"Oh my! I am going to die. My daughter-in-law is so disobedient and unfilial. I am going to kowtow to the official and ask him who would dare to marry a daughter-in-law like her!"
Old Mrs. Zhang knew that what Gu Yingxue said was true, and she was too embarrassed to argue with her. She could only pat her thighs and cry and shout towards the door while facing Gu Yingxue.
Gu Yingxue looked at the shameless old lady Zhang, the stern-faced Lin Zhixue, the arrogant and domineering Luo Jiaojiao, and the guards all over the yard.
Knowing that she would not get any benefit today no matter what she did, she felt extremely sad. She kept thinking back to how she had almost gone blind from embroidery day and night since she got married in order to support Lin Zhixue's studies.
Moreover, most of the money his father earned from teaching in a private school was secretly given to Lin Zhixue, the ungrateful man!
Even his eldest brother did not go to the capital to take the imperial examination this time because even if the family took out all the money, there was only enough money for one person to go to the capital.
The eldest brother took the initiative to say that he was not ready yet, and let Lin Zhixue go first, and he could wait three years before going.
Unexpectedly, in the end, she ended up being demoted to a concubine by him because of his success in the imperial examination!
"Lin Zhixue, my father taught you how to read and write and never charged you for tuition. Your family is so poor that you don't even have a penny. If it weren't for my father, you would have been working in the fields like your brothers all your life. Now that you have risen to the top, is this how you treat his daughter?!"
Gu Yingxue looked at Lin Zhixue expressionlessly as she questioned him. She did not mention the vows of love Lin Zhixue had made to her. If a man had broken his promise to her, bringing up their past love would only make her look even more unbearable.
There were no more tears in her eyes. She had cried all these past two days since she found out that Lin Zhixue wanted to demote his wife to a concubine.
Lin Zhixue's eyes are now filled with his own wealth, so how can he care about this woman who can no longer provide him with any help and will only hold him back!
After hearing what Gu Yingxue said, Lin Zhixue's expression became unnatural for a moment. When he was a child, he accidentally ran to the school and saw the children in the school who were dressed neatly and he was very envious.
She happened to meet Gu Xiucai who was teaching. Seeing her longing eyes, he felt pity for her and instead of driving her away, he let her sit in and listen.
Later, Gu Xiucai discovered that he was very talented and tried his best to persuade his mother to let him go to school.
Her mother disagreed at first, as their family was too poor to afford the tuition. Later, it was Gu Xiucai who exempted her from the tuition, allowing her to start her life journey of studying for the imperial examination.
Later, Gu Xiucai went to the city to teach, and took himself to the school in the city.
If it weren't for Gu Xiucai, he would indeed be still digging for food in the fields like his brothers.
However, if a man does not work for his own benefit, he will be punished by heaven and earth. The Gu family is no longer of any use to him.
Lin Zhixue glanced at Luo Jiaojiao. He must marry this woman. Jiaojiao was the only legitimate daughter of Yang Chenghou and was deeply loved by Yang Chenghou.
If I marry her, I won't have to worry about being sent to some remote place to take up a post because of lack of support in the court.
In the past, he thought too highly of himself, believing that as long as he achieved a good ranking in the imperial examination, he would enjoy endless wealth and glory.
But when he arrived in the capital, he found that there were too many knowledgeable people. The top scholar appeared only once every three years, and he was just one of many top scholars.
He had already inquired about it, and knew that in previous years, the only way out for those top scorers who came from poor families was to marry a noble in the capital.
Otherwise, you can only be sent to local areas to gain experience, and then return to Beijing to find a job after achieving some results.
Many of the once-glorious top scholars went to other places and never returned to the capital, and could only live in frustration in other places.
He studied hard for many years just to leave this remote mountain village, and there is no way he would come back to gain experience in such a rural area!
Just when he was racking his brains for a good plan to stay in Beijing, he met Luo Jiaojiao. Under Luo Jiaojiao's astonished and shy gaze, he did not hesitate to grab Luo Jiaojiao, the woman who could help him rise to the top!
Luo Jiaojiao was just an unmarried girl, and under his intentional or unintentional teasing, she would soon be determined to marry him!
She went home crying and begging to marry him. Although the Marquis's family was reluctant, they had to agree to Luo Jiaojiao marrying him. After all, they already...
But the Marquis made it clear that Luo Jiaojiao could only be the legal wife, and at the beginning the Marquis asked me to kill Gu Yingxue.
He delayed the marriage on the grounds that he was worried that his wife had died suddenly just after she passed the imperial examination, and that marrying Luo Jiaojiao might damage her reputation.
But the Marquis only gave him three years, and after three years, Gu Yingxue must die with a legitimate reason!
He planned to make plans slowly and stabilize Yang Chenghou's family. Maybe after three years he would have thought of an excuse to keep Gu Yingxue alive.
Lin Zhixue glanced at Gu Yingxue. His wife was as beautiful as a delicate flower. Even though he had met so many women in the capital, he had to admit that his wife was more beautiful!
Gu Yingxue is gentle and charming, and she obeys me in everything, unlike Luo Jiaojiao who is willful and capricious. She is a good wife who regards her husband as her heaven.
It's a pity that her background is too low to give me any help. Although she is the person I love most in my heart, I can only put her in a difficult position temporarily.
"You were disrespectful to your mother-in-law first. I didn't divorce you because I was concerned about our old relationship. Don't keep making trouble!"
Lin Zhixue yelled at Gu Yingxue with a cruel heart, but he could not hide the pity and heartache in his eyes. Luo Jiaojiao looked at him with jealousy, and she looked at Gu Yingxue fiercely.
This Gu Yingxue is so beautiful! She has a kind of charmingness that any man can't help but be attracted to!
The coarse cloth clothes she wore not only did not make her lose her charm, but instead made her look otherworldly. It was incredible that such a remote small county could have such a beauty!
Luo Jiaojiao looked fiercely at her personal maid. The maid had been with Luo Jiaojiao for many years and knew her master's character very well. She understood her master's intention at a glance and shouted coldly at Gu Yingxue:
"You lowly person, how dare you insult me? Someone, shave her face as punishment!"
Gu Yingxue saw through the ugliness of Lin Zhixue and was thinking about how to divorce and escape from this ungrateful man with a beastly heart.
She would never be a concubine in this life. Her elder brother would have to take the imperial examinations in the future. She had already burdened him a lot because of Lin Zhixue. Now she couldn't continue to burden him.
Therefore, she could never be Lin Zhixue's concubine!
Scholars are aloof. If an elder brother had a younger sister who became someone's concubine, he would never be able to hold his head up high.
Gu Yingxue suddenly heard a maid's loud shout, and before she could react, several maids who knew kung fu came up and beat her!
She was restrained and unable to move, feeling severe pain all over her body, and then a maid scratched her face with a knife!
The maid's movements were quick and skillful, and it was obvious that she did this kind of thing often!
