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

The Marquis's mansion was completely ransacked, as if it had been robbed; all the valuable items were taken away.

If Song Wanyin had not shown mercy and only took away the shortfall of her dowry, she would have lost the entire mansion.

The mansions of the once noble and dignitaries have become desolate and deserted, with no one around, as if they had been hollowed out.

The maids and servants in the mansion were also dismissed by Gu Qingchen, and they had packed up their bedding and fled from this place of trouble.

Nanny Gui was also hurriedly packing her bags and was about to slip away, but was caught red-handed by Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen saw her hide the bag behind her in fear, saw through her thoughts at a glance, and said:

"Madam Gui, the Gu family treats you well. I hope you can stay and serve my mother."

Aunt Gui looked embarrassed. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. She was unwilling to stay and stammered:

"My Lord, I am old now, and I am not able to serve the Madam anymore."

Gu Qingchen's eyes were cold and he threatened:

"Madame Gui, I am not discussing this with you now.

Since you insist on leaving the house, I won't stop you.

However, you should carefully consider whether you can leave peacefully. "

Nanny Gui was frightened and naturally understood what he meant. She was forced to compromise:

"My Lord, I will go and make medicine for the Madam right away."

Gu Qingchen came to the dormitory to visit her unconscious mother. Her face was pale and bloodless, and his hatred for Song Wanyin deepened.

"Song Wanyin, is this the result you want?

Don't be too proud, I will be able to make a comeback sooner or later."

He began to think about his next plan in his mind. Now that there was such a big mess in the Marquis's Mansion, the Earl's Mansion must have heard about it.

Now that the wedding is approaching, I can’t afford the bride price.

However, we still have to find a way to hold the wedding as scheduled. Once Jiang Lanyue marries into the Gu family, the Jiang family will have to provide some subsidies.

After ten months of pregnancy, Jiang Lanyue gave birth to the Gu family's descendants, and the Jiang family had even less to say.

He could use this period of time to make a transition and ensure that the Marquisate could survive.

Then he would go to the palace to meet the emperor and ask for permission to make up for his crime and make up for his lost time. This time he planned to burn his boats and make great achievements to bring honor to his family.

In the future, when he has achieved success and been promoted to a higher position, he will have the ability and strength to seek revenge from the Taiwei Mansion and avenge his previous humiliation.

Gu Qingchen soon arrived at the Earl's Mansion and asked for a meeting. The old earl and Madam Jiang were not happy about his arrival.

The old man's face was so long that he almost collapsed to the ground. He said unhappily:

"My Lord, have you settled all the issues in your mansion?

Lan Yue is pregnant now, and she cannot have extreme mood swings, as this would be detrimental to the growth of the fetus.

It’s best if you don’t meet again during this period of time.”

Gu Qingchen bowed and said:

"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, I came here today to apologize to you two elders."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang laughed softly and said in a sarcastic tone:

"My Lord, we dare not blame you. After all, every family has its own problems.

When you have cleaned up the mess at home, our two families can discuss the follow-up matters calmly. "

Gu Qingchen immediately expressed his opinion:

"Aunt Jiang, to be honest, I have divorced Song Wanyin. From now on, we are no longer connected and will never see each other again, regardless of life or death.

As long as Lan Yue marries in, she will definitely be the mistress of the Marquisate, and there will be no more threats."

Upon hearing this, the old uncle and Madam Jiang were shocked and felt very complicated, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

They were married for three years and broke up just like that. Their relationship was as thin as a cicada's wing. I'm really afraid that my daughter will repeat the same mistake after she gets married.

Madam Jiang asked doubtfully:

"Divorce? Shouldn't it be divorce?

How did you deal with Song Wanyin's dowry?"

Gu Qingchen said truthfully:

"Because it was His Majesty who personally ordered the divorce, Song Wanyin's dowry was naturally taken away in full, leaving nothing behind."

Hearing this, the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and paced back and forth in the main hall, scolding unceremoniously:

"She took all the dowry away, so your Marquis's Mansion is just an empty shell, right?

If Lan Yue marries him in the future, will you let her and her child starve to death and live a hard life with you?"

Madam Jiang frowned and immediately objected:

"That won't work. My Lan Yue has been spoiled since she was little, and she has never had to deal with women. I can't marry her and become the mother of your family, can I?

According to what you said, you can't even take out the betrothal money, and we will regret this marriage."

Gu Qingchen had long anticipated that they would oppose this marriage, and immediately expressed his position:

“I beg you two to relax. Lan Yue will never suffer if she marries me. I will let them and their son live a life of endless wealth and glory.

I am determined to ask Your Majesty for permission to redeem myself from my crimes, for what our dynasty lacks most is military generals.

Whether it is martial arts or strategy, I have a record to prove my achievements. The court is in need of talents right now, and Your Majesty will never hide me.

Once I have accomplished a great deed, His Majesty will certainly show leniency and forgive my mistakes.

By then, I will surely be promoted to a higher position, and be rewarded with gold, silver, jewelry, manors, fields, and shops."

The old man's eyes lit up. What he said was indeed reasonable. Perhaps after this heavy blow, he would be able to work hard and make a comeback.

"My Lord, it's a good thing to have ambition, but I just want to ask you one thing.

Regardless of the future, you have nothing now. How can you ensure the happiness of your baby and the unborn child?"

Madam Jiang suddenly sneered:

"My Lord, don't blame us for being too snobbish. Although we are not worldly, we are not immune to worldly things.

As a parent, everyone hopes that their children have a happy marriage. Since you can't guarantee that you can give Lan Yue the life she wants.

Then we naturally don’t want to marry our daughter to you. It would be very sad for us to see her live a life of hardship and suffering with you.”

These words and sentences turned into sharp blades, piercing Gu Qingchen's heart full of holes. It was bleeding silently and he lost all face.

Gu Qingchen had no choice but to use his ultimate move and said in a loud voice:

“The younger generation can understand the feelings of the two elders.

However, Lan Yue is now pregnant with Gu family's child, and the child should be recognized as an ancestral figure after birth.

Could it be that the two elders want to break up our family of three?"

Seeing that he still dared to threaten him, the old man frowned and said angrily:

"You are so heartless to say that. It was you who got my daughter pregnant.

I haven't even come to settle accounts with you yet, but you're using the child as a threat.

To tell you the truth, I have already found a doctor to find a time to help Lan Yue have an abortion."

Gu Qingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he didn't dare to continue to anger the two elders. The only strategy now was to delay the war:

"Please calm down, elders. I will definitely take practical actions to prove to you that the Gu family will make a comeback!"
