The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Back at her parents' home, Gu Deyin had a good night's sleep and finally had no more nightmares.

However, as soon as she finished her breakfast, the maid came in and reported that Liu Ruohe was here.

She frowned and threw down the spoon in displeasure, "It's disappointing."

Hua Chao said hurriedly, "How about I send the eldest grandma away?"

Gu Deyin didn't want to see Liu Ruohe, so he nodded and agreed to Hua Chao's suggestion.

However, within a quarter of an hour after the flowers had gone away, they turned back again.

"My slaves said you were out. Grandma said she could wait for you to come back, but she refused to leave no matter what. She also asked your slaves to tell you that she has something important to say to you."

She said angrily, then sarcastically.

"My slave feels that Grandma is like a piece of dog-skin plaster. Once it's stuck on, it can't be peeled off."

Gu Deyin was eating snacks after the meal. While eating, she thought carefully. Did Liu Ruohe have anything important to say to her?

No matter how hard I try, I can't figure out why.

"Second Grandma, what should we do?"

Seeing that Hua Chao was anxious, she patted Hua Chao on the head, "Why are you so anxious?"

Liu Ruohe said she could wait, so just wait.

She's not in a hurry, so why are they in a hurry?

Hua Chao instantly understood the meaning of Gu Deyin's words, which was to leave Liu Ruohe alone.

Seeing her master's calm look, she also calmed down and did whatever she had to do. Anyway, Liu Ruohe wouldn't be able to get here if her master didn't ask to see Liu Ruohe.

This is the Gu family, not the Xu family.

Housekeeper Gu saw that his girl was not paying attention to this sister-in-law, so he did not treat her warmly and even did not serve her tea.

Liu Ruohe was so angry that he was treated so slowly.

But now that she was seeking help from Gu Deyin, she couldn't have an attack and could only endure it.

Rather than caring about Liu Ruohe's purpose, Gu Deyin was more concerned about the lawsuit arranged for Xu Xiaoli and Xu yesterday.

Shopkeeper Li did not come forward, but he was the mastermind behind the scenes. A large number of merchants jointly declared that Ninghou Mansion would not pay back the debt.

As soon as the lawsuit came out, a large number of busybodies gathered around the yamen gate to watch the excitement.

Then the whispers continued, and the Xu family was now famous in Beijing.

First, there was the theft case of the Xu family's daughter-in-law. The Xu family's daughter was still in jail waiting to be released. Unexpectedly, not even two days had passed before another big news broke out in the Xu family.

This is what good people like to see.

Yin Zhongshiming of Shuntian Prefecture accepted the case, and then issued a signature asking Xu Xiaoli to come to court to respond.

Xu Xiaoli was still in self-isolation because of the incident with Liu Ruohe. Unexpectedly, when his confidant Zheng Bo came in to report the lawsuit, he was so shocked that he almost fell from his chair to the ground.

After being surprised, he quickly recovered.

"They really went to sue?"

Uncle Zheng also looked numb, "I'm really suing."

Xu Xiaoli was immediately furious, "What does Mrs. Xu do for food? You still haven't solved this matter after so long?"

Uncle Zheng was speechless. After all, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and it was actually quite difficult for Mrs. Xu to be the mistress of the house.

Xu Xiaoli would not be considerate of his wife's difficulties, but angrily went to Xu's yard.

As soon as he entered the back room and smelled the smell of medicine, he frowned in disgust.

Seeing Mrs. Xu lying weakly on the bed, he didn't mean to step forward to comfort her. Instead, he questioned Mrs. Xu from a distance.

Mrs. Xu stayed up all night because of Mrs. Qiao's words. She had a severe headache. Now that she heard her husband's groundless accusations, she suddenly felt that she had died unjustly.

"Master Marquis, don't you know if there is any money in the house?"

Xu Xiaoli had a stern face, "I don't care, do you want me to go to court to embarrass myself? In short, you have to settle this matter for me."

