Plans After the Divorce

Logically speaking, people who have done bad things should feel guilty, so they should throw the fried chicken out to feed the dogs and get away with it.

However, Zhou Yaya's thought process is different from that of normal people.

She would rather die than give up her child's food.

"Woof woof!" She barked back at the dog, and the two faced off in a stalemate.

Xu Weibei's aversion to stupidity had flared up.

You went out and ran off in the middle of the night, and to make matters worse, you came back barking like a dog, disturbing everyone's sleep. Has this Marquis's Residence lost all its rules?

"Zhou Yaya!" he said through gritted teeth.

He couldn't remember other people's names, often misattributing them, but he could remember Zhou Yaya's.

There was nothing she could do; her senior brother was always thinking about her.

Fourth Concubine was startled, "Back off!"

Having walked too many dark roads, has this person encountered a ghost?

"What are you holding in your hand!" Xu Weibei's gaze fell on the food box in her hand.

"I... I went to find my husband... to have dinner with Sister Gu," Zhou Yaya said. "She packed me some food."

Suddenly she became Sister Gu?

Xu Weibei was so angry he ground his teeth.

"You are not allowed to take her things. Now that she has divorced and left the manor, she has no connection with the Marquis's Residence."

"It has nothing to do with the Marquis anymore, but it doesn't mean it has nothing to do with us."

My Marquis, please have some decency and reason.

"Zhou Yaya!"

"Exist."

"Gao Lan, Fourth Concubine broke the rules by climbing over the wall in the middle of the night. Drag her down and give her ten lashes."

Only ten times?

Xu Weibei seemed to hear his Fourth Concubine mutter something, but he didn't hear it clearly.

Forget it, I'm not going to argue with an idiot.

He snatched the food box and left, hearing his Fourth Concubine anxiously shouting behind him, "I'll accept being beaten, but why are you taking my food, Marquis?"

"Hey, dog!"

Fourth Concubine was furious. "The dog eats better than you!"

Hitting her is fine, but taking her food is something I really can't stand.

"Gao Lan, have him beaten badly!"

Gao Lan was like a tapeworm in Xu Weibei's stomach.

Zhou Yaya is his darling, how could he possibly hit her hard?

But seeing that she was so reckless as to try to snatch the food box, Gao Lan quickly stopped her and whispered, "Grandma, don't take advantage of the Marquis's favor towards your senior brother. Look at what you've done!"

"He stole my food box. He's going to feed the dog the food I shamelessly asked for, which I wouldn't eat myself." Fourth Concubine was also very angry.

Everyone has a temper sometimes.

Gao Lan thought to himself, "That guy didn't even get to eat, and you got to eat first. How can he be happy about that?"

You're adding fuel to the fire...

"It's just a bite to eat; I'll have Madam make it up to you another day. The Marquis is already in a bad mood, so don't make a fuss."

"He's really no good."

Gao Lan exclaimed in horror, "Grandma, calm down! Let's go, I'll take you to the Marquis to apologize. Just apologize, don't say anything else, and you won't have to take the beating."

"I'm not going!" Fourth Concubine said, "I'll take the beating."

Gao Lan: You might be willing to fight, but I might not even dare to fight you!

Your senior brother's protectiveness is on par with that of the Marquis.

If they come back to settle scores with me later, won't they retaliate a thousandfold?

"I'm begging you, my lady, please go and say a few kind words to the Marquis. Even if it's not for the Marquis's sake, please do it for my sake, okay?"

Why should I do this for you? Are we even that close?

He's a lackey, just like Xu Weibei.

"Just for Madam's sake; if she were here, she would definitely advise you in the same way."

"Alright," said the Fourth Concubine.

Perhaps her food can still save her life.

As a result, Fourth Concubine followed Gao Lan to the study, waited at the door, and after Gao Lan reported back, called her in.

In all honesty, her original intention was absolutely to say something conciliatory and settle the matter peacefully, out of respect for Gao Lan.

But the problem was, she saw Xu Weibei's oily lips, and she just couldn't stand it.

"My Marquis, you ate my fried chicken! Weren't you going to feed it to the dogs? You're fighting with the dogs for food, I... mmm..."

Fourth Concubine was dragged out after Gao Lan covered her mouth.

--Ancestor, I sent you here to plead for leniency and avoid punishment, not to beg for additional punishment.

You see through things but don't say it out loud, don't you understand?

Gao Lan dragged Fourth Concubine all the way back to her own courtyard before daring to let go, repeatedly begging her to stop.

"How about I go find Madam for you another day and ask her to make these dishes for you again?" Gao Lan was practically begging her.

"Alright then," Fourth Concubine reluctantly agreed. "Fine, it's not your food anyway, so I won't make things difficult for you. Weren't you going to be punished with a cane? Go ahead and punish me, so you won't have no way to explain yourself when you get back."

"Can you just pretend we've already done it?"

Is that okay?

"Fine, just don't go around telling everyone, and you can just sell me out."

"All right."

The very next day, Gu Wanning learned everything from her Fourth Concubine.

"I'm not afraid of getting beaten! Even if I get beaten, I'll still say it: Marquis is a real dog!"

"You've got some nerve," the First Concubine laughed. "Look at you, so capable! You're just taking advantage of the Marquis's easygoing nature."

They came together as a group of four today.

Because the Fourth Concubine boasted about how comfortable Gu Wanning was living outside, the Second Concubine begged Xu Weibei to help them, and with proper permission, the four of them came together to see Gu Wanning.

The Second Concubine retorted that the Marquis had thrown away all pretense of dignity to grab leftovers, so how could they possibly be stopped from seeing the mistress?

The Marquis had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time.

Tsk tsk, they'll be together sooner or later.

These days, it's just young couples having a disagreement; it's nothing serious.

"Self-draw." Gu Wanning pushed the tiles in front of her away and said lazily.

She didn't want to get involved in any discussions about Xu Weibei.

"Give me the money, give me the money."

"We're guests here, and you're taking our money without holding back," the Second Concubine said with a smile.
