My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 46 Finally the Housekeeper
Of the nine pots of chrysanthemums sent from Changning Mansion, two were first picked for Old Madam Shen, and the second and third wives were asked to pick two each.
Yu and Qin finally got the flowers from Ye Qinghuan and they couldn't stop smiling.
There were three pots left, and they were all moved to Jinfengyuan.
At night, the moon rises into the sky, round and bright like a white jade plate.
The whole family gathered in the yard to eat mooncakes and watch the moon, and they were having a great time.
Shen Yun hugged Shen Mingrui and never mentioned his wife Li Lan, acting so cowardly.
Second Master Shen Yongxing asked about Shen Lin, and Ye Qinghuan said, "He went to Huaxi Villa."
"This..." Shen Yongxing was choked by the wine, "He spends the Mid-Autumn Festival at home every year, why is it that tonight..."
"We had an argument."
Old Madam Shen glanced at Ye Qinghuan.
He reacted quickly enough and was willing to sacrifice his own reputation to cover for Shen Lin.
She must be in love with Lin'er!
It's bad.
"Fill the second master's glass with more wine." Su Jinxiu joked.
Shen Yongxing looked at his eldest sister-in-law: she looked unhappy and was indeed angry.
The third master, Shen Yongzhi, was the most cunning. Seeing that his second brother had upset his eldest sister-in-law, he swallowed all his doubts.
It was not until I got home in the evening that I asked Yu: "I heard that Yun'er's daughter-in-law was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. What happened?"
"She slandered Ye for having an affair, and my sister-in-law got angry and beat her." Yu recalled the scene with lingering fear, "My sister-in-law is already 40 years old this year, but she is still so strong."
Shen Yongzhi: ………
I really don't want to hide it, he was also slapped by his sister-in-law when he was young.
"Ye is really amazing. She dealt with Li Lan without any bloodshed. And she is stingy! She can't get even a little bit of advantage from her fingers. She is not as generous as Su Jinxiu!"
Yu gestured as she spoke, filled with hatred.
Shen Yongzhi was not interested in the quarrels between women, and said, "During the festival, Ye Shi angered Lin Er and left, but the eldest sister-in-law didn't punish her. It's really strange..."
"Maybe Rong'er is coming back! Rong'er is the apple of my sister-in-law's eye. When he gets married, Ye will not be able to be so arrogant anymore." Yu curled her lips.
Shen Yongzhi shook his head: "Don't get involved. Only Lin'er can support the Shen family."
---
Ye Qinghuan slept very uneasily that night.
I always dream of the Shen family army fighting with the Western barbarians, with the wind whistling, blood on every sword, and the air filled with sand and corpses.
It was so vivid that it seemed as if she was there too.
After waking up from the dream in the middle of the night, my heart was still pounding and I couldn't find peace.
"Madam, it's still early, go to sleep a little longer!"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm going to look at the account book for a while. You guys go to sleep, don't worry about me."
Ye Qinghuan drank a few sips of cold tea to calm himself down and took out the account book to divert his attention.
But, I just can’t get into it.
He simply threw the account book aside, opened the window and stared out into the night.
What is the border like tonight? Shen Lin, you will win, right?
Finally, when it was daybreak, Ye Qinghuan asked Feng Yu and Feng He to go and gather information separately, especially to keep an eye on the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Madam, is there any news?" Su Jinxiu was also very nervous, and came to Jinfengyuan to ask after finishing her work.
"The border is so far away, even if there is a letter, it has to be sent to the palace first. We have to wait a little longer." Ye Qinghuan glanced at the three pots of chrysanthemums under the window, "Which one you like, move it to your yard."
"Thank you, ma'am. But, will Brother Lin be in danger?" Su Jinxiu looked anxious, with no light in her eyes.
Ye Qinghuan saw clearly: she loved Shen Lin terribly, but she couldn't get Shen Lin's love.
"I don't think so." Ye Qinghuan wasn't sure.
In the previous life, Shen Lin was not present in the battle on Mid-Autumn Night, and all the casualties were from the Shen family's army.
But this time is different.
He went to war!
