Chapter 171: Helping but causing

more trouble Old Madam Gu laughed in anger.

"It's really easy to be the father and grandfather of the Duke. As long as they are still alive, they are treated well. Look at them now that they are forced to leave the mansion. Do they deserve the treatment of the eldest son of the legitimate family?"

Because of this, the Duke was also very troubled.

"A few days ago, my son-in-law was stabbed by thieves and has been in a coma ever since. When he woke up, Dongyuan had been burned to ashes. Liu Lang also moved them here. Even if I wanted to let them go back, I was powerless."

"However, don't worry, mother-in-law. I will welcome you back when the East Garden is repaired. You are just staying at Liu Lang's place temporarily now."

When he said these words, his eyes were quite sincere.

It’s a pity that sincerity is of no use to Old Madam Gu, and all she has is endless disgust towards him.

"Take him back, what's the point of taking him back? Are you going to continue to live a life of no response from heaven or earth? Duke, there is a god above your head. Your heart has already turned to the West City Gate, so stop pretending in front of me, an old woman."

Shang Yukuan wanted to explain, but he saw that Madam Gu had already waved her hand and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Alright, I just have one thing to say. If you want to come to the welcoming banquet, then come, but you are allowed to come alone. If you don't want to come, then don't come. We, the Gu family, don't have to marry you!"

After saying this, Madam Gu spoke to Nanny Qin beside her.

"see a visitor out."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shang Yukuan came here because he had something to ask for, otherwise why would he come here to be scolded?

But before he could say a few words, Old Madam Gu blocked his way.

What could he do? Thinking of Madam Wei outside the door, he also had a headache.

She has taken great pains to take care of herself these days, so she has made some contributions and has worked hard.

Besides, coming to the general's mansion for a banquet is not a big deal.

Even if they don't have a post, you'll still get it.

I took this trip just to make myself more legitimate, but now it seems that I have cut off my own path.

Not to mention the Wei family, even the people from the merchant Wei family have no chance of entering the mansion.

He was in a very difficult situation, but Nanny Qin came up to him and wanted to send him out, so what could he do?

I could only sigh and followed him out the door dejectedly.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Mrs. Wei coming to greet me.

Her cheeks were a little red because she was standing in the cold wind, and so was her nose.

She was originally full of hope, but after seeing her husband's expression, she understood roughly what was going on and asked anxiously.

"What did the old lady say?"

Shang Yukuan shook his head, his face showing helplessness and embarrassment.

Mrs. Wei was a little unhappy when she saw this. In fact, she came here not only for the Duke's Mansion, but also for the Wei family.

All the famous people in the whole Sui'an City were invited, but these two families were not invited. Isn't this telling everyone that they are not on good terms with them? Everything else is a small matter, the trouble is the marriage of Shang Qilang and Wei Jialian.

They are both of marriageable age. Wouldn't it be a pity if they didn't show up at such a great party? So, she said with red eyes.

"The old lady still doesn't agree? How about I go in and talk to her? My sister has been very kind to me in the past. I can't just stop communicating with her for the rest of my life because of a misunderstanding."

The sister that Mrs. Wei was referring to was naturally Mrs. Gu.

She can act on her own, but unfortunately there is no one to watch her act.

Nanny Qin lowered the curtain without saying a word and closed the door.

His attitude was so cold that anyone could see that he did not welcome them.

Nanny Dou and Butler He also came out immediately as if they had predicted the time and spoke to the two of them.

"My Lord, please."

"Mrs. Wei, please."

Such behavior made the two of them feel embarrassed. Mrs. Wei wanted to beg him again, but Shang Yukuan was too embarrassed to do so.

Go straight outside!

Mrs. Wei was extremely angry, but she couldn't say anything at this moment.

After leaving the general's mansion, the two of them got on the carriage.

At this moment, her heart was colder than the weather outside, and Mrs. Wei started crying as usual.

"Even if the old lady is not happy with me, please don't involve the children. We are all family, so why can't we come to this feast? And my family members didn't send us an invitation. Isn't this a slap in our faces?"

"Master, tell me, if I was really the black-hearted stepmother that people say I was, would my children have been able to grow up well? How come everyone can come and step on me?"

She cried sadly and Shang Yukuan also sighed continuously.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The old lady is not dissatisfied with you, but with me. From what she said, if everyone in our house really goes there, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Otherwise...or let it go."

"Forget it? How can you let it go, Master?"

Such an occasion would not be something that the Duke's Mansion would be able to reach in the future.

Originally, Shang Yukuan was not valued in the court. In the past, perhaps he could gain some attention from others because of Shang Ji's face.

But now, I am afraid that after the banquet is over, the wind direction in Sui'an City will change.

The Wei family is better off, at least their father and brothers are both prestigious in the court, but I'm afraid their Duke's Mansion is really struggling.

Although he still has the support of Prince Fu's Mansion, Yu Shang Qilang's future is not very good.

Therefore, Mrs. Wei was very anxious.

But even though she was anxious, Shang Yukuan was powerless and could only shake his head and sigh.

"If you have a way, go ahead and do it yourself. I have no other tricks. Didn't you see how the old lady looked just now? She was eager to eat me!"

After all, they are relatives, so why are the people from the Gu family so ruthless when they turn against each other?

Mrs. Wei was extremely angry when she heard what her husband said, but there was nothing she could do.

Her husband's weakness had been going on for a long time, so she had to find another way.

Maybe it would be better to go to Princess Yuehua's door? Thinking of this, I felt that it was time to go to Prince Fu's Mansion.

So after the carriage sent Shang Yukuan back to the Duke's Mansion, she did not get off the carriage. Instead, she asked the driver to change direction and go straight to Prince Fu's Mansion.

There are only a few days left and she doesn't want to delay.

When the Duke saw her leave in a hurry, he felt powerless.

Thinking of his mother-in-law's disgust and disdain for him today, he also had a headache.

I really don't know what kind of expression I should put on when I attend the housewarming party.

On the other side, Xu Lai came to the courtyard.

Madam Gu was sitting in the car calmly, while Madam Xing next to her was cursing loudly.

"This Duke really has the nerve to come to my house! He even dares to bring that Madam Wei with him! Shameless people are really shameless, and neither of them is a good person!"
