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

Song Wanyin flipped through the account book, counting all the expenses of the Marquis's Mansion, inside and outside, over the past three years.

"Every single transaction was recorded clearly in the account book. After careful calculation, it turned out that I spent nearly 30,000 taels of silver.

Since Gu Qingchen inherited the title, his annual salary has been approximately six hundred taels.

But he was stingy and used my dowry to make up for all the money he had.

Didn’t you keep saying that the Gu family has never done anything wrong to me?

You have never treated me harshly, so naturally you shouldn't use my money anymore.

Then return all the silver I lost."

When the lady heard this, her face turned pale with fright and she almost fell off her chair.

“Wan Yin, we are all one family, and harmony brings wealth.

Over the years, you have been working hard and devotedly as the head of the family.

I see all your hard work and it hurts my heart.

Why are you settling old scores with the Gu family out of nowhere?

Since you are already the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, why should you make such a clear distinction?

Could it be that you just can't tolerate Lan Yue and want to draw a clear line between you and the Gu family?"

Seeing that she was putting the cart before the horse and confusing right and wrong, Song Wanyin chuckled and said:

"Mother-in-law, it was your Gu family who treated me unkindly first. I just wanted to take back what belongs to me."

Gu Qingchen knew that thirty thousand taels of silver was not a small amount, so he bit his cheeks in anger and said preemptively:

“Song Wanyin, you are a family-oriented person, not to mention your dowry.

Everything you have now was given to you by the Gu family.

If I hadn't felt sorry for you and had no relatives, I would not have married you into my house.

I'm afraid that even if you become too old, no one will be willing to marry you.

Not only are you ungrateful, but you are also making trouble here unreasonably. You are really unreasonable."

Upon hearing this, the lady nodded in agreement, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what her son said.

This Song Wanyin is really too ignorant.

Seeing that the mother and son were of one mind, Song Wanyin said bluntly:

“Speaking of the past, if the Marquis’s Mansion had not been in decline and in urgent need of money, you would not have deceived me and asked me to fill this huge hole.

Right now, I have single-handedly brought the Marquisate back to life, and used my late father's military achievements to help you get a position as a general of the garrison army.

Not only are you not grateful to me, but you also keep a mistress outside, trying to squeeze out the last bit of my value.

If this gets out, how will your Gu family gain a foothold in the court?"

Gu Qingchen couldn't help but sneer:

"Song Wanyin, don't think you are so noble, your Taiwei Mansion has fallen into decline.

You are destined to rely on the Gu family for survival in this life.

If you leave the Gu family, you will be like a fish out of water and will not be able to survive.

What you are saying now is nothing more than angry words, fearing that you will lose the title of mistress of the house.

I have seen through your little tricks a long time ago."

Song Wanyin was intimidating without being angry. He glanced at Tiancheng beside him and nodded.

Tiancheng understood what he meant and took out a house deed, a land deed, and a list from his sleeve.

"Madam, this is half of my daughter's dowry. The Marquis spent it all on Miss Jiang."

After saying this, he presented the contracts to the lady and asked her to review them.

Song Wanyin's slender hands were tightly gripping the chair handles on both sides, and there was a sharp white light in the corners of her eyes.

These contracts were obtained thanks to Mr. Biao, who made inquiries and obtained the evidence.

In the past three years, there has been an extra sum of money spent every month.

After investigation, Gu Qingchen used his dowry money to buy Jiang Lanyue a small courtyard with a quiet environment, and also bought an acre of land for her, which was like a paradise on earth.

That small courtyard also became the place where the two of them had frequent secret meetings over the past three years, and later became where Jiang Lanyue nurtured her pregnancy.

It turns out that my life in my previous life was a huge joke, so I won’t be stupid enough to make wedding dresses for others in this life.

The lady read the contracts and lists carefully. Every expense was clearly written on them, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

He was indeed kept in the dark about Gu Qingchen's actions, but he was still eager to protect him.

“Wan Yin, I still remember when you two were in love.

They all want to stick together forever.

These silver coins were all paid by you willingly.

Ask yourself, is there any man in the world who doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?

This is a symbol of power and status if you truly love Chen Ge'er.

You probably don't want him to be talked about behind his back by others, right?

The past is gone with the wind.

If we really pursue this, it will hurt our feelings.”

Jiang Lanyue quickly grasped the point, looked at Gu Qingchen with a look of deep jealousy, and pouted her lips and said:

"Brother Qingchen, didn't you say that I was the only one you had feelings for in this life?

Why did you two stay together so affectionately in the first place? "

Gu Qingchen saw that she was angry, and immediately coaxed her softly:

"Lan Yue, the past is the past, and the present is the present, they cannot be confused.

You and the children are everything in my life."

Seeing that he was really good at coaxing women, Song Wanyin felt a pang of pain in her heart. It was all her fault that she was blind and threw her deep affection into waste.

"Gu Qingchen, there is irrefutable evidence here, how do you explain it?"

Gu Qingchen rushed forward in anger, his eyes wide open and he said:

"Song Wanyin, you actually sent someone to follow me and investigate me. You really have a vicious heart!"

Seeing his angry look, Tian Cheng was afraid that he would hurt his master, so he quickly stepped forward with open arms, protecting his master behind him, and said tremblingly:

"W-What are you going to do?"

Seeing that she was just a maid, Gu Qingchen dared to stop him, and angrily scolded:

"Get out of here! How dare you disobey me, you wicked slave!"

Tian Cheng mustered up her courage and said bravely:

"You are not allowed to bully my girl! Now that your own ugly deeds have been exposed, how can you still have the face to accuse and blame my girl?

If anyone should be blamed, it should be Miss Jiang who seduced someone else's husband.

After all, she is the legitimate daughter of an earl, and it is unexpected that she is secretly meeting a man outside.

How can this be something a lady from a noble family would have the nerve to do?

Now that my girl has discovered the truth, she still has the audacity to marry into the Marquis's mansion and become my girl's equal.

How is this kind of seductive skill different from the prostitutes in the red-light districts? "

Jiang Lanyue saw someone standing nearby, and the pot fell from the sky. She was unexpectedly humiliated by a little maid in front of everyone.

"What did you say?

How dare a mere maidservant ride on her master's head and act like a wild beast?

Is this the servant trained in the Taiwei Mansion?"

Gu Qingchen looked sharp, slapped Tiancheng hard and angrily said:

"Beat you to death, you ignorant bastard!"

Tiancheng was slapped hard in the face and staggered back a few steps. Half of his face soon became red and swollen, and he was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face.

"You, you guys are going too far!"

Seeing that she dared to argue, Gu Qingchen rushed forward and planned to slap her twice more.

"If you dare to say another word, I will cut off your tongue."

Song Wanyin endured the discomfort in her body, stood up suddenly, and slapped him hard in the face.

"You dare to touch her again?"
