eart. My grandfather and your father were the best of friends. Fearing that after his death, the Meng family would mistreat me, my grandfather sought this marriage alliance. Out of self-interest, the..."Rebellious daughter!"

Upon hearing such nonsense, Gu Jing Sheng immediately flew into a rage and slapped his daughter across the face, producing a resounding "pa" sound.

This slap stunned Gu Xuanyi. Her father was usually very kind to her and had never hit her before. Today, however, he slapped her because someone else had scolded him.

Zhang was also taken aback.

Gu Jing Sheng glared at her with anger, angrily rebuked: "Gu Xuanyi, if you don't want to lose face, you should immediately go back to your in-laws' house. While your brother-in-law comes to pick you up, you still have a way out. If you continue to make trouble and anger your brother-in-law away, I think you will be disgraced when you go back alone!"

Gu Xuanyi was deeply wronged, covering her beaten face and sobbing: "Father, do you know what kind of life I've been living at my in-laws' Do you know how much I've suffered What has your son-in-law done to me"

Gu Jing Sheng's face was ashen. "No matter what grievances you've suffered, you're already married now. Didn't you like him very much back then Marriage is a lifelong commitment, follow your husband like a hen follows the rooster, follow your dog like a dog."

"Father, I..."

Enough!

Gu Jing Sheng喝叱一聲，一臉強勢，不容置喙道：“There are no insurmountable contradictions between husband and wife. My mother and I also had contradictions, didn't we We have been married for twenty years and even had three children. Now you don't understand anything and want a divorce. If you really divorced, you would regret it too late. Besides, your uncle has always treated you very well. Is it just because of one problem that you want to divorce If you miss him, will you find someone better”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanyi's mind flashed with images of her and her husband's loving moments, causing a wave of hesitation in her heart. She opened her mouth to speak but swallowed the words back down. However, when she recalled her husband's attitude today, her heart grew cold again.

"Xuan Yi!"

"Xuan Yi!"

At this very moment, a hurried and anxious call from the son of Duke Wu'an came from outside.

Gu Xuyan was stunned. She didn't expect her husband to catch up to her mother's yard so quickly. Hearing that familiar voice, bits and pieces of their marriage flashed before her eyes. The thought of divorce suddenly seemed less firm than it had been at first, and her heart wavered once more.

Zhang shi did not want her daughter to divorce. With the attitude of persuading harmony and not separation, she gently soothed: "Xuan Yi, since your brother-in-law has come, you should have a good talk with him later. You've only just returned to your mother's home, and he followed all the way here, which shows that he cares about you very much.

Gu Jing Sheng didn't want his son-in-law to hear anything bad. He glared at his daughter warningly: "Your mother is right, you should speak nicely later. Don't be a child and throw a tantrum. If you make your uncle angry and he leaves, I'll sweep you out of the house. If you have the guts, just go wander the streets and don't come back."

Gu Xuanyi's face tightened. She never expected her loving father to become so heartless.

Zhang looked at her daughter with a sigh, then went out to prepare for her son-in-law's arrival. Just as she stepped out of the house, she saw her son-in-law rushing towards her with worry etched on his face. He asked anxiously, "Mother, I heard that Xuanyi is here with you. How is she doing"

Seeing him so nervous about his own daughter, Zhang shi also let out a breath of relief and softened her face, saying, “My good son-in-law, please come in and speak first. Xuanyi is inside

Upon hearing this, the prince of Wu'an immediately nodded and hurriedly quickened his pace into the room. As soon as he entered, his eyes searched for Gu Xuanyi.

Seeing Gu Xuanyi, the crown prince of Wuan rushed over in three steps and two. Ignoring the elders present, he directly hugged her, saying remorsefully, “Xuanyi, it was all my fault. I didn't understand the situation clearly and wrongly accused you. Forgive me, okay”

顧萱宜 is clearly the spoiled child, sometimes with quite a temper. Now that she's in a bad mood, she suddenly pushed him away and said coldly: "Yes, you haven't figured out the truth of the matter, yet you treated me like this. Now you come here playing the victim for whom"

Gu Jing Sheng felt his daughter was a bit clueless, and he scolded her in a low voice: "Xuan Yi!"

Zhang saw that her son-in-law's attitude was good, and she hurriedly advised: "Xuan Yi, speak nicely. Let's first solve any problems we have. It's normal for couples to have misunderstandings."

"Xuan Yi, I was really wrong. It was I who wronged you. If you're angry, then hit me. As long as you can forgive me, you can hit and scold me." The Duke of Wu An said this, grabbed Gu Xuan Yi's hand, and before the other party could react, he grabbed her hand and slapped himself hard in the face.

With a loud "pop," Gu Jing Sheng and Zhang Shi froze.

Gu Xuanyi was also stunned, apparently not expecting her husband to do this. She already had injuries on her hands, and now she was being grabbed and beaten, the injured area sending a sharp pain through her. She quickly came to her senses and tried to pull back her hand, but her husband held onto it tightly and continued to slap her face.

Gu Jing Sheng and Zhang Shi were startled by the sight. Naturally, they couldn't let their son-in-law return home with a slap mark; otherwise, tomorrow who knows what rumors would spread. The couple rushed forward to stop him.

Gu Jing Sheng hurriedly said, “Good son-in-law, Xuan Yi this child was spoiled by us, has a bad temper, and caused all this trouble. If there is blame to be assigned, Xuan Yi is more at fault.”

Zhang also said, “Dear son-in-law, it’s normal for couples to have disagreements. If you have any misunderstandings, just talk them out clearly and don’t hurt your relationship as husband and wife.”

When the Marquis Wu'an's eldest son heard this, he stopped pulling his wife's hand toward his face. He turned to look at his father-in-law and mother-in-law, with a guilty expression on his face: "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, today's matter is my fault. I misunderstood Xiaoyi and hurt her feelings. I also caused you both worry, it's truly my fault. After things were cleared up, my mother and I also realized that my younger sister was in the wrong first. My younger sister was punished with confinement for disrespecting her elder sister-in-law. As for the previous punishment of Xiaoyi with confinement, it is now void.

When Zhang heard the outcome, she was secretly pleased. Her in-laws had taken a stand, and although her son-in-law initially misunderstood Xuanyi, once he understood what happened, he realized his mistake and immediately came to comfort Xuanyi.

Gu Jing Sheng also felt that this outcome saved their Gu family's face, but he was still very displeased with his daughter running back to her mother's house to cause a commotion about divorce. Fortunately, his son-in-law didn't hear these words, otherwise it would have caused even greater conflict.

"For a moment, Gu Jing Sheng said, "Son-in-law, since this is all a misunderstanding, you two should just get along well. He said this while giving his daughter a warning look with his eyes, and then continued, "Xuan Yi, you're not a child anymore, you can't keep causing such a commotion in the future. If there's a misunderstanding, resolve it first, don't run back to your parents' house. Isn't that embarrassing Later, you go back with your husband and apologize to your in-laws."

Gu Xuanyi originally felt less wronged when she heard that her younger sister-in-law had been punished and her own confinement was lifted. However, her father's words made her angry again: "If you want to go back, you can go back yourself. I won't be going back!"way, An'ning, how is Madam Shen doing"Song Xining smiled: "Madam Shen is much better, she just had a serious illness and suffered greatly. She needs to rest well."Having said that, she thought of anot...
