Chapter 22: Bullying, cool
Well, you want to close the door and bully her girl again, right?
Donghua stood forward, her back straight, "Second Miss Gu is still ill and her voice is hoarse. If Aunt Gu has anything to say, please say it in front of us. I can speak for you."
Aunt Pei was confronted by a servant and became furious.
He slammed the table and shouted, "Are all the servants in the Duke's Mansion so presumptuous?"
Donghua sneered: "Ha, of course people from the Duke's Mansion can be so unrestrained. The rules of your Marquis' Mansion are messed up. Isn't my aunt a servant? Why are you setting up a stage to sell crabs? The goods are ordinary, but the show is grand."
Donghua fully demonstrated the meaning of "taking advantage of one's power to bully others".
Gu Huan felt very good.
He suppressed his laughter and quickly lowered his head.
Aunt Pei was so angry that she was fuming. Just as she was about to curse back, she was stopped by Gu Wanru, who glared at her with disgust.
Shameful!
Gu Wanru acted like a young lady from the Duke's Mansion and lectured in a hoarse voice: "Aunt, you don't know the rules. This is the Duke's Mansion, do you think it's the Gu family's Marquis' Mansion? It's ok for you to show off in the Marquis' Mansion, but now you have to abide by the rules of the Duke's Mansion."
Aunt Pei's arrogance dissipated instantly like a punctured balloon.
"What the eldest girl said is true. The eldest girl is well-educated and well-mannered. Don't bother with an ignorant bitch like Gu Huan."
Yeah hey!
Donghua was furious. Her daughter hadn't even said a word yet, but she was being criticized for no reason.
Just as he was about to step forward to argue, he was pulled back by Gu Huan.
She stepped forward, bent down, and spoke with a hoarse voice, "My daughter has met my aunt and my eldest sister."
The sound was so faint that it was almost inaudible.
Seeing that she was still obedient, Aunt Pei's sense of control returned.
"Tell the person who came with you to leave. I have something to tell you."
Aunt Pei was just about to act like a real mother and walked to the chair to sit down.
Donghua was quick-witted and quick-handed. She stuck her butt out and bumped it against Aunt Pei's butt, then helped Gu Huan push onto the chair.
"Girl, you are not feeling well, please sit down."
Aunt Pei was knocked off balance and was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Donghua in the face.
Suddenly, a figure flashed before her eyes. She didn't know what the man did, but her raised arm got stuck. She felt a piercing pain and opened her mouth to scream.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... What did you stab me with?"
Gu Wanru was frightened and held her stomach, her face turning pale with anger.
Shen Li withdrew his hand, shook the two-inch long thin silver needle in his hand, and said coldly: "If you dare to speak dirty again, you will become mute."
Aunt Pei turned pale with fear and looked at Gu Huan, who was sitting there in silence, in horror.
Gu Huan, who has always been cowardly, seemed like a different person.
Donghua sneered: "In our Duke's Mansion, where the master is, concubines and servants have no right to sit."
Aunt Pei was furious: "I am the mother-in-law of the son of Duke Yong!"
Donghua raised her eyebrows and said loudly in an exaggerated tone, "Our young master's mother-in-law is Madam Gu. What kind of mother-in-law are you, my aunt? If you dare to say it, we servants dare not listen, lest we break the rules of respect and inferiority."
Aunt Pei's face turned red.
Gu Huan cleared her throat and spoke in a low voice, "Mrs. Pei, don't forget your status. You're bringing shame to the Gu family and making father unhappy."
Oh, how dare that little bitch use Lord Gu to pressure her?
Aunt Pei was so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't dare to do anything to the people in the Duke's Mansion, but couldn't she deal with the little bitch Gu Huan?
Seeing that Gu Wanru was unwell, he wanted to end the matter quickly, so he suppressed his anger and went straight to the point.
"Gu Huan, your fiancé has arrived in the capital. I'm going to take you back to meet him, reminisce about the past, and discuss the wedding date."
Gu Huan, who had been expressionless, slightly changed her expression and looked up at her.
Really find her a fiancé?
Gu Wanru leaned weakly against Jin Kui and said softly, "Sister, I am here for your lifelong event. You are getting married, so you can't just stay in the Duke's Mansion and not go home, right? The people in the Duke's Mansion will say that our Gu family has no manners."
Does the Gu family have such a thing as tutoring?
Gu Huan wondered why Gu Wanru changed her mind again?
Doesn't she want to marry the Duke anymore?
It is definitely not possible to leave the house now, otherwise she won’t know how she died.
Gu Huan glanced at Dong Hua.
Donghua raised her head and said, "The master asked Miss Gu to copy the manuscript for the late wife, but Miss Gu is too busy to return home."
"It's impossible for the Duke to hold his unmarried daughter hostage, right? If word gets out..."
