On the official road, a group of people rode at full speed. Jiang Shiyi led 50 guards towards Yanxia Village.

She herself changed into riding clothes and rode a horse over!

Upon arriving at Yanxia Village, Jiang Shiyi did not rush in. Instead, he first sent two skilled martial artists in to scout ahead.

Whether Gu Ting is truly trying to harm someone or it's just a misunderstanding, she's determined to seize this opportunity to retaliate against the Marquis's mansion and leave the old Marquis speechless.

Last time, they forcibly pressured the Marquis's family and forced them to move to their country estate. The old Marquis felt they were being unreasonable.

And to be honest, I felt resentful, thinking that my own descendants shouldn't be so incompetent. The Earl's mansion actually made such a big fuss.

The guard arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. "Reporting to Madam, Lin Mama reports that Miss is ill and unable to get out of bed."

"What!" Jiang Shiyi panicked when she heard that Xu Shaoqing's condition was really that serious.

Completely flustered, he immediately led his men to break down the door of their country house.

Xu Shaoqing was truly ill; he lay in bed rarely waking up and was mostly in a coma.

Yingchun was about to go out when she reached the courtyard gate. A grim-looking old woman stood guard there, but Yingchun wasn't afraid of her.

"Get out of the way! I want to get out!"

The old woman didn't move, stubbornly blocking the way. They even moved a long table to block the door.

"Listen to me carefully, our young mistress just fainted. If anything happens to her, can you afford to pay for it with your dog's life?"

The old woman hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

Yes! If anything were to happen to the Third Young Mistress, she would be the first one to be pushed forward as a target.

She hesitated for a moment, and her hand on the table loosened. Seeing this, Yingchun suddenly shoved her aside.

The old woman also took the opportunity to fall to the ground, crying out in pain.

Yingchun had no time to worry about her at this moment. Following Lin Mama's plan, she ran towards the main gate.

Granny Lin suddenly came over and told her to find a way to rush to the front gate and make a scene.

Yingchun rushed to the door with lightning speed, crying loudly, "Who can go and fetch a doctor for our family? We'll give 30 taels of silver as a reward."

Sure enough, as soon as the price was mentioned, a group of middle-aged women immediately surrounded us.

"What's going on? Aren't you just a maid? Go and invite her yourself."

“Our whole family is kept from leaving the house by my son-in-law.”

"Oh my goodness, what's wrong with your son-in-law?"

A group of people started discussing it animatedly.

Aunt Yang heard the news, but she couldn't care less about stopping Yingchun at the door.

Because after Yingchun left, Granny Lin hurriedly went to open Xu Shaoqing's storeroom.

When Aunt Yang received the letter, she went to Xu Shaoqing's storeroom first. When Jiang Shiyi came in, she was arguing with Granny Lin, wanting a set of Xu Shaoqing's turquoise stone faceplates.

Gu Xiao went out, while Gu Ting went to find Xu Shaoqing. He really had no patience left.

Actually, Gu Ting's behavior towards Xu Shaoqing has little to do with the shop; it's more like a 50/50 thing.

The key was that he successfully found a reason, a reason that even Gu Xiao wouldn't stop him from punishing Xu Shaoqing.

Gu Xiao had no idea that Gu Ting could go this crazy. He only hoped that Xu Shaoqing would get a beating and then take the shop out.

My family really needs this shop, and we'll return it to her after we've sold all the spices we borrowed in a few months.

This daughter-in-law is so stingy. Gu Xiao felt a little helpless when she mentioned it.

Therefore, the only person who can see Jiang Shiyi now is Aunt Yang.

Yang was startled to suddenly see Jiang Shiyi, leading so many people in a grand procession.

"Madam, how could you barge into our house without warning? Isn't that incredibly impolite?"

Jiang Shiyi scoffed. What manners did she even know?

"Isn't that Qing'er's dowry in your hand?" That one sentence extinguished Aunt Yang's anger.

Xu Shaoqing actually woke up once this morning, and she finally realized that Gu Ting was a bad person!

The first thing he did after waking up was to tell Granny Lin not to give the shop to them.

So, seeing that so many days had passed and Xu Shaoqing still wouldn't listen,

Gu Ting lost his patience and went straight to Xu Shaoqing, "Madam, are you going to give me this shop or not?"

"I won't give it to you. I've already said this shop is part of my dowry. Why are you always so stubborn?"

What if you give this shop to Gu Xiao and he secretly sells it for money behind our backs?

Even if I have the shop's contract, and he can't sell it, he's holding onto it and refusing to return it to us. He's an elder, so getting it back will be difficult.

Gu Ting couldn't help but laugh, "How could you be so stupid? This shop isn't something Father wanted, it's something I wanted."

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? I've explained it so clearly, can't you understand?"

"Why, why are you plotting against my shop?"

"I'm not doing anything. Anyway, I can't get my hands on your money or your family's official position. It's just a small shop now."

"Gu Ting, you..."

"What's wrong? Are you surprised? Look at your terrified face."

It's absolutely disgusting! Your nanny warned you so many times, but you just wouldn't listen!

After saying that, Gu Ting suddenly grabbed Xu Shaoqing by the neck, "Why don't you believe me? Back then, the money I used to buy the official position, if you believed your maid's words, then I was lying to you."

I probably wouldn't have been able to swindle that money, I wouldn't have used it to buy an official position, and I wouldn't have fallen for that old beast of a father's trick!

You despicable woman.

Gu Xiao chuckled a few times from his throat, sounding hoarse and mournful, "I really regret marrying a so-called daughter of a prestigious family like you."

I, Gu Ting, haven't gained a single bit of benefit; on the contrary, I've lost everything.

I put up with your bad temper and coaxed you like a dog, so why did I end up like this? Why don't you just die, Xu Shaoqing!

Ah! Why don't you just die! Why!

Yingchun had gone out, and Granny Lin was not in the courtyard either. No one expected Gu Ting to come over at this time.

Xu Shaoqing was almost strangled to death by Gu Ting. At this moment, the gold ingots that Granny Lin had given to the maids in the courtyard a few days ago came in handy.

Although the maids dared not disobey Gu Ting, two of them secretly ran out to look for someone.

Just then, the old woman guarding the gate went to get her injury treated, limping along. There was no one watching the gate now.

Gu Ting was so mad that he just wanted to vent his anger, and when he saw the maid run away, he couldn't be bothered to chase after her.

The key point is that I was provoked again, after hearing that Yingchun ran away. It feels like nothing is going well for me!

Fortunately, just as Xu Shaoqing was about to run out of breath, Jiang Shiyi arrived with her men.

Everything went smoothly afterward. Since Gu Ting had dealt with the perpetrators, the old Marquis naturally wouldn't intervene to protect him. He even forced Gu Ting to write a divorce agreement.

The key is that the evidence is so complete, and the surrounding farmers all know that the young master of this family is not a good person. When the old lord sent someone to investigate, he found out everything.

He sent a box of ginseng to the Anbo Mansion, which was a gesture of seeking peace and also indicated that the old Marquis would no longer interfere with how Gu Ting was dealt with.

In fact, the reason why the Anbo family did not allow Xu Shaoqing to come to the country estate was to obtain this divorce agreement.

The old Marquis saw this too, and was furious, but for the sake of the Marquis's estate, he had no choice but to agree.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shaoqing went to the countryside with him, which gave the old Marquis a sense of relief. But now that Gu Ting is doing this, he has no choice but to give up on him.

Now that her goal has been achieved, Jiang Shiyi should have left with Xu Shaoqing, but she refused.
