The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 218 The General Has No Son 2

Yan Shuya's face turned black.

Nanny Wang, who was standing behind her, wanted to speak, but Hui Niang, who was standing behind Ji Yanli, took two quick steps to express her gratitude.

"General, Madam, don't worry. Hui Niang knows that Madam doesn't like these trivial matters. Hui Niang will definitely do her job well."

Nanny Wang's words got stuck in her throat.

Yan Shuyu laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, I won't care if you beg me from now on."

After saying this, she turned around and left with a flick of her sleeves, then told Nanny Wang: "There's no need to prepare the feast. Since there are other people in charge, let's not get involved and annoy others!"

"My dear madam," Nanny Wang said anxiously, "how can you give up the housekeeping power so easily? I think that Hui Niang is not a good person. That child might be the general's and hers. She is a foxy woman. You can't let her outshine you right from the start."

Yan Shuyu also felt uncomfortable.

From the time they got married until now, when had Ji Yanli ever been so disrespectful to her? Now that he had returned from his meritorious service, the first thing he did was to reprimand her and then take away her right to manage the household. How could she possibly be happy?

"Don't worry. How can a woman from a border village win a man's heart? In the past, she could stir up trouble when I was not around. Now that the general is back, she has received the good ones. It's just a low-quality favor that she indulged on a whim. It won't last for a few days."

Nanny Wang thought about it and it made sense. After all, everyone could see how good the general was to his wife, so it was normal for him to have a woman by his side after being away for six years.

It's just that the child is a bit of an eyesore. Madam hasn't given birth to a legitimate son yet, so how could she have a bastard son? Isn't this a slap in the face of Madam?

Ji Yanli didn't care about what the master and servant were thinking.

When it was time for dinner and the kitchen hadn't prepared any food, Hui Niang simply sold out the kitchen staff and refused to listen to any explanation. She had to take care of the entire general's mansion and had to listen to this and that explanation. She didn't have the time for that.

The chef who had been cooking for Ji Yanli and Cheng Mingdu also came back, filling the vacancy. They knew the tastes of the father and son very well, and soon a delicious meal was served on the table.

When Yan Shuyu learned that the kitchen servant had been betrayed, she was so angry that she threw the cup in her hand.

During the years that Ji Yanli was away, the entire general's mansion was firmly in her control. It can be said that even if she had an affair with the fifth prince, no servant in the entire mansion would say anything to Ji Yanli.

This was also the reason why she was not afraid at all after Ji Yanli asked her to hand over the housekeeper power!

But Hui Niang sold people out right away. Does she know how to manage a household? She doesn't have any tricks to win people's hearts.

Just as Nanny Wang was persuading her, the maidservant beside Yan Shuyu came in again.

"lady……"

Yan Shuyu rubbed her forehead, which was throbbing with anger.

Nanny Wang quickly massaged her, then cursed under her breath, "You little bitch, you're so hesitant. What's wrong? Are you waiting for Madam to ask you something?"

"Madam, then, the general's wife Hui Niang brought people to the yard and said that she wanted you to give her the key to the warehouse. She happened to have nothing to do that evening and wanted to check the accounts."

"presumptuous!"

Yan Shuyu slammed her hands on the table, her face flushed with anger. "She's using chicken feathers as a token of authority and asking me for the key to the warehouse. Does she have the right to do that? A dignified general's mansion is being run by a woman who's nothing, not even a concubine. If word gets out, aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"

Nanny Wang also had a gloomy face.

She has always been the one in charge of the general's mansion. Yan Shuyu only cares about love and doesn't care about these things at all. Although Nanny Wang is also dedicated and responsible, no one knows how much benefit she has gained from it. Once the housekeeper power and the warehouse keys are handed over, her source of income will be cut off.

It can be said that Nanny Wang was even more resistant to Hui Niang than Yan Shuyu. After all, Yan Shuyu didn't like Ji Yanli, and she was only annoyed because she had lost face, while Nanny Wang had lost something real.

"Let her wait outside! To put it bluntly, she's just a servant, and she's asking the mistress for things right away. Selling her off would be the least of her worries. Don't bother with her!"

Yan Shuyu did not refute. She had no appetite for dinner, so she simply washed up and lay down on the bed.

Ling Feng's breath seemed to still linger. Yan Shuyu closed her eyes and stroked the pillow where Ling Feng had slept, and her mood calmed down a little.

When Hui Niang saw that the lights in the room were off, she went back with her people. After hearing her say that Yan Shuyu did not hand over the key and ignored her, Ji Yanli did not care and let her go downstairs to rest.

That night, after Nanny Wang went to the warehouse in the dark to get two things, Ji Yanli also went to the warehouse.

Then early the next morning, Hui Niang brought people to ask for the warehouse key.

"Madam, why haven't you given it to me yet? Could it be that while the general was away, all the things in the mansion were embezzled and given to others? I heard that your father is a reader in the Hanlin Academy. Could it be that your family is in trouble and you are coveting things from your son-in-law's family?"

After hearing this, Yan Shuyu immediately became angry.

Nanny Wang thought to herself that this was not good.

The next second, Yan Shuyu was so angry that she took action herself, snatched the key from Nanny Wang and threw it at Hui Niang.

"It's just some vulgar stuff, only people like you can see it! Take it! Go back and tell Ji Yanli that he can never come to my place again!"

Hui Niang took the key, gave Yan Shuyu a provocative smile, and went back with her people.

The smug look of the villain made Yan Shuyu very angry.

On the way back, the maid next to Hui Niang asked worriedly, "Madam Hui, will we be in trouble if we offend the Madam so much?"

"What's the matter?"

Hui Niang snorted disdainfully, "The general has been at the border for six years. In these six years, has she ever sent a letter? Even Zhang Zhuzi and the others receive letters from home every now and then. What has the general ever done with the things his wife asked him to bring back?"

"Don't even mention me. Even the men in the barracks feel bad for the general. What's more, she gave the young master a cold shoulder the moment he walked in! You don't know how heartbroken I am."

Hui Niang also had a child, but her husband beat her whenever he drank, and he also kept another woman outside, waiting to drive her away to make room. After the child was killed by that woman, Hui Niang took a knife and killed both her husband and that woman. She was originally going to be executed, but the general rescued her.

From then on, she stayed with the young master.

She had raised this little guy to this age and treated him like her own son. How could she tolerate others speaking ill of her?

"Even if the general reconciles with his wife in the future and wants to punish me, I will accept it."

As Hui Niang spoke, she felt in her heart that the general must have long lost interest in this lady, otherwise he would not have even mentioned the young master's background, allowing her to misunderstand.

The little girl didn't understand. How could anyone not like such a good man as the general? When he was at the border, many unmarried girls secretly liked the general, and many of them were bold enough to throw themselves into his arms, but the general didn't accept any of them.

The soldiers all felt that the general was thinking about his wife.

But the lady is not nice to the general.

After Hui Niang returned, she had the account book delivered and started to check it.

The general's mansion has quite a bit of property.

Whenever Ji Yanli won a battle, the emperor would reward him. This reward naturally went directly into the palace, with gold, silver, jewelry, and precious medicinal herbs being given away. Add to that the mansion's existing farms, shops, and land, and over the years, his wealth had multiplied several times over.

Hui Niang checked everything one by one and then took people to the warehouse.
