Once Wed to the Disabled General Chapter 9

The arrogant feet placed on Ethan Gu also changed his mood instantly, because his attention was now on her outrageous sleeping posture.

He impatiently pushed her legs down, but soon his arms came over.

He pushed his arm back, and the person came closer. But she didn't wake up even after all this torment. She just frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction with his action of moving away.

In the end, the quilt wrapped Amelia Nian like a cocoon. In order to prevent her from making further trouble, Ethan Gu placed one hand on her shoulder.

This finally made her calm down.

So, the next day when Yun Shu knocked on the door to wake her up, Amelia Nian frowned tightly and asked Ethan Gu, who had already gotten up and sat in a wheelchair, "Husband, why are my hands and feet sore?"

Ethan Gu simply ignored her question and said, "Go back to the main house."

"Then come back with me, my husband." Amelia Nian looked around and touched the mattress under her. "I also had a nightmare. I dreamed that I turned into a silkworm pupa, wrapped tightly and unable to move. There was a monster that wanted to eat me!"

Are the villains the first to complain?

"Monster" Ethan Gu: ...

I put on my coat and looked outside. It was still not bright yet. "Husband, shall we go to the ancestral hall to worship first?"

Ethan Gu had already turned his back, "Someone will take you there."

Sure enough, half an hour later a steward came to invite someone to take Amelia Nian to the ancestral hall alone.

It seemed that the servants of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion were accustomed to the fact that the eldest son never left Qingpu Courtyard. Since their wedding yesterday, they have been living in the main house and study for the past six months.

Qian Mama, the wet nurse who came with Amelia Nian, was very distressed. It was fine that they slept together in the study yesterday, but the son-in-law didn't accompany her to the ancestral temple for such a big event. Could it be that the girl would have to take care of everything outside in the future? Could it be that when she went to meet the Gu family, she would also be left alone?

Mother Qian thought this way and always felt that it would not be so excessive. But who would have thought that after returning from the ancestral hall and going to the front hall to meet the elders, the son-in-law would really stay in the study and not come out, leaving the girl alone.

"If Madam knew, she would be heartbroken." Madam Qian's opinion of this son-in-law was the same as Madam's. He was a girl married off to a lower class, and instead of cherishing her, he treated her badly.

"Nurse, it's okay if my husband doesn't want to go." Amelia Nian turned to ask Yun Su, "Does my husband eat the noodles that Chui Xiang made?"

Mother Qian gently poked Amelia Nian's forehead and said, "My silly girl, how can this not matter? If he doesn't value you, will the people in the Marquis' Mansion still respect you in the future?"

Amelia Nian thought about it and nodded: "No."

Mother Qian showed a look of satisfaction, but it only lasted three seconds, because Amelia Nian's next words made her feel helpless again.

"Nurse, no one in the mansion respects him either."

Is this something to be happy about?

But Mother Qian had no choice but to accompany her to the front hall in person, even if the son-in-law was not there. If anyone wanted to make things difficult for the girl, they would have to go to the Jin'an Marquis' Mansion.

When Amelia Nian arrived, Master Gu and the others had been waiting for a while in the front hall. When they saw that she was the only one coming in, there was a mixture of surprise and understanding in their eyes.

What was surprising was that the next day his wife saw that her elders did not come for such an important matter. But what became clear was that Ethan Gu would indeed be like this now.

Amelia Nian politely bowed to Master Gu and Mrs. Xu. Since they were not her parents-in-law, she could not set rules for them. After accepting Amelia Nian's greeting gift, Mrs. Xu said calmly, "In the past, Ethan Gu did not have a wife, so all matters were handled by the public. Now that you are married to him, the affairs of Qingpu Courtyard are in your hands. However, I am afraid that Qingpu Courtyard will not be able to accommodate all the people you brought with you."

There are a dozen guards and some maids and old women. The annual expenses for these people are very high, and in the marquis's mansion, the monthly expenditure of the public treasury for these is limited, so they cannot be added casually.

"Aunt, if there is not enough space, you can live somewhere else." Amelia Nian gave her serious advice, "The guards can live in the front yard, and the remaining servants and maids can live in the outer yard. That's enough."

Liu looked at her calmly, "These are the people you brought with you."

