Chapter 425: Healed His Leg
Lady Pingguo stood there in shock, then burst into laughter:
"So it's true! I was blind and actually adopted an ungrateful person as my adopted daughter. For you, I destroyed the entire Duke Ping's Mansion and myself! I let the wolf in! It was me who let the wolf in!"
Li Jiaojiao was so angry that she was already at loggerheads:
"Shut up, this is not a place for you to act so recklessly. Come here, throw her out of the house! If she dares to come to my house again, beat her out!"
The servants around looked at each other, all shocked at Li Jiaojiao's shamelessness.
Li Jiaojiao was furious when she saw them standing still: "Why are you standing there? I'm your master! Hurry up and do it!"
The maids then stepped forward hesitantly.
"Stop!" An angry shout was heard, and then Madam Gu was seen being supported by someone and walking over, with Gu Han following behind.
When Li Jiaojiao saw them, her face turned pale.
Madam Gu said, "No matter what, she is still your stepmother. She didn't mind that you had been in jail, and she didn't mind that you had offended the Shen family. In the end, you caused her family to be destroyed. Now that she has come to you for refuge, how can you drive her away? How can you be so heartless and ungrateful?"
Li Jiaojiao panicked and said, "No... I didn't mean to chase her away. She was the one who threw dirty water at me and made such a joke. I was just angry for a moment."
"I just want to ask her to leave now. After a few days, when she calms down, I will naturally take good care of her."
Madam Gu sneered, "Throwing dirty water at you? Ha, is that dirty water? Whether it was you who did it or not, everyone knows it clearly. Who do you think is a fool?"
Lady Pingguo held her chest and her eyes widened when she heard this:
"So... everyone knows it! Only I... I am the only one who is acting like a fool."
Let the wolf into the house, and she has caused him to be abandoned by everyone!
Li Jiaojiao was shocked and annoyed, and wanted to cover her mouth. She hurriedly said: "Grandma, you have no evidence--"
"This is not a court, no evidence is needed!"
Li Jiaojiao's face changed, and she quickly looked at Gu Han with tears in her eyes: "Gu Han..."
Gu Han was stunned, staring at Lady Pingguo: "Madam, has Jiaojiao ever thought about marrying Master Shen before? Does she really want to meet Master Shen?"
Lady Pingguogong's eyes were bloodshot. "Yes. When she heard that she was going to marry into the Shen family, she was so excited. She even said that she didn't understand the relationship between men and women. It was you who was willing. She only listens to the elders."
When Gu Han heard this answer, he was not surprised at all and actually smiled.
Madam Gu looked at his condition and was extremely worried: "Han'er, forget it. Li Jiaojiao is such an ungrateful person, why bother to care about her?"
"Don't you understand now? She is a nuisance! She will do anything for herself."
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale: "Old Madam, how can you say that to me? Even if I did something wrong, it was also because I was forced to do so."
Madam Gu said sullenly, "I won't talk about all the things you did in the past, let's just talk about the Duke Ping's Mansion. What did they force you to do? They didn't harm your interests, but you sold them out!"
Li Jiaojiao shook her head: "I didn't...why are you wrongly accusing me..."
But she felt a wave of pain in her heart. Indeed, the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion didn't do anything to her, and the reason she did that was just for ten thousand taels...
Is she really that kind of person?
But what did she do wrong?
Her experience in her previous life made her understand a truth: kind people are often bullied, and kind horses are often ridden!
From the moment she was reborn, she swore that if there was an afterlife, she would never let herself suffer any loss.
Madam Gu looked at Gu Han and said, "Han'er, you can't keep a woman like this. Divorce her!"
Li Jiaojiao's face changed. Divorce?
How can that be?
She had finally married into the Marquis's Mansion. Although she didn't have Gu Han and didn't inherit the title, it was still a Marquis's Mansion after all.
If she divorced, she would never be able to marry someone more respectable than Gu Han.
Even if she had a dowry of 10,000 taels, if she lost the protection of the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, she would be skinned and blood-drained by outsiders. Not to mention that she had brought the Duke Ping's Mansion to this state.
The Duke Ping's Mansion is gone, but Liu Shangwei's wife's family is still there, and so is the daughter of the Duke Ping's wife. Although they didn't do anything now, she knew that these people must hate her.
She couldn't leave Ningguo Marquis' Mansion.
Li Jiaojiao shook her head: "I didn't break any of the seven grounds for divorce, why are you divorcing me?"
Madam Gu said coldly, "Just because you concealed the verdict when you were in prison! I have already inquired about it. Your descendants cannot participate in the imperial examinations!"
Li Jiaojiao's face changed.
Madam Gu said, "Han'er! She saved you just on a whim, and she took you in just to make you a servant, and she also caused you to lose your position in the world. She is a disaster! What are you hesitating about!"
Gu Han was stunned and couldn't help but look at Li Jiaojiao with mixed feelings.
He remembered that because of Li Jiaojiao's momentary loss of speech, he lost his position as crown prince.
And with Qian San's words, coupled with her mean and ungrateful behavior today, Gu Han was extremely disappointed in her.
The cute and lovely Li Jiaojiao had suddenly become rotten and smelly.
He was in agony and tortured, and he didn't know how to face her...
Stop it, but I can’t let it go. Continue, can't swallow it...
Li Jiaojiao felt a chill in her heart when she saw him. She shook her head and said, "Gu Han, how can you be so heartless? Yes, I saved you on a whim..."
"I saved you because you were pretty! I liked you as soon as I saw you! What's wrong with that? You said I took you in to make you a servant... But think about it yourself, if you don't work, why should we support you? I told you this a long time ago!"
"No matter what my reasons were, I saved you. A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart."
As she spoke, Li Jiaojiao cried heartbrokenly:
"I saved you... and yet you accused me of acting on impulse, of being vain... If it weren't for my impulse, would you still be alive? You were just a rotten beggar at the time, did I know you?"
"Why, you expect me to fall deeply in love with you the moment I see you, and love you to death, so that I can save you? What about you? Did you love me to death the moment you woke up? What right do you have to blame me!"
"If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago, without even the chance to stand here! Now, you actually want to divorce me? Divorce me... wuwuwu...
Hearing her words, Gu Han was shaken...
Yes, who was he to accuse her of acting on a whim or just out of vanity to show her kindness? It was a fact that she saved him.
He couldn't be ungrateful, and he still had some feelings for her.
He pursed his lips and looked at Madam Gu: “Grandma, give her a chance!”
Madam Gu closed her eyes in despair: "It's up to you. As for the wife of Duke Ping... you can contact the second wife of Duke Du'an's mansion to see how to arrange for her."
The eldest daughter of the wife of Duke Pingguo married the second son of the Duke Du'an Mansion. Compared with the Duke Pingguo Mansion, the Duke Du'an Mansion is not much inferior, both of them are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
As for the other daughter of Lady Pingguo, she was married far away in the capital and could not come back for a while.
