My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 17: The Concubine's Wife Arrives
Ye Qinglan was furious. She grabbed a teacup from the ground and threw it at Li'er: "You saw that I was insulted today, so you don't want to listen to me?"
"Miss, I dare not. But we no longer have any spies in the general's mansion." Li'er covered her arm that was hurt by the hit and said aggrievedly.
Ye Qinglan was stunned: "How is it possible? I gave you so many connections in the General's Mansion..."
"Those people all resigned today."
"How could this be?"
Ye Qinglan's ears were buzzing.
With the convenience of rebirth, she made the general her own backyard and took control from behind the scenes.
I have already thought of dozens of ways to deal with Ye Qinghuan! I am not afraid that Ye Qinghuan will not have a miserable life.
Now, it's all over!
"I went to look for a few of them, but couldn't get any information out of them. They obviously hated us and avoided us. That steward Liu also said: The young lady is ruthless and will sooner or later play with fire and get burned..."
"How dare he! How dare he, a lowly person like him, curse me?" Ye Qinglan gasped in anger.
"Miss, please don't be angry. Your health is more important."
Ye Qinglan’s face, body, and heart hurt... everything hurts!
However, she still had to work late into the night and copy the house rules of the Marquis' Mansion a hundred times.
It’s all Ye Qinghuan’s fault!
One day, she will return to Ye Qinghuan double the grievances she endured today!
----
General's Mansion, Jinfengyuan
Ye Qinghuan was forced to look at the account book for half a day, which made his eyes sore.
Just as she was about to take a rest, her concubine's sister-in-law Li Lan came over with a smile: "Oh, congratulations to his aunt, you finally got back the power to run the household."
"Sister-in-law." Ye Qinghuan stood up to greet her and motioned Chunyan to pour tea.
Chunyan quickly served tea and fruit, and also got toys for the three-year-old Shen Mingrui.
Li Lan was very satisfied.
The bride respects her brother and sister-in-law, which is much better than Su Jinxiu!
"His aunt, as soon as I heard the good news, I hurried over. You should have taken back the power long ago! Su Jinxiu is just a concubine, not worthy of being a housekeeper..."
Li Lan sat down and prepared for a long chat.
Ye Qinghuan was a little annoyed with her, but she couldn't send her away immediately, so she stayed with her to drink tea.
Li Lan looked around the Golden Wind Courtyard and said enviously, "Aunt, your courtyard is so luxurious. Compared to yours, my room looks like a servant's."
"How can that be? Sister-in-law, you are also the master."
"How can I be considered the master? In this family, we are only slightly higher than the servants."
"Sister-in-law is being modest."
"I'm not being modest. You'll know if you come to my room sometime. Alas! Disharmony between wives and concubines has been common since ancient times. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law was so pregnant that she gave birth to a child before the mistress. She passed away, leaving us to suffer..."
Li Lan was complaining so much that no one could stop her.
Ye Qinghuan didn't want to get involved in her affairs, so he winked at Chunlan.
Chunlan understood and said, "Madam, you haven't finished reading two account books yet. Why don't you come back another day?"
"What? Are you chasing me away?" Li Lan's face darkened and she looked unhappy.
Chunlan smiled and said, "How dare I? But our Madam has just taken over the housekeeping today. She can only start work tomorrow after she finishes looking at the account books. I hope Madam will understand!"
"Humph!" Li Lan glared at Chunlan. "Your name is Chunlan? The Lan of orchid?"
"Yes."
"He's a lucky man, he has the same name as me." Li Lan raised her chin and snorted coldly.
Chunlan's face changed drastically, and she knelt down hurriedly: "I didn't know I had offended Madam..."
"Sister-in-law, she was a dowry from my mother's family. I didn't know your maiden name before, and I didn't mean to offend you." Ye Qinghuan said hurriedly.
Li Lan sneered and said, "From now on, you should change your name to Chunyu."
"Chunyu thanks Madam for giving me the name!" Chunlan kowtowed and accepted the new name.
Since ancient times, slaves had to avoid the names of their masters, and being forced to change their names was common.
But Li Lan knew Chunlan's name not just today. It was obvious that she came here to show her power!
Ye Qinghuan was angry, but he didn't know how to vent it.
Just when he was feeling depressed, Shen Mingrui ran out from the inner room holding something, and Chunyan chased after him.
"Young Master, you can't do that! That's not a toy..."
"What's going on? How dare a servant yell at his master?" Li Lan stood up angrily and pointed at Chunyan.
Chunyan said, "Madam, the young master mistook the ornaments in our room for fruit."
When they looked closely, they saw that Shen Mingrui was holding a large jade-carved pomegranate in his arms.
The peel is yellow and red, and the pomegranate seeds are bright red.
At first glance, it does look like a real pomegranate.
Li Lan's eyes lit up: This is a treasure! Ye Qinghuan's place is really full of good things. I have to come here often in the future, and if I can get a few of them, my life will be comfortable.
"Mom, I want this." Shen Mingrui raised his head and looked at Li Lan eagerly.
Li Lan was just what she wanted, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, your nephew likes it very much!"
Chunyan was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes, but Ye Qinghuan stopped her with a look.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. This is my mother's dowry, which means many children."
Li Lan didn't expect to be rejected, and she immediately became unhappy: "Sister-in-law, why are you snatching things from a child?"
"Sister-in-law, this originally belonged to me." Ye Qinghuan reminded with a smile.
Li Lan didn't buy her trick and said firmly, "You only have this one nephew. It's rare that he likes something, can't you give it to him?"
"No."
"You, why are you so stingy? The mistress of the Shen family is reluctant to give even a small item to her nephew. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?"
"I'm not afraid."
Ye Qinghuan still maintained a decent smile, but his tone and attitude did not give in.
Li Lan was so angry that she squatted down and hit Shen Mingrui: "You shallow-eyed thing, do you think I will not beat you to death today?"
Shen Mingrui was beaten and cried loudly: "No, I want it, I want it..."
"You little brat, why don't you let go?" Li Lan tried to grab it.
What does a three-year-old understand?
He just thought it was a delicious fruit and held on to it tightly.
Li Lan slapped him: "Let go!"
boom--
The pomegranate fell to the ground and broke in two.
Li Lan was dumbfounded, but soon continued to beat Shen Mingrui: "You want to kill your mother!"
"Mother, mother..."
Shen Mingrui's howl was so loud that it alarmed Old Madam Shen who was passing by Jinfeng Courtyard.
"what happened?"
"Mother, it seems like the little master is crying." Su Jinxiu said.
Madam Shen frowned: "Why is he in Jinfeng Courtyard? Let's go in and take a look."
"Yes!"
Ye Qinghuan held Shen Mingrui in his arms and shouted at Li Lan: "If you don't hit him, will he drop the things?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm trying to help you get your things back!" Li Lan wiped her tears, her face full of grievance.
Ye Qinghuan laughed angrily: "Did you take it? You beat and robbed the child, how scared did you make him?"
"Sister-in-law, please speak with conscience! Rui'er is my flesh and blood, I have never dared to touch him. If it weren't for your damn jade pomegranate, would I hit him?"
