were two more maids in the courtyard, 80% of them were Mu Annian, or Gao Yingying's people, to keep an eye on my actions.
A few days later, my brother's suspected unjust case was thoroughly investigated, and the result was: insufficient evidence, false charges, untrue release, and the official reinstatement. The King of Chu was also able to eliminate the suspicion and lift the confinement.

In the evening, Mu Annian was allowed to eliminate the suspicion and lift the confinement. I was in a good mood and came to the West Courtyard with a look of pride on my face as if a god could control everything. Then I sat directly beside me.
I didn't get up and salute and greeted me. I sat motionlessly on the couch, holding herbs and books in my hand, and was studying medical skills and pharmacology. Although I was separated from him by a pit table, I still subconsciously moved my body to keep a distance, not wanting to be too close to him.
"Did you forget the promise you made when you begged me? "Mu Annian asked meaningfully. I didn't even look at
, and asked directly: "Since I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, I have never taken a step out of the West Courtyard, but has it been a violation? "
Mu Annian first sent the servant away, and then said meaningfully: "If you ask me again, you will see your father return to Beijing soon. What about? "
" Humph! "I couldn't help but sneer, thinking that he was ridiculous, "The wood is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. The water in the capital is deep, and the power of the powerful is mixed. Your achievements are so great that you are shocked by the master and hold military power. You have become afraid of Your Majesty, but you are still eager for quick success and instant benefits and play with power. You are simply seeking death. Be careful to accidentally stand in the wrong position and end up killing the whole family."
Mu Annian's face suddenly looked extremely ugly. Her hand, which was placed horizontally on the pit table, clenched into a fist unconsciously, and then gritted her teeth and said, "I don't like a woman who is too smart and opposes me everywhere! "
is so good, I was born to like you!
I really want to say this, but I didn't want to anger him. In the end, I became demanding for trouble. A few days ago, I was already suffering enough. So I turned around and asked, "Why did I seal my shop? When will I be unblocked? "
Mu Annian's face suddenly eased, "Why do you want to show up in public and open a shop? Is your Mu family less food and clothing? "
" Humph! "I couldn't help but sneer and find it ridiculous, "Your mother has always been the leader of the family, why don't you ask her why? I have lived in the Hou Mansion for more than three years, but have I ever received half a tael of silver from her? If there was no dowry, I guess the grave grass had already been one after another. If I didn’t open a shop, where would the money come from? How to deal with the often-held banquets and small gatherings between officials and noble ladies in the capital, and not lose your appearance as a Baoding Hou?
A year ago, you were in a hurry to fight ahead, so I ran around to manage my work, asking people to raise funds everywhere to raise more than 100,000 taels of food and money. Do you think that the money you used to manage your back was given by your mother? Now, you have won victory and triumph, and your wife is pregnant, but she is arrogant and scolded me, why do you want to show up in public and start a business? Why not be at ease in the back house? It's ridiculous! "
Mu Annian looked at me in shock, as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue, and then asked anxiously: "Is that more than 100,000 taels of military pay and 400,000 stones of food and grass not raising the price of more than 100,000 taels of food and grass, wasn't the King of Ji County Gao Yi running around in the rear? For this reason, he made military contributions, and was promoted to the title of Prince of the State, and his daughter Gao Yingying was also granted the title of Lord of Jianan County..."
I was too lazy to argue with him, so I couldn't help but sigh helplessly and asked directly: "When can my shop be unsealed? In the warehouse inside the store, I have stored a lot of grain. If I want to seal it, I have to wait until I sell out the grain and oil. Can I seal it? "
"I immediately ordered people to remove the seal..." Mu Annian responded wiltedly like an eggplant beaten by frost.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came in to pass the message, saying that the old lady called her over for dinner.
Mu Annian seemed to be deeply hit and stood up with anger. Seeing that I didn't want to move, she Call me to go with you.
I was too lazy to refuse to argue with him anymore, so I stood up silently and followed him, wanting to go to the Hou Mansion dining room for dinner together.
