Chapter 114 The son wants Gu Wanzhou to move back to Langyi Courtyard
When Mrs. Wang heard Ji Nanzheng's request, her eyelids twitched for no reason.
"Whatever it is, just tell me. No request or no request."
"My son wants Wanzhou to move back to Langyiyuan."
Mrs. Wang: "..."
The Duke of Guo: "..."
The two looked at each other at the same time, exchanging a look that asked, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Wang was even more careful and realized that he was talking about Wanzhou, not Gu Wanzhou as before.
Could it be that his son became interested in Gu Wanzhou after he went out?
Her heart immediately sank. If this was true, it would be difficult to deal with. She knew very well what kind of temper her own son had.
"My mother mentioned to her a few years ago and asked her to move back, but she said that she would have to leave sooner or later and there was no need to bother." Mrs. Wang chose to take precautions first and take things step by step.
"Mother, I won't leave. Please find someone to clean up Langyi Courtyard and move in tomorrow."
The meaning couldn't be clearer. He wouldn't let Gu Wanzhou leave and he wouldn't divorce.
Ji Nanzheng also knew that Madam Wang had no good feelings towards Wan Zhou, so he looked at Madam Wang and said very seriously: "Mother, perhaps Wan Zhou is still far from being a daughter-in-law that you are satisfied with, but my son seems to like her. Moreover, she just can't stand these things in the backyard. She is not stupid, she can learn, and I hope mother will help her."
"Mother, just forget about what your son said about divorce."
Mrs. Wang's pupils gradually dilated.
Looking at the Duke standing aside, he seemed to be calm at this time.
He thought to himself, he had guessed it right, his precious son had indeed fallen in love with Gu.
As for how he discovered it, to be honest, if he wasn't a father, he really wouldn't have discovered it.
The father and son often get together at night to drink and talk.
Ji Nanzheng's previous state has always been to drink moderately, speak moderately, and be energetic. But gradually, he found that Ji Nanzheng's eyes often began to wander while drinking and talking, and when he wandered, he would unconsciously drink one glass after another, and even smile inexplicably.
This was something the Duke had never discovered before.
When exactly did it start? The Duke later thought about it carefully and it seemed to be after he returned to his parents' home.
The Duke was young himself once, and he could tell at a glance that Ji Nanzheng had someone in his heart, and it was normal for men to be in love. But he didn't think that the person Ji Nanzheng was in love with was his newlywed wife. After all, if he was in love with her, how could he suppress his endless energy and let his wife stay alone in the empty room.
But later, one time, Ji Nanzheng got drunk and suddenly asked him, "Father, have you ever seen mother tie an apron?"
The sudden words confused the Duke's mind. Seeing that his cold-hearted son actually had a smile in his eyes, he felt that there was a story behind these words, so he went to find Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was not on guard against the Duke, and Ji Nanzheng did not ask him to keep it a secret, so he told the story that Ji Nanzheng went to Yijin Pavilion for dinner and Wan Zhou cooked personally.
So the Duke began to speculate.
But what puzzled the Duke was that if he really cared about it, why would he just ignore it? Not only did he not ask Gu Wanzhou to move back, he also did not go there himself.
It's very confusing.
So he didn't stop Mrs. Wang's arrangement.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have insisted on waiting for his son to come back. Thinking of this, he was also a little angry. Since he had fallen in love with someone else, why did he still behave like that?
No wonder Gu Wanzhou asked for a divorce, he deserved it.
The Duke looked at Mrs. Wang and knew that his wife was in trouble, so he took the initiative to assume responsibility.
"Nan Zheng, Gu has left."
"Has she moved back?" Although Ji Nanzheng asked this, his heart felt colder and colder.
The Duke of Guo: "..."
He must have heard it right. Didn't the Madam just say that Gu didn't want to move because she thought it was too troublesome?
A general who is a god of war would lose his brain if he doesn't fight.
When Ji Nanzheng saw that the Duke and Madam Wang were both silent and looked gloomy, he knew the answer in his mind.
He didn't ask any more questions and just turned around and left Linhui Hall.
Jiangnan was waiting outside the door with a sly look in his eyes. When he saw Ji Nanzheng coming out, he hurried to greet him.
"General, you are finally back."
Ji Nanzheng was filled with inexplicable anger. When he saw Jiangnan, he grabbed his collar and pushed him aside.
Jiangnan: "..."
When did the general become so violent? This was the first time in all the years of serving him. I felt trembling in my heart.
It’s over.
"Speak to me nicely!" Ji Nanzheng threw Jiangnan away and said in a cold voice.
Ji Nanzheng didn't pick a fight with Jiangnan for no reason, it was because he had told him when he left to send a pigeon message if there was anything.
As a result, Jiangnan did nothing about such a big thing as Gu Wanzhou's departure.
Who else can I vent my anger on if not him?
Jiangnan groaned inwardly.
He knew very well that this matter was a big deal to Ji Nanzheng, but when he found out, it was already the day Wan Zhou left, and even if he sent a message to Ji Nanzheng, he would not be able to keep him.
"General, I deserve to die." Jiangnan rarely saw Ji Nanzheng really lose his temper, and he was really scared at this moment.
"On the day the young lady left, I realized that sending you a message at that time would only cause you trouble, so I acted on my own initiative. Please punish me, General."
"General, I went to inquire about it two days ago. The young lady has already moved into the house bestowed by the emperor. It is only a two-cup-of-tea drive from the Duke's Mansion. I will take you there now." Jiangnan wanted to make amends.
"What house are you talking about?"
Jiangnan felt Ji Nanzheng's sharp gaze and trembled inexplicably.
"That..." Jiangnan tremblingly told the story of Wan Zhou leaving, opening a relief center, and going to the palace to ask for permission for a divorce.
After listening to this, Ji Nanzheng remained silent for a long time. Jiangnan, who was beside him, keenly felt the surging anger in his heart.
"General, are you going to look for the young lady?" Jiangnan asked weakly.
He thought that the general was angry simply because the young lady had left. So what if they divorced? The general could just go find the young lady and she would be fine.
Ji Nanzheng is indeed going.
He must ask clearly in person. Gu Wanzhou is going too far. He treats Ji Nanzheng like him. If he wants him, ask for marriage. If he doesn't want him anymore, ask for divorce?
This breath was beating in my heart so hard that it was particularly uncomfortable.
Ji Nanzheng returned to Zhuyunzhai and packed up a bit, then went to find Wan Zhou with an attitude of bringing charges against him.
"General, I will go and knock on the door."
As Jiangnan spoke, he jumped off the carriage and walked towards the gate.
"return."
Just as Jiangnan raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, Ji Nanzheng called him.
The divorce has already been decreed, and Gu Wanzhou is no longer his. What's the point in going in? Based on his understanding of Gu Wanzhou, he might not let him in at all.
Moreover, somehow, he was a great general and had seen countless big scenes, but at this moment, he felt a little timid.
"Turn around and enter the palace."
