Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce

A quarter of an hour later...

Mrs. Wang’s Linhui Hall.

Wan Zhou and Wang Sijun stood together in the cold wind in the yard.

"Who of you two will speak first?" Mrs. Wang was wrapped in a blanket and sitting on a chair brought out by the servants. She was very angry.

One is her beloved niece, who not only deceives her superiors and subordinates, but also does things that damage her reputation. It is really hateful.

One of them was even more daring and made a fire in the yard to cook.

Do you think that she, the Duke's wife, is dead?

"Aunt, calm down." Mu Wan'er considerately handed Mrs. Wang a glass of water.

"Aunt, Gu Wanzhou extorted more than 1000 taels of silver from me this afternoon. I was just venting my anger." Wang Sijun knew that she was in the wrong, but she spoke as if she was right.

Before Madam Wang could speak, Wan Zhou said, "Cousin Yun, if you are so unreasonable, then you should also pay for the things I didn't include in the bill."

Wang Sijun was a person who got angry easily. After hearing Wan Zhou's words, he immediately jumped up and said, "Are you crazy because of poverty? If you really don't have money, just tell me. I'm not a stingy person. Giving you a few taels is like helping the poor."

"I know that sister Yun has money, but I advise you not to spend it recklessly. With your straightforward personality, you should save it as compensation for next time."

"Gu Wanzhou, what do you mean?" Wang Sijun was getting angry again.

"Shut up." Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted coldly.

"What about you?" Madam Wang looked at Wan Zhou coldly: "The palace has a clear ban on privately lighting fires. You don't know that, do you?"

Wan Zhou stood straight: "I have nothing to say. You can punish me however you want. I can't resist anyway. How can I have a say when even my cousin can order the servants to not give me food at will?"

Wan Zhou was just about to say it out loud that the Duke's Mansion was bullying people.

Wan Zhou's sarcasm almost gave Mrs. Wang a heart attack.

"You made a fire and cooked without food. Do you know what the consequences will be if you are not careful?" Mrs. Wang became more and more angry as she spoke, her chest heaving.

"You've seen it before. My stove doesn't pose any safety risks. Sparks won't fly out. I just want to cook a meal."

"So what if there's no safety hazard? If a thief doesn't steal anything, does that mean he's not a thief?" Mrs. Wang immediately retorted.

"Mother-in-law, my cousin made me starve. Although I didn't starve to death, does that still mean I'm a murderer?" Wan Zhou retorted without even thinking.

"you!"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost needed a quick-acting heart pill.

Wang Sijun: “…”

Mu Wan'er: "..."

Servant: "..."

Everyone was shocked.

Wan Zhou actually dared to confront Mrs. Wang.

Wan Zhou saw that their reaction was too extreme, so he softened his voice: "Mother-in-law, don't be angry, I was just making an analogy."

"Maybe I was not thoughtful enough to light the fire, but what can I do? The kitchen won't give me food. I wanted to ask the maid to go out and pack some, but the doorman wouldn't let me go out. If this continues, will I starve to death?"

"I cook just because I think that only when I am full can I have the energy to endure hunger. I live one day at a time."

Wan Zhou said the accusatory words, but his expression was as if it had nothing to do with him. That look gave people a feeling of helplessness, as if he had given up struggling.

"When will my mansion starve you to death?" Mrs. Wang was really furious.

What did Gu Wanzhou say? She had been exempted from the most basic standing rules because of her son's misbehavior last night. She had clearly done nothing, but who was Gu Wanzhou trying to show by acting like she was being abused by the Duke's Mansion?

Wan Zhou didn't care, she continued: "Not now, who knows what will happen in the future. Cousin Yun blamed me for stealing the general and held a grudge against me. She smashed my room in the morning and refused to give me food in the afternoon. Who knows what she will do in the future?"

"After all these things happened, I just want to live one day at a time."

"You..." Mrs. Wang was really angry this time and almost couldn't breathe.

She had lived to her 40s and had never heard such nonsense before.

Wang Sijun was so anxious that she was jumping up and down, but Mrs. Wang was angry, so she didn't dare to say anything and felt very uncomfortable.

