The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

The laughter inside the room ceased the moment Gu Huaizhou suddenly appeared.

He was thoroughly enjoying the cheerful atmosphere, but seeing everyone's smiles fade, he suddenly felt disappointed.

Madam Xu hurriedly said, "This old servant suddenly remembered that I still have something to take care of, so I will take my leave now."

"Oh, I haven't decocted my medicine yet. I'll go decoct it." Xiao Tao also made up an excuse and ran off.

Everyone ran away.

Gu Huaizhou felt somewhat depressed. Was he some kind of terrible plague? Why did everyone avoid him like the plague?

Song Wenjun didn't not want to run away, but she couldn't.

She could only hold her child, suppressing her disgust, and ask Gu Huaizhou, "Why has the Marquis come?"

Gu Huaizhou's gaze fell on the child, his face full of smiles.

He reached out to Song Wenjun to hold the child, and Song Wenjun had no choice but to reluctantly hand the child over to him.

"There have been some rumors circulating in the manor recently. Is Madam unaware of them?" Gu Huaizhou asked, feigning mystery.

Upon hearing this, Song Wenjun knew that Gu Huaizhou had come for Jiang Miaoyin.

She pretended not to understand and replied, "What rumor?"

"Did Father ask you to find a husband for your sister-in-law?"

Sure enough.

Song Wenjun sneered twice. Jiang Miaoyin went to make a scene for him, so Gu Huaizhou came to put pressure on him.

She picked up her teacup and took a small sip, her smile perfectly timed, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were filled with icy coldness.

“You know the decision Father made. He was worried that my sister-in-law would be lonely and helpless, so he wanted to find her a good marriage to avoid people saying that we were mistreating her. My sister-in-law has been waiting for three years, which is enough for her to do right by my elder brother. She is still young, why should she waste her time?”

Gu Huaizhou frowned deeply, his voice filled with anger: "Father is confused, are you confused too? My sister-in-law is deeply in love with my elder brother. If we marry her off like this, she will definitely refuse. What if something happens to her because of her fiery temper?"

I thought Song Wenjun would be intimidated, but to my surprise, she was completely different from her usual gentle self. She slammed the cup down on the table and said in a deep voice, "This is my father's decision. If you have time to get angry at me, you should go and persuade my father instead of showing off your power in front of me."

Gu Huaizhou was taken aback. Song Wenjun was truly remarkable; she actually dared to give him the cold shoulder.

Lost in thought, I was struck hard on the head.

Gu Jinyan tapped his head repeatedly with a small rattle drum.

Although he was still a child, the rattle drum was made of pure wood and had rivets nailed to the edges.

That kind of impact hurts a lot.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you hitting people?" Gu Huaizhou was in a bad mood and didn't give Gu Jinyan a friendly look either.

Song Wenjun quickly snatched the child from his arms, her face growing even colder: "I wonder who upset you, my lord, that you've come all this way to vent your anger on me with the child. Aren't you being a little too concerned about your sister-in-law's affairs?"

Gu Huaizhou panicked and raised his voice angrily, "Song Wenjun, what nonsense are you spouting? You know perfectly well that my sister-in-law is all alone and helpless. It was you who asked me to take good care of her. How can you slander us like this? Do you have any conscience?"

"Am I slandering you, or are you hiding something?" Song Wenjun slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "I saw my sister-in-law run out of your yard crying today. You explain to me what happened."

Gu Huaizhou was speechless. He never expected that Song Wenjun would catch him red-handed.

A flicker of panic crossed Gu Huaizhou's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "That's because my brother's third anniversary is approaching, and my sister-in-law wanted to go and pay her respects to him. She brought up some painful memories, which is why she cried."

"Song Wenjun, don't you know how I've treated you? Now you're suspicious all the time. Are you still the Song Wenjun I knew back then? You used to trust me completely and would never have such filthy thoughts."

She appeared to be jealous, but it also served as a wake-up call for Gu Huaizhou.

What's going on? He used to be so good at pretending.

But with so many worries lately, he lost his usual patience.

He almost gave himself away in front of Song Wenjun.

Gu Huaizhou quickly composed himself and was about to say a few kind words to Song Wenjun.

Unexpectedly, she put the child on the bed, grabbed a broom, and started hitting him on the head: "Have you forgotten everything you said when you proposed to me? You said you would treat me well for all eternity, or else you would be struck by lightning. I just gave birth to your son and this is how you treat me? Gu Huaizhou, I really misjudged you."

clap clap clap...

Taking the opportunity, Song Wenjun vented all her anger on the broom.

Gu Huaizhou was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands, looking utterly pathetic.

He dodged while shouting angrily, "How dare you! Are you insane? How dare you hit your husband? Believe it or not..."

"Go ahead and write a letter of divorce, let everyone see how ungrateful and heartless you, Gu Huaizhou, are."

Song Wenjun was sharp-tongued, and her broom left afterimages as she swung it.

They aimed specifically at Gu Huaizhou's face.

Gu Jinyan clapped his hands and laughed heartily, as if watching a grand performance.

Finally, Gu Huaizhou couldn't take the beating anymore. He snatched Song Wenjun's broom, threw it hard on the ground, and raised his hand to hit her.

Seeing this from outside the door, Xiao Tao flicked a bean from her fingertip and hit Gu Huaizhou's nerve.

His hand went numb and he lost his strength instantly. Song Wenjun seized the opportunity and slapped him across the face.

With a snap, Gu Huaizhou's face turned to one side.

His cheek stung with pain. He looked at Song Wenjun in disbelief, slowly touching his cheek, seemingly not expecting her to actually hit him.

Song Wenjun pointed to the door and shouted angrily, "Get out of here and don't come to my courtyard again."

Gu Huaizhou was brought back to his senses by the slap; if he had hit Song Wenjun, things would have been even more difficult to handle.

She is now deeply favored by the old Marquis. If she were to go to him and complain about him, the old man would be furious and might resort to family discipline, which he would not be able to handle.

Once that old man's poison takes effect, he will seize power in the Marquis's mansion, which will be the time when Song Wenjun is divorced.

Then he can openly keep Jiang Miaoyin in his room.

No one else dared to say anything.

Gu Huaizhou glared at Song Wenjun with venomous eyes, flicked his sleeve, and cursed, "Shrew."

Then, they left Qiufeng Courtyard.

Xiao Tao walked in from the door and said to Song Wenjun, "Madam, you didn't suffer any loss, did you?"

Song Wenjun shook her head: "Do I look like I'm at a disadvantage?"

Today's fight was really satisfying; it allowed her to vent all the anger that had been bottled up inside her for so long.

"Madam is truly brilliant. The Marquis originally wanted to use you to handle Jiang Miaoyin's matter, but you directly threw him out. I'm sure he won't have the nerve to order you around anymore."

Song Wenjun rolled up her sleeves and laughed out loud: "He's just asking for trouble."

On the bed, Gu Tianyan was still chuckling.

Song Wenjun picked him up and gave him a big kiss on his fair little face.

Good son, you're really awesome.
