Mrs. Wang thought that Xu Shuhua's refusal to accept the room was the limit, but she didn't want her to dare to confront herself in front of her, and suddenly her face turned from white to red, and then quickly turned blue, and she looked at her angrily: "Xu Shuhua, I am your mother-in-law!" You dare to disobey my orders, you are unfilial! ”

Xu Shuhua lowered his head, his posture was humble, even though he stood for most of the hour, his back was still as straight as a jade pine: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." I am your daughter-in-law, and I should listen to you, but I am also the wife of my husband, and I can't accept these two rooms for him without his knowledge, which is also a violation of my duty as a wife. ”

"If the mother-in-law really wants to give her husband a room, please wait for him to come back and then give him it to him in person. At that time, if the husband accepts it, the daughter-in-law will not say a word again. ”

Since Mrs. Wang took charge of the family, no one had ever challenged her majesty so much, and her hands trembled with anger for a while: "Xu Shuhua...... Don't think that Ji'er loves you, I won't dare to touch you, no matter what, I am also the mother of this family, so I can't be your master! ”

"You've been in the door for less than four months to dare to be so presumptuous, and you'll have to do it in the future! I'm going to teach you a lesson today! Come on, take the family law! ”

Zheng Xiuyun's face changed, and she hurriedly persuaded: "Mother-in-law, don't!" The third brother and sister are still pregnant! What's more, if the third brother comes back to see that his younger brother and sister have been beaten, if we ask, how should we explain? ”

"You're so dazed! I'm his mother-in-law, and I need to explain something to him! Mrs. Wang was angry, where could she listen, "My daughter-in-law is not virtuous or filial, can't I still fight!" Let's take the family method! ”

Soon, Zhao's mother took the family law - a smooth and thick bamboo board, which was specially used to punish the female relatives of the family.

Before the punishment, Mrs. Wang took a deep breath and looked at Xu Shuhua with heavy eyes: "Xu Shuhua, let me ask you one last time, will you accept these two rooms?" ”

Facing the bamboo board held in front of him, Xu Shuhua didn't even tremble his eyelashes, and said calmly: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Mrs. Wang laughed angrily: "Okay, good...... Very good! I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin today, Mother Zhao, fight! ”

"Third young lady, offended." As she spoke, Mother Zhao spread out Xu Shuhua's palm and held the bamboo board high.

At this moment, an angry shout came from outside the hall: "Stop me!" ”

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Gu Yunji strode into the hall, snatched the bamboo board from Zhao's mother's hand and threw it down, pushing her to a stagger. Then he supported Xu Shuhua's waist with his left hand, and the whole person was in a protective posture, firmly protecting her.

Xu Shuhua stood for most of the hour, and it was already the end of the crossbow, when he saw Gu Yunji coming back, his spirit instantly relaxed, and he unloaded half of the weight on his arm, and he could no longer support his heavy body.

Mrs. Wang was shocked and angry: "Ji'er, what do you mean by this!" ”

Gu Yunji turned around, bowed his head to Mrs. Wang, regarded it as a salute, raised his head and looked directly at her, and said, "My son still wants to ask his mother, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gu Yunji has been in the Hanlin Academy for a few months, and in the end, he has been exposed to some official style, and his voice is loud and he does not squint. No matter how much Mrs. Wang is, she is just a backhouse woman, and she was overwhelmed by his momentum for a while, and suddenly lost a little confidence when she spoke: "...... Xu Shuhua is not virtuous and filial, disobedient to her elders, as her mother-in-law, can't I still teach me a lesson? ”

Gu Yunji snorted lightly, as if he had heard some joke: "Since Shuhua married his son, he has been considerate and thoughtful everywhere, and he has never been unreasonable in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now that she is pregnant with her son, she is about to give birth to an heir for my Gu family, it can be said that whether it is a wife or a daughter-in-law, Shuhua has done a blameless job. ”

"Dare to ask my mother, where is she not virtuous? Where is not filial piety? Disobedience to the elders, how can it be reflected? Gu Yunji's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and a series of questions made Mrs. Wang speechless, "You are my mother, and my son does not dare to ask you." But Shuhua is my wife, and if you want to punish her, your son will have to ask why. ”

Qin Yurong didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, seeing that Mrs. Wang was passive, and her heart was anxious for a while, so she had the courage to interject: "Three...... After the third brother and sister became pregnant, she drove the third brother to sleep in the study, and she didn't even arrange for you to serve anyone. The mother-in-law bothered to pick a room and send it over, not only did she not accept it, but she also confronted her mother-in-law in court, isn't this the act of a jealous woman who is not virtuous and unfilial? ”

Gu Yunji glanced at her coldly: "I'm asking my mother, what is the second sister-in-law anxious about?" Besides, where I sleep at night is a private matter between me and Shuhua, where did the second sister-in-law find out? ”

Qin Yurong suddenly choked, and said with a red face: "I, I also heard about it by chance......"

Gu Yunji didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang and said: "Regarding the matter of having a room, I don't know if my son's previous attitude was not obvious enough, which caused my mother to misunderstand, if that's the case, my son will say it again: I don't like it, and I don't need any concubines, I beg my mother not to stuff people in my room anymore." ”

Saying that, Gu Yunji said again: "If my mother is angry with Shuhua for this matter, please don't be angry with her." Because I told her that I wouldn't accept the concubine room, and I wouldn't let her collect the concubine room for me, the root cause of everything was my son, and Shuhua just didn't dare to go against my will. ”

"No matter what the reason, Shuhua, as a junior, really shouldn't disobey your orders. But I also ask the mother to read that she is pregnant with Liujia, and not to punish her, but to beat and punish, and to come to her son alone. ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Yunji lifted his robe and knelt down towards Mrs. Wang, looking respectfully accepting the punishment.

If Gu Yunji yelled as soon as he came back, and he had to protect Xu Shuhua regardless of whether he was indiscriminate, Mrs. Wang still had a way to deal with it. But he put on this posture, first selected Xu Shuhua from the charge of being unvirtuous and unfilial, and then took all the blame on himself, and took the initiative to ask Mrs. Wang for the guilt, but she had nothing to say.

The matter of the back house has never involved the man in the front yard. Although Gu Yunji is a concubine, she has always been filial and sensible, and the imperial examination has been smooth all the way, and now she has an official body, I don't know how much glory she has added to Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law.

What's more, today's matter is not big, Mrs. Wang is just angry that Xu Shuhua challenged her mother-in-law's authority, and it is far-fetched to punish her, where can she be punished on Gu Yunji's head.

Mrs. Wang's expression changed several times, and finally she sighed and regretted: "Ji'er, you are a manly husband, for a woman, why did you do this? ”

Mrs. Wang is not a man who has never seen a man who loves his wife, but Gu Yunji is still the first one to protect this child.

Gu Yunji said calmly: "Shuhua is the wife of the main room hired by my three media, so naturally it should be cherished. What's more, if you can't even protect your own wife, what kind of manly husband can you talk about? ”

Gu Yunji knew that Mrs. Wang would not punish herself, she just knelt down and made a show. At this time, seeing that Xu Shuhua was already sweating and was about to lose his footing, Gu Yunji didn't want to spend any more time with them, so he immediately got up neatly: "It's getting late, and my mother must be tired, so let's go back and rest early, and my son will come back tomorrow to receive the punishment." ”

After that, without waiting for the others to react, Gu Yunji turned around and picked Xu Shuhua up carefully and walked towards his courtyard.
