Butler Qian and the others were in the front yard, and Xu Miao followed his wife to the backyard.

The lady wanted to go to the mourning hall in the backyard to burn incense for Zhang Chengyi.

Upon learning that the wife of Duke Dingguo had come in person to pay her respects, Old Lady Zhang and Madam Zhang were waiting at the door of the mourning hall to greet her.

From a distance, Xu Miao saw the two Mrs. Zhangs. Mrs. Zhang had a pale face, sunken eyes, and was hunched over, supporting Mrs. Zhang's arm.

Mrs. Zhang looked as if she had just suffered a serious illness, with sunken cheeks and a haggard face.

It was as if his soul had been sucked out, his eyes were dull and lifeless.

Xu Miao sighed secretly in his heart: The person who is most miserable in this mansion is Madam Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang has only one son, Zhang Chengyi, and he is her greatest hope.

Now that her son is dead, her life must go on.

Putting aside the pain of losing her son, the concubines in the general's mansion are enough to make Madam Zhang suffer.

When she was in the general's mansion before, she heard Chun'er often tell her that there was a favored concubine in the general's mansion who would find fault with the lady for no reason.

If it weren't for Zhang Chengyi's support, the lady would have been sent back to her hometown in the countryside long ago.

When the two Madam Zhangs saw the wife of Duke Dingguo, they calmed themselves down and forced themselves to go forward and greet her.

Then he saw Xu Miao following behind the lady.

Madam Zhang was relatively normal, and was slightly taken aback when she saw Xu Miao. She hadn't expected that the wife of Duke Dingguo would bring Xu Miao with her to pay her respects.

But when Mrs. Zhang saw Xu Miao, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Xu Miao, I'm sorry for you. If I hadn't been blinded by love, I wouldn't have thought of divorcing you."

"If you had stayed in the General's Mansion, nothing would have happened to Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi would have been fine. We would have children and live together till old age."

Xu Miao frowned when he heard this, thinking to himself, "I shouldn't have felt sorry for you. Listen to what you said yourself. You're just trying to seduce me in front of these ladies and my wife."

Inside and outside the mourning tent were guests who came to pay their respects. Everyone was watching with their eyes wide open and their ears perked up.

Xu Miao quickly bowed to Madam Zhang, not looking away, and said to her with a serious face, "Please be careful with your words, Madam Zhang. Xu Miao no longer has any connection with General Zhang's Mansion. I ask for your condolences for the young general's matter."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were red. She tried to stop crying, and mumbled something in her mouth, and then she fell silent.

He probably knew he had said something wrong.

After hearing what Madam Zhang said, Lady Dingguo glared at her fiercely. With her big belly bulging, she pulled Xu Miao up and asked her to stand behind her.

Madam, this is a silent protest.

Just when everyone thought that this matter was over.

A harsh, shrill voice came from outside the door: "Xu Miao, you slave Yangzi, how dare you come to the general's mansion? You are just here to watch the joke. Get out!"

Following the screams, Zhang Ruyi appeared in front of everyone with a distorted and haggard face.

Zhang Ruyi has been living in hell recently. Ever since Zhang Chengyi returned home seriously injured, Mrs. Zhang did not dare to blame General Zhang and the old lady, and began to scold Zhang Ruyi countless times every day.

She was scolded for instigating Xu Mingzhu, for making trouble for Xu Miao when there was nothing wrong, and for ruining Zhang Chengyi's good marriage.

Even Zhang Chengyi's death was caused by her, Zhang Ruyi. She was the one who screamed the loudest back then.

In short, all the faults were caused by her, Zhang Ruyi.

Zhang Ruyi had been scolded for many days and was filled with anger, but had no place to vent.

I just went out to relieve myself, and when I came back I saw Xu Miao standing in front of the Duke's wife and bowing to her mother.

Because she was standing far away, Zhang Ruyi didn't hear what Xu Miao said.

However, Xu Miao's neither humble nor arrogant expression and actions hurt Zhang Ruyi's sensitive nerves.

