Gu Wanru was wrongly accused by the Gu sisters of stealing Danruo's hairpin, and she could only wait and see what Danruo's attitude would be.

She knew that she had been mean to Danruo before, but Danruo had just been conferred the title of Xiangjun, so she couldn't be too arrogant and domineering.

Dan Ruo saw everyone's eyes shifted to her, she looked at Gu Wanru coldly:

"You said you didn't steal my hairpin, but the ruby ​​hairpin that Sister Wanyan gave me this morning appeared in your purse.

How do you explain such obvious physical evidence?"

Gu Wanyan immediately started to criticize Gu Wanru: "Sister Wanru is imitating her own mother. Her own mother has witnesses and evidence but she still refuses to admit it."

Gu Wanru was so angry that she burst into tears, but the other girls in the Gu family laughed even more happily when they saw her in such a miserable state.

Gu Wanyan even asked someone to bring a red-hot iron and handed it to Danruo.

"My Lord, there is irrefutable evidence that Gu Wanru stole something. According to the rules, the word thief should be branded on her face with an iron.

Please help the Gu family teach this bitch who has brought disgrace upon the family a lesson."

Gu Wanru was so scared that she wanted to run away, but she had already been held down by the burly old woman of the Gu family. She kept shrinking back, looking at Danruo in horror as he took the branding iron from Gu Wanyan:

"You are the lord of the village now. If you harm me like this, aren't you afraid that if it gets out, people will think you are vicious?"

Gu Wanyan quickly swore an oath and promised:

"Don't worry, my lord. Today's incident was about our Gu family dealing with a thief. It was my grandmother who dealt with Gu Wanru. It has nothing to do with you. No one present will tell anyone else."

The others quickly nodded in agreement.

Gu Wanru cried out to heaven but no one answered her call. This scene was very similar to the one when the original owner was wrongly accused of stealing Gu Wanru's hairpin and was disfigured by Gu Wanru with charcoal.

But if Danruo didn't intend to destroy her face directly, it would be very satisfying to take revenge directly, but now she has relatives she cares about, and she has to consider the reputation of her mother and sister.

She approached Gu Wanru with the iron. Gu Wanru could already smell the smell of her hair burning. She heard Danruo sigh suddenly:

"It's a pity that Gu Wanru is now married out, and it's not appropriate for the Gu family to deal with her directly according to the rules."

Gu Wanyan said disdainfully: "Xiang Jun, she is just an unfavored concubine of Qiao Guangzhi. Qiao Guangzhi is just a minor official from a grassroots background and is not worth mentioning.

No matter how my Gu family deals with her, I don't think Qiao Guangzhi will come to defend a shameless concubine."

The other people in the Gu family did not know that Gu Wanru was pregnant, nor did they know Qiao Guangzhi's true identity.

Dan Ruo smiled arrogantly at Gu Wanru after hearing this: "Since Sister Wanyan said so, I feel relieved."

Gu Wanru was reminded by Danruo that she was a married woman and it was her husband's family's business to deal with her.

However, Gu Wanyan and Danruo did not know the true identity of their husbands, so they dared to set up a plan to destroy her appearance so blatantly. She is now a concubine, and appearance and offspring are the most important to her.

Looking at the branding iron so close to me, I felt like I was about to be disfigured.

She no longer cared about Qiao Guangzhi's instructions and hurriedly shouted:

"I'm carrying General Lu's grandson in my belly. If you dare to hurt me, aren't you afraid of General Lu's revenge?"

When Dan Ruo heard her say this, he did not put down the branding iron immediately.

He thought to himself that the fish had finally taken the bait, but pretended to be unconvinced and asked, "How do you prove it?"

Gu Wanru betrayed Qiao's mother and Qiao Guangzhi like pouring beans.

Back then, Qiao's mother was an orphan rescued by General Lu. The two had a deep friendship and had already secretly married and gave birth to Qiao Guangzhi.

Later, Princess Yan Yang fell in love with General Lu and separated Qiao's mother and General Lu. Over the years, General Lu was afraid of Princess Yan Yang and had kept Qiao's mother and Qiao Guangzhi away from home.

After hearing this explosive news, everyone was a little hesitant about whether to continue to make things difficult for Gu Wanru.

After all, General Lu's Mansion is not something that their current Gu family can compete with. Only the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, as the queen's mother's family, is not afraid of General Lu's Mansion.

Everyone turned their eyes to Danruo, and it was up to Danruo to decide whether to continue destroying Gu Wanru's face.

Dan Ruo looked at Gu Wanru with interest:

"First point: You said General Lu married Mother Qiao first. Is there a marriage certificate? If there is a marriage certificate, then General Lu already has a wife and he went on to marry Princess Yanyang. This means General Lu has committed the grave crime of remarrying and should at least be dismissed from office.

The second point: You said that Princess Yanyang fell in love with General Lu. This is even harder to say. After all, it was General Lu who asked the Empress Dowager for an imperial decree to marry Princess Yanyang.

Did Princess Yanyang put a knife to his neck and asked him to marry her? So how could it be Princess Yanyang who broke up Qiao Guangzhi's mother and General Lu?

Princess Yan Yang heard Dan Ruo's words as soon as she came in. When they were in Marquis Xuanping's mansion, Marquis Xuanping's wife was always on guard and would not let her talk to Dan Ruo alone.

So when Princess Yan Yang learned that she had gone out today, she waited near the Gu Mansion and waited for her to come out and stop her.

Give her the letter written by her son, then say something nice to her son and ask him indirectly whether his period has come this month.

Danruo sent someone to invite her in, but she didn't understand why. She didn't expect to hear such great news when she came in.

She looked at Gu Wanru and said, "You said you are pregnant with the Lu family's grandson, so come back with me to meet the elders."

Gu Wanru thought, it wouldn't be easy for Princess Yan Yang to recognize him. She didn't know what Qiao Guangzhi and his mother were afraid of. They had to wait until Lu Xiuyuan died before planning to recognize him.

Princess Yan Yang is a woman, so she has to listen to General Lu.

Then Princess Yan Yang's servants tied up Gu Wanru and took her away.

Princess Yan Yang forced a smile towards Dan Ruo, "Good boy, your aunt has some urgent matters to deal with at home, so I won't talk to you today. Here are some small cakes with border flavors, take them back and try them."

Then he left in a hurry, leaving everyone in the Gu family looking at each other in bewilderment. Gu Wanyan looked at Danruo's expression and asked everyone to disperse, and told them not to talk nonsense outside.

Qiao Guangzhi was on duty when he heard that General Lu had sent someone to invite him, and his heart skipped a beat.

When he arrived at the Lu Mansion and saw Gu Wanru kneeling on the ground, what was there to understand? Gu Wanru had revealed her identity.

If I had known earlier, I would not have tried to snatch everything from Lu Xiuyuan, but would have tried to save her and seduce her, then revealed my life story to make her pity me, and then made her fall hopelessly in love with me, and slept with me before marriage to humiliate Lu Xiuyuan.

If I had known earlier, I would have let this stupid woman go and stop causing trouble for Lu Xiu.
