Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"She didn't agree?" Zhu asked sternly with a gloomy face.

"No, the young lady didn't say anything after hearing that."

When Zhu heard what the maid said, her face looked a little ugly.

The maid fell to her knees.

In fact, she had thought about coming back and lying, saying that the eldest daughter agreed. But the eldest daughter had made such a fuss in the mansion a few days ago. She also took away the dowry of the late wife from the mansion. If she reported to the lady now and said that the eldest daughter agreed to the lady, the lady would definitely not believe it.

So this is the best way to put it.

She should be able to escape today.

"Get out."

When the maid heard this, she crawled out tumbling.

After getting up in the morning, Gu Zhao went to the East Courtyard to pay his respects.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard the voices of the old lady of Xifu and the wife of the Ningyuan Earl.

"Such a big happy event, naturally I have to come and announce the good news to you, sister-in-law..."

The old lady of Xifu said happily.

After Gu Zhao walked in, she first bowed to Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin Hou's wife.

"Hello, grandmother and mother." After seeing the old lady of the West Mansion and Mrs. Duan, Gu Zhao also bowed to them.

Seeing Gu Zhao, Duan immediately spoke.

"It's been almost a month since Chen'er's wife married into the Marquis Qin's mansion, right?"

Gu Zhao didn't say anything.

Seeing that Gu Zhao didn't say anything, Duan spoke again.

"Chen'er is weak, Gu, you must take good care of Chen'er and try to get good news as soon as possible..."

Gu Zhao understood that the old lady of the West Mansion and Duan came here to show off the fact that Concubine Duan was pregnant. They also mocked the fact that the Qin Marquis's mansion had few offspring.

Hearing this, she pretended to be confused and said.

"Aunt, what you mean is that my sister is pregnant? That would be a really happy event."

When the old lady of the West Mansion and Mrs. Duan heard what Gu Zhao said, their faces changed.

"Ye'er's wife is not pregnant. She has just been married into the mansion for less than a month."

Duan explained unhappily.

"Who is the one that Auntie is talking about being pregnant? And she said it's such a happy event?"

Duan raised her chin with some pride and said.

"My niece, of course."

Gu Zhao sneered.

"It's just a concubine's pregnancy, it's not a happy event."

These words made the old lady of the West Mansion and Mrs. Duan change their expressions.

"Gu, how can you talk like that? Duan Zhen is my niece. She is different from ordinary concubines."

"Is my aunt's niece different? Isn't a concubine still a concubine?"

Hearing this, anger appeared on Duan's face and she looked at Qin Hou's wife angrily.

"Sister-in-law, look at your daughter-in-law. She has no respect for her elders. In my opinion, she should be severely punished."

Mrs. Qin took a sip of tea, glanced at Duan indifferently, and said.

"Could it be that you want me to punish the new bride to kneel in the Buddhist temple like you did? And punish her to the point of getting sick and catching a cold?"

Hearing this, Duan looked a little embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that."

"I think what my wife said is right. It's just a concubine's pregnancy. Aunt and sister-in-law, you are making too much fuss."

When the old lady of the West Mansion heard what Lady Qin said, she looked at Lady Qin. She wanted Lady Qin to speak and scold Lady Qin.

But Madam Qin ignored her.

The old lady of the West Mansion snorted coldly and stood up.

"Since you don't think it's a happy occasion, then we'll leave."

Duan also stood up and walked outside.

As they walked out of the courtyard gate, Duan said angrily.

"They must be jealous of the happy event in our house."
