Chapter 113 He has such a big ambition!
In the general's mansion, in the study.
Tang Xijing looked at the crying woman in front of him with a cold face.
"What are you doing here? How dare you leave the hospital without permission during the confinement period?"
Lin looked frail, her eyes red from crying, but the look in her eyes was sharp.
"Ahem... Ahem... General, I have something important to discuss, so I had to leave the hospital."
Tang Xijing looked at her quietly: "Since you are not feeling well, don't hang around. If there is anything, we can talk about it after you get better."
In the past, he couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw her being weak. After all, she was his stepmother, and he couldn't give her the same love as other couples. He even asked her to manage the entire general's mansion...
But after his second daughter's reminder, he felt that Lin was just pretending, and the guilt in his heart gradually faded.
What's more, she caused chaos in the mansion. If she hadn't instigated it, how could the second daughter's relationship with her father-in-law's family be so strained?
Now the eldest daughter is almost forced into a desperate situation. Most of this is caused by her, and the way she looks at her is becoming more and more disgusted.
Lin finally came to the study room once, and when she saw the portrait hanging on the wall, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes. This bitch! Even after her death, she still occupied a place in the general's study room, and even the general's whole heart was on her.
"General, if you don't tell me now, it will be too late later."
The most important thing for Tang Xijing now is how to settle the marriage of his eldest daughter. She cannot marry into the Gao family, but the harem is even worse than the Gao family, so she absolutely cannot go there.
"What's the matter?"
Lin felt relieved, as long as he was willing to listen to her.
"General, now that the marriage of the eldest lady and the second lady has been settled, Yueyue's marriage must also be put on the agenda. Yueyue is only one year younger than the second lady."
Tang Xijing got angry when he talked about this, his face full of anger: "How dare you bring it up? You dare to say that you didn't interfere in Rou'er's marriage?!"
Without the nod from the lady of the house, the servant would never dare to let anyone in, and the people from Gao's mansion would not dare to carry the box in so arrogantly. After all, his status is there, who dares to break into the general's mansion?
Lin quietly defended herself: "I was just careless for a moment, and that's why the Gao family took advantage of it..."
"——Bang!"
Tang Xijing slammed his hand on the table and said, "Shut up!" You still dare to quibble at this moment!
Lin didn't dare to mention this matter again. She came here tonight for a more important purpose.
"General, calm down, but Yueyue is also your daughter!"
Tang Xijing rubbed his brows. Lin came to the study to discuss this matter with him, and he must have had some ideas in his mind.
"Who are you looking at? Tell me about it."
He was right about one thing. The children were all his own flesh and blood. Although he favored his eldest and second daughters, he could not ignore his other daughters.
Lin immediately wiped away her tears and said, "General, I heard that there will be a beauty contest?"
Tang Xijing's pupils shrank suddenly: "Who told you that? Who told you that?"
The talent show is a national event as well as a private matter of the royal family. Who dares to gossip about it at the cost of their lives?
Lin pursed her lips and said, "Many wives of officials have already discussed this matter in private, and some have even received letters from the palace..."
Tang Xijing looked at her coldly and was surprised to find that he had never understood her. He thought she was just an insignificant woman, but he didn't expect her to have such ambition.
Lin became more and more excited as she spoke, as if her daughter had already married into the harem and become a concubine. She couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"General, why don't we send our Yue'er to the palace to serve the emperor? If she can give birth to a prince or princess for the emperor..."
"Shut up! Don't mention this matter again."
Lin was completely stunned. This was obviously a very good thing. If it really happened, it would be a great event that would bring honor to the family. Why was the general so angry?
"Why, General?"
Tang Xijing rubbed his brows and said, "A big tree attracts enemies. I hold the real power. Even if I really send my daughter in, she will only end up as a hostage."
The women in the harem are just tools used by the emperor to restrain the previous dynasty. How could it be as simple as she thought?
Lin was so dazzled by fantasy that she didn't even think about the bad things. She only thought about the benefits of the scenery.
"General, it is precisely because you hold real power that our daughter can thrive in the harem. Yue'er has such a powerful family behind her, maybe the position in the harem..."
"--Snapped!"
Before Lin could finish his words, he was slapped hard in the face.
Tang Xijing's eyes were red with anger. Her ambition was so great! She even wanted to be the queen.
He did hold military power, but Yue'er was only a concubine's daughter who succeeded the legitimate daughter after all, and the position of queen would never fall on Yue'er, not to mention that the emperor had no intention of making her queen.
Lin covered half of her face and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "General, you hit me? I have worked hard in the general's mansion for more than ten years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. I just want my daughter to live a better life. What's wrong with that?"
Tang Xijing advised kindly: "The harem is a place of troubles. Yue'er may not live well there. Moreover, Yue'er's hair has not grown out yet. If the emperor finds out, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Lin clenched her fists tightly: "Yue'er's hair was also shaved by the second young lady. My poor daughter was harmed like this. Wuuuuu... What sin have we committed... Wuuuuu..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"
Lin sneered. Everyone knew the truth about this matter. Although there was no evidence, it was clear at a glance that the general was biased.
"Isn't it clear to the general whether I am talking nonsense or not?"
Tang Xijing was in a state of great headache. He had tried all the advice he could give her, but there was nothing he could do if she continued to persist in her ways.
He could only perfunctorily respond: "Since you want to, I will submit the report tomorrow. As for the rest, it depends on the emperor's opinion."
Lin's sadness turned into joy, and she smiled without even wiping the tears from her face.
She kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, General!"
-
"Mother, does father really agree?"
Lin smiled and nodded: "How can it be false? You should be prepared to welcome the powerful and influential people."
Tang Xiyue was full of pride. She said that once she entered the harem, she would become the most favored concubine and keep the two sisters under her feet forever!
Lin looked at her daughter gently. As long as her daughter's rank improved, her own position would also improve.
Then the look in his eyes when he looked at his daughter became even gentler.
"Good boy Yueyue, it's time to go and rest, take good care of yourself, and try to give birth to a prince as soon as possible."
