The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

It wouldn't be right for the two of them not to greet the Gu family if they ran into them face to face.

The Duchess of Dingguo was always arrogant and disdainful of Gu Shi.

Madam Gu was already angry, and the Duchess of Dingguo deliberately embarrassed her. She almost couldn't hold back, but fortunately Jiang Shurou secretly pulled her back.

Lady Dingguo continued to mock her, saying, "If I were someone else, I wouldn't have the face to stay here any longer. To be cut off by her own daughter, she's truly a failure in life."

Surrounded by two or three wives, a sycophant chimed in, "That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to stay in this world."

Jiang Shurou pressed down on Madam Gu's hand and said, "This is a family matter of the Marquis of Dongping, so there's no need for you ladies to worry about it."

Lady Dingguo said disdainfully, "I wondered who it was. It turns out to be the wife of our top scholar."

"We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now and won't be able to keep Lady Dingguo company any longer."

After Jiang Shurou finished speaking, she helped Gu Shi and prepared to leave.

"Wait, I haven't told you to leave yet!" The Duchess of Dingguo's voice was somewhat displeased.

Jiang Shurou stopped and looked at her, her voice somewhat cold, "Madam, although our Marquis's Mansion is not as prestigious as the Duke's Mansion, please don't forget that my grandmother is the current Emperor's aunt."

Then her gaze swept over the ladies beside her, none of whom dared to meet Jiang Shurou's eyes. Afterwards, Jiang Shurou left with Madam Gu.

The Duchess of Dingguo's face instantly turned extremely ugly. How dare a mere daughter of a marquis speak to her like that!

As Gu Shi walked, she grew angrier and angrier. On her way back, she saw Jiang Shuwan sitting in the pavilion, chatting and laughing. In a fit of anger, she rushed over to her.

Jiang Shurou couldn't stop her. Seeing Gu Shi's angry back, she stomped her foot in anger and followed after her.

Her mother, please don't cause any more trouble.

Feiyue and Feiyun noticed that Madam Gu was coming over and that she looked unwell, so they instinctively blocked Jiang Shuwan from view.

Just as Gu rushed over, she heard Jiang Shuwan affectionately call Pei "Mother".

Jiang Shuwan and Pei Shi were both surprised by Gu Shi's arrival, and she looked furious.

Seeing that Gu Shi's expression was off, Du Siyu, fearing that she might offend Jiang Shuwan, came out to try and get Gu Shi away. "Aunt, you..."

Without saying a word, Gu slapped Du Siyu across the face, leaving Du Siyu stunned.

Jiang Shuwan and Pei Shi were both startled.

Jiang Shurou saw this scene as soon as she arrived, and she quickly went forward to check on her, "Cousin Siyu, are you alright?"

After realizing what was happening, Du Siyu pushed Jiang Shurou away and said, "I don't need your pretense!"

Seeing this, Madam Gu protected her daughter, saying, "Du Siyu, how could you treat your cousin like that!"

Du Siyu questioned, "Aunt, what do you mean by slapping me without even asking what happened?!"

"Do I need a reason to hit someone if I want to?" Gu said matter-of-factly.

"Aunt, you've gone too far! My mother has never laid a hand on me in all my life, and you're saying you can hit me whenever you want!" Du Siyu cried after saying that.

Jiang Shuwan wanted to check on Du Siyu, but Pei Shi stopped her. She noticed that Gu Shi was in a bad mood and was afraid that Jiang Shuwan was in danger.

Jiang Shuwan said, "Pearl, hurry up and help your master downstairs."

"Yes."

Pearl wanted to help Du Siyu leave.

Du Siyu refused; she wanted to stay here to protect her cousin, fearing that her aunt might go crazy and harm her.

After Jiang Shuwan spoke, Gu Shi's gaze shifted to her.

Upon seeing this, Pei instinctively shielded Jiang Shuwan behind her.

Seeing Jiang Shuwan looking at him warily, Gu Shi was furious.

"I am your own mother, and you not only don't greet me with a smile, but you even look at me like that!"

Seeing this, Jiang Shurou reached out and grabbed Gu Shi, fearing that Gu Shi might really do something bad.

"Mother, let's go back."

"Let me go!"

Gu shoved the person away.

Jiang Shurou didn't expect Gu Shi to shake her off so forcefully. She almost fell because she lost her balance. Fortunately, Xia He, who was next to her, caught her in time. Even so, Jiang Shurou twisted her ankle.

The mother and daughter went out for a walk with only two people with them, and the nanny beside Madam Gu did not dare to approach her when she saw her like this.

Jiang Shuwan didn't want to provoke her further at this moment, so she remained silent.

Gu shouted angrily, "Why aren't you saying anything! Aren't you usually very talkative?!"

Madam Pei shielded Jiang Shuwan behind her, saying, "Lady of the Marquis of Dongping, please have some self-respect!"

Gu said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are to talk to me!"

Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but scold, "You've gone too far!"

"Who's going too far, me or you?! Jiang Shuwan, you're heartless..."

Feiyue appeared behind Gu Shi without her noticing. She struck Gu Shi hard on the neck with her palm, and Gu Shi suddenly fainted. Feiyue caught her.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shurou quickly instructed the nanny to help Gu Shi.

"I'm so sorry about today. My mother was traumatized and that's why she acted this way." After saying this, Jiang Shurou bowed to them and apologized before leaving with the unconscious Madam Gu.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Shi had acted so erratically just now, and no one knew what she might do next.

After Gu left, Jiang Shuwan and the others did not stay long and quickly left the pavilion, returning to their own courtyard.

However, the news still spread throughout the resort.

Jiang Shuwan found it very strange. Gu Shi's crazy behavior just now was really strange. She knew that Gu Shi had a bad temper, but she would never act like this again. She seemed a bit dazed just now.

Jiang Shuwan instructed, "Feiyue, go and investigate the Lady of Dongping Marquis."

"Yes."

Gu's behavior today is really strange.

**

Jiang Shurou escorted Madam Gu back to her room and then sent someone to fetch the imperial physician. It was only after her ankle swelled up that she belatedly realized it was in pain.

"Xiahe, go and find out immediately what's wrong with Madam? What does she usually do at the Marquis's residence?"

Jiang Shurou felt that her mother was acting very strangely today, and her intuition told her that this matter was not simple.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Princess immediately went to Jiang Shuwan's courtyard to visit her.

The Grand Princess breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Jiang Shuwan was alright.

"This Gu family member is too domineering! The Jiang family must not have a daughter-in-law like her!"

The Grand Princess usually turned a blind eye to Gu's actions, but today she had touched a nerve.

“Grandmother seems a bit delirious today, as if she has been drugged.”

Jiang Shuwan told the Grand Princess what was on her mind.

The Grand Princess asked suspiciously, "Drugs?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded. "She's acting very strangely today."

The Grand Princess reacted quickly; she soon thought of someone.

Jiang Shuwan had the same idea as her.

"I have already sent people to investigate, and I believe we will have results soon."

"No matter what, the Gu family must be punished this time!"

The Grand Princess has made her decision, and no one can stop her.
