Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce

Dingguo Gongfu.

Ji Nanzheng returned triumphantly after winning a great victory, which was a huge happy event for the Duke's Mansion. More than ten members of the family were waiting eagerly at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

When Ji Nanzheng got off the horse, the Duke's wife rushed over and hugged Ji Nanzheng tightly.

"My Zheng'er..." The Duke's wife was choked with sobs and unable to speak.

She gave birth to 6 sons, Ji Nanzheng was the best and the one she was most proud of. When Ji Nanzheng was in the frontier, she was frightened every day, worried that the swords would be merciless. Now that he finally came back healthy, the Duke's wife burst into tears.

Ji Nanzheng was deeply touched when he looked at his long-lost relatives.

Throughout history, few men have ever returned from the battlefields, and dying on the battlefield is the fate of many soldiers. At this moment, he was once again grateful to fate for allowing him to return with victory and a healthy body.

"Mother, Father, I'm back."

The family returned to the house, and Ji Nanzheng knelt down to pay homage to his parents.

The Duke's wife's long-standing longing and worry turned into endless tears. Fortunately, she was comforted by several daughters-in-law around her.

"Zheng'er, regarding your marriage, the emperor has not made things difficult for you, has he?"

His son has returned safely. The Duke is no longer most concerned about his son, but his son's marriage, which is a big deal.

They had reached a consensus through letters before, waiting for Ji Nanzheng to return triumphantly to reject the marriage proposal in person. The emperor valued talents, and Ji Nanzheng had military merits, so they all knew that the emperor would not really embarrass Ji Nanzheng for rejecting the marriage proposal, but since it was related to the emperor, they were somewhat worried before the matter was settled.

"Son, I agree to the arranged marriage." Ji Nanzheng hesitated a little.

"What?" Ji Nanzheng's words were like a bolt from the blue. The Duke's wife, who had just stopped crying, couldn't believe it.

"Cousin, how can you agree to this?" Wang Sijun jumped from the crowd to Ji Nanzheng, opened her big round eyes, and angrily glared at Ji Nanzheng, "I don't agree!"

Ji Nanzheng's cold and handsome eyes fell on Wang Sijun's face, and he said: "It is difficult to disobey the king's order."

"I don't believe it." Wang Sijun shouted angrily, "When my cousin refused to marry Princess Jingyi, why didn't he think that it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order?"

Ji Nanzheng looked away and looked at his old father and mother: "Father, mother, things are different now."

Ji Nanzheng's words were an explanation to the two elders. The Duke immediately understood. Before Ji Nanzheng had not recovered Huajiang, the emperor needed him. Now that Huajiang has been recovered, he was afraid that the good bows would be hidden when the birds are gone.

Have to guard against it.

The Duke felt distressed and patted Ji Nanzheng on the shoulder: "Zheng'er, I'm sorry for wronging you."

The Duke's wife naturally understood what that meant. Like the Duke, she felt that her son had been wronged, and she hated Wan Zhou even more.

If Gu Wanzhou hadn't intervened, his son wouldn't have suffered such injustice.

It won't disrupt her plans.

Ji Nanzheng is the most promising among her sons. The future glory of the Ji family lies in Ji Nanzheng, and this glory will be left to her niece Wang Sijun.

To put it bluntly, Gu Wanzhou's biological mother was just a merchant's daughter, and her father was only a fifth-rank official. If she became her son's concubine, she could only have the status of a good concubine, not even the title of a noble concubine.

Now she wants to be the legal wife?

Mrs. Wang was both hateful and angry.

Her heart was filled with great joy at her son's triumphant return, but it was all ruined by Gu Wanzhou.

Perhaps it was because Mrs. Wang was secretly cursing Wan Zhou in her heart that she suddenly sneezed right after receiving the imperial edict far away in Gu Mansion.

Of course she would never think that someone was scolding her, she was just happy.

The emperor's reward has arrived.

Gu Lian was originally a fifth-rank captain. Now that he has returned triumphantly, and with the support of Wan Zhou's donation, the emperor directly promoted him to the third-rank position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

For a man, what could be more gratifying than being promoted to a higher position? Seeing the joy and emotion in his father's eyes, Wan Zhou was happy for his father from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang was even happier.

Third grade?

The third rank is the watershed for officials in the capital.

For example, when the princes and dukes hold a flower-viewing party, officials below the third rank will not be invited unless they have some background.

