Chapter 195 There can only be one master in the general’s mansion!
Although Cao Rui became the male owner of the General's Mansion and was on equal footing with Nu Dahai on the surface, he was actually far behind.
The relationship between Yan Ji and Nu Dahai is nothing compared to that between them, and they have a son and a daughter. As long as Nu Dahai is willing to send Xinyue away, Cao Rui will be kicked out immediately.
Unfortunately, Nu Dahai was obsessed with sex and turned against his wife, son and daughter for Xinyue.
Cao Rui then had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and successively conquer Ji Yuan and Luo Lin, turning the brother and sister from obstacles into helps.
So when he expressed his embarrassment, Luo Lin immediately took charge and said:
"Stepfather, leave this matter to me. I will definitely convince mother to stand on our side."
"My dear daughter, Daddy is counting on you!"
Cao Rui cheered for the filial daughter.
Luo Lin nodded seriously and started to act. He first found his brother Ji Yuan who was still lying dead and said seriously:
"Brother, we can't just sit there and wait for death! He is now so obsessed with Xinyue that he wants to divorce mother and marry Xinyue as his legal wife!"
"What? Divorce your wife and marry someone else?"
When Ji Yuan heard this, he jumped out of his reclining chair and said in a surprisingly angry tone:
"Mom has given so much to this family, how can he be so cruel? No, I'm going to settle the score with him!"
Luo Lin stopped the man and burst into tears:
"I just went to him and begged him on my knees, but it didn't change his mind."
"Let's think about how to save ourselves first. Once Xinyue comes home and our mother is divorced, we will become motherless children and will be an eyesore to look at."
"When the time comes, you will be sent to the frontier, and I will be forced to marry far away. We will never see each other until we die. My mother will have no one to take care of her in Jinling. What will I do?"
Ji Yuan felt his hands and feet go cold after hearing this. He fell back into his reclining chair and shivered:
"Sister, my mind is in a mess right now. Do you have any good ideas to solve this dilemma?"
Luo Lin said: "Brother, have you forgotten that the General's Mansion now has two male owners!"
"Yes, yes, stepfather is still a father. Let's prepare gifts and ask stepfather for help right away!"
After Ji Yuan was awakened, his face was full of surprise.
Luo Lin stopped the man again, his face dark and his voice low:
"My stepfather is a good man. He can't bear to see us cry. The key now is mother's side. If she is still soft-hearted and chooses to stand on Nu Dahai's side, what can my stepfather do?"
"Brother, don't be anxious. Just do as I say. Let's say this and then that..."
After the two of them discussed it, they came to Yan Ji's room.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Yan Ji sitting at the table with a blank expression.
Ji Yuan and Luo Lin looked at each other, walked up to Yan Ji, plopped, and then started crying bitterly.
"what happened?"
Yan Ji was so flustered by the crying that she reached out to help her children up.
Luo Lin couldn't get up, wiping her tears and said:
"Mother, he wants to divorce you and make room for his wife so that he can marry Brother Xinyue. He might even want to take you as a concubine to show that he is not a heartless man like Chen Shimei!"
"impossible!"
"Your father would never do that to me. Where did you hear this rumor?"
After hearing this, Yan Ji felt dizzy and heartbroken. She couldn't believe that Nu Dahai would treat her so cruelly.
Ji Yuan said anxiously, full of resentment:
"The news has already spread throughout the mansion that Xinyue will soon become the mistress of the general's mansion. Those snobs are afraid of offending others, so they only kept it a secret from the three of us!"
"Even our fate has been arranged. I will be sent to the frontier, my sister will marry far away, and my mother will become a nun!"
"..."
Yan Ji's heart skipped a beat, her vision went dark, and she fainted.
Jiyuan and Luolin were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, but fortunately their shouting attracted all the maids and servants into the room.
After everyone's rescue efforts, Yan Ji finally regained consciousness.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she struggled to get up, her face full of determination.
"Mom, you are still very weak. Why are you getting up? Lie down and rest."
Luo Lin held her mother down.
Jiyuan also said: "Mom, please don't get yourself sick from being angry. At worst, the three of us can leave this home together. I don't believe that there is no place for us in this big world."
Seeing her children being so filial, Yan Ji was deeply moved and said:
"I'm fine. Even if he doesn't want me, it's not like there aren't other men who want me. Your mother still has her charm!"
"Lin'er, quickly get your mother up, take a bath, change her clothes, and dress up."
"Yuan'er, go wait outside first. When mom is done dressing up, go and invite your stepfather over."
Ji Yuan and Luo Lin looked at each other in surprise and hadn't started to persuade them yet.
Unexpectedly, my mother was willing to cut off all feelings with a sword, abandon my ex-father Nu Dahai, and choose my step-father Cao Rui.
……
With the help of her daughter and maids, Yan Ji took a bath and burned incense, then changed into a gorgeous purple brocade dress with delicate golden patterns embroidered on the hem, making her look noble and elegant.
Her hair was tied up in a high bun, adorned with a few delicate jade hairpins and hairpins, which swayed gently as she moved, adding a bit of charm.
Although her face looked a little haggard, after careful makeup, her skin looked as white as snow, and her lips were red and her teeth were white, as if the years had not left too many traces on her, but instead added a bit of the charm of a mature lady.
Yan Ji stood in front of the bronze mirror, staring at herself in the mirror, and silently said in her heart:
"I have to do this for the kids!"
Then, she opened her red lips and said:
"Lin'er, ask your brother to invite stepfather and tell him that I have something important to discuss with you."
Luo Lin's heart ached when she heard this, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Mom, are you okay?"
"What can I do? Look how beautiful I am now!"
Yan Ji looked at herself in the mirror again and nodded with satisfaction.
Then she stood up and straightened her back, as if she had regained her former confidence and pride.
"..."
Luo Lin was speechless and went out.
soon.
Led by the maid, Cao Rui entered Yan Ji's room. As soon as he entered, he was stunned by Yan Ji's gorgeous dress, although only for a moment.
The filial daughter Luo Lin quietly left with the maids.
Soon there were only a man and a woman left in the room.
Yan Ji mustered up her courage and stepped forward, actively pulling Cao Rui's hand, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life. Her body and voice were trembling slightly:
"Master, you are the only one who can save us three now. Please help us."
Cao Rui held her hand and responded gently:
"Ma'am, don't worry. From now on, your child is my child. No one can hurt you."
Just as Yan Ji showed joy on her face, she heard the word "but".
"But I am a very domineering person and I don't like to share women with others, so you must completely cut off your relationship with Nu Dahai."
Cao Rui said firmly:
"The General's Mansion can only have one male owner, and that's me, Cao Rui, Master Cao!"