"yes."

Liu couldn't help but frown. Why was it so tiring to talk to stupid people? It was not good to be too blunt with some words. She said in public that the other party brought too many people and the Marquis's Mansion should not be defeated like this. She always felt that she was making things difficult for him.

"You are bringing so many people with you, so you must spend a lot on food and clothing." Gu Ruoqiang, who was sitting below, also showed some contempt. No wonder the eldest brother didn't come. The girl from the Nian family really only has a good face.

"I can afford it."

Gu Ruoqiang was silent for a moment, "Then you should raise them all by yourself."

Amelia Nian blinked and said, "Yeah."

Mrs. Xu coughed, stopping her daughter from continuing to speak, and explained, "Because the money outside the public house is the same for each house, we cannot give you more money just because you bring more people."

Amelia Nian nodded, "My aunt-in-law works very hard in managing the household affairs, and this is as it should be."

Xu was very pleased with what he said and nodded in approval to Amelia Nian, but Helena was not happy. Is this hard work? She was the one who came back only a few years ago, and she was the one who worked hard all these years.

So when Amelia Nian came over to offer her tea, she said with regret, "If Ethan Gu was fine, you two would be a perfect match."

"Thank you, Third Aunt."

Helena was confused, "Thank me for what?"

"My husband and I are a perfect match. Third aunt has good taste."

How can it be difficult for you to praise her back?

Amelia Nian was just about to go to Yun Suo to get the gift, but because she raised her hand too high, her shoulder was inevitably pulled, and she frowned in pain.

Gu Ruowei was concerned about her, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't sleep well last night, so my hands and feet are a little sore." Amelia Nian said as she handed the gift to Helena, "Aunt San, this is a waist protector for you. You won't feel tired when you sit with it. And this is a storybook for Uncle San, it's a rare copy."

Helena was stunned. How did she know that her waist was not in good condition?

When Master Gu San, who was standing by, got the script, he started calling her "niece-in-law" very fluently.

"Good boy, live a good life with Ethan Gu in the future and love him more." After saying this, Master Gu San put the notebook away to prevent it from being taken away by Helena.

At that time, Master Gu and Madam Xu exchanged glances, both of which were filled with surprise. What did she mean by that? Consummated the marriage?

After sending gifts to several juniors, everyone except Gu Ruoqiang was very happy, so when Amelia Nian left, Gu Mingyi looked at the ticket in his hand happily, "This kind of fighting sparrow venue is very rare, how could she find it?"

Gu Ruowei touched the embroidery on the purse and expressed her affirmation, "Sister-in-law has a good personality and is kind. She will definitely treat brother well."

"How can you be bribed so easily?" Gu Ruoqiang pinched her sleeve, "She doesn't look smart and doesn't understand what people say."

"Sister, she is our eldest sister-in-law now, you can't say that, if my eldest brother knew about it, he would be unhappy."

Gu Ruoqiang's face changed slightly, but she continued, "Big brother didn't even come to this occasion, and he didn't even accompany me to the ancestral hall just now. Big brother doesn't care at all."

This actually expressed what Gu Mingyi and the others were thinking, "Big Brother's current temper, I'm afraid he doesn't care about it."

"Sister, this is between my elder brother and his wife, so we should not interfere."

Gu Ruoqiang was so angry, "You guys have been bribed."

The four elders over there were silent together. After Helena said that they had rested in the study yesterday, they fell silent again.

I don’t know the exact extent of Ming Yuan’s injuries, nor did I see anything else.

After a while, Master Gu sighed, "If this is the case, it is a good thing. My second brother can continue his legacy and rest in peace in the underworld."

Amelia Nian didn't know that her words had been misinterpreted by others. The first thing she did after returning to Qingpu Courtyard was to go to the study to see Ethan Gu.

"Yan Jin, has the uncle had breakfast yet?"

Yan Jin looked at the closed door and shook his head. It had been sent in and had not been touched at all.

Amelia Nian called out "husband" at the door and then pushed the door open and went in.

Ethan Gu in the room didn't have time to say a word before he saw her walk in and call him "husband" sweetly.

After what happened yesterday, Ethan Gu felt that he needed to have a good talk with her, "Miss Nian."

