The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

"Mother, I'm scared..."

Aunt Xie shuddered at the thought of Xie Huai'an's icy face.

"What's there to be afraid of! He's a high-ranking official now, and high-ranking officials care about their reputation. He's risen to prominence, and even a little bit of his wealth is enough for us to live on for a lifetime."

Although Xie's mother said she wasn't afraid, her legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Aunt Xie was comforted. Yes, her mother-in-law was known in the village as unreasonable and difficult to deal with. Listening to her mother-in-law was the right thing to do!

Xie Jingshan was trying to persuade his two older brothers to let their family leave the general's mansion.

“Big brother, second brother, if this house were mine, you could live in it, but it’s not. This is Huaiyuan’s home.”

Uncle Xie patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "If you hadn't taken care of that brat back then, would he be where he is today? Besides, you married his mother, so you're his father, and this house is ours now."

Last night was the best place he had ever slept in his life, and he would never want to leave it.

Xie Jingshan said angrily, "Second Brother, how could you say such a thing?"

“I think the second brother is right. Third brother, you are living a good life now, living in a big house and eating and drinking fine clothes. You don’t know how hard we have worked on this journey. My grandson, who was also your grandson, died on the way to escape famine…” Uncle Xie lowered his head sadly.

The Xie family's arrival was so sudden that Xie Jingshan had forgotten about his elder brother's grandson. He wondered why he hadn't seen the little boy.

"how come?"

"How can you say you don't know how difficult it is to escape famine if you haven't experienced it yourself?" Uncle Xie said, as if to say you knew nothing.

Xie Jingshan thought for a moment and said, "I have some money on hand. I'll borrow some more from Huai'an later. I'll go back with you, and we'll rebuild our house. Things will gradually get better."

Uncle Xie shouted, "Third brother, have you gone crazy from studying too much? Why are you building a house? There's a house right here!"

“I told you this belongs to Huai’an, not mine.”

Xie Jingshan originally wanted to persuade his two older brothers to talk to their mother, but to his surprise, they were just as upset.

"I don't care, I want to stay here. I've never lived in such a nice house before," Uncle Xie said stubbornly.

"bang"

The door to the house was kicked open.

The three Xie brothers were startled. They looked over and saw Xie Huai'an standing at the door.

The last time Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie saw Xie Huai'an was when he was a teenager. Now Xie Huai'an is in his twenties, and because he has been on the battlefield and killed enemies, he has a fierce aura that others do not have.

Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie were dumbfounded and too frightened to speak.

Xie Jingshan saw him and went over to greet him, "Huai'an, you're back."

Xie Huai'an nodded to him, then stepped into the house.

Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie were so frightened that they hid behind Xie Jingshan.

Xie Huai'an looked at them coldly and said, "I heard you're going to stay at the General's Mansion?"

Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie Er were so frightened that they shivered. They lost their previous arrogance and lowered their heads, neither daring to speak.

Seeing this, Xie Jingshan remained silent. Since he couldn't persuade his elder brothers, he would let Xie Huai'an do it.

"Big nephew..."

As soon as Uncle Xie finished calling out to Xie Huai'an, Uncle Xie glared at him and shut his mouth.

"Third brother..."

Uncle Xie poked Xie Jingshan with his hand.

Xie Jingshan strode over to Xie Huai'an's side. Suddenly, Xie's eldest and second uncles were no longer able to hide, and they looked at Xie Jingshan with pleading eyes.

Xie Jingshan looked down at the toes of his shoes, ignoring the two of them.

Seeing this, Uncle Xie cursed Xie Jingshan in his heart.

"I'm going to find my mother!"

Uncle Xie wanted to leave.

Uncle Xie saw this and quickly followed.

"Did I tell you to leave?!"

As soon as Xie Huai'an spoke, neither of Xie's two uncles dared to move.

They turned stiffly to look at Xie Huai'an.

"Does my nephew have something to say?"

Uncle Xie looked at Xie Huai'an with fear and unease.

Xie Huai'an said coldly, "Pack your things and leave the General's Mansion."

"it is good."

After saying that, Uncle Xie turned and ran out.

Uncle Xie followed behind.

Seeing this, Xie Jingshan looked at Xie Huai'an with an apologetic expression.

“This whole thing started because of me. I’ll make them leave right now.”

"Father, do you think they'll listen to you?" Xie Huai'an's voice was not as cold as before.

Xie Jingshan remained silent; he had never had a say in the Xie family.

Xie Jingshan was the youngest child in the family, but his mother favored the eldest and second eldest sons and disliked him the most. When his father was still alive, his mother was biased but not too much. As for why he was able to read and write, it was all because of his father. After his father passed away, his mother cut off his tuition fees, and he never went to school again. He studied on his own whenever he had free time during the day.

Xie Jingshan was the most handsome of the three Xie brothers. At that time, a butcher's daughter took a liking to Xie Jingshan and wanted him to become her son-in-law. The butcher offered a generous sum of money, which tempted Xie's mother. This was the first time Xie Jingshan disobeyed his mother.

Later, after Xie's mother found out that Xie Jingshan and Pei were getting close, she went to Pei to make a scene. In the end, Xie Jingshan still married Pei. It took him seven or eight years to win Pei's heart.

Meanwhile, Xie Youwei knew that her brother and sister-in-law had returned, so she hurriedly came out of the house to go to Mingxiang Garden.

She'd had enough. Xie Xiufang was really going too far. Not only had she taken her room, but she'd also taken her clothes and jewelry without permission. Neither she, Bilian, nor Biliu could stop her.

Xie Xiufang is Xie Erbo's youngest daughter. She is a few years older than Xie Youwei. She has been unruly since childhood and her favorite thing to do is to bully her cousin Xie Youwei.

She disliked Xie Youwei because not only was she beautiful, but Pei Shi also frequently dressed her up beautifully, which made her very jealous. Yesterday, when she saw Xie Youwei wearing beautiful jewelry and a pretty dress, she was so jealous that she almost went crazy.

That night, she kicked Xie Youwei out of the room and moved into Xie Youwei's room herself. All the jewelry and clothes in the room were now hers. Unfortunately, she couldn't wear Xie Youwei's clothes, but she could wear the jewelry. At this moment, she was covered in jewelry.

Madam Pei felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter's red eyes.

"It's all my fault, I'll kick them out right now!"

Pei regretted that she had hardened her heart yesterday, otherwise this would not have happened.

Jiang Shuwan was afraid that something might happen to Pei Shi, so she quickly followed.

They arrived at Pei's courtyard.

Aunt Xie and Zhang, Xie's granddaughter-in-law, were arguing. They had taken over Pei's dressing table and stolen all the jewelry inside.

Aunt Xie said unhappily, "Zhang Cuihua, I'm your aunt, how could you treat me like this!"

“Second Aunt, you already have quite a few hairpins on your head, and this one was the one I had my eye on first,” Zhang Cuihua insisted.

"If you keep doing this, I won't be polite!" With that, Aunt Xie pushed up her sleeve, preparing to take action.

Zhang Cuihua carefully placed the hairpin, assuming a fighting stance.

"Mother! Mother! Mother!!!"
