"What a model! A businessman is a businessman! If it weren't for you, Brother Chen wouldn't bet!"

Listening to Chen's hysterical shouting, Li Shichen's face suddenly fell. He wanted to continue to quibble, but his mother betrayed him with just one sentence.

He subconsciously looked at the Duke, and sure enough, his face had darkened.

Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath and said unconvincingly: "Mother, do you think you have done a good job as a wife?"

Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and they really had no rules at all.

"You actually want to compete with me?" Mrs. Chen seemed to have heard a big joke: "I am born in a nobler family than you. I was taught by my husband since I was a child. I am a lady from a famous family. You are worthy to compete with me!"

As Chen's voice fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a group of official officials appeared at the door of Chen's yard.

Seeing this scene, a smile flashed across Gu Qingyuan's eyes. These officials came at the right time!

The Duke of Guo looked at the people who came and frowned subconsciously: "Who are you? Do you know where this place is! How dare you break in without permission!"

The leader of the official raised his hand towards the Duke and said: "I'm sorry, Lord, we can't do anything. Your Excellency received a report saying that your wife embezzled money from other merchants. Your Excellency specially asked Please come over here and take someone over."

After saying these words, the official looked around the yard and asked, "Who is the Duke's wife?"

When Ms. Chen heard this, she frowned and said, "What are you talking about? When did I embezzle money from merchants? You couldn't have come here to cause trouble on purpose, right?"

"We'll find out if you are looking for trouble when Madam goes to the Yamen." After saying this, the official waved his hand and said, "What are you waiting for? Take the person away."

As soon as the officer gave the order, the people behind immediately stepped forward and took Chen into custody.

Then, the leading officer saluted the Duke and said, "My lord, I'm sorry, we'll leave first."

Hearing this, the Duke of Guo frowned and said: "Wait a minute, this is the Duke's Mansion after all. If you just come in and take someone, you are not taking the Duke's Mansion seriously!"

When the official heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "My lord, no matter what you know, the law is more important. Now that such a big thing has happened, if the government does not come forward and wait for those merchants to make trouble, the scene will be terrible." It’s even uglier.”

These words are true at all. The Duke of Guo paused and took a step back: "Otherwise, you leave first, and I will personally send you to the government office."

The Duke didn't want the government to take people out, because he was worried that people outside would criticize the Duke's government after seeing it.

If they come forward to deliver it, they can do it without anyone noticing.

The people at this yamen gate are all fine people.

The purpose of their coming here is to arrest Chen. Since the Duke of the State has said so, how Chen went to the Yamen is not that important.

So, the man bowed his hands towards the Duke and said, "In that case, it's time to work."

After saying these words, the official left.

After the official left, the Duke's face immediately turned gloomy. Gu Qingyuan was still a little disappointed. She hoped that the officials could take Chen away immediately so that Chen could be humiliated.

But it's a pity that they eventually lost to the twists and turns in the officialdom.

Just when Gu Qingyuan was about to watch the show, the Duke of Guo spoke: "Yuan'er, please go back first. You have nothing to do here."

"Ah?" Gu Qingyuan frowned. She didn't want to leave just yet: "Dad, please... calm down. Don't let your anger ruin your body."

The Duke of Guo nodded: "I know, you can go back now, the rest should not be seen by the younger generation."

The conversation has come to this point, it would be rude to stay any longer.

So she bowed and turned around to leave.

After leaving Chen's courtyard, Suihan asked unwillingly: "Madam, are we going to leave like this?"

Gu Qingyuan glanced at Sui Han, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "What nonsense do you say, I don't want to leave just like that, but I can't stay here. If the Duke of Guo finds out, I will also It won't end well, so just stay here and tell me if you need anything."

Sui Han thought for a while and immediately nodded in agreement.

In this way, Gu Qingyuan left here, while Suihan, as the little tail, stayed here.

At the same time, in Chen's courtyard, after Gu Qingyuan left, the Duke of Guo stepped forward and slapped him in the face.

For so many years, he has never made a move against Mrs. Chen. Even if this woman uses insulting methods to force him to submit, the worst thing he can do is to leave this home.

But what he didn't expect was that after so many years, this woman would still be like this!

"Master, you...you actually hit me!"

"Is this the first time I've hit you? Didn't I do it just now?" Duke Guo looked at Chen and gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder Li Shichen entered the gambling house. You don't even know how to be a mother!" My mother is embezzling money from merchants, my son is spending money in gambling houses, and you two are making money while you spend money, so you really don’t miss anything!"

"Master, you...you are losing your conscience when you say that! For so many years, I have been working hard for the entire Duke's Mansion. You have been away all the time, but you have never done anything for the government!" Mrs. Chen accused, word by word. Everyone said that their Li Chang was miserable.

But the Duke of Guo did not take it seriously, because Chen's misery was caused by herself. If Chen had been honest and did nothing, then they would have respected each other as guests, but...

"Father! You... what you did is really too much!" Li Shichen was restrained and could not step forward to help Chen, so he could only shout: "You have ignored the Duke's mansion for so many years, why do you say that? It’s not my mother’s fault! Besides, my gambling has nothing to do with my mother, it’s my own incompetence!”

"Knowing that you are useless, you still let Mr. Chen slander your wife. You are really a good son to your father!" Mr. Guo said, and glanced at Li Shichen coldly: "Don't think that you are fine, I tell you , your gambling isn’t over yet!”

After saying these words, the Duke of Guo ordered his subordinates: "Go and send Mrs. Chen to the government office. Go out through the back door and get directly into the carriage. Don't let anyone see her."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she became anxious: "Master, you... you can't do this! I am your first wife, how can you send me to the government!"
