The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

"Please forgive her this time. She has realized her mistake. She might have a heat stroke after being forced to kneel for such a long time."

Yu spoke sincerely, and in between words, she turned her head to look outside the yard from time to time.

She saw that the sun outside was too hot and the cicadas were chirping loudly. It was fine for her to stay indoors, but she couldn't really stand in the yard for an hour.

How can this girl's knees bear kneeling for so long?

Seeing that the Marquis did not express his opinion, Yu lowered her head humbly again, "Marquis, Jiayao has been working so hard for the Marquis's Mansion these days that she has not even had a good night's sleep."

"If she is severely punished for such a small matter, it will probably chill the girl's heart."

The Marquis took the tea handed to him by the maid, lowered his head and blew it, "You speak for her?"

There was no warmth in his words. "I would like to ask you, did she act on her own today? Did she interrupt me when I was speaking? Isn't this disrespectful to the elders?"

"Also, the matter of the child."

"Do you really think I don't know that she doesn't want Gu Huai to touch her at all?"

When Yu heard this, her eyes widened slightly in surprise, "This... Marquis."

The Marquis glanced at her impatiently, "It's Gu Huai's business if he doesn't want to touch her, but as a wife, how can she not take the initiative to serve her husband?"

"She has not fulfilled her wifely duties at all."

"In this regard, she is not even comparable to the daughter of the Wen family. Humph, you had high hopes for her at the beginning, but now, she can't even be a filial daughter."

The Yu family suffered a setback.

Everything the Marquis said made sense. In an era when men are in power, women should obey them unconditionally, but Jia Yao indeed did not do that.

"My Lord, Jiayao definitely didn't mean that. She is still so young, and she was ignored by Huai'er before. She probably thought that Huai'er only had Lin in her heart, and she wanted to make it happen. That's why she didn't have a wedding night with Huai'er."

"Hmph!" A sneer appeared on the Marquis's lips.

"You really tried every possible way to find excuses for her, but I want to ask. Even if she wanted to help others, did she forget her duties as a wife? She was unwilling to have any contact with Gu Huai even once."

"That's definitely not what you said."

Seeing that she couldn't refute the Marquis, Yu changed her mind and said, "My Lord, I will discipline Jiayao in the future and tell her not to make mistakes on such trivial matters again."

"Please have mercy on her, she is just a child."

"She will definitely become a better daughter-in-law."

The Marquis thought for a while, stared at the sky outside and said, "Since you pleaded for her, I'll let it go this time. Let her kneel for half an hour."

Yu was overjoyed, "Thank you, my Lord."

Er Yue brought a palm leaf fan and stood by to fan Cheng Jiayao. She was also very hot, her temples were wet, and the collar of her clothes was sticking to her neck.

February raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, but after a while, he started sweating again.

Gu Yuanyuan walked over and saw the master and servant being punished in the yard.

He raised the umbrella in his hand, opened it, and slowly walked towards Cheng Jiayao.

Suddenly, a cool shade fell over her head. Cheng Jiayao looked up and was surprised to see Gu Yuan, "Third Young Master."

"What are you..."

Gu Yuan said politely, "Sister-in-law manages all the big and small things in the mansion all day long. If she gets heatstroke, what will happen to the family?"

Cheng Jiayao heard this and said, "If the Marquis finds out, he will definitely punish you. You'd better leave now."

Gu Yuan was very confident. "I believe that the Marquis didn't want to punish you severely. You just accidentally stepped into his trap. He was already furious because of the prince's matter, but you pushed Aunt Lin out at this time. It's really not smart."

Cheng Jiayao was a little unconvinced when he said that she was not smart.

But now that I hear it, he is somewhat right.

She was indeed anxious and wanted to expose Lin Qianqian's true face. She didn't believe what she said about her changing.

Just like in her previous life, Lin Qianqian has been monopolizing her husband and enjoying his exclusive favor, which is really annoying.

"Mrs. Crown Prince."

Gu Yuan observed Cheng Jiayao's face and whispered in her ear, "Madam, I know you don't like that Aunt Lin. I think if we work together, we should be able to drive her away from the prince soon."

……

"Qianqian, you really don't believe me? I really didn't touch that little girl."

When Lin Qianqian came back just now, she was not angry with Gu Huai, but deliberately pretended to care about this matter. She was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to Gu Huai, so that the servants in the mansion could see it.

As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, she asked with concern, "My Lord, tell me about your experience in the brothel, including how you met Gu Yuan and the others."

Gu Huai reached out and grabbed Lin Qianqian's hand, and said happily, "I knew you wouldn't be angry about this."

"I think the anger has finally subsided now."

Lin Qianqian glared at him and said, "Humph, why don't you tell me something?"

Gu Huai sighed, "This is what happened."