Mu Wan'er quickly helped Madam Wang calm down and asked the maid to bring her some water.

It took Mrs. Wang a long time to catch her breath.

She looked Wan Zhou up and down with a deep gaze, thought for a moment, and then stared at Wan Zhou with full oppression.

"Tell me what you want."

Mrs. Wang was the mistress of the house. After she had been furious, she came to realize that everyone has a purpose behind doing something.

It's impossible that Gu Wanzhou made such a big fuss just to avoid going hungry as she said.

She must have a purpose.

After all, today's incident was caused by Wang Sijun, and it is very unfavorable to Wang Sijun.

She can discipline the servants in the mansion, but if Gu Wanzhou is angered, she will go out and say whatever she wants without any care, which will not be good for either Wang Sijun or her.

"Yun'er, what you did was wrong. If you have any thoughts, please tell me. I won't be partial."

"Then please don't punish cousin Yun. If you punish her today, she will definitely take it back from me tomorrow."

After this artistic remark came out, Wang Sijun could no longer hold back: "Gu Wanzhou, what do you mean?"

"Literally." Wan Zhou said lightly.

Madam Wang didn't believe it. She glanced at Wan Zhou and asked for confirmation, "Is it really just like that?"

"If you insist, there is one thing. Since cousin Yun hates me so much, I don't want to offend her. Why don't mother-in-law allow me to open a small kitchen in the yard? I can live behind closed doors and we won't see each other, so there will be no conflict."

Wan Zhou added, "It's not a big deal if I suffer a little injustice, but if Cousin Yun gets carried away and does something inappropriate, it will damage her reputation, which is a big deal. What do you think?"

"Gu Wanzhou, you..."

Who is hot-headed?

"Shut up." Wang Sijun was stopped by Mrs. Wang before he could finish his words.

She looked at Wan Zhou again with deep eyes.

Gu Wanzhou said that he was doing this for Wang Sijun's own good, but in fact, every word he said pointed out that Wang Sijun was not smart and did things without any rules. If he continued like this, his reputation would be in jeopardy.

She had learned something today. Although Gu Wanzhou looked completely defenseless, every word he said was sharp as a needle and he was an expert at making unreasonable demands.

Mrs. Wang originally thought that after finding out about Gu Wanzhou's background, she would take the opportunity to use her mother-in-law's money to severely punish Gu Wanzhou. However, she now found that not only could she not impose a severe punishment on him, she also had to agree to Gu Wanzhou's request.

If she didn't agree, given Wang Sijun's character, if Gu Wanzhou provokes her with bad intentions, her silly niece might not know what to do.

What Gu Wanzhou said was so true. It didn’t matter if she, Gu Wanzhou, suffered a little injustice, but Wang Sijun’s reputation could not be damaged.

Wan Zhou faced Mrs. Wang's scrutiny. After all, she was the Duke's wife, so her eyes were quite intimidating.

After a while, Madam Wang said in a deep voice: "Since you want to live behind closed doors, you should not stay in Langyi Courtyard anymore. Go to Tengyun Pavilion and reflect on your mistakes."

Tengyun Pavilion is the guest house, located in the southwest of the mansion. The courtyard is not shabby, but it is quite remote. It takes a man a quarter of an hour to get from Tengyun Pavilion to Linhui Hall [15 minutes], and a woman needs more than two cups of tea [20 minutes].

Sending Gu Wanzhou to a distant place will make her out of sight and out of mind, and also let her see her own position clearly. In the Duke's Mansion, her identity is just like her residence, just a corner.

Wanzhou still didn't know what the so-called Tengyun Pavilion was, but Mrs. Wang allowed her to open a small kitchen, which made her very happy.

In her previous life, someone had secretly plotted against her over food, and Mu Wan'er had sent her contraceptive cakes during the day, so she was really worried about the food in the Duke's Mansion.

Moreover, to reflect on one's mistakes behind closed doors? This meant that she didn't have to come to pay her respects to Madam Wang every day. This was really an extra surprise.

Wan Zhou was just feeling happy when she heard Mrs. Wang say, "But you still have to be punished for making a fire without permission..."