Last time, he could barely stay out of the matter, but in the end he was able to save his face by killing his relatives. This time, he was the subject of the lawsuit, and the nature was different. He couldn't afford to embarrass this person.

Mrs. Xu had always been docile in front of her husband, but this time she felt chilled after hearing his shameless words.

"Master Marquis, I'm so ill and you still force me to do this, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Xu Xiaoli glanced at Mrs. Xu with disgust. He hated this old woman more and more now. "You are the mistress of the Marquis Mansion. If you can't handle this matter, then let me give up your position as the mistress of the house to someone else."

Xu's heart felt as if it was being grasped by a giant hand.

She had been working as a horse for the Xu family for so many years, and now that she was useless, she just wanted to kick her away. How could it be so cheap?

Taking a deep breath to ease her heartache, she spoke as rationally as possible.

"Master Marquis, you and I are one husband and wife. If I don't have dignity, you won't have dignity either. I'll pretend I never heard what you just said."

Xu Xiaoli snorted coldly. He had long been accustomed to not taking his wife seriously.

"You'd better listen to what I say, otherwise I will hand over the responsibility of middle-class feeding to the second younger brother and sister. You can think about it yourself."

Mrs. Xu looked at her heartless and righteous husband. She could deceive herself before, but now she finally sees this man clearly.

Neither her sad posture nor her haggard and sick appearance could move his heart.

His heart was made of stone, no, he was only cruel to her.

After figuring it out, she finally gave up her fantasy.

"If you want to repay your debt, there is only one way to go, and that is to sell off the things in the warehouse and temporarily tide over the difficulties."

"Ms. Xu, you're crazy. That's what our ancestors left behind..."

"Then what do you want to do? Or you can just force me to death."

Xu couldn't bear it anymore and said directly.

Seeing that her husband remained silent, she finally gained the upper hand.

"When I die, you will be clean. Wait until your scandal spreads throughout the city. Don't talk about this title by then. Whether you can have a good death is still unknown?"

At this time, she was extremely sarcastic.

Seeing how unruly she was, Xu Xiaoli raised his palm to hit her.

Mrs. Xu raised her head and looked at him without fear. If this slap came down, she would give up her job.

Seeing Xu's indifference, Xu Xiaoli finally put his palm down slowly, considering the overall situation.

"Then let's do it."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, and even went to court to report the matter.

Bai Nianhan, who was hiding in the ant room, witnessed the whole process of the quarrel between her parents-in-law, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, for fear that Mrs. Xu would take it out on her.

Just when she was trying to think of a way to escape, she heard Mrs. Xu yelling.

"Where are all the people? Bai Nianhan, get out of here."

Bai Nianhan didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly came out of the side room with the soup, trying her best to smile, "Mother-in-law, I'm here."

Mrs. Xu had no intention of venting her anger on Bai Nianhan, and now she could still be used.

"Hel me up."

Bai Nianhan quickly handed the soup to the maid aside, then stepped forward to help Xu stand up.

Mrs. Xu took her confidants and Bai Nianhan and went straight to Lan Xinyuan.

When Bai Nianhan saw Mrs. Xu actually coming to Gu Deyin's yard, she was both expecting and frightened.

"Mother-in-law, the second sister-in-law has returned to her parents' home. What are we doing here?" she asked tentatively.

Xu glared at her, why are you talking so much?

Bai Nianhan quickly stopped talking and helped Xu move forward honestly.

Mrs. Xu did not enter the flower hall where Lan Xinyuan received guests, nor did she go to Gu Deyin's bedroom. Instead, she went directly to the warehouse where Gu Deyin stored her dowry.

As soon as he saw this destination, Bai Nianhan instantly understood what Xu was going to do, and his face couldn't help but become excited.

Gu Deyin, Gu Deyin, even if you hide back to your parents' home, you will inevitably have your dowry stolen.

Even if she wanted to take her to court this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy.

Mrs. Xu was not in the mood to care about the excitement on Bai Nianhan's face, but ordered her surroundings, "Go and smash the door of this warehouse." (End of Chapter)