When I walked into the dining room, everyone else was sitting around the table. Gao Yingying saw me following Mu Annian into the door, her face was a little surprised and ugly, and her eyes became very sharp, as if she was murderous.
This made me suddenly think that she covet someone else's husband and successfully occupy the nest. Are she very afraid of losing and being coveted by her husband? She doesn't let me live comfortably, so why should I make her live comfortably? I think I'm easy to bully, think my mother's family has no help, and if I want to step on it?
I directly sat down with Mu Annian, and there was an old lady sitting between Mu Annian and her, which made her eyes even more It is complicated and full of resentment. When the old lady saw me, her dissatisfaction and disgust suddenly appeared on her face, but she wanted to say something but stopped and ended up saying nothing. After
got on the chopsticks and had dinner, the old lady hesitated and said: "Qinglan, in a few days, the wife of the Jin State will celebrate her 60th birthday. You come back up the gift and follow me to celebrate her birthday. "
's tone is like an order, not a discussion, but a notification, which made me laugh. I just want me to pay for the money to make favors and gain mercy for their family?
I used to think it was a family, and I should do such a thing without having to worry too much. Now, I just live in the Marquis' Mansion, not their wife. Why should I pay for this kind of money? It must be a hundred taels.
"Shangguan Qinglan, am I talking to you, have you heard it? "
Seeing that I was only concerned about picking up food and not taking it seriously, the old lady asked in anger.
I asked calmly: "Why? I am not the wife of the Hou Mansion. I can do it if I want me to prepare a generous gift. I have to give silver taels first, at least one hundred taels. Otherwise, I am afraid you won't be able to take the gift."
Everyone looked at me in shock. The old lady seemed to swallow a fly and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
I turned my eyes to Gao Yingying and said, "The county lord is rich in dowry, and he is the new wife of the Hou Mansion. The relationship between such officials and powerful people should be managed by the wife. This can also enhance the reputation of the wife. It should not be difficult for merely a hundred taels of silver. Also, Miss Anning wanted to marry into the Duke of Jin's mansion. This is a good opportunity. You should pay more attention to the generous gifts you have. Otherwise, it may delay Miss Anning's marriage."
Gao Yingying was born and raised in the fiefdom of the fiefdom and did not know the situation of the capital. And Mu An had been fighting for many years and did not know much about the current situation in the capital. As for the old lady, who was born in the Bai Ding family, to put it bluntly, she was a vulgar woman with short-sighted and snobbish knowledge.
I want to see how she, Gao Yingying, responds without anyone helping her. Don’t think that the relationship between officials and powerful people is a very simple thing, it can involve the smoothness of the official career.
Gao Yingying heard me say this, her eyes glared at me angrily, looking like she wanted to tear her, but I didn't care, just eating happily.
Because the matter involved Mu Anning's lifelong affairs, she suddenly pleased and said, "Sister-in-law, since this is the case, it is best for you to do this. In the past, you were in charge of human relations and did a good job. You have never had any negligence. You should do it."
"Yes, Qinglan, the county lord is pregnant, which is inconvenient. Besides, he doesn't know much about the officials and nobles in the capital. It seems that it is not good to go to celebrate his birthday with pregnancy. I am afraid that he will be taboo. It's better for you to take care of the money. The old lady has a soft attitude and tone, and she smiles in a fake way.
But I was not fooled, so I refused and said, "Forget it, I am incompetent. If I mess up Miss An Ning's marriage and make her only a concubine, I can't afford it."
"Shangguan Qinglan, have you intentionally been unable to get along with me?" The old lady's nature was immediately exposed, and she was angry and embarrassed and scolded her.
"Mom, enough, you have always treated her like this?" Mu Anian suddenly couldn't help but scold her.
"I..." The old lady was speechless.
I finished the steak in the bowl, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up, turned around and asked Meixiang for more than ten cents to put it on the table, and smiled and said, "This is the food. From now on, you will pay half of the grain of your Mu family that I eat, and you will never take any advantage of your Mu family. The house will be paid monthly. I will eat it as soon as I eat it, so you can eat it slowly."
