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

Gu Qingchen tossed and turned in his house, unable to sleep or eat. The last time he witnessed Jiang Lanyue seeing him off in a carriage, he still had many doubts.

Although Jiang Lanyue later had a miscarriage, the matter was left unresolved.

But he also secretly investigated and found that no distant cousins ​​had visited the Earl's Mansion recently.

What secret does Jiang Lanyue have that she has to hide from him?

He thought about this over and over again, but it was still like a tangled mess that he couldn't cut or sort out.

However, the most urgent thing was that he planned to find an opportunity to explain the accident at the birthday banquet to the Earl's Mansion and let them see that he sincerely wanted to marry Jiang Lanyue.

The wedding must be held as scheduled. As long as Jiang Lanyue can give birth to the child, everything will be easy.

As the sky gradually darkened, the big red lanterns in the mansion gradually lit up, echoing the crescent moon in the sky, illuminating the entire mansion like daylight.

Gu Qingchen was concerned about his mother's condition, so he prepared some nutritional supplements and went to Suxinyuan to visit his mother.

In the Suxin Garden, green smoke was curling up from the colorful cloud incense burner. The old lady was half lying and half leaning on the bed, wearing a headband on her head, sighing all day long.

"It's unfortunate for my family, it's unfortunate for my family.

I am old and useless, and now my children have grown up. They all have their own opinions and are deliberately trying to go against me.

I can hardly protect myself now, so naturally I can't take care of them.

A hundred years after I pass away, this Marquisate will ultimately have to rely on Brother Chen to support it.

Let him do what he wants."

Aunt Gui advised with a sad face:

"Madam, please relax, the Marquis has his own plans.

Although there were many problems at this birthday party, it has already happened, so don't dwell on it, lest you make things worse for yourself."

Gu Qingchen pushed the door open and walked in. The smell of Chinese medicine hit his nose. He frowned, put down the nutritional supplements, walked to the bed, knelt down and apologized:

“Mother, I am an unfilial son. I have brought shame to the Gu family and caused you to fall ill.

The son swore to his mother that he would work hard in the future, make amends for his crime, and make the Gu family proud. "

When the lady saw him, she felt both love and hate for him. She sighed and said:

"Stand up and talk. I've told you so many times that a man's knees are made of gold."

Gu Qingchen then slowly stood up and said truthfully:

"Mother, your son has decided to go to the palace to meet with the emperor and ask for your permission to bring the remaining rebels in the capital to justice.

As long as the son makes achievements, all the rumors will disappear.

Let's see who dares to stab the Gu family in the back and make irresponsible remarks in the future."

When the lady heard this, a gleam of light flashed across her cloudy eyes, and she waved her hand to signal him to sit down and talk:

"Brother Chen, tell me the truth, did you take away and sell the lost house and land deeds?"

Gu Qingchen looked determined and said seriously:

"Mother, I didn't do this, you really wronged me.

The son admitted that he had indeed found a buyer privately, hoping to collect enough money for the bride price to solve his immediate urgent problem.

This matter is full of strange things, and my son has no idea either. Why do they insist that it was my son who did it?

The affairs of my fourth brother and third uncle's money shop were completely out of character.

With Fourth Brother's intelligence, he could never think of such a clever idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone.

And those so-called witnesses, instead, seemed to be instructed by someone to deliberately throw the basin of dirty water on us at the birthday party.

Someone must be trying to use this opportunity to create internal strife within the Gu family."

The lady had thought about it carefully over the past two days and felt that everything was too coincidental, as if it had been planned long ago.

"Brother Chen, in your opinion, who would be behind the murder of the Gu family?"

Gu Qingchen's eyes were deep, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Mother, I think it must have been Song Wanyin who did it.

Apart from her, who else would know everything about the Gu family? "

The lady was enlightened. Considering that Gu Qingchen was the hope of the Gu family, she could only forgive him and offered advice:

"Brother Chen, the Gu family is now completely controlled by Song Wanyin.

As the pillar of the Gu family and a dignified marquis, how can you condescend to a woman like her?

In my opinion, you might as well just write a divorce letter and take away all of Song Wanyin's dowry.

It was obvious that she had committed one of the seven unvirtuous acts for women, and no one could accuse the Gu family of anything wrong.

By then, the Gu family will have more money, and you can marry Lan Yue in style."

Gu Qingchen frowned and said:

"Mother, I did think about divorcing Song Wanyin, but I had no evidence and was afraid of being criticized.

If this matter were to reach the ears of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, it would probably affect his son's career path.

Therefore, the son originally planned to divorce Song Wanyin after finding evidence against her.

This way, if the Queen Mother and His Majesty blame me, my son will have something to say."

The lady asked doubtfully:

"Have you found any evidence against Song Wanyin?"

Gu Qingchen pondered for a moment and said truthfully:

"Mother, I now fully suspect that Song Wanyin is having a secret meeting with another man.

I still remember the incident involving my second sister. My son also privately consulted his two uncles about the cause and effect.

It is said that the two uncles heard the news and planned to catch Song Wanyin on the day of the temple fair.

But who would have thought that they would catch their own people.

It also caused my second sister, a perfectly healthy person, to go crazy."

"What? Meeting a stranger in private?"

The lady's pupils suddenly shrank, and she said in disbelief:

"When did this happen? How come I don't know anything about it?

Is the news accurate? Based on this alone, the Gu family has every reason to divorce Song Wanyin.

I thought she would stay at home and behave herself, but I didn't expect her to have an affair outside. It's a great shame."

Seeing that his mother was getting more and more agitated, Gu Qingchen quickly rubbed her back and comforted her:

"Mother, don't worry, since Song Wanyin is determined to go against the Gu family.

The son will stick with you till the end.

My son plans to draft a divorce letter tonight, and when the time is right, he will go to Song Wanyin to talk it out."

Seeing that he finally showed some courage, the lady said with relief:

“Well, you have blood, it’s time to do this.

Brother Chen, the Gu family has done their best for Song Wanyin. If you want to blame someone, blame her own poor pregnancy.

I have only one request of you, and that is to withhold all of Song Wanyin's dowry and not leave a single cent for her."

Gu Qingchen felt a little guilty when he heard this. After all, he was a grown man and it was unacceptable for him to rely too much on a woman's dowry.

If this gets out, it will be despicable and people might even think he is a gigolo.

"Mother, I have thought about this, in order to prevent others from gossiping.

As for the dowry, the son planned to only keep 80% from Song Wanyin, leaving 20% ​​for her to live on.

I can't leave her nothing, in case she becomes desperate and does something desperate.

As a husband and wife, I have fulfilled my final responsibilities and obligations as a husband.

The son decided to send someone to his hometown in Gusu tonight to invite the elders of the Song family to be witnesses.

After all, divorcing a wife is no small matter, and the Song family must send someone, otherwise they will say that the Gu family is bullying Song Wanyin because she has no support from her family. "
