It was already late today, so Gu Yanzhou took Jiang Nan away from Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Old Madam Gu stayed in the mansion to take charge of the overall situation.

He even sent someone to notify the elders of the Gu clan overnight to open the ancestral hall the next day and remove Xu's name from the family tree.

"Once this happens, the engagement may be delayed for a day."

Gu Yanzhou said with some guilt.

"What's the big deal? I can't run away. Just deal with Xu's matter quickly. This way, you can also avenge your aunt."

Jiang Nan knew what was bothering him, he had been planning this for many years.

Gu Yanzhou sent Jiang Nan home and ordered Rong Xin to deliver the evidence he had collected over the years to the Dali Temple overnight.

Early the next morning, Madam Gu in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion had the ancestral hall opened and sat in the main seat waiting for the elders of the Gu family to arrive.

At the same time, someone brought Xu and Xu Cong up.

In just one day, Xu seemed to have aged ten years and no longer looked the same as before.

Madam Gu didn't even look at the two of them.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter that requires us to come here in such a hurry?" Pingyang Hou's biological father asked Madam Gu in confusion.

Behind him were other members of the Gu clan.

"Ms. Xu has violated the seven grounds for divorce. As a married woman, she is promiscuous and unfaithful. Today, my son is not at home, so I will divorce her and expel her from the Gu family tree. Today, I have come to ask everyone to be a witness."

Madam Gu spoke to the Gu family members with a serious expression.

After hearing what Old Madam Gu said, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It would be a great relief to divorce such a woman."

Pingyang Hou's father was the first to speak.

Although his son was adopted, he still has his own blood in him. No matter what happens, we will all prosper and suffer together.

Madam Gu brought the divorce letter she had prepared in advance to Xu and asked him to sign it.

Xu reached out to take it and looked at the divorce letter. Surprise flashed across her face. It turned out that he was just divorcing her.

At this point, Xu signed the divorce letter without saying a word.

"From today on, you are no longer a member of my Gu Mansion."

Madam Gu glanced at Xu and said indifferently, with disdain for Xu in her eyes.

When Xu heard this, she said nothing and staggered outside.

Xu, who originally thought that she was going to die, felt some hope rekindled in her heart. She still had Yun Ting, and when Yun Ting came back, he would definitely not abandon her as a mother.

When Xu entered the Gu Mansion, she was a concubine, so naturally she didn't have any dowry or anything like that.

We came with nothing, and we can leave with nothing.

Who would have thought that as soon as Xu came out of the gate of Gu Mansion, an official in official uniform and carrying a sword came up to her and asked, "Are you Xu?"

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

Xu asked in confusion.

"You are suspected of poisoning Madam Gu and killing the former wife of the Marquis of Pingyang. Take her away."

After confirming Xu's identity, several officers came up and immediately took Xu under control.

Xu immediately understood that this was Gu Yanzhou's work, and she wondered how he could let her go so easily.

At this time, Xu also noticed that Xu Cong was being held unconscious by the police.

"It seems like you are all waiting for me here!"

Xu was laughing and crying. After giving hope, it was shattered again. Xu completely collapsed.

As a result of this commotion, many people gathered in front of the Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion.

"Isn't this the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang?"

One of them recognized Xu.

"Really? How did he end up like this and get taken away by the police?"

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

"The Dali Temple is carrying out official business. Please do not interfere with our work here. Go quickly."

Upon seeing this, the officer immediately drove away the onlookers and brought the man back to the Dali Temple for trial.

In a carriage not far away, Gu Yanzhou watched with his own eyes as Xu was taken away, and he did not feel happy at all because of his revenge.

The reason why Xu was able to kill her mother was because of Xu Cong's advice. Later, she was able to manage the huge Pingyang Marquis Mansion because of Xu Cong.

Later, Gu Yunting came into being.

Thinking of Gu Yunting, Gu Yanzhou couldn't help but think of his previous life, when his death was also caused by Gu Yunting.

The development of this life is very different from that of the previous life.

He must not take Gu Yunting lightly.

Gu Yanzhou got off the carriage and went to Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

He did not go to see the old lady first, but stayed in front of his mother's spirit tablet for a while.

"You have been entangled here for half your life, and finally died tragically here. It's time for your son to take you back to your home."

After saying that, Gu Yanzhou went to Old Madam Gu.

Old Madam Gu had just sent away the group of elders and returned to her own courtyard. She was old and her health was not good anymore, and she felt very tired at the moment.

"Zhou'er, you're here."

As soon as Mrs. Gu entered the room, she saw Gu Yanzhou.

"Grandma, is everything settled?"

Gu Yanzhou asked casually to Old Madam Gu.

"Well, it's been taken care of. I haven't been in charge of anything for a long time, and I feel a little tired. After all, I'm old and useless. If you and Nan Nan get married, you young ones have to take care of it."

Old Madam Gu sat down and spoke to Gu Yanzhou earnestly.

"Grandma, I want to move my mother out of the Gu family's ancestral tomb."

Gu Yanzhou came this time just to tell Old Madam Gu that he would move the people away regardless of whether she agreed or not.

She was not happy in the Gu family throughout her life. When he was a child, he often saw his mother secretly wiping away tears.

"Grandma is old now. From now on, the Marquis' Mansion will be handed over to you. You can make the decision yourself!"

Madam Gu sighed.

"Thank you, grandmother. I have to go to Nan Nan's house to propose marriage tomorrow. I will go back first and come to see you another day."

"Go ahead. I've already prepared Nan Nan's betrothal gifts. You can just go find the housekeeper."

When Mrs. Gu heard about the betrothal proposal, a smile finally appeared on her face.

After bidding farewell to Old Madam Gu, Gu Yanzhou returned to the General's Mansion, called the housekeeper over, and asked him carefully about what Old Madam Gu had prepared for Jiang Nan.

When he heard about Linglongge shop, he looked a little surprised.

"You prepare a list of all the shops under my name and send it together with these shops as a betrothal gift tomorrow."

"As for the silver, that's all for now! I'll need to keep some for the wedding, so I'll give it all to her later."

Gu Yanzhou instructed the housekeeper nonchalantly.

"All of them are considered as betrothal gifts."

The butler looked at Gu Yanzhou in shock. He thought that Madam Gu had given enough, but this general was even crazier than Madam Gu.

"Yeah, all of them."

Gu Yanzhou still had a smile on his face when he said this.

Jiang Nan naturally deserves the best.

"Okay, old slave, go get ready now."

The butler gasped and quickly retreated. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would faint from heartache in front of the general.

Next door, Jiang Nan was still thinking about her own prescription at home, having no idea that the fortune of the richest man in Lengyue Country was about to fall on her head.
