"What nonsense are you spouting! I'm warning you, stop interfering in other people's business!"
Jiang Huaisong was starting to get a little exasperated.
He became particularly agitated when the topic of children came up.
Gu Jiangli seized on this point and continued:
"Why are you in such a hurry, Second Young Master? I'm just curious about why you don't let your concubines have children for you. Come to think of it, you have more than ten women in your harem. If it were anyone else, they would have a bunch of children by now. You only have one son, Young Master Wuyou, so it's hard not to wonder why."
Jiang Huaisong's brow twitched, clearly flustered.
"What...do you mean? What reason do you suspect?"
"The servants often gossip about it, haven't you heard it even once, Second Young Master? Some say it's because the women in your harem came from brothels and are no longer able to have children. Others say it's... your problem. But I think that's unlikely. If you really had a problem, how did you come to be Wuyou?"
Gu Jiangli's words were loaded with meaning, and she drew out the last syllable.
Jiang Huaisong's expression suddenly changed, and his face turned much uglier.
Gu Jiangli had no intention of stopping. "I think when I was pregnant, some people firmly believed that Huaizhi couldn't have a child, and then suspected that my Nanyu's origins were illegitimate. So, I'm more inclined to believe that those women had problems. You, Second Young Master, shouldn't have any problems, right?"
After Gu Jiangli finished speaking, she made a point of looking at Jiang Huaisong's expression.
As expected, Jiang Huaisong's face had turned ashen.
It seems he has already considered some possibilities. If she were to be too direct, she would not say more and leave it to Jiang Huaisong to speculate.
Gu Jiangli smiled faintly and left step by step, while Jiang Huaisong fell into thought and did not greet her at all.
That night, Lotus sent her a message saying that Jiang Huaisong and Sun Chan had a big fight, and this time it was more intense than usual; the two had even started fighting.
Sun Chan was no match for him, but she wasn't one to take a beating lying down, and Jiang Huaisong also got bruised.
The commotion was so great that the city lord and his wife personally went over to mediate.
Jiang Huaisong had a very volatile temper and almost attacked the city lord and his wife.
It took several people to break up the fight and finally calm him down.
Although the fighting was stopped, the reason why they started fighting was still unknown.
When asked why she hit him, Sun Chan tearfully recounted that Jiang Huaisong had assaulted her, but when asked why he did so, he couldn't utter a single word.
As a result, the city lord gave Jiang Huaisong another severe scolding. This time, the city lord's wife also sided with the city lord, believing that Jiang Huaisong was in the wrong and hoping that he could admit his mistake.
But Jiang Huaisong raised his chin and turned to Xia Wei.
"Hahaha...Miss, you didn't see it! Sun Chan was really ruthless. The scratches on the Second Young Master's face extended all the way down to his neck!"
Lotus laughed so hard she almost bent over, and Gu Jiangli's smile gradually appeared as well: "Really? It's a real pity we didn't get to see these two fighting."
"Miss is really resourceful; she managed to drive the Second Young Master crazy with just a few words."
"To be honest, I have to admire him for enduring so long without going crazy, even though he knew he had health problems. The fact that he took concubines so frequently means he knew a long time ago that he couldn't have children, but he didn't show it at all. He only started to go crazy after I told him all this today."
Lotus showed a knowing look: "Actually, the Second Young Master has wanted to vent his anger on someone for a long time, but he just hasn't found the opportunity. After your reminder today, he began to suspect that Wuyou was the child of the Second Madam's infidelity, which is why he lost his temper. I didn't expect... the Second Young Master is quite tolerant."
Gu Jiangli's opinion of him began to change.
However, once a person starts to go mad, it's very difficult to bring them back. Sun Chan's life will be difficult, and the city lord and his wife will certainly not have an easy time either.
She looked out the window and seemed to already see the chaos and turmoil in the city lord's mansion.
At this moment, Lotus's voice disappeared, and a pair of arms encircled her waist.
She didn't turn around; she knew that aura all too well. "You're back?"
Jiang Huai buried his head in the crook of her neck and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, I'm back."
Why are you so tired?
His voice sounded really tired.
Jiang Huaizhi raised his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I've been busy these past two days, taking over a few shops and arranging for Nanyu to go to Baiwen Academy, but I can still manage."
After he finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject: "I heard about what happened today. It's such a pity. I wasn't there when they started fighting."
Gu Jiangli couldn't help but laugh: "Do you really want to see them fight?"
"Of course I want that. It would be best if my father and mother fought with them together. I would be happy to see them go crazy."
"Then you're in for a good show. Jiang Huaisong has already started to doubt Wuyou's background."
"I'm looking forward to seeing this show." Jiang Huai's words were full of doting affection.
Gu Jiangli suddenly stopped smiling: "Will this disrupt your plans?"
"Of course not, I'd be happy to see them fighting like dogs."
Gu Jiangli leaned on him tenderly.
Everything is developing according to Jianghuai's plan.
The relationship between Jiang Huaisong and Sun Chan has already broken down. Before long, Jiang Wuyou's bad temper will become even more unrestrained, and Sun Chan will make a scene in front of the city lord and his wife. The day when Jiang Wuyou's true identity is revealed will be the day when the city lord's mansion undergoes a dramatic upheaval.
From then on, Jiang Huaisong's temperament became increasingly strange. He no longer ignored Sun Chan as before, but began to touch her inappropriately.
