Chapter 701 Touching His Reverse Scale
In the main courtyard.
Madam Gu was directing the maids to arrange the account books and matching cards, which were just sent by Meng Yunlan.
Madam Gu looked at the piles of account books and felt overwhelmed. "Does our Duke's Mansion have so many accounts? No wonder Yun Lan feels tired. I feel exhausted just looking at them."
Gu Qianhan's indifferent voice sounded behind her: "So, mother couldn't bear to let sister-in-law suffer, so she let Atang suffer?"
Madam Gu turned around abruptly and asked, "Did your wife come back to complain to you?"
"She didn't complain."
"How do you know about this if you haven't complained?"
"If my mother hadn't sent someone to call me, I really wouldn't have known about this! Atang was wronged and ostracized by you, but you didn't tell me a word. It was Aning who told me!"
Madam Gu's face was a little stiff. "That damn girl, why is she talking nonsense in front of you? Don't listen to her nonsense. Your wife was married in a formal ceremony after all. How could I let her suffer any injustice? How could I exclude her?"
"Really? What about the housekeeper thing? Why do you insist on letting her take charge sometimes, and then not let her take charge sometimes?"
Gu Qianhan's expression was icy: "Is it fun to tease her?"
Madam Gu quickly said, "I'm not kidding her. I just don't think she's too willing to manage the household, and your sister-in-law said she can continue to manage the household, so I won't let your wife manage it anymore!"
"Then tell me, mother, have you ever treated your sister-in-law like this?"
"me……"
Mrs. Gu choked and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Because she had never treated Meng Yunlan like this before.
Gu Qianhan exposed Mrs. Gu's thoughts with one sentence: "Mother has never taken Atang seriously in her heart. My eldest sister-in-law thinks that being a housekeeper is tiring, so you ask Atang to take over the housekeeping for her. My eldest sister-in-law wants to be a housekeeper, so you kick Atang away!"
"No, I didn't mean that. Why did you say that to me?"
"Because that's what mother did!"
Gu Qianhan's eyes were filled with gloom: "Mother can be partial to my eldest brother and not take me seriously, but Atang is innocent! When you are partial to your eldest sister-in-law, don't use her as a stepping stone!"
Madam Gu was also annoyed: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are filial and sensible. What's wrong with me being partial to them? Your eldest brother would never question me like you do without respect! And your eldest sister-in-law would never complain about me to your eldest brother behind his back. She is the most virtuous and respectful person!"
Gu Qianhan sneered: "You have always been unconditionally partial to Big Brother, so Big Brother naturally has nothing to question you about! If today's events were reversed, and you used Big Sister-in-law as a stepping stone for Atang, do you think Big Brother would question you?"
"Your eldest brother wouldn't do that! Your eldest brother is much more filial than you, he always listens to me!"
"In that case, from today on, I will be the Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion, and I will inherit the title of Duke's Mansion in the future!"
Mrs. Gu looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?!"
"Also, the stewardship is also handed over to Atang. From now on, all affairs of the Duke's Mansion will be decided by Atang. Sister-in-law, please step aside! The eldest wife's food, clothing, and other expenses will no longer be covered by the Crown Prince, and the number of maids and servants serving them will also be reduced by half!"
"Gu Qianhan! Are you crazy?!"
"Mother, why are you so anxious? Didn't you say that my eldest brother is more filial and obedient than me? Didn't you say that my eldest sister-in-law is virtuous and respectful? Since they are all so good, what's wrong with giving up the position of Crown Prince and the power of housekeeper?"
Mrs. Gu's face turned pale with anger: "You, you are so ambitious! Have you been coveting your eldest brother's position as the crown prince for a long time?!"
Gu Qianhan pulled the corners of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile: "In my mother's eyes, I am an ambitious person. That's why you don't teach me anything and don't give me anything, right?"
Madam Gu looked at him coldly, "Don't dream! The title of Duke's Mansion can never be given to you! Your eldest brother is the eldest son, and the title has been his since he was born! No matter how many tricks you use, you can't take it away!"
"I do not care!"
Gu Qianhan's voice was as cold as ice: "Atang doesn't care about the housekeeper power!"
"Meng Yunlan thinks being a housekeeper is tiring, so let her go! It's impossible for Atang to want something she doesn't want!"
"She wants to occupy the position of the Crown Prince's wife, but she doesn't want to suffer the slightest bit. She also wants Atang to do work for her, and she doesn't allow Atang to share the power of the Duke's Mansion. How come she gets all the good things in the world?!"
"Want to play tricks on me? Even if she dies a hundred times, she still can't beat me! Be careful or she'll kill herself!"
"Mother wants peace in our family, so let's treat each other equally! Treat Atang the same way you treat Meng Yunlan!"
"If you can't treat everyone equally, mother, don't blame me for turning the Duke's Mansion upside down and there will never be peace again!"
Mrs. Gu looked at him blankly. She had raised this son for so many years, but she had never seen him get so angry or say such vicious words.
Although he is usually cold, he has never had such a big emotional fluctuation. Even if the sky falls, he will still look indifferent and calm.
Did this...touch his sore spot today?
In the past, she was even more partial to the eldest brother, but she never saw Gu Qianhan come to settle the score with her, let alone see him lose his temper.
Today, I was just a little partial to the eldest brother's wife, and Gu Qianhan went crazy.
The maids and nannies in the room had never seen Gu Qianhan get angry before. At this moment, they were all trembling with fear and no one dared to say a word.
The second young master was notoriously cold-blooded and ruthless. No one dared to provoke him unless he was angry. Now that he was angry, even fewer people dared to provoke him.
Gu Qianhan didn't care what the people in the room thought of him, he didn't even care what his mother thought of him.
Seeing that his mother stopped talking, he turned around indifferently and strode away.
It was a long time after he left that Mrs. Gu finally found her voice: "This evil creature has gone crazy! He even dares to call his sister-in-law by her first name!"
Although she was cursing Gu Qianhan, she felt a little cold in her heart.
Fortunately, fortunately, it was a false alarm. She thought Gu Qianhan really wanted to snatch the position of the crown prince from his elder brother!
It turned out that he was just trying to scare her!
As long as he doesn't fight for the position of the crown prince, and as long as Shen Wantang doesn't fight for the position of housekeeper, everything will be fine!
Nanny Chang stepped forward and said worriedly, "Madam, this matter...is indeed not very appropriate. You should not be so obvious in the future. The Second Young Master is no pushover! He loves the Second Young Master's wife so much, so he naturally doesn't want her to suffer any injustice. It's best not to rush into his trap."
Mrs. Gu couldn't help but grit her teeth: "How could I have known he would have such a big reaction? He never cared about this kind of thing before!"
"Madam, the past is the past, and the present is the present. They are all your biological children. The Second Young Master has started a family now and is no longer a child. You should at least give him some face!"
