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

Ji Nanzheng's eyes narrowed.

Gu Wanzhou, she really dares to say anything.

"This general does not need such a large sum of money for the time being." Ji Nanzheng's face turned cold, and his expression showed that he did not want to continue talking to Wan Zhou.

I thought I had a sure win, but I unexpectedly underestimated Gu Wanzhou.

Ji Nanzheng had a deep doubt. Gu Wanzhou's courage was even stronger than his as a general. How could she fit into such a small body?

What kind of messy things are packed inside her little body?

"General, you can actually sell it first, just in case you need it. Sell it when you really need it. Maybe I won't want to buy it anymore."

"Shut up." Ji Nanzheng's expression suddenly changed, his look suddenly turned cold, and his captivating eyes swept towards Wan Zhou.

If possible, he really wanted to knock open Wan Zhou's brain and see what kind of waste was inside.

Dare to think anything and say anything.

I really don’t know what she dare not do.

Wan Zhou was just thinking about it and was about to start bickering with Ji Nanzheng, but he was stopped by Ji Nanzheng at the very beginning.

Boring.

Rolling his eyes coldly, Wan Zhou said unhappily, "General, are you allowing the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps?"

Ji Nanzheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I will be the governor today. Come to my study for dinner tonight."

"W-what?" Wan Zhou stuttered in shock.

"Literally." Ji Nanzheng's expression was cold.

But I felt inexplicably happy in my heart.

Nan Zheng would fast for three days every month and eat only plain radishes for three days.

Others usually fast to commemorate a special day or because of some important event, but he fasts to cleanse his mind and brain and keep himself clear.

As for eating water radish, it was because when he was a child, whenever he made a mistake, the Duke would punish him by making him eat water radish. He made a lot of mistakes and ate a lot of radish, so radish became his most hated food, and for him, it was the most refreshing food.

Ji Nanzheng put himself in other people's shoes. He knew that only he knew the pain he felt when he found it difficult to swallow the radish, so he naturally thought that Wan Zhou would feel the same pain when eating the radish.

What he wanted was for Gu Wanzhou to suffer as much as he did. Thinking of this, Ji Nanzheng couldn't help but feel a long-lost feeling, similar to the secret joy he felt when he succeeded in a prank when he was a child.

Wan Zhou was very confused, but Ji Nanzheng looked like he wouldn't explain, so she had to give up.

"Is there any poison in your food?" Wan Zhou tested him uncertainly.

Meals?

Ji Nanzheng had those plump, perfect lips with a meaningful smile at the corners.

Why would she go there to eat something delicious?

"Don't worry, whatever I eat, you eat, and the poison won't kill you."

Wan Zhou: “…”

A bad premonition arises spontaneously.

After thinking for a while, she opened the curtain and said, "Qiuge, go to Juxianlou and order some of our favorite dishes."

Since dinner is dangerous, you must have a good meal at noon.

Juxianlou is the most famous restaurant in Shangjing. Coincidentally, the owner is Huayang. No matter what she wants to eat, she just needs to go over and say hello, and it will be delivered when it is ready.

Ji Nanzheng seemed to be busy with something. When the carriage arrived at the Duke's Mansion and Wan Zhou got off, he got in the carriage and left.

Wan Zhou went directly to Mrs. Wang's yard.

Didn't Mrs. Wang banish her to Tengyun Pavilion last night? She just gave the mistress a heads up and she moved out.

"Are you back?" Mrs. Wang sat on the recliner customized for her and enjoyed a massage.

"Yes. Mother-in-law, thank you for the return gift to the Gu family." Wan Zhou returned the favor and was prepared to be scolded by Mrs. Wang.

I think any woman with a normal brain in Beijing would know the etiquette of returning home. She went back by herself, and Mrs. Wang must have known that she did it on purpose.

Speaking of return gifts, Mrs. Wang was furious again: "How dare you mention it? What do you mean by not bringing anything back? Don't tell me you don't know about return gifts."

"Mother-in-law, I know. But you made me stand in the corner last night, which made you unhappy. I didn't dare to ask you for it, so..."

"It's all my fault. I'm just being mean." Wan Zhou didn't want to offend Mrs. Wang, so he was obedient and timid.

Mrs. Wang: "..."

She makes herself sound like a sensible and bullied young wife, and those who don't know would think that her mother-in-law bullied her.

Mrs. Wang didn't want to get angry anymore. She glanced at Wan Zhou unhappily and didn't intend to pursue the matter.

The main thing was that she was in a good mood. If Gu Wanzhou signed the divorce agreement, she would no longer be a mother-in-law, but a tolerant and loving wife of the Duke.

