Chapter 78

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

How could General Yu know the careful thoughts of women? Seeing Concubine Mei’s smile, he couldn’t help but sigh: “If that poisonous woman is half as virtuous as you, I will be relieved.”

Concubine Mei looked cute and helpless. She tidied General Yu’s robe and belt, and smiled, and said, “The master’s words are killing me. I just want the master to work less and enjoy more good fortune.”

General Yu didn’t notice Concubine Mei’s tone. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, “Well then, I’ll go over and take a look.”

Concubine Mei said, “Master should come back earlier. I cooked chicken and mushroom soup especially for the master, and he will be able to eat it in an hour.”

The two of them said a few words, and General Yu got up and went to Mu Shi’s courtyard.

Looking at General Yu’s back, the gentle smile on Concubine Mei’s face gradually disappeared. She called a personal maid and ordered: “Go and ask what the lady is telling the master to discuss.”

…

As soon as General Yu entered Mu Shi’s room, the strong smell of medicine assaulted his nostrils.

It’s no wonder that from the night she wanted Yu Linglong to use refined scorpion blood, she had been hurting continuously. She had no injuries for two or three days. Finally, she realized that she was going to avoid Yu Linglong, and General Yu whipped her again.

The bitter Mu Shi, who was over forty years old, still had to suffer such a crime. For most of these days, she was lying in bed, accompanied by tisane. After a long time, her whole body was filled with a strong smell of tisane from head to toe. What a dreadfully cruel word it was.

At this time, she was wearing only a middle coat, with her hair loosely rolled up, and a circle of dark blue draped around her forehead made her look gray and dejected.

Seeing General Yu entering the room, Mu Shi tried to rise out of the bed and wanted to get up: “Master, you are here.”

Seeing her like this, General Yu couldn’t help turning his eyes in disgust, and his tone was very impatient: “What’s the matter?”

What an invalid. Where was Concubine Mei who was so beautiful and lovely that even looking at her felt superfluous?

Mu Shi also knew that her appearance was unwelcome. She was afraid that General Yu would not stay longer for a moment, so she tactfully did not ask for his wellbeing, but went straight to the subject: “Next month will be the day that Brother Wu gets married. I want to discuss with the master, what should I do about this?”

After all, Yu Weiwu was the eldest son of the Yu household, and if the marriage was not done well, he would lose face for the Yu household.

General Yu said, “You are in charge of these things, so you can take care of them.”

Seeing that General Yu was so unconcerned about his son’s marriage, Mu Shi almost shed tears. After thinking about it, she held it back again. This man even whipped his own daughter when she said a few wrong words, so how could he be attentive to such small things.

Mu Shi coughed a few times and said, “Then you have to make a decision about who to invite.”

General Yu was a little impatient: “Do you still have to ask me? Everyone you know will be invited.”

Mu Shi’s words were not good. He felt that talking about these family matters with General Yu was like playing an instrument, and dealing with any problems was straightforward and simple. If it was so easy, does she still need to discuss it with him?

After so many years, Mu Shi had gotten used to it. She did everything in the family, and General Yu didn’t care. If she made a mistake, it would all fall on her.

General Yu frowned. “Is there anything else? I’m leaving now.”

He really didn’t want to stay any longer in this medicinal room.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Mu Shi took out a letter from the pillow and said, “This is a letter sent from the mountain by the old lady, please read it.”

General Jade had been busy since he returned to the capital. He almost forgot that his old mother was still fasting in the mountains. He only remembered when Mu Shi mentioned it. He took the letter in his hand and asked: “How did mother remember to write a letter?”

Mu Shi said lightly: “Next month is Brother Wu’s marriage. As a wife, I always tell the old lady.”

“Oh,” said General Yu. He bowed his head and looked at it.

Before reading it, he looked at the letter and his face sank. After reading it, he immediately swatted the paper onto the table and said angrily: “How is this okay! Why did you tell mother!?”

Mu Shi was taken aback. She thought that General Yu would say something to her after reading the letter. Unexpectedly, General Yu had such a big reaction.

Thinking of the last flogging, Mu Shi couldn’t help but tighten and hurriedly said with caution, “I just told the old lady that the eighth of next month will be the day when Brother Wu will marry his wife. I haven’t said anything else!”

General Yu snorted heavily, “Nothing else? How could mother know Yu Linglong, and why must she insist on Yu Linglong to welcome her down the mountain!?”

General Yu was so angry that he was beaten and scolded by the bastard daughter Yu Linglong and lost his face. This incident was simply a shame to him. Looking at the letter from Lady Yu, she obviously knew something, otherwise, why would she care so much about a commoner’s daughter who had just entered the house?

It must be Mu Shi being the thief who cries thief who talked to Lady Yu about Yu Linglong. But how could this talkative woman not think about it? How would he claim his face as the head of the family?

He can’t even teach a daughter well, he was no match for her. How has he failed as a father?

How could Mu Shi know that General Yu suddenly thought of his own face, and he also believed that she was going to complain to Lady Yu and that Lady Yu planned to go down the mountain herself? Could the disaster General Yu created himself be blamed on her?

If there was anyone in the Yu house who was the least willing to let Lady Yu return to the Yu house, then this person must be Mu Shi. How could she be comfortable with a mother-in-law pressuring her and controlling her?

But General Yu couldn’t think that much. In this man’s mind, only his own face was the most important.

Mu Shi held back her anger and said, “I really haven’t mentioned Yu Linglong to the old lady. The old lady knew about Yu Linglong as soon as that girl entered the mansion. She even asked someone to instruct me on how to teach her. I really didn’t say anything else.”

She was joking, she was foolish, and she still complained to Lady Yu? Was it possible that General Yu had forgotten that she was the one Yu Linglong bullied the most? If possible, she would be more reluctant to lose this face than General Yu!

The couple stared at each other without knowing what to say.

After a long while, Mu Shi sighed: “Master, you know what the old lady’s temperament is. You know better than anyone. If you go against her temperament, I’m afraid…”

Why didn’t General Jade know his mother’s temperament? He only sighed after hearing this, “What can I do? Hand it over, let Yu Linglong pick up the old lady.”

Mu Shi was speechless, but she knew it would end this way.

“Then…If Linglong doesn’t go…”

Both of them have suffered from Yu Linglong’s losses. Is that girl willing to listen? Trouble was not good, and they were afraid that the house would be turned upside down again.

General Yu said without hesitation: “Then just ask her carefully until she agrees!”

After speaking, he just stood up and walked out: “One other thing, ask someone to find me at Mei’er’s!”

Looking at General Yu’s back, Mu Shi’s face was full of resentment. He didn’t want to think about his own first wife. How could he put aside his pride to ask for the commoner’s daughter? He pushed everything to her, and he didn’t even think about it. Was she still a patient!?

Mu Shi was suffocated, but she still had to call Mama Cui: “Go and ask the Fourth Lady to pick up the old lady coming down the mountain.”
