Chapter 108 Are You a Guest? Oh, Uninvited Guest
The Duke's Mansion.
Mrs. Wang stayed in the house by herself, while the other daughters-in-law went back to their parents' homes to pay New Year's greetings. They had not gone out before because of the snow, but now that the snow had melted, they all returned to their parents' homes with their children.
After receiving the report from Nanny Yu, Butler Qin walked in with his back bent and told Madam Wang about Wanzhou's opening of a relief center.
Mrs. Wang was such a smart person that she almost immediately guessed Wan Zhou's intention. If you don't care about the money, it is a very good way to accumulate reputation by doing good deeds.
Mrs. Wang admired Wanzhou's clever approach.
But she was also very confused. Where did Gu Wanzhou get so much money? It only took a few hours to do something like this, and it would cost thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, at this critical moment, where could she buy so much food?
Thinking of the high-priced charcoal of unknown origin that Wan Zhou had bought before, Mrs. Wang frowned deeply.
Who is Gu Wanzhou’s background?
"Madam, would you like me to take a few people with you to help?" Butler Qin suggested, not knowing that Wan Zhou had already left the Duke's Mansion.
"No need." Mrs. Wang replied.
Gu Wanzhou's move was obviously to build up reputation for herself, but even though she had a divorce letter, she did not dare to publicize the fact of the divorce without the emperor's approval. In this way, her appearance represented the Duke's Mansion.
And if the Duke's Mansion sent someone, Gu Wanzhou would think that the Duke's Mansion was just going to take advantage of him, so why bother?
Madam Wang was right. Wan Zhou would certainly not draw a clear line between himself and the Duke's Mansion at this time.
Seeing that Wan Zhou had appeared for two consecutive days without seeing anyone from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, some curious people asked Wan Zhou in public whether he represented himself or the Duke's Mansion.
Wan Zhou replied: "That's what the general meant. I just helped out with some money and some effort."
These words sounded a bit like the husband and wife following each other's lead, but it was clear that the money was paid by her, Gu Wanzhou, and had nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion.
There are so many kind-hearted people in this world, but only a few of them actually give out real money. And Gu Wanzhou not only gave out money but also personally contributed his efforts?
At the same time, as the news of her donations of supplies to the relief camp spread, people's evaluation of Wan Zhou changed 180 degrees in an instant.
Previously, because Wan Zhou donated money to propose marriage to Ji Nanzheng, she was bad-mouthed by the public. But now, people praise her for being a beautiful and kind person, and a good wife to General Ji.
On the day of Gu Wanyu's wedding, Wan Zhou should go and wanted to go. He wanted to see how sad and depressed Gu Wanyu was. However, considering her current identity as Ji Nanzheng's wife, if she went there, she would inevitably be surrounded by a group of people with ulterior motives.
She really didn't want to deal with it, so she said she was sick and didn't go.
Since he said he was sick, it was naturally inconvenient for him to appear at the relief center, so he stayed at home.
I didn't expect an uninvited guest to come.
Wang Sijun came, but was blocked by Qiu Ge at the door and was not allowed to enter.
Wan Zhou did not deliberately hide her whereabouts, so she was not surprised that Wang Sijun found her. She even guessed why Wang Sijun wanted to find her. It was simply that Mrs. Wang had reported her divorce with Ji Nanzheng back to her parents' home, and she knew about it.
Come over and ridicule me.
Her idea was the same as Qiu Ge's, not to let him in.
But Wang Sijun pushed Qiu Ge who was blocking the door and came in herself.
Wang Sijun is still the same as before. She treats wherever she goes as her own territory, and she holds her head high with her chest out, looking a bit arrogant.
"Gu Wanzhou, is this your way of entertaining guests?"
"You also said it was a way of entertaining guests. Are you a guest? Oh, an uninvited guest." Wan Zhou's expression was indifferent, but his words were sharp.
Wang Sijun didn't care at all and looked at Wanzhou sarcastically: "Gu Wanzhou, I knew you would be kicked out sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. It's really cause for celebration."
