After Li finished speaking, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then a trace of regret flashed in his eyes and his brows frowned slightly.

Not long ago, she specifically reminded her fifth brother's wife to be careful of Wang Yuran, but why was she trying to show off?

Based on her understanding of the Wang family, that old lady Wang, who doted on her young daughter excessively and had no bottom line, must be planning to take advantage of the masters of the Jiang family.

Apart from the Crown Prince, Fifth Master Jiang should be their first choice for the Dingguo Mansion.

After all, my fifth brother's wife is pregnant now. If a man is weak-willed at this time, he will easily break his bottom line.

Thinking of this, Li's eyes suddenly fell on the plates of snacks on the kang table.

She couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that they wanted to take advantage of Gu Jinchu's trick to harm the baby in her belly?

When Wang heard what Li said, the faint smile on her face instantly disappeared, her face became as gloomy as water, and her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

Wang Yuran raised his chin slightly, his expression was arrogant, his eyes revealed disdain, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said:

"Third Madam, what are you talking about! You are a guest here, and Fifth Madam Jiang didn't say anything. Do you have to interfere here?" She said as she glanced at Li, her eyes full of contempt.

She had always looked down on the Li family, and now she thought that the third branch of the Jiang family was in her pocket, so she became more and more impolite in her words.

"I heard that there was a dispute in the Orchid Garden last night. Just based on your rude words, it is simply unworthy of being in a noble place. No wonder you have not been able to win the favor of your husband all these years."

Li was also spoiled at home when she was young. Although she looks delicate and likes to cry, it does not mean that she will not quarrel.

She took a deep breath, pinched her throat, and tried to make herself more imposing. "Whether I can please my husband or not, Madam Zhang, please don't worry about it. After all, I am better than nothing."

After hearing this, Wang Yuran suddenly became angry and embarrassed.

She couldn't stand others elevating her widow status, and her face turned red. "Being born in a merchant family is so vulgar, it's simply unbearable!"

The two of them were talking back and forth, which made Gu Jinchu feel extremely annoyed.

Her face darkened, and she looked at Wang and said calmly, "Madam, does my sister think that my Yuanyuan Hall is your Wang family?"

Seeing this, Wang quickly pulled Wang Yuran, with an apologetic look on her face, but a hint of imperceptible displeasure flashed in her eyes.

He said, "Fifth brother's wife, my sister is young and has been spoiled by her parents and brothers at home. You should not be so mean to her."

Gu Jinchu looked at Wang and smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

She knew in her heart that she would still have to get along with Wang in the future. Her words just now were already very serious, so she said slowly, "I'm tired. Let's get together another day."

This was the first time that Wang Yuran was repeatedly ordered to leave, and she could no longer suppress her anger.

She stood up suddenly, rushed to a place a few steps away from the Luohan bed, pointed at Li, and said loudly to Gu Jinchu:

"Fifth Madam, are you standing up for her? Have you forgotten the dispute between you two? Let me tell you, this Li..."

Before he could finish his words, Doubao, who was lying in Gu Jinchu's arms, suddenly let out a low growl.

The hair on its body instantly stood up, its eyes narrowed into a slit, and it stared at the front. Then, it crouched and bent, exerting force on its limbs, and rushed towards Wang Yuran like an arrow.

"what--"

The cat's cry and the woman's wailing sounded almost at the same time.

It all happened in an instant and no one had time to react.

Wang Yuran was being bitten madly by a black and brown tabby cat. A look of fear appeared on her face and she waved her hands wildly in the air.

While dodging in panic, he bumped into a treasure cabinet on the side, and the ornaments on it fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and the porcelain was smashed to pieces.

The room was suddenly in chaos, and everyone was at a loss for what to do.

Gu Jinchu frowned slightly, raised his voice unconsciously, and shouted: "Dou Bao, come back!"

Ever since Master Jiang Wu gave this tabby cat to her, it has been lazy every day and has never done anything to attack anyone.

Wang's face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she shouted, "Pull that cat away!"

"Eldest sister, save me..."

Wang Yuran protected her face with one hand and tried to break free from Doubao's bite with the other. She staggered in panic and came towards the sound of voices.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi, who was serving nearby, quickly stood in front of the Luohan bed, protected her master behind her, and kicked Wang Yuran decisively.

Wang Yuran, who was wearing a light green jacket and skirt with golden branches, tilted to one side as if in slow motion, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The man who was holding the bean bun that she was chewing let go of her and jumped onto the table nearby.

It squinted its eyes, which had turned into vertical pupils, bent its round body, stared at Wang Yuran fiercely, let out a low roar, and revealed its sharp bloody teeth.

"what--"

Not only was Wang Yuran screaming, the two maids she brought with her, who had originally wanted to come over to support her, turned pale with fright when they saw what was happening, and after leaving her behind, they ran around the room in panic.

Wang calmed herself down, quickly pulled up her little sister from the ground, and held her in her arms, her eyes filled with heartache and anger.

The beast was right there, and they didn't dare to move. They just looked at Bai Zhi with angry eyes, "Fifth brother's wife, it's time to control this maid!"

Bai Zhi helped Gu Jinchu stand up from the Luohan bed. Bai Shao, who came in with him, stood on the left and right to protect their master.

Gu Jinchu smiled instead of getting angry and said, "Didn't you see what happened just now, sister-in-law? Or are you blaming my maid for meddling in other people's business?"

"I also want to ask, what is hidden on your sister? Why doesn't Doubao bite others but only attacks her?"

Li, who was standing by, covered her chest with her hands, showing a gloating expression on her face, and fanned the flames:

"Sister-in-law, I'm not saying this to you, but you don't know right from wrong. If that girl hadn't kicked your sister, she would have really lost face rolling on that pile of porcelain shards."

At this time, Mrs. Li was supported by Mother Xia and stood by the door. She stood on tiptoe and raised her head. She glanced at Wang Yuran's bloody right hand, curled her lips, and looked as if it had nothing to do with her.

Wang Yuran gasped in pain, "What is that? Don't spit blood on me!"

Gu Jinchu raised his chin slightly, looked down at them, his eyes revealing a sense of majesty, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't explain the matter clearly, none of you can leave!"

Then she ordered the maid beside her: "Bai Zhi, go and..." She glanced at Wang Yuran with impatience, and then said: "Stop the bleeding and bandage Madam Zhang or Miss Wang."

Then he said to Mother Cheng who was guarding outside the door: "Send someone to notify Master Wu to come back and tell Gao De that from now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Yuanyuan Hall without my permission!"
