Chapter 237 Swallowing the Grievance Alone
Chapter 237 Swallowing the Grievance Alone
"Yes!"
Faced with Puyang Xuan's murderous gaze, Yuan Song chose to keep quiet.
They groaned inwardly, for ever since their master and Miss Yang got together, they, his subordinates, had been running around like errand boys all over Dongli...
They chased after him from Anshun to the capital, and then from the capital to Hanlingjun. Finally, they caught up with their master and Miss Yang, only to return to Anshun...
Master and Miss Yang, riding the great white eagle, could reach their destination at an extremely fast speed, so they naturally didn't feel tired. Poor guys, they rode day and night in pursuit, and the blisters on their inner thighs were a given. When they were assassins training, which one hadn't suffered hardships...
But I can't sleep!
They just returned to Anshun last night, and haven't even finished their rounds of guard duty. Now they have to prepare a whole cartload of gifts and deliver them to the General's Mansion within an hour...
In Dongli, there are also rules for exchanging gifts when men and women discuss marriage. If you want your master to be respectable, it is not enough to just have money. You cannot make mistakes in the details. If you lack auspicious objects, it will be considered unlucky!
Those grown men have no idea what they're talking about... Good heavens! Let's just give them a good stab!
Seeing that Yuan Song only responded and did not move, Pu Yangxuan was so angry that he kicked him and shouted, "Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, Palace Master!"
Yuan Song, having been kicked, quickly went to gather his men. No matter how difficult the task, it had to be done! If it wasn't handled well, he would be in deep trouble!
Puyang Xuan glanced at the time and decided to go to the clothing store to change his clothes. Although he had just changed in the morning, he had been out in the wind all the way. When meeting his elders, he should appear in the best possible condition!
Yang Jianwu was unaware that Puyang Xuan was already preparing gifts. When she arrived at the General's Mansion, no one followed her, and her heart sank... Heh, what are men anyway! I don't care!
The guards at the gate, seeing that it was the young lady returning home, stepped forward to take her horse, exclaiming, "Young lady is back!"
"Who is in the manor?"
"Miss, apart from the young master being at the military camp, the old general, the general, and his wife all happen to be at home!"
Yang Jianwu brushed the dust off her clothes. "Okay, I understand."
Before entering, she didn't forget to instruct, "Oh, and by the way, I won't see anyone who comes looking for me today! And don't let anyone in!"
"Yes... what if I'm seeing the general or his wife?"
"They're not looking for me, so just tell them the truth!"
"Yes, miss!"
Yang Jianwu didn't like to involve others in her emotions, so she put her unpleasant feelings behind her as soon as she stepped into the mansion.
Upon hearing that her daughter had returned, Yuan Suxin excitedly ran to the front hall, "You brat, you finally know how to come home! Your father has been home for almost half a month, where have you been running around?"
Yang Jianwu quickly hid behind the chair. Every time she came home, she would get her ears pulled and her forehead tapped... Her mother loved her dearly, but her hands were a little involuntary, so she hid first as a sign of respect!
“My dear mother, I was asked by Prince Ning to help me with a tricky matter, which is why I came back late. If you want to blame someone, just blame it on Prince Ning.”
"Shut up! Wu'er, how come you're becoming more and more ill-mannered as you grow up! How dare you speak ill of His Highness Prince Ning behind his back!"
As soon as Yang Boshan entered, he heard Yang Jianwu blaming Prince Ning for her late return. He secretly blamed himself for neglecting to discipline his daughter, which led to her now daring to say whatever she wanted.
"I……"
Yang Jianwu was already heartbroken because Puyang Xuan hadn't come after her, and now she was being scolded loudly by her father, which made her feel incredibly wronged.
"I understand, Father. It won't happen again..."
"Yes, stay home and behave yourself this time. Have your mother hire a nanny for you so you can learn proper etiquette. You're at the age to be getting married; it's time to learn to be dignified."
Not wanting to upset her father, Yang Jianwu had no choice but to swallow all her grievances alone...
So what if she's a general? In terms of life and thought, she's just an ordinary person. The only one in this family who truly understands her is probably General Yang.
I reported my recent whereabouts to my parents and then went to the study under the pretext of visiting General Yang.
Yuan Suxin watched Yang Jianwu's departing figure, her eyes filled with pity. She turned and glared at Yang Boshan, "Wu'er is all grown up now, why are you being so strict with her?"
Yang Boshan, who usually speaks loudly in the military camp, had not yet realized that he had just hurt his daughter's feelings. He only felt that his daughter was not steady enough in her words and actions.
"Wu'er has been neglected since she was little, and now she has many bad habits! What she just said is enough to punish her for a serious offense of disrespect!"
Yuan Suxin thought of what her daughter had mentioned about her relationship with Prince Ning, and felt that there was nothing wrong with saying it like that.
However, Prince Ning had never explicitly stated this to their elders, and it was unclear what his intentions were in rashly revealing their relationship... If things didn't work out afterward, wouldn't that ruin his daughter's reputation...?
What's more, she quite likes Ah Xuan. If Ah Xuan could win her daughter's heart, it would be a good thing!
Yang Jianwu came to the study and gently knocked on the door. "Grandpa, are you there? Wu'er is back."
"Wu'er! Come in quickly!"
General Yang was reading a book when he heard his granddaughter's voice. He immediately put the book aside, stood up, and went to greet her, "Wu'er, my dear granddaughter!"
Yang Jianwu quickly helped General Yang up, and naturally placed her hand on his wrist to take his pulse. Apart from the physical weakness caused by old age, he was otherwise fine.
"Grandpa, Wu'er misses you very much!"
