Ji Nanzheng also got up very early, even earlier than he usually did.

When he went to Mrs. Wang's yard, Mrs. Wang had just gotten up.

"Zheng'er, you came at the right time. Gu Wanzhou broke a taboo by making a fire to cook last night. I decided to let her move to Yi Teng Pavilion and reflect on her mistakes."

"It's my mother's arrangement."

Madam Wang continued, "Although the Gu family is now a third-rank family, their foundation is only that of a low-ranking family, and the mistress is from a poor family, so I don't think she has much education. I plan to hire a nanny to teach Gu Wanzhou a lesson, so that she won't cause any more trouble."

The wealthy families hired nannies to train their daughters-in-law, but they were just using the nannies to torture their daughters-in-law. Gu Wanzhou deserved it.

Ji Nanzheng didn't say he agreed, nor did he say he disagreed. He frowned slightly and handed the signed divorce agreement to Mrs. Wang.

"Mother, look at this."

Mrs. Wang didn't know what her son was thinking, so she took it and glanced at it casually. When she saw those words, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as if stimulated by something, and looked straight at Ji Nanzheng.

"Zheng'er, did you force Gu Wanzhou to sign?"

Gu Wanzhou went through so much trouble to marry her precious son, but she agreed to sign the divorce papers the next day after the wedding?

"She wanted to."

Suspicion flashed across Madam Wang's eyes. But she didn't think too much about it. Whether it was voluntary or forced, after signing the divorce agreement, Gu Wanzhou was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

In this way, when the right time comes and Gu Wanzhou leaves, Wang Sijun will marry in openly as his legal wife.

"Mother, please also warn Yun'er not to cause trouble for Gu Wanzhou."

Ji Nanzheng reminded: "Not giving food is not the manners of a young lady, and it is also a disgrace to the Duke's Mansion."

"My son hopes that we can live in peace in the future." Ji Nanzheng said again.

Taking out the divorce letter and giving it to Mrs. Wang at this time was to tell Mrs. Wang that he and Gu Wanzhou had nothing to do with each other anymore and she should not cause trouble for Gu Wanzhou anymore.

He didn't like Gu Wanzhou, but he was tired of the endless fighting.

Mrs. Wang understood that Ji Nanzheng's words were meant to warn her, and she felt unhappy.

"Yun'er was wrong in this matter. I will teach her a lesson."

"But, Zheng'er, Yun'er did all this for you?"

"Mother, I've already said that I only consider Yun'er as my sister, and I don't have any other feelings for her." Ji Nanzheng emphasized, "Besides, no matter who it's for, it can't be an excuse for her to make things difficult for others."

Mrs. Wang was very unhappy when she heard this. "That's because she is your sister now. When she becomes your wife, you will naturally develop feelings for her as a couple."

"Mother, I said that I want to make my own decision on marriage."

"As long as you marry Yun'er as your principal wife, I don't care who else you like or how many you like." Mrs. Wang did not give in at all.

Ji Nanzheng was helpless.

"Mother, even if I don't marry Yun'er, the Wang family is your mother's family and my in-laws' family. I will not ignore them and not do my best." Ji Nanzheng knew in his heart that the reason his mother insisted that he marry Wang Siyun was for the sake of the Wang family.

Now that the topic has been brought to light, Madam Wang simply does not hide it: "Do you know why big families marry each other? It is because marriage is a strong bond. Mother believes that you will not ignore the Wang family, but what about your next generation? The next generation after that?"

"If you and Yun'er have a legitimate son, you can marry into the Wang family in the future. After several generations of marriage, the relatives will form a huge network of relationships, and everyone will support each other. This will continue from generation to generation, and the prosperity of the two families will be guaranteed."

Mrs. Wang was earnest and heartbroken. As the eldest daughter of the Wang family and the mistress of the Ji family, she had a heavy responsibility.

Ji Nanzheng sighed helplessly.

Her mother was smart and strong, and she considered the family, but how could she not know that the more things were tied up, the more likely the eggs would be destroyed?

A blacksmith must rely on his own strength. The real long-lasting prosperity lies in the emergence of many talented people in the family.

"Madam, Butler Qin wants to see you." At this time, a maid came from outside to report.

After receiving the order, Butler Qin came in crouching, greeted Madam Wang and Ji Nanzheng one after another, and said anxiously: "Madam, General, the fourth young master's wife, she's gone."

"Gone? Where did you go?" Mrs. Wang asked with a frown.

"Back home."

Back home?

Mrs. Wang then remembered that Gu Wanzhou was going back home.

"She actually came back without saying hello?" Mrs. Wang said angrily.

"I wanted to ask the Fourth Young Master's wife to wait for a while and report to the Madam first, but the Fourth Young Master's wife said no, and left without bringing any return gifts."

"She's going back empty-handed?" Madam Wang was furious: "Gu Wanzhou deliberately brought shame to our Duke's Mansion."

"Mother, what does it mean to return home?" Ji Nanzheng asked.

Mrs. Wang was shocked. She was 26 years old, but she didn't know how to return the door. Forget it. Her son had been dealing with soldiers for many years, so it was normal for him not to know the customs.

"On the third day after a woman gets married, she will bring her new husband back to her parents' home to pay respects and meet the woman's elders..." explained Nanny Yu.

What Mrs. Wang was thinking about at this time was that Wanzhou was returning home alone without bringing any gifts.

She didn't believe that Wan Zhou didn't know the return visit etiquette, it must be intentional.

Madam Wang gritted her teeth and glared at Ji Nanzheng. This was all his fault. Who did he offend at the Duke's Mansion? These women from small families were really bad in every way.

Fortunately, there was already a divorce agreement. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt a little relieved.

"Go, prepare a return gift that is 30% more than the stipulated amount, and deliver it personally." Madam Wang instructed Butler Qin.

"Yes, madam, I'll do it right away." Butler Qin was in a hurry to go out.

Madam Wang looked at Ji Nanzheng again and said, "Zheng'er, you should go too."

Gu Wanzhou was wronged last night. What if she speaks without restraint and says that the Duke's Mansion didn't give her food and made her get wet in the rain, or even exaggerates and says something out of the blue, what will happen to her reputation as the Duke's wife?

I almost had a heart attack because of Gu Wanzhou's anger last night, and today she tricked me again.

Mrs. Wang was furious.

"What will be the consequences if I don't go?" Ji Nanzheng asked.

"If the new son-in-law doesn't go, the woman will be ridiculed and people will say that she is newlywed and not valued by her husband and his family." Nanny Yu explained to Ji Nanzheng again.

After hearing this, Ji Nanzheng's brows frowned slightly. What kind of person is Gu Wanzhou? He went back even though he knew he would be ridiculed.

"Zheng'er, go quickly." Mrs. Wang became anxious when she thought that Wan Zhou might ruin her reputation.
