Gu had couished heir apparent with a reputation to defend, how could he allow hier on one of his wives?

However, Xu Ran Yun had really pissed him off this ti or two

Sure enough, the moment he entered her courtyard, Xu Ran Yun had trotted out to welco his unhappy expression, she also withdraw the smile on her face and said cautiously, ”Did Elder Madaave her a look, and without a word strode into the house Xu Ran Yun also did not dare to say anything, and just followed him in wordlessly Her husband sat on one of the chairs, face as cold as a winter pond This ed

Her thoughts flew to Mei Yue Lou, Su Nuan Nuan's actions as a violent shrew had really upset Mada wife and good h she had been pushed into a corner, for what stupid reason that woman could scream and smack you around whereas I have to bow ed party here

Themade her lift her head Xu Ran Yun's naturally hot temper suddenly flared itself as she stiffened her neck and sat down right in front of Duan Tingxuan With a cold smile, she said, ”Looks like my Lord have come to criticize me, since it is this way, since it is so, this lowly concubine shall not resist”

Duan Tingxuan's eyes narrowed, Xu Ran Yun's stubborn attitude was starting to annoy him If he can't control her today, wouldn't she be even more wilful the next ti hiain, or try to find other ways to get rid of Nuan Nuan, that would be xuan was not one to allow others to control hiave Xu Ran Yun an indifferent look, and said, ”Froed soht?”

”Just rong did this concubine do? If the Lord wishes to care about his abandoned wife it's his privilege However, ould my Lord allow himself to be bullied and chased around all over the courtyard by that shreoets out, then, my Lord's reputation…”

The ot Her face turned red, however, before she was able to finish, her husband stood up With sudden anger, he said, ”Who says that she's an abandoned wife? I've never sent any divorce papers, so how could anyone say she's an abandoned wife? As for her chasing me around, that's up to me, how could a little tiff between between a husband and wife be soue would be so busy as to leak this matter out? What happened to the family rules? More importantly, so what if it's leaked out? Is my reputation based upon this matter alone? What sort of ing around his wife's pants?”

Xu Ran Yun was shocked Duan Tingxuan had never lost his te that she had said the wrong thing However, this wohts were very nimble, stubbornness would cost her her husband's affections, therefore she imathered in her eyes and fell like rain In a voice choked with emotions, ”I… this concubine's words are too hasty, how could this concubine consider solike my Lord, who is blessed with cleverness and wit I a that you've sent her to Mei Yue Lou because you didn't want her any , don't act rashly” Duan Tingxuan gave a cold snort He glared at Xu Ran Yu and said in a heavy tone, ”I still re to inform you to continue with Mei Yue Lou' allowance At that point you were perfectly agreeable However, what happened in the end? If Nuan Nuan had not gotten stronger, or if she lacks her excellent cooking skills, she would have starved to death by now”

Anger flared up in Xu Ran Yun's heart That day when you threw them into Mei Yue Lou, wasn't it to starve that poisonous woman to death? Now you turn this question back to u her wordless She also realized that she could not allow her real thoughts to leak out

She could only leak outMadam never did treat me well in the past, ry When I was looking after the palace, there was so s out My Lord, I did not intentionally try to get back at her Please forgive me this one time, there won't be a next time”

In the end, she was still a secondary wife, not a mere bed companion, which was probably why she dared to raise such trouble in the first place However, now that he had knock her down a few pegs, she probably would not dare to h

[Translator's Note: Hah, you think?]

As soon as he thought of this, Duan Tingxuan allowed his expression to darken a little He stood up and said neutrally, ”Ran Yun, you've always been a clever one and have kept your true thoughts to yourself, until now I know, you really hate Nuan Nuan, however, she is still my official wife, while you're only the secondary wife This is a matter of social rank, and as such, youthat you did before, including today's matter, I can overlook However, you have better not try anything again, you understand me?”
