Looking at Ruyi's fierce little expression, Gu Jin just found her cute and couldn't help but smile.

The child eventually learned bad things from her.

"Let her in. I want to hear what she wants from me."

Gu Rou walked into the room angrily, and Ruyi stood vigilantly beside Gu Jin's bed with her fists clenched.

The young master asked her to protect the young mistress and to kick out anyone who dared to disturb the young mistress's rest, no matter who it was.

"Gu Jin! My father and mother are your uncle and aunt after all. They raised you for so many years, and you treat them like this?"

Gu Jin didn't understand what was going on, and Gu Rou was even more furious when she saw her like this, "Stop pretending, it must be you who instigated Xie Ran to cut off the tongues of those people and throw them on my mother's bed.

They just said a few bad things about you, are you so cruel? "

Gu Jin was stunned. When did this happen? How come she didn’t know about it?

Murong Qing said, "I did hear that thieves entered the Marquis of Anding, but they were discovered and killed by the palace guards when they were committing a crime. I don't know anything else."

Gu Jin guessed what happened, looked at Gu Rou with a faint smile and said, "Why don't I understand what you said, Second Sister? Even if I let Xie Ran vent my anger, why would I throw him into Second Uncle and Second Aunt's room?

Could it be that those people were hired by my second uncle and second aunt to slander me?"

Gu Rouyu was speechless. When she heard that Li was so frightened that she fell ill and came to Gu Jin to settle the score in anger, she didn't think too much about it for the moment.

The Anding Marquis's Mansion kept it a secret and did not dare to come and question Xie Ran, for fear that Li's actions would be discovered.

"How could my father and mother do such a thing! But you have a deep resentment towards them, and no one else would do this except you!" Gu Rou still argued stubbornly.

Gu Jin sighed and shook his head, "I never thought that my second sister would miss me so much, so I have to clear my name.

Ruyi, you should go to Jingzhao Prefecture and ask them to find out the truth of the matter."

Gu Rou's face was filled with panic. Xie Ran would definitely not leave any traces if he dared to do this, but Li's affairs might not be able to withstand investigation.

Just as Gu Rou was about to speak up to stop them, a maid suddenly came in and said, "Madam, the eldest young master is here."

"What is he doing here?" Gu Jin asked unhappily.

The little maid looked up at Gu Rou and said as if she had made a great decision: "Please forgive me, Madam. It was the Master who asked me to tell you what he had said."

Before Gu Rou could react, she heard the maidservant say in a harsh tone: "He told you to get out right now. If you come out and embarrass him again, he will... divorce you!"

Gu Rou's face turned red, as if she had been slapped hard in the face.

How could he ridicule her like this in front of Gu Jin? How could she ever hold her head up in front of Gu Jin in the future!

Gu Rou was unwilling to listen to Xie Qing's words, but the tears in her eyes were about to burst out, and she didn't want Gu Jin to see her crying.

Watching Gu Rou run away with gritted teeth, Murong Qing sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Fortunately you got on the wrong sedan chair. I think General Xie is better."

That's natural!

Gu Jin replied subconsciously.

"Ruyi, go get the things."

Murong Qing took the box handed over by Gu Jin and opened it with curiosity.

There were several bottles of face cream that Murong Qing often used, as well as some banknotes. "What is this?"

"You are a great contributor to Yuyan Pavilion. This is your dividend."

"No, I can't accept this!" Murong Qing pushed the box back resolutely, "I should be thanking you, it's not right for me to accept your things in return."

Gu Jin did not allow her to refuse. "Having said that, the advertising effect you brought is unquestionable. If it weren't for you, the Yuyan Pavilion new product launch would not have gone so smoothly."

"Advertising effect?" Murong Qing tilted her head, puzzled.

"You don't need to understand this, just accept the money. I would give the same amount of money to someone else, so don't feel any psychological burden.

If you really feel bad, you can go to my restaurant and have a few more meals."

Sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone. Making money together doubles the happiness.

She is rich, and the people around her cannot be poor.

On the other side, Gu Rou and Xie Qing had an unprecedented fierce argument.

"Xie Qing, what exactly are your intentions today? Why did you deliberately embarrass me in front of Gu Jin?"

Seeing Xie Qing remained silent, Gu Rou's anger burned even more fiercely. She stared at Xie Qing with wide eyes and asked, "Xie Qing, I am your legitimate wife, can you please straighten your attitude?

You were the one who abandoned Gu Jin in the first place, so why are you regretting it now? "

Xie Qing raised his eyes and looked coldly at Gu Rou's slightly ferocious face, and said word by word: "Yes, I regret it!"

Gu Rou was completely stunned. She was just having an emotional outburst just now, but at this moment Xie Qing was so calm that it was chilling.

He is serious!

"You...how could you do this..."

"What do you want me to do?" Xie Qing was usually a cold person, but today his eyes were filled with a kind of coldness that Gu Rou had never seen before.

"Have you done one smart thing since you married me?

Because of marrying you, I was scolded by my grandmother and father, and was considered a traitor in the eyes of others.

And you! Have you ever fulfilled even half of your wife's duties?"

The emotions that had been pent up in Xie Qing's heart for a long time all turned into dissatisfaction with Gu Rou today, "You can be useless, but you can't keep holding me back!

Don't you know what your mother did? What qualifications do you have to ask Gu Jin for an explanation? Don't you think I've embarrassed you enough?"

Gu Rou looked at Xie Qing in disbelief. The cold man in front of her made her feel unfamiliar and scared.

"You...you can't treat me like this." Gu Rou's tears fell, filled with fear, grievance and an unspeakable regret.

Is this the marriage she had managed so hard to snatch from Gu Jin?

Xie Ran's eyes, which were always gentle and affectionate, could not help but emerge in her mind. If she had not married Xie Qing, she would definitely be held in the palm of Xie Ran's hand at this moment.

"If you still want to be the future wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, then you should behave yourself and stop causing trouble for Gu Jin. Think carefully about how to be a good wife, otherwise..."

Xie Qing looked down at Gu Rou coldly, without any sympathy in his tone, "Otherwise I don't mind divorcing my wife and marrying someone else!"

Xie Qing said this coldly and turned away. Gu Rou cried at the table for a long time until her tears ran dry.

"Madam, the eldest master must be angry too, please don't take it to heart." Hehuan felt bad seeing Gu Rou crying like this.

Gu Rou covered her face and sobbed, murmuring hoarsely, "I was wrong, all wrong..."

She shouldn't have let Gu Jin marry in her place. Gu Jin should have been living her life!

Gu Rou covered her face, a dark light flickered in her eyes. Since it was a mistake in the beginning, it was time to make things right...
