My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 21: Husband’s Favor, Exploitation
It was already the next day when Ye Qinghuan woke up after his fever subsided.
"Madam is finally awake. Are you hungry? I have cooked some shredded chicken porridge. Madam, please eat some before taking the medicine!" Chunyu said.
Ye Qinghuan sat up and asked, "How long have I slept?"
"Not long after returning from Fu Shou Yuan last night, he passed out due to fever, and the maids were all scared."
"That's right. The general was also very worried. He stayed by my side for half the night until my wife's fever subsided before he went back!"
Ye Qinghuan opened her beautiful eyes wide: "Shen Lin is guarding me?"
"Yes, ma'am, don't you remember?"
Ye Qinghuan rubbed his temples and recalled.
She vaguely remembered that Shen Lin came last night and told her about her sister-in-law and the housekeeper, but she had no recollection of what happened afterwards.
He actually stayed with her for half the night?
"Madam, the general is not a heartless person. Since you have offended the old lady, you might as well get along well with the general in the future." Chunyan advised.
Ye Qinghuan stroked his forehead and lamented: "You are wrong!"
"what?"
Chunyu and Chunyan looked at each other: What went wrong?
"He's not guarding because he's worried about me, he's doing it on purpose for the old lady to see!" Ye Qinghuan sighed.
"No way? The general seemed really worried about his wife, and he even scolded the doctor..."
“It’s all show!”
Ye Qinghuan was very sure that this was just Shen Lin's trick.
Maybe he wanted her to see Madam Shen's true face and stand on his side.
Maybe he was pretending to dote on her so that everyone would point the finger at her and no one would bother Zhou Niannian anymore.
In short, they are all means.
After being treated like this by him, her life in the Shen family will probably be even more difficult.
Damn! Despicable!
Ye Qinghuan was so angry that he drank the porridge viciously, as if he was drinking Shen Lin's blood.
"Madam, what about the guards the general sent to us?" Chunyan asked worriedly.
"How many did you send?"
"Two female guards, named Feng He and Feng Yu. The general said they are very skilled and will be responsible for the madam's safety in the future."
What a grand gesture!
Are you afraid that she will die too early and can’t protect Zhou Niannian?
Ye Qinghuan became even angrier.
"Madam, don't be angry. There are only three of us, master and servant, in this deep backyard of the mansion. It's good to be protected." Chunyu said.
"Alas, that's the only way I can think of it." Ye Qinghuan sighed.
Unless she and Shen Lin divorced - that was impossible.
In her previous life, before Ye Qinglan was divorced, the Ye family asked her to go to the Shen family to plead for her and at least write a divorce letter to save some face for the Ye family.
As a result, she didn't even see Shen Lin. After struggling with Old Madam Shen for a long time, she still only got a divorce letter.
Ye Qinglan also blamed her for not doing her job well and resented her for a long time.
If she wanted to leave the Shen family, she would probably end up like Ye Qinglan: being divorced!
Right now, her foundation is still shallow, and the Ye family is eyeing her covetously. It is not advisable for her to set up her own business, so she can only endure it for now.
"Madam, do you want to meet them?" Chunyu asked.
"I'll be gone today. I'll be sick for a few days. You guys go to Fushouyuan and ask for permission to open a small kitchen in Jinfengyuan!" Ye Qinghuan lay on the beauty couch under the window to recuperate.
"The general has given the order, so we can start cooking today," said Chunyan.
Ye Qinghuan was stunned.
She had to admit that Shen Lin's move was exactly what she wanted.
With her own guards and kitchenette, she can live her own life behind closed doors.
Shen Lin's use actually made her life more convenient.
Let's just make do with it for now!
Ye Qinghuan drank the medicine, but his head still felt heavy, so he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
She didn't know how long she slept, Chunyan shook her awake: "Madam, Madam is here to see you."
"Is Madam feeling better?" Su Jinxiu had come up to her and asked gently.
"Much better." Ye Qinghuan sat up, holding the hot water bottle and asked, "Why is my sister here?"
"I heard that Madam was ill last night. The old lady was very worried and asked me to come and see her today. I wanted to come early in the morning, but I was afraid of disturbing Madam's rest..." Su Jinxiu smiled, "Madam, are you scared by what happened last night?"
Ye Qinghuan was too embarrassed to say that she got sick from taking a cold bath, so she said vaguely, "How could that be? Maybe it was because of the strong wind last night, blowing back and forth."