Gu Huan stood up and bent over: "Aunt, please be careful with your words! After all, it was my elder sister who promised to let me take over for the Duke. If I want to go back, I have to explain something."
"You must come with me now." Aunt Pei was used to giving orders to Gu Huan.
The little bitch is dreaming of clinging to the Duke, and trying to turn a chicken into a phoenix by flying onto a tree.
Don’t even think about it!
How could she allow the little bitch to escape her control and climb over her daughter's head?
Gu Huan glanced at her and said, "Can I bear the blame from the Duke? Do you think about my elder sister?"
Aunt Pei hurriedly looked at Gu Wanru, and when she saw her wink, she suppressed her anger.
"Then I'll wait for you here, and you can come back quickly."
Are you determined to take her away today?
Gu Huan lowered her eyes for a moment, then thought of a way to foil Aunt Pei's plot.
Gu Huan smiled faintly: "Auntie, did you leave the house without permission? Does mother agree? Has the Duke's Mansion received Auntie's official visiting card?"
These three sentences made Aunt Pei's face change drastically.
She saw that the Duke's Mansion suddenly sent a box of gifts to the Marquis' Mansion, saying that because Gu Huan worked for the Duke, the Duke sent a dowry for Gu Huan's upcoming marriage.
Marquis Gu and his wife were both confused. Aunt Pei was panicked, fearing that Gu Wanru had not let her son-in-law succeed.
Today I received another letter from Gu Wanru, saying that Gu Huan was out of control and her brother-in-law had a falling out with her because he couldn't get her, and asked her to think of a solution.
She was worried that her daughter would be wronged, so she took the risk of sneaking out of the Marquis' Mansion, and then Jin Kui quietly opened the side door of the Duke's Mansion to let her in.
Gu Huan looked at her expression and knew that she had guessed correctly.
She smiled faintly: "Mrs. Pei, please go back to where you came from. Don't let your elder sister get involved. Your elder sister is in a bad mood recently and has had a quarrel with her son-in-law. If she offends the Duke again, have you thought about the consequences?"
After finishing this long string of words, Gu Huan's throat began to smoke again and she couldn't help coughing.
Upon seeing this, Chen Li immediately gave her two green pills.
As soon as the pill went down my throat, I felt much better.
The flames of anger in my heart have dissipated a lot.
Gu Huan didn't want to look at them again and turned away.
Aunt Pei was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"The little bitch has become more irritable after entering the Duke's Mansion?"
Gu Wanru held her back and said, "Jin Kui, go and guard outside."
See Jin Kui go out and close the door.
Gu Wanru frowned and lowered her voice, "Auntie, please keep your voice down. This is the Duke's Mansion. If someone hears me, I will be embarrassed."
Aunt Pei immediately changed her face to a loving mother: "You are pregnant, so don't worry too much. I will take the little bitch out of the mansion for you and train her well. I guarantee that she will come back obediently."
Gu Wanru frowned: "Actually, I don't know if father really likes her, but last night the chief steward came to tell her to live alone in Yayun Pavilion. If it's true, do we have to take the initiative? What if we anger father? Mu An hasn't become the prince yet."
Aunt Pei shook her head: "Although I have never met the Duke of Yong, I have heard a lot about him. He looks down on all the noble ladies in the capital, so how could he fall for that bitch Gu Huan? I think that little bitch is just daydreaming.
The Duke only took a liking to her handwriting and made her a copyist. As for the residence, it is just for the convenience of copying.
I'm not saying anything bad to you, you're just too naive and easily fooled by that bitch. Don’t you think that if she really gets close to the Duke, she will still be humble to you? Even if I become your aunt, I am still your elder.
Besides, what about your husband? The person he fell in love with became his father's aunt. Wouldn't he be furious? Now, your best confidant has also been killed. You can't lose not only your wife but also your soldiers, and also lose the favor of your husband. ”
Gu Wanru agreed with him: "I was really pissed off by my husband. I believed the nonsense of that little bitch."
She rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, you arrange a place, give her something to drink, and I'll let my husband go over. As long as I do what my husband wants, he will know how good I am."
"That's right." Aunt Pei patted her chest proudly and said, "I'll take care of this matter. Don't worry."
Aunt Pei suddenly smiled complacently: "The one in the family won't live long either. When your mother becomes the legitimate daughter, you can legitimately return to my name and be my legitimate daughter."
Gu Wanru's face darkened: "Aunt, please stop talking nonsense."
Even if her mother died and her aunt became the legal wife, she would still be the biological daughter of her original mother.
It is precisely because of this dignity that Duke Yong proposed to her for his son, right?
If the news that she was her aunt's biological daughter were to spread, both mother and daughter would face a devastating disaster.
She was totally losing face.
