Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore
Chapter 24 You Have to Pay Compensation
Gu Qingchen was so anxious just thinking about the Marquis's Mansion, but she still had the leisure and elegance to read and drink tea here.
He walked up to her without saying a word and swept the purple clay teapot out of her hand.
With a "bang", the purple clay teapot shattered and the boiling hot tea splashed everywhere.
Gu Qingchen frowned and said angrily:
"Song Wanyin, I will never bow down to you in my life.
Since you don’t want me to have an easy life, then you don’t want to have an easy life either.”
When Tiancheng and Nanny Wei saw him starting to fight, they rushed forward in horror, fearing that he would hurt their master.
"My Lord, what are you doing? You are not allowed to hurt my girl!"
"No, absolutely not. My daughter is still very fragile and can't stand your torture."
Song Wanyin raised her eyes to look at the two of them, nodded slightly and said:
"You guys go down first, I can handle it here."
Tiancheng and Nanny Wei were worried and retreated, looking back every few steps.
Song Wanyin's eyes were cold as she met Gu Qingchen's sharp gaze and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Gu Qingchen, do you know what you look like now?
You are like a stray dog, running here to bark at me. Don't you think you are ridiculous?
Also, this purple clay teapot that you broke.
But on my father's 50th birthday, the Minister of War, Mr. Yu, gave my father a birthday gift.
Do you have any opinions about adults? Do you need me to tell them for you? "
Gu Qingchen's face turned green with anger when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"What do you mean?"
Song Wanyin sneered:
"You broke my things, do you want to leave without paying for it?"
Gu Qingchen was so angry that his mouth was about to be twisted, but he suppressed his temper and did not dare to act rashly again, so as not to accidentally destroy some valuable things.
In his current dire condition, he simply cannot afford the compensation.
"Song Wanyin, why are you so cruel to the Gu family?
My mother's eye disease is getting worse and worse, but you just sit there and do nothing. How could a daughter-in-law end up like you?
And Lanyue accidentally ate coix seed and almost had a miscarriage. Did you send someone to deliver it to her?
Can't you tolerate her and the baby in her belly?
The whole palace was in chaos. The servants were committing crimes against their superiors, not doing their jobs properly, and just idling around all day.
This is all your fault. You are a jealous woman with ulterior motives and a narrow mind.
I haven't come to settle the score with you yet, but you're avoiding the main issue.
Don’t think you can stay out of this!”
Seeing that he really came here to quarrel on purpose, Song Wanyin said calmly:
"Gu Qingchen, I'm not so bored as to resort to such tricks, believe it or not.
It’s like there’s no way to wake up someone who’s pretending to be asleep.
Besides, Qingzhuyuan is not a place where you can come and go as you please.
If you don't compensate me for this purple clay teapot, you will never be able to leave this door today."
Gu Qingchen was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Having seen how powerful she was before, he was worried that she would really go and complain to Lord Yu.
After all, Lord Yu is his immediate superior and he cannot afford to offend him.
There was not a penny on his body that could be found. The only valuable thing was the jade pendant with a chi bear pattern hidden in his arms.
This was an unexpected gain when he went on a campaign, and he has always kept it as a treasure in Xingyun Pavilion.
The jade pendant with the pair of flying purple swallows has been returned to its original owner and given to Song Wanyin.
He originally planned to give this jade pendant with chixiong pattern to Jiang Lanyue as compensation to her.
Unexpectedly, there may be other changes today.
Seeing him subconsciously reaching into his arms, Song Wanyin roughly guessed something and tapped the chair handle with her slender fingertips.
"It just so happens that the Minister of War, Lord Yu, plans to invite dignitaries to his house in the near future, and has sent a brief invitation.
When I recover from my illness, I plan to visit my father's old acquaintances."
Gu Qingchen's face looked very ugly. With her resolute personality, she might stab him in the back.
He had worked hard to climb to this position over the years, and he regarded his career path as important as his life, so it was not something he would take lightly.
"Song Wanyin, you are so cruel!"
Even though he was unwilling and reluctant, he still took out the jade pendant with Chixiong pattern and gave it to Song Wanyin.
"You should know the value of this jade pendant, so let me compensate you.
If I find out that you are gossiping about me behind my back and destroying my reputation, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
He glared at Song Wanyin angrily, then ran out of the door with a feeling of resentment.
The frost and snow flying all over the sky were just like his cold heart at the moment.
It seems that Jiang Lanyue will not be able to complete the task. Misfortunes never come alone.
Song Wanyin carefully examined the jade pendant with a Chixiong pattern. It was snow-white with a hint of yellowish-brown stains.
The jade pendant is carved with patterns of dragons, flying tigers, bears, etc. It looks like a top-grade jade pendant.
"Where did Gu Qingchen find such a fine jade pendant?
It must be said that this jade pendant is priceless and is indeed a treasure."
As soon as Gu Qingchen walked to the front yard, he was stopped by a servant.
"My Lord, Madam Jiang from the Earl's Mansion wants to see you."
Gu Qingchen was shocked. Could it be that the news that Jiang Lanyue almost had a miscarriage had spread to the Earl's Mansion so quickly?
Without having time to think about it, he immediately went out to personally receive Madam Jiang.
"Aunt Jiang, these servants really don't know any etiquette.
I hope you won't mind my neglect."
Madam Jiang leaned forward anxiously, looking around the house and questioned:
"My Lord, my sister Yue left the mansion without permission and has not been seen for a few days. Did she come to you?"
Gu Qingchen seemed to be hesitant to speak. It seemed that there really was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. He lied in a white-hearted way:
"Aunt Jiang, my wedding to Lan Yue is imminent.
If there were some things that needed to be purchased, I would take Lan Yue with me and follow her arrangements.
Lan Yue may have left in a hurry and forgot to inform the two elders. I will definitely talk to her in a good way later."
Madam Jiang saw that he was avoiding her gaze and said half-doubtfully:
"My Lord, I am very optimistic about and trust you, considering that the Jiang family and the Gu family have been friends for generations.
Please don't let us down.
The matter of purchasing a wedding house should have been handled by your Gu family.
How could a daughter-in-law, who hasn't even married yet, run around and worry about everything with a big belly?
Could it be that your first wife just couldn't tolerate my sister Yue?"
Gu Qingchen knew that she was shrewd and would not easily believe what he said, so he said humbly:
"Aunt Jiang, I swear on my life that nothing will happen to Lan Yue and the baby in her belly.
The younger generation is not ashamed to say this. As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage.
I can’t live without Lanyue anytime now, sorry to embarrass you.”
Madam Jiang came here specifically to look for her daughter, and said unhappily:
"Are you just going to let me stand outside the door and talk?
Is this how the Marquis’s Mansion entertains guests?
Where is my sister Yue?
Today, I must see her in person."
