Thirty-Nine Degrees of Chill

  Wang Tingran had never hated Gu Boqi so much, it turned out that year after year, he had chosen a lifelong burden for himself that he couldn't shake off.

  He stood still, feeling utterly defeated, as if every finger was exhausted.

  Gu Boqi was indeed anxious, he hastily ran over to check, while shouting at Meng Yu and Yue Tong who had just followed in and were standing stupidly on the side: "Don't you hurry up and help your wives back to their rooms!"

  "Don't help!" Mrs. Gu suddenly shouted in a deep voice, while glancing around at the faces of the crowd, and slightly raised the corner of her mouth: "Anyway, the Wang family is powerful, looking down on our Hou Mansion, and also looking down on Er Ye as a son-in-law. Now that things have come to this point, why don't we just ask Master Wang to take her back to the Wang residence? This daughter-in-law, we can't keep!"

  The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyebrows slightly raised, and the whole person exuded a fierce aura.

  Just awakened Wang heard this sentence, suddenly five internal injuries, she only felt her heart was throbbing with pain, so painful that she couldn't say a word.

  Never had she hated the old woman's cruel face before her, never had she hated Gao Qi's infidelity and selfishness so much. She hated!

  At the thought of Gu Man, who was only eight years old and always anxious with a heavy heart, and Gu Zhao, who was older but never spoke carelessly and was always cautious in his words and actions, she suddenly felt a surge of hatred rising from the bottom of her heart. The hatred grew more and more intense, almost to the point where she couldn't bear it and wanted to jump up and scratch these people's faces.

  Wang Tingran was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting, this old woman was threatening him! She had figured out that the Wang family wouldn't let their two children go with her, and she had also calculated that Gu Boqi would definitely side with the Wang family, and everything else was inferior to the Wang family's sister.

  He suddenly felt very weak, and no matter how hard he tried to hold back his temper and make amends with the Hou family, Wang would never be able to live the life she and her father had hoped for.

  Gu Yun, however, was different from her siblings. At this moment, she felt pleased and looked at Wang Shi with a mixture of pity and disdain, sympathizing with her for having such a selfish, incompetent, and weak husband, and encountering such a harsh and unreasonable mother-in-law, yet still maintaining a soft and delicate appearance.

  Wang didn't speak, but this time it wasn't because Gu Bo was being courteous - Gu Bo didn't have the heart to care about her either. She saw clearly that his eyes and mind were all stuck on that beautiful young woman's face. But so what? she thought, what's the point of being husband and wife, loving each other without a doubt, sleeping together on the same pillow, it was all meaningless now.

  In the past, she could still deceive herself that at least she was his only wife. Now, however, she couldn't even be the only one in this position as a wife. Soon, there would be a beautiful young woman who would share the same status as her. She hated it and felt ashamed, but she just couldn't bear to be really dismissed by the Hou family like this.

  If it's really because she had no children and was divorced, what about her sons Guo Zhao and Guo Man?

  Just like little Gu Man with a nervous face said to her: "The new wife is not our own mother, she will beat and scold us, she will torment us."

  She wouldn't leave her own child alone in a wolf's den, absolutely not.

  What's more, if he is given such a bad name and divorced, how can Gu Shao and Gu Man take care of themselves in the future? What good end can they have in the future?

  She suddenly understood all of this and stood up, pulling on Wang Tingran's sleeve. Her eyes were cold and distant as she looked at Old Lady Gu: "Very well, since you've said so, brother, you can go to the yamen tomorrow and file a complaint. Tell Gu Boqi to divorce his wife and remarry!"

  Everyone's expression was different, Mrs. Guo's mouth corners were twitching, while Gu Yun and Gu Bo were both stunned, looking at her with eyes that seemed to be looking at a stranger.

  But Wang's astonishing words didn't stop there, she hooked the corner of her mouth and drew out a cold smile, looking at Old Lady Gu: "Also, brother, trouble you to tell Liu Qi Ba that from now on, our Wang family will have nothing to do with the Lu family!"

  The meaning of this sentence is very clear, as long as she Wang Shi is no longer a member of the Hou Mansion, it's only natural that all previous pleas to Liu Qi Ba will be invalidated. Liu Qi Ba can deal with Lu Mo Zhi however he wants, and they, the Wang family, won't say another word for him!

  The old lady's cane was almost slipping out of her grasp, she hadn't expected this usually gentle daughter-in-law to say such a resolute thing, it made her feel like something had slipped out of her control and couldn't be grasped again, she started to feel a little afraid, what if...

  But the words have already been spoken, can they be taken back? For a moment, she felt dizzy and stood still, not knowing what to do next.

  It was Wang Tingran who listened with great pleasure, looking at the warm and pitiful eyes of the Wang family, he supported the nearby Wang family and said softly: "Good! Brother knows everything. Don't worry, Zhao'er is now very good in our place, we will take Aman back now! Never come to this place again!"

  Mrs. Gu has already lost her usual composure - Wang Tingran is not a good person to deal with, what he says, he will definitely do.

  She pulled a face and said coldly as Wang Tingran was about to step out the door: "It's only right that she follows you, but Zhao'er and A'man are my family's people, I won't let you take them away!"

  "Mother!" Gu Yun cried out in a sharp voice, her face twisted in defeat, as she flung herself to the ground at her feet: "Mother must think for her daughter!"

  Chen Hanlin, who was imprisoned a few days ago, had his body dragged to the pauper's cemetery yesterday, without even being given a sheet. The crime was merely fabricated, she was really afraid, afraid of death at the hands of this ruthless and cruel eunuch.

  Old Mrs. Gu was annoyed that she wouldn't know when to stop, and just as they were in a precarious situation, a small figure suddenly ran over from the corner, swift as the wind - it was Gu Man.

  Gu Manlan didn't even glance at the crowd, and directly threw herself onto Wang's body, wailing loudly: "Mother!" Apart from this, she couldn't say another word.

  In his previous life, he had already brought back a new wife, who was none other than Liu Liuniang. It wasn't until this life that she realized all the tragedies originated from here.

  She hugged Wang Shi tightly, her heart was tangled, she wanted Wang Shi to leave, leaving this wolf's den was absolutely a good thing.

  However, if they were to leave, Madame Wang would only be able to accompany the green lamp and ancient Buddha in the future. The Hou Mansion would never allow her to follow Madame Wang with Gu Shi. They are daughters of the Gu family, and even in death, they can only die at home. After that, they will have to separate from Madame Wang forever...

  "Are you so heartless? Abandoning both Zhao Er and A Man?" Just as everyone was entangled in silence, Gu Boqi finally spoke up.