"So that's how it is." Su Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief. "Madam, you have just entered the mansion and don't know the complexity of it. Half-brother and half-sister-in-law are not easy to get along with. The old lady was also very sad about what happened yesterday. Madam, you must not be angry with the old lady, she loves you..."
It turns out he was a lobbyist!
Shen Lin’s “favor” has one more benefit.
"Sister, you're worrying too much. Elders are respected. How dare I get angry with my mother-in-law? I just hope she won't be angry with me." After Ye Qinghuan said this, he began to cough weakly.
Su Jinxiu quickly patted her back to calm her down: "Madam is a kind-hearted person, it is Jinxiu who is worrying too much!"
"My sister also has good intentions. I understand."
The two sat and talked for a while, and the kitchen came to ask about today's dishes.
Su Jinxiu was extremely surprised: "Madam, are you going to prepare a special meal for me?"
"It's all the general's idea." Ye Qinghuan naturally used Shen Lin to block the wind.
Su Jinxiu's eyes flashed with loneliness, and she quickly smiled and said, "Brother Lin still loves Madam, maybe he can suppress the one outside."
"Then I don't care." Ye Qinghuan shook his head, "Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Maybe in the future, there will be more people in the mansion!"
Su Jinxiu's face changed drastically: "Madam, you must not..."
Ye Qinghuan raised his eyebrows.
Su Jinxiu realized that she had said something wrong and explained, "Madam, before you give birth to a legitimate son, it is not appropriate for Brother Ling to take a concubine."
"I don't have the final say on this matter! For example, Zhou Niannian, even the old lady can't control her!"
Su Jinxiu was speechless.
Zhou Niannian is the eternal thorn in her heart!
The thought of having to take another concubine made her feel even more upset.
Zhou Niannian alone has already bewitched Lin Ge so much that she has no power to fight back. If another beauty comes along, will she still have a place to stand?
"Madam, you must give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible!" Su Jinxiu spoke softly, trying her best to hide her inner struggle.
She hoped that Ye Qinghuan could share Zhou Niannian's favor, but she also didn't want Ye Qinghuan to be too favored. Three women and one man, when could she let Brother Lin take her existence seriously again?
But if Ye Qinghuan cannot keep her position as the mistress, she is afraid that Zhou Niannian will become the mistress of the general's mansion because of her son. If that happens, she will have no way out...
"To be honest with you, the general and I haven't consummated our marriage yet." Ye Qinghuan took the initiative.
Su Jinxiu looked up in surprise.
"Look at me, I can get sick easily with just a breeze. I'm afraid I won't be lucky enough to give birth to a descendant for the general." Ye Qinghuan said calmly, "But I don't care about the legitimate or illegitimate child. As the legal wife, no matter who gives birth between you and Zhou Niannian, the child must call me legitimate mother, and I will raise him well."
"No! Zhou Niannian has long wanted to marry into the family. If she gives birth to a legitimate son..." Su Jinxiu shouted excitedly.
Ye Qinghuan looked at her: "What will happen?"
Su Jinxiu realized that she had lost her composure and explained awkwardly, "If she had a personality like that and entered the mansion, she would definitely use her son's power to gain power and cause unrest among the whole family."
"Well, sister, work harder and hope that the master will give birth to a son!" Ye Qinghuan smiled slightly.
"Me? I'll just forget it!" Su Jinxiu lowered her head with a wry smile. The deep despair in her eyes surprised Ye Qinghuan.
despair?
Could it be that Su Jinxiu is really in poor health and cannot give birth?
"Sister, do you have any difficulties?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Su Jinxiu replied in a low voice: "No."
"Then, do you need a doctor to take care of your body?"
"Need not."
Although Su Jinxiu lowered her head, Ye Qinghuan could feel her despair growing stronger.
Is there no cure? Or does it not need to be cured?
Su Jinxiu is only 18 years old this year, which is the best time of her life. Could it be that the problem lies with Shen Lin?
possible!
Zhou Niannian has been favored so much, but she has never gotten pregnant... There must be something wrong with Shen Lin.
Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect it! He looks strong and healthy, but he is just a silver wax spear head.
"Madam, the Ye family has sent a carriage to ask you to go back." The housekeeper reported.
Ye Qinghuan refused without hesitation: "No!"
"But, but the Ye family said there is something important..."
"Don't go either!"
What good things could happen to the Ye family? Most likely, Ye Qinglan was punished and went back to complain.
They didn't dare to cause trouble to the general, so they took her back to lecture her? Only a fool would go.
Su Jinxiu observed his expression and said to the housekeeper with a smile: "Tell the Ye family that the lady is ill and cannot go out."
