The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Li Xianglian held the account book in her hand and looked down. When she heard the noisy sound in the yard, she became a little impatient.

"Qiu Wen, go check what's going on outside? They're becoming more and more unruly!"

A young woman with her hair done in a lady's style and dressed in a maid's attire straightened up and said, "Yes, auntie." She agreed and walked out.

Li Xianglian didn’t sleep well last night. She felt dizzy when she woke up in the morning, and the numbers in the account book looked like ghost stories.

After Yan Jie'er came back, she told her what happened at the Song family. She thought Zheng and Gu Jinchu would get angry as soon as they came back, but she didn't expect that she would come out angrily again when she heard that the master had gone to Moxiangju.

She has gotten to know Zheng's character to some extent over the years, but so what? Zheng owes her!

Thinking of something, hatred surged on Wenwan's face.

When Qiu Wen opened the door, she saw that it was the Third Miss who came up with her men to fight and kill. She was so scared that she hurried back to report it.

Upon hearing this, Li Xianglian hurriedly hid the account book in her hand, but then she calmed down.

Gu Jin was much easier to deal with when she first arrived. Although she had some changes recently, it couldn't change her violent and stupid nature.

In the yard, Tingyuxuan's maids and servants knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

Several guards wearing short robes and long boots were guarding the entrances and exits of the yard.

This was simply a slap in her face. Even after Zheng came into the family, she had never had a falling out with her like this.

Seeing Gu Jinchu looking over, Li Xianglian smiled as usual, rolled up her sleeves and said:

"In broad daylight, Miss San brought a man to the backyard. Isn't this a bit against the rules?"

Gu Jinchu did not miss the flash of green under her sleeves and looked at Li Xianglian with a smile:

"I know that Aunt Lian is the most disciplined. So tell me, as your father's eldest daughter, Ting Yuxuan, a little maid who was sweeping the floor, bumped into me, and I just let her do what she wanted?"

As she spoke, she looked down at the whip in her hand, "She is just a slave, she can't recognize her own identity, who gave her the courage?"

These words were so ruthless and indirect, that Li Xianglian could hardly keep the smile on her face.

"Miss Third, what are you talking about? Leave the maids in my yard to me..."

Snapped--

Before she could finish her words, Gu Jinchu raised his hand and slapped her in the face, causing her head to tilt and she took two steps back. Half of her face quickly swelled up with several finger marks.

Li Xianglian covered her face and looked up at Gu Jinchu. Her servants from Tingyuxuan, the maids and servants from Sui'antang, and the guards were kneeling beside the bluestone path. Under the eyes of these people, she was beaten by Gu Jinchu!

She, Gu Jinchu, a girl who had not even reached marriage age, actually dared to slap her in the face!

This was the second time she felt humiliated, and it was even worse than the last time, and the anger in her heart was burning.

Gu Jinchu grasped his sleeve and turned his wrist, speaking nonchalantly:

"Like master, like servant. Aunt Lian, you are telling me the rules, so I will let you know what the rules are!"

Li Xianglian closed her eyes. Gu Jinchu had always been arrogant and domineering.

This time he brought the security guards with him just to cause trouble for her. Maybe he wanted to vent his anger from yesterday on her.

They were outnumbered and she couldn't afford to suffer a loss. When she opened her eyes again, all the emotions in her eyes were restrained.

He bowed and said, "I don't know if this slap can calm Miss San's anger. Why don't I release my maids and servants first? They were implicated by me and suffered misfortune."

Gu Jinchu was about to clap his hands to cheer her on. Li Xianglian always looked like she was not interested in worldly matters and always cared about everyone.

He looked at her with a smile and said in a brisk voice: "If Aunt Lian kowtows to me and apologizes now, it can still make up for the crime you committed."

Li Xianglian's face turned pale. Kowtow and apologize? How could she, Gu Jinchu, say that?

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Miss San, are you sure you want to humiliate me like this?"

Gu Jinchu raised his chin and looked at her, smiling, "Humiliate you? Do you think this is a humiliation?"

"Gu Jinchu!" A girl's soft yet sharp voice came from behind.

Gu Yan walked over quickly and saw the fingerprints on her mother's face. The timid expression on her little face disappeared.

"Third sister, you don't respect my mother on a daily basis, but she is my father's concubine after all. Your behavior is really too much!"

Gu Jinchu looked at the angry expression on his concubine's face, then turned to look at Li Xianglian beside her, "Is this the rule that Aunt Lian mentioned?"

"Gu Yan is a concubine's daughter. She is rude to her elder sister and calls a concubine "mother". This is disrespectful to her mother. It is really unfilial. Aunt Lian, you have educated her well!"

As she said this, she clapped her hands twice and looked at the mother and daughter with a smile on her face.

Gu Yan is young and realized that she had gotten into trouble when she came back yesterday. She slept uneasily that night.

Seeing her biological mother being beaten, she became completely at a loss, "You, you are just relying on your status as a legitimate daughter to bully me and my aunt!"

Gu Jinchu looked at them coldly and said softly:

"Since Fourth Sister and Aunt Lian both think I'm bullying people, let's find a place where we can reason. How about we go to Grandmother to seek justice?"

When Gu Yan heard this, a smile appeared on her face. Her grandmother loved her and was also her biological mother's aunt, so they were closely related.

He lowered his head and pulled up Li Xianglian, looking like he had been wronged, "Aunt, let's go to Cuihua Courtyard. The Gu family is not a place where Third Sister can cover up everything with one hand."

When Li Xianglian passed by Gu Jinchu, she looked at her deeply and always felt that her behavior today was a little strange.

He looked so aggressive, as if he was about to vent about what happened yesterday, but when it came to the lady dowager, she felt that things were starting to get out of control.

In Cuihua Courtyard, Li was worshiping Buddha in the small Buddhist temple.

She also believes in Buddhism, and thinks that because of her sincerity, the Gu family has been doing well over the years.

The old family is prosperous, and the eldest grandson is even more ambitious. If he can pass the imperial examination this time, his official position will definitely be higher than that of his second uncle.

The present glory of the Gu family was brought by the second daughter, allowing her to hold her head high in front of the ancestors of the Gu family.

As a widow raising these children, she can be considered proud among her relatives.

It’s just that it’s extremely difficult for the second brother’s family to have children, as they only have two girls, Gu Jinchu and Gu Yan.

She sought so many folk remedies in private and asked her niece to give away so much soup and water, but she still hasn't had a child in all these years...

Li came out of the Buddhist temple and saw Guan's mother's sad face. She asked, "What's wrong?"

"Madam, the Third Miss, the Fourth Miss, and Aunt Lian are waiting for you." The old woman leaned over and whispered beside her.

Li frowned, looking somewhat unhappy, "What about the second eldest's family? She is the mistress of the family. Why did she come to me to make trouble?"

When she stepped into the main room, she saw a room full of people waiting for her.

She heard about what happened yesterday, and she didn't want to get involved in the matter of right and wrong.

Gu Jinchu waited for her grandmother to sit down, then bowed and said, "Grandma, I'm here to admit my mistake!"
