Chapter 171: Making Things Worse

Mrs. Gu was so angry that she laughed instead.

"The father and grandfather of the Duke of Guo are really good at being a good person. The only thing that can be said is that he has been treated well. Look at the days when they are forced to leave the house, should they be treated like a direct descendant? "

For this reason, the Duke of Guo also had a headache.

"A few days ago, my son-in-law was assassinated by thieves and remained unconscious. When he woke up, Dongyuan had been burned to the ground. Liulang also moved them here with him. Even if I wanted them to go back, I still had the intention. It’s so powerless.”

"However, mother-in-law, don't worry. I will welcome you back when Dongyuan is repaired. Now I am just staying at Liulang's place temporarily."

When he said these words, his eyes were quite sincere.

It's a pity that sincerity is of little use to Mrs. Gu, all she has is endless dislike for him.

"Take it back, what are you doing to take it back? Continue to live a life where the sky is not responding and the earth is not working? My lord, there is a god three feet above your head. Your heart is already outside the west city gate. Don't stay with me. It’s so pretentious in front of the old lady.”

Shang Yukuan wanted to explain, but saw that Mrs. Gu had already waved her hand and did not want to talk to him anymore.

"Okay, I'll just tell you that on the day of the reception banquet, you can come if you want, but you can only come alone. If you don't come, don't come. You are not a must for our Gu family!"

After saying this, Mrs. Gu spoke to Nanny Qin next to her.

"see a visitor out."

"Yes, madam."

Shang Yukuan came here because he wanted to ask for something, otherwise why would he come here to scold him?

But before he could say a few words, Mrs. Gu blocked his way.

What can he do?

Thinking of Mrs. Wei outside the door, he also had a headache.

She has taken great pains to take care of herself these days, which is both a credit and a hard work.

And coming to the General's Mansion for a banquet is not a big deal at all.

Even if they don't post anything, they still get what they deserve.

I just wanted to go through this journey to be more legitimate, but now it seems that there is no way out.

Not to mention the Wei family, even people from the Wei family of the Shang family can't even think of entering the house.

The whole person was in a difficult situation, but Nanny Qin and everyone came up to him to send him out, so what could he do?

He had no choice but to sigh and follow out the door dejectedly.

As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Mrs. Wei coming up to her.

Her cheeks were a little red from standing in the cold wind, and her nose was also the same.

Originally her eyes were full of hope, but after seeing her husband's expression, she understood the general idea and asked anxiously.

"What did the old lady say?"

Shang Yukuan shook his head, with helplessness and embarrassment on his face.

Mrs. Wei was a little unhappy when she saw this. In fact, she came not only for the Duke's Mansion, but also for the Wei family.

The entire city of Sui'an has invited all the famous people, but their two families have refused to do so. Isn't this because they are rushing to tell everyone that they are not on good terms with them?

Everything else is still trivial. The most troublesome thing is the marriage between Shang Qilang and Wei Jialian.

Both of them are of marriageable age. Wouldn't it be a pity not to show their faces at such a nice banquet?

So, he said with red eyes.

"Do you still disagree, Madam? Why don't I go in and talk about it? My sister was very kind to me in the past. I can't just stay away from each other for the rest of my life just because of a misunderstanding."

The sister Mrs. Wei mentioned was naturally Mrs. Gu.

She is good at acting on her own, but unfortunately she has no one to watch.

Aunt Qin lowered the curtain without saying a word, and closed the door as well.

The attitude was so cold that everyone could tell that they were not welcome.

Aunt Dou and Butler He also walked out immediately as if they were pinched, and said to them.

"My lord, please."

"Mrs. Wei, please."

Such a performance made the two of them unable to get off the stage. Mrs. Wei actually wanted to beg again, but Shang Yukuan had no face to treat her.

Head straight outside!

Mrs. Wei was extremely angry, but she couldn't say anything else at this moment.

After leaving the general's mansion, the two got into the carriage and drove.

At this moment, her heart was colder than the weather outside, and Mrs. Wei started crying as usual.

"The old lady is dissatisfied with my concubine, so don't involve the children. We are all a family, so why can't we come to this dinner? My family members also don't post. Isn't this a slap in our face?"

"Master, tell me, if I were really the black-hearted stepmother that people say these years, would my children be able to grow up well? How come everyone can come and step on me?"

She cried sadly, and Shang Yukuan also sighed one after another.

"The old lady is not dissatisfied with you, she is dissatisfied with me. According to what she said, if everyone in our house really goes, there will be trouble, or... or forget it."

"Forget it? How can I forget it, Master?"

Such an occasion is not something that the Duke's Mansion will be able to achieve in the future.

Originally, Shang Yukuan was not taken seriously in the court. In the past, he might have been able to gain some attention from others because of Shang Ji's face.

But now, I'm afraid that after the banquet is over, the trend of Ancheng will change.

The Wei family is better off, at least both father and brother are well-known in the court, but their government is really struggling.

Although there is support from Prince Fu's Mansion, Yu Shang Qilang's future is not good.

Therefore, Mrs. Wei was very anxious.

But even if she was anxious, Shang Yukuan was powerless, so she could only shake her head and sigh.

"If you have a way, go and do it yourself. I have no tricks. You didn't see the old lady's look just now. She wanted to eat me!"

After all, they are relatives. Why are the people of the Gu family so ruthless when they turn against each other?

Mrs. Wei was so angry when she heard what her husband said, but there was nothing she could do.

Her husband's weakness was not a matter of one or two days, so she had to find another way.

Maybe it would be better to go to Princess Yuehua's door?

Thinking of this, she felt that it was time to go to Prince Fu's Mansion.

So after the carriage sent Shang Yukuan back to the Duke's Mansion, she did not follow him down, but asked the driver to change direction and went straight to Prince Fu's Mansion.

Now there are only a few days, and she doesn't want to delay.

When the Duke saw her leaving in a hurry, he felt powerless.

Thinking of his mother-in-law's disgust and disdain for him today, he was also in a headache.

I really don't know how to attend the housewarming party on that day.

On the other side, Xu Lai came to the courtyard.

Madam Gu sat calmly in the carriage, while Madam Xing next to her was cursing fiercely.

"This Duke really has the nerve to come to the door! He dares to bring Madam Wei with him! It's really shameless to get together with shameless people, both of them are not good people!"
