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

"I thought this was how the Jiang family behaved."

Jiang Momo instinctively covered her face, the burning pain drilling straight into her heart.

She bit her lower lip, then subconsciously looked up sharply, her dark eyes flashing with coldness.

When Gu Lanzhi met her gaze, which was pressing down on her, she suddenly felt a tremor in her heart.

Before this, Gu Lanzhi had always seen Jiang Momo as a daughter-in-law who needed to be trained, but only today did she realize the hidden sharpness within the woman.

This daughter-in-law doesn't seem to be the same as she imagined.

As the matriarch of the Li family and the biological mother of the person in charge, Gu Lanzhi naturally wouldn't be afraid of Jiang Momo, this young girl.

Right now, I just feel like I've been provoked.

"Jiang Weiwei, is this your rule?"

Her voice was icy: "Do you know that at yesterday's banquet, you disgraced the entire Li family?"

"If those rumors spread and damage the family's reputation, you will be held responsible even if you die a thousand deaths."

As Gu Lanzhi's words pierced Jiang Momo's heart one by one, they were like a dull knife, slowly cutting open the most vulnerable part of her heart.

The pent-up frustration of the past few days was about to explode.

She couldn't take it anymore.

"mom."

Jiang Momo lowered her voice, lifted the hair that Gu Lanzhi had just messed up, and looked straight at Gu Lanzhi.

"I respect you as Ninth Master's mother, but that doesn't mean you can humiliate me like this."

"Everyone in the room saw clearly what happened yesterday. The other party mistook me for someone else and slandered me first."

"If you insist on pinning the blame on me, can I accuse you of settling a personal score?"

Last time, Jiang Momo left early for her grandmother's sake, and Gu Lanzhi probably felt that she had offended her, which is why she resorted to this tactic today.

Li Jiuyuan doesn't often return to the old house. Because of her status as Li Jiuyuan's mother, she is now the most powerful person in charge of the old house.

How could she allow Jiang Momo to offend her dignity?

Gu Lanzhi sneered: "If you were truly innocent, why would they come knocking on your door?"

"Besides, with that foxy face, who knows if you've actually done the things she mentioned."

Faced with Gu Lanzhi's repeated insults, Jiang Momo could no longer endure it and retorted with a sharp retort.

"So this is how the Li family teaches people to slander others."

These words completely enraged Gu Lanzhi, who immediately roared, "You dare talk back?"

Jiang Momo remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"I learned all of this from you, Mom."

Gu Lanzhi was furious, but even at this point, she still wanted to maintain her authority as the person in charge.

"Steward Li, bring the family rules over here. Today I'm going to teach this new daughter-in-law a lesson."

Footsteps immediately sounded outside, and Jiang Momo realized that someone outside had been listening to everything that had just happened inside.

Most of the servants in the villa witnessed her predicament.

"You shameful thing, if we don't set rules for you, you'll definitely cause a disaster for Jiuyuan one day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Li came in with a box.

She presented it respectfully to Gu Lanzhi, opened the box, and saw a thorny vine whip lying inside.

"Hold her down."

At Gu Lanzhi's command, Butler Li led his men to surround Jiang Momo, attempting to pin her to the spot.

Although Jiang Momo was petite, she was full of energy. After all, she had done the most hard and tiring work since she was a child, and had long since developed a lot of strength.

For a time, the two servants really couldn't do anything about her.

"This is vigilante justice!"

Jiang Momo retorted loudly and broke free from the person beside her.

However, there were simply too many servants in the villa, and soon other people were being brought over.

Two fists can't fight four hands, and Jiang Momo ultimately couldn't escape.

Gu Lanzhi stepped forward and slapped him again.

"In the old house, my word is law."

"Today I'm teaching my daughter-in-law that even if the ancestors of the Li family came, they wouldn't have anything to say."

That slap was even harder than the one before, and blood even seeped from the corner of Jiang Momo's lips.

Gu Lanzhi raised her hand, and the whip fell into her palm.

The long whip was raised, making a terrifying sound in the air.

Jiang Momo was unwilling to be humiliated like this and wanted to continue struggling, but she was helpless.

Just as the whip was about to strike her shoulder, at the critical moment, the door was kicked open.

A biting cold wind followed the people who came in and poured inside.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Momo couldn't help but burst into tears.

The servant beside him was very perceptive; it seemed that this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

They retreated at lightning speed, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Lanzhi's expression changed in an instant.

She smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was just chatting with Weiwei. She was curious about the family traditions and rules of the Li family, so I brought out the family rules for her to see."

"Yeah?"

Li Jiuyuan's voice was cold, and tinged with anger.

He quickly walked up to Jiang Momo and pulled her into his arms.

Is what my mom said true?

Jiang Momo felt the man's warm embrace, and her eyes became even more moist.

The next second, he saw Gu Lanzhi's slightly threatening gaze.

Jiang Momo really wanted to tell the truth, but she suddenly realized that what would be the point of telling it?

Will Li Jiuyuan really stand on my side?

Gu Lanzhi is his biological mother.

Thinking of this, Jiang Momo swallowed her grievances again.

Rather than risk causing more trouble and being labeled as a troublemaker between mother and son, she chose to remain silent.

"Mom is right."

Gu Lanzhi withdrew her gaze, seemingly quite pleased with her tact.

It also seems like a sign of satisfaction with the results of one's training.

"real?"

Li Jiuyuan lowered his voice and asked another question.

Jiang Momo smiled, tilted her head back, and nodded her chin.

"Really, Mom is very good to me."

After she finished speaking, Li Jiuyuan felt an even deeper chill and turned to leave.

But after taking just one step, he turned back and grabbed Jiang Momo's wrist.

"In that case, you can learn whenever you want. Come with me."

Jiang Momo could only be dragged and pulled away by him.

The red marks on her face hadn't faded yet, and Jiang Momo was sure Li Jiuyuan could tell, but since he didn't want to mention it, he probably didn't want to back her up.

Luckily I didn't say anything, otherwise there would definitely have been even bigger trouble.

Li Jiuyuan tightened his grip on her hand, until finally, it even became a little painful.

Jiang Momo couldn't take it anymore and tried to break free.

"Ninth Master, you're hurting me!"

Li Jiuyuan didn't speak until he pulled the person to the garden before letting go.

But he was too strong; even with just the movement of letting go, Jiang Momo was propelled several steps forward.

Jiang Momo finally managed to steady herself and turned to face Li Jiuyuan's extremely ugly expression.

"Ninth Master..."

Li Jiuyuan's voice was deep, and his dark eyes gleamed with a cold light.

"I'll ask you one last time, is there anything you want to say to me?"
