Chapter 700 Did they bully you?
Qionghua Courtyard.
Gu Qianning had already learned the whole story and found out that Shen Wantang had no intention of being the housekeeper at all. It was her sister-in-law and mother who first insisted on letting her be the housekeeper and then refused to let her be the housekeeper.
She said angrily, "I think mother is too partial and has started to go back on her word! What's the matter? My eldest sister-in-law thinks housekeeping is too tiring, so she threw it to you to take care of? Why didn't I hear her say she was tired before you came?"
"Atang, don't worry. I'll tell Mother when I get home. It's fine that she's always been partial to my eldest brother, but now that you're married to my second brother, she's suppressing you and favoring my eldest sister-in-law. I won't tolerate that!"
Shen Wantang smiled and shook her head: "You don't have to tell me, this matter has passed. If there is anything else, I can handle it myself."
Gu Qianning slammed the table in anxiety. "That won't do. How can I let you handle the Duke's Mansion on your own? Before you married in, I promised you that no one would bully you after you married in. I also said that my sister-in-law and mother would treat you well! But they treated you like this. This is a slap in my face!"
Shen Wantang was touched. Her friend was so supportive of her, thinking about her in everything and fearing that she would suffer any loss. How could she involve Gu Qianning and make her feel awkward in the middle?
She took Gu Qianning's hand and said with a relaxed tone, "It's okay. Just listen to me. Don't worry about this matter. Although mother and sister-in-law have some ideas, they are not too extreme. So I can handle it well. What's more, we are all decent people, so don't expose this matter."
Gu Qianning knew that she didn't want to make things worse. She always liked to leave some room for maneuver and was quite patient.
Perhaps, this has something to do with her childhood experiences. She has been living under the control of her stepmother since she was very young, and she has no idea how many times she has endured it.
Gu Qianning sighed with pity: "Atang, you have been wronged. If you had known this would happen, you might as well not have married my second brother. If you had married someone with a simple family background, or someone without a mother-in-law, your life would definitely be much easier."
Shen Wantang chuckled softly, "Stop talking so childishly. No woman's marriage is perfect. Marrying into the Duke's Mansion and marrying your second brother is already my best choice."
"Those with simple families naturally don't have the wealth and splendor of the rich and powerful. Living too poorly isn't a good thing either. A poor couple has many sorrows. I still have to earn money to support the family, and I have to work hard."
"As for those without a mother-in-law... there might be other nosy relatives, or other unexpected difficulties."
Gu Qianning shook her head after hearing this: "Marrying is not good at all. I still like being my own daughter at home. If I marry into someone else's family, I don't know how my mother-in-law will torment me!"
At the end of her speech, her voice had already dropped.
"Originally, I thought I would marry into the palace and marry my cousin. Then, my aunt would be my mother-in-law. She has always loved me and would definitely not make things difficult for me. Therefore, my life would not be difficult at all, and my cousin and I would live happily forever..."
The smile on Shen Wantang's face gradually disappeared.
Wrong, in the previous life, after Gu Qianning married into the palace, her personality changed drastically, and she was completely different from the lively and cheerful girl she is now.
In other words, her life in the palace was not easy.
"A Ning, don't think about him anymore. He's not that good to you. You... you still like him?"
Gu Qianning immediately shook her head, her eyes red as she said, "How is that possible! I don't like him anymore. Not only do I dislike him, I'm going to kill him! I want revenge for Big Brother! And Ji Xiuyuan, in my previous life, he was implicated by me and was killed along with Big Brother by the people sent by Xiao Qingxuan."
At that time, all the people who came to welcome the bride were killed! More than a hundred lives were tragically lost in front of her!
She was the only one who was captured alive and brought into the palace.
She knew in her heart that the reason she was able to survive was because Xiao Qingxuan wanted to use her to threaten Gu Qianhan.
The tragic scenes of her previous life were deeply imprinted in her memory. Even after being reborn, the pain was still unforgettable.
Shen Wantang sighed slightly: "A Ning, don't act rashly. He is not an ordinary person. It won't be easy for you to kill him."
Gu Qianning wiped her eyes and forced a smile. "Don't worry, I know the importance of this matter. I'm listening to my second brother now. He's more experienced and capable than me. I told my second brother that I only have one request."
"any request?"
"He wants to leave Xiao Qingxuan to me, I want to kill him with my own hands!"
Shen Wantang didn't say anything this time, because Gu Qianning's wish was too reasonable and no one could refuse it, and Gu Qianhan should not refuse it either.
The room fell into silence.
Until Gu Qianhan walked in and broke the painful silence.
"What happened to you two? Did you have a fight? Did you have a falling out?"
Shen Wantang raised her head: "What nonsense! Why would An Ning and I quarrel? We are fine!"
Gu Qianning also looked up at Gu Qianhan: "Second brother, you underestimate our friendship. How could we possibly fall out? Even if you and Atang fall out, I won't fall out with her!"
Gu Qianhan's expression turned cold: "If you don't know how to speak, then shut up. Atang and I will never break up!"
Although his expression was grim, the atmosphere in the room instantly became relaxed after he interrupted them.
Just then, Nanny Yan and Nanny Chang walked in.
Nanny Chang bowed to the masters and said, "Second Master, Madam would like you to come over."
"what's up?"
"Madam said it's a very important matter. You'll understand when you go there."
As soon as Nanny Chang finished speaking, Gu Qianning jumped up: "Second brother, mother must have called you over because of the housekeeper's matter! Don't go!"
Gu Qianhan frowned slightly: "The housekeeper's business? Isn't the housekeeper the eldest sister-in-law?"
"It was my eldest sister-in-law, but she was too tired, so my mother asked Atang to help manage the household! But after Atang agreed, she changed her mind and stopped Atang from managing the household! Don't you think this is just a joke?"
Gu Qianhan's face darkened: "Is there such a thing?"
He turned to look at Shen Wantang: "Atang, is this true? Did mother and sister-in-law play a trick on you? Did they bully you?"
Shen Wantang smiled at him and said, "No, it was my mother and sister-in-law who wanted me to manage the household for a year so that she could recuperate. I said I would manage it for five years so that she could rest for five years. They probably thought that was too long, so they said they would not let me manage it anymore."
She spoke concisely and lightly, but Gu Qianhan instantly understood the intentions of his mother and sister-in-law - they wanted to order Shen Wantang around and treat her as a laborer, but they also had to be on guard against her and treat her as an outsider!
His face was cold, and he walked out: "I'm going to the main courtyard!"
