Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian looked at each other with disbelief, but they could not produce any evidence to prove that she was lying.

You can't just confess without being punished, otherwise you will end up shooting yourself in the foot.

The lady waved amiably, motioning her to sit down on the chair beside her.

"Wan Yin, I came to you today to discuss He Jie'er's marriage with you."

Song Wanyin said calmly:

"Why is Gu Qinghe suddenly talking about marriage?"

The lady was a little embarrassed to speak, and smiled awkwardly:

"He Jie'er and Wu Shaoze from the Censor-in-Chief's family have always been in love with each other.

I thought she was old enough to get married, so I wanted to arrange the marriage with the Wu family."

Song Wanyin glanced at Gu Qinghe. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and her face looked like a little kitten from crying.

No need to guess, everyone knows what she just went through.

It seems that the Gu family finally softened their hearts. In order to save face and protect Gu Qinghe, they specially asked her to come and clean up the mess.

She knew everything about Gu Qinghe and Wu Shaoze's secret meeting, and told Nanny Wei to keep a close eye on her every move.

He also instructed Bai Shaobo to closely track all of Wu Shaoze's itineraries.

She knew that Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian, because of the pain of losing their son, would definitely be bewitched by the villain and want to kill her.

That's why she set up a chess game and played a big game with them.

"It's up to my mother-in-law to decide on the engagement. I have no objection."

The lady hesitated for a long time and said earnestly:

"Wan Yin, you used to be in charge of the housekeeping affairs.

Since I have been in charge of the family these days, I realized how difficult your life is.

It is my blessing to have such a good daughter-in-law like you.

My eye disease is very serious now, and I have been unable to find a secret recipe to cure my disease. I am feeling a little overwhelmed as the head of the household.

So I hope you can put aside the past grudges and continue to be the head of the household. After all, you are the head mistress of the Marquis's mansion."

Song Wanyin politely refused:

"Mother-in-law, if the Gu family doesn't make up for the shortfall in my dowry, I will be nothing more than a decoration as the mistress of the house.

What's more, Gu Qingchen is going to marry a second wife soon, so it's just right to let Jiang Lanyue take charge of the household."

Seeing her bringing up Jiang Lanyue for no reason, Gu Qingchen thought of what she had done recently and said with dissatisfaction:

"Song Wanyin, stop talking about Lan Yue.

Mother asked you to come here because she hoped you could take out some money to buy a dowry for He Jie'er."

Song Wanyin smiled calmly and said:

"Sure, how much dowry do you need? Something as grand and magnificent as the Ten Mile Red Wedding?"

When the lady heard this, her eyes lit up. She didn't expect that she had suddenly changed her personality and became so easy to talk to.

It seems that she can bleed more this time.

“Wan Yin, as the eldest sister-in-law, you are able to put aside past grudges and consider your younger brothers and sisters. I am really touched.

You also know that the Gu family is a well-known and prominent family, and Brother Chen made outstanding military achievements some time ago.

This kind of ceremony is of course necessary, at least it has to be as glorious as when you married into the Gu family.

In this way, He Jie'er will not be looked down upon by the Wu family when she marries into the Wu family, and at least she will not be wronged in the future."

The Third Lady was surprised:

"Each item of Song Wanyin's dowry is a priceless treasure. If we were to buy an identical dowry for He Jie'er, it would cost a huge amount of money.

Sister-in-law, since Song Wanyin's family is well-off, can you ask her to buy one for my Lan Jie?

No matter what, Lan Jie'er also calls her sister-in-law, so we can't favor one over the other, right?"

The Second Lady was also moved by this and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

"In that case, my sister Xin will also call her sister-in-law. It seems that she is old enough to get married.

Song Wanyin might as well buy it all at once."

Seeing that each of them was more greedy than the other, Song Wanyin said calmly:

"Mother-in-law, the dowry is not a problem, then let Gu Qingchen write me an IOU.

With the joint witness of the elders, all the properties under the name of the Marquis were mortgaged to me.

As soon as I got back, I started drawing up a dowry list for Gu Qinghe.

As for my second aunt and third aunt, it’s not impossible for me to help them buy their dowries.

But you need to hand over all the shares and shops under your name to me.

We will make a written agreement, sign and seal it, and it will take effect immediately."

The three ladies' faces looked uglier than each other. They didn't expect that she would go through such a long detour to set a trap for them.

The Third Lady said angrily:

"Song Wanyin, what do you mean?

I know that you have some evil thoughts in your mind. You are still thinking about the shop of the third room.

It was because of these two shops that you killed my son.

Give me back my son's life!"

Seeing that she was emotional and wanted to hurt herself, Song Wanyin said fearlessly:

"That was Gu Yongsheng's own fault, he deserves to die.

Besides, you parents value money more than anything else and are unwilling to spend money to save your son.

Instead, they blamed me, an outsider. "

When Gu Zeqian mentioned this matter, he became furious and threatened viciously:

"Song Wanyin, you owe me a life, you must pay it back sooner or later!"

Gu Qingchen was so annoyed that he slammed the table, and the whole place fell silent instantly.

"enough!

Song Wanyin, just give up on this idea. Even if I have to sell my property at a low price, I will never give it to you.

As for IOUs, I won’t write them.

From now on, our Gu family's affairs have nothing to do with you."

Song Wanyin was more than happy about it. She didn't have to continue cleaning up the mess and could just relax and enjoy herself.

Seeing that her son was confused, the lady immediately came out to smooth things over:

"Wan Yin, we can discuss this matter, but the most urgent thing is to find a way to finalize this marriage with the Wu family."

Seeing that she did not help him, Gu Qinghe could not help but rub salt into her wounds and said:

"Song Wanyin, we are both women. Your own marriage is unhappy, so you can't bear to see others have happiness?"

The moment Song Wanyin raised her eyes, her eyes were cold and she chuckled:

"Gu Qinghe, we are different.

Given the character of the Chief Censor, he would never allow Wu Shaoze to marry a shameless woman.

Lord Wu and my father had met before, and I knew his character.

What he always disliked the most was his useless son Wu Shaoze.

If he knew that Wu Shaoze was having an affair with you behind your back.

It is estimated that Wu Shaoze has been beaten to death by now.

Who else do you expect to marry you?

If the Wu family refuses to accept you, your fate will be death.

Don't expect your parents' home to be your lifelong support.

No man will ever want you in your life.

It is tragic for a woman who cannot find true love. "

Seeing that every word she said hit the nail on the head, Gu Qinghe completely collapsed, covering his ears and making a sharp sound:

"Ah! Stop it, stop it!"

Seeing that she was eloquent and that the whole family was no match for her, Gu Zecheng got straight to the point:

"Song Wanyin, you said you caught a cold, then why did your third uncle and I see you at the temple fair?

I also seemed to see you and a man talking and laughing on the street. How do you explain it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at her with disbelief and questioning.

Some were shocked, some were angry, and some just wanted to watch the fun.

Song Wanyin, who had foreseen the situation, hummed softly:

“Second uncle, third uncle, you came prepared to follow me.

Do you want to accuse me of having an affair with a man outside of my family?"
