The city lord's wife gave Wuyou a special look and suddenly felt that Jiang Huaizhi's words made some sense.
She's already embarrassed enough; if she stays here and waits for Wuyou to throw a tantrum, it will only make her more embarrassed.
Perhaps we should let Wuyou stay here for now. Maybe if I'm not by his side, he won't dare to act so recklessly.
After careful consideration, the city lord's wife made her decision: "Alright, Wuyou, if you don't want to leave, then stay here."
After saying that, the city lord's wife walked away without any hesitation.
Wuyou sat on the ground, starting to panic.
He heard it clearly; his uncle's tone just now was obviously meant to reprimand him...
"Wait, Grandmother! If you're going to leave me here, at least make them treat me well! Or at the very least, get rid of that First Madam!"
He jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly at the city lord's wife's back.
But the city lord's wife completely ignored him, and her departing figure appeared even more resolute.
"Grandma! Don't rush off!"
He shouted it again.
The result remained unchanged.
The city lord's wife did not stop until she completely disappeared.
Wuyou was even angrier now.
He clenched his fists, pouted, and muttered, "What's with all this? Just leaving like that? Aren't they afraid I'll get bullied here?"
Wuyou kicked the leg of the table next to him, causing the teacup on it to wobble, but fortunately it didn't fall to the ground.
Jiang Huaizhi watched him lash out at the tea table, but instead of getting angry, he rested his chin on his hand and asked with amusement:
"Jiang Wuyou, why do you want to live here?"
Wuyou looked disdainful, not even glancing at Jiang Huaizhi, and muttered, "Everything in the City Lord's Mansion will be mine in the future. What's wrong with me wanting to live in this little building? What's it to you?"
Jiang Huaizhi laughed instead of getting angry: "The things in the City Lord's Mansion are all yours. Did your grandmother tell you that?"
"Otherwise what? So what if she said it? She didn't say anything wrong. If it's not mine, whose is it? It can't be Nan Yu's, can it?"
Wuyou's face was full of contempt, and he looked down on everyone and everything.
Jiang Huai nodded unmoved: "So that's how she usually teaches you."
Wuyou was already getting very impatient.
He ordered Jiang Huaizhi, "What are you babbling about? Hurry up and prepare a room for me! Don't think that just because Grandmother didn't give you any instructions before she passed away, you can treat me however you want! I want the best room! Hurry up!"
Jiang Huaizhi slowly stood up and said calmly, "Jiang Wuyou, has anyone ever told you that you look really worthy of a beating?"
Wuyou didn't care and scoffed, "Tch, do you have the guts to hit me? I'm the young master of the Jiang family. My grandparents wouldn't hit me."
"Whether they hit you or not has nothing to do with me. If I say they can hit you, then they can hit you."
Wuyou's expression changed, because he realized that Jiang Huaizhi was not joking or trying to scare him; his eyes were filled with disgust for him.
He really wanted to take action!
"You...you can forget about it! I'm Grandmother's most beloved grandson, how dare you hit me! She won't let you get away with this!"
Jiang Huaizhi sneered, completely unconcerned by his utterly ineffective threat.
"Huaiyu, take Young Master Wuyou down here and let him know the rules of our place."
Huaiyu, looking as if she had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward excitedly, clasped her hands in a fist and puffed out her sleeves: "Yes!"
He had long disliked this carefree young master. If he hadn't been ordered not to lay a hand on Wuyou before, Wuyou would probably have been beaten black and blue by him.
Today, Wuyou just happened to walk right into the line of fire.
Why did she have to say so many hurtful things about the First Madam? The young master will absolutely not tolerate it!
Huaiyu's hand passed across Wuyou's waist and lifted him up with one hand.
"Young master, madam, I must take my leave now!"
Wuyou struggled desperately in his grasp: "Let me go! You dog of a slave! Are you out of your mind?!"
Huaiyu didn't let go of him; instead, she changed her position, hoisted him onto her shoulder, and strode away with the noisy Wuyou.
Wuyou's shrill screams were like a demonic sound, making people frown.
Gu Jiangli watched helplessly as Huaiyu carried Wuyou away, and guessed Jiang Huaizhi's plan.
She asked softly, "Aren't you afraid that the city lord's wife will cause you trouble later if you treat him like this?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Huaizhi sneered. "She chose to leave Wuyou here herself. This is my place, and I naturally have my own way of treating guests. If he can't speak properly, he should suffer a bit."
"So, how do you plan to beat him up?"
“I don’t have a ruler to beat people in my little building, but there are yellow thorn trees planted outside. Just break off a thorn and it’ll be enough to hurt him. Wuyou is so disobedient because he hasn’t been beaten enough.”
Jiang Huaizhi rested his head on Gu Jiangli's shoulder, seemingly exhausted, and said, "Now I finally understand why you hate him so much. He really has a lot of annoying qualities since he was a child. But his mother dotes on him, which makes him even more annoying."
Gu Jiangli smiled faintly and remained silent.
Because she knew in her heart that Wuyou was not so annoying because she was favored.
It's not something that one or two people can teach him well.
The original owner of this body in the previous life treated Wuyou quite seriously and responsibly, but what was the end result? He still ended up being stabbed to death by Wuyou.
