Madam Ning was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles: "How could father do such a thing as favoring a concubine over his wife? The main wife has always been in charge of the household affairs. Although mother has not been in charge of things in recent years, the eldest sister-in-law... is easy to talk to after all!"

In fact, what Mrs. Ning was really worried about was the dowry of Ning Weizhou’s mother!

Except for the things that are eye-catching on the surface, all other things are hidden in Madam Ning's place.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo was very angry at that time, he was a man after all, and he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so he naturally didn't understand the twists and turns of the harem.

Mrs. Ning controlled the dowry of her deceased daughter-in-law, so she could continuously support the second wife.

It is obviously impossible for Madam Ning to buy a hairpin today and a bracelet tomorrow and pay for both from the public treasury!

Ning Weizhou's mother was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan. Her dowry filled ten large ships.

All the properties of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion added together are not even half of this!

Therefore, even though the eldest wife has the title of Crown Prince and is in charge of the government affairs, Second Madam Ning is not in a hurry at all.

What she wanted from the beginning to the end was Ning Weizhou's mother's dowry!

I thought that if I could hold on for a few more years, until my mother-in-law died and I got my share of the dowry, the second wife would separate and no longer be oppressed by the first wife.

But now the dowry is going to change hands!

"Don't worry, my husband. Let me find out about the new concubine's background!" Madam Ning comforted him softly.

Ning Nanshun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His mother or wife would always worry about everything, so he just needed to live a comfortable life!

Besides, Ning Bei'an brought a box of gifts to the General's Mansion, but was turned away.

The soldier at the door was polite but his expression was cold and unkind: "My wife is resting and won't see any guests!"

"Is the general in the mansion?" Ning Beian asked hurriedly.

The sergeant's face suddenly darkened: "How can you find out the whereabouts of the general? Hurry up and leave, or you will be charged with being a spy!"

Ning Bei'an was also a member of the Ministry of War, so he knew that this was just a bluff.

But after waiting for a long time, Ning Weizhou did not show up, so he could only offer the box and ask the sergeant to pass it in.

The sergeant was fine until he saw the box, but once he saw it, he immediately turned hostile:

"What crime should be committed for attempting to bribe the general in broad daylight?"

As he said this, he gave a call and the other soldiers at the door gathered around, ready to arrest someone!

Ning Beian danced with joy and repeated his identity, but was met with contemptuous looks:

"It's not like the Zhenguo Mansion is the only one with the surname Ning in the world. Does that mean the Zhenguo Mansion has to recognize everyone with the surname Ning as their relative?"

A scholar cannot be defeated by a soldier in an argument, this is the truth!

Ning Bei'an wanted to reason with them, but these soldiers kept saying things that were unreasonable.

He didn't dare to act recklessly, so he could only drag the box back home.

Inside the gate of the General's Mansion, Lou Yi patted the leading soldier on the shoulder:

"Well done, I'll give you guys a snack tonight!"

The soldier smiled happily: "It's all thanks to General Lou Yi's good teaching!"

Gu Feiwan woke up and saw the flickering candlelight in the room through the curtains.

“Qinglin…”

The curtain was opened and Qinglin walked in:

"The girl is awake?"

"What time is it?" Gu Feiwan struggled to get up, only to find that his whole body was sore, as if he had been run over by a car all night!

"At the end of the afternoon, the general is in the front yard. Tell the servants not to wake you up." Qinglin smiled.

My daughter has been married twice. The last time, the son-in-law ran away with his mistress before he even entered the bridal chamber, which made everyone feel sad and miserable.

This time, the son-in-law really couldn't find any fault. Qinglin was happy for his daughter.

Good people will be rewarded, and finally the clouds will clear and the moon will appear!

Gu Feiwan was shocked. He realized he had slept for a whole day!

"Help me up!" Gu Feiwan lifted the quilt and complained, "Why don't you shout? If this gets out, people will say that our Gu family has no manners!"

Qing Shuang jumped in, and after hearing this, she curled her lips and said, "Who dares to say this? Let the general slap them in the face!"

"Besides, in this Zhumei Courtyard, besides the people that the girl brought as a dowry, there is also Ali, who doesn't like to talk too much with others. The girl is worrying too much!"

After Qing Shuang finished talking, Gu Feiwan felt a little relieved. Then she thought again, there were no elders or peers in the general's mansion, only her and Ning Weizhou.

Gu Feiwan leaned back on the pillow, as if this was not a bad thing, with fewer formalities of noble families and more ease.

"My son-in-law said that in this general's mansion, you can eat whatever you want, sleep whenever you want, and scold anyone you want. If you want to scold him, let this servant pass on the message, and he will come whenever you call!"

Qinglin covered his mouth as he spoke, his eyebrows curved and his face full of smiles.

Gu Feiwan spat softly: "What a jerk! You guys can't learn bad habits from him!"

Ning Weizhou was a man who couldn't even breathe when he saw her before, but how come he became so smooth-talking after getting married?

Thinking about how she begged for mercy last night but that person wouldn't give in and used sweet words to trick her into cooperating, Gu Feiwan felt both ashamed and angry!

"The general is back!"

In the yard, Ali's clear voice was heard.

Gu Feiwan quickly retreated back into bed, and heard Ning Weizhou saying:

"Next time I enter the yard, don't yell, Ahri!"

Ahri: "Didn't the general tell me to only listen to Madam and only think about Madam in the future? Madam has woken up, and from her breath, she seems a little angry. Ahri naturally has to tell Madam that the punching bag is back!"

Ning Weizhou: “…”

Gu Feiwan listened to the conversation between the two and laughed out loud while hiding in the quilt!

Steady footsteps came from the door and stopped beside the bed:

"Aren't you hungry now that you're awake? Why don't you get up to eat?"

Gu Feiwan poked her head out, with a look of resentment on her face: "It's so late, is there any dinner?"

Ning Weizhou's heart instantly turned into a puddle of water. The person who had been at the top of his heart for so many years finally opened her sweet face to him, pouted and acted like a spoiled child!

"Yes! No matter when, Fei Wan can have whatever she wants to eat!" Ning Weizhou turned around and ordered:

"Go to the kitchen and ask them to quickly prepare the dishes I ordered during the day and send them over."

Qingshuang ran away quickly.

"I'll help you get up!" Ning Weizhou said, and was about to lift the quilt.

But Gu Feiwan held Kejiao tightly, "Get out! Let Qinglin come!"

"You said the same thing last night, but in the end it was me who served you? Was it because I didn't serve you well and Feiwan was not satisfied?"

The man in front of him leaned forward, and with his tall body, he held Gu Feiwan tightly:

"What are you dissatisfied with? Fei Wan, just tell me and I will!"

Gu Feiwan really didn't expect that Ning Weizhou had such a shameless side!

He immediately became angry and stretched out his hand to hit him: "Shame on you!"

Ning Weizhou went to meet him, worried that Gu Feiwan might be tired, and smiled:

"I am just too proud, otherwise why would I make you suffer so much?"