Wan Zhou wanted to roll his eyes.
I knew that Wang Sijun came here to take advantage of the opportunity to ridicule me.
It's not that she cares, she just finds it annoying.
"What a coincidence. I knew you couldn't marry Ji Nanzheng, but I didn't expect your aunt to give up on you so soon. It's really pitiful that you've been dreaming about it for so many years."
"Gu Wanzhou!" Wang Sijun roared at Wanzhou.
Wan Zhou's words directly hit her bloody wound, causing her so much pain that she seemed to stop breathing for a short while.
Yes, isn't she pitiful? She had her heart set on Ji Nanzheng and was confident that she would be his wife, but in the end, Ji Nanzheng didn't like her and her aunt gave up on her.
She is even more pitiful than Gu Wanzhou.
Gu Wanzhou at least got it, but she can only live with pain and regret for the rest of her life.
Wan Zhou saw the pain in Wang Sijun's eyes and knew it was caused by her words, but she did not feel guilty.
Wang Sijun asked for it.
Wang Sijun didn't want to admit defeat in front of Wan Zhou, so he endured the pain in his heart and stabbed Wan Zhou again.
"Gu Wanzhou, do you think that you are doing a great deal just by spending a few taels of silver on charity? Even if you do more good deeds, it can't cover up the scandal of you being kicked out of the Duke's Mansion, and your life will be like this. And I am the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. Even if I don't marry Brother Zheng, there are many outstanding young men in the capital, and I can choose at will."
Wang Sijun had learned from her mother that Wanzhou and Ji Nanzheng had already signed the divorce agreement. She hated Wanzhou, why didn't she say it earlier? If Wanzhou had said that they would divorce earlier, she wouldn't have targeted him everywhere, and she wouldn't have been used by Mu Wan'er.
She hated Wanzhou's donation for marriage proposal even more. If Gu Wanzhou hadn't interfered, she might have married into the Duke's Mansion long ago.
It was all Gu Wanzhou's fault. Even though she had already left the Duke's Mansion, she still wanted to step on him, otherwise she would not be reconciled.
Wan Zhou didn't want to talk endlessly with Wang Sijun, so he hurriedly said, "Then go and pick it quickly, don't waste time here, it's too late, the good ones will all be picked up."
"Even though you're annoying, I still wish you could get what you want and pick a good one. Even though no one you pick can compare to Ji Nanzheng, at least they won't be too far behind."
Wan Zhou realized how rude he was after he finished speaking. Why did he say that last sentence? Wasn't it just adding fuel to the fire in Wang Sijun's heart?
But the words had been spoken and she couldn't take them back. She could only watch Wang Sijun rush towards her in anger.
"Miss!"
Qiu Ge noticed that Wang Sijun was about to go crazy, so she hurriedly stood in front of Wan Zhou and pushed Wang Sijun away.
Because she was eager to protect Wan Zhou, Qiu Ge failed to control her strength and pushed Wang Sijun to the ground.
"You stupid girl, how dare you push the young lady." Wang Sijun's maid Yun Gu was a blind protector of her master. When she saw her young lady being pushed down, she immediately jumped up and started fighting with Qiu Ge.
When maids fought, it was nothing more than pulling at clothes and hair. Qiu Ge had no combat experience and Yun Gu had the upper hand.
"Wang Sijun, if you don't take your people away, I will have someone throw you out." Wan Zhou was very angry and looked coldly at Wang Sijun who was still on the ground.
Wang Sijun was the kind of person who didn't have much rationality and would lose all her rationality once provoked. She was pushed and fell, and she was very angry. How could she be willing to let it go?
Seeing Yungu suppressing Qiuge, he said, "Yungu, use more force."
With a "bang", Wan Zhou picked up the cup and smashed it at the door.
The two people who were pulling each other were frightened and stopped temporarily.
The servants outside heard the noise inside and ran in. Wan Zhou coldly ordered the servants who came in: "Find a few people to come in and throw these two pieces out."