"Bang! It's back!" The old lady suddenly became angry and threw the chopsticks, and yelled at Mu Anian to leave me, "Annian, this woman is ungrateful and disrespectful, so she can't stay! Get off quickly and drive out of the mansion!"
Get me off? Leave the Hou's Mansion? This is exactly what I want!
I didn't say anything more, I ignored everything and turned around and walked out. When I heard Mu Annian angrily scolding, "Stop!" I didn't leave, but just kept my mind to leave directly and stay away from the place of right and wrong.
I want to see how he can do it to me and kill me? Hit me? Or get off me? No matter what kind of result it is, it should be a kind of relief. It is better than being depressed and trapped in the living coffin of the Hou Mansion for a lifetime.

The next day, Mei Xiang and I went out of the house to check the situation. When we left the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, there were no guards to stop us from traveling, but there were maids who followed us out, and 80% were surveillance.
grain and oil shop, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper and the shop wait until they all arrived at the store before they officially opened and reopened. Afterwards, the shopkeeper asked me that the south is in good weather this year, the sun is sufficient, the autumn grain harvest is very good, and the grain prices are not high, so should I buy grain and store grain to deal with the coming year.
I thought about it for a long time before I decided to store grain again to meet the food demand for the coming year. However, for safety reasons, no accidents will happen. I will rent another warehouse to store grain and not put all the eggs in one basket, so as not to be taken all for myself.
After all the things were arranged and ordered, I left a note for the shopkeeper, asking him to take the time to secretly help me buy a few herbs and poisons, and I will take them away when I come to the store next time. I was afraid of arousing Mu Annian's alertness, so I did not let Mei Xiang do it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After
, I went home to visit my mother. After having supper with my family, I returned to the Hou Mansion and went straight back to the West Courtyard.
At night, I took a shower and washed and was about to go to bed, but Mu Annian actually came.
looks not angry or proud, he looks very calm, and his eyes are staring at me, as if he is planning to stay overnight.
I turned my back to the dressing table, held the silver hairpin tightly in my hand, hid it behind me to take precautions, and then I pretended to be calm and asked, "But I have something to talk about?"
I have a cleanliness obsession with me, and I will never be a concubine for others. I feel very filthy. He wants to stay overnight, but I don't even think about it.
He seemed to see my nervousness and did not come forward again, but just stood not far away with his hands behind his back, looking at me in dismay and not speaking.
"It's getting late. I'm tired and want to rest. If you have anything, please talk about it tomorrow. General, please come back." I directly issued an order to expel guests.
"Do you have a private relationship with him in the Chu Palace...?"
Mu Annian seemed to be looking for a way out and suddenly asked coldly.
"Hmph!" I couldn't help but sneer. In his eyes, I was such a casual woman. "Yes, I have loved His Highness the King of Chu since I was a child. If I hadn't had a long engagement with you, I would have married His Highness the King of Chu long ago. In addition, I am no longer innocent and have been pregnant."
"Do you want to get to Lishu?"
Mu Annian seemed to have seen through something, and suddenly looked relaxed and asked with a meaningful smile.
"Yes!" I couldn't help but feel a little panicked, afraid that he would get angry, ruin everything, and make me worse than death.
"Since that's the case, you will serve me well tonight. If I can make me happy and satisfied, I will give you and Li Shu tomorrow and allow you to leave the Hou Mansion. How about it?"
Do you think I am stupid? This is all up to him, and it is entirely possible to go back on his word afterwards. Besides, I think it’s dirty, how is it possible?
Just as I was silent and had not responded for a long time, Gao Yingying's personal maid came and reported to the report anxiously: "General, it's not good. The county lord suddenly felt unwell and his abdomen was painful. Please go and take a look."
was suddenly swept away. Mu Annian couldn't help but feel angry and roared directly: "If you don't feel well, please ask for a doctor. Is this general a doctor? Maybe healing?"
's personal maid was yelling and trembling. He didn't dare to reply.
Of course I know the trick, isn’t Gao Yingying afraid that Mu Annian will stay overnight in my room? However, this is exactly what I want, so I don't say anything.
