forts go to wasteLi Wan'er saw that he remained silent, her face changing several times. She couldn't guess what he was thinking and felt very uneasy, fearing that he would blame everything on her and...All lamented his misfortune and were angry at his unwillingness to fight.

Last year, to this day, they haven't consummated their marriage. Such a huge thing, she even has to hide it from her in-laws. If it wasn't for the sudden discovery that her uncle had homosexual tendencies, because Xuyan hasn't been able to conceive after all these years of not consummating their marriage, the public pressure would have been unimaginable.

What if you just bring the adopted child over

He was known as the "eldest uncle." People would say that he was a man of great loyalty and affection. Knowing his wife couldn't bear children, he neither divorced her nor took concubines. Instead, people gossiped that it was because Xuanying was unable to have children.

This old uncle is really shrewd, he calculated that Xiaoyan isn't clever enough and is easy to manipulate. And she's devoted to him completely. Although he has no interest in women at all, he pretends to be sincere, even fooling her own family.

Zhang couldn't help but cry, feeling both angry and heartbroken: "Didn't your mother tell you that their family situation was complicated Why didn't you listen You insisted on going your own way. You agreed to me on the surface, but secretly you kept in touch with him behind our elders' backs."

Gu Xuanyi glared with hatred, gritting her teeth and saying: "It was all Yunxiang's fault, that wretched servant. She instigated me, saying that grandma didn't want me to marry well, so she said bad things about the Wuan Marquis Mansion. She told me all kinds of good things about that beast, and since that beast had been showing me kindness, I was momentarily possessed by a demon."

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was stunned once again and instinctively looked at Madam Gu. Seeing that Madam Gu only furrowed her brow without showing much anger, they knew she didn't mind this sort of thing.

Zhang was utterly puzzled: "Xuan Yi, Yu Xiang is your trusted maid and loyal to you. How could she secretly instigate you to do such a thing"

Gu Xuanyi shook her head: "I don't know

She finished speaking and burst into tears again, the more she thought about it, the more she felt foolish. She didn't listen to her grandmother and mother, but listened to that bitch's words and foolishly believed she had received a unique kind of love.

Gu Jingxi pondered for a moment, then said: "Yu Xiang wouldn't provoke Xuan Yi to do foolish things out of the blue. Perhaps Yu Xiang is also being manipulated."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized the gravity of the situation. It was highly likely that someone was trying to frame Xuan Yi, but who would be so sinister as to use such a scheme against her

Gu Jingxi asked again, "Xuan Yi, where is Yunxiang now"

“She’s still at Duke Wu’an’s mansion. After that beast beat me, I knew something was wrong with her, but I didn't confront her. I wanted to keep her calm. She shouldn’t have any suspicions yet, and she hasn’t run away.” Gu Xuan Yi replied, thinking she had done a good job this time. Knowing there was something wrong with Yunxiang, she still treated Yunxiang as usual, so Yunxiang wouldn’t suspect anything.”

Gu Jingxi nodded. "I'll have someone bring Yuxiang over. When the time comes, we'll know who the mastermind is." He finished speaking and got up to walk outside to instruct his men to bring Yuxiang from Marquis Wu'an's residence without anyone noticing.

Inside, Gu Xuanyi cried bitterly. She didn't know how she could be so unlucky, betrayed by the trusted maidservants around her who colluded with outsiders to frame her.

Gu Jing Sheng saw his daughter crying, and he was also a little upset. He scolded: “What use is crying now You were short-sighted before, and now you still want to divorce and make a spectacle of yourself. My face and your mother's face have been disgraced by you. A divorced woman will be looked down upon even if she remarries.”

Gu Xuyan stopped her crying and retorted, "When Mother said this marriage was a bad idea, you said it was excellent. How come you're blaming me now"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingheng's face flushed slightly.

