When the four elders heard the word "divorce", they were shocked. They originally came here today to denounce Gu Qingchen and Gu Qingye, but they didn't expect that they would have to witness Gu Qingchen divorcing his wife together.

When they thought of the fact that Song Wanyin was, after all, the legitimate daughter of the former Grand Marshal, the grand scene of her wedding was still vivid in their minds.

If he really divorces his wife, wouldn't the Gu family lose both the wife and the army?

After thinking it over, Elder Nan said:

"Does it have to go to the extent of divorcing your wife?

The eldest wife should think carefully about what to do with Chen Ge'er's career path after divorcing his wife. "

Elder Xi was also quite worried:

"I heard that the eldest wife is already struggling financially, how are you going to survive after you divorce me?

Even if you don't think about your own lives, you have to consider the livelihoods of the other families.

After all, the eldest wife can still rely on Song Wanyin's dowry, and can occasionally help the other wives.

This is the only way out, Chen Ge'er better think twice before acting."

Gu Qingchen had already thought of a way out, and answered respectfully:

"I plan to withhold 80% of Song Wanyin's dowry and let her take only 20% so that she can at least have food to eat in the future."

Gu Zeqian heard this and shouted:

"What? Only 80%? No, we must deduct all of it. Don't leave her a penny. Make her leave the house with nothing.

She had already committed one of the seven offenses against women, so the Gu family had every reason to withhold her entire dowry.

Gu Qingchen, no matter what happened at the money house, I don’t care whether you were the ones who did it or not.

You must subsidize some of the losses of the third room, so that I can get through this difficult time first.

Even if we break bones, we still have tendons."

Gu Zecheng was in mixed emotions. He was shocked that his eldest wife would ask for a divorce.

"Gu Qingchen, you have to think carefully, as the saying goes, one wrong step leads to all the wrong steps.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Don't wait until then, or you will regret it for the rest of your life.

After all, everything you have today is thanks to what the former general gave you.

Aren't you afraid that the former Grand Marshal's subordinates will trip you up in the court?

After all, if you fall, not only will the second and third rooms be implicated, but you will also no longer be able to help us.

By then, how can we gain a foothold in Shangjing City?"

Gu Qingchen said with a firm look:

"Uncles, don't worry, even if we divorce Song Wanyin, the Gu family will not suffer any loss.

Because I plan to make amends for my crime, as long as I accomplish outstanding achievements, His Majesty will definitely change his mind about me and use me.

There will definitely be a lot of rewards in the future, and by then the Marquisate will be even more glorious than it is now."

This sentence completely dispelled the concerns of the four elders and the second and third branches.

Right now, the entire Gu family is counting on Gu Qingchen to serve as an official in the court, make outstanding contributions, and be valued by His Majesty.

Once the reward from His Majesty is received, the whole family will benefit from it, and any difficulties can be solved by the first wife.

The second and third wives sat aside in silence, each with their own thoughts, each wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

After all, Song Wanyin's dowry list was visible to everyone, and everyone knew exactly what priceless treasures were on it.

Just say a few words to help Gu Qingchen when he divorces his wife later.

Maybe afterwards, you can ask for something valuable to take back, so it will be worth the trip.

At the same time, the people from the Song family arrived as promised after several days of rapid travel.

The visitor was Song Wanyin's cousin Song Xingzhou, who came with his wife and two sons.

Song Xingzhou looked at the Gu family who had all arrived at once and said calmly:

"My father was ill and could not be present, so he asked me to come as a witness."

Ever since my father Song Yanli received a letter from the Marquis's Mansion and learned that Gu Qingchen wanted to divorce his wife, he was so angry that he fell ill.

In desperation, as the eldest son, he came to the appointment on behalf of his father to support Song Wanyin.

Mrs. Song was also a woman. When she saw the situation in the Gu family, she realized that Song Wanyin had suffered a lot of grievances in the Gu family, and she was extremely angry.

However, when it comes to major issues, she is knowledgeable, sophisticated, and never shows her emotions.

Gu Qingchen saw the Song family coming and immediately went forward to greet them, invited them to take a seat, then turned to the servant and instructed:

"Go and invite the mistress here quickly."

But who would have thought that as soon as the servant turned around, Song Wanyin had already appeared, dressed gorgeously, with such a stunning beauty that captivated everyone.

She had heard from Nanny Wei that Gu Qingchen was planning to divorce her today, so she changed into new clothes.

She, who has never paid much attention to dressing up, put on a little makeup. Wherever she stood, she looked like a fairy descending to earth, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

She came here today not to wait to be divorced by Gu Qingchen, but to take the initiative and divorce her husband in an unprecedented and domineering manner.

Although I have not yet received His Majesty's order, now that things have come to this point, I must seize the upper hand and never let anyone manipulate me.

Gu Qingchen was mesmerized by her beauty and suddenly felt his heart pounding, as if he remembered the scene when he first met Song Wanyin.

It can be said that a single smile can bring out all the charm.

Ever since Song Wanyin married into the mansion, he had been away from home for three years and had long forgotten her voice and appearance.

Now when I see her beautiful face, the past events come to my mind vividly.

All the sweetness before marriage turned into sharp blades after marriage. The two people who once loved each other eventually became enemies.

When Song Wanyin saw her cousin, she felt very complicated. She hadn't seen her relative for more than three years.

My father, Song Yanshu, had eight brothers and sisters. Some died, some fell ill, and some dispersed. Only my second uncle is still alive in this world, but he is over 70 years old.

At present, only the second uncle's lineage is in charge of the Song family genealogy and shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the Song family.

She stepped forward, nodded and said:

"Cousin, cousin, I haven't seen you for three years. It's all Wan Yin's fault that you came all the way here today."

Tiancheng followed closely behind and greeted the two of them, standing behind her master in tears.

Now that's good, my master also has his family to support him.

Song Xingzhou had indeed not seen this cousin for a long time, so he stepped forward and asked with concern:

"Wan Yin, you have lost a lot of weight and your complexion is not good. You have suffered here.

When the evening breeze is gone, I will be your support. Let’s see who dares to bully you.

Do you really think there is no one left in our Song family?"

Madam Song immediately stepped forward, pulled her over and looked at her carefully, she cried with heartache:

"Wan Yin, relax. If the Gu family really wants to divorce you, then our Song family is not easy to mess with.

Now that your cousin is a Hanlin scholar, the Song family also has a lineage of officials serving in the court, so there is no need to be afraid of the power of the Marquis's Mansion.

All the sacrifices you have made for the Gu family over the years, I want you to get back everything that is owed to you!"

The two little nephews were also filled with righteous indignation and stood up to defend Song Wanyin.

"Aunt, I'm grown up now and can take care of you. You can come back to live with us in our hometown."

"Aunt, since they don't care about you, then this place is not worth your lingering. Let them all regret it later."

With the support of her mother's family, Song Wanyin felt more confident and warm at heart.

So he turned to look at Gu Qingchen and sneered:

"Gu Qingchen, I heard that you want to divorce me?

Is this the ultimate move you’ve been holding back on for so long?

So what crime have I committed?"
