The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

"If I didn't say so, would you have come over?" Su Qin asked instead of answering, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

Gu Lin’s rough black face turned red in an instant.

His eyes widened like bells, and he grabbed Su Qin's neck, squeezing out a voice from between his teeth: "Su--Qin--! You lied to me--!"

Having been cheated for more than ten years, what he can't stand the most now is being cheated.

Still deceived by Su Qin.

"Cough cough - cough cough -!" Su Qin had difficulty breathing and couldn't stop rolling her eyes. She kept coughing, her eyes were wet from coughing and her face turned blue and purple from suffocation.

The wet nurse immediately knelt down and begged with her head raised.

"General, no! Stop it! Madam can't die. The second young lady is getting married on the 17th. How can the second young lady get married if Madam dies?"

Gu Lin came back to his senses, waved his hand, and snorted, "For Ya'er's sake, I'll let you live a few more days."

"Cough, cough, cough--!" Su Qin touched her aching neck and coughed violently a few times. She rolled her eyes at Gu Lin, feeling proud and sarcastic.

The wet nurse frowned and offered warm tea with a worried look on her face.

"Madam, drink some water to moisten your throat."

You have been doing well for more than ten years, why don't you do it now? Keep doing it!

She just didn't believe that the general had no feelings for his wife.

After drinking the warm water, Su Qin's throat felt much better and she could speak normally, but her voice was still hoarse.

It was a little rough, unlike the soft, shrill voice of a woman.

"Gu Lin, let me ask you, did you give all the dowry I prepared for Ya'er to Gu Yunyan?"

Gu Lin glanced at her and shook his head disdainfully.

"I just returned the dowry that the Wen family gave to Yan'er's mother to its original owner. I didn't take the ones that you prepared for yourself."

"It's still Yaer's."

"Don't treat me like you. I'm not as greedy as you. I don't take things that don't belong to me as if it's my right. I don't know shame."

"you--!"

"Those were given to me by my uncle after my cousin died. Why did you take them? They belong to Ya'er and Wen'er, not her, Gu Yunyan!"

Su Qin's chest heaved violently.

She said a few words with confidence and started coughing again. The wet nurse rubbed her back with a worried look on her face to help her calm down.

I felt uneasy and helpless when I heard it.

Madam, what are you arguing about? If the general takes it, just give it to the young lady.

The second young lady and the eldest young master are both the general's biological children, so how can they be treated unfairly?

But he was slapped in the face in less than a second.

"Oh, you are really shameless, with a face thicker than the city wall at the border. You completely forgot the premise of your father-in-law giving you the dowry, and you didn't mention it at all."

Gu Lin found himself laughing because of her anger.

"Don't you know who killed Yan'er's mother and your aunt? Why are you pretending?"

"You still have the nerve to mention dowry? I tell you, it's impossible!"

"I will only give Ya'er one hundred and thirty-eight as her dowry. The rest of the Gu family's property will all belong to Yan'er, and Gu Wen has to earn the betrothal gift for his wife on the battlefield himself!"

It just so happens that foreign tribes are eyeing us covetously, and autumn and winter are approaching.

I will bring Gu Wen with me when I go back to the border this time. He can train well and accumulate some military merits and get some rewards.

"Gu Lin!" Su Qin roared in disbelief.

Gu Lin snorted coldly and walked away without looking back. His steps were so hurried that it seemed as if there was a ghost chasing him.

There was a strong sense of disgust in his back.

Su Qin immediately threw herself into the arms of her wet nurse and started crying: "Mummy, look at him, look at him! This is how he treats Ya'er and Wen'er."

"I will only give Ya'er 138 sets of dowry."

"People in the capital who are one level lower than the Gu family don't give their daughters more than this amount of dowry. He is deliberately trying to embarrass Ya'er!"

"Embarrass me!"

"And my Wen'er, why is he so miserable? He is obviously the only legitimate son and the legitimate heir of the Gu family."

"But he can't get a penny of the Gu family's property. Gu Lin is so cruel!"

"..."

Su Qin kept complaining and crying, and soon she fell asleep from exhaustion. The wet nurse sighed silently.

If the dowry is not returned, the second young lady will probably get angry again.

......

indeed so.

Gu Ya, who was expecting to receive a large dowry, was so angry that she almost fainted when she learned about this.

"Brother Wen, Dad is too partial. What Mom says is useless. Go talk to Dad. You are a man, the only heir of the family, and Dad will definitely listen to what you say."

Gu Ya was getting married in three days, and Gu Wen had already rushed back from college.

Naturally, there were his confidants in the mansion, or servants who wanted to curry favor with him and told him everything that had happened during this period.

As soon as he came back, he went to the study to find Gu Lin.

Not only was it useless, but I also got scolded.

"You are a man, a real man. Don't be as short-sighted as your mother, thinking about things that don't belong to you."

"I think your mother has spoiled you. You only know how to keep staring at that little thing."

"Don't go to the academy anymore. The Gu family is a military family. No matter how much you study, if you don't take the imperial examination, it's a waste of time."

"This time you will come with me to the border to make achievements and pass on my Gu family's legacy."

Gu Wen was indignant.

"Dad, what did I say wrong? Go and see, which family would give all their property to their daughter as a dowry?"

He wouldn't be happy to give it to Gu Ya, his biological sister.

Not to mention Gu Yunyan, an elder sister who was adopted halfway, he would be unwilling a hundred times, a thousand times!

He was telling the truth, but Gu Lin was furious.

He forced him to go to the martial arts arena to practice, saying that he wanted to check whether he had practiced martial arts diligently at home.

Are you lazy?

In fact, I just wanted to take this opportunity to beat him up openly.

Gu Wen still suffers from back pain and is in great pain. Gu Ya's sobbing voice makes his head even bigger.

"Sister, please stop crying."

"Brother Wen, did you hear what I just said?" Fortunately, Gu Ya listened to the advice and slowly stopped crying. Her eyes and nose were red, and she asked in a muffled voice.

"I heard it." Gu Wen nodded and said, "Sister, I can't do anything about this."

"At least you can get 138 dowries, but I can't get anything. I have to fight hard on the battlefield to earn it myself."

There are swords and sabers, and you have to endure hardships. You may lose limbs or even your life at any time.

Why is he so miserable?

Gu Ya sobbed and felt a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Compared with Gu Wen, her father has been very good to her. At least she doesn't have to earn her dowry herself.

wrong!

She shook her head violently to get rid of the strange thoughts, gritted her teeth and whispered, "Brother Wen, as long as Gu Yunyan is here, you, my sister, and my mother will have a hard time."

"You have studied abroad for many years. Do you know anyone who can kidnap Gu Yunyan and give her to..."

Gu Ya put her hand on her neck, closed her eyes, tilted her neck, and pretended to be dead.

Gu Wen nodded hesitantly: "I don't know him..."

"Then why did you nod?!" Gu Ya was furious, her eyes that had lit up suddenly turned dark, and she said unhappily.