Eldest Madam also didn't want to hear the father and daughter accusing each other. She immediately chimed in, "Big Brother, since things have already happened, don't blame Young Miss anymore. She's young and innocent, it's understandable that she could be deceived. A woman who has been divorced still has a chance to remarry, let alone someone who has only separated Young Miss is still a pure maiden, making it even easier for her to remarry. The most important thing now is to get the brother-in-law and Young Miss to separate.

Gu Jing Sheng hurriedly said, "Mother is right."

Mrs. Gu looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and asked, "Didn't Xiu Yuan accompany his wife back to her parents' home"

Zhang nodded: "Yes, I went back with the children yesterday."

Mrs. Gu said, "Such a big thing has happened at home. You send someone to let them know and ask them to come back first."

Zhang nodded in agreement. She actually felt the same way. While Xuyan was arrogant, she got along well with Xiu Yuan's wife. With Xiu Yuan's wife back, she could properly soothe Xuyan.

After that, everyone comforted Xuanyan and calmed her down.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After about an hour, Zhou Yun returned with Yunchang.

Yuxiang already knew what was going on. These past two days, even though her master had been beaten, he still treated her as before, making her think that her master had long since ignored what she had instigated.

Until this morning, she woke up and found that her master was gone. She panicked instantly, but there was no movement last night, so it shouldn't be the uncle who took the master away. It is estimated that the master should have left quietly on his own.

When the old uncle returned, she had Ruixiang lie in bed pretending to be the mistress, with her back turned towards him. She then said a few things, which managed to fool him. Otherwise, if the old uncle had found out that the mistress was missing, it would have been them who suffered. Because as the mistress's chief maidservants, they were the most likely people to help the mistress leave.

After entering the room, Yuxi saw all three members of the Gu family present. Especially seeing Gu Jingxi, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a thump.

Gu Xuanyi saw Yu Xiang, her emotions instantly surged. She abruptly stood up and pointed at her, saying: “It’s this wicked servant who harmed me! If she hadn't praised that beast to the skies in front of me, I would never have married that beast!”

Chang looked grim and asked harshly, "Yichan, why did you harm Xuanyan"

Yu Xiang trembled and replied, "Madam, I didn't mean to harm the young lady."

Zhang Shi was furious and said, "You still say you didn't mean to I told Xuanyi about the bad things about the Wu'an Marquis's family, and you were there listening at the time. You understand that the Wu'an Marquis's mansion is complicated, yet you still instigated Xuanyi to make a fool of herself. Although Xuanyi is somewhat arrogant, she has never been harsh on the maidservants around you. Why would you do this"

Gu Xuanyi took a few steps forward, raised her palm and slapped Yan Xiang's face fiercely, saying in a hateful voice: "You bitch, don't forget that your contract is in my hands. Better tell the truth, or I'll sell you to the dirtiest and most despicable place, letting anyone have you!"

Upon hearing this, Yuxiang's face turned pale, fear etched all over her features. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably as she replied, "I can tell you who that person is, but please, Miss, spare my family. They are innocent and know nothing about it.

Although Yuxiang was sold into the Gu family as a maid, she still had a family. They were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, so they had no choice but to sell her to the Gu family. At least this way, she could have enough food to eat, and the money from the sale could allow her family to eat for a while. Furthermore, with the monthly wages she earned, she could also send some money back home to help her family.

Gu Jingxi directly answered on behalf of his niece: "Since your family members are innocent, they will naturally not be implicated. But you must confess truthfully and not utter a single lie."

Having received Gu Jingxi's promise, Yuxi let out a breath of relief and truthfully said: "Actually, the one who asked me to do this was the young master. No, now he is no longer the young master. He has been stripped of his title as young master and expelled from the clan by the family. He is now an exiled criminal named Gu Xiuming."d to your mother back then, would you be suffering like this now"Gu Xuanyi opened her mouth, but did not speak.Zhang patted her daughter's hand and said solemnly, "If you want to change the current si...
