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

Ye Qinghuan simply couldn't believe that Shen Lin could allow his concubine to have an affair with another man and have a child.

"General, is this really okay?"

"What's wrong with that? If you help her, she can still help you."

Shen Lin shrugged, looking as if it was none of his business.

Ye Qinghuan blinked and avoided the second half of the sentence: She can still help you.

After a while, she came to her senses: "It turns out that she was helping me secretly..."

"What else? Mother hasn't troubled you for a long time, right?"

"Yes."

"Now that Su Jinxiu is pregnant, mother will be more tolerant of you."

Seeing that she was almost stunned, Shen Lin couldn't help but pinch her face.

So soft and fragrant.

"General, please respect yourself." Ye Qinghuan waved his hand away and took a few steps back.

Shen Lin: …

They are husband and wife! Bai Zhi from Linlang Pavilion next door, begs him to get close to her in different ways every day.

She, on the other hand, treated them with respect, but she actually created a block of ice between them.

Only talk about business, not personal matters.

"General, when can I get my antidote?" Ye Qinghuan also felt that his behavior was inappropriate, and deliberately mentioned the heart-eating poison to cover it up.

"Counting the days, there is still a month and a half left."

"That's great……"

Shen Lin thought, she must be too scared. Never mind, let's wait until she is detoxified.

Since I married her, I must be responsible for her to the end. I can't just be a decoration like Su Jinxiu.

After that, Su Jinxiu's visits to Jinfengyuan decreased significantly.

She was very tight-lipped, and since she wasn't pregnant, she didn't reveal anything. Even Old Madam Shen was kept in the dark.

So, Ye Qinghuan didn't care about her anymore.

Bai Zhi still wanted to please Shen Lin, but Ye Qinghuan had arranged a lot of work for her. In addition, Shen Lin did not return home every day, and when he did, he would deliberately avoid her, leaving Bai Zhi no chance to get close to her.

After all the hard work, she turned into a working machine! Ye Qinghuan's OEM!

By the time Bai Zhi realized what was happening, the first snow had already fallen in Shengjing, a full half a month earlier than last year!

"Winter comes so early this year, won't the north be even colder?" Bai Zhi was thinking about the beautiful moonlight in her heart - Shen Rong, and had no intention of competing for favor with Ye Qinghuan.

Apart from working hours, I started collecting goose down and duck feathers to sew winter clothes - cotton clothes are thick and heavy, how can they be as comfortable as down clothes?

She wants to make Shen Rong feel the warmest in the world!

The General's Mansion was unprecedentedly harmonious and peaceful.

In comparison, the Marquis Changning's Mansion was much more noisy.

The early arrival of winter made Jiang Shiming more convinced that Ye Qinglan’s idea was a good one, and he stockpiled charcoal even more vigorously.

He also deliberately favored Ye Qinglan and stayed in the Orchid Garden almost every night. This made the five concubines who came in later very dissatisfied, and they often fought for his favor and love, and often complained to Mu Qing.

"Madam, Madam Ye doesn't know the rules at all. She has been occupying the prince all day long."

"Madam ordered us to expand the Marquis's mansion, but she favors only one person, so I have no chance."

"I have seen with my own eyes that the prince does not even stay overnight in Madam's room. Madam, please keep Madam Ye in check!"

"..."

Mu Qing used charcoal early to warm up Baoyuexuan. Looking at the five young and beautiful concubines who didn't know the depths of the Marquis' Mansion, Liu and Xu smiled knowingly.

Liu said: "The fact that Madam Ye was able to keep the prince shows that she is capable. You guys still need to work harder."

"What ability does she have? She wears old clothes all day long and doesn't even wear any decent jewelry. She has won the favor of the prince, but where does she put the reputation of the Marquisate?"

"It's fine if he's at home, but he's like that when he goes out. If I didn't know, I would think our mansion has fallen on hard times and can't even afford to support a concubine."

"..."

The five concubines chattered away, another round of accusations.

Mu Qing comforted them with a few words and gave them some small gifts before sending them away.

Xu smiled and said, "It is true that life becomes more interesting when there are more people."

"Isn't it?" Mu Qing lazily leaned against the couch and smiled, "Not only is it fun, but there's also money to be made."

"Madam, do you think that Aunt Ye can really make money by instigating the prince to hoard charcoal?" asked Liu.

"I think she should be able to. The Ye family has also invested money to stockpile coal, it's just a matter of how much they can earn. I hope she can earn more. The New Year is coming soon, and the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion are getting tighter." Mu Qing sighed.

A skilled cook cannot cook without rice; no matter how capable a housewife is, she cannot manage a household without money!

Especially at the end of the year, there are more places to spend money.

She was not in good health and had prepared for the worst. But now, the miracle doctor introduced to her by Ye Qinghuan was slowly healing her.

Not to mention making plans for Jiang Shiming, that useless guy, at least she should make more plans for her two children.

Mrs. Xu agreed deeply: "Madam is wise! But, what if Aunt Ye is pregnant? I heard that she is taking medicine to help her conceive."

"That means she is blessed." A stern look flashed across Mu Qing's eyes.

Want to get pregnant? Dream on!

----

At the beginning of winter, Ye Qinghuan sold all the charcoal he had to Jiang Shiming, except for the one he kept for himself.

In just two months, she earned four thousand taels of silver.

"Madam is wise. This money is so easy to make." Chunyan was very happy as she counted the banknotes.

Ye Qinghuan said: "Take out two thousand, that should be given to the general."

"The general has given all his assets to my wife, what else is there to share?" Chunyan laughed, "If my wife doesn't believe me, go back and ask the general. He will definitely not accept it."

"Whether to accept it or not, it has to be approved by him. This is the basic principle of investment cooperation." Ye Qinghuan looked at the vast snowflakes outside the window, thinking of the soldiers at the distant border.

People in Beijing can still avoid the cold at home, but the connected tents simply can't hold up.

I really want to ask Ye Qinglan how many soldiers of the Shen family army were frozen to death in the winter of the previous life.

"Madam, I heard from the people at Fushouyuan today that the Second Young Master will be back to celebrate the New Year this year. That Aunt Bai is so happy that if you don't know, you would think she is the Second Young Master's concubine!"

"She is." Feng He strode in and handed a letter to Ye Qinghuan, "Please take a look, Madam."

Ye Qinghuan unfolded the letter and became more and more surprised the more he read it: "She actually came from the Northern Territory?"

"Yes. The day the general and his wife got married was the day she set off. After she arrived in Beijing, she first met the old lady. Then she was arranged by the old lady to stay outside and secretly learn the lady's manners." Feng He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, "Madam, the second young master has ulterior motives. Let's tell the general about this!"

"Well. Since you have evidence, go tell him. By the way, here are two thousand silver notes which are dividends from selling charcoal. You can give them all to the general." Ye Qinghuan said.

"Yes."
