Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Infighting Within the Du Family

Just as Gong Fangyue was about to throw a few more taunts, unexpectedly, Du Shujian turned around and gave her a slap: ”Bitch.”

Gong Fangyue exclaimed ’Ah’ and covered her face with her hand: ”Du Shujian, you dare hit me?”

Du Shujian didn’t even glance at her and raised his foot to leave.

Ever since her family lost power, she hadn’t had a single good day after marrying into the Du Family. Besides facing Du Shujian’s emotional coldness, she also had to deal with verbal attacks from her mother-in-law Zhang Xiaolu, along with ridicule and sarcasm from other Du Family members.

From then on, she fought poison with poison, an eye for an eye, becoming completely incompatible with the Du Family. If it weren’t for the Du Family wanting to save face, they’d have pushed her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for divorce long ago.

Now, having nothing left, how could she let the Du Family have it easy? She was determined to fight the Du Family tooth and nail.

This slap today, she will definitely demand back a hundredfold, a thousandfold, Du Shujian, just you wait.

Turning around to look in the direction where Huo Jiayuan had just disappeared, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She had initially snatched Du Shujian away with pride, but now it seemed she was just a petty clown.

After the Gong Family’s incident, she secretly sought help from many people, and it was only recently that she found out their Gong Family might have been shielding someone else from disaster, as for who was behind it...

Retracting her gaze, she turned towards the Du Family.

If she can’t have it good, how can she let the Du Family be peaceful?

Meanwhile, at the Du Family, Zhang Xiaolu watched her son, who hadn’t said a word since coming home with a sullen face, and felt worried: ”Son, what’s wrong with you?”

Du Shujian didn’t even lift his eyelids.

Zhang Xiaolu was both angry and anxious, angry that her son hadn’t spoken to her since she forced him to marry Gong Fangyue, worried about whether he encountered something outside.

She was about to lose her temper when she heard someone push open the front door.

Turning around, she saw Gong Fangyue walk in with a scowl on her face, and instantly found a target for her outrage: ”Gong Fangyue, who are you scowling at?

It’s really rotten luck to see you every day.”

Gong Fangyue didn’t indulge her: ”You weren’t so mean before, now you think I’m bad luck, too late.”

Zhang Xiaolu was shivering with anger: ”Get out.”

Seeing her riled up, Gong Fangyue smiled slyly: ”You begged for me with your dignity, and now you want me gone, wishful thinking.”

There’s a saying that it’s easy to invite the gods, but hard to send them away. Even if Gong Fangyue leaves, she’ll make sure to peel a layer off the Du Family.

Zhang Xiaolu looked at her increasingly arrogant daughter-in-law, and sat angrily on the sofa, patting her leg: ”What did I do wrong to marry into such a troublemaker?”

Fetching water, Gong Fangyue mocked: ”Your memory really can’t be admired, forgetting so quickly how you used to curry favor with the Gong Family?”

These words made Zhang Xiaolu tremble with rage.

Sitting opposite without speaking, Du Shujian suddenly shouted coldly: ”Enough.”

Gong Fangyue gave a cold ’hmph’, and took the enamel basin into the kitchen.

Now Zhang Xiaolu deeply regretted it, she not only ruined her son, but also destroyed this family.

Previously, Du Chuanqin, although he didn’t care for him much, as long as he wasn’t on a business trip, he would still return home on time. But ever since Gong Fangyue entered the house, the timings became later each day and he was frequently out.

She wasn’t without complaints, but now Du Chuanqin was like an indifferent pig, saying: If you can’t stand it, divorce.

She was extremely frustrated, yet didn’t dare to argue.

Afraid Du Chuanqin would ignore everything and really divorce her, she’d be the laughingstock.

She absolutely couldn’t let that happen.
