Chapter 173: General Gu Hui of Guide
If you take it back, what will I, Liu Yiyi, mean in the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion?"
Liu Yiyi looked at Xue Wanxian, her eyes full of grief and her voice a little hysterical.
"Yi Yi, you will be my wife, the lady of Lin'an Marquis's Mansion, and Zeming's mother. Isn't that enough?" Xue Wanxian was very puzzled by Liu Yi Yi's intense reaction.
Liu Yiyi saw that he looked indifferent. What he said made it seem as if he had already given her a lot and she was being ungrateful if she refuted him like this.
Liu Yiyi clenched her fists and took a long breath.
"How about this, Lord Marquis, let me handle Zhang Qingsha's coming-of-age banquet this time. When the time comes, you can see how it goes and see how capable I am. If you think I haven't handled everything well, how about taking back the stewardship?
At that time, I will have absolutely no complaints and will willingly hand it over, then calm down and learn how to be a housekeeper again."
Liu Yiyi took a step back. She knew in her heart that Xue Wanxian had already made up his mind when he said this. No matter what she said, it would be in vain. It would be better for her to take a step back and leave some wiggle room for both sides.
When Xue Wanxian heard Liu Yiyi say this, he fell silent. He had always felt that taking away the power of housekeeper all of a sudden would be a bit bad for Liu Yiyi.
According to what she said, it is not impossible.
"Well, then, this matter is settled. We can discuss this matter again after the coming-of-age banquet, okay?" Xue Wanxian softened his smile.
"Okay, Marquis, Yi Yi understands." Liu Yi Yi showed gratitude on her face.
"Yi Yi, since you are busy, then continue looking at the account book. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Xue Wanxian stood up from the chair, walked up to Liu Yi Yi, patted her shoulder, then turned and left.
As soon as Xue Wanxian walked out of the door, the smile on Liu Yiyi's face immediately disappeared without a trace.
There was a ruthless look in her eyes. Zhang and Nanny Chen were so old, yet they still coveted these rights. It was ridiculous.
He glanced at the chair where Xue Wanxian had just sat, and thought of the dissatisfaction he expressed towards him in his words, and he could not hide his anger.
He ordered someone to take the chair out and throw it in a corner of the yard. He then pulled another chair and placed it in front of the table to continue looking at the account book.
However, because of what happened just now, she couldn't calm down, and the account book in front of her was a mess.
The more Liu Yiyi thought about it, the angrier she became, so she threw everything on the table to the ground.
"Mrs. Zhang, Madam Chen, I will never let you go."
When people get old, they should have a good rest. Why do they keep meddling in other people's affairs?
A hint of viciousness flashed across Liu Yiyi's eyes. She returned to her inner room and took out a small wooden box from the bottom cabinet of her dressing table.
"And An Qingqian, even though she has left here, Xue Wanxian still can't stop thinking about her. She is not a good person either."
The person that Liu Yiyi secretly hated was now sitting leisurely in front of the dressing table, while Yingyi was dressing her up.
"Miss, this sandalwood hairpin looks really beautiful on you." Yingyi put the last piece of jewelry on An Qingqian and looked at the person in the bronze mirror with excitement on her face.
An Qingqian smiled without saying anything. This hairpin was exactly what Shi Qiuwu had given her before.
"Hey, miss, where did this jade pendant come from? It's so exquisite and luxurious." Yingyi was tidying up things on the dressing table and accidentally found a jade pendant inside.
An Qingqian looked up and saw that the jade pendant in Bo Yun's hand was also given to him by Shi Qiuwu.
"A friend gave it to me." An Qingqian did not explain much.
Yingyi followed An Qingqian's gaze and looked in that direction. The jade pendant was indeed as Boyun said, a luxurious object with a Qilin carved on it. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item.
She took a look at the jade pendant, then looked at An Qingqian, and immediately guessed the origin of the jade pendant.
Bo Yun also noticed the Qilin on the jade pendant, but she didn't know about An Qingqian and Shi Qiuwu, so she didn't think much about it.
"Miss, in seven days, the general will have to return to the border." Yingyi helped An Qingqian stand up.
"Yeah, Daddy is leaving again soon."
When talking about this, An Qingqian's eyes were full of loneliness. They had been together for a short time, and she had finally seen her father, but now they had to part again.
I don’t know when we will meet again.
Originally, An Zhenyuan was going to return to Beijing and leave after the New Year, but he specifically told the emperor that he wanted to spend a few more days with his daughter, so he planned to wait until after the Lantern Festival before leaving.
The emperor was grateful for his contribution and thought that he only came back once every few years, so he agreed to this matter.
Although I am in Beijing, I still have to deal with a lot of things every day.
"Let's go and see daddy." An Qingqian quickly put away her sadness.
Her father was a general with great ambitions. He was shouldering the responsibility of protecting the world, so it was understandable that he could not always be with his family.
Besides, this time, An Zhenyuan has been with her for a long time, and she is very satisfied.
As long as everything is fine, we will definitely have the chance to meet again in the future.
An Qingqian brought Yingyi to An Zhenyuan's yard, but saw two guards standing in front of his door.
An Qingqian stopped and knew that something important must be said inside, so she glanced at Yingyi and the two prepared to leave.
However, just as the two turned around, they heard the sound of a door opening behind them, followed by the sound of two people talking.
An Qingqian subconsciously turned around. She didn't recognize the other person, but he was also dressed as a military general. He should be An Zhenyuan's friend or subordinate.
"Qianqian, come here." An Zhenyuan waved to his daughter.
An Qingqian walked slowly forward and looked at his father suspiciously.
"Gu Hui, this is my daughter Qianqian." An Zhenyuan stroked his beard and introduced her to another person with a smile.
"Qianqian, this is Daddy's friend, his name is Gu Hui."
"Qianqian greets Uncle Gu." An Qingqian bowed obediently.
Gu Hui is also a friend of my father, that is General Guide.
General Guide was a third-rank official. Although he had no real power, he had dedicated most of his life to the Ling Dynasty. Now that he was old and in poor health, he was recuperating in his own mansion.
Gu Hui also has a high reputation in the capital. He is on good terms with many ministers and is loyal and upright. He is a good man.
"Qianqian has grown up so much. I still remember the last time I saw you was when you were six years old. You were very pretty back then, and now you are even more dignified and generous."
