Chapter 136 Teach them etiquette?

The old marquis was not angry when his pen was taken away. He was used to it. He reached out and took a new pen from the pen holder. He looked up and said, "You think too much. In our Great Chu, married women will suffer a lot of abuse even if they are divorced. Besides, Zhao'er is not here, so it is impossible to divorce or get a divorce. She will not leave."

The old marquis's resolute tone made the old lady very angry. She pushed his shoulder and complained, "You are always right. You men can divorce your wives, but why can't we women do that?"

The old marquis staggered after being pushed. He shouted, "A gentleman should speak with his mouth, not with his fists. You are unreasonable. This is the way of the world. What does it have to do with me? You are telling me to tell the truth. And, weren't you on the same side with me just now? That way, Wan'er won't leave."

Old lady: “…” That’s right.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then when can we give her the entire mansion?"

The old marquis asked in astonishment: "Is it confirmed? Don't you want to observe it? You have two daughters-in-law now."

The old lady smiled and said, "After observing, I think Wan'er can do better than me. She is very suitable to take over my job."

"Then go and tell her. If you don't tell her, no one will know what you are thinking." The old marquis said, "According to what you said today, I think Wan'er will only use the mansion's money for dining out in the future. Otherwise, she will be the same as your shopkeepers as usual."

Old lady: “…”

She really didn't want to hear the adjective "shopkeeper" again.

She married a daughter-in-law, not a shopkeeper...

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go talk to Butler Liu and ask him to teach Wan'er how to manage the accounts first."

As she was about to leave, the old marquis stopped her and said, "Don't make up your mind. Wan'er is busy teaching your two precious grandchildren recently. How can she have the time to learn how to manage accounts from Butler Liu? Do you want to tire her to death?"

Old lady: “…”

How could this old man say something that she didn't like?

The old couple were arguing here, and then they started quarreling again.

Xu Wan didn't know what they were talking about, but when Cuizhi came to report, she couldn't help laughing and sighed, "It's not bad. As long as it doesn't hurt the relationship between husband and wife, it's still more interesting than an ordinary life."

"That's right." Cuizhi agreed.

After the two finished talking, they were about to continue to go to Aunt Hong's yard, but when they were halfway there, they saw Zong Wenxiu coming out of the yard. Xu Wan was about to say hello to him, but she saw that the child seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice them.

The little devil next to him appeared out of nowhere, stood next to Xu Wan and shouted to Zong Wenxiu: "Brother, where are you going?"

Zong Wenxiu didn't hear it and continued walking out.

"Huh?" The little devil wanted to follow curiously.

Xu Wan grabbed him and said, "What are you talking about? Do you want to follow me again? Can you give Wen Xiu some private space?"

The little devil said angrily: "It's none of your business. I just like playing with my brother."

Xu Wan commented: "She's a clingy person."

The little devil bared his teeth at her fiercely and said nonsense: "You are also a clingy person. You stick to me every day. Can't you just stare at others?"

Xu Wan got goosebumps instantly and reminded: "Don't say it so scary, okay? I stick to you? Yue..."

Little Devil: “!!”

This abominable woman actually dared to despise me!

But Zong Jincheng's attention was on Zong Wenxiu at the moment, and he tried hard to break free from Xu Wan's shackles and walk out.

Xu Wan pulled him and taught him, "If you have the time, you might as well think about what Wen Xiu is thinking about now, where he is going, and whether he wants to see you."

The little devil walked out with all his strength, pushed her with both hands, and said with gritted teeth: "Of course my brother wants to see me the most. He must have forgotten to call me when he went out just now. Let go, let go, it's unreasonable, in broad daylight, you are molesting a good boy!"

Xu Wan: “…”

This little bastard is talking more and more nonsense.

Xu Wan exerted her strength, holding his shoulders with one hand and pressing his head with the other, and taught him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this how you use the word tease? How can you go out when you have such poor etiquette? Come with me to see Aunt Hong."

"I'm not going. I want to go play with my brother."

"Your brother doesn't want to play with you, come here."

"No, I won't go!"

"No, you want to go!"

"I don't want to!"

"You want to!"

“…”

Xu Wan dragged the little devil all the way into Aunt Hong's courtyard, and Cuizhi closed the courtyard door with a loud bang.

Zong Jincheng: “…”

What is this for?

Are these two women going to join forces with Aunt Hong to beat him up secretly?

The little devil thought about the difference in strength between himself and Xu Wan, and immediately shouted heartbreakingly: "Help! Save me! Xu Wan is going to kill someone! Grandfather! Grandma! Save me!!!"

The cub's cry was so piercing that the birds in several nearby yards were frightened and flew around in panic.

The old marquis was a military commander with the best hearing. He could hear it from such a distance. He quickly stood up and walked out: "Jin Cheng is calling us for help, let's go and check it out!"

"What? Why didn't I hear anything?" The old lady was also scared to death. She remembered that Xu Wan had asked them for a team of people to protect Jin Cheng, and she immediately thought that a killer had come.

The old couple walked quickly into the courtyard, and the old marquis heard another sentence: "Xu Wan, what are you doing, what are you doing... Help me..."

The old marquis choked and stopped.

"Why don't you leave?" asked the old lady who couldn't hear anything anxiously.

The old marquis was speechless and said, "You heard it wrong. It was Wan'er who was educating Jincheng."

Old lady: “…”

"I was scared to death."

When Aunt Hong heard that Xu Wan was coming, she went out to greet her and saw the mother and son fighting fiercely. One of the little kids was pretending to cry for help, and the seemingly weak woman was actually holding the kid down. The scene was so lively and vivid.

"What's wrong with you?" Aunt Hong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although she had never left the yard, Wenxiu had told her many stories about the interesting battle of wits and courage between the mother and son. She just didn't expect that this time the battle would take place in her yard.

Xu Wan held the little devil in one hand and said with a smile: "I want to ask you for help."

The little devil scratched his teeth and shouted: "Sure enough! You really want her to help you beat me! You died, she is my brother's mother, my brother hurts me the most, she will not help you!"

In fact, Zong Jincheng was not sure whether Aunt Hong would help him, but he said it out loud first to stop Aunt Hong from helping Xu Wan.

"Beat him?" Aunt Hong was surprised.

There seems to be no need to help in this one-sided situation.

Xu Wan continued to laugh and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I want to invite you to come to the study to teach the two children etiquette. I have already talked to my mother-in-law about this, and she asked me to communicate with you."

"Teach them etiquette?" Aunt Hong looked at the boy who was being held down and still struggling. His hair was disheveled, and he kept calling his stepmother by her name. He also quarreled with her every day. The only thing about him that had something to do with etiquette was his appearance.

She swallowed and said, "This seems a bit difficult."
