Under the scorching sun, even the interest was 30% lower than before. The chirping of insects was much weaker.

As a result, the Duke's Mansion was peaceful for several days, until Gu Huaizhi's sentence of asking the troops to investigate the crime completely broke the situation.

The man was dressed in black straight clothes and had handsome features. He walked to the octagonal pavilion and his eyes lingered on Ruan Zhen, who was shaking his fan and still feeling hot. He was wiping the fine sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

Then, he looked at the elegant and elegant Sheng Wan beside the woman.

The voice is as light as water.

"So, mother went to cause trouble behind my father's back again?"

After saying this, Sheng Wan's face darkened immediately.

"How did you talk?"

Gu Huaizhi looked calm: "Mom, there is no need to quibble. Even if Mrs. Kong helps you carry it, there is no airtight wall in the world. My cousin is here."

Sheng Wan showed no remorse at all. Hearing this, he snorted coldly: "She only knows how to complain, so even a slap from me would be considered light."

Sheng Wan raised his chin: "You are my son, why are you saying that you are not mine now? Just watch your skin!"

She was so angry that if she hadn't been worried about Ruan Zhen doing this again and fearing that she would be frightened, she would have smashed the tea set on the table: "I didn't beat her to death!"

"I just can't stand her bitch look. What's wrong? If your father wants to take care of it, so should you."

"You have to know that even if your father is here, I will still fight you."

Although Sheng Wan had a bad temper, he was not unreasonable. Ruan Zhen was slightly surprised. If she had not guessed wrong, the cousin Gu Huaizhi mentioned was Gu He's cousin. Her surname was Rou.

During the time when Ruan Zhen came to the house, I had never seen him, but I knew that he had such a relative.

Gu Huaizhi flicked his robe, his dark eyes were careless, and his expression did not change: "She has never offended mother."

"Yes, because of her parents, her husband died a few years ago and she only had a daughter by her side. She didn't have a son to live by, so she couldn't stand up in her husband's family. She should have been a poor person. I have nothing to say about your father's help, but I just can't see it.

I'm used to her weak and disgusting ways."

To put it bluntly, He Rou didn't give birth to a son, so what does that have to do with her?

Some people are as weak as Ruan Zhen, who is delicate at heart, but from the first sight of Sheng Wanda, when he saw He Rou, he thought she was just affectation.

He Rou knew that she didn't like it, but she still pretended to be aggrieved and careful, and moved closer to her.

——Sister-in-law, but what did I do wrong?

Shengwan: vomit.

Appearing in front of her is the biggest mistake.

It would have been fine if He Rou had made this gesture when she was twenty years younger, but her daughter was already talking about getting married.

Sheng Wan was not a man who would feel pity.

However, He Rou always looked pitiful but strong in front of Gu He and Gu Huaizhi.

——My husband is ill, and I wish I could just let him go, but Xuan'er has not left the court yet, so for her sake, I have to cheer up no matter what.

When Sheng Wan heard this, he couldn't help but say this.

——If you really want to die, we can't stop you. Everyone has his or her own destiny, so you should call me cousin at least. You can choose one of these arsenic or Bai Ling, and I will naturally send them to you for processing.

Xuan'er, don't worry about your funeral, the Duke's office will take care of it.

He Rou agreed if she could, but there were tears in her eyes, as if she was holding a knife to her and forcing her to die. In the end, there was a scene of fainting.

Fortunately, Gu He didn't lose his temper with her because of He Rou. When he gave the money, he made her aware of it and there was no other contact. Otherwise, Sheng Wan would have returned to her parents' home long ago carrying the burden.

Gu Huaizhi had always been acquainted with each other, so when he saw this, he just said: "If mother is really unhappy, just pretend she doesn't know her if she bumps into her on the road, why bother to fight?"

"My pleasure!"

Gu Huaizhi stopped talking.

Thinking of He Rou's mother and son in the living room, wiping away tears and sobbing silently, he rubbed his forehead with a headache.

It is true that Gu Huaizhi hates seeing others shed tears.

Ruan Zhen had no choice but to coax her, and Gu He was the one who coaxed her. But He Rou, Gu Huaizhi being able to calm down and not kick people out was already a sign of restraint.

Gu Huaizhi sat down next to Ruan Zhen and told Changfeng with a calm expression: "Let the housekeeper entertain you for a while, and give me some money when they leave."

"yes."

Ruan Zhen:......

She thought that Gu Huaizhi did not come to ask for help but was impatient after seeing He Rou.

There is no reason for the master to let the housekeeper entertain guests when he is in the house, but it is common in Dingguo Duke's house.

Sheng Wan muttered: "Whenever there is a new year or a festival, there is no time when I don't send people to give me money."

Ruan Zhen peeled the fresh lychees on ice without saying a word. The flesh was white, tender and juicy, with a hint of coldness.

Sheng Wan has always been generous, which shows that he really looks down on He Rou and his daughter.

Sheng Wan has a noble status, but he has never looked down upon Ruan Zhen because of her humble status or family background. How could such a person look down on her so much if He Roux wasn't lacking in virtue?

Ruan Zhen peeled it off and put the pulp on the small jade plate in front of Sheng Wan: "Mom, don't be upset. During the holidays, the Duke's government is generous and kind and treats relatives well. Today, you have the right to waste my cousin's medicine money."

"

After hearing Shu Xin's words, Sheng Wan's expression softened a lot.

She picked up the pulp with a small bamboo skewer on the side and nodded respectfully: "Yeah."

Gu Huaizhi was not in a hurry to leave, he kept turning the jade ring finger.

Soon, the strong wind blew back and forth.

Since she was being received by the housekeeper, He Rou knew that this was no different from expelling her. At most, it was just to save her face. It was a rare visit to the Duke's Mansion, so she naturally didn't want to just accept the money and leave.

She said: "I dare not forget that my cousin and sister-in-law have taken care of me all these years. My cousin-in-law has always been kind-hearted. Now that she is angry with me, it must be my fault. I want to go to my cousin-in-law in person to express my gratitude."

After Changfeng entered the pavilion, he saluted everyone and said: "Dong He left the house and wanted to take his daughter to see his wife."

He Roufu's family name is Dong.

As he spoke, he added respectfully: "He also said that since he is here, he wants to meet the Crown Princess."

This was nothing. Gu Huaizhi looked at Sheng Wan and waited for her reply.

This gesture was obviously decided by Sheng Wan.

"See you. Once you see her, you can tell her to go away."

Sheng Wan wants to see what kind of monster He Rou wants to be.

Changfeng: "Yes."

Seeing Changfeng walking away, Sheng Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Huaizhi.

"Has her daughter got married?"

Gu Huai never got involved in such trivial matters.

"I don't know."

"I remember that before your father went out, he wanted to choose a marriage for Dong Xuan. Although he is not from a powerful family, it has not disgraced the lintel of the Dong family."

The one Gu He chose was naturally good.

But He Rou refused.

Sheng Wan never understood how He Rou could refuse, but just a second ago a thought flashed across her eyes.

She turned to look at Ruan Zhen.
