Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Liang stood there in a daze, with deep helplessness in her eyes.

She wanted to scold Gu Yichuan for being heartless, but as his sister-in-law, she had watched him grow up. Over the years, he had worked diligently and studied hard, almost day and night, just to become an official and make a name for himself.

It can even be said that the hopes of the entire family rest on him. Before Shen Nankui got married, everyone was counting on Gu Yichuan to bring honor to the family.

Therefore, it seems that he cannot be blamed entirely for trying to please King Jing and seek a future for himself...

But as a mother, Liang could empathize with Shen Nankui's feelings.

Just like she was afraid of losing Ayuan and Aqiao, Shen Nankui was persecuted and lost her children. Although there was a great enemy ahead, her husband turned to the enemy.

How could she not hate this?

How can it not hurt?

Liang was also filled with grief and indignation. She had always felt that her second brother and his wife were a match made in heaven, a perfect match, but she had never expected that they would end up like this.

She wanted to say something to persuade him, but she couldn't open her mouth.

In the silence, there was a sudden laugh. The two turned around and saw that it was Gu's mother.

"Princess? Prince? The princess is the prince's daughter, so isn't she a member of the royal family?"

She clapped her hands happily, "Divorce is good, divorce is good, my Chuan'er is now a high-ranking official, of noble status, and is favored by the princess, so he will surely be able to rise to prominence in the future... I never thought that I would be able to enjoy such a blessing when I am old!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She was so overjoyed that she burst into laughter.

Liang frowned deeply, "Mother! The Gu family can live the life they have today thanks to my second brother and his wife. What are you talking about?"

"What?"

Mother Gu snorted coldly and said, "Didn't you hear her say that she was the one who wanted a divorce. Can you blame Chuan'er or me? Besides, if Chuan'er divorces her, does that mean he will never marry again in his life? Since there is a great marriage in front of me, can't I just be happy first?"

"But that princess killed your second brother's wife's child. Aren't you also heartbroken for losing your youngest grandson just now?" Liang said angrily.

Mother Gu curled her lips and said, "It's just an unborn child. Chuan'er is not yet an adult and is still young. Are you afraid that there will be no other flesh and blood in the future? What's more, if he can really marry the princess, the child he has will also be considered to have royal blood. I will naturally like such a noble grandson more!"

Liang was furious. "Mother, we should be reasonable in everything. It was the Gu family who accepted the kindness of my second brother and his wife first. How can we turn our backs on them? I will not accept your words!"

After saying that, he added, "Qingrong won't agree either!"

Mother Gu's face darkened and she cursed, "Asshole! You just went out to do business for a few days, but you think you are such a big shot. How dare you yell in front of me?"

This time, Liang was really not afraid of her, and said coldly: "If you have the guts, divorce me too and marry another wife for your eldest son!"

Seeing that she dared to speak to her like this, Gu's mother was so angry that her eyes went dark. She was about to get angry, but she didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly she smiled disdainfully.

"Do you think I don't dare? Don't you think about it? With your status as a country woman, how can you be worthy of being the princess's sister-in-law?"

Mother Gu glanced at her with disdain, "Chuan'er is successful now, and Qingrong, as his brother, will naturally benefit from it. With Chuan'er's status and the prestige of the palace, it will be easy for him to find a girl from a good family. Who can compare with you?"

Liang asked herself, since she married into the Gu family for more than ten years, she has always been obedient to her mother-in-law and never disobeyed her. Except for being angry today and speaking in a harsh tone, she has never done anything to let down Mother Gu.

She never expected that although she was just speaking in anger, Mother Gu actually had such thoughts in her heart.

Over the years, she gave birth to children for the Gu family, took care of all the household chores, and made countless contributions and efforts, but in return she only received one question: Who can she compare to?

She was filled with sadness and was about to continue talking when she was stopped by Shen Nankui.

"Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. There's no need to quarrel with Madam Gu because of me."

She shook Liang's hand vigorously and shook her head at her.

After all, Gu's mother is her mother-in-law. If the two of them really have a conflict, Liang will not get any good results because of this identity pressure, and she will not have to suffer because of it.

Even Shen Nankui herself always spoke slowly and handled things in a roundabout way when dealing with Gu's mother. She had never directly disobeyed her, so naturally she had nothing to say.

Besides, she was the trigger of this incident.

She was about to leave the Gu family. Liang had taken good care of her in the past. There was no need for her to fall out with Gu's mother because of her.

After being stopped by her, Liang calmed down a little.

She knew that she would not gain anything by saying this and it would also give Gu's mother a handle, but she just couldn't get angry.

"Sister-in-law, I have no right to persuade you to divorce my second brother, but I can't help but watch you leave. You may not know that the new house of the Gu family has been built. I have been watching them add things to the new house these days. It is very magnificent and more than ten times larger than the old house. This house was started before my second brother became the top scholar. It has nothing to do with him. It can be said that without you, sister-in-law, there would be no Gu family today."

As she spoke, she suddenly burst into tears again.

"I don't know if other people have a heart, but in my heart, I really can't bear to leave you. If you didn't mind my stupidity and always taught me and encouraged me, how could I, Liang Chunlan, be where I am today? Others don't recognize your kindness to the Gu family, but I, Liang Chunlan, recognize your kindness to me. Good sister-in-law, no, good sister, from now on, I will only treat you as my sister, but I don't know...are you still willing to associate with me, your former sister-in-law?"

After saying these words, she looked at Shen Nankui cautiously, waiting for her answer.

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Of course I am willing."

Hearing this, Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good. I was really afraid that after you left, you would no longer care about me..."

"How could that be? Even if we're not sisters-in-law, you and I are still business partners. How can we not interact with each other?"

The two of them were chatting and laughing, but Gu's mother's face was getting worse and worse.

Not to mention, she was scolded by Liang for making indirect accusations, and she suddenly thought of an important issue.

She stared at Shen Nankui and asked, "You just said you were coming back to get something. What are you going to take?"

Shen Nankui said: "Of course it's mine."

"your things……"

Mother Gu tried to figure out what she meant by this, and her expression changed as she said, "As for the other things in the house, as long as they were bought by you, I won't stop you if you want to take them away. But the money you gave me in the past was for Chuan'er to honor me, and it was also for the money to build a new house, so don't even think about taking a penny!"
