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

Over the Marquis's residence, the sky suddenly became gloomy and depressing. Dark clouds covered the sky, and fierce winds howled as if they wanted to tear everything apart.

This shameful incident in the Gu family alarmed the second and third wives, and all the elders gathered together.

The lady's health had not yet recovered. She was shocked to learn of the scandal and said with great sorrow:

"He Jie'er, although you are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, your father and I have never criticized you.

Unexpectedly, I indulged you to become lawless and cause such a terrible disaster.

Your brother is an official of the imperial court. If this matter gets out, how can you let him live in dignity?

How will others view the Gu family? "

Seeing that she was very emotional, the Second Lady persuaded her:

“Sister-in-law, since this scandal has already happened, we must find a way to resolve it.

Instead of just blaming her here, even if you scold her to death, you can't change the result. "

The Third Lady was always outspoken and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Sister-in-law, as far as I know, Sister He has secretly met with men outside her family more than once or twice.

If Song Wanyin hadn't stepped in and spent a large sum of money to suppress it last time, He Jie'er would have had an affair with a man outside her home.

I'm afraid it has already become known to everyone.

But now that the Gu family has done something wrong to Song Wanyin, she is unwilling to help anymore.

I’m afraid that the Gu family will become famous throughout the entire Shangjing City.”

The lady had a heart attack and nearly died.

"Sister He, I am very disappointed in you.

You have caused such a disaster, how will the Gu family end up? "

Gu Qinghe knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and sobbed:

"Mother, you have always been partial to my eldest brother, and you have always been considerate and thoughtful of him.

Have you taken care of me since my father died?

I just have someone I like, I didn't kill anyone, is this so unforgivable?"

Gu Zeqian paced back and forth in the hall. Seeing that she was not ashamed and even dared to be stubborn, he angrily scolded:

"Gu Qinghe, you even studied in a private school, do you understand how shameless you are?

Your behavior has seriously damaged the reputation of the entire Gu family.

According to the family rules handed down from our ancestors, you will be sentenced to death by a white silk ribbon."

Gu Zecheng sat on the left and said with a look of regret:

"Gu Qinghe, you are sorry for your deceased father.

You are even more sorry to the ancestors of the Gu family.

How long have you been meeting secretly with Wu Shaoze?

After all, he was born out of wedlock and was not favored in the mansion.

He idles away all day long, does not work, is lazy and indulges in wine and women.

He is not a good man. If you marry him in the future, you will suffer."

Gu Qinghe felt very aggrieved and cried:

"Second uncle, Shaoze is not that kind of person. He promised me that he would get married first and then start a career.

After he marries me, he will work hard to achieve fame and fortune.

Get a position in the court and give a slap in the face to those who once looked down on him."

The lady held the wooden cane and knocked it hard on the ground a few times, saying in great sorrow:

“Since ancient times, a girl’s reputation has been as important as her life.

You and Wu Shaoze are together without the permission of your parents or the words of a matchmaker.

How could you just give your virginity to him so easily?

You are just trying to piss me off to death. How can I face your father in a hundred years?"

Gu Qinghe still did not repent and stubbornly retorted:

“Mother, with your perspective, you don’t even think highly of Shaoze.

You despise the poor and love the rich, which means you despise his status as a bastard.

Although he is the fifth child in the family, he is not inferior to anyone.

Anyway, he and I have already settled the matter, and I will not marry anyone else in this life.

You'd better prepare my dowry quickly and put the wedding on the agenda as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I will hold the wedding after I become more pregnant.

By then, I will lose face and dignity, and people outside will definitely talk about me."

Seeing that she had no sense of shame, the lady was almost mad with anger:

"Madam Gui, I will punish her according to the family rules. I will beat her to death today, this disgraceful thing."

The Second Madam quickly stopped him and said:

“Sister-in-law, even if you beat her to death, it will be of no use.

The most urgent task is to quickly think of a way to resolve this scandal.

If it really doesn't work, let's shamelessly go to the residence of the Chief Censor and see if we can arrange this marriage as soon as possible.

So as not to make others laugh at you."

The Third Lady immediately retorted:

"That won't do. Our Gu family is a well-known and prominent family in the capital.

How can you ask others to marry a girl from the Gu family?

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse, making the Wu family look down on our Gu family?

Second sister-in-law, you are simply shooting yourself in the foot.

Don't forget, besides He Jie'er, there is also the unmarried Zhi Jie'er.

How can you let Zhijieer marry into a wealthy family in the future, the legitimate son of Duke Yingguo, Chu Hexuan?"

Gu Qinghe made up his mind and said stubbornly:

"I have made up my mind. No matter whether my mother agrees or not, I will marry Wu Shaoze.

If not, my mother would just beat me to death for being such an unfilial daughter."

Gu Zeqian saw that she was stubborn and was so angry that he wanted to take off his shoes and beat her:

"Are you looking for a fight?

I tell you, the marriage of children is entirely decided by their parents, and it is not your turn to have a say."

At this time, Gu Qingchen limped in, leaning on a bamboo stick and supported by a servant.

"Mother, I just heard that the streets are full of rumors that my second sister was caught having an affair with a man outside her family.

Is this true?"

When Gu Qinghe saw her brother coming, she lost her stubbornness and started crying:

“Brother, please save me.

My mother said I was a disgrace to the family and wanted to beat me to death.

Wu Shaoze and I are truly in love, and we have already had physical contact.

Instead of breaking up this star-crossed couple, why don't you just help us get together? "

Gu Qingchen slapped her in the face with an angry look:

"Don't call me big brother, I'm not your big brother.

Do you know how people outside are talking about you?

Just one spit from each person is enough to drown you and the entire Gu family.

You have caused me to lose all face and I cannot even hold my head up in the court. You deserve to die!"

The slap was not light. Gu Qinghe fell to the ground, half of her face became red and swollen instantly. She said with tears streaming down her face:

“You hit me?

Just for the sake of your own career path, you can just ignore my life or death?

Why can you make the unmarried Jiang Lanyue pregnant, but I can't give myself to Wu Shaoze?

You have done a lot of things that have brought disgrace to our family and damaged its reputation.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." I learned this from you.

I've had enough of this family. At worst, I'll just run away from home and cut off all ties with the Gu family from now on!"

Gu Qinghe got up from the ground, covered his face and ran outside, but was stopped by two servants at the door.

"How dare you, you bold servant, stop me?"

Gu Qingchen was furious and said:

"Someone, tie her up for me.

Gu Qinghe, your body and hair are given by your parents.

If you really want to completely sever ties with the Gu family, then you should return this life.

The Gu family will give you a free soul."
