Chapter 199 200. Trouble at the Door
"He sublet our previous yard?" Jin Qianqian looked at Hong Tianbao in surprise, and then said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that they were smart enough to become second-hand landlords."
Gu Wenheng, "I was still saying yesterday that I would wait until tomorrow to cancel the lease with the landlord, but I didn't expect him to take advantage of it.
You just said that they rented a house that was very remote and small? "
Hong Tianbao did not hide anything and told them everything that happened and what he saw when he followed the two siblings out.
"So the house was sublet and the money was given to his so-called brother-in-law?" Jin Qianqian didn't expect that there would be such a brainless person. Is this the power of pillow talk as everyone knows?
"..." Gu Wenheng repeatedly suppressed his temper, "Tianbao, take two more people with you later. If he still can't walk, carry him back to me."
"Then, what about Miss Song?"
“…Don’t worry about her for now.” Gu Wenheng was really angry this time. Even if the Gu Le family had planned something before, most of it was inseparable from Xiuniang’s instigation.
Gu Wenheng admitted that he was angry at others but he did not make false accusations.

"Sister, don't cry here. They've taken the person back. You should go and take a look." Little Brother Song's face was full of impatience. Can crying all day solve the problem?
"Goudan, what can I do? They are from a wealthy family, and I can't even get through the door.
His seventh uncle must be angry, why don't you give me the rent first, and I'll go to his house with some money to apologize."
"I've already told you, don't call me Goudan," Song Goudan said with a sinister look on his face, "You and my brother-in-law have a marriage certificate, so what if we use some of his money?
Moreover, they can live in such a big yard and care about the little bit we have.
Don't forget that their family is going to leave here soon. If they take my brother-in-law away, you will be labeled as an abandoned woman again.
Being a jinx is bad enough, and you want to add another bad name to yourself?"
"How can you say that to my sister? Who am I doing all this for?" Song Xiuniang raised her face. She had already burst into tears, but she did not see a trace of heartache in her brother's eyes.
Her heart felt cold. This was the man she had been protecting wholeheartedly. She had constantly compromised with her stepmother for him, and even risked being accused of being unfilial to help him break away from his biological father and stepmother.
"I am worried about you, too. Don't cry here. Go over there and wait. If they don't let you in, just kneel there. I don't believe they have no shame."
Whenever he thought about watching the benefits he had obtained slip away, Song Goudan felt furious and looked at his sister in front of him even more displeased.

"You mean, Xiuniang is kneeling outside now?" Jin Qianqian heard Qingzhu's reply, "Has Le Jia woken up?"
"He got up at dawn. The kitchen brought him two small bowls of rice porridge." Qinglan helped Jin Qianqian comb her hair and then inserted a silver hairpin into it.
"Nothing?"
Qingzhu shook his head. "I heard from the servants that he lay down again after eating the rice porridge. Now I don't know whether he is awake or asleep."
"Then let her continue kneeling. Without an audience, will she be able to continue singing this show?"
Thinking of Gu Wenheng going out early in the morning, Jin Qianqian felt a little regretful. Why didn't she follow him?
&
Such a weak and thin woman kneeling at the door soon attracted a crowd of onlookers.
No one understood the reason, but that didn't stop them from watching the show. Some people even squatted down to ask Xiuniang.
"My husband is in there, but they won't let me see him." When Xiuniang said this, she covered her face and cried. No matter what others asked, she refused to say a word.
"Isn't this bullying? Judging from her clothes, she is also a young wife from a poor family.
This couldn't be because he had offended someone in this family and arrested their husband."
"If that's the case, then it's really possible that something bad might happen. Don't kneel here, little girl. Go report to the police."
"Yes, we can't spoil these people, otherwise we poor people will have no way to survive."
"..." Many people present gave her advice and some even picked up small stones and quietly threw them at the closed door.
The doorman heard something strange and ran in to tell Butler Fu.
Jiang Zhongfu quickly put down the work in his hands and rushed to the door to see what was going on.
"Isn't this nonsense? Madam Song didn't say a word. What is she trying to do?"
Before they could think too long, changes occurred outside again.
"I know this person. She is the widowed daughter of the Song family. I heard that she has married a man from another place. What is her current situation?"
"We have all heard about this. We heard that this foreigner's family has some wealth. Not only did he give his stepmother a large betrothal gift, he also took her to live in a big house. Could it be that this family is the one who brought him here?"
"These rich young masters are just looking for something new for a while, but once the newness wears off, this is what happens."
"What are you guys talking about here? We locals are being bullied by outsiders, and instead of trying to get back at them, you're just standing here watching the joke."
"Then go ahead. You are not even related to her, and you still want to help her out!"
"We'll just come forward. There are so many of us, don't we still need justice?"
"Yes, let them open the door and come out to give an explanation."
"They are already a couple, why do you keep them at home and not let them see each other?"
The noises were getting louder and louder, more and more people were gathering at the door, and Butler Fu, who was standing in the gatehouse, had an increasingly solemn expression on his face.
He made a decision quickly and pointed to one of the servants and said, "Go and inform the madam. I'll go out and take a look first."
The corner door was opened, and everyone stared at Jiang Zhongfu, "He's out."
The scene suddenly became quiet, and Butler Fu clasped his hands together and said, "Everyone, these are just some family matters, let's go."
"How is this a family matter? You can't bully a weak woman. She has been kneeling here for a long time, and you are just coming out now. Isn't this obviously bullying?"
"Yes, let the head of this family come out and give an explanation. He has already married her, how can he just kick her out?"
"Madam Song, why don't you explain it to everyone?" Butler Fu ignored these people and looked directly at Song Xiuniang who was kneeling on the ground and dared not look up at him.
"Why do you still call Madam Song like this? It may not be a misunderstanding on our part. It has nothing to do with this family at all."
