Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore
Chapter 29 Heaven and man are separated forever
Gu Zeqian was furious when he saw his second brother kneeling before the younger generation:
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
As he said that, he stepped forward and tried to help him up. He turned around and pointed at the tip of Song Wanyin's nose, angrily scolding:
"Song Wanyin, you are simply unreasonable.
You actually let your elders kneel down and beg for mercy. Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"
The lady had never expected that the dignified Second Master Gu would actually kneel down and surrender.
"Second brother, why are you doing this?
If you want to blame someone, blame me. I didn't know how to train my daughter-in-law.
It’s a real misfortune for the family.”
Song Wanyin lowered her eyelashes and said coldly:
"Second uncle, I am just doing my job.
If you do this, aren't you putting me in an unfair position?"
Gu Zecheng has always cared about his reputation, so he just threw it all away and begged bitterly:
"Wan Yin, today, in front of your mother-in-law and third uncle, I can hand over my silk shop and porcelain shop to you.
However, I need a 30% stake.
I hope you can allow the second wife to have a chance to survive.
If you are willing to show mercy, I am willing to act as a guarantor to prevent Gu Qingchen from selling the family property.
As for your request for the ancestral property as collateral, that is a matter between you and your spouse, and I will not interfere."
Song Wanyin saw that he was not sincere. His son was in danger, but he still wanted to hold on to the two shops. It seemed that he was really obsessed with money.
"Give me the title deed and the contract that the old marquis wrote to you, which is also stamped with the Gu family seal.
As for your Gu Changrong, I can only make sure he survives.
Three days later, you can wait for news at home."
Gu Zecheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, tears glistened in the corners of his eyes, and he nodded and said:
“Okay, I’ll get the title deed and the contract when I get back.
The 30% of shares I want will be regarded as your consent.
As long as Rong Ge'er's life can be saved, I will be thankful to God."
Seeing that his second brother had paid such a huge price, Gu Zeqian was angry and annoyed, and he circled around him:
"Brother, are you crazy?
That was allocated to you when my eldest brother was alive.
You said you would give it, and you gave it away. Then your second wife will have a hard time living in poverty in the future."
Gu Zecheng knew very well that Song Wanyin was the only one who could save his son, so he had no choice but to give in and persuade her:
"Third brother, don't be so stubborn. Just hand over the bank and blacksmith shop under your name.
Don't you want to rescue your brother Sheng?"
Gu Zeqian also wanted to rescue his son, but asking him to hand over the shop was tantamount to asking for his life.
"I'm not stupid enough to hand over all my belongings to a woman like her.
Second brother, you'd better wake up soon. Even if you lose everything you have, she will never rescue your son Rong.
Let's go back and have a good discussion. We will eventually be able to find a way to rescue them."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Song Wanyin said calmly:
"Since Third Uncle doesn't want to, I can't force him.
Second uncle just needs to go back and wait for news.
If you have nothing else to do, you may leave."
Although Gu Zecheng felt sorry for the money, when he heard that she was willing to rescue his son, he thanked her profusely:
"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for news. Thank you for your help."
Seeing that she had been ordered to leave, the lady knew that if she continued to stay here, it would be like slapping herself in the face.
I didn't expect that this trip would end up with more than just trying to steal a chicken.
Gu Zeqian wanted to argue with Song Wanyin several times, but he was too proud to do so. He glared at her fiercely and walked away cursing.
"Pah, what the hell?
He is really like a pig with a scallion stuck in his nose, pretending to be great. He really thinks he is great.
You can't cheat me of my property.
Even if I don't ask you, I still have a way to rescue my brother Sheng."
Tian Cheng's cheeks puffed up with anger, and he said indignantly:
"Girl, look at them.
You were kind enough to help them save their son, but the Third Master not only ignored you, but also cursed at you. This is really too much!"
Song Wanyin watched them leave the garden. He had already made plans in his mind and everything was under control.
"It doesn't matter. Since Third Uncle is unwilling to spend money to avoid disaster, there is no guarantee that Gu Yongsheng can get out of prison alive."
Sweet Orange said worriedly:
"Miss, do you really want to go to the Dali Temple Shaoqing in person and plead for mercy?
Will this affect your reputation?
If someone sees this, it will inevitably lead to gossip.”
Song Wanyin smiled faintly and said:
"My senior brother sent me a pigeon letter a while ago, telling me that the two rebellious sons of the Gu family have not been judged yet.
I used to help them clean up the mess, and my senior knew about it.
However, the senior brother said in the letter that they were just implicated and the mastermind was someone else.
This matter is of no small importance. To put it in a serious manner, it is a capital crime punishable by death.
To put it mildly, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life imprisonment cannot be escaped."
Having said this, she stopped talking, knowing full well the purpose of her senior brother sending the letter by carrier pigeon.
Tian Cheng nodded, not quite understanding, and sighed secretly:
"The girl's current thoughts are really hard to figure out."
Song Wanyin wrote a reply letter to his senior brother that night and sent it by carrier pigeon.
She did not mention anything in the letter, and told her senior brother to judge the case as he saw fit and deal with it according to the law.
However, she still said a few good words for Gu Changrong.
In the days that followed, she would be able to take the title deed and contract and formally take back the silk and porcelain shops under the name of the second wife.
Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected surprise this time.
Looking across the entire capital, almost all dignitaries like to come to silk shops and porcelain shops to choose things.
Because these businesses have high profits, large market demand, and very deep cultural heritage.
Merchants from all over the world come here for unknown reasons and buy goods from here, which brings very high profits.
This is the most profitable business at present, and it is easy to get these two big pieces of fat meat.
Song Wanyin knew that dragon bone blood was extremely expensive and scarce, and it would definitely cost a high price to buy it.
With an extra income, I can have more money on hand, which finally solves the urgent problem.
Three days later, the government announced the list of people to be executed for this incident, and Gu Yongsheng and his group were executed in the autumn.
Gu Changrong was exiled to the extremely desolate Chaozhou and was never allowed to return to the capital for the rest of his life.
Their lives were saved, but the conditions in Chaozhou were extremely bad, with miasma everywhere. Many prisoners were unable to adapt and eventually died of illness.
When the Second Lady saw her son off, she cried bitterly, for this farewell would be the last time they would be together.
Gu Changrong was beaten all over, wearing prison clothes, with unkempt hair and dirty face, and heavy shackles and fetters on his body, looking unwilling to give in.
He has no remorse to this day and still resents his parents for not being able to save him from the dire straits.
This exile is undoubtedly a dead end, and he may even suffer some painful torture.
Gu Zecheng tearfully saw his son off while hating Song Wanyin in his heart.
Although Rong Ge'er's life was saved, being exiled to a desolate place would be a dead end, wouldn't it?
Compared to the exile sentenced to the second branch, the third branch was in even greater tears.
When the terrible news came, the whole family was immersed in grief and began to prepare for the funeral.
The third lady cried and shouted that the old person was sending off the young person, and she fainted on the spot and lost consciousness.
Gu Zeqian was so angry that he vomited blood and said angrily to the sky:
"Song Wanyin, you and I cannot coexist, return my son's life to me!"
