The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

Ever since people in the capital started saying that Miss Lou had a man hidden in her bedroom, everyone in the Fan family had been talking about it. General Fan's first wife Zhao Chunlei and second wife Ma Xiahe were trying every means to get Old Madam Fan to stop the engagement, while the ladies of other rooms were all waiting for the big show to begin, as if they were looking forward to it.

That day, Zhao Chunlei and the second wife Ma Xiahe came to Old Lady Fan's courtyard at the same time to pay their respects to her. Old Lady Fan also saw through their thoughts and said, "Tell me, are you two here to discuss the matter of the eldest lady of the Fan Mansion with me?"

Madam Zhao Chunlei spoke first: "Mother, I saw that everyone in the mansion was discussing this matter, and I was worried that you might be imagining things. Would you like to come and take a look?"

Second Madam Ma Xiahe also said, "Yes, mother, the people in the city are discussing this matter now. They say that our general's mansion is planning to marry a sixth wife who is immoral."

"Which bastard is talking nonsense?" Old Madam Fan had heard about this matter these days and was thinking about how to deal with it. When she heard Second Madam Ma Xiahe say this, she couldn't help but get angry, but she suppressed her anger and said slowly: "What do you think? Do you want me to cancel the engagement? You will have one less person to compete for your favor!"

Seeing the old lady's angry expression, the eldest wife Zhao Chunlei immediately said, "Mother, you misunderstood. Over the years, it's our fault that we haven't been able to give the Fan family more grandchildren. Now that your sister has joined the family, it will bring more joy to the Fan family. Maybe we will have a house full of grandchildren. We are so happy that we can't wait to cancel the engagement."

Second Madam Ma Xiahe thought to herself: Oh, you old fox are really good at talking. You can make up such a thing. It's a pity that you gave birth to a girl and you don't have any status. People without status should not interrupt and annoy others!

Seeing how perfect the first wife Zhao Chunlei was, the second wife Ma Xiahe was unwilling to admit defeat. She shrugged and said, "Yes, mother, we are concerned about the offspring of the Fan family. Isn't it said that our future sixth sister has a man hidden at home? She hasn't even married into the family yet, and she's already doing this. What if she gets pregnant with a bastard? That would be terrible!"

When Mrs. Fan heard this, she became even angrier: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Old Madam Fan was furious, but she was also thinking in her heart that what the second son said was not without reason. If the eldest daughter of the Lou family really had a man hidden in her family as the rumors said, then if she married into the Fan Mansion pregnant with this man's child, wouldn't she be raising a child for someone else? Thinking of this, Old Madam Fan sighed.

Seeing this, the eldest lady Zhao Chunlei comforted Madam Fan and said, "Mother, don't be angry. My second sister usually speaks directly, which is a bit harsh, but it makes sense. We need to face this problem squarely. Our Fan family has been in the army for generations to defend our country. Everyone in our Fan family is a person of clean background and pure character. If we let a person who is immoral marry into our general's mansion, it will become a joke for the people after dinner. At that time, the general will be ashamed, and our general's mansion will be discussed by others, which will have a far-reaching impact!"

Old Madam Fan felt annoyed by the two ladies arguing with each other, so she asked the two ladies to leave first.

Madam Fan called her maid Xiaoyu and asked, "Do you also think I should cancel this engagement?"

The maid Xiaoyu said: "Old Madam, I dare not speak carelessly. Everyone is talking about it at this time. I just want to relieve the old lady's worries!"

Seeing the maid Xiaoyu hesitate to speak, Madam Fan said, "Just speak boldly. I won't blame you!"

After hearing Madam Fan's assurance, the maid Xiaoyu began to speak: "Madam, our general is the descendant of a famous general and is known as the God of War. The person who can match him must be a peerless beauty, talented and beautiful, and of good character. But now the matter of our future general's sixth wife hiding a man has become known to the whole city. Whether it is true or not, it has affected her reputation. If we still insist on letting her marry him, we will be laughed at by others!"

Mrs. Fan agreed with Xiaoyu's words. At this time, General Fan Ziren came to pay his respects, and Mrs. Fan was just about to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with him.

Old Madam Fan and Fan Ziren mentioned the cancellation of the engagement, but Fan Ziren immediately refused. His firm attitude surprised Old Madam Fan. He should have had no contact with the eldest daughter of the Fan family before, but why was he so determined to marry her? Could it be that these two had known each other for a long time and had feelings for each other?

Old Madam Fan knew very well that no one could change her son's decision. He would find a way to accomplish what he wanted to do since he was young, and no matter how big the obstacles were, he would complete it according to his plan. This was also the first time he put forward his own ideas since he married several wives.

Mrs. Fan knew that she could not dissuade Fan Ziren, so she had to give up the idea of ​​canceling the engagement.

Since Fan Ziren did not agree to cancel the engagement, they could only choose a date for the wedding. Fan Ziren happened to be there, so Old Madam Fan wanted to discuss the wedding day with him.

So, Madam Fan said to Fan Ziren, "Son, are there any special arrangements you need to pay attention to on your wedding day? There are some details I want to tell you about!"

Fan Ziren said, "Mother, in view of the recent rumors about Miss Lou, we will not hold a banquet this time. Let her marry directly into the Fan Mansion and perform simple etiquette for you!"

Old Madam Fan thought: That's right, it's a big deal, and we still have a big banquet. Isn't this giving people a chance to come in and laugh at us? It's just wronging Miss Lou. No, we can't pity this person. Who made her do such a shameful thing before getting married? Alas!

Madam Fan agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to whatever you decide!"

After saying that, Fan Ziren withdrew, and Old Madam Fan asked someone to go to the Lou Mansion to pass on the message that there would be no banquet on the wedding day, but a simple ceremony, and they would enter the house directly. She prepared to have someone arrange a simple entry ceremony.

But at this moment, Old Madam Fan still didn't understand why Fan Ziren was so determined to marry Lou Yunsi.

It turned out that Xiao Shenke had already reported to Fan Ziren about the man hidden in the future Sixth Madam's home. He also accidentally discovered that the girl who bravely rescued the common people that day and caused those Baoshi people to be captured was the Sixth Madam who was about to marry into the General's Mansion - Lou Yunsi, the eldest daughter of the Lou family. Fan Ziren admired her courage and was grateful to her for saving those common people. Anyway, for Fan Ziren, marrying a wife was just to fulfill his mother's wish. He was determined to resist foreign enemies and had no time to care about his children's personal affairs.

So when his mother said she wanted to cancel the engagement, Fan Ziren immediately thought that the eldest daughter of the Lou family would suffer in terms of reputation and would have a hard time in the future. Such a brave girl should live a better life, so he decided to protect the eldest daughter of the Lou family's reputation and refused the decision to cancel the engagement.

At this time, the servant in the Fan Mansion who was responsible for delivering messages had already rushed to the Lou Mansion. When the aunt and Lou Yunpiao heard that someone from the Fan Mansion had arrived, they thought that they were going to cancel the engagement, so they quickly rushed over to watch, thinking that there would be a wonderful drama.
