Before leaving the house, Meng Jinyao gave her a silk handkerchief to use as a veil to prevent the maids from seeing the injuries on her face on the way to Shou'an Hall. I believe she did not want this side of herself to be exposed in front of the servants.

She was in a panic when she returned to her parents' home, but that was different. Xuan Yi didn't care too much at the time. She finally saw a chance to escape. The situation was urgent, so she didn't even dress up. She was just disheveled, without regard for dignity, and in a state of embarrassment. Escaped secretly from Wu Anbo's mansion.

When Gu Xuanyi saw this, she was stunned for a moment, but soon realized it. She glanced at Third Aunt gratefully and said, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

After saying that, she covered her face with a silk handkerchief, tied a knot on the back of her head, and then followed them, nervously going to the Shou'an Hall to meet the elders, ready to explain the matter clearly and discuss countermeasures together.

She felt very uneasy along the way. The third uncle was an uncle, not a father. He could not be her master and could only give advice. What should she do if her father disagreed with the divorce? If the mother agrees but the father does not agree, can the mother persuade the father to agree?

Gu Jingxi and the others had just arrived at Shou'an Hall and were about to enter the house when they saw Mrs. Zhang coming out in a panic.

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Jingxi and his wife. She soon saw the young woman wearing a veil beside them. She knew from her figure that she was her daughter. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xuan Yi, mother just heard that the maid is coming." You said you saw you running back with your hair disheveled and you seemed to be injured. What did you say that your servants were not allowed to tell me and your father? "What's going on?"

Gu Xuanyi finally felt less afraid after seeing her mother nervous about her.

Gu Jingxi said: "Sister-in-law, this is not the place to talk. Go in and talk first."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang nodded hurriedly and pulled her daughter in.

As soon as they entered the house, Gu Jingsheng and Gu Jingsong, as well as Mrs. Gu, cast their eyes over. They were all stunned when they saw Xuan Yi wearing a silk handkerchief to cover her face.

The next moment, before they had time to salute Mrs. Gu, they saw Gu Jingsheng standing up suddenly. Before asking for any reason, he pointed at Gu Xuanyi and scolded her: "Gu Xuanyi, you are a rebellious girl who wants to be angry to death." Are you not a father? You run back to your parents' house for a trivial matter and wait for your uncle to pick you up? Just because someone can come to pick you up once, doesn't mean that they can humbly pick you up a second time."

Gu Jingsheng's attitude was resolute: "I can tell you, if you make peace with me over something, then you might as well die in your husband's house with a piece of white silk. I would rather you die than make any trouble." He Li is in disgrace! Why should you hide your face? Are you too shameless to see others? Last time you were arrogant and willful and beat your sister-in-law, but this time you were beaten back? You have been willful since you were a child, and now you are still willful as someone else's daughter-in-law. Marrying into such a good family and having such a good husband aren’t you satisfied?”

When Mrs. Zhang heard what her husband said, she thought that her daughter had gotten into trouble again. She probably hit her sister-in-law again or had a fight with her. Otherwise, how could the maid say that Xuan Yi was injured? She said with a headache: "Xuan Yi, are you having a conflict with your sister-in-law again? How many times have I told you that you can't conflict with her, otherwise your mother-in-law will be dissatisfied. Just put up with some small things. Now that you are having conflicts again, do you still imagine the divorce you had last time? You are no longer a child, so why are you still so impulsive in doing things? My uncle is such a good person, if you reconcile with him, can you find someone better than him? "

Her father's harsh scolding and her mother's accusations extinguished the only glimmer of hope in Gu Xuanyi's eyes. She felt cold all over, and tears fell from her eyes again. She subconsciously leaned towards her third aunt, trying to seek shelter. She knew that if she wanted to reconcile, she would definitely face strong opposition, so she didn't dare to go to her parents at the first time, and went directly to her third uncle and third aunt. The third uncle is fair and strict, while the third aunt is young, soft-hearted and easy to talk to, and will help her persuade the third uncle to help her reconcile.

Meng Jinyao frowned and instantly understood why Xuan Yi immediately sought out their husband and wife instead of her biological parents. When she saw Xuan Yi approaching, she reached out to hold Xuan Yi's hand and comforted her silently.

The warmth coming from her left hand made Gu Xuanyi feel a little warm and rekindle a little hope, but her tears fell even harder. She didn't expect that her biological parents would tell her fault without even asking, but her third aunt stood beside her. side.

Mrs. Gu frowned in disapproval when she heard the couple talking to their child like this, and immediately scolded her with a straight face: "Boss, boss and wife, how do you become parents? How could the child run back for no reason? Your natal family? If you can run back to your natal family, you must have been wronged. No matter how good your uncle is, there will be times when Xuan Yi will be wronged. It’s wrong of you to accuse Xuan Yi indiscriminately. Those who don’t know better think you are my uncle’s parents. , Xuan Yi is a picked-up child."

After the words fell, Gu Jingsheng was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be scolded at such an old age. From the bottom of his heart, he was still in awe of his aunt, so he didn't dare to talk back this time. He replied sarcastically: "What mother said is true. Yi has been disobedient since he was a child, and now his son is so angry that he scolded Xuan Yi."

Mrs. Zhang also said: "My daughter-in-law is too anxious. Xuan Yi and her sister-in-law have always had conflicts, and they got into trouble last time."

Mrs. Gu glared at her and said with a worried expression: "The last time was the last time, and now is the present. Isn't it possible that Xuan Yi made the first move every time? Her sister-in-law is not a peaceful character. Maybe this time Was it the sister-in-law who made the first move?"

Mrs. Zhang was choked by these words, but her mother-in-law's words were not unreasonable, but she only thought her daughter was losing her temper again, so she became anxious.

"Stop standing, sit down and talk."

As Mrs. Gu spoke, her eyes fell on her eldest granddaughter, and she said warmly: "Xuan Yi, don't be afraid. Tell your elders carefully what happened. The elders will make the decision for you." After saying this, she waved her hand. , and asked the serving maid to step back.

Several people sat down, but Gu Xuanyi did not sit next to her mother Zhang, but instead sat next to her third aunt.

Mrs. Zhang felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her daughter like this. She was the mother, so why did she sit with her third brother and sister? But thinking about what she had just said, she felt relieved again.

Gu Xuanyi choked with sobs and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter regrets it. She shouldn't have disobeyed her elders and went her own way to marry something worse than that beast. She was also deceived by that beast."

As she spoke, she took off the silk handkerchief that covered her face, revealing the injuries on her face, and continued: "These were all beaten by him, and the marks on my neck were from when he wanted to strangle me. , if I hadn’t revealed Third Uncle’s name and brought back his remaining sanity, I would have died at his hands. In addition to my face and neck, there are also injuries from his beatings on my body.”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Jingsheng, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Jingsong and Mrs. Gu were shocked. Their eldest son-in-law usually seemed gentle and gentle. They never expected that his eldest son-in-law would do something worse than a beast. A grown man actually beats his helpless wife.

Gu Jingsheng looked at the injuries on his daughter's face, thought for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "Xuan Yi, what big mistake did you make? That made my uncle so angry?"