After a while, Mu Annian's face was extremely gloomy. She looked at me with dissatisfaction and turned around and left angrily, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, let go of the silver hairpin, and locked the door to rest.
A few days later, the old lady brought generous gifts and took Gao Yingying with Mu Annian to the Duke of Jin's mansion to celebrate his birthday to Duke of Jin.
That night, Gao Yingying was so angry that she invited the doctor to visit the clinic overnight.
It is said that during the entire birthday party, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not favored at all, and were excluded. They were ridiculed and accused of saying: they did not know etiquette, occupied the magpie's nest, bullying the mistress in the family, and did not take her identity as a county lord, especially some noble ladies. They only took it out, either princesses or princesses, or princesses, or the county lords, and the identity of her county lords outside the capital was not taken seriously. They also got pregnant before marriage, bullying the magpie's nest, and occupied the magpie's nest. This is a big taboo in the eyes of some wife of the wife, and set a bad precedent.
The old lady was even more unpopular, saying that she was a rough country woman, who was not polite, did not understand ethics, and ignored ethics. As an elder, she actually indulged her son to favor concubines and destroy his wife, and allowed the outdoor room to occupy the nest. Now she was still complacent and brought it out to show off. She was really ungrateful and ignored her face.
As for Mu Annian, as a man, he had great military achievements, was named a marquis, and was appointed as a general. No one dared to disrespect him at all. Moreover, he was mostly among men, and men didn't mind these things at all. They talked about political affairs, so they were not ridiculed and hurt.
However, it is estimated that Mu Anning would have no chance to marry into the Duke of Jin's mansion. It is probably difficult to marry someone of the same family. After all, there is such a mother and such a family style.

A few days later, Gao Yingying's fetal elephant was stable, and suddenly she sent someone to ask me to sit there.
I don’t know what the hell she was trying to do, so I refused directly.
Because I never treated her as a wife, I never saluted her concubine, and I didn’t even pay any greetings every day, and Mu Annian never said anything, so I didn’t care even more about anything to cause trouble.
However, she didn't give up and took the initiative to bring pastries with her pregnant belly.
"What are you busy with on weekdays?"
As soon as she entered the door, she pretended to be false and smiled and didn't smile.
"Don't call me like this. I can't bear it if I lose your identity, and I'm not familiar with you."
I relied on the pit table and sat on the couch without moving, staring at the medical book on my hand and didn't read it, and responded directly.
"Bold Aunt! When she saw the mistress's wife, she didn't stand up and salute. She dared to be so arrogant and rude!" The Madam Kong beside Gao Yingying suddenly scolded her.
I calmly looked up and said directly: "I have something to say, please go back if I have nothing to say. If I want to show off my identity, I must have come to the wrong place. I am not interested in listening to nonsense."
"Shangguan Qinglan, why do you have to be so generous?" Gao Yingying looked for a place to sit down and asked someone to put down the pastry next to me. "Enjoy me everywhere and hurt my body?"
"Hmph!" I couldn't help but sneer, feeling speechless, and then disdainful. He asked, "When will I be angry with you? You are worthy of it? You are obviously snatching the status of your power, but you are also guilty and uneasy, so you are making things difficult for me everywhere."
seemed to be hit by a weak point. Gao Yingying suddenly blushed, but she still pretended to be tough: "No matter what, now, now, as a general's wife, I will be promoted to the Duke's wife soon. As a concubine, you should know etiquette and keep etiquette, be respectful and low-key in the mansion."
Are you going to start suppressing me by relying on your identity?
"Know the etiquette and keep the etiquette? Hum!" I couldn't help but sneer, "The capital is a place where politeness is valued, and countless people are valuable. Just your identity as the Marquis of Baoding is recognized in the mansion. If you go outside, who will still recognize you? Otherwise, why would Your Majesty not grant you an imperial title?"
"That's because... it's not granting the title, and it will definitely give it a title soon. If you don't believe it, you'll wait and see!" After being hit by the weakness, Gao Yingying couldn't help but panic and was very guilty and panic.
