The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When Gu Huanian heard the words "Fourth Miss", he thought of Yan Jie'er's biological mother Li Xianglian, and his mood, which had just improved a little, suddenly became irritable again.

After he and Zheng received the divorce papers, Zhang Shun was asked to go to Li Xianglian to retrieve the account books and bills.

When she heard Zhang Shun say that the Fourth Young Miss was in trouble, all that flashed through her mind were the things that she and her mother had done in the past to win favor, and she thought that they were trying to use the same trick again.

He was in his prime and had been harmed so badly by them that he had lost his dignity as a human being. He angrily shouted:

"Have you got the things back? If Li Xianglian tries to use the same old tricks again, and if Gu Yan continues to help the tyrant, I will never recognize her as my concubine's daughter again!"

Yesterday, Qiu Wen had nail polish on her fingertips, but overnight her nails were trimmed neatly and cleanly, and there were no accessories in her hair.

With a simple and neat three-braid hairstyle, she has the natural beauty of a lotus emerging from water, as well as the charm of a mature woman.

She walked over and patted Gu Huanian's chest gently, saying in a gentle voice, "Don't get angry because the weather is hot. The young lady and the young master will be worried. Especially since the young master is young, it's not good to scare him."

"The second young lady has been raised by the Madam and her biological mother in recent years. When she moves to her new home, you and the eldest young lady will teach her well. If she stops interacting with those people, her temper will eventually change."

Gu Jinchu looked at Qiu Wen. She adapted to her new identity very quickly.

In this way, the young ladies and young masters were re-ranked, subconsciously forcing their father to passively accept the division of the family, or even to never have anything to do with those people again.

She even took this opportunity to severely step on Li Xianglian, saying openly and secretly that Gu Yan was ruined by her biological mother.

Qiu Wen posed no threat to her, and Gu Jinchu was willing to add icing on the cake, whispering, "True love is known in times of trouble. Father, please don't let Aunt Qiu down in the future."

He turned around and asked Zhang Shun who was standing outside the door, "What's wrong with Sister Yan? Why don't you say it clearly?"

What his father said just now was already very harsh. Gu Jinchu didn't pay much attention to his attitude, but Zhang Shun's expression was very intriguing.

Zhang Shun was behind every single thing that the eldest wife did. It can be said that he was the only loyal and consistent person around his father.

Zhang Shun walked in from outside, bowed to the masters in the room, and whispered, "The fourth young lady is dead."

Gu Jinchu was stunned when he heard this. Dead?

"I just went to the back room of Cuihua Courtyard and shouted a few times but no one responded. It was only when the old woman pushed open the door that I found out...the Zheng family had already gone there." Zhang Shun said with his head down.

Gu Huanian and Qiu Wen were stunned after hearing this. They were locked up together in Cuihua Courtyard last night, so how could someone die overnight?

When Gu Jinchu and his friends arrived at Cuihua Courtyard, the Zheng family was in the courtyard.

After my mother received the divorce letter, my grandparents went to the General's Mansion in Gu'an to make arrangements, leaving my uncle and aunt in Xianghe to support my mother.

Zheng saw her daughter coming over and holding her hand, and whispered beside her:

"Gu Yan and the girl next to her named Qiaozhen are dead. Their wrists were cut and all the blood was drained out. Li Xianglian... looked a little crazy."

Last night, Li Xianglian, Gu Yan, their maid, and Qiu Wen stayed in the back room.

Now there were two guards guarding outside the door. Li Wenshan was piled at the door like a puddle of mud. He wanted to look but didn't dare to, looking a little cowardly and sneaky.

The scorching sun in midsummer was very hot, but the back room was quite cool. Gu Jinchu glanced inside the door.

A large piece of white cloth with two human figures underneath.

She had thought about their deaths, but not in this way.

Gu Huanian did not dare to step in. His face turned pale and he pretended to be calm as he asked, "What... is going on?"

A rather stout woman came over and said, "It was this man named Zhang Shun who was outside calling for Li Xianglian, but no one answered after calling for a while."

"When I opened the door, I saw Li Xianglian holding the big pillow and acting crazy. I lifted the quilts of Gu Yan and the maid and found that the quilts were stained red with blood. The bodies of the two people were stiff."

Hearing that the bodies were stiff, Qiu Wen was so scared that she hugged Gu Huanian's arm.

She slept with them last night. How could she not know when the person died?

"Li Xianglian was not feeling well before going to bed. She kept mumbling that someone had killed her son..." He glanced at his ex-wife and whispered, "She said that she wanted... to have a miserable death..."

Hiding behind Gu Huanian, "Did she go crazy and...kill Yan Jie'er and Qiao Zhen?"

No matter whether it is true or not, it is better. In this way, the master will completely stop thinking about Li Xianglian, and will also hate the Li family even more.

Hearing this, Li Wenshan stood up, holding onto the window sash, and pointed at Qiu Wen and cursed:

"You little bitch, you are talking nonsense. How could my sister kill her own daughter? It must have been done by the Zheng family. She locked us all up here just to silence us!"

Gao De stepped out from the back room. After looking at the two bodies, he had a puzzled expression on his face.

Hearing Li Wenshan's shameless words, he went up and kicked him, "I will kill you now, how about fulfilling your wish?"

Hearing the word "kill", Li Xianglian ran out of the house.

With disheveled hair and a bloodstained pillow in her arms, she said, "Kill you all... All of you die. From now on, I will be the head wife of the Gu family, and all the money will be mine..."

He was mumbling insanely, waving a blood-stained golden hairpin in his hand.

Li Wenshan watched the girl come out and followed her. "Sister, where did you put the money? And the land deeds and so on..."

"You have followed Gu Huanian for all these years, you can't just let them get away with it. Now Sister Yan has been killed by them..."

Li Xianglian seemed to have completely lost her mind. When she saw someone blocking her way, she stabbed him fiercely with the hairpin in her hand, "Die! Die..."

"Ah!" Li Wenshan was so frightened that he jumped up and down, and ran around the courtyard howling like a ghost.

The bird resting on the branch was startled by the noise made by the two people.

For a while, there were all kinds of sounds in the courtyard, which brought people inexplicable irritation in the hot summer.

Gu Huanian's face was even hotter. Yan Jie'er's body was lying on the ground. The person who killed her was her biological mother, the woman he once loved.

Seeing this scene, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

He looked at Zheng uncomfortably, and seeing the sneer on her face, his face turned red. He moved his lips, but in the end he was too embarrassed to say anything.

Zheng looked at him, then withdrew her gaze with some disgust, and ordered the servant beside her, "Take the people and send Master Gu Wen to where he wants to go."

He lowered his eyes to look at Gu Wen, whose eyes were red, and said, "I once said that I would protect you. Now you are Chu Jie'er's brother. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Zheng family to find me."

Gu Wen lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down and kowtowed to her, his voice choking:

"I have never seen my biological mother since the day I was born. Over the years, I have only experienced kindness from you and my elder sister. Gu Wen will never forget this kindness."

When Gu Huanian saw the child who would become his son in the future, he tilted his head and looked away uncomfortably.

Some of the servants and maids in the outer courtyard were his people, and he directed them to move things and hire carriages.

When everything was packed, he sat in the simple and narrow carriage. He couldn't help but turn his head and take another deep look at the house that was getting farther and farther away.

Until the plaque was taken down by the servants, it fell to the ground and broke into two pieces under his gaze.