Xu Miao just came to see the joke at the General's Mansion. Otherwise, why would she, a divorced woman, run to the General's Mansion at this time?

Zhang Ruyi shouted as he walked quickly towards Xu Miao and the others.

Xu Miao saw Zhang Ruyi with a pale face walking towards him like a madman, and hurriedly stood in front of the wife of Duke Dingguo.

She didn't dare let the wife of Duke Dingguo suffer any harm.

Zhang Ruyi walked quickly while shouting, "Get out of here! It's not your turn to witness the joke of our General's Mansion."

Xu Miao... Zhang Ruyi can't be a fool, he keeps saying jokes. Is there really a joke in the General's Mansion?

Zhang Ruyi arrived in front of Xu Miao and the others in a few steps before Old Madam Zhang could open her mouth to scold them.

Everyone saw the wife of Duke Dingguo walking out from behind Xu Miao.

With her big belly sticking out, she slapped Zhang Ruyi in the face.

Following the crisp sound of a slap, the mourning hall fell into complete silence.

Everyone was shocked by the Duke's wife's actions.

I didn’t expect that the wife of Duke Dingguo, who was gentle and kind in the past, is actually a ruthless character who is ruthless and doesn’t talk much.

Lady Dingguo took the handkerchief in her hand, wiped her hands vigorously, and glared at Zhang Ruyi with disdain: "What bad luck! You mad dog ran out of there. I'll beat you to death."

Turning around, he sternly scolded Madam Zhang, "What? Are you looking down on our Duke Dingguo Mansion?"

"We came here with good intentions to offer our condolences, and this is how you treat guests at the General's Mansion?"

How could Old Madam Zhang dare to offend the Duke's wife? She knew very well what position Zhou Chenli held in the Emperor's heart.

Besides, even the wife of Duke Dingguo in front of us is favored by the Queen Mother.

There is also the Lan family, the prime minister of the second dynasty. That is not a family that a general's family can afford to offend.

Besides, the wife of Duke Dingguo is pregnant. If anything happens to her, Zhou Chenli can take down the general's mansion.

He hurriedly apologized in a hoarse voice, "Madam, please don't blame me, please don't blame me. I will let this evil creature leave right away."

Zhang Ruyi was also stunned by the slap from his wife.

No one dared to hit her yet, or even slap her.

Moreover, this slap happened in front of so many noble ladies. How could she face people in the future?

Zhang Ruyi covered her face and burst into tears. While crying, she moved closer to the wife of Duke Dingguo, wanting to grab her.

Xu Miao....This Zhang Ruyi must be really crazy, he even wants to grab the lady!

Before Xu Miao could reach out and push Zhang Ruyi away, he saw General Zhang striding towards him.

When he got in front of Zhang Ruyi, he slapped her hard in the face again.

General Zhang was no delicate wife of a duke, and he knocked Zhang Ruyi to the ground with a slap.

General Zhang pointed at Zhang Ruyi, who was lying on the ground, with a gloomy face. He cursed, "You rebellious girl, I think you've gone mad. Come, take the young lady back to her own courtyard. No one can let her out without my permission."

Seeing General Zhang getting angry, several maids and servants hurried forward and pulled up Zhang Ruyi, whose face was covered in blood.

They dragged Zhang Ruyi out of the mourning hall in the backyard.

General Zhang happened to be leading several adults to the mourning hall in the backyard to burn incense. At the door, he saw Zhang Ruyi being slapped hard in the face by the wife of Duke Dingguo.

Then, Zhang Ruyi, like a madman, stretched out his hands to grab the wife of Duke Dingguo.

This scared General Zhang to death. If the wife of Duke Dingguo made any mistake in his mansion, the entire mansion would be doomed.

Just as the commotion was getting out of hand, Xu Miao turned around and saw Xu Mingzhu and Zhao standing at the backyard door in amazement.

Xu Miao...it's lively this time, how come everyone is together?
