Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene, and the ladies whispered and discussed it.

After all, the Gu family used to be a family of military generals. They looked very powerful on the outside, but secretly they actually relied on women's dowries to make a living.

Gu Qingzhi said anxiously:

"Song Wanyin, stop slandering me. Our Gu family has a solid foundation and we don't need you to support it."

Song Wanyin said indifferently:

“Oh? Your inheritance is not enough for you to squander. Since the old marquis passed away, the Gu family has left behind a mess.

That's why you want to marry me and use my dowry to fill the deficit in your family.

The clothes you are wearing now were bought for you at a high price by me.

Since you are so courageous, why not take off your clothes and return them to me in public?"

Gu Qingzhi subconsciously protected her chest with her arms and said angrily:

"Song Wanyin, don't go too far!

How can you give something back to someone else after giving it to them?

You are too petty.”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had said something rude. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her face began to burn with pain.

Seeing that she confessed, Song Wanyin chuckled and said:

"So you admit it?"

As she said this, she suddenly saw a familiar figure looking over here, and she couldn't help but come up with an idea.

Gu Qingzhi was so angry that her teeth itched and said:

"Song Wanyin, even if you bought my clothes, it has been a natural thing for the elder sister-in-law to make a few nice clothes for the younger sister-in-law since ancient times.

There's no need for you to tell this story everywhere.

To put it bluntly, you also rely on your mother's dowry to survive, so what is there to be proud of?"

Song Wanyin's eyes were cold and gleaming. She really had raised a bunch of ungrateful people in the past. She said word by word:

"Gu Qingzhi, you said that I relied on my mother's family to bully others.

You know, all these dowries were earned by my father at the cost of his life on the battlefield.

Every penny here is filled with fatherly love, and this is all he can give me to survive.

I married into the Gu family not to please you, to compromise and endure your bullying.

It is to help the Gu family to support themselves, to use my dowry to support your life, and to let you live a comfortable life.

But how did you treat me? No matter how much I did, you always thought it was what I should do. No one ever really cared about me.

You only come to me to ask for money when you are short of it. You are all ungrateful villains."

Seeing her slandering the Gu family in public, Gu Qingzhi refuted at the top of her lungs:

“What nonsense are you talking about?

Ever since you married my eldest brother, the Gu family has treated you very well. They even gave you the power to be the head of the family. What else are you not satisfied with?

You keep saying that the dowry money was all used to fill the deficit of the Gu family, but do you have the ability to produce evidence?"

Seeing that she didn't cry until she saw the coffin, Song Wanyin counted all the expenses in the past and could even recite them by heart:

“Let alone anything else, the gold and silver jewelry you demanded from me alone is worth ten thousand taels of gold.

This includes having to wear the finest silks and satins every year, and the most expensive rouge and powder.

There are even famous calligraphy and paintings that I have treasured for a long time, including "Lanting Preface", "Huangzhou Cold Food Postscript", "Jiang Fan Louge Tu" and so on.

Since I have no relationship with the Gu family anymore, I have the right to take back what belongs to me.

Right in front of the Princess and all the noble ladies, you must pay me back everything you owe me."

Gu Qingzhi's face felt burning and stinging, as if she had been stripped naked in public and severely humiliated.

"Song Wanyin, what do I owe you? I clearly earned these through my own ability.

The gold and silver jewelry had belonged to me a long time ago. Since the Gu family fell into decline, I pawned all that could be.

I also exchanged silk and satin clothes, rouge and powder for silver.

As for the famous paintings and calligraphy, I gave them away long ago. I won't be as shameless as you to ask for them back."

The noble ladies trembled with shock. They never expected that the Gu family was full of such people who looked down on Gu Qingzhi from the bottom of their hearts.

This is clearly just a pretense.

Zhao Luoshu sat there quietly listening, secretly surprised. She never thought the rumors were true. The Gu family really were gigolos. This was really too tasteless.

However, she did not say a word throughout the whole process, but just watched the two of them fighting each other. On the one hand, she could find out the truth, and on the other hand, she could find out Song Wanyin's ability.

She would not miss this opportunity to reap the benefits while the other party is fighting.

Suddenly, a shocked voice was heard, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"What? Those famous paintings and calligraphy are not yours at all. Did you ask for them from the county lady?"

Gu Qingzhi was shocked and looked back suddenly. She happened to meet Chu Hexuan's angry gaze and said tremblingly:

"Brother Hexuan, why are you here?

You heard it wrong just now. Those calligraphy and paintings by famous artists are mine.

It was Song Wanyin who slandered me. You must not believe her lies."

Chu Hexuan's chest was heaving violently. He had just finally gotten rid of her, but later he realized something was missing. He anxiously looked for her everywhere, but unexpectedly he learned a shocking secret.

“No wonder you always changed the subject when I asked you about your views and feelings about calligraphy and painting. It turns out you were just pretending to know something.

You have brought shame upon me. You took the county lady's things and now you want to use them as gifts.

My face and dignity have been trampled on the ground, you have caused me so much pain."

This sentence further confirmed that Gu Qingzhi asked for Song Wanyin's things and used them as a favor.

However, the noble ladies did not expect that the other party was actually the legitimate son of the Duke of England.

It seems that Gu Qingzhi really thinks she is something important and even has the delusion of clinging to the powerful and marrying a man with good character like Chu Hexuan.

In the hearts of all the noble ladies, Xiao Jingheng and Chu Hexuan are both their dream lovers and the best candidates for mates.

Once a woman likes them, she will regard them as rivals in love, and they will secretly compete with each other for beauty, and no one will be convinced by the other.

Song Wanyin calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten her throat. She had already seen Chu Hexuan lingering nearby, deliberately luring Gu Qingzhi into the trap.

Surprisingly, she hasn't made any progress in all these years.

Like to dig a hole and jump into it.

Zhao Luoshu looked at Chu Hexuan denouncing Gu Qingzhi with surprise, wanting to find out the truth, but did not say anything to stop him.

Before I could recover from the shock, the unexpected events came like a raging wave, one after another.

Gu Qingzhi was so embarrassed that she wanted to save her image. She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, begging humbly:

"Brother Hexuan, it's not like that. Let me explain..."

Chu Hexuan shook her hand away with disgust and interrupted impatiently:

"That's enough! I only believe what I heard."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand to her and asked for it.

"Take it out. I know you stole it."

Gu Qingzhi was startled, and subconsciously touched her arms, repeatedly backing away and shaking her head:

"Brother Hexuan, I don't know what you are talking about?

Please give me some face and stop being so aggressive."