It seems that she is not a person with literary talent and knowledge, but only has a skin. Could she be like the old lady? For such a person, Mu Annian soon discovered that marrying him as a wife would not help at all, and would only make him a joke.
So, I don’t need to do anything, just wait for them to take it upon themselves, so as not to dirty my hands and make myself virtuous and unkind.
"Since that's the case, you must protect your baby and give birth to a baby smoothly, so that the general will lose interest in you early and end up with no child." I said with a smile.
Gao Yingying suddenly seemed like a cat with a trampled tail. She stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Come here, send the order down. Shangguan is disrespectful and is guilty of the following. He said a poisonous curse. He must be banned for three days to reflect and do not provide any water and rice."
"Yes!" The servant next to
directly answered and accepted the order.
Looking at Gao Yingying angrily shook her sleeves and left, and the servants followed her. I didn’t think there was anything, I just thought that this would make me quiet.
But after seeing the pastries she left behind, the taste was exquisite and the variety was quite large. Suddenly, I felt that there must be something wrong with the pastries. Her purpose was just to let me eat the pastries. After
, I asked Mei Xiang to secretly find a chicken. Gao Yingying was confined to me and was not allowed to enter and exit the West Courtyard, but she did not prohibit the servants around me from entering and leaving the West Courtyard.
I fed the pastry to the chicken. At first, nothing happened, but when I woke up the next day, I felt something was wrong with the chicken. I lay on the ground like a chicken plague and didn't move, and I didn't even scream. In the evening, I found that the chicken was dead.
chickens may not be as resistant as anyone. People may not die after taking it, but there will definitely be other toxic symptoms. So I chose to use the trick and take some poisons that can cause heartbeat, collapse, coma, and weakness after taking them to alienate Mu Annian and Gao Yingying.
I want to see how deep their love is, whether they can completely ignore etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and not be afraid of criticism from outside.
Of course, you still have to take the poison you throw and control the dosage to yourself.
At night, I began to experience symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, depression and coma, headache and salivation, arrhythmia, joint pain, etc., which caused Mu Annian and others to come in a hurry and invited several doctors to visit the clinic overnight.
When he heard the doctor say that it was digitalis poisoning, Mu Annian slapped Gao Yingying hard in anger, and scolded him in anger: "Poisonous woman! How could you be so vicious and use any means?"
As a pregnant woman, Gao Yingying almost fell to the ground by him. Fortunately, a maid behind her was quick-eyed and hands, so she did not fall to the ground. But she cried and denied: "No, I did not instruct anyone to poison, I just ordered her to be banned from thinking about her mistakes."
"Not yet? If not, will she be poisoned for no reason? You have replaced her wife, but you are not satisfied. Do you still want to take her life? A stinky and vicious heart with your father, you will do anything to achieve your goal!"
Mu Aninian was scolding angrily, and the old lady urged the doctor to prescribe the prescription quickly, "Doctor, think of a way to prescribe the antidote, she can't just die like this."
Suddenly, I rushed up with an old blood and vomited it directly in front of the couch, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Since it is a bitter trick, I feel uncomfortable, so I can't make them feel good. So I pretended to be dying and begged: "Mei Xiang, take me away quickly. I don't want to die in their house... I would rather be a lonely ghost than die in this dirty place..."
"Miss, Miss, it will be fine..." Mei Xiang cooperated tacitly and directly pulled the quilt open and wanted to carry me on her body, "Okay, I'll take you back to Shangguan's house and find the wife and the eldest son..."
However, Mu Annian did not No, I pulled Meixiang away, sat on the edge of the couch, hurriedly wiped the blood on my mouth, and comforted him anxiously, "I won't go anywhere, there will be no problem, I won't let you die..."
I pushed him away, not wanting him to touch him, "Fake false... Don't touch me, I think it's dirty! I'm dead, it's not your wish? I wish you... husband and wife will follow you, and you will eventually be punished, and you won't die well! Hahaha..."
I laughed wildly twice, and suddenly couldn't breathe, fainting and fainting, not knowing what happened again.

