Xie Xun wanted to defend himself, but Gu Zhiyi did not give him a chance and continued to bombard him: "Miss Chao is so arrogant. As a foreign guest, she dared to treat the servants in the mansion at will. And you, young master, blindly defended her and even slandered your own mother. Do you think you are very brave and your feelings are as deep as the sea?"

"Humph, you are nothing but a disgusting, laughable, extremely stupid fool!"

Xie Xun was so confused by the scolding that it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He couldn't refute Gu Zhiyi's words, so he could only turn his anger towards Chao Yunxuan: "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't get angry easily?"

His anger shifted its target instantly.

Seeing this, Chao Yunxuan became even more angry: "You blame me for a lowly woman?"

"She dared to seduce my man, why can't I teach her a lesson!?"

Xie Xun was exhausted: "She is a servant of the Ningguo Mansion. If she makes any mistakes, it will naturally be handled by my mother and Zhiyi. You are not the owner of the Ningguo Mansion, how can you punish the servants in the mansion at will?!"

Chao Yunxuan sneered: "You are just feeling sorry for her! You feel sorry for the woman who was beaten into a pig's head by me, and you feel sorry for your mother and the woman who was suppressed by me! You always care about everything, but not me!"

She pointed to the door angrily: "Get out! Get out right now, I don't want to see you again!"

The old lady was furious, with angry flames flashing in her eyes: "You should leave, this is the Ningguo Mansion, it is Xun'er's home!"

Chao Yunxuan was filled with anger and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll leave now! Once I step out of this door, don't even think about me taking another step!"

She didn't even glance at Xie Xun, and walked away angrily.

When she reached the door, her old illness seemed to relapse. She suddenly stopped and raised her hands involuntarily, as if she wanted to cover the pain in her chest.

However, in a flash, her hands dropped again, as if she remembered something, and she resolutely quickened her pace and left.

When Xie Xun saw this, his heart suddenly tightened. He remembered that she had just recovered from a serious illness and her body had not yet recovered. He threw all his worries out of his mind and hurriedly chased after her: "Yunxuan!"

"Xie Xun, stop right there!" The old lady tried to stop Xie Xun.

But Xie Xun seemed not to hear the voice. He did not stop for a moment and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!" The old lady was so angry that she wanted to send someone to bring Xie Xun back by force.

Gu Zhiyi stopped her in time: "Mother, this matter cannot be forced, otherwise it will only cause a greater backlash."

Although the old lady was furious, she did not vent her anger on Gu Zhiyi. She asked in a deep voice, "Are we just going to let that woman do whatever she wants?"

Gu Zhiyi shook her head gently: "Miss Chao seems to be extremely intelligent and talented. It is natural for someone with extraordinary talent to be a little stubborn. The young master and her are in love, and the more we interfere, the more likely it is that their feelings will become stronger."

For the Ningguo Mansion, the most critical issue at the moment is undoubtedly Xie Xun's imperial examination.

Even if Gu Zhiyi had not persuaded her, the old lady would have had no choice but to let Chao Yunxuan return after her anger subsided.

However, she did not want them to return home too early and cause her more trouble.

It is better for those lovers who regard love as above all else to calm down first, think carefully and then come back.

She didn't want to ruin their marriage, but Miss Chao's character did need to be tempered.

She sighed softly, "If the young master is always thinking about Miss Chao, it will be a big disruption to his studies. Therefore, we might as well give in temporarily and make a decision after the examination is over. What do you think?"

In any case, Xie Xun is bound to fail, and the old and new accounts will be settled together then.

In her previous life, Gu Zhiping had always obstructed Chao Yunxuan, causing chaos in the Ningguo Mansion. After Xie Xun failed the exam, he blamed Gu Zhiping.

This time, she wanted to see if there was no one behind his back, and whether he would still be tolerant and not blame Chao Yunxuan after he failed the exam?

"Yunxuan! Yunxuan!"

Xie Xun finally caught up with Chao Yunxuan.

Chao Yunxuan waved his hand away fiercely, her tone cold: "Aren't you very concerned about your maid, and also very caring towards your mother and your wife? Then why did you come after me?"

Xie Xun was worried about her physical condition, so he could only comfort her in a gentle tone: "My heartache for them is not sincere, but the Ningguo Mansion has its own house rules. Not only the Ningguo Mansion, but every mansion has its inviolable rules. Even ordinary people's homes will not tolerate someone beating up their own family members without permission, right?"

"Even if it is livestock raised at home, if outsiders touch it at will, it is a blatant provocation to the owner."

"Yunxuan, I have never thought of asking you to be my concubine, and you would never want to. To your mother, you are like an outsider. Once you break the rules of the mansion, they will naturally be furious."

"Just imagine, if someone hurt Tianbao and the others without your knowledge, wouldn't you be angry?"

Tianbao is Chao Yunxuan's younger brother who lives in the countryside.

Chao Yunxuan's anger gradually dissipated, and she admitted: "Okay, I admit that I was a little impulsive. So, I will compensate the maid for some medical expenses. However, if she dares to seduce my man again, I will take action again!"

Xie Xun was attracted by her unrestrained straightforwardness. Hearing her firm declaration, a sweet feeling welled up in his heart. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there won't be a next time."

He wanted to tell her that his mother Gu Zhiyi would not tolerate the same thing happening again, but he was afraid of angering Chao Yunxuan, so he could only swallow his words and said gently: "Come back with me."

Chao Yunxuan waved his hand away again: "Don't even think about it! Your mother has kicked me out of the house twice. Last time I endured it for your sake, but this time, I will never compromise again, lest she think that I really covet the false reputation and profit of the Ningguo Mansion."

Xie Xun tried to persuade her many times, but she always insisted on her own opinion.

In desperation, he had to send her back to the house he had bought for her.

Chao Yunxuan pushed Xie Xun onto the bed and said, "We haven't finished what we did this afternoon."

As the situation changed dramatically, a cunning light flashed in Chao Yunxuan's eyes.

That clever gold-digger could never have imagined that Xie Xun would stay out all night because of her.

And this is just the beginning.

In the days to come, she will live alone in her empty house until she builds the bookstore into a huge source of wealth.

By then, the old lady, Madam Xie, will definitely see her value and ability.

Between a financial expert who can make money from money and a short-sighted gold-digger in the harem, which one should you choose? Unless you are ignorant, no one will make the wrong choice.
