Chapter 39 Doubt
Chapter 39 Doubt
The graceful and elegant old lady was Madam Wen from the Marquis of Xiangyang’s Mansion.
She shouldn't have believed such ridiculous words.
But for some reason, seeing the girl in front of her looking so determined, she blurted out, "Are you serious, girl? Gu Anze is really not my grandson?"
Before Xie Lan could speak, Gu Anze on the side looked angry and said, "Grandma, this bitch is talking nonsense, how can you believe her words!"
It was the first time that Old Madam Wen heard Gu Anze swearing, and her brows suddenly furrowed.
Although it was unexpected that her usually sensible grandson cursed in the street, Gu Anze's words brought Madam Wen back to her senses.
She sighed deeply in her heart, wondering why she was so confused.
Gu Anze is obviously her daughter's biological son, so how could she believe that girl's nonsense?
Thinking about the years her daughter had been crazy, Gu Anze had to endure other people's gossip at such a young age.
Although I felt sorry for him, I couldn't scold him for his inappropriate words.
Seeing others pointing fingers at her daughter, Old Madam Wen felt distressed and helpless, and naturally did not want to stay here any longer.
He signaled to the maidservants around him, "Send the eldest aunt to the carriage."
Wen had been struggling, and it was only after Old Madam Wen came that she was calmed down.
He had been dazed just now, but now he suddenly became excited, "Don't catch me, don't catch me, you are all bad people."
Madam Wen's maidservants didn't expect her to suddenly struggle, and they were unable to stop her, so Madam Wen rushed in front of Xie Lan.
She reached out and grabbed her arm, and shouted anxiously, "Nannan, there are bad guys, come with me quickly."
Old Madam Wen was heartbroken when she saw her originally well-behaved daughter become crazy.
She wanted to go forward to comfort him, but Wen yelled at her, "Go away, go away."
Mrs. Wen looked very excited, and Old Madam Wen was worried that getting any closer would irritate her.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, he could only quietly tell the maid beside him, "Go and take Jing'er to the carriage."
"Yes, ma'am."
This Nanny Zhu was Madam Wen's confidant. Because she was very strong and had watched Wen Yajing grow up since she was a child, Madam Wen trusted her very much and wanted her to take her daughter on the carriage.
But Wen didn't let her get close either.
Gu Anze was pointed at and criticized, and his eyes were full of disgust. However, he didn't dare to say anything because of Madam Wen.
He only whispered to the maids and servants around him, "Hurry up and drag her into the car."
Ever since her daughter went crazy, Old Madam Wen felt guilty towards the Prince of Yongding. Seeing the maids and servants around Gu Anze surrounding her daughter, she didn't say much.
Wen's expression became more and more uneasy. She was obviously panicking, but she spread her arms to block Xie Lan, "Don't grab my daughter."
"Nannan, there are bad guys, leave quickly."
Xie Lan sighed, reached out and patted her arm, "Don't be afraid, they can't catch me."
Wen turned around and looked at her blankly. Then she turned back and stubbornly stopped the maids and servants, "Get out of here! Don't arrest my daughter."
Nanny Feng had long since had enough of serving such a crazy woman.
With a sullen face, he reached out and grabbed her arm.
Xie Lan's expression turned cold, and he raised his hand and slapped her arm hard.
Nanny Feng was in pain and yelled at her fiercely, "You are defending a crazy woman. Are you trying to attract the attention of our prince and seduce him?"
Seeing her daughter being scolded by someone, Madam Wen was furious and shouted, "Madam Feng, who gave you the courage to insult my daughter?"
Nanny Feng had forgotten about Madam Wen in her haste just now, and now she came to her senses, "Please forgive me, Madam. I was just worried about the Crown Prince's wife, and I said the wrong thing in a hurry."
Although Nanny Feng's attitude seemed respectful, her expression actually revealed disapproval.
Wen had been crazy for several years, and she was not wrong to scold him.
Madam Wen was angry and wanted to punish Nanny Feng, but she was worried that she would bully her daughter in private. However, Xie Lan had no scruples, "Hammer, slap her face."
Before Nanny Feng could react, she was slapped in the face.
She glared at Xie Lan with eyes as if she wanted to eat someone.
Xie Lan glared at her coldly, "Who the hell is your young master? Is he worthy of being seduced by me?
I'm giving you a slap in the face so that you'll remember that your mouth is for eating, not for spewing shit."
"you……"
Just as Nanny Feng was about to speak, she felt a pain on her right cheek and was slapped again.
"This slap is a reward from Madam Wen for you, a wicked slave who bullies his master."
The first reason was fine, but when she heard that the slave was bullying the master, Mrs. Wen, who had always been worried about her daughter, stared at her, "What do you mean, young lady?"
Seeing Xie Lan was about to speak, Nanny Feng stared at her with a look as if filled with poison.
"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to slander me like this?
Ever since my wife became mentally ill, I have been taking good care of her. What is your intention in slandering her?"
Xie Lan sneered and pulled up the sleeve of Madam Wen's arm. "Is this your meticulous care?"
Seeing her daughter's arms covered in bruises, old lady Wen felt distressed and angry, "Madam Feng, how dare you bully my Jing'er in private?"
Nanny Feng dodged her gaze, then blinked and returned to normal.
"Madam, this has nothing to do with me. Everyone knows that the Crown Prince's wife is crazy. These scars were caused by her, not by me.
If the old lady doesn't believe it, she can ask the young master."
The old lady was originally very annoyed with Nanny Feng, but seeing that she did not look guilty, she turned around and asked Gu Anze.
"Ze'er, did your mother really hurt herself?"
Gu Anze suppressed his impatience and nodded, "Grandma, Aunt Feng is right. Ever since Mother went crazy, she has always injured herself all over."
It would have been fine if Nanny Feng had just called her daughter crazy, but the old lady was also angry and heartbroken when she saw Gu Anze saying in front of everyone on the street that his mother was crazy and turning a blind eye to the injuries on her body.
Originally, after hearing what Gu Anze said, Madam Wen should have felt relieved. But for some reason, she suddenly became suspicious for the first time.
Can my grandson's words really be trusted?
Madam Wen had concerns, but Xie Lan did not.
"Madam Wen, your daughter is not crazy, and Gu Anze is definitely not her son."
Old Madam Wen didn't know what was wrong with her today. She knew clearly that the girl's words were not credible, but she couldn't help but follow her words.
"Girl... Is my daughter really not crazy? Gu Anze is not my grandson, so whose child is he?"
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Ping, the son of the Yongding Earl, hurriedly squeezed in from outside the crowd with a frown on his face.
"Mother-in-law, although Yajing is crazy, Zege'er is indeed the child of Yajing and me. How could you just listen to other people's nonsense?
If Yajing knew that you suspected Zege'er, she would be so sad. "
Seeing Madam Wen's guilty expression, Gu Ping turned around and glared at Xie Lan coldly.
"My lady, I don't care what your intentions are. If you dare to throw dirty water on our Yongding Marquis' Mansion again, I will report you to the authorities and send you to jail."
Xie Lan withdrew his gaze from his face and said calmly, "The prince of Yongding wants to report to the authorities? What a coincidence, I have the same idea."
Seeing that Gu Ping looked somewhat surprised and doubtful, Old Madam Wen felt suspicious. Why did she feel that the girl was hiding something from her words?
Her son-in-law...seems uneasy?
