Chapter 71 Worse than Pigs and Dogs

Even though Gu Lan had already made up her mind, when Pei Yuanqing pushed the door open with resentment instead of concern on his face, her heart couldn't help but ache.

"Gu Lan, why are you like this? Your mother is such a good person, and you have the heart to let others bully her? Who are these two uneducated children? Where did they come from?" Pei Yuanqing asked questions in rapid succession, his eyes cold and without a trace of worry about his wife's illness.

Jiang Xinyue was the best at acting. At this moment, she wiped away the tears that didn't exist with a handkerchief, "Yuan Qing, forget it. Lan'er must be in a bad mood. It's okay for me to be wronged. Her health is the most important thing now."

Pei Yuanqing glared at Gu Lan. "Her health? Isn't that her own fault? I've already explained the pros and cons to her, telling her to rest assured and take care of the baby, but she refused to listen. All she could think about was the Gu family, completely forgetting she was a member of the Pei family. Now, the baby's gone. Gu Lan, is this what you wanted?"

Li Mumu was so angry that she was about to retort. She really didn't want to suffer any humiliation at all, but Xie Xun noticed that she was about to speak first, so he pulled her and shook his head at her.

He felt that there were some things that Gu Lan should be aware of, and it was not easy for others to make decisions for her. He did this because he didn't want the little girl to be blamed in the future.

Gu Lan sneered, "Pei Yuanqing, you're not right. As the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, I'm filial to my parents-in-law and serve you, a fool. I don't think I've done anything wrong to your Pei family. But as the daughter of the Gu family, my parents have suffered, and I can't take their place. Now my family is in Zhuzhou City and I can't see them. So, the daughter-in-law your Pei family wants should be heartless and selfish to her parents. Sorry, I really don't meet the requirements."

"You..." Pei Yuanqing didn't expect Gu Lan to be so confident. Because of the Gu family's affairs, he had been sleeping in his concubine's room for a while, just wanting her to be submissive like other women. After all, the Gu family was finished, and she no longer had anyone to rely on.

But I didn't expect that even though the child was gone and Gu Lan's last bargaining chip was gone, she still dared to talk to me like that.

"Lan'er, no matter how wrong you are, it's all your fault. I didn't care about you enough, but Yuan Qing is your husband, your heaven. You shouldn't talk to him like that." Jiang Xinyue seemed to be persuading, but in fact she was adding fuel to the fire.

Li Mumu almost felt sick after hearing this. She regarded her husband as her heaven, but she also did some shameful things behind the back of Governor Pei. Why didn't she think about her own heaven at that time?

Prefect Pei sighed, obviously a little disappointed with Gu Lan.

Pei Yuanqing was most afraid of his father. Seeing his father shaking his head, he knew that the matter was serious. Not wanting to lose face in front of his father, he angrily said, "Gu Lan, who gave you the courage to speak like that? If it were the Gu family of the past, it would be fine, but the Gu family now is always in trouble. We are kind and you don't appreciate it. Why are you still making a fuss here? You really disappoint me. If I had known you were so unreasonable, I would have..."

Gu Lan had a hint of sneer on his face, "What did you do back then?"

Pei Yuanqing was actually a coward at heart. His father was a tyrannical one, his mother died early, and he had a stepmother who was like a smiling tiger. He was not well brought up and did not grow up well.

"I..." Pei Yuanqing didn't dare to say the words on his lips when facing the powerful Gu Lan.

Although he had thought about divorcing his wife, he didn't dare to bring it up because his father hadn't expressed his opinion.

Gu Lan sneered twice, his eyes full of disdain. The daughters of the Gu family never complain about the fate. What's the harm in marrying the wrong person? As long as she is still alive, she can start all over again.

"You're such a coward, you don't dare say what you think. Well, let me say it for you, Pei Yuanqing, do you regret marrying me?"

Pei Yuanqing didn't say anything, but just glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye. Queen Mother Pei had a gloomy expression on her face, and her eyes were always looking at Li Mumu and Xie Xun. It was unknown what she was thinking.

"You don't need to tell me. Just look at how your Pei family took advantage of me. I, Gu Lan, also regret it. I won't talk about the past. It was my family that didn't know how to judge people. Now we can't even protect the child. I have nothing to do with your Pei family anymore. Let's get divorced."

"Okay!" Pei Yuanqing just heard from Jiang Xinyue that after Gu Lan had the miscarriage, her body might be damaged and she might not be able to have another child in the future. His mother's niece Jiang Huiyin, his nominal cousin, was in love with him. She was gentle, knowledgeable and interesting, which was the one he wanted most.

"No!" Prefect Pei suddenly said in a cold voice.

Pei Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and even looked at Jiang Xinyue a little at a loss because of his own speed.

When Li Mumu saw this, she knew that Pei Yuanqing had been completely spoiled by Jiang Xinyue and could no longer tell good from bad.

"Dad~" Pei Yuanqing looked at the prefect Pei timidly.

Prefect Pei frowned and said in a cold voice, "You are Yuan Qing's legitimate wife. Although your Gu family is in trouble and we can't help, my Pei family is not a cold and indifferent family. Asking you to divorce at this time is tantamount to..."

"No need!" Although Gu Lan had not been married for long, she knew very well what kind of people were in the Pei family. This father-in-law was the most righteous and moral person, always talking about benevolence and morality, but the things he did were, bah!

They are worse than pigs and dogs.

Governor Pei frowned, dissatisfied with Gu Lan's ignorance.

"You are not feeling well now, and you cannot bear the suffering of exile. It is better for you to continue to be the eldest lady in our Pei family." said the prefect Pei.

Jiang Xinyue on the side had a sullen face. She had done so much because she wanted to get rid of Gu Lan. Because Gu Lan was very smart, it would be difficult for her to take action against Pei Yuanqing with her around.

"The Gu family is in decline. I am of no use to you now." Gu Lan said with a sneer.

She originally had no intention of breaking up with them and just wanted to leave early, but she was really disgusted by these people.

Li Mumu shook her head and said in a baby voice, "Cousin, how can you be useless? You have such a good reputation in the Pei family. If you leave, the Pei family will be known as a heartless, cold and selfish family."

"Shut up!" Prefect Pei looked as if his tail had been stepped on. It was obvious that what Li Mumu said was right.

With Xie Xun by her side, Li Mumu also began to act like a bully. Of course, she could take down some guys by herself. "I said, if you have the guts, hit me."

Xie Xun curled his lips and blew on the blood-stained soft sword, undoubtedly deliberately expressing his contempt for Prefect Pei.

"Gu Lan, isn't it also for your own good that I don't allow you to divorce?"

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. I don't feel it's that hard to be with my family." Gu Lan said with a sneer.

"I said we can't divorce. How about... you make some conditions? Don't you just want to see your parents?" Prefect Pei relented. "I'll arrange for someone to take you there right away."
