Chapter 142 Since so many people are jealous of you, why not let them be jealous forever?
Ji Nanzheng left.
Mrs. Wang felt pain, cold and embarrassed.
Ji Nanzheng was just slapping her in the face.
Did she choose the wife for the fifth brother?
What Ji Nanzheng didn't finish saying was to remind her: Look, this is the good wife you chose.
You look down on Gu Wanzhou's status, so what if it's noble?
She herself knew that she had made the wrong choice.
Shi Xuanting is the second daughter of the second wife of the Grand Tutor. She does not have a good reputation in the capital, but her social status is still good.
Among the six sons she gave birth to, Ji Nanzheng is the best, and the others each have their own characteristics. As for the fifth son, except for his good looks, he is really mediocre in other aspects.
At that time, I thought that as long as the two families were well matched, it didn't matter even if Shi Xuanting was mediocre, because the fifth brother was not the face of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion anyway.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xuanting is indeed mediocre in other aspects, but outstanding in selfishness.
She had long regretted it.
Fortunately, as a mother-in-law, she was able to calm down and Shi Xuanting didn't cause any disaster. Who would have thought that she would go and provoke Gu Wanzhou without knowing the consequences?
She could imagine Shi Xuanting's character, how she went to Gu Wanzhou's house, and how she caused trouble for him. She must have not received the money, and she was holding a grudge and wanted to harm Gu Wanzhou.
Angry and sad.
"Mother, Xuan Ting must have been confused for a moment, please forgive her." The fifth brother Ji Nanju bravely pleaded for Shi Xuan Ting.
Mrs. Wang sighed heavily.
"Go back and stay home for a month. Have someone send the bill for today's expenses over when it comes out." Mrs. Wang said weakly.
After all, she is the daughter-in-law who gave birth to a little prince for the Duke's Mansion. How else can she be punished? So be it.
And Ji Nanzheng had also given his final warning, so she shouldn’t be stupid enough to provoke Gu Wanzhou again.
"If you don't know the seriousness of the matter and provoke Gu Wanzhou again, it will be the Fourth Brother who will settle accounts with you. You should think about it yourself."
Shi Xuanting knew what trouble she had caused, but when she heard that she had to pay, all other emotions gave way. "Why should I pay? Fourth brother admitted that he wrote the notice..."
It's okay to confine her to her home, if not for one month, then two months is fine, but asking her to pay money is like asking her to cut off her own flesh.
Still a huge sum.
"Shut up." Seeing that his mother's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, Ji Nanju hurriedly stopped Shi Xuanting and dragged her away.
Shi Xuanting still refused to give in, so he simply covered her mouth and pulled her away.
Mrs. Wang looked at Shi Xuanting, who had no image or dignity at all, and kept shaking her head.
"Let's all go." Mrs. Wang really had no strength left.
Through this incident, she also realized clearly that her son must be with Gu Wanzhou.
If she didn't show her attitude, her son would really move out. For the sake of the Duke's Mansion, she had to get Gu Wanzhou back no matter what, even if she had to beg him.
I am tired physically and mentally.
Fortunately, the plan to trap Gu Wanzhou was discovered in advance. If Shi Xuanting had succeeded, Gu Wanzhou's reputation would have been damaged, and who knows what the fourth brother would have done.
Originally, she sent a letter and planned to go to Gu Wanzhou's house to make peace, but she went there to ruin the party in advance. Now, how could she have the face to go to his house?
The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law exchanged glances and came out together.
"Sister-in-law, it seems that the fourth brother wants to marry Wanzhou back?"
Sister-in-law Bai Xuzhu sneered, "I will definitely marry her back, it just depends on how I marry her."
The third sister-in-law became interested: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Bai Xuzhu said meaningfully: "You will know it someday."
……
"Miss, the general is here."
As soon as the dinner was set in the evening, Ji Nanzheng arrived on time.
"Let him in."
It's not surprising that Wan Zhou guessed that he might come.
"It seems that I came at the right time." Ji Nanzheng changed into light-colored clothes, his eyes were full of affection, and he was completely different from the cold and aloof person he had been in the Duke's Mansion before.
"What can I do for you, General?" Wan Zhou raised his eyes.
"Can we eat first? I'm so hungry." Ji Nanzheng sat down at the table, his tone soft, even with a hint of coquettishness.
Ji Nanzheng came uninvited, and Wan Zhou could have kicked him out with a cold face, but she didn't do that.
Let Qiu Ge add more dishes.
Ji Nanzheng was happy to see that Wan Zhou did not chase him away. He ate very well, restrained himself from talking, did not pick up food for Wan Zhou, and focused on eating.
After they finished eating and the table was cleared, Bai Lu took Qiu Ge out and closed the door.
"Wanzhou, have you heard about what happened in the Duke's Mansion today?" Ji Nanzheng looked at Wanzhou with a serious expression.
"I heard about it." Wan Zhou knew he was going to bring it up, so he said in a businesslike tone, "This meal is a thank you."
"You don't need to thank me. This is what I should do." Ji Nanzheng moved the stool closer to Wan Zhou, but still left a distance of one body length.
"Wan Zhou, although it may not sound good, I still want to tell you something. Before, I hadn't figured out my own heart and didn't know I liked you, so I didn't care about your affairs and was even a little indifferent."
"Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion, if I don't like someone, I won't put my heart into it."
"And now, I know. I like you, so I will treat you well with all my heart. What happened today is my attitude. As long as someone hurts you, even if it's my family, I will not tolerate it."
"Even if it's my mother." He added: "If it's her fault, I won't let you bear it."
"If it's your fault, I'll take the blame."
"Wanzhou, you believe me."
Ji Nanzheng looked at Wan Zhou, the deep affection in his eyes rolled like waves, and his voice was gentle but firm.
Wanzhou, believe me, these words seemed to echo, lingering in Wanzhou's mind.
believe him?
"Ji Nanzheng, it's not a question of belief or disbelief between us."
"I know." Ji Nanzheng immediately replied: "I know, you don't want to."
"But, Wanzhou, there is no absolute freedom in life. Even if you move out of the Duke's Mansion, have you discovered that your life is not as comfortable as you expected? There are still many troubles."
"If you don't bother me, I will have less trouble." Wan Zhou said bluntly.
In fact, I have this feeling in my heart. Apart from anything else, Shi Xuanting is narrow-minded. Once a grudge is made, it will never end.
How can you really stay out of trouble when you are in a busy city?
"Maybe. But without me, you will have more troubles." Ji Nanzheng said carefully: "Wanzhou, some things may be unfair or even hateful, but this is the reality. Most people will treat others differently based on their status."
"Wanzhou, there is more than one choice in life. Since you can't achieve the freedom you want no matter what, why don't you choose another path. Become my wife, Ji Nanzheng, the most honorable general's wife, and the future duke's wife. Our son will be the prince of the duke's mansion and the most honorable son of a noble family in Shangjing."
"Just like the time you returned home, even if they looked down on you and had a lot of complaints, they still had to greet you with a smile and show respect."
"Why can't you, Gu Wanzhou, live that kind of life? Since so many people are jealous of you, why not make them more jealous and keep jealous?"
He looked at Wan Zhou very seriously: "I have worked hard for half my life and have the honor I have today. My struggle is for the mission in my heart and for the glory of my family. I have a lot of family members, but you and the children mean something different to me. I want you to be respected and treated well like me, so that my struggle will be more meaningful.
Ji Nanzheng spoke emotionally, stretched out his hand to hold Wan Zhou's arm, and looked at her: "Do you understand, Wan Zhou?"
"Think about it, okay?"
