My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

After returning to the general's mansion, Ye Qinghuan went to Fushou Hall to pay his respects.

"Mother, I saw the lotus pods were fresh and plump on the street, so I bought some for you."

"Thank you for being thoughtful." Old Madam Shen's expression was gentle, and she didn't bear any grudge at all for her provocation that night.

Ye Qinghuan felt a little relieved. He washed his hands and peeled lotus seeds for Old Madam Shen himself, and carefully picked out the lotus core with a toothpick.

Old Madam Shen was very satisfied: "I heard that you went to Huaxi Villa."

"Yes. The general left something behind, and I was afraid it was important military affairs, so I rushed to deliver it."

"Can Lin'er chase you away?"

Ye Qinghuan thought about it and didn't explicitly chase her away. He said, "No."

"Very good." Old Madam Shen was relieved. "Qinghuan, go to Bieyuan more often to see Lin'er when you have nothing to do. You just got married, so you should cultivate your relationship more."

Su Jinxiu, who was standing aside, twisted her handkerchief.

Ye Qinghuan noticed her little action and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go with my sister next time."

"No need, you can go by yourself." said Mrs. Shen.

Ye Qinghuan was secretly surprised.

Su Jinxiu is the old lady's niece, the mistress of the house who was brought up by her. Doesn't she want Su Jinxiu to be more favored?

"Madam, you don't know that the general doesn't allow me to set foot in Huaxi Villa." Su Jinxiu said with tears in her eyes.

I feel pity for him because of the aggrieved look on his face.

Ye Qinghuan: ………

She was able to stay in Huaxi Villa for so long today because Shen Lin gave her face!

"Qinghuan, it's up to you to win Lin'er's heart from now on." Old Madam Shen sighed.

The task is daunting and I just want to refuse.

Ye Qinghuan said tactfully: "Mother, since the general and Miss Zhou are so in love, why not bring her home?"

Su Jinxiu's face changed drastically.

Even Old Madam Shen was displeased: "Qinghuan, are you stupid? Zhou Niannian is so arrogant and domineering because of her favor, how can we bring her home?"

"Maybe, now that she has a status, she won't make trouble anymore." Ye Qinghuan pondered and observed.

"How can she, a wild girl from the border, be worthy of my Lin'er?" Old Madam Shen snorted coldly, "Qinghuan, don't speak for her anymore."

"Yes, mother."

Ye Qinghuan continued to peel the lotus seeds, feeling very curious.

Which wealthy family doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?

General Shen also had two concubines when he was alive!

What taboo did Zhou Niannian commit that made them prefer Shen Lin to stay outside rather than let her in?

After symbolically sitting with the old lady for a while, Ye Qinghuan prepared to go back to his own yard to rest.

I'm pretty tired after running around outside all day.

I don't know when Shen Lin's investment will arrive...

Passing by the pond, Li Lan came out from somewhere and stood in the middle of the road with a weird look on her face.

"Hey, isn't this the mistress of our general's mansion? You're busy trying to please your mother-in-law right after you recovered from your illness? Did you get the right cards?"

"Sister-in-law." Ye Qinghuan frowned.

"Don't call me sister-in-law anymore. From now on, just call me illegitimate sister-in-law! We, illegitimate children, are always of lower status anyway." Li Lan made innuendos and didn't give him a good face at all.

Ye Qinghuan knew that she was still resentful about the day she deprived Rui'er of his custody rights and almost killed him.

Whenever Ye Qinghuan thought of what happened that day, he felt uncomfortable.

So, she suppressed her temper and said gently, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong that day. I have exchanged my housekeeper rights for your childcare rights, and I will not interfere with Rui'er's appointments in the future."

"Oh, you speak so noblely! If you hadn't snatched Rui'er away, would the following things have happened? It was you who almost killed my Rui'er!" Li Lan raised her eyebrows and gnashed her teeth in hatred.

Ye Qinghuan frowned: "Sister-in-law knows the truth. If you have a grudge, go and get it. Why do you have to vent your anger on me?"

"Hmph, you can't escape responsibility either! You are all in the same group! You pretend to be nice, playing the good cop and the bad cop, you are not good people!" Li Lan cursed.

"Since my sister-in-law has determined that I am a bad person, you should be careful of me." Ye Qinghuan said and left.

It was clearly Madam Shen who wanted to harm Rui'er, so what's the point of taking it out on her?

"Ye, don't think I don't know who you are. You are not worthy of being part of my Shen family...

"enough!"

Li Lan was about to continue speaking when she was interrupted by her half-brother Shen Yun who came rushing over.

Seeing her husband, Li Lan became even angrier: "It's all because of your incompetence that my son and I are bullied. Why did I marry a loser like you..."

