After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 182 Are You Ordering Me?

Jiang Xiyu raised an eyebrow, walked up to Zhou Lai, and stared at him without blinking. "How did you marry Xu Rong? You don't forget it, do you?"

Zhou Lai suddenly remembered Jiang Xiyu hitting his crotch and Xu Rui trying to kill him, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Thinking of the advice Jiang Xiyu had given him before, which saved his life, Zhou Lai's momentum weakened. But thinking of Xu Rong, he had to refuse Jiang Xiyu again, "Xu Rong is already the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she can't return home."

Jiang Xiyu snorted coldly, "I don't remember that according to our Yun Dynasty law, a married woman cannot return home."

Zhou Lai was very scared of Jiang Xiyu and didn't know how to refute her for a moment.

Zhou was not so easy to deal with. She immediately shouted angrily, "Your Jiang family is also a famous family. You should understand the principle that women should obey their husbands after marriage."

Jiang Xiyu was so angry at Zhou's unreasonable words that she laughed. "Even if she is supposed to obey her husband after marriage, there is no reason not to let her return home. Counting the days, Xu Rong and Zhou Lai have been married for more than a month. Most people return home three days after marriage. It's been a month, and they still don't allow her to return home. The Zhou family is going too far."

Jiang Xiyu's suspicious look made Zhou feel a little guilty. She stiffened her neck and said, "There's nothing special about this. Why would you go back for no reason?"

"It's etiquette for a woman to return to her parents' home three days after getting married. Your Zhou family has not allowed Xu Rong to return to her parents' home, and you have also stopped my mother from seeing Xu Rong. Could it be that Xu Rong has been killed by you?" Jiang Xiyu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Zhou and Zhou Lai's expressions changed slightly at the same time.

Zheng was horrified and immediately pointed at Zhou and shouted, "Zhou, did you really kill my daughter?"

Except for Zhou Lai, everyone looked at Zhou suspiciously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I kill Xu Rong?" After glaring at Zheng, Zhou pointed at Jiang Xiyu angrily, "Jiang Xiyu, stop slandering me. I didn't kill Xu Rong."

Jiang Xiyu stepped in front of Zhou and stared at her with a sharp gaze. "Since she is still alive, let her go back with us."

Zhou turned her eyes away, not daring to look Jiang Xiyu in the eye. "She is my Zhou family's wife, why should she go back with you?"

Seeing that she was still so determined, Jiang Xiyu compromised and changed her request, "It's okay if she doesn't go back with us, just let her come out and see us."

"She..." Zhou didn't even think about it and almost opened her mouth to refuse.

Jiang Xiyu saw through her thoughts and interrupted her coldly, "Madam Zhou, if you refuse even something like this when your family comes to visit, I really have reason to suspect that the daughter of our Yonglin Marquis's family has died in your Zhou family."

Zheng was already extremely anxious, and after hearing what Jiang Xiyu said, she became even more anxious. "Zhou, you bitch, how dare you harm our Rong'er? I will fight you to the death."

Zheng rushed forward and tried to hit Zhou, regardless of his injured leg.

But she was no match for Zhou, and was grabbed by her hand.

"You're a cripple, and you dare to hit me."

Zhou didn't take Zheng seriously at all and raised her hand to slap her in the face.

Before Zhou's slap could land on Zheng's face, Jiang Xiyu shouted again, "I advise Madam Zhou to think carefully before you act. Mother is, after all, your elder sister, and the old lady of our Yonglin Marquisate. My husband not only holds the title of Marquis of Yonglin, but also has military power. Do you have the right to slap me? Think carefully."

Jiang Xiyu was dressed differently today, and even her aura was no longer as timid as before. Instead, she looked down on people from a superior position. Zhou was shocked.

In the end, Zhou's slap didn't land on Zhengzheng's face, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "I'm telling you, don't use Xu Rui to pressure us. If you really could suppress him, Xu Rong wouldn't be in our Zhou family now."

Jiang Xiyu looked at her nonchalantly with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Zhou, I'm afraid you haven't figured it out yet. The reason Xu Rong is in your Zhou family is because our Marquis is thinking of the relationship between our two families and is thinking of your Zhou family's well-being. If our Marquis doesn't want to, do you think Xu Rong would be in your family?"

Zhou's expression changed slightly after hearing Jiang Xiyu's meaningful words.

Jiang Xiyu was very satisfied and didn't want to bother with them anymore.

"We are here today to pick up Xu Rong. Since she is unable to come out to meet us, we can give you a day to prepare. If we don't see Xu Rong return home by noon tomorrow, we will have no choice but to bring people from Shuntian Prefecture to her home to retrieve her."

After saying that, Jiang Xiyu simply flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.

Zheng thought Jiang Xiyu didn't want her to see Xu Rong and that she was just pretending. She got anxious and shouted, "No, no matter what, I have to see Rong'er today."

Jiang Xiyu turned around and glanced at Zheng calmly, "If mother wants to wait at the Zhou family, it's not impossible. After all, you are Madam Zhou's elder sister and Mr. Zhou's mother-in-law. I believe the Zhou family will treat you warmly."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

"Jiang Xiyu..."

Zheng's face turned pale at her words. She glared at Zhou fiercely and scolded the maid beside her, "What are you still standing there for? Help me out."

The old woman hurriedly helped Zheng out.

When she went out, Jiang Xiyu's carriage was still outside, so she came to Jiang Xiyu's carriage.

"Jiang Xiyu, did you do this on purpose? Why didn't you just ask them to call Rong'er out directly?"

Jiang Xiyu lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at Zheng speechlessly, "You didn't hear what the Zhou family said in the main hall just now? Did I stop them from handing it over? They just didn't want to hand it over at all."

Zheng glared angrily, "You can't just leave like that. I won't go back until I see Rong'er today."

"Mother, you can wait. I'll go back first." Jiang Xiyu didn't bother to care about Zheng. She turned to the coachman and said, "Go back to the mansion."

"Wait." Zheng said anxiously, "You can't go back. You must come with me and make them hand over Rong'er before we can leave."

Jiang Xiyu sneered, "Mother, you are ordering me."

Zheng was a little frightened by Jiang Xiyu's sudden sharp gaze.

Thinking that Jiang Xiyu is no longer the woman who allowed herself to be controlled by her, and now to rescue Xu Rong, she still has to rely on Jiang Xiyu, so she cannot offend her for the time being.

Zheng softened her voice, "I'm just worried about Rong'er. They've been making excuses all day long. Something must have happened to Rong'er, so I must see her today."

"Don't worry, I was just trying to scare them. Xu Rong is not dead."

Jiang Xiyu's words made Zheng feel like she had grabbed the last straw. "Are you sure?"

Jiang Xiyu nodded firmly, "I am absolutely certain that as long as the Marquis is still alive, Xu Rong will not die."

At the beginning, Zhou Lai married Xu Rong in order to save his life. It can be said that Xu Rong was Zhou Lai's life-saving talisman.

With Xu Rong in his hands, Xu Rui would not take his life.
