Chapter 232 Backlash

Chapter 232 Backlash

Could it be that Lin Wanhui and Gu Changqing were too naive, thinking that the matter would be settled just by taking out the letter?

Oh, I really underestimated the Liu family.

She is Xu Sidong's second wife. What does second wife mean?

Xu Sidong had a legitimate wife at the beginning, but she died after leaving behind a son and a daughter. Later, Xu Sidong married another woman, who is now Liu.

Liu was a very capable and resourceful person. Although her son was born of legitimate parents, he had Xu Shaoyuan above him, so he could not be considered the eldest legitimate son. As for the title of the Duke's Mansion, naturally only Xu Shaoyuan, born to the first wife, could inherit the title. However, Liu used tricks and means to make her son Xu Shaozhen obtain the title. As for the real eldest legitimate son Xu Shaoyuan, he had long been driven out of the Duke's Mansion. Not to mention inheriting the title, he had no chance of having anything in the Duke's Mansion.

How could such a capable woman suffer a loss at the hands of Lin Wanhui?

Of course, he didn't even read the letter and just tore it to pieces.

“You, what are you doing!”

Seeing Liu tear up the letter, Lin Wanhui got anxious and rushed forward to snatch it. Liu was even more fierce. She stood up and slapped Lin Wanhui in the face. Then, as if she thought that the slap was not enough to vent her emotions, she turned around and kicked Lin Wanhui to the ground. She did not forget to look up and continue to order the servants: "This lowly concubine actually tried to offend the master. Get her out of the door!"

"W-what!"

Lin Wanhui was dumbfounded. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen such a shameless person. What did she mean by "collision"? She just wanted to get the letters back...

It must be said that I am just a concubine and I don't know what to say or do. Gu Changqing doesn't have much ability to begin with, and when the two of them get together, they can ruin a good hand. This time it was clearly them who brought the letter and they were in the right, but now they have someone tear up the letter and destroyed the last bit of evidence, leaving us with nothing.

Lin Wanhui was so angry, but it was useless. It was too late and there was no point in regretting.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

Everything happened so fast that it was completely unexpected. Gu Changqing was completely confused. How could he be talking just fine, but now it turned out like this?

However, Xu Sidong did not scold his wife for her reaction. He could be said to have let her do what she wanted. After all, these letters were not good for his son, especially since the other party was a concubine's son, that is, a bastard's son. How could such a person be worthy of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, who was not the emperor's daughter?

However, Xu Sidong was still somewhat shrewd. He smiled and said, "I know Brother Gu has no intention of offending you, but there are some things that cannot be dealt with by bringing a concubine to our house and hurting the harmony between us brothers. It is better to invite the lady over and we can talk it over."

You brought a concubine here and you still have the nerve to ask how it turned out like this?

If Xu Sidong had known that she was a concubine, he would not have let her in.

Moreover, what Xu Sidong said was very clever. Everyone knew that the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion did not have a mistress now. If they asked the mistress to come, it would take who knows when. This was also equivalent to completely pushing the matter away, leaving Gu Changqing unable to say anything.

After all, there is no one worth mentioning in the Marquis' Mansion now. Zou is bedridden and cannot be visited by the public. As for Gu Zhao, it is even more impossible for him to come. It would be embarrassing for a concubine to give birth to a child and want to marry into the Duke's Mansion as his main wife. Gu Zhao would definitely not come to visit.

Xu Sidong made a gesture to send him away. Seeing this, Gu Changqing was so angry that he trembled all over. He felt that he was insulted.

"Okay, okay, your Duke's Mansion has never looked down upon our Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Okay, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Gu Changqing stood up and said, "Wanhui, let's go!"

"But, but those letters..."

"It's all torn up, what do you want the letter for? Let's go!"

Gu Changqing was so annoyed, everything went wrong!

He found that without Su Jin, his life became worse and worse.

In the past, it was just the backyard that was a mess, but now it has spread to work, life, and every aspect. Even when I come to my friends’ place, I’ll be embarrassed!

How did it become like this? Was he really incompetent? No, it shouldn't be like this. After all, he was the son of a marquis. He had enough food, clothing, books, and experiences. He couldn't be incompetent!

Gu Changqing's mind was a mess. He couldn't understand why Su Jin, who just stayed in the backyard and had no contact with his work and life, could mess up his life?

However, what Gu Changqing couldn't understand was exactly what he ignored.

The backyard was in chaos before, that was because Lin Wanhui could not reach out, and was suppressed by Su Jin in the backyard. Although there were quarrels every day in the backyard and it was in a mess, Lin Wanhui did not jump out in the end. Gu Changqing had to thank the original body for making trouble, thank the original body for turning the backyard upside down, and thank him for marrying the original body. If he had replaced someone weaker, he would have been crushed to death by Lin Wanhui long ago.

However, now that Su Jin and Di Li have left the house, Lin Wanhui no longer has someone oppressing her, so isn't she jumping up and down?

You want to control everything, but you don't look at your own status. You are just a concubine. Doing things that you shouldn't do will only cause others to laugh at you. They will laugh at you for who you are, Lin Wanhui. Do you really think you are a dish?

Gu Changqing couldn't understand this. In his mind, he would only think that it was all Su Jin's fault. She didn't manage the backyard well and now she left the house. All of this was because this woman insisted on leaving him!

As for what Gu Changqing was thinking, no one cared. It was just that Gu Changqing had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked this time. After all, the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, Liu, had never been an easy person to get along with.

And since Xu Sidong said such words, Liu would not give face to Gu Changqing. After all, they had already torn their faces apart. There were some things that Xu Sidong, as a friend, could not say, but she was just a woman, she could say it, and most importantly, the person standing here was not the lady of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, but just a concubine, so she had nothing to worry about.

Liu pointed at their backs and cursed, "What kind of family are you? How dare you come to our Duke's Mansion to seek marriage? Look at what's going on in your mansion? It's all spread out, and it's spreading like wildfire. I, a woman, feel ashamed when I hear it. A good lady actually had an affair with someone before getting a divorce. What kind of good children can you raise with such a lady in your Yong'an Marquis' Mansion? Now you're still dreaming of letting Gu Ruyu marry into our mansion. Ha, this Gu Ruyu is well-educated. She knows how to seduce our real brother at such a young age. Is this the family education of your Yong'an Marquis' Mansion? Now, Lord Gu, you want to bring your concubine to our house to seek marriage. Oh, this concubine, you have such a big face!"

“You, you!”

Gu Changqing was so angry that he was shaking all over. He never thought that the rumors he made up would eventually backfire on him! !
