Zheng Huiyi pouted, hugged Gu Qinlan's arm coquettishly, and said coquettishly:
"Mother, don't you like Yi'er anymore? Yi'er loves you very much. Aren't we lovers?"
She changed the subject and said with some compromise:
"But, what mother says is always right! So, mother should teach Yi'er more in the future, so that Yi'er won't make a fool of herself again."
Gu Qinlan gazed affectionately at the little baby in her arms who was only three years old but already had eight hundred kinds of wits. She felt helpless yet full of endless love, and softly agreed:
"Ok."
When Zheng Huiyi heard this, her eyes immediately sparkled with joy, and she cast a proud look at Du Yusheng opposite her.
As Du Yusheng looked at the little fellow, his eyes gradually revealed an emotion of helplessness and dumb laughter.
Maybe this kid misunderstood something?
however……
Du Yusheng couldn't help but think of Zheng Dinglian whom he had met before, and a trace of sadness welled up in his heart. That noble prince...
He has a gloomy face every day, but he married his outstanding junior sister and has such a lovely daughter. Why do all the good things get monopolized by him?
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, the sound of children crying and the sound of falling dishes intertwined.
Gu Qinlan had no intention of intervening, but he vaguely heard a familiar voice, so he turned to Wocan:
"Go out and see what's going on."
Wocan nodded slightly, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and pushed the door open.
After a moment, Wocan returned quickly with a complicated expression on his face.
"What happened?" Gu Qinlan asked curiously upon seeing this.
Wocan coughed lightly and glanced at Du Yusheng, not knowing how to start.
Seeing this, Gu Qinlan immediately said, "Senior brother is one of us, there is no need to worry."
As soon as these words were spoken, Du Yusheng's brows relaxed instantly, and joy appeared in his eyes.
Junior sister regards him as a close friend!
After hearing this, Wocan slowly spoke: "It turned out that the second young lady and the second uncle-in-law had an argument outside."
"Gu Qinlian?" Gu Qinlan raised his eyebrows.
Only Gu Qinlian could do such a thing, making such a big fuss in public.
This cannot be entirely blamed on Gu Qinlian. After all, Zhang came from a merchant family with a narrow vision. She was blindly doting on her children and spoiled the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family to the point of lawlessness.
When Xiang Zhu heard that it was Gu Qinlian who was making the commotion, he immediately became alert and asked Wocan:
"You haven't been discovered by the Second Miss and the others, have you? The Second Miss is going crazy right now, our princess should not get entangled with her, or else we will both be embarrassed."
Xiang Zhu really couldn't stand Gu Qinlian, this dignified young lady from a marquis's mansion, who was always noisy every day.
Arguing with your husband in front of everyone is a very shameful thing no matter what the reason is.
"How could I let them find out?" He rolled his eyes slightly, obviously unhappy about being looked down upon.
Gu Qinlan stood up and looked at Du Yusheng with a hint of apology:
"Brother, I'm sorry, since this matter involves my sister, I must go and deal with it."
"It's okay, I'll go with you." Du Yusheng immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to accompany Gu Qinlan.
Gu Qinlan shook his head and refused: "Brother, you'd better not go, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. My sister..."
Du Yusheng was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was a foreign man and there were so many people outside.
If he went out with Gu Qinlan at this moment, it might damage Gu Qinlan's reputation.
Du Yusheng naturally didn't want to implicate his junior sister, so he immediately nodded and agreed:
"Okay, then you should be careful. If you need anything, let someone know."
"Thank you, senior brother." Gu Qinlan sincerely thanked Du Yusheng.
Regardless of anything else, just based on Du Yusheng's sincerity, she would treat Du Yusheng as her own brother.
When Gu Qinlan led Zheng Huiyi out of the room, they saw Gu Qinlian standing in the hall with an angry look on his face.
At this time, Gu Qinlian was wearing a bright-colored brocade robe with a pattern of peacocks and clouds as bright as flames. The swaying of her robe showed her noble and luxurious demeanor.
A phoenix-shaped gold hairpin with red jade beads was inserted diagonally on her bun. As she suddenly overturned the table, it was now swaying gently, and the beads collided with each other, making a pleasant tinkling sound.
The table full of delicacies had now been scattered all over the floor, with the soup splattering everywhere, creating a huge mess, which was a pity.
Opposite Gu Qinlian, Ji Yinli's face turned pale. He stretched out his hand to block Hu Xinrong and the two children behind him and whispered in a deep voice:
"Ma'am, what kind of behavior is this? How about we go back and talk about it?"
Ji Yinli tried to pull Gu Qinlian away, but how could she give up when she was at the peak of her anger?
She shook off Ji Yinli's hand, pointed at his nose, and angrily scolded:
"Go back and tell them? What will you say? Tell them that you were so fearless that you allowed this vixen and her offspring to parade around in the streets?"
"Ji Yinli, I am your legal wife, but you bring this vixen and her bastard around with you every day to embarrass yourself. You have no shame, and I still have my dignity!"
The onlookers around all looked at the scene sideways, with an expression of enjoying the show on their faces.
Ji Yinli felt the knife-like gazes from all around him, as if his body had been pierced through by them. He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and said:
"Gu Qinlian, please stop making trouble! Xinrong is already a concubine in the mansion, and Yan Shao and Yumin are also my blood relatives. Why do they become so unbearable in your mouth?"
Having said that, Ji Yinli glanced around again. He couldn't stand the embarrassment of being noticed. He reached out his hand again, trying to pull Gu Qinlian away, and at the same time coaxed her in a low voice:
"Okay, Madam. I know I've been neglecting you these days. If you don't want to see Xinrong and the others, I'll have them return to the mansion and stop hanging around in front of you. Is that okay?"
"You like spices, don't you? How about I buy some for you to make up for my mistake?"
Ji Yinli was handsome and elegant. At this moment, he lowered himself and tried to persuade Gu Qinlian sincerely, which made her expression slightly eased.
She knew in her heart that she couldn't make things too awkward with Ji Yinli. After all, she still wanted to become a noble lady and relied on Ji Yinli's status.
Just as Gu Qinlian was about to agree, Hu Xinrong next to her did not want her to reconcile with Ji Yinli.
Hu Xinrong pulled the two children over and bowed her head to apologize to Gu Qinlian:
"Sister, it's all my fault. The children were really making a fuss to come out, and I had to take them out out of fatherly love."
At this point, Hu Xinrong's eyes were misty. She looked pitiful, as if she might be blown down by the wind at any time.
Then, she hugged the two children tightly in her arms, pretended to be strong, and continued:
"If you are unhappy, I will take the children back now. Please reconcile with your husband as soon as possible. Don't let me and the children... make you unhappy."
Most of the onlookers were men. Seeing how weak Hu Xinrong was, they all felt pity for her and began to blame Gu Qinlian:
"I say, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why are you making a fuss about it?"
"That's right. Isn't jealousy one of the seven grounds for divorce? I think you'd better be divorced."
"That's right. Which man would want to marry such a fierce woman?"
