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

Gu Huaizhou was extremely agitated and didn't know how to deal with Xue Qingwan.

He has already killed one person because of this incident. Does he intend to kill another one now?

Xue Qingwan caught the murderous intent in his eyes, and only then did she become afraid.

This is ancient times; stealing someone is a serious crime.

If not handled properly, you could be drowned in a pig cage.

Gu Huaizhou is a marquis, and the power of life and death over the people in his mansion is in his hands. It would be easy for him to kill me.

Jiang Miaoyin pulled Xue Qingwan into the house and warned her, "No matter what you see, if you don't want to die, forget about today's events, otherwise you won't live to see tomorrow."

Although her fierce appearance was frightening, Xue Qingwan's eyes lit up and she had an idea.

If she wants to survive here, she has to cling to a big tree.

She used to disdain depending on men, but times have changed.

Women have no voice in this world. She doesn't give up her pride; she simply goes with the flow.

Xue Qingwan looked at Gu Huaizhou with red eyes and said, "Cousin, I've treated you with all my heart, and you just let her bully me like this?"

It would be a lie for Gu Huaizhou to say he didn't like Xue Qingwan; her youth and passion fascinated him.

However, Xue Qingwan had not expressed her love for him before, and as a marquis, he naturally could not lower himself to please a woman.

Hearing Xue Qingwan express her love for him, Gu Huaizhou became somewhat excited.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaoyin slapped Xue Qingwan across the face in anger: "Shameless little whore, don't you even know your own worth? You dare to dream of seducing the Marquis."

She had wanted to teach Xue Qingwan a lesson for a long time, but she hadn't been able to find fault with her before because she was under house arrest.

Today, Xue Qingwan seduced Gu Huaizhou right in front of her, how could she possibly hold back?

Xue Qingwan was no pushover either; she was skilled in martial arts and was not one to suffer a loss.

After being slapped by Jiang Miaoyin, she grabbed her wrist and kicked Jiang Miaoyin hard in the chest, sending her flying.

She was a trained fighter; that kick was not something a delicate, sheltered woman like Jiang Miaoyin could withstand.

With a thud, she fell heavily to the ground.

I felt a burning pain in my chest and couldn't get up anymore.

Xue Qingwan wanted to step forward and make a move, but Gu Huaizhou hurriedly shouted, "Qingwan, stop!"

Xue Qingwan glanced at him, coldly lowered her hand, and glared at Jiang Miaoyin: "Put away your pitiful act. This trick might work on you to seduce men, but it won't work on me, you green tea bitch."

Jiang Miaoyin didn't understand what "green tea" meant, but she understood the last word.

Enraged, she pounced on Xue Qingwan's leg and bit down hard.

With a scream of agony, Xue Qingwan cried out in pain.

She wanted to shake Jiang Miaoyin off, but her legs hurt so much that she couldn't muster the strength.

In a moment of panic, she reached out and grabbed Jiang Miaoyin's hair.

The two women actually started fighting right in front of Gu Huaizhou.

Gu Huaizhou couldn't persuade anyone to stop him. If the two continued fighting like this, it would inevitably attract people from outside the courtyard.

He forced himself out of bed despite the pain and walked shakily toward the two men, saying, "Stop, both of you stop."

Finally, he touched Jiang Miaoyin's shoulder; Jiang Miaoyin was already bloodthirsty.

She felt someone taking a picture of her and immediately kicked backward.

Gu Huaizhou was kicked to the ground, and the wound on his back that was almost healed was reopened.

A heart-wrenching pain spread from his back, and Gu Huaizhou only managed one scream before fainting from the pain.

"Cousin!" Xue Qingwan screamed, shoving Jiang Miaoyin aside and rushing towards him.

Jiang Miaoyin was also dumbfounded. She couldn't care less about fighting with Xue Qingwan anymore and rushed to Gu Huaizhou.

The bloodstains on his back spread rapidly, quickly soaking through the gauze.

Jiang Miaoyin was so frightened that all she could do was cry. Xue Qingwan was a bit stronger than her and shouted, "What's the use of crying? Help your cousin to bed."

"okay."

Jiang Miaoyin wiped away her tears and helped Xue Qingwan support Gu Huaizhou.

The two women were not very strong, so it was a bit difficult for them to support a big man.

But they didn't dare call anyone in from outside. The two of them looked disheveled and embarrassed.

It took the two of them a lot of effort to help Gu Huaizhou to bed.

Xue Qingwan lifted Gu Huaizhou's clothes and saw that his entire back was soaked in blood.

The stench of blood and gas was so strong it almost made one nauseous.

She grimaced as she looked at the wound, then frowned and said to Jiang Miaoyin, "The wound has reopened. Call a doctor quickly, I can't handle this."

Jiang Miaoyin nodded somewhat bewildered, then quickly tidied her hair.

Only then did he run out to call for help.

"Someone, quickly fetch a doctor! The Marquis's wounds have reopened," Jiang Miaoyin ordered Laifu.

Laifu was Gu Huaizhou's servant, but he didn't dare to make decisions on his own after such a big incident.

After thinking for a moment, he sent another servant to fetch a doctor.

He, on the other hand, went to Qiufeng Courtyard to report to Song Wenjun.

If something were to happen to the Marquis, he wouldn't have to be the sole scapegoat.

Upon hearing this, Song Wenjun rushed to Tingfeng Courtyard without stopping.

Upon entering, I saw Jiang Miaoyin and Xue Qingwan, both of whom had injuries on their faces.

Meeting Song Wenjun's puzzled gaze, Jiang Miaoyin offered a forced explanation: "I didn't hold the medicine properly just now, and my cousin even tripped and fell because of me. I feel really bad about it."

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. This is what I should do."

The two of them were standing on the same trench so quickly, Song Wenjun smiled to herself.

It seems my cousin has found out about Gu Huaizhou and Jiang Miaoyin's affair.

But it doesn't matter, their fake friendship won't last long.

After all, the two of them were rivals in love.

Song Wenjun pretended not to notice anything and simply said "Oh".

She rushed to Gu Huaizhou's bedside and saw that he was covered in blood. She felt so happy that she wanted to burst out laughing.

Not everyone can enjoy the blessing of having multiple wives.

Gu Huaizhou, you'll get what's coming to you later.

Song Wenjun pretended to feel sorry for Gu Huaizhou and called out to him a few times. When she saw that Gu Huaizhou did not wake up, she ignored him.

She sat on the chair, holding a handkerchief and wiping away her tears, looking completely lost.

Secretly, Xue Qingwan rolled her eyes.

She calls herself the matriarch of the household, but that's all she's capable of.

If it were her, she would definitely manage the affairs of the Marquis's mansion perfectly.

The doctor arrived quickly with his medicine box. Upon entering, he was about to bow to Song Wenjun, but Song Wenjun hurriedly said, "Sir, there's no need for such formalities. Please go and see the Marquis."

"Thank you ma'am."

The doctor walked to the bedside and frowned as soon as he saw the wound: "Oh dear, how could you be so careless? How could the wound have opened up like this? Your Highness is going to suffer."

Gu Huaizhou woke up at this moment, and upon hearing the doctor's words, he wished he could faint again.

He has to suffer the same pain he suffered before.

"My lord, please bear with it." The first wife was quite kind; she even informed him in advance.

Gu Huaizhou silently bit the handkerchief in his mouth. Before he could even prepare himself, a burning, stinging pain shot through his back.

The blood flowing from the wound clung to his clothes again, and it felt like his skin was being peeled off.
