The slap came suddenly and quickly, catching Jiang Ersao off guard, and she took the blow squarely.
Her face stung, and it took Jiang Ersao a while to react. "How dare you hit me!"
"Heh." Gu An'an couldn't help but laugh. "If you go crazy in my house again, believe me, I'll beat you so badly that your parents won't recognize you."
This is her own home, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to teach the intruder a lesson. Even if it goes to the authorities, Gu An'an isn't afraid.
Gu An'an's harsh words infuriated Jiang Ersao, who wanted to rush over and grab Gu An'an's face, but before she could reach her, a small shovel was placed in front of her chest.
"I told you, this is my home. If you take another step, I won't hold back at all. You can try if you don't believe me."
Jiang Ersao hesitated for a moment.
Cai covered her mouth and laughed. To be honest, she also wanted to hit someone, but she couldn't do so without Xiao Gu's legitimate reason.
Jiang Ersao is a very disliked person, and it would be most satisfying for someone to teach her a lesson.
Madam Cai fanned the flames from the side, saying, "Oh, Xiao Gu, let's talk things out. Don't let your relationship as sisters-in-law fall apart."
Harmonious.
These words enraged Jiang Ersao. "When has she ever treated me like a sister-in-law? Where did you take my Cuicui? Give Cuicui back to me!"
The person was extremely arrogant, yet very cautious, and did not dare to take a step forward.
"A woman follows her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog. She married Lin the blacksmith, so if you're looking for someone, go find Lin the blacksmith. What does it have to do with me?" Gu An'an glanced at her. "My house isn't a place for you to throw a tantrum. If you keep causing trouble, I'll beat you up."
As she spoke, she raised the entrenching tool in her hand, a move that made Jiang Ersao tremble with fear. "Murder! Murder!"
They ran out making a fuss.
Seeing this, Cai couldn't help but laugh. "Your second sister-in-law is such a coward. But Xiao Gu, your shovel is quite nice. Where did you get it?"
She had never seen a shovel like this before; it was green.
Gu An'an coughed lightly, "I found it. I just got back and still need to tidy up, so I won't keep you here to talk, sister-in-law."
This is a way of telling you to leave.
Cai immediately realized that her earlier instigation had displeased Gu An'an.
She actually wanted to see Jiang Ersao make a fool of herself, but that was bound to drag Gu An'an into it, so it's no wonder she wasn't too happy about it.
"Then you go ahead with your work. Just call me if you need anything later, and your brother Jianxin and I will definitely help if we can."
These words revealed Cai's attitude. In fact, she was not targeting Gu An'an; she just wanted to see Jiang Ersao make a scene.
I just spoke without thinking, and in that moment I didn't consider Gu An'an's feelings.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have dragged her husband out to say things like she wanted to help Gu An'an.
Gu An'an naturally understood the reasoning behind it, "We might really need to trouble your sister-in-law and Brother Jianxin later."
Hearing this, Madam Cai felt somewhat relieved. "Of course, of course."
After seeing Cai off, Gu An'an simply closed the door to prevent anyone from barging in again.
Inside the house, several children are cleaning.
I was away from home for a few days, and it got quite dusty.
"Your Highness, will we be living in the city from now on?" Bao'er asked, playing with the little fish her older sister had sewn for her during the New Year. A hint of worry crossed her little face.
Don't you like it?
"No, but I want to see Little Axe." Bao'er sniffed. "I haven't seen it in so long."
Jiang Mingxu corrected him very seriously, "He's called Little Tiger, not Little Axe."
“It’s Little Axe. I call it Little Axe, and it smiles at me.” Bao’er sought validation from Gu An’an. “Your Majesty, am I right?”
Even if what your little one says is wrong, it's still right.
Gu An'an nodded repeatedly, "Yes, let's call it Little Axe. That's the name Bao'er gave it."
Whether the little tiger agrees or not, as long as the child is happy, that's all that matters.
"Your Majesty, may we take Little Axe to that house?"
Jiang Mingxu glared at his sister. "Silly girl, what are you thinking? Of course you can."
Gu An'an nearly drowned in her own spittle. Child, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
Even if it's a young tiger, bringing it into a busy city would scare people half to death, okay?
You think everyone is as heartless and fearless as you, unafraid of even wolves and tigers?
Bao'er received permission from her older brother and clapped excitedly, "Yay, let's take Little Axe back with us!"
Looking at the child's excited expression, Gu An'an couldn't bear to shatter the child's beautiful dream.
"Baby, don't listen to your little brother's nonsense."
Upon hearing this, Bao'er burst into tears, her voice trembling with grievance, "Is it not okay, Your Majesty? I miss Little Axe so much."
Looking at the child who could cry so easily, Gu An'an felt like crying too.
“Bao’er, listen to your mother. Our little tiger lives in the mountains and forests, just like you want to live with your mother, brother, and sister. If your mother leaves you outside to live on your own, how can you be happy?”
The little girl thought about it very seriously for a moment, then hugged Gu An'an and said, "I want to be with the Empress, and also with my older brother, older sister, and little brother."
"That's it, so we can't force it, just like you can't insist on taking the little tiger to the city, Bao'er. But if you want to play with it, we can come back every few days."
Anyway, Gu An'an was going to hunt and gather herbs from the mountains, which were her gold mine.
"Yay, Your Majesty is the best!" The little girl wiped away her tears as she said this, pressing her wet face against Gu An'an's. "Baby loves Your Majesty the most."