"Husband, we are married now, you should call me wife, or you can call me Ah Yu..."

As she spoke, Amelia Nian's face turned slightly red. She had never heard the young general call her like that before.

"If you want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, let's make three rules."

"You sleep in the main room, and I sleep in the study, so we won't disturb each other; secondly, Yan Jin is responsible for my food and medicine, so you don't need to worry about it; thirdly, I reminded you that day that life would be difficult if you married into the Marquis's Mansion, so you have to bear those things yourself."

Amelia Nian, immersed in her own world, looked peaceful and quiet. Ethan Gu looked at her expression and said at the right time, "Of course, if you can't stand it and want to go back to the Nian family, that's fine. I will issue a divorce letter and you can choose another marriage." They will all be better than him.

The room fell silent. Amelia Nian still didn't speak, and Ethan Gu was not in a hurry either. Yan Jin, who was standing at the door, looked at the strange atmosphere in the room and thought about it. The general hadn't spoken to anyone calmly for a long time, and this was actually forced by the young lady.

The young lady is really not a simple person.

I don't know how long it took before Amelia Nian slowly spoke, her voice soft and innocent, "Husband, why don't you eat breakfast? If you don't eat, your stomach will feel uncomfortable when you take the medicine."

"Also, don't call me that." Ethan Gu, who was almost led astray, came back to his senses, "What do you think of what I said?"

"I didn't think about it." Amelia Nian answered quickly this time, and then asked him, "I don't agree to my husband's three rules with you."

Ethan Gu's trigeminal nerve hurt a little. "Think about it now! Otherwise..."

When meeting Amelia Nian's gaze, Ethan Gu suddenly realized that he was unable to threaten her.

"Husband, please try this porridge. It was cooked by Cuizhu over a low fire and simmered in a casserole for a long time." Amelia Nian urged him to have breakfast and take medicine after breakfast. After taking the medicine, it would be best to go out to bask in the sun. If he didn't want to, then he could open the window to let in some air. There were so many things to do.

Before he finished speaking, Ethan Gu raised his hand and swept the food on the table to the ground. The porridge spilled all over the floor, and broken porcelain pieces were everywhere.

"Get out of here!"

Ethan Gu seemed to be provocative, trying to scare her away.

Amelia Nian looked at his outburst, but she was neither afraid nor angry. Instead, she said to Yan Jin at the door in a good-tempered manner, "There are other things in the small kitchen. Go and get them. If the son-in-law continues to smash things, I will send more."

...Ethan Gu didn't understand her behavior.

Yan Jin then asked his doubts, "Young Madam, why are you doing this?"

"Grandma said that if you say you don't want to eat, then you're not hungry. Move around a little, and you'll eat naturally when you're hungry." Amelia Nian seemed to be saying a particularly good idea, and she told Yan Jin very seriously to use a hard-to-break ceramic bowl to serve the food, instead of a porcelain bowl, because it would take more energy, and after a few breaks, you'll get hungry, and when you're hungry, you'll eat well.

After saying that, Amelia Nian walked out, as if to let him go in after he was tired and hungry.

Seeing that his general was speechless, Yan Jin took the opportunity to go to the kitchen. What did he just say? The young lady is really not simple.

After bringing Clara Su back to the main house, Amelia Nian sat on the couch, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Yun Shu brought her some tea, exchanged glances with Clara Su, and persuaded Amelia Nian, "Miss, the young general is no longer the same as before, why are you still like this?"

"Yeah, what if he really smashes all the food and refuses to eat?" Clara Su thought selfishly that it would be good for the girl to divorce. Even if she couldn't find a man of equal status as the Marquis of Jin'an, he would still be better than her current son-in-law.

"He won't." Amelia Nian shook her head.

"Of course not. My son-in-law had already driven away many people who came to serve him. He would drive away anyone who came to deliver food."

"He won't smash the food." Amelia Nian's clear eyes were full of confidence in him, "He knows that food is not easy to come by, and he won't smash it again and again just to make me give up."

Yun Suo and Clara Su were stunned. Has the girl come to her senses?

But the next moment, they knew they were overthinking it. Amelia Nian actually said, "Ask the master to go to the city and get the strongest bowls, the kind that can't be broken."
