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

Wan Zhou walked into the room, and a group of people looked at her in unison. When they saw that she was really alone, their expressions were very interesting.

Wan Zhou looked at the flickering eyes of those people, and saw Jiang Yi looking at him with a sour smile on her face, and he knew that she had already lost face in advance.

"Wanzhou pays respects to mother."

"Aunt, aunt, and all the ladies, hello." Wan Zhou bowed politely with a faint smile.

Everyone responded perfunctorily while watching.

Wan Zhou was wearing apricot purple Yunshu brocade, a high-end brocade fabric. She had a gold hairpin with gemstones and kingfisher feathers on her head and a string of lustrous pearl necklace around her neck.

It is not surrounded by jewels and jade, but everything it has is priceless.

As for her, her eyes were bright and spotless, her lips were full and moist, and she had a faint smile on her face. There was not a single trace of sadness that indicated that she had been wronged in her husband's family.

Wan Zhou had never been out to socialize before, and most of the people here had never seen her in person. Her pure, beautiful and graceful image was undoubtedly very different from what they imagined.

Everyone was not very willing to admit that Gu Wanzhou's appearance was quite attractive.

What made everyone even more dissatisfied was that her newlywed husband did not accompany her when she returned home, and did not even give her the slightest gift. Not only did Gu Wanzhou dare to return alone, she also looked calm and composed, as if her world was still prosperous and splendid?

If she had come in with a dusty face, some people's jealous hearts would have been fed and their ridicule would have faded, but she was calm and indifferent like a winner. Why was she pretending?

The wife of the Minister of Rites curled her lips: You are quite good at pretending. Keep pretending. The better you pretend, the more ugly you will be when the fig leaf is torn off.

A person's eyes will always betray their owner. Wan Zhou had long foreseen her situation in everyone's eyes, so she remained calm in the face of all kinds of looks.

In this world, there are only a few people who truly wish others the best, and even fewer who can sincerely wish those who are better off than themselves. Even if they are kind-hearted, they will feel a little jealous when they see others living better than themselves, and if others are not doing well, they will feel a little gloating.

There were two groups of ladies at the scene. Some were extremely jealous and could not hide their joy when they learned that Wan Zhou was not well-received. Others were not so jealous in their hearts and were secretly happy in their hearts.

Except Wan Zhou's aunt Gu Min.

"Wan Zhou, did you really come back alone?" Gu Min asked unwillingly.

"Yes, aunt." Wan Zhou gave Gu Min a sincere smile. Among these people, aunt was the only one who really wished her the best.

"How could the Duke Dingguo's Mansion do this and let the bride return home alone?" Gu Min said indignantly with a look of resentment upon hearing this.

"Aunt, the general is too busy to leave."

When people from Duke Dingguo's Mansion come over later, they will just use this excuse to speak with one voice.

"Oh, isn't this just an excuse made by my cousin?" Jiang Yi was the first one who couldn't help but sneered.

"Yes, no matter how busy you are, you can always find time if you are willing."

"Even if you're really busy, it won't take much time if you just come over and sign in, right?"

"Wanzhou, we are all your elders. You don't have to act so arrogant. We elders won't laugh at you." Jiang's mother said pretentiously.

"Aunt, do you think I'm lying?" Wan Zhou looked at Jiang's mother. Jiang's mother felt very uncomfortable with her direct gaze.

"Girl, aunt, aunt also loves you."

"Aunt, I'm sorry. I just heard that you were doubting me." Wan Zhou showed no mercy.

Jiang's mother felt very uncomfortable when Wan Zhou pointed it out directly.

At this time, the wife of the Minister of Rites said tartly: "Ah, everyone knows that General Ji is a very busy man, Miss Gu, we believe your excuse."

Excuse?

This is equivalent to directly saying that Wan Zhou is lying, which is more direct than Jiang Mu.

Wan Zhou knew the relationship between the wife of the Minister of Rites and Wang Sijun, so it was not surprising that she ridiculed him so bluntly and without disguise.

