He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

The sudden turn of events left everyone in the Li family feeling dizzy and disoriented.

To lose face in front of so many people, including not only old acquaintances from the capital, but also the mistress of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, whom he considered a rival.

They felt that once they returned to Beijing, they would never be able to hold their heads high again.

Unfortunately, they could vaguely hear people whispering outside the courtyard wall.

"What exactly happened to their family?"

"They got scolded, and it was *** who did it. *** said this family doesn't know their place! No wonder *** is so insightful."

"Tsk, that damned Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, what shameless bastards. In the first few years, the whole family started living off Madam An, showing off their snobbish behavior to the fullest."

"Today they're being sycophantic again, wanting the whole world to know that their son's mistress got a reward from the ***. And the result... is this?"

The courtyard walls in Ning County are low, and they are made of half mud walls and half fences, so that neighbors can see clearly what happens in each household.

Therefore, everyone present heard their discussion clearly.

It's over, it's over, it's completely over!

Today, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion has completely lost face!

Madam Zhang, the mistress of the Ningyuan Marquis's residence, tried her best to suppress her smile, her face wrinkled so much it was almost distorted.

Princess Ronghua, who had been holding back for a while, finally saw what she wanted to see. She smiled slightly and stretched.

"I'm not stupid, how could I be so blind as to fall for the mistress of a down-on-his-luck man? I was just using this as an excuse to give her a warning!"

"If you ask me, what's the point of just giving that shameless woman a piece of the mind? We shouldn't let that shameless man get away with it either!"

"It's best to interrogate them carefully before killing them; you never know what surprises you might find!"

After a sarcastic remark, Ronghua Junzi turned around and picked up his own daughter, Li Xiaohua, again.

"I say, old lady of the Li family, let's settle the matter of your wretched child beating and scolding my little flower when we get back to the capital."

"I will remember your disrespect for Mr. Gu. When we return to the capital, students from the Imperial Academy will seek justice from you!"

"This place is probably incompatible with me, so I won't stay any longer!"

After saying this, Princess Ronghua led her family away.

He laughed heartily throughout the journey.

"That ungrateful bastard, he thinks he can climb the social ladder and rise to prominence? I need to go back and tell my husband about this joke..."

Princess Ronghua's scornful remarks were a blatant slap in the face to the people of the Li family.

Madam Zhang, the mistress of the Ningyuan Marquis's residence, couldn't help but lower her eyes, her body arching back and forth, clearly unable to suppress her laughter.

The old lady almost couldn't catch her breath again.

When Wang looked at Luo Qingfan again, her resentment deepened.

After Princess Ronghua left, Gu Hongjin also bid farewell to An Wuyang.

The old lady's face hardened: "Wu Yang, you must find a way to keep Mr. Gu here, so that our family can apologize to him!"

The old lady's face was grim, and she gave An Wuyang orders in a cold and harsh tone.

An Wuyang let out a cold sneer: "I'm afraid that won't work. If you really want to apologize, you have to first improve your own character from top to bottom. Otherwise, even if you apologize to someone today, you might offend someone else tomorrow. In that case, it will all be in vain!"

"Shut up!"

The old lady uttered another rebuke, and suddenly all her anger found an outlet.

"I thought you were a sensible person, but you are so unfilial and unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

"Guards! Lock her in the ancestral hall to reflect on her actions. She is not to be released without my order!"

The old lady has lost face today, so she naturally wants to regain it.

Luo Qingfan is now the apple of Li Huai Ren's eye. Although the old lady is dissatisfied with her, she can't show her anger now.

So he vented all his anger on An Wuyang.

An Wuyang's face turned cold, and he said sharply, "I wonder on what grounds the old lady imprisoned me in your Li family's ancestral hall?"

In his past life, An Wuyang was often imprisoned in the ancestral hall and suffered many injustices, sometimes for days on end, without anyone to bring him water or food.

Every time, she was locked up until she was half-dead before she was released.

Therefore, when An Wuyang heard Guan Citang's remarks again, he trembled with anger.

"Madam, have you forgotten that this courtyard is mine now, and the property will also be mine? The Li family mansion is still the ancestral hall of that damned Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and it shouldn't be located in my An family's courtyard!"

"If you can't see your place, then please move out!"

An Wuyang had wanted to get rid of them for a long time, but she hadn't taken action yet because she didn't have enough manpower around her a few days ago, and she wanted to wait a few more days before returning to the palace, so she didn't want to cause any more trouble.

But these people kept going too far, so An Wuyang was no longer willing to give them even the last bit of face.