Once on the battlefield, with dangers all around, who can guarantee to remain unscathed?
Just like what my senior brother said: When you are in the world, how can you avoid getting hurt?
"Madam, I'm scared..." Su Jinxiu said and started crying.
Ye Qinghuan: ………
She is afraid too!
Shen Lin is dead, who can guarantee to find an antidote for her?
However, she still had to comfort Su Jinxiu: "Don't be afraid, sister. The general is a martial arts expert, and he will be fine..."
It was not until noon that Feng He and Feng Yu brought back the news.
"Last night, the Western Barbarians attacked Fengming Pass by surprise. The general led the Shen family army to fight them all night long..."
"The Western Barbarians suffered heavy casualties. Our Shen family army won! We saved Fengming Pass!"
Upon hearing the good news, Ye Qinghuan and Su Jinxiu felt relieved.
The two of them went to Fushouyuan to report the good news to Old Madam Shen.
"It's good to win." Old Madam Shen was burning incense, her face shrouded in smoke and difficult to see.
Just like her unfathomable heart.
"Mother, the madam is so virtuous. Since she came into the mansion, military affairs have been going smoothly." Su Jinxiu was extremely happy.
Old Madam Shen glanced at her and hated her for being a hopeless case.
As for Ye Qinghuan...
Old Madam Shen waved her hand to disperse the smoke, and walked towards Ye Qinghuan with the support of Su Jinxiu.
Ye Qinghuan clearly felt that the old lady's attitude towards her was not very kind today. But she did not show it, and lowered her eyes and said, "Mother is relieved now."
"Ye, you did a great job this time. I will reward you handsomely." Old Madam Shen said, "From now on, you will be the head of the family."
Su Jinxiu's smile froze on her face.
Ye Qinghuan frowned in disdain: "Mother, I..."
"Don't refuse anymore." Old Madam Shen said, "You've been married for more than a month, and you've done a great job in handling all matters. I'm optimistic about you."
"Mother……"
"Jinxiu, bring the pair of cards and the key."
"Yes."
Su Jinxiu was unwilling, but she could only swallow her anger and respectfully presented the cards and keys: "Madam, please take charge of the household!"
Ye Qinghuan did not answer the call immediately and racked his brains to think of a reason to decline.
"Qinghuan, was it Lin'er who asked you not to take care of the family?" Old Madam Shen's face darkened, and everyone felt the pressure.
Su Jinxiu, in particular, no longer had any reluctance to hand over the power of housekeeper. She gave Ye Qinghuan a fierce look, signaling her to take it quickly.
Ye Qinghuan had no choice but to accept the cards and keys: "Thank you for your trust, mother. This is your first time managing the household, so if I do something wrong, please forgive me, mother."
"Everything has a first time, so just learn from it. Okay, go and take over with Jinxiu!"
"Yes."
It took less than a quarter of an hour from entering Fushouyuan to leaving. There was not even a chance to sit down.
Ye Qinghuan knew clearly in her heart that her mother-in-law disliked her.
But why?
How well did she handle yesterday's incident? Shen Lin won the battle today, shouldn't he be happy?
"The old lady was worried about the general last night and slept very late. She doesn't have much energy today." Su Jinxiu forced a smile and explained.
"Does my sister blame me?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Su Jinxiu shook her head, as gentle as water: "Since the day I became Lin Ge's concubine, I knew that one day I would have to hand over the housekeeping power to the mistress. Madam treats me so well, how can I have any complaints?"
"I am a naturally calm person. I don't like to compete for favor or power. I have no choice but to be the head of the family today. I hope my sister can help me more in the future."
"As long as Madam needs me, Jinxiu will be here at your service."
"Thank you."
The two chatted harmoniously, and by the time they had finished handling all the chores at home, it was almost time for dinner.
The housekeeper of Huaxi Villa came with a pale face and reported: "Madam, Miss Zhou is dying, please go and see her!"
"What does her life or death have to do with me?" Ye Qinghuan brushed his sleeves, not caring at all.
housekeeper:………
After holding his breath for a few seconds, he said, "Madam, if Miss Zhou dies, the general will blame you."