Everyone also assumed that Wan Zhou was lying and smiled with their faces covered.

"Ladies, it's already sad for my elder sister to come back alone, why do you have to..." Gu Wanyu stood beside Wan Zhou, frowning, with a look on her face protecting her sister.

If someone else was "protected" by Gu Wanyu like this, he would definitely feel ashamed, but Wan Zhou would not.

"Second sister, I'm not sad. I'm the general's wife now. What should I be sad about?"

Wan Zhou reminded everyone that no matter what, she was married to Ji Nanzheng, and they could only be jealous.

As she wished, she made everyone jealous.

The wife of the Minister of Rites said in a shrill voice: "The general hasn't even come yet, so where did the general's wife come from?"

"Madam, I am the general's wife who was married to you by the emperor. Are you questioning the emperor?" Wan Zhou reminded coldly.

Madam Shangshu: “…”

Everyone knows that you, Gu Wanzhou, bought your status as the general's wife with money.

But since the emperor had brought it up, how could she dare to say anything in such a public place? She just continued to stir up trouble, "General Ji has something to do and can't leave. Can you at least send him a return gift?"

Wan Zhou frowned when he heard this.

The Shangshu's wife is really endless and annoying.

"What's the return gift? I got up early, packed up and left." Wan Zhou asked.

"Then there is nothing." The Shangshu's wife was delighted: "Miss Gu doesn't know the return ceremony? Who are you kidding? Which girl in the boudoir in the capital doesn't know the return ceremony? Miss Gu has to find a good excuse to make it up."

The Shangshu’s wife was very excited. This made her even more certain that Gu Wanzhou had angered the Duke’s Mansion.

That’s great, she will soon be promoted from Ji Nanzheng’s cousin to aunt.

Although it was just one word missing, the relationship with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had advanced more than one step. Previously, they were indirect relatives, but once Ji Nanzheng married Wang Sijun, they would be direct relatives.

How can it be the same?

"Wanzhou, look at what good things you have done. Since General Ji didn't come back with you and didn't give you any return gifts, why did you come back? This, this...ah..." Mother Jiang couldn't help shaking her head: "You are not embarrassed enough."

Wan Zhou glared at Jiang's mother with his clear eyes: "Aunt, if I lose face, I am also losing face for the Gu family, right?"

Jiang's mother was embarrassed by Wan Zhou's retort again and shut up.

Wan Zhou added, "Besides, just because I didn't bring back a gift doesn't mean the Duke's Mansion won't send one."

"You mean, the Duke's Mansion will send someone to deliver it?" The Shangshu's wife immediately sneered.

"Could it be that Madam thinks that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion doesn't even know the most basic etiquette and won't give the bride a return gift?"

When Wan Zhou said this, many people laughed out loud.

Is Gu Wanzhou stupid or naive?

If the Duke's Mansion wanted to send her back, why would they let her come back alone?

Jiang Yi saw that everyone was laughing at Wan Zhou just as she expected, and she felt a sense of satisfaction as if she had avenged herself.

The Shangshu's wife said directly: "Of course the Duke Ding's Mansion knows etiquette, but we are afraid that some people don't understand and will annoy the Duke's Mansion."

"Wanzhou, tell me the truth. Did you do something treasonous to anger the general?" Jiang asked Wanzhou resentfully.

The Shangshu's wife did not give Gu Wanzhou any face at all and ridiculed her to her face, which was no different from slapping her in the face.

Jiang was so angry that she died.

Treason? It seems that Jiang had already convicted her of the crime in advance.

"It seems so. I don't know what he said yesterday, but the general was very angry." Wan Zhou followed Jiang's words.

Haha, sure enough.

"Xiuzhu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." The Shangshu's wife said coldly, and stood up to say goodbye to Jiang.

The Gu family was disliked by the Dingguo Mansion, so they had no future in the capital. After all, they were just distant relatives, so the Shangshu's wife did not think it was necessary to show them any face.
