Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 88 Reunion of old friends
Madam Ning pulled her people and walked back, not daring to look at Ning Weizhou!
By noon, all the people in the capital who were on good terms with me had arrived.
"The Marquis of Weiwu has arrived with his wife!"
The sound of calling out one's name made Ning Weizhou turn around and look towards the mansion gate.
Shen Zhili and Xiao Shuxue were dressed in plain clothes, and from a distance they looked like a very well-matched couple!
After burning incense, Shen Zhili glanced left and right twice. Xiao Shuxue snorted coldly:
"Looking for your ex-wife who you divorced? If you care so much about her, why did you divorce her on the same day?"
Shen Zhili immediately retracted his gaze and held Xiao Shuxue's hand: "I just heard that the two branches of the Ning family are not getting along, so I wanted to see if there are any omissions in their etiquette."
Xiao Shuxue threw her hand aside: "How can you be so rude in the funeral hall?"
Shen Zhili's hand fell empty and his face looked a little embarrassed for a moment, but he couldn't say anything harsh, and the people behind him were still waiting to pay their respects. He could only say a few words like "I'm sorry" to the family members and then walked towards the reception area.
"My nephew is a general of the Wu Kingdom. How can he marry a divorced woman?"
As soon as he sat down, Shen Zhili's ears perked up.
Someone shouted loudly at the women's seats, and the word "divorce" immediately made him concerned.
"A woman whose husband's family doesn't want her is just like rotten cabbage thrown on the street. We, the Duke of Zhenguo, cannot afford to pick up such stinky stuff!"
"Besides, when my aunt passed away, no matter how noble she was, she had to guard in front of the coffin. That was the blessing she earned in her previous life!"
"I've been here for quite a while now, and instead of serving tea or water, I haven't even seen you. How rude!"
"So what if the Gu family is rich? Aren't they just merchants? Our Zhenguo Mansion has been a family of nobles for generations. How can a mere merchant be able to marry into this family?"
"I'm Xiaozhou's aunt. If he doesn't listen to me, who should he listen to? I'll go tell him right now that my husband's family has a niece who is as pretty as a flower. She's a perfect match for Xiaozhou!"
Seeing that everyone was surrounding her, the woman became more and more excited as she spoke. Someone next to her instigated her:
"So you are so close to the Zhenguo Mansion. As an elder, you should personally teach him a lesson, so as to enhance the prestige of the Zhenguo Mansion!"
The woman hesitated, but someone else said, "Now that Madam Ning has passed away, I think Madam Ning is too busy to care about it, or she doesn't dare to offend that person. It's better for you, as an aunt, to be sensible. The funeral will take a few more days. If the distinguished guests see it and laugh at it, wouldn't it mean that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is afraid of even a merchant girl?"
"Don't you dare to provoke her?"
Although the woman looked hesitant, she immediately said stubbornly when she heard this: "Would I be afraid of her? I am a relative of my husband's family, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, Xiaozhou's aunt, and the head of the family who was married to her by a formal matchmaker. Would I be afraid of her, a divorced merchant girl?"
"Come on, and watch how I teach her a lesson!"
After a few words of encouragement, a large group of people headed towards the warm room.
Shen Zhili heard the voice fade away and became a little restless!
He chatted briefly with someone he knew, then left, making the excuse of changing clothes.
The front yard of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was noisy with cries and mournful music mixed together, but the warm room in the backyard was peaceful and quiet.
Ah Li had roasted a lot of sweet potatoes, but she couldn't finish them all by herself, so she asked Qing Shuang and Qing Lin to eat them. When they couldn't finish them either, she went out to give them away.
"Sweet potatoes are good, they can fill your stomach, how can they not eat them?" When Ali came back, the corner of his clothes was torn.
Qinglin was careful and took out a needle and thread to repair it: "Those who know you are going to deliver sweet potatoes will think you went to fight!"
Ahri pouted: "If they don't eat, I will naturally beat them until they eat!"
"..."
Qinglin almost pricked his finger with a needle!
Gu Feiwan knew the origin of Ali. This little girl seemed to have been seriously injured and could not remember anything in the past. Her temper was like that of a little baby. She was simple and stubborn, but she listened to Ning Weizhou very much.
Ning Weizhou asked her to protect Gu Feiwan in the future, so Ali stayed with Gu Feiwan all the time. Even when sleeping, she was either on the tree outside the window or hanging on the beam.
Only when Ning Weizhou is by Gu Feiwan's side will Ali run out to play by himself.
But An Ran and Ali played well together. The four-year-old An Ran was more like an adult than the ten-year-old Ali.
An Ran took Ali to learn to read. Although Ali was a little impatient, she still managed to sit still, just to finish learning the words. An Ran would take her to see the two little leopards that Ning Weizhou had given her.
The little leopard was separated from its mother when it was young and was raised on goat milk. It was very friendly to humans.
Ali loved the two little leopards very much, and sometimes he would keep muttering, "I also had two cats..."
But if asked in detail, Ali couldn't say anything.
Gu Feiwan asked a few times, but seeing that Ali was annoyed by the questions, he stopped asking.
"Oh, this is a nice place, warm and quiet. Who is the distinguished guest in the room? Is it the princess or the prince?"
The deliberate shouting makes the woman's voice particularly shrill!
Gu Feiwan frowned, Qingshuang walked out quickly, stood in the corridor and looked at the person who came coldly.
"Oh my, this is so scary!" The leading woman slapped her chest loudly: "It's bad enough that she looks like this, but how dare she show her face?"
The people behind him echoed: "That's right, luckily it's daytime now, if it was night, I would have thought I had run into a ghost!"
"A woman's appearance is the most important thing. If her appearance is ruined, she should hide in her room and never come out for the rest of her life!"
With so much talk going on, even though Qingshuang was strong-minded, her eyes couldn't help but tear up!
Deng Ziyue's sword left a long scar on Qingshuang's face.
Although Jishidiang prescribed the best medicine, the scar had faded from its hideous purple-red color, but the mark was still there. Doctor Sun once said that it would take two to three years to completely eliminate the scar.
In the past, no one in Gu Mansion and the General's Mansion would ever stare at Qing Shuang's scar, let alone discuss it.
Being stared at and talked about by a group of richly dressed women, Qing Shuang couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes.
But Qing Shuang was always strong-willed. She tried to hold back her tears and was about to ask, with her hands on her shoulders: "Why don't you put on some clothes before going out? What if you get cold?"
Qing Shuang looked back and saw Gu Feiwan putting a coat on her shoulders and patting her: "The charcoal basin is about to go out. Ali is unhappy. Go comfort her!"
The tears that I had been able to hold back suddenly fell!
Not wanting to be seen crying, Qingshuang lowered her head, said "hmm", and went into the house.
Gu Feiwan then raised his head and looked down the corridor: "We are all women, why are you speaking ill of a girl?"
The leading woman snorted: "She is just a slave, what's wrong with saying a few words to her? She scared us, it's no big deal to kill her at will!"
Gu Feiwan's eyes turned cold: "Madam, you are so arrogant. According to the laws of our Wu Kingdom, even if you sell yourself to a slave, you are not allowed to lynch him, let alone beat him to death!"
"You are Gu Feiwan, right?" The woman raised her chin, her eyes full of contempt: "As an abandoned woman, what qualifications do you have to be so noble in front of us?"
