Chapter 16: Wives and Concubines Get Along Well

“Madam said she knows.” Gao Lan said fearfully.

“Then what?”

“Then there was nothing else.” Gao Lan knew this wasn’t the reaction Xu Weibei was expecting.

In fact, he was also shocked.

But Gu Wanning was squatting on the ground, delighted with the young shoots that had just emerged, she didn’t even raise her eyelids, she didn’t even look at him.

She didn’t take this matter to heart at all.

Dogs biting dogs, let them be.

Xu Weibei frowned, after a while, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, “Cold-hearted!”

A woman who doesn’t even care about her own brother has no heart.

“Marquis, maybe Madam feels that she is caught in the middle and can’t express her opinion.” Gao Lan couldn’t help but speak for Gu Wanning.

“What, did she give you something?”

“No, no, this subordinate absolutely didn’t.” Gao Lan quickly explained, he touched his nose, “This subordinate just feels, feels that Madam is also quite pitiful.”

Not to mention, which wife would go down to the fields herself in the middle of summer?

It’s unprecedented.

If you didn’t know, you would think she was being mistreated by the Marquis’s mansion.

“Marquis, this subordinate doesn’t want to offend you, but Chief Minister Gu, he is strict with himself, he emphasizes education and farming, this is still admirable.”

Madam rolled up her sleeves and went down to the fields, she looked like a seasoned hand, she wasn’t putting on a show.

People who work hard are always looked up to.

“She’s pitiful?” Xu Weibei sneered, “Then the people she tormented, are they easy?”

“When this subordinate went there, the four concubines were also there. This subordinate, this subordinate didn’t feel that they were unwilling.”

In fact, the garden had become vibrant, it made people feel happy.

Mainly, Madam also gave him a melon, Gao Lan felt that he couldn’t eat it for free.

“Seeking fame and reputation, she’s just like her father.” Xu Weibei disdained.

Thinking of his political differences with Chief Minister Gu, Gao Lan didn’t dare to speak anymore.

“Go tell her,” Xu Weibei was determined to provoke Gu Wanning, hoping that she would make a fuss and get a divorce sooner, “She is not allowed to have any contact with the Gu family in the future!”

“This…” Gao Lan felt that it was too much.

“Do as I say.” Xu Weibei’s eyes were sharp.

People who aren’t stubborn don’t succeed easily.

He was determined not to turn back.

He was going to ruin this marriage!

“Oh, yes…”

When he went there again, Gu Wanning was sitting under a tree with a cushion, the concubines were surrounding her, they were having a lively time, they didn’t know what they were playing.

Gu Wanning: We’re playing Werewolf.

Although everyone might have their own motives, it doesn’t affect them having fun together.

Women are actually very easy to get along with, as long as it doesn’t involve their core interests.

Their core interest was originally Xu Weibei, but it seems that at the moment, except for the second concubine who is interested, the others seem to be indifferent.

Then there is no fundamental contradiction.

Gu Wanning is both bad at and loves Werewolf.

She also discovered that teaching a student can starve the master, the four concubines were all playing very well.

Even the silly fourth concubine played better than her.

When they saw Gao Lan coming, the concubines all stopped at the same time, clearly nervous.

Only Gu Wanning, who had no desires or ambitions and was just lying flat, asked casually, “What’s wrong with him again?”

Xu Weibei’s childishness really refreshed her understanding of him.

Hit someone, just hit them, why are you so arrogant?

He hit Gu Anqi, and then he had someone come and tell her, what, he wants her to clap and cheer, otherwise he won’t be happy?

What a fool.

Gao Lan also felt that Xu Weibei was a little childish, so he stuttered when he spoke.

“He wants me to cut ties with the Gu family? He doesn’t want me to acknowledge my father, what, does he want to be my father?” Gu Wanning rolled her eyes.

The four concubines wanted to laugh, but they all held back.

When gods fight, don’t implicate the innocent.

Gao Lan’s face flushed red, he thought to himself, Marquis, you really know how to make things difficult for people.

Madam’s mouth, it’s not a mouth, it’s a knife that kills people and destroys their hearts.

He, a big man, it’s against the rules for him to enter the backyard.

From now on, whoever wants to deliver messages, let them, he won’t do it.

How could he respond to that?

“Go back and tell him, if he has the guts, go after my father and brother; if you really can’t stand me, then get a divorce, don’t tell me these useless things.” Gu Wanning dug her ears, “Go.”

The guilty have their punishment, the debtor has their creditor, why are you trying to show off in front of me?

Is there a sign on my forehead that says “Fool”?

“Yes.” Gao Lan returned in defeat.

Mainly, he couldn’t just repeat those words verbatim, otherwise, wouldn’t that be adding fuel to the fire?

He just told Xu Weibei that Gu Wanning was unwilling.

“Marquis, this subordinate is being nosy, but this matter, anyone would be unwilling to agree.”

When a woman marries, isn’t her family her support?

Cutting ties with her family, wouldn’t that leave her at the mercy of her husband’s family?

Xu Weibei said, “I want her to know that I am at odds with the Gu family, and let her take care of herself.”

“Madam doesn’t seem to be able to do anything…”

“Nosy.”

Gao Lan didn’t dare to speak anymore.

On the other side, Gu Wanning stretched and said, “Let’s call it a day.”

The fourth concubine was straightforward, “Madam, are you scared now?”

Gu Wanning reached out and flicked her smooth, full forehead, “You talk too much. I’m afraid that the Great Princess will come, and we’ll be so lazy and unkempt, it won’t look good.”

“The Great Princess is coming?” The fourth concubine was nervous.

She was very afraid of the imposing Great Princess.

“She should be coming.”

The person who was most nervous and concerned about her marriage to Xu Weibei was the Great Princess.

The Princess didn’t care about her, she cared about the Gu family.

She was a princess, but she was so affectionate towards her, wasn’t it just to show her favor to the Gu family?

As a result, this unfilial grandson of hers directly hit Gu Anqi.

This matter is not easy to resolve.

The Great Princess should come and pretend to scold Xu Weibei, and maybe she will give her some things to comfort her.

She had already opened her pocket and was ready to receive them.

“Madam, are we going to play tomorrow?” The fourth concubine was reluctant, she completely forgot the attitude she had when she complained to Xu Weibei and wanted to die with Gu Wanning.

What a child.

“Play.”

I just hope that the Great Princess will come and not cause any trouble.

Sure enough, as Gu Wanning expected, she had just gone back to change her clothes when the Great Princess arrived.

Xu Weibei led everyone in the mansion out to greet her.

The Great Princess scolded Xu Weibei severely.

Xu Weibei knelt on the ground, his back straight, his expressionless, where was there any remorse?

The Great Princess couldn’t save face, she said angrily, “If you don’t repent, I will ask your father to discipline you with family law!”

Xu Weibei’s eyes flickered briefly, but it was fleeting, so fast that Gu Wanning thought she had seen wrong.

Xu Weibei straightened his back.

“Someone, bring me the family law!” The Great Princess said furiously.

The four concubines all knelt down.

Gu Wanning, however, looked down at the jade pendant on her waist, she didn’t say anything.

Two eunuchs came in, carrying heavy red sandalwood boards.

Gu Wanning: That’s great!

The family rules are good.

Hit him.
