Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

Gu Qingzhi spent money like water. If she sold her family property, she would have to live a hard life.

"Brother, I also strongly oppose this, this is all our family property.

If you sell a part of it, and in case you can’t get it back later, will everyone in our mansion starve to death?

What's more, I have finally won the favor of Chu Hexuan, the eldest son of the Duke of England.

I don’t want this wealth and glory that is so easily within my reach to slip through my fingers.”

Gu Qingye said with displeasure:

“Brother, although the eldest brother is like a father, you are the one who makes the decisions in the Marquisate.

But after all, we still have a share of the ancestral property, so you can't be arbitrary in this matter.

If you want to sell it, return my share of the property to me first."

Gu Qingchen was deeply hurt by their words.

Over the years, he has fought desperately on the battlefield, struggling to support the Marquisate.

I thought that my younger brothers and sisters had grown up and would be sensible enough to help him share some of the responsibilities.

Unexpectedly, he raised a bunch of ungrateful wolves who all depended on him and wanted to devour all his flesh and blood.

Gu Qingchen looked gloomy and said coldly:

"I have made up my mind about this matter. You have no right to decide."

Seeing his expression suddenly change, Gu Qinghe immediately changed his expression and offered advice:

“Brother, this matter is not without a way out.

You can just ask your sister-in-law to pay for it.

I found out that during this period, the houses, estates, fields and shops under my sister-in-law's name made a lot of money.

She had Manager Wu deliver all of it and never put it into the Gu family's accounting office. It was obvious that she wanted to cut off our source of income.

You can either go and humble yourself to your sister-in-law and let her willingly give you the money.

Otherwise, you can be tougher and just snatch your sister-in-law's dowry.

A married woman should obey her husband. After all, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Gu family and the mistress of the household.

She has the responsibility and obligation to take care of all the major and minor affairs in the mansion."

Gu Qingzhi also echoed:

"Brother, I agree with my second sister. If this matter gets out, where will the reputation of our Gu family be?

Wouldn't it become a huge joke in the entire Shangjing City?

How can you become an official in the court? The officials in the court can drown you with just a spit.

In my opinion, my sister-in-law's family is well-off, and she won't dare to refuse to give you the money if you ask for it."

Gu Qingye accidentally let slip:

"Brother, you better make a decision quickly.

I owe the brothel several hundred taels of silver, and recently the madam has been chasing me on the street every day to collect the debt.

Moreover, I owed the gambling house several thousand taels of silver, and those debt collectors blocked me at the alley entrance every day.

I had to hide here and there all day long, like a rat crossing the street.

If I can't pay back the debt, I'm afraid they will come to collect it, and then there will be a big commotion, which will make the officials living nearby laugh at me.

By then, you will lose face and lose your foothold in the court."

Gu Qingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, his face twitched a few times, he gritted his teeth in anger, and reached out to hit him.

"You are such a good person, Gu Qingye, you are ignorant and idle all day long, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

How much debt has your family helped you pay off over the years?

Unexpectedly, you don't repent, but become even worse.

Today, I must beat you to death to prevent you from continuing to ruin the Gu family's reputation."

Gu Qingye jumped up and down flexibly like a monkey, hiding far away and retorted:

"Brother, I'm already grown up, why do you attack me?

Over the years, no matter how big a mess I got into outside, my sister-in-law would help me clean up the mess.

She has never blamed or beaten me.

I didn't ask you to contribute money or effort, so you have no right to discipline me!"

Seeing that he still dared to be stubborn, Gu Qingchen slammed the table with a frown on his face, pointed at his nose and scolded:

"I am your eldest brother, so I have the responsibility and obligation to discipline you.

I warn you, this time the government will no longer pay to help you settle all this.

Don't even think that Song Wanyin can help you clean up the mess.

If you have the ability, you can pay off your debts yourself. If you don’t, just wait to be beaten to death by your creditors!"

Gu Qinghe and Gu Qingzhi immediately stood up to stop them, constantly persuading Gu Qingchen to calm down, and put all the blame on Song Wanyin.

"Brother, if you want to blame someone for this, blame your sister-in-law.

If she had not deliberately indulged and failed to correct her fourth brother's behavior in time, his fourth brother would not have fallen deeper and deeper into trouble.

I think my sister-in-law clearly did it on purpose in order to keep her position as the mistress of the household.

She spared no effort to deal with her fourth brother, turning him into a useless person and making him lose the qualification to inherit the title.

Thinking about it now, it’s really terrifying, what a vicious heart.”

“Brother, even if you beat Fourth Brother to death, it will be of no use.

The most urgent thing is that the mansion is in urgent need of silver.

Why are you taking your anger out on your fourth brother instead of trying to find the silver?"

Gu Qingchen was so angry that his face turned red and white. If he hadn't taken into consideration that his two younger sisters were girls, he would have taught them a lesson.

"Okay, stop pleading for him.

I will settle this matter with him later."

He glared fiercely at Gu Qingye who was hiding behind the red pillar, slammed the door and left.

With the recent disturbances in the mansion coming one after another, Gu Qingchen was overwhelmed and walked aimlessly in the yard in a state of distraught.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at Qingzhu Garden, where he was worried about where to vent his anger.

Gu Qingchen kicked the door open and was angry when he saw that Song Wanyin was living a very comfortable life.

"Song Wanyin, this is all your conspiracy, right?"

The sudden loud noise really scared Tiancheng and Nanny Wei. They stopped what they were doing and ran to protect their master.

"My Lord, what are you going to do with my girl?"

"The girl's old injury has not healed yet, don't even think about hurting her again."

Song Wanyin was lying in a rocking chair, holding a purple clay teapot in his left hand and a book in his right hand, savoring life carefully.

She slowly raised her eyes and was no longer surprised by Gu Qingchen's furious look.

"What kind of wind is this today that actually brought the great marquis here?"

Gu Qingchen saw that she was acting weird and didn't even stand up to greet him. She didn't take him seriously at all. He snorted coldly:

"Song Wanyin, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look pretty good now.

Look at how you are enjoying your life. You must be very proud of yourself, right? "

Song Wanyin rocked leisurely in the rocking chair, tasting the freshly brewed honeysuckle tea, and said with a calm smile:

"I am resting and recuperating in the garden. I have food and drink, and I am relaxed and at ease. Naturally, my complexion is getting better and better.

On the contrary, why does the Marquis look so listless and exhausted?

That's not like you."

Gu Qingchen was so depressed that his face turned red, his back teeth were almost broken, and the veins on his neck were bulging. He said:

"Song Wanyin, you still have the nerve to ask me, all of this is thanks to you."

Song Wanyin smiled with a hint of ridicule:

"Gu Qingchen, you must speak according to your conscience and be careful not to let your tongue slip."

Gu Qingchen opened his mouth to speak, but because he was too impatient, he accidentally bit his tongue, and the burning pain spread throughout his mouth.

"hiss……"

Seeing that he had revealed his mask of pain, but was still trying to save face and suffer, Song Wanyin couldn't help but sneer:

"Gu Qingchen, you came to me today, are you planning to give in to me?"
