Chapter 161 There are 5 Concubines
"She did this just to win my forgiveness."
Sun Youliang sneered, "It's a good thing that the vicious woman is dead.
Go and pass on the master's order to the other concubines in the general's mansion, telling them to stay safe and not to covet things that don't belong to them!
If anyone dares to object, send them back to the manor immediately. I don’t want to see any of them in this world!"
The butler bowed and agreed, then left quickly.
Sun Youliang stayed alone in the empty room for a long time before he slowly stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out.
The housekeeper confirmed Aunt Cui's body again and again before dragging it to the chaos post and burning it with firewood.
As for Aunt Cui's will, it was given to Sun Youliang by a servant.
He didn't look at it because he didn't want to touch anything related to Aunt Cui anymore.
The only thing Sun Youliang is worried about now is his son Sun Bowu and daughter Sun Boyu.
Aunt Cui is dead, and Bo Wu is in the military camp at the border. I wonder if that boy will blame me for being cold-blooded?
Put yourself in his shoes. If someone touched his child, would he be able to remain indifferent?
For the sake of peace in the family, I must find a way to drive all those restless concubines out of the general's mansion!
Thinking about Aunt Cui's death, Sun Youliang felt filled with resentment.
You did something wrong and it would be fine if you don't repent, but you actually want to embarrass me by dying?
I was also stupid when I was young. Why did I take so many concubines?
Are you making things difficult for yourself?
Fortunately, few of them left behind any children.
Except for Aunt Cui who gave birth to a pair of children, among the other five concubines, only the third concubine Ruan Mengyun gave birth to a daughter.
Now that she is married, the third concubine should stay in the mansion for the time being, and the other concubines should be sent away.
It would be fine if he had only one concubine, but he actually has five or six!
This is simply asking for trouble!
In fact, most of these concubines were given to him by officials who wanted to have a good relationship with him and gave him their own concubines and sisters.
He was away fighting wars all year round, and he had several concubines, but he hardly even touched them a few times. It would be strange if they had children!
The more Sun Youliang thought about it, the more upset he felt.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Aunt Cui said before she died:
"General, please don't forget that it was because of my confusion that I did something that let you down.
If it weren't for me, the general wouldn't be temporarily idle at home. I am responsible for this even if I die!"
In an instant, Sun Youliang's expression turned gloomy.
Over the years, he has never forgotten what happened on Aunt Cui's bed that day.
At that time, he was only concerned with enjoying himself and didn't think too much about it.
Thinking about it now, I was really too stupid and too selfish at that time.
The death of Aunt Cui undoubtedly caused a huge uproar in Sun Youliang's heart.
Thinking about those disgusting past events, Sun Youliang felt a tightness in his chest.
……
Yuyang County.
After Chen Qingxin and his sister had eaten and drunk their fill at Hengyuan Restaurant, they got up and prepared to leave.
The diners and restaurant owner who got the benefits bowed to the brother and sister and said a lot of nice things to them as if they were free.
The brother and sister smiled and waved to everyone, then disappeared in a flash.
"Sister, you were so domineering just now!" Chen Qingwen looked at her with admiration.
Chen Qingxin smiled dotingly at his second brother: "My brother is not bad either!"
The boy scratched his head, laughed and asked, "Eldest sister, where are we going next?"
Chen Qingxin took out an account book and waved it in front of his brother:
"Fu Man Yuan. Qing Wen, I hope that only you and I know about the fact that Fu Man Yuan is registered under Qing Ying's name."
"Why, elder sister? Do you want to do good deeds without leaving a name?" Chen Qingwen really didn't understand what his elder sister was up to.
Chen Qingxin raised his hand and tapped him lightly on the head:
"Are you stupid? What do you mean by doing good deeds without leaving your name?
Is your eldest sister so noble?
You are still young and don’t understand some things.
I do this because I don't want to raise an ungrateful person.
Xiaoying is only 5 years old now and doesn’t know anything, so we can’t give her too much.
What if I raise her heart and she doesn't work hard and just keeps asking for things? "
"Then isn't elder sister worried that if she gives Binhu Garden to Qingwen, she will also raise a little white-eyed wolf?" Chen Qingwen curled his lips and smiled slightly, blinking at his elder sister.
Chen Qingxin shook his head solemnly:
“You are different from her because although you are only 7 years old, you have already received the inheritance from the master.
I believe in Master’s vision.
Since the master is willing to accept you as his disciple, he must have thoroughly investigated your past life, present life, and even your future life.
Besides, my elder sister believes in you and is sure that you are a sensible person.
The most important point is..."
She kept it a secret on purpose.
Chen Qingwen was listening with great interest, but nothing more happened.
He looked at Chen Qingxin with resentful eyes: "Sister, what's the key? Tell me quickly!"
“As the head of the family, you must have some industry to support yourself.
Doing business is not beneficial to your imperial examination, so the only thing you can do is land.
You are a boy. When you grow up, you should become a man who stands tall and upright.
For the sake of this family, you have to stand up.
So, I, the eldest sister, will set up the stall for you first, and I believe that you have the ability to manage your own estate.
This is all I can do. The path has been pointed out, and the way and method have been given.
If you just follow the instructions and still can't do it well, then the eldest sister can only laugh twice."
Chen Qingwen bent down and bowed to his elder sister:
"Don't worry, elder sister. Qingwen will definitely live up to your expectations and learn how to manage the manor without affecting his studies."
Chen Qingxin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, if you don't understand something, you can ask me at any time.
As for Fumanyuan, even if it is handed over to Qingying, we have to wait until she is at least 10 years old.
If she grows up crooked and becomes an ungrateful person, I will keep her for myself.
According to experience, not all sisters can live in peace, and not all people can consider others and their families, don’t you think?
It’s not that the eldest sister is cunning, it’s just the way it is.
Therefore, as brothers and sisters, as long as we have tried our best, there is nothing we can do even if we cannot love each other in the end.
Didn't you hear it?
What did Xiao Qingwu say that day?
The eldest sister heard it and found out that our mother was forced to live outside because of her own elder sister.
It’s not that I think badly of people, facts speak louder than words.
Therefore, we must do our best to guide our brothers and sisters, support each other, and love each other.
It must not be allowed to grow crooked or sideways.
Sometimes when the eldest sister is not at home, if you encounter any problems, you must nip them in the bud.
The same goes for you. You need to be grateful, know when to advance and retreat, and be enterprising. Don’t you understand?
The eldest sister doesn’t expect any repayment from you in the future, as long as you don’t become a burden and can support the family, that’s enough.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether this family is supported by you or not, because I can do it too.
Do you believe that your elder sister can help you pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer?
I can even let others take the top exam in front of me.
But, my eldest sister likes farming now and doesn’t want to live a life of fighting and killing, do you understand? "