"Mother-in-law, where is the Tengyun Pavilion you mentioned last night? Could you send a servant to take us there? I'll ask the maid to clean it and move there." Wan Zhou went straight to the point.

"The Tengyun Pavilion is a bit run-down. You can go to the Yijin Pavilion. I have already asked someone to clean it up. I have also asked someone to arrange for the small kitchen. It will be ready tomorrow."

Changed place?

It's all the same to Wan Zhou.

She was a little surprised that Mrs. Wang would have people clean up the yard and take care of the small kitchen.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

"There is a separate small door in Yijin Pavilion, and the servants in your courtyard can go in and out through it. Mrs. Wang immediately emphasized: "That is for servants to go in and out, not for you to go in and out. You should take care of your feet and don't show your face casually."

Yijin Pavilion and Tengyun Pavilion are both guest houses, but Tengyun Pavilion is a courtyard for guests to stay in, and people still have to go in and out through the Duke's Mansion.

Yijin Pavilion is prepared for poor relatives. It has a separate door leading to the outside. It is located in the northwest corner and is farther from the main courtyard than Tengyun Pavilion.

People who will leave sooner or later should be treated as poor relatives. Gu Wanzhou opened a small kitchen with a separate door for going out, which made it more convenient for servants to buy things, and even for her to go out by herself.

This was equivalent to opening a back door for Gu Wanzhou. Mrs. Wang couldn't help but think that she was too kind to Gu Wanzhou.

Wan Zhou listened and was a little slow to react.

Does this mean that one can now leave the courtyard alone without passing through the Duke's Mansion?

What else, what does "not showing up" mean? Does it mean she can go out and not be confined?

That’s really the case. Did I understand it correctly?

Wan Zhou suppressed the excitement in his heart and said respectfully, "Thank you, mother-in-law. I will be careful with my words and actions."

"It doesn't matter if you don't watch your words and actions. If you get into trouble, I will ask the Gu family to get it back." Mrs. Wang threatened faintly.

Wan Zhou: “…”

The Duchess's wife is just amazing. She can speak in a threatening tone as calmly as eating or sleeping.

"No." Wan Zhou replied inwardly. "Then mother-in-law, I'll go and clean it up."

"Gu Wanzhou, I don't like you, but as long as you don't cause trouble, I won't treat you harshly for no reason."

Wan Zhou: “…”

Was it me who caused the trouble? It was obviously Wang Sijun who caused the trouble?

"Mother-in-law, I will definitely control myself." Wan Zhou was very timid and obedient.

As the mistress of the house, she likes people with good attitude and obedience the most, and she can live up to this character setting.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly."

Mrs. Wang seemed pleased by Wanzhou's attitude. For the first time, Wanzhou heard humanity in her tone.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Wan Zhou left Linhui Hall more obediently and timidly.

"Bai Lu, go and find out about the situation in Yijin Pavilion." Wan Zhou ordered Bai Lu as soon as he came out.

She couldn't wait to confirm the separate little door that Mrs. Wang had mentioned.

Being able to go out alone without passing through the Duke's Mansion was a precious freedom for her.

Miss Wang Sijun did a good thing for her after all.

After returning to Langyiyuan, the first thing Wanzhou did was to find a string of Dongzhu necklace.

Prepared to give it to Mrs. Wang.

Wan Zhou didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Mrs. Wang’s attitude towards her today was very different from before.

Although it is still cold, it is different from cold.

In the past, Mrs. Wang’s coldness contained disgust.

I don’t like the cold today, but I don’t hate it.

In short, as long as she is in the Duke's Mansion, she must try her best to maintain a good relationship with Mrs. Wang.

Even if I leave the Duke's Mansion in the future, having a good relationship with Mrs. Wang will be a hundred benefits with no harm.

Now that Mrs. Wang's attitude towards her seems different, she should strike while the iron is hot and send her some gifts to maintain the relationship.

As for why Mrs. Wang changed, Wan Zhou did not think too much about it. As long as the result was good, it would be fine.

Wan Zhou looked at the Dongzhu bracelet in the box. It was not the most precious, but green Dongzhu were rare, and this color was the favorite of ladies of Wang's age.

Gifts don’t have to be expensive, but they have to be right.

Just as they were about to take it to Linhui Hall, Qiu Ge came back, followed by several servants from the Duke's Mansion, who helped carry the food trays from Juxian Tower.

One drawer, two drawers, three drawers... Wan Zhou counted them and found that there were 6 drawers in total!

One tray with three layers, 6 baskets, 18 dishes!
