Newlyweds got the wrong marriage certificate, and his sweet, delicate wife is experiencing morning s

It's over.

These two words flashed through Jiang Momo's mind. Thinking of what Gu Lanzhi had done before, she could even see a hint of murderous intent in Gu Lanzhi's eyes.

She steadied herself, slowed her pace, and obediently walked up to Gu Lanzhi.

He called out "Mom".

Gu Lanzhi glanced at her, then turned her head away without saying a word.

Following behind her was her housekeeper, Li, who usually accompanied Gu Lanzhi in handling household affairs.

The other person spoke up with a stern face to remind Jiang Momo.

"Young Madam, the old master and madam both prefer quiet, and running around in the villa is strictly forbidden."

Jiang Momo lowered her head guiltily.

She hadn't expected to sleep so soundly, and she was completely unaware of any custom of serving morning tea at the villa.

And why didn't Li Jiuyuan remind me when he went out!

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Jiang Momo honestly admitted her mistake and wanted to get over the matter as soon as possible.

Gu Lanzhi seemed genuinely unconcerned.

"You're young, and you two are newlyweds, so it's understandable that you sometimes sleep in."

After hearing these words, Jiang Momo felt even more hopeless.

She didn't think Gu Lanzhi was being considerate of her, but she didn't have time to think about it, as Gu Lanzhi was already leading her to the old lady's room.

The old lady's room was on the second floor. Unlike the reception room she had visited yesterday, there was a fragrant tea room outside the bedroom.

The sound of running water could be heard inside. The other person had just gotten up, and through the screen, Jiang Momo could see two servants helping the old lady walk out.

The old lady looked rosier than yesterday, and when she saw Jiang Momo there, she waved to her.

"Weiwei, come here."

Jiang Momo glanced at Gu Lanzhi, who didn't say anything. So Jiang Momo obediently walked over quickly. The old lady gestured for the people on the right to step back first, and let Jiang Momo stand beside her.

"Getting up so early, it must be hard on you."

"I had already told Jiu Yuan's mother that I didn't need to wake you and that you could sleep a little longer."

Gu Lanzhi sat down and began to make tea for the old lady, casually adding, "Mom, we can't break the rules."

"It's because you love sticking to these rigid rules," the old lady teased with a smile, and Gu Lanzhi's expression truly darkened.

He handed the warmed tea to the old lady.

The old lady didn't drink, and Jiang Momo nodded repeatedly beside her.

Exactly, what's the point of following these rigid rules? Last time she offered incense and this time she offered tea; anyone who didn't know better would really think she was acting out some kind of feudal dynasty drama.

The old lady held Jiang Momo's hand tightly, her face full of curiosity.

"My dear child, how did you sleep last night? Are you settling in comfortably?"

"That's great, thank you for your trouble, Grandma."

Jiang Momo hadn't noticed anything amiss when the old lady continued, "I mean, do you like the clothes I had prepared for you?"

Jiang Momo was taken aback.

Instantly, it was as if I could see the scene from yesterday again.

Those colorful fabrics, which couldn't even be called clothes, began to dart in front of her, and Jiang Momo's ears turned red.

"grandmother."

She was extremely embarrassed, but the old lady guessed a lot, and finally smiled broadly.

"Okay, okay, Grandma won't ask anymore."

The old man stroked Jiang Momo's hand and said, "Since you're here today, there's something I didn't have a chance to tell you yesterday."

"What is it?"

Jiang Momo instinctively thought it was something important and immediately became serious.

The old lady's gaze fell on her stomach.

"Jiuyuan is not young anymore. Now that you two are married, you should have a child soon."

Jiang Momo wished she could just disappear into the ground.

Why is it that whenever Old Master Li and Old Madam Li see her, they always bring up this topic?

She finally understood why the old lady had prepared those clothes for her.

"I...I understand."

The old lady's coercion was not like that of the Jiang family couple, who threatened her with the lives of her closest relatives, but Jiang Momo still couldn't directly refuse.

I had no choice but to agree for now.

Unexpectedly, the old lady continued to press for answers.

"So when are you planning to get pregnant? Let me tell you, young people who want to get pregnant have to give up staying up late. I'll have that kid come back earlier too."

Although the old lady was quite old, she was clearly not conservative at all. Jiang Momo was afraid that she would continue talking and try to impart some experience to her, so she quickly interrupted her.

"Let's talk about it when Ninth Master comes back."

This incident reminded the old lady, and every wrinkle on her face seemed to reveal her dissatisfaction: "Where did that boy go?"

"Something came up at the company, I'll be back in a bit."

After Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, she gestured to the housekeeper to place the tea set in front of Jiang Momo.

"Let's serve tea to the old lady."

Jiang Momo felt as if she had been granted a pardon and readily took the teacup.

She had just seen Gu Lanzhi pour tea; it wasn't just a casual pour, but rather a process of rinsing and dividing the tea before finally placing it in front of the old lady.

It seems this is a test for her.

Jiang Momo was not afraid at all. Before going to the club to work as a citrus tester, Jiang Momo had worked part-time in many places and had learned these skills.

She completed the entire process efficiently, which made the old lady like her even more.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to reach the final step, Jiang Momo touched a hot tea set, and accidentally dropped the cup from her hand.

It almost hit the old lady.

She reacted quickly, using her hand to block the teacup, but still managed to take the scalding hot tea.

"hiss……"

Jiang Momo bit her lower lip, not daring to make a sound, and looked up to see Gu Lanzhi's indifferent gaze.

It seems that this matter has nothing to do with her.

The old lady was heartbroken.

"How is it? What are you standing there for? Go and call a doctor for the young mistress."

"It's alright, Grandma, no need."

Fortunately, the tea wasn't too hot, and her hands were only slightly red. Jiang Momo got up to rinse them with water, and Gu Lanzhi stood up as well.

"Mom, I'm taking Weiwei to get her medicine applied."

After she finished speaking, she gestured for Jiang Momo to follow her.

Although Jiang Momo didn't understand what Gu Lanzhi wanted to do, she still followed her in the end.

Gu Lanzhi didn't take her to the living room to bandage her wounds, nor did she ask anyone to call a family doctor for her. Instead, she led Jiang Momo into another room.

Gu Lanzhi stood with her back to the light in front of the room's huge floor-to-ceiling window.

"Close the door."

Jiang Momo clenched her fists, as if she already knew what Gu Lanzhi was going to do next.

She turned around and heard Gu Lanzhi's voice beside her, which she detected a hint of mockery.

"I noticed you were very skilled at pouring tea; did you learn it before?"

Jiang Momo answered each question in turn.

"My parents taught me that in this world, one must know the rules and etiquette."

Gu Lanzhi suddenly let out a cold laugh.

By the time Jiang Momo turned around, Gu Lanzhi had already walked over and almost forced her back.

"mom……"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Lanzhi raised her hand and slapped Jiang Momo across the face.

The crisp sound echoed in the room. She was hit so hard that her face turned to the side, and she lost her balance, her slender body swaying in place.

"Since you know the rules so well, were you deliberately trying to embarrass yourself at the banquet yesterday?"
