Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Gu's mother seemed to be shocked by what Song Dong'er had done and didn't say a word the whole night.

Liang glanced at her, sighed silently, and then turned his gaze to Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"

My second brother and his wife are both opinionated people. Now that the truth is out, they will definitely take action against Song Dong'er. Even if my mother-in-law wants to stop them, I'm afraid she can't.

Shen Nankui looked up at Gu Yichuan, "Yichuan, you decide."

She believed he would give her a satisfactory result.

Gu Yichuan nodded and glanced at Song Dong'er on the ground, "Dong'er, you did such a thing. The relationship between you and me as brother and sister is over. The Gu family will not keep you anymore."

Song Dong'er suddenly felt frightened.

"Brother Chuan, are you going to chase me away? But you are the only relatives I have in this world..."

She rushed over and grabbed the corner of Gu Yichuan's clothes, crying, "I was wrong, Brother Chuan, I won't dare to do it again, please don't chase me away, okay?"

Gu Yichuan ignored her, took a deep breath and said, "You have no other relatives in the world, so I'm not driving you away."

Before Song Dong'er could feel happy, she was struck by lightning when she heard his next words.

"When I came back, I went to the matchmaker Wang's house in town and arranged a marriage between you and the Feng family in my mother's name. You will get married at the end of the month."

"Feng family, which Feng family?" Song Dong'er asked with wide eyes.

Her mind was in a mess. She clearly had some impression of the Feng family, but she couldn't remember it at all.

"The families that my aunt has introduced to me include Mr. Li in town, the Zheng family who runs a silk and satin shop in the county town, the wealthy Qiu family in the next village, and the Feng family... the Feng family in Yangping Pass!"

She screamed in shock, "Yangping Pass is a thousand miles away from here, and this marriage was rejected by my aunt long ago. Brother Chuan, you actually want me to marry so far away?"

Mother Gu also seemed to come to her senses and shook her head and said, "The Feng family is not a good choice. It's too far!"

Gu Yichuan only looked at Song Dong'er, "So you know how much your mother cares about you. The families she picked for you are all from clean and wealthy families, so that you won't suffer or be wronged after getting married. But what about you? Matchmaker Wang said that everyone dislikes you. You are delaying your marriage and staying at home, just to harm my wife?"

"You didn't choose when I asked you to choose. Now it's too late to regret it."

Gu Yichuan said coldly: "Although the Feng family is far away, they are considered a wealthy family in Yangping Pass, and the one seeking marriage is the youngest son of the family. As long as you don't cause trouble when you marry them, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Song Dong'er cried out, "The climate in Yangping Pass is extremely cold, with snow falling for half a year. How could you let me suffer in such a place?"

"There are options that don't involve suffering, such as the Li family in town, the Zheng family in the county, and the wealthy Qiu family, but didn't you reject them all?"

Seeing him so cold-blooded and ruthless, Song Dong'er's heart seemed to be frozen.

She looked at Gu Yichuan with tears in her eyes, then suddenly stood up and ran towards Gu's mother, kneeling down in front of her.

"Aunt, Aunt, I was wrong. Please help Dong'er. I don't want to go so far, and I don't want to leave you..."

Although Gu's mother was also very shocked and angry at her, she couldn't help but soften her heart when she heard her crying so sadly.

"Chuan'er, Yangping Pass is too far away. If Dong'er marries there, I'm afraid she will never see us again. Otherwise, why don't you arrange another marriage for her?"

"Meet? After doing something like this, how can she have the nerve to come and see us again?"

Mother Gu was stunned. "So, you deliberately want to marry Dong'er off far away?"

"good."

Mother Gu didn't know what to say, she just slapped her thigh and sighed, "The wind in Yangping Pass is freezing cold, how can a delicate girl like Dong'er endure such suffering?"

Gu Yichuan said: "The Feng family is quite powerful, she can't bear the hardship."

"But you are too cruel. Dong'er is your cousin after all. Even if you break her bones, she still has tendons. Her parents are no longer alive. You..."

Gu Yichuan interrupted his mother and said, "Mom, if you still want to plead for mercy, then we can invite the head of the village, open the ancestral hall, and discuss the case in front of the villagers. Or, do you want to send Dong'er to court?"

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother shut her mouth.

Dong'er's wrongdoings, let alone going to court, would probably result in a serious crime even if the village head was to deal with it...

She knew her second son's personality very well. Sometimes he would just stick to his own principles and would really do such a thing without considering the relationship.

She sighed deeply, "Dong'er, this time, auntie can't help you."

Song Dong'er burst into tears and held her hand tightly.

"Aunt, instead of going to Yangping Pass, why not go to the Li family in town, or any other family?"

Mother Gu pried her hands apart little by little, "Dong'er, I told you, there's nothing I can do!"

Song Dong'er said in disbelief: "Aunt, you said you regarded me as your own daughter, but it turned out that you were lying to me. If I were really your daughter, would you still be so cruel?"

Gu's mother felt bitter, but her son had made up his mind and there was nothing she could do.

She couldn't bear to see Song Dong'er like this, so she turned her head away.

Song Dong'er became even more angry and shouted, "Liar! You are all hypocritical liars. You all say that you treat me as a family member, but you only coax me because I am obedient and sensible. Now that I make the slightest mistake, you kick me away!"

"Snap!" a sound was heard.

Gu's mother slapped her hard on the face.

"Dong'er, you've lost your mind!"

Mother Gu didn't know whether she was angry or in pain, she just felt miserable.

"Before you came to the Gu family, your own parents despised you for being their daughter and beat and scolded you at every turn. But in the years since you came to the Gu family, ask yourself, how have I treated you? Have I ever touched you? All the good things in the family, all of them are given to you first."

"I've given you my heart and soul, and I've loved you so much, but in return you... you don't appreciate it!"

Mother Gu coughed angrily a few times and panted, "I think Liang is right. If you can treat Shen like this today, if I make you unhappy one day, I'm afraid you will send me away with a bag of poison!"
