“I want to go to the Han family!”

In a simple, dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city, Gu Nian'an stared at the two carriages parked outside and spoke eagerly.

Gu Suining, who was standing aside, came back to his senses from his surprise. After hearing this choice which was completely opposite to his previous life, he immediately realized that Gu Nian'an was also reborn.

Gu Nian'an is her stepsister. In her previous life, her father was sentenced to death for embezzling disaster relief funds, and Gu Nian'an's mother died suddenly from anger. Although she and Gu Nian'an were not implicated because of her father's past achievements, the Gu family was confiscated by the court.

They were homeless, and more than half a month later, when they followed their wet nurse to a dilapidated temple, they met two old friends of their father, Jiang Zhitong and Han Mingzhang.

She didn't know how her father did it, but before he died, he sent letters to the Jiang and Han families, hoping that they would take her and Gu Nian'an in because of their past friendship. If possible, they should not let anyone know their identities as the daughters of a criminal so that they could live the rest of their lives in peace.

Jiang and Han are both doing business in the Imperial City now. After receiving the news, they immediately started looking for her and Gu Nian'an, and they agreed in advance that each family would adopt one child and announce to the outside world that this was their daughter who was sent to the countryside to recuperate in her early years. Anyway, they moved to the Imperial City later, and some details were unknown to others. In addition, she and Gu Nian'an were both born in Yangzhou and had never been to the Imperial City, so it was not difficult to conceal it.

In the previous life, after learning that the Jiang family was a famous wealthy family in the imperial city with immense wealth, and that although the Han family was also a business family, their family background and assets were far inferior to those of the Jiang family, Gu Nian'an chose the Jiang family without hesitation.

Because of their old friendship, the Jiang family treated Gu Nian'an very well, and she indeed lived a good life for a while. But who would have thought that not long after, the Jiang family went bankrupt, and life took a sharp turn for the worse. In the end, the whole family had to leave the imperial city and return to their hometown.

However, relying on the old house and some savings, the Jiang family could still make ends meet, at least they would not lack food and clothing. But perhaps because Gu Nian'an was too obsessed with a good life of luxury, she started to act up and blamed everything on the Jiang family, gradually chilling their hearts.

But despite this, the Jiang family still picked a pretty good marriage for Gu Nian'an. The man was a scholar with great talent. Many people thought that he would have a good chance of being on the imperial examination in the future, but his family was just average. Gu Nian'an disagreed and made a scene, but she couldn't find anyone better, so she got married anyway.

But not long after getting married, she hooked up with a wealthy businessman. She believed his sweet words and eloped with all the savings of her husband's family. As a result, not only was she cheated of her money, but the other party also sold Gu Nian'an to a brothel, causing her to suffer a lot.

Of course, she didn't know all this originally. She just happened to run into Gu Nian'an who was being chased by thugs after escaping from a brothel when she went to inspect the newly opened shops.

After all, they were sisters. She solved the trouble at the brothel, brought Gu Nian'an back, and sent people to investigate the news, only then did she know all this.

But soon after learning that the Jiang family went bankrupt in her previous life, and the Han family who adopted her found a way to enter the court, rose step by step, and even had to marry into a wealthy family and become the mistress of a marquis's mansion, Gu Nian'an became jealous and set fire to the house while she was sleeping, dying with her.

Gu Suining let out a breath slowly. She still remembered that Gu Nian'an held her tightly in the fire, saying that she had made the wrong choice and that everything he had should have been hers.

The fire consumed everything, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back at this moment.

Seeing that Gu Suining didn't speak, the nurse at the side asked, "Miss, what about you? Are you willing to go to the Jiang family?"

Gu Suining raised his eyes and looked at Gu Nian'an, just in time to meet the other's eyes full of defense and temptation.

"Sister, I've already chosen it. You're not going to snatch it from me, are you?"

Gu Suining's eyes turned, and he said with a happy expression: "How could that be? I am willing to go to the Jiang family, but... since you have chosen it, you can't regret it."

Not noticing anything unusual, Gu Nian'an looked at Gu Suining's delighted expression as if he had gotten the upper hand, and he felt so proud that he almost went crazy.

It seems that she is the only one who has been reborn. As expected, the good days of the official lady and the mistress of the Marquis's mansion should belong to her! As for the fire pit of the Jiang family, let Gu Suining jump into it in this life!

Looking at Gu Nian'an's unconcealable smug expression, Gu Suining felt a chill in his heart.

Although she and Gu Nian'an were not born of the same mother and had not been close since childhood, she had never expected that the other party could be so cruel.

However, rebirth was too absurd after all. Even if she told others that Gu Nian'an had killed her in her previous life, no one would believe her. And she naturally couldn't just kill Gu Nian'an for revenge.

Since Gu Nian'an is determined to live a good life in the Han family, then let him go.

Soon she will find out that the Han family, which seems prosperous, is actually in dire straits.

Without her careful planning, not to mention the position of the mistress of the marquis's family, even Han's father's promotion would probably be a pipe dream.

Oh, she was waiting to see whether Gu Nian'an, who thought she would have no worries for the rest of her life, could live the good life she thought she would this time!

The nurse looked at the two of them, confused.

After all, the second young lady has always loved competing with the eldest young lady since she was a child, and she wants the best of everything. Why does she choose the Han family instead of the Jiang family?

But since she had already made her choice, she didn't say anything more. She looked at the two carriages waiting outside the dilapidated temple, and worried that people were getting impatient, so she hurriedly took out a long box from her bag. When she opened it, there was only a red-carved brush with a cloud and crane pattern inside.

Gu Suining remembered that her father was fond of calligraphy in his spare time and loved to make his own brushes. This brush was made by her father before the accident, and it was the only relic left after the house was ransacked. However, in the previous life, the wet nurse had just taken it out when it was snatched away by Gu Nian'an.

"Miss, Miss, this is a legacy from our master, but there is only this one. Please take a look..."

Before the nanny could finish her words, Gu Nian'an subconsciously reached out to grab it.

"The Han family cannot compare to the Jiang family, so let's leave this to Nian An." Gu Suining suddenly spoke.

Gu Nian'an's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he turned his head to look at Gu Suining.

The latter smiled and continued, "Although this pen is not from a wealthy family, it is finely made and my father used exquisite materials. If my sister is short of money in the future, she can still exchange it for some money to spend."

"Who are you looking down on?" Gu Nian'an's face suddenly turned cold.

In her previous life, she took the relics because she didn't want Gu Sui Ning to take advantage of her. But later, the Jiang family went bankrupt, and she only got ten taels of silver when she sold them secretly.

In this life, she wanted to be the mistress of a marquisate with unlimited glory. Thinking of Gu Suining's astonishingly rich private property, she looked down upon such a small thing!

"Sister, I'm doing this for your own good. The Han family is not as good as the Jiang family, so just keep him for yourself." Gu Suining sighed, with a look of condescending sympathy in his eyes.

Gu Nian'an valued his reputation the most and was afraid of being looked down upon. After hearing her ask like this, he would definitely not take the money anymore.