Shen Yun blushed with embarrassment: "My sister-in-law is a good person! If it weren't for her, would Rui'er be able to come back?"

"What's good about that? I think they are just playing a double game on purpose, teaming up to bully us... and you're still speaking for her, wuwu..."

Li Lan tore at Shen Yun and cried non-stop.

Chunyan said angrily, "Madam is the mistress. Even if she doesn't manage the household, she has the right to punish her according to the household rules."

"I am also a concubine's daughter." Ye Qinghuan said lightly, scaring Chunyan so much that she dared not say a word.

If the Shen family knew that the lady was not born of wedlock, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the very least, she would fall out of favor and end up in the harem.

In serious cases, you will be fired!

"Try to find out if Li Lan and Su Jinxiu had the same quarrel in the past?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

Chunyan shook her head: "I have heard about it a long time ago, no."

Ye Qinghuan narrowed his eyes.

When she used her housekeeper power to get Rui'er back that night, she clearly felt that Li Lan was touched. But today, Li Lan's attitude was worse than before.

It is very likely that he was instigated by someone.

The general's mansion was divided into two courtyards, the east and west. The direct descendants lived in the east courtyard, and the second and third uncles lived in the west courtyard.

The second and third uncles were both born to the old general's concubines and seldom came to the East Courtyard. Because they were all born out of wedlock and had long been suppressed by the legitimate lineage, they interacted more with Li Lan.

Was it them who instigated it? Or was it Su Jinxiu?

Ye Qinghuan was unsure for a moment, so he simply gave up thinking about it and asked Chunyan: "Is Fenghe back?"

"not yet."

Ye Qinghuan calculated the time and guessed that Feng He must have gone to report her poisoning to Shen Lin first.

Well, let's lay out all the circumstances.

If you want to take a break, take it early!

"Brother and sister!"

Shen Yun caught up with him, his hair and clothes were messy, and there were several scratches on his face. He looked very miserable.

However, he still smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. Your sister-in-law has a bad temper and was frightened by Rui'er that day. You must not hold it against her."

"Brother, I won't make a fuss today. But please understand that you and sister-in-law's situation was not caused by me. If you continue to vent your anger on me, I won't keep taking it."

Ye Qinghuan's expression was calm, but there was a sense of majesty between his words.

Shen Yun once again felt that although this fifteen-year-old bride in front of him had not officially taken charge of the household, she was already more like the mistress of the household than Su Jinxiu. The General's Mansion would fall into her hands sooner or later.

If you offend her, your life will be more difficult in the future!

So he kept saying, "I understand. I will discipline your sister-in-law later."

"Just live your life well, there will always be hope." Ye Qinghuan said.

"Thank you for your understanding, brother and sister."

Shen Yun bent down and bowed, then hurried back to find Li Lan.

Ye Qinghuan shook his head.

Who disciplines whom between this couple?

----

In Huaxi Villa, Shen Lin finally woke up.

Zhou Niannian fell on the bed, holding his hand and crying loudly: "General, you scared me to death! Wuuwu..."

"Where's the madam?" Shen Lin tilted his head, looking for her.

Zhou Niannian’s crying stopped abruptly.

"General, the lady has gone back." Yu Wu said.

Shen Lin was a little unhappy.

She had a fever and he stayed by her side for most of the night.

He was injured and had a fever, and she just walked away?

"General, Feng He has been waiting for a while and said he has something important to report." Yu Wu said.

Shen Lin wanted to sit up, but Zhou Niannian quickly held him down: "General, sleep a little longer! The doctor said you can't have a fever anymore, otherwise your life will be in danger."

"You go out and let Feng He in." Shen Lin pushed Zhou Niannian away.

"Then I'll go make porridge." Zhou Niannian pouted in grievance and walked away looking back every few steps.

Feng He came in, looking serious: "General, the lady has been poisoned."

"Who did it?" Shen Lin's face changed drastically. "You dare to touch my woman, are you tired of living?"

"She was poisoned before the marriage. Madam Ye knows a thing or two about it. She said that there is no antidote and that the poisoned person cannot get pregnant, otherwise the poison will kill her."

Shen Lin was stunned: So miserable?

"Also, Madam is not Madam Ye's daughter. She is a concubine's daughter, raised on the farm since she was a child. She was brought back a few days before the wedding." Feng He continued, "Madam has already stockpiled tens of thousands of kilograms of charcoal. However, Prince Jiang is also stockpiling charcoal..."

Shen Lin did not react at all to the subsequent report.

He only cared about what kind of poison Ye Qinghuan was poisoned with! Who poisoned her?

"General, Ye Qinglan is planning to expose the wife's background. I'm afraid it will cause a stir in the mansion..."

Shen Lin's face darkened: "Prepare the horses and return home!"
