Chapter 15: Fighting is in vain
Chapter 15

Shen Ling was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore. Shen Jiao beside him didn't forget to add fuel to the fire: "Brother, if you don't know, you might think this is their Gu family. Sister-in-law doesn't take our Houfu Shen family seriously at all."

Shen Ling ordered his men to take action, but unfortunately, the people from the Shen family were no match for the maids and servants brought by Han Chan, and could only be beaten.

Han Chan took some time out of his busy schedule to come over and beat up Shen Ling and Shen Jiao!
"Bold little maid!"

This is simply a shame!
Shen Ling couldn't help it at this time: "Someone, call all the palace soldiers to me!"

He felt a deep sense of failure.

Gu Nianchu didn't take her husband seriously at all!

If he doesn't deal with Gu Nianchu, he will have even less control over her in the future. This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate!
Han Chan and the others would not give them time. Her master gave her an order to beat them as she pleased, as long as she didn't beat them to death.

When the palace soldiers arrived, Shen Ling and Shen Jiao had already been beaten by Han Chan to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy.

Seeing the soldiers coming, the brother and sister both had the same idea: "Beat them to death!"

The palace soldiers rushed over. These palace soldiers were usually well-trained, and there were thirty of them. They originally thought that they could defeat Han Chan and the other women no matter what.

Han Chan managed to knock down more than twenty of them by herself, and it was very easy for the remaining maids and servants to deal with one each.

"Well, the lady has instructed us not to dirty our hands, so let's just spare their lives."

Han Chan clapped his hands and kicked Shen Ling: "My Lord, take these useless subordinates with you and leave quickly. If you want to see our young lady anytime, send a visiting card in advance. If our young lady is willing to see you, then you can come. If she is not willing to see you, then stay away and don't come up to me and get beaten."

Shen Ling and Shen Jiao were sent to Fu Shou Tang together. Old Madam Shen was so angry that she cursed Gu Nianchu for a bad death. She said that she would go to the General's Mansion to find the head of the Gu family to ask them how they raised their daughters.

"Mother, don't say these useless things."

Shen Ling was a little annoyed. He couldn't help but grin when he moved a little: "Shi Yan, go and ask the old marquis to come over."

The first thing the old marquis did when he arrived was to beat Shen Ling.

"I told you to calm down and not to provoke the Gu family at this time, why didn't you listen? What good will it do for our mansion if we quarrel?"

Old Marquis Shen was so angry that his lips were trembling, and he started to scold his legitimate son. Old Madam Shen couldn't stand it: "Are you going to help that bitch from the Gu family?"

Old Marquis Shen had never liked his foolish wife. He snorted coldly, "Fools, you have come to this point. What else can you do except get beaten for nothing? You have brought shame upon yourself with your two children!"

Why are my legitimate sons and daughters so stupid?

Because their biological mother is an idiot!
Old Lord Shen was just about to say this out loud.

The old lady was dying when she heard this. Shen Jiao was also terrified and rushed over to hug her mother: "Mom, don't be angry. Father only said this because he was angry."

Madam Shen walked down the stairs, her voice softening as she said, "My Lord, I know you are angry now, but you have to think of a way out. You can't just let the Gu family shit on us like this."

Lord Shen felt that the old lady's words were vulgar, and his expression was still very ugly: "Think of a solution? What solution can you think of? Don't you know what the situation is in the palace now?"

The old lady's face darkened. Shen Ling and Shen Jiao did not have a specific housekeeper, so they were not clear about the situation in the Marquis' Mansion. But she knew it very well. The year Gu Nianchu came into the family, the money spent by the Marquis' Mansion on the eldest son's marriage was settled after the banquet.

In the first month after Gu Nianchu came into the family, the old lady handed over the household chores, which amounted to only a few copper coins, to Gu Nianchu on the grounds that she valued Gu Nianchu.

Even when Gu Nianchu found out she was pregnant, she refused to help. Shen Jiao muttered to herself, "Since Gu has entered our Shen family, her money naturally belongs to the Shen family."

"Jiaojiao, you are confused! A woman's dowry is her private property! No one in her husband's family can use it. You are also a woman, how can you say such a thing?"

Old Marquis Shen rebuked Shen Jiao harshly: "If this word gets out, how can you marry into a good family in the future? What will people think of our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"

Shen Jiao said, "Father is right. I won't dare to do it again."

Shen Jiao didn't show any sincerity in admitting her mistake.

The family discussed it and decided to pretend that no one had been to Haitang Garden today.

In Haitang Garden, Gu Nianchu and his men were cleaning mutton.

The mutton is freshly slaughtered and the most tender meat is served to us, cut into thin slices and simply blanched in the soup pot before eating. It is fresh, tender, smooth and delicious.

"Miss, you are really a prophet. Today we beat up the prince and the third lady, but they didn't dare to fart."

Qiu Bi's eyebrows were beaming with joy. She followed Han Chan in beating people up today and vented all the anger she had endured over the years. She felt so refreshed.

Gu Nianchu smiled faintly: "They are still thinking about taking away my dowry, why would they tear their faces with me at this time."

Now that they had fallen out, she moved her dowry back to her parents' home. What could she eat and drink in such a huge mansion?

There is no northwest wind.

Gu Nianchu didn’t eat much. She planned to bring some to eat with Chang Huan later, so she waited for dark to leave the house.

Nanny Tian was a little worried, afraid that the old marquis would go to the General's Mansion to ask for an explanation. Gu Nianchu analyzed the situation for her, clapped her hands and told her not to worry. The other maids were also broad-minded and told her not to worry.

Nanny Tian could only pretend not to care.

I thought to myself, it would be nice if the young lady could divorce and return home from such a family.

As soon as it got dark, Gu Nianchu couldn't wait to take Han Chan over the wall and leave.

When Chang Huan saw Gu Nianchu, he couldn't hide his love on his little face.

"Mother, Chang Huan is very happy."

He clearly expressed his joy, and Gu Nianchu went over and hugged him gently: "Changhuan, mother brought you some delicious food."

Han Chan had someone bring charcoal, and when she came she even brought a small copper pot filled with mutton bone soup that had been simmering for an hour.

Chang Huan stared at the copper pot on the charcoal fire, smelling the rich aroma, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He pursed his lips a little embarrassedly.

"Chang Huan, come here. Mother will help you to eat mutton and fish."

Gu Nianchu held Chang Huan and sat down next to her. She picked up a few slices of mutton with long chopsticks and blanched them in the pot. After counting a few pieces, she put the mutton slices in Chang Huan's dipping saucer.

Chang Huan's dipping sauce was specially prepared by Gu Nianchu for him. It contained sesame oil, peanuts, minced garlic, soybean oil, and a little rice vinegar. "Chang Huan, try it."
