The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

My elder sister and the prince grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and she had never seen them quarrel so fiercely.

The two were right next to the rockery, and the closer they got, the clearer the sounds of their quarrel became.

Under the hazy moonlight, two figures could be vaguely seen across a small bridge.

Cao Li, the son of the Earl of Ning'an, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Jianyue's hand, suppressed his previous anger, and said in a tone that was as calm as possible, "Ayue, mother also said that she will not bring Yu Niang into the mansion. We will only bring the child back and raise him under your name. When the time comes, the child will recognize you as his mother and will take care of you when you are old."

"I also promise you that I will never let Yu Niang into the mansion. As long as Yu Niang is not allowed into the mansion, it will not affect the relationship between us. We will still be the same as before."

Compared to Gu Jianchu, Gu Jianyue's personality is more gentle, but on some things, Gu Jianyue still has his own stance.

She forcefully shook off Cao Li's hand. Her tone, having drunk a little, was far from kind. "Cao Li, ever since you secretly kept that woman as your mistress, seeing her every day, and having this child, our relationship has been broken. How can a broken relationship ever be restored to its original state?"

"Cao Li, have you ever thought about this? If you take that child back and put him under my name, that would give him the status of a legitimate son and allow him to inherit the Earl's Mansion. But have you ever thought about what we would do if we had children in the future? Would our child have to compete with a concubine's child for the family fortune?"

Gu Jianyue held her forehead angrily. The lady from a noble family, who had always been dignified and self-possessed, had actually forgotten that they were still in the palace and openly quarreled with Cao Li.

Cao Li couldn't help but raise his voice, "If you weren't busy with the housekeeping all day and you weren't seen outside, how could I have gone looking for a concubine?"

Gu Jianyue was immediately irritated and laughed, "Who am I busy managing the household all day for? If I hadn't helped you, you would have been bullied by your second son to the point of being left with nothing but bones. Don't think I don't know what you are planning. Your mistress is your mother's cousin. Now you are supporting her child to ascend to the throne. In the future, I, the Crown Prince's wife, will also be your cousin."

"Ayue, how could you think that? We never thought about this. We just wanted to give the child a name."

Cao Li then added, "Ayue, we've been married for so long. If it weren't for your health problems, we wouldn't even have a child. I wouldn't be planning to foster my mistress's child under your name. I wouldn't be supporting you by having that mistress' child be your son."

Cao Li flicked his sleeves and spoke even louder.

Gu Jianyue was so angry that she laughed, "I don't need it."

"Ayue, please don't be so willful. Can't you think about our future? Don't you want our previous relationship anymore? Just come home with me. You have been living in the Marquis' Mansion for too long. Mother will be unhappy, and the housekeeping power will slowly fall into the hands of your brother's sister-in-law." Cao Li stepped forward again with flexibility.

"You have done such a thing. Have you ever cared about the relationship between us? You don't care about your title or your future. Why should I care about you? On the contrary, I think it's a good idea to give the housekeeper power to your sister-in-law." Gu Jianyue said in a tone of giving up.

Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an originally wanted to step forward, but they stopped abruptly after hearing what the two were arguing about.

Gu Jianchu looked at Tinglan beside him suspiciously.

She always thought that her sister was living a good life in the Earl's Mansion because they were childhood sweethearts and got married.

Even though her sister stayed at home for a long time this time, out of respect for her sister, she did not use the melon-eating system to investigate the affairs of her sister and brother-in-law even though she had some doubts.

I never thought that my sister would suffer such a great injustice.

Tinglan lowered her head and sobbed softly, "Some time ago, Lady Ning'an took back the illegitimate child that the eldest daughter had been raising outside, claiming that the eldest daughter had not been pregnant. She also said that she wanted to raise him under the daughter's name. The daughter did not agree to this, so she made a scene and went back to her parents' home."

Gu Jianchu's fingers clenched into fists under his sleeves.

[What childhood sweethearts are all bullshit? It's a shame our whole family believes Cao Li has a good relationship with my sister.]

Since my sister married into the Earl's mansion, she's been bullied by her mother-in-law, who has to stand by her rules every day. In order to help Cao Li and her brother fight for the right to manage the household, my mother-in-law, who doesn't like my sister very much, has been making things difficult for her on a daily basis. That's why my sister has no time to go home.

My sister was worried that they would get worried if they knew about this, so she never mentioned it.

The more Gu Jianchu ate the melon, the angrier he became.

His puffy little face was as angry as a pufferfish.

This was only learned through the melon-eating system. If he had been at the scene at that time, Gu Jianchu really couldn't imagine how angry he would be.

Because her mother-in-law was giving her sister a hard time, she turned to her husband for help. Who could have known that her childhood sweetheart was actually a mama's boy? After her sister complained, not only did he not help her, he even seemed a little irritated. What was he irritated about? Shouldn't he, as a husband, be the primary responsible person for the problems between her sister and her mother-in-law?

Not only did the dog-like man not help his sister solve her problems, he also felt oppressed at home. Then, his friend secretly took him to a farm in the suburbs to drink and play pot-shooting, where he met the considerate Yu Niang. Under his friend's instigation, he took Yu Niang out of the farm and raised her outside. Not long after, Yu Niang gave birth to a child.

Cao Li would find an excuse to visit Yu Niang every three to five days, but her sister was so busy dealing with her mother-in-law's harassment that she didn't even notice.

So, is it possible that my sister's mother-in-law and this Cao Li were behind this?

[System: The host is clever for once. Lady Ning Anbo wants to take her niece as a concubine. Because of the Gu family's reputation and your status, she deliberately uses this method to have them give birth to a child first, and then allow them to enter the family.]

[Haha, if she is so good at scheming, why doesn't she help her niece to enter the palace as a concubine?]

[System: How could a woman in the harem have such insight?]

[Where does this dog get the audacity to be compared to a man? Ever since having Yu Niang, he rarely sleeps with his sister. How can his sister have a child? Did she steal one?]

[He's really a toad wearing a watermelon rind, pretending to be a frog prince.]

Xie Ci’an:…

I didn’t expect the queen’s scolding to be so refreshing and refined.

[This bastard and his long-haired, clueless old woman have plotted to this extent. I shouldn't have given this bastard a chance. I should have kicked him right out. There are no three-legged frogs, but two-legged men are everywhere.]
