Gu Qinlan waved Zou's finger away with contempt, her face as cold as ice: "It doesn't matter whether I can have children or not. The key is that I don't care about your children at all. As for why they suddenly broke up with you, do you really have no idea?"

"You irrationally barged in with Lou Zeren and forced Zheng Fenghui to apologize. Was it me who secretly instigated this? Zheng Huaiyu asked you for help, but you flatly refused. Was it also me who instigated this?"

Zou was speechless for a moment.

Gu Qinlan sneered contemptuously, then turned her head to look directly at Princess Duan: "Mother, look at Madam Lou's appearance, it is obvious that we don't need to intervene. Besides, she still has her family to rely on. Even if someone really needs to step up, it should never be our former family. Otherwise, how will outsiders mock our Zheng family? Will they say that our Zheng family lacks backbone and shamelessly pesters the former daughter-in-law? Or will they question that the current head of our Zheng family has an ambiguous relationship with the former sister-in-law, and even interferes with the private quarrels between the couple?"

"Feng Hui's words are very pertinent. If you are determined to support your niece, then try to solve it yourself and don't drag down the reputation of Prince Duan's Mansion. Our Prince Duan's Mansion has always been famous and never interferes with other people's family disputes, let alone private affairs between husband and wife."

After saying this, Gu Qinlan turned around and left resolutely.

Zheng Fenghui and Zheng Huaiyu followed closely, walking hurriedly.

Only after they had left did Zou open her voice again and wail, "Aunt, look at that merchant girl. She's going to make a scene! Can you bear to watch her bully me like this?"

Although Princess Duan felt sympathy for her nephew, Gu Qinlan's words just now made her sober up instantly.

At this moment, hearing Zou's derogatory name for Gu Qinlan, she couldn't help but feel angry: "Shut up! So what if she's a merchant girl? She's now the daughter-in-law of my Zheng family, and her status is far higher than yours. If you look down on merchant girls, then why did you lower yourself and marry a merchant?"

"That's enough. Go back now. Since Feng Hui and Huai Yu are unwilling to help you, I don't want to disappoint them. Go back to your parents' home and let them support you. Madam Cen, please show the guests away."

Although the niece is a close relative, she cannot surpass her own daughter-in-law when it comes to family interests.

Besides, this niece had betrayed the Zheng family and herself.

Her eldest son had just died in battle, and his body was still warm, but her niece couldn't wait to remarry. How could she accept this? Although the court did not explicitly prohibit widows from remarrying, women's remarriage would always have a negative impact on their children.

At that time, she tried her best to stop it, thinking that at least they should wait until the mourning period for her eldest son was over before discussing remarriage, then she might be able to accept it.

However, Zou knelt down and begged her to give her a way out, and even claimed that if she had not insisted on letting Zou marry into Prince Duan's Mansion, she would have married Lou Yongwei long ago and would not have missed that beautiful time.

At that moment, the rage in Princess Duan's heart erupted like a volcano, almost suffocating her and almost vomiting blood in anger.

Clearly, during the old days of proposing marriage, she had specifically sought Zou's opinion, and Zou herself had happily nodded and agreed to step into the honorable Prince Duan's Mansion!

However, later on, her youngest son, as the head of the family, actually agreed to Zou's remarriage, which made her extremely angry and determined to completely cut off ties with her. However, she was kind-hearted and easily influenced, and with the mediation of Zheng Huaiyu, her anger gradually subsided.

Seeing Zou being beaten all over today, her heart couldn't help but soften, and she really wanted to stand up for her.

Unexpectedly, there was a secret hidden in it that she didn't know about! Zou even openly belittled her daughter-in-law in front of her!

Who is she?

Although Gu Qinlan's status is low, she is the mistress of the house who was married home openly by their Zheng family. To despise the mistress of the house is to despise the dignity of the Zheng family!

Asking her to remarry was already a great insult to the Zheng family. Now she wants to insult the Zheng family again?

It’s simply a fool’s errand!

Princess Duan's anger grew stronger and stronger. She turned to Zou and said coldly, "Don't set foot in Prince Duan's mansion unless it's important. Since you have remarried, you should live your life in peace and don't go back to your ex-husband's house so often that people will gossip about you. You may not care about your face, but the Zheng family does."

Zou's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she rushed forward and grabbed the hem of Princess Duan's skirt: "Aunt, please, you are the only one I can rely on now."

Nanny Cen stepped forward and pried Zou's hands apart with a skilled technique: "Madam Lou, you are really joking. You have your husband's family and your mother's family. How can you rely on my old lady? If outsiders misunderstand, they will think that it is my old lady who has caused discord between you and your husband's family."

"Mrs. Lou, you must keep going on the path you have chosen, even if it means you get hurt. There is no regret medicine in this world, and there is no way back. Please."

Zou still refused to leave, tears welling up in her eyes.

Princess Duan was worried that she would be soft-hearted again, so she hurriedly fled the scene.

Finally, Zou was sent out of the house at the request of Nanny Cen.

at the same time.

Gu Qinlan came out of Princess Duan's residence and was about to return to her own courtyard, but she found that the two loyal followers behind her were reluctant to leave. She turned around and looked at them.

"Hmm? You guys plan on following me forever?"

Zheng Huaiyu lowered his head involuntarily, and said in a low voice: "I feel a little depressed. Can you talk to me for a while?"

In this mansion, he really couldn't find anyone to whom he could confide his true feelings.

The maids all around her were praising her, her grandmother was a little confused, her aunt was also of no help, and her two younger brothers, one was simple-minded and the other was young and ignorant, and they could not see through her thoughts at all.

After thinking about it, it turns out that only Gu Qinlan can be considered a sensible person.

Gu Qinlan didn't seem very busy. She pointed to a pavilion not far away and said softly, "Let's go there."

Zheng Fenghui also hurriedly followed, but Zheng Huaiyu glared at him and asked unhappily: "Why are you following?"

Zheng Fenghui snorted disapprovingly: "I do."

As soon as he finished speaking, he deliberately quickened his pace and arrived at the pavilion first.

Zheng Huaiyu was so angry that his face turned blue and his expression was as ugly as it could be.

Gu Qinlan witnessed this scene and couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth.

She had never experienced the intimacy of brothers and sisters. Each of the so-called brothers and sisters of the Gu family was very scheming. She rarely interacted with them unless she had to.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between brothers and sisters in an ordinary family can be so vivid and interesting.

After sitting down in the pavilion, Zheng Huaiyu sighed deeply, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, as if he had a lot on his mind but didn't know how to start.