When I woke up again, it was already the next evening.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Mu Annian sitting by the couch to wipe my sweat, but I didn't want to see him. A feeling of disgust suddenly aroused my heart, so I turned my face and didn't look at him.
After a long time of silence, Mu Annian suddenly said sadly: "Don't you want to be with Lishu? I'll give it to you when you get better..."
I turned to look at him, confirming whether he was lying, and didn't say anything. After
, he stood up and left in disappointment, looking a little exhausted and weak.
Hearing Mei Xiang say that he has never been able to close his eyes since last night. But I don't want to forgive him for this.
After slowly recuperation, my body gradually improved and my daily life became normal and calm. Gao Yingying and others did not disturb him again.
However, Mu Annian did not keep his promise and gave me and Li Shu, and asked me to leave the Hou Mansion.
About four months later, I heard that Gao Yingying gave birth to a boy, but the child did not cry and did not respond to the sound. After being treated by the doctor, he was said to be deaf and mute. And there are soles of the feet and toes adhesion.
This made the old lady suddenly furious, thinking that it would ruin the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, so she directly ordered her to suffocate her to deal with it with premature death. But as a mother, Gao Yingying was really reluctant to leave and stopped her. However, in the end, the child died prematurely, not knowing whether it was artificial or congenitally unhealthy.
The mansion has been rumored that Gao Yingying drugged Mu Annian at the beginning, so the child is unhealthy.
About two months later, I finished my work in the store and took the account book back to the Hou Mansion. When I went straight back to the west courtyard, I suddenly met Gao Yingying, who was haggard and was walking with her servant.
As soon as she saw me, she immediately said sarcastically: "Shangguan Qinglan, you are really cruel enough. You actually poisoned yourself and staged a bitter plan. Do you think the general would not know these tricks?"
"It is said that you poisoned others and eventually harmed your own child. Who do you think is more cruel?"
I retorted coldly, and Gao Yingying was so angry that she immediately cried sadly. Then she covered her face and turned back to the hospital, without any thoughts to argue with me again.
coveted the stolen things, and they will eventually be punished and will be repaid. The little love between her and Mu Annian is nothing more than that.
It is said that Mu Annian has been living in the military camp and has not returned to the Marquis' Mansion for a long time. The old lady had no choice but to no longer like Gao Yingying, saying that she was in poor health and could not give birth to a healthy son.
One evening, Mu Annian suddenly came to the West Courtyard and asked me to accompany him to the prince’s birthday banquet the next day, but I directly refused. I didn’t want to go in and out with him, attend the banquet, or help him.
"At the beginning, Gao Yingying and I were really helpless. We had no choice but to forgive me? When will we have to have a quarrel?" Mu Anian suddenly asked in anger.
"Is someone pushing you with a knife to force you?" I was as calm as water, and asked coldly, "Everything is your choice, you should bear the consequences. There is no possibility between you and me anymore. If you force me again, I will be a nun. If you don't protect the reputation of the Hou Mansion and your reputation for you."
If it weren't for the Shangguan family, how could I continue to stay here? I really think I can't bear to leave him. Will I forgive him and accept him one day? It's simply naive and ridiculous!
Mu Annian looked at me with tears in his eyes, sad and desperate, then turned silently and left sadly, without saying anything more.
More than a month later, he was promoted to Duke Ding and led his troops to war again.
Before going to the battle, he insisted on resting Gao Yingying. After
, even though I did not have a good friend, I moved out of the Duke's Mansion and lived back to Shangguan's house.
Later, although my imperial title was also promoted, my father was able to return to Beijing to become an official and his family was reunited. He Mu Annian would occasionally write letters to me, but I never wrote back to him, making him mistakenly think that there was still hope between me.
After all, next time he wins and returns to Beijing, who knows whether he will bring back a strange woman, and the mother and son insist on marrying him as his wife.
has some damage, it's enough to bear it once, so why give me another chance to hurt me? I'm born without being a rude person, right? (Original title: "The General's Lady Don't Be a Concubine")