But it’s different for the third rank. Even if you are a naked third rank official without any foundation, those dukes and marquisates will send you invitations.

Now that Gu Lian has been promoted to the third rank, it means that in the future, when the noble ladies in the mansions of dukes and marquises hold tea parties, flower viewing parties, and other such gatherings, they will invite Jiang, and she will officially join the upper class.

And her children will have more and better choices in the marriage market.

Jiang was delighted. As soon as the palace maids left, she smiled and flattered Gu Lian.

He was even generous enough to ask the butler to add more food to the servants, and then he hurriedly left everyone behind to take care of the preparations.

All the busy people had left, leaving Gu Wanyu and Wan Zhou, who was about to leave, in the yard.

"Big sister, why are you so mean?" Just as Wan Zhou was about to leave, Gu Wanyu questioned her with red eyes.

It was for no other reason than that along with Gu Lian’s reward, the emperor also personally set the wedding date.

Wan Zhou and Ji Nanzheng’s wedding date.

Two months later, on October 18th.

She was secretly delighted that Ji Nanzheng had rejected her marriage proposal, and the good news of her father's promotion made her even more happy.

Today was the happiest day of her life! But the next moment, she heard Wan Zhou's wedding date.

It feels like when you reach out to embrace the sun, a heavy rain falls on your head.

It was the kind of sudden chill that caught me off guard.

She hated it, she was in pain, she felt like her heart was breaking.

The happier I was before, the more hatred and pain I feel now.

Gu Wanzhou, why does she do that?

It is obvious that she is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or needlework. She is too petty and not presentable. How can she be worthy of the honor?

She even scolded Ji Nanzheng, saying he was blind and a coward for not even daring to resist an arranged marriage.

Although she could have had better choices after her father was promoted, looking at the entire Yan Kingdom, who could be better than Ji Nanzheng?

She is better than Gu Wanzhou in every way, but she is going to marry someone worse than her. She is unwilling to accept this!

Gu Wanyu bit her lips tightly and stared at Wanzhou. Hatred and hurt made her eyes red.

Ji Nanzheng clearly did not refuse the marriage proposal, but Gu Wanzhou deliberately made her misunderstand.

If there hadn't been the previous misunderstanding, there wouldn't have been that wild excitement, and there would have been less pain and hatred at this moment.

Gu Wanzhou did it on purpose, she hated him so much.

Wan Zhou glanced at Gu Wanyu calmly, and said with a smile: "I feel bad for making my second sister so sad."

Wan Zhou's nonchalant attitude made Gu Wanyu, who was red with jealousy, even more crazy. She said aggressively, "Big sister is going to marry General Ji, so now you are so arrogant?"

Wan Zhou couldn't help but rolled his eyes coldly, "Whatever you say is what it is."

After that, he left.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to pay any attention to Gu Wanyu anymore.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, she met Jiang Xuan.

Oh, you came just in time. Gu Wanyu was just worried about where to vent her anger.

"Mr. Jiang, are you here to see my second sister?" Wan Zhou asked with a smile.

"Congratulations, Sister Wanzhou." Jiang Xuan said politely, but there was no sincerity in his eyes.

Like Gu Wanyu, he thought that Gu Wanzhou was not worthy of Ji Nanzheng and that Ji Nanzheng would definitely refuse the marriage proposal, waiting to see Wanzhou make a fool of himself.

That way, the frustration in his heart would be balanced to some extent. He even thought that when Wan Zhou was rejected by Ji Nanzheng, he would take advantage of the situation and use some beauty tricks to get back the marriage cancellation letter, so that he would no longer be constrained by her.

Unexpectedly, Ji Nanzheng agreed. Gu Wanzhou became the general's wife, so it was too easy for her to step on the Jiang family. She had no place to use her beauty tricks, and she didn't dare to offend them.

"Thank you." Wan Zhou reminded with a smile: "I also wish Mr. Jiang success in the imperial examination next spring."

Jiang Xuan froze when he heard this.

Gu Wanzhou's words were not a blessing in advance, but a reminder to him that the spring examination was approaching and the time was running out. If he did not take action to marry Gu Wanyu, his future would be worrying.

It seems that Gu Wanzhou is determined to make him marry Gu Wanyu.

"Why does Sister Wanzhou insist that I marry my cousin?" Jiang Xuan wanted an answer.
