Sai Duo let out a long breath, truly worthy of being her daughter, knowing how to protect her mother in any situation!
In her eyes, the General never meddles in matters of the inner court, no matter how the women fight and fuss, his method of handling is always: letting things be.
Even if her daughter casually drags Lian Qiao down, the General wouldn’t know.
She was quite pleased with herself.
Who knew the man would snort coldly and actually laugh.
Yelyu Lie instructed the nurse outside to take the little girl away, only speaking coldly after the room was left with just adults, "Sai Duo, have I indulged you too much? In memory of A Mu dying on the battlefield, I took in his widow for him, yet in the end, I turn out to be the villain."
Sai Duo was not Yelyu Lie’s woman at all.
Five years ago, her husband tragically died on the battlefield, his last wish was for Yelyu Lie to take care of his pregnant wife.
Yelyu Lie brought Sai Duo to the General Mansion shortly after, and the child was born.
No one in the General Mansion knew Sai Duo wasn’t Yelyu Lie’s woman, and since she was the first to bear a child, they treated her with great respect.
Sai Duo feared if others learned her true identity, all the preferential treatment would vanish.
So she wept to Yelyu Lie, fearing her child would be bullied without a father from a young age.
Yelyu Lie was unaware of her manipulative intentions; A Mu was his good brother, and his brother’s child was like his own, his brother’s wife... was still his wife.
Yelyu Lie promised to take care of Sai Duo until she found a lover, and if she didn’t want to remarry and take the child, the child could stay in the General Mansion, as long as she grows up safely.
But what Yelyu Lie did not expect was that this woman didn’t stay quiet for long; while he traveled to the border, she flashed her power around the General Mansion as the rightful Madam.
As time went by, she really considered herself the General’s wife.
Upon hearing that Yelyu Lie killed that egg-laying hen just to supplement a woman from the Central Plains, she flew into a rage and took her daughter to discipline the vixen.
Who knew, after enduring for so many years without revealing her identity, Yelyu Lie suddenly and mercilessly exposed her!
Outside, a few little maids hiding and watching the drama were shocked beyond measure.
Sai Duo, frightened, didn’t care that her daughter was taken by the nurse, hurriedly closed the door, and tearfully complained, "General! Didn’t you say you would take care of us mother and daughter for life? When A Mu died..."
"So, you do remember A Mu," Yelyu Lie interrupted with a cold laugh, "From now on, you are forbidden to set foot in this courtyard again, or else pack up and get out!"
Yun Chunnuan observed quietly, nose to heart, trying hard to minimize her presence.
From their simple conversation, she realized that this troublemaking woman, including the child, did not belong to the wild General.
Moreover, he seemed much kinder than he appeared...
But when he gets angry, he is truly terrifying!
As soon as he spoke, Yun Chunnuan shivered with fright.
Sai Duo knew Yelyu Lie was genuinely angry and dared not say more, her gaze fell on the blindingly pale Central Plains woman on the bed, her eyes filled with inexplicable resentment.
"Keep glaring, and your eyeballs will be dug out!"
Yelyu Lie, not blind, naturally saw Sai Duo’s malice.
Without hesitation, he stood by his delicate Little Princess, "Great Xia Country’s Seventh Princess, if anything happens in the General Mansion, Sai Duo, you’ll be the first to accompany me to the grave."
Sai Duo: "?!"
She just wanted to defend her name!
How did it turn out that, instead of clearing her name, she got herself into such a mess!!!
