Chapter 160: Feeling Sick
Seeing that Han Yiyi was about to refuse, the nanny beside her quickly spoke up in agreement.
"Miss, please don't refuse. This is a token of our lady's love..."
Seeing that the old lady was so determined, Han Yiyi stopped refusing.
However, Han Yiyi had no intention of really accepting it. She thought about returning it to Nangong Yuan when she left. After all, what she lacked the least now was points. There were still 25 million points in the system.
Seeing Han Yiyi accept the bracelet, Madam Nangong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she thought about what to say, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. After all, she and Nangong Ling were a young couple, and she naturally hoped that Nangong Yuan could stay with the person he loved until old age. But when she thought of Han Yiyi's divorced status, she still spoke.
"Miss, I have something to discuss with you..."
Looking at the expression of Old Madam Nangong, Han Yiyi guessed that she might want to tell him about the two children. Thinking of the dream he had just had, his eyes darkened, but he still forced a smile and spoke.
"Madam, please speak..."
Old Madam Nangong first glanced at the nanny beside her. The nanny understood and hurriedly led the servants out of the inner room.
Seeing that everyone had left, Old Madam Nangong spoke softly.
"Miss, Ye Yi told me everything about you. It's really hard for you to take care of two children alone these years. According to the rules, you gave birth to the eldest grandson of our Nangong family, so you should be the eldest daughter-in-law of our Nangong family, but you were divorced..."
"Madam, I..."
"Miss, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say first..."
Han Yiyi thought that Madam Nangong wanted to talk to her about the two children, but she didn't expect that she wanted to talk about her. She decided to leave and wanted to explain to the old lady, but she was interrupted by Madam Nangong as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Of course, I don't mean to look down on you, young lady. On the contrary, I feel very sorry for you. But you also know that Yuan'er is a general of Beichen after all. If it gets out that the wife of the great God of War Beichen is a second-married woman who was divorced by a scholar, his reputation..."
In fact, Old Lady Nangong could accept that Nangong Yuan’s wife was a commoner, but she could not accept that she was an abandoned woman who had remarried. After all, in her opinion, this was related to her grandson’s reputation.
Madam Nangong Han Yiyi lowered her eyes slightly, thinking that she had heard what she said, and she couldn't help but continue to speak with some relief.
"Of course, our Nangong family will not treat you unfairly. Although we cannot give you the status of the main wife, you can marry into our Nangong family as a co-wife. This way, it will not affect Yuan'er's reputation. What do you think..."
After hearing what Old Lady Nangong said, Han Yiyi thought to herself, so what? Of course it's nothing. A co-wife, to put it bluntly, is still a concubine.
However, Han Yiyi could fully understand what Old Lady Nangong did. If it were him, in order not to affect the reputation of the Nangong family, he would probably want to kill the mother and keep the son. From this point of view, this old lady was much kinder than himself.
But even though she understood it, she could not accept it. Even if she was made the legal wife, she could not accept that her husband had another woman by his side, let alone making her a concubine.
Han Yiyi thought so, but she didn't show it on her face. After all, she was going to leave, and no matter what she said now, it would only make the other party think that she wanted the position of the legal wife. So she nodded slightly and spoke.
"I understand what the old lady means, and I understand her painstaking efforts..."
She originally thought that it would be difficult to persuade Han Yiyi, but she didn't expect him to be so sensible. When she heard Han Yiyi say this, Old Lady Nangong was even more delighted. She quickly raised her hand, took off a jade hairpin from her head and put it into Han Yiyi's hand.
Looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist and the jasper hairpin in her hand, Han Yiyi felt a mixture of emotions. She was thinking, if it were the original owner, she would probably stay in the general's mansion, but she...
However, when Han Yiyi thought about being separated from her two children, she felt a lump in her heart.
After that day, Zhirou was only locked up in the woodshed for two days before she confessed everything. After all, these people were selected by her herself, and they were all daughters of officials. Therefore, Madam Nangong did not punish her any further, but took the opportunity to send everyone back.
Han Yiyi looked at the bitter medicine soup brought in by the servant, and her brows were furrowed enough to pinch a fly to death. In fact, there were western medicines for relieving wind and cold in the system, but Han Yiyi also knew that compared with western medicine, Chinese medicine was definitely more effective in removing the root cause. For the sake of her own body, she could only pinch her nose and put the medicine into her mouth.
These days, she has been living in Nangong Yuan's yard. The two children have now started taking classes with the teacher and will come to see her when they have time.
Hearing the two children excitedly saying how interesting the teacher's lectures were, and that he not only taught them the Four Books and Five Classics, but also taught them how to play chess and the piano, Han Yiyi couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
The two children were assigned more and more courses, and they had less and less time to come and see Han Yiyi. Every time they came, they would excitedly talk about what they had learned. Han Yiyi knew that they were also enjoying it, so she thought that it was time for her to break away.
But thinking of the one thousand taels of silver he had spent in Yanlang City, Han Yiyi couldn't help but feel distressed again. Really, the child was gone, and even the money was gone...
Because Han Yiyi had used the excuse that the grain she bought was from bandits, the court would naturally not report it to her. Therefore, Nangong Yuan planned to return to Kyoto and use the silver from the general's mansion to repay Han Yiyi.
However, because of the two attempts to raise military rations, the general's mansion sold almost all of its belongings, so there was no money left to return to Han Yiyi.
So now, Nangong Yuan would go to the palace every day, crying poor to Emperor Beichen and asking for money, saying that the General's Mansion was so poor that they could barely make ends meet...
Whenever Emperor Beichen saw the empty Duobao Pavilions, his heart ached. Now, seeing this guy actually coming to him to cry poor, he refused to see him and directly ordered people to drive Nangong Yuan out.
But when Nangong Yuan was driven away, he left, and came back the next day. He was driven away the next day, and came back the third day...
Emperor Beichen was completely entangled, and of course he also knew that if the General's Mansion hadn't been involved in this food and grass issue, Yanlang City would have been lost...
The reason why he drove people away again and again was because he really loved his "treasures".
However, in the end, he ordered people to redeem all the things that had been pawned from the General's Mansion and returned them to the General's Mansion. Not only that, he also rewarded them with another 10,000 taels of silver. Naturally, Han Yiyi's share of saving him was not left out and was also rewarded with 10,000 taels.
