The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

Worshiping Buddha is actually a very tiring thing. Not to mention other things, just kneeling for several hours is something that few people can endure.

When Song Qingci returned, he saw the old lady and the others just coming out, so he quickly followed them.

Today's ceremony lasted a long time. The old lady looked obviously tired, and Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Qi were not much better.

"Please take us to the side room to rest. After we have our vegetarian meal, we will go back on our own." The old lady was very polite to the young monk who led the way.

"Amitabha, please follow me, ladies." The little monk didn't say much.

The east wing of this temple is specially prepared for donors who come here to worship Buddha and chant scriptures. Today is the birthday of Guanyin, and the wing rooms have been reserved in advance by major families.

Only two rooms could be booked in the General's Mansion.

The old lady and Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Qi rested in the same room.

The other juniors rested in another room. As for the concubines, they were not qualified to participate in the ceremony in the main hall. Naturally, they were not qualified to rest in the side rooms.

In the past, when they could book a few more rooms, it wouldn't have mattered, but now there were no extra rooms, so they could only go down the mountain and rest in the carriage.

"Sister-in-law." Shan Xi called Song Qingci softly, then moved to her side step by step and asked secretly, "Sister-in-law, where did you go just now?"

She also wanted to stay for a while and then slip away, but her mother kept a close eye on her, so she didn't get the chance.

When I was bored, I found that my sister-in-law had left without me noticing when. Oh, why didn't I think of taking her with me when she left?

Song Qingci made a shushing gesture. Then he whispered in Shan Xi's ear, "I'm just going to go out for some fresh air. We'll talk later."

In fact, how could the old lady and the others not know that she had slipped away? They just didn't say anything. How could a young wife stand the boredom of the Dharma Assembly? As long as it didn't affect the normal procedures, they would turn a blind eye.

Everyone followed the young monk to the east wing and then went back to their rooms to rest.

After entering the room, Shan Xi took a deep breath. She patted her chest and said, "I am dying of suffocation. This happens several times every year. It is really too miserable. Sister-in-law, you are smart and slipped out early."

Shan Ruoyan said sarcastically, "Some people try to curry favor with others, but they just don't like them. It's really pitiful."

Shan Xi was so upset that she had no place to vent. Shan Ruoyan provoked her, which really irritated her. Shan Xi started to complain to her, "Shan Ruoyan, if you have the guts, call her by name. Which opera singer did you learn to speak so secretly? It's so unpresentable."

"What did you say?!" Shan Ruoyan felt that Shan Xi was humiliating her aunt, and also humiliating her birth, and she immediately got angry. "You actually mocked me for being a concubine!"

The General Guarding the Country's Mansion did not have the clear distinction and barriers between legitimate and illegitimate children as in other mansions.

After all, they were a family of military commanders, so offspring were particularly important. One day, they might go to the battlefield and never come back. Having many children could ensure the inheritance of the family.

Therefore, the children born out of wedlock in the general's mansion were given the same food, clothing and other expenses as the children born out of wedlock. The family rules also stipulated that children should not be treated differently or even suppressed based on whether they were legitimate or illegitimate. If a child born out of wedlock was good and had his or her own abilities, the family would help promote him or her.

The only exception is the hereditary title of General Guarding the Nation, which must be passed down to the legitimate son.

In fact, Shan Xi just felt that Shan Ruoyan's words were not fair and honest, and she did not mean to insinuate her. In her opinion, this family is all brothers and sisters, and there is no difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.

If there is a difference, it is that their parents love them to different degrees.

She felt that her parents only liked her eldest brother. Neither she nor her second brother were liked by her parents.

Seeing Shan Ruoyan's furious look, she began to doubt whether what she had just said was really inappropriate, and Shan Xi's anger immediately dissipated.

"Why don't you say anything?!" Seeing Shan Xi give in, Shan Ruoyan became even more aggressive, "I'm going to report this to my grandmother and let her make the decision for me."

"Okay, I also agree to report everything that happened today to Grandmother." Song Qingci looked at Shan Ruoyan and said righteously, "Including what Third Sister said before, report it as well."

"You---" Shan Ruoyan choked. Of course, when it comes to making a complaint, she has to avoid the main point and exaggerate. If she tells the whole story, she will definitely not get any benefit.

"I also want to ask grandma if I, the granddaughter-in-law, am only from the first wife's house. Why do the sisters from the second wife keep calling me 'sister-in-law' and can't even call me 'sister-in-law'?" In fact, Song Qingci is not good at quarreling. She has never experienced such bickering between little girls.

Mainly, she was used to not quarreling if she could resort to physical action. She was really not good at verbal battles.

But in this situation, she couldn't just kill Shan Ruoyan right away.

Shan Xi, the little girl, had always been kind to her. She didn't actually dislike her. On the contrary, she thought the little girl was quite cute. She was more pleasing to the eye than Shan Li.

"Sister-in-law, please don't tell grandma and the others about these things. We are all sisters from the same family. The third sister just speaks out her mind. I hope sister-in-law will forgive her." Shan Danyue spoke at the right time and gave everyone a way out.

She is the eldest wife's illegitimate daughter, the fourth child. She has always had a very low sense of presence. Most of the time, if she doesn't speak, you won't notice her.

Shan Ruoyan also walked down the stairs and stopped talking. In the past, when she faced Shan Xi, she suffered more losses and had a greater chance of winning. She didn't expect that this time she would have this new sister-in-law to help her. They really are a family.

If you are upset, you will not be able to eat anything. Although the vegetarian food at Xiangcheng Temple is very exquisite, it is a pity that I have not met anyone who can enjoy it calmly.

After the meal, everyone returned to their carriages and prepared to return to the city.

Shan Li had not appeared since he was dragged away by Xiao Wenye. He did not show up when he was about to go back.

Everyone seemed to be used to his habit of being away from home for a while, and no one asked a question.

"Sister-in-law, my brother hasn't come back yet. It's lonely for you to ride in the carriage alone. Why don't I accompany you?" Shan Xi came up again, and this time she finally got on the same carriage with Song Qingci smoothly.
