Gu Huaizhi was secretly annoyed, thinking that it must be those blind servants in the mansion who were making trouble in front of Wan'er again.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaizhi's dissatisfaction with Tai Jingwan increased a little.
If it weren't for the fact that the mistress Tai Jingwan was not strict in managing the household, how would those servants dare to gossip in front of my cousin?
"Cousin, the servants in the mansion treat me very well." Tang Wan'er denied softly, twisting the handkerchief between her slender fingers.
When Gu Huaizhi heard this, it actually confirmed his guess that it must be the servants in the mansion who bullied Tang Wan'er.
"Wan'er, don't worry, your cousin will definitely seek justice for you. This Xuanping Marquis Mansion is also your home, no one can bully you." Gu Huaizhi said gently while holding Tang Wan'er's hand.
"My cousin treats Wan'er so well." Tang Wan'er leaned into Gu Huaizhi's arms, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes. She pretended to be weak on the surface, but sneered in her heart: If you really care about me so much, why don’t you marry me? Could it be that my Tang family's status is not as good as that of the merchant's daughter?
Gu Huaizhi stroked her hair gently: "If anyone disrespects you in the future, just fight back. I will take care of everything."
"My cousin is joking." Tang Wan'er raised her head from his arms and smiled gently, "Wan'er's stay in the Marquis' Mansion has already caused a lot of trouble for my cousin and his wife, how dare I cause more trouble?"
She lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in them.
...
...
Tang Wan'er was unwilling to believe a word Gu Huaizhi said. After all, if Gu Huaizhi really cared about her so much, why didn't he marry her? Even if my family background is not as good as Tai's, but in what way is my family background inferior to Jiang's who came in today?
Tang Wan'er was very unwilling in her heart. If she couldn't compare with Tai, how could she not compare with Jiang?
However, Gu Huaizhi didn't say a word to me, obviously, he just wanted to show his kindness.
"Nonsense! You are a distinguished guest of my Gu family, who dares to disrespect you?" Gu Huaizhi frowned.
Doesn't he want to marry this beautiful woman?
But his career is important. The power of the Tai family and the wealth of the Jiang family are stepping stones for him to rise to the top.
"Cousin, it's okay. As long as you and your wives are doing well, I will be content." Tang Wan'er said with an understanding look on her face.
"Wan'er, you are just too kind. Qingye, has anyone gossiped about you recently?" Gu Huaizhi asked Qingye with a cold face.
"Young Master..." Qingye looked at Gu Huaizhi with embarrassment. She really didn't hear about this.
However, she couldn't ruin her cousin's good fortune. The best attitude for her in this matter was to say nothing and let the young master speak for himself.
"Cousin, please don't make things difficult for Qingye. You should know that Qingye is the only one I have in this mansion." Sure enough, Tang Wan'er quickly pulled Gu Huaizhi's sleeve and begged.
"Cousin, today is your and second cousin's day, you should hurry to her place, so as not to make her wait for a long time." Tang Wan'er urged Gu Huaizhi again.
"No hurry, I'll stay with you for a while. Have you asked a doctor to come and see you?" Although Gu Huaizhi was eager to go to Yuehua Pavilion, he was worried about Gu Wan'er's illness.
"Master, the young lady wouldn't let me go call a doctor, saying that I just needed to rest in bed for a while to avoid wasting the mansion's money." Qingye said to Gu Huaizhi again with a look of grievance on her face.
"Silly boy, could our mansion be short of your little money?" Gu Huai said lovingly.
"Silly girl, is the Marquis' Mansion still short of this little money?" Gu Huaizhi spoke in a doting tone, but he did not notice the resentment that flashed in the eyes of the person in his arms.
However, where Gu Huaizhi couldn't see, Tang Wan'er was staring at the direction of Yuehua Pavilion with a look of dissatisfaction, secretly hating in her heart: Is that bitch Jiang Jinyue worthy of snatching my position?
At this time in Yuehua Pavilion, Jiang Jinyue was taking off the heavy phoenix crown in front of the bronze mirror.
"Miss, it's already this late, why hasn't the Marquis come yet?" Jiang Jinyue's maid Jixiang grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Yeah." Jiang Jinyue responded nonchalantly, without stopping her hands.
She had long expected that Gu Huaizhi would not come, and Tang Wan'er would definitely use some means to keep him.
However, she did not marry into the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for Gu Huaizhi. Now, now, on the wedding night, she didn't care much if Gu Huaizhi didn't come.
"Jixiang, bring that lilac-colored shirt here." Jiang Jinyue suddenly ordered.
"Miss, it's so late, are you still going out?" Jixiang asked puzzledly.
Jiang Jinyue raised her lips slightly and said happily: "Go visit someone."
Jixiang thought that his master was going to look for the Marquis, and was busy helping Jiang Jinyue change clothes and dress up.
He even specially changed Jiang Jinyue into a set of dignified and decent clothes.
Jiang Jinyue looked at the formal clothes on her body. Although she felt a little dissatisfied, she thought that since it was her first time visiting someone, she should be more dignified, so she went towards Yingxue Pavilion.
"Miss, the Marquis should still be in the study at this time." Jixiang saw that Jiang Jinyue was not going to the study, so he quickly reminded her.
"You go back and keep an eye on the gate of our Yuehua Pavilion, especially the warehouse where I, your young lady, keep her dowry. You have to guard it for me. No one can touch her dowry without my order, okay?" Jiang Jinyue turned around, patted Jixiang's shoulder, and instructed carefully.
"Miss, I understand." Jixiang felt that the young lady had entrusted him with an important task. Without thinking, he turned around and went to guard the warehouse door.
Seeing that Jixiang was so obedient, she continued on her way with satisfaction.
Jiang Jinyue came to Yingxue Pavilion happily. When the servant at the door saw Jiang Jinyue, he didn't react for a moment. Why did the new lady come to their Yingxue Pavilion at this time?
"Second... Second Madam, the Marquis is not here." The servant thought for a long time and thought that the Second Madam must have come to see the Marquis, and he also felt a little sympathy for Jiang Jinyue.
This marquis, having married her, abandoned her on the wedding night. This was really wrong.
Jiang Jinyue was stunned. She didn't know how to explain that she was not here to find that scumbag Gu Huaizhi.
"Is my sister here?" Jiang Jinyue thought, let it be a misunderstanding, anyway, her goal has been achieved.
Tai Jingwan, who had just laid down, had not yet sorted out what had happened today, but she heard Jiang Jinyue's voice again.
[Oh, what should I say so that he will let me in? 】
"Zhenzhu, go out and see if there is anyone outside?" Tai Jingwan sighed and sat up.
She was also puzzled. Could it be that Gu Huaizhi was not with his new wife on the wedding night?
Otherwise, why could Jiang Jinyue find her yard?
Thinking back, when she and Gu Huaizhi got married, Gu Huaizhi stayed in her courtyard. Although they didn't do anything at night, at least they stayed overnight.
Zhenzhu came to the courtyard and looked at Jiang Jinyue, also very puzzled: "Second Madam, are you here to see the Marquis? The Marquis is not with our young lady."
Zhenzhu looked at Jiang Jinyue with some sympathy and quickly spoke.
