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

The plaque of the Gu family in Xiangheli Street Hutong was taken down, and the news of Gu Huanian and his wife's divorce spread like wildfire, almost to every street and alley.

Gu Huanian did not hold a high position in the government, and the divorce came without warning. The sensation it caused was far less eye-catching than the dowry that was carried away from Zheng.

The generous dowry sparkled luxuriously in the sun, as if telling how much glory the Gu family had lost.

The topic of the crowd finally fell on their eldest daughter, Gu Jinchu.

The heroine mentioned by the emperor just held her coming-of-age ceremony a few days ago. She should have been at the age of glory, but because of this sudden family change, she is afraid that her marriage will be hindered.

Gu Jinchu was unaware of the rumors as she had been extremely busy these days.

After the divorce, mother Zheng did not return to the Zheng family in Baodi, nor did she go to the general's mansion in Gu'an.

She felt that the house where she had lived with Gu Huanian was unlucky and did not want to be associated with it again.

I used it to exchange for a three-courtyard house from a real estate agent that was in a better and more exquisite location, but relatively smaller in size.

The house in Liushu Hutong was bought by Gu Huanian for the Li family to settle down when Li Xianglian was in favor.

Therefore, this house was not used as collateral to raise money.

There are more than a dozen people in the Li family living in this two-story house.

They had been living in peace and harmony, and he treated this place as his own home, with even a plaque hanging on it that read "Li Mansion".

Now seeing that Gu Huanian was bringing people to drive them away, he first tried to appeal to their feelings and acted pitiful, but in the end he threw a tantrum and caused the neighbors to come out to watch the fun.

The most miserable time for Gu Huanian in the past thirty years was when his father passed away.

Time has passed too long ago, and he has been taken care of in luxury for all these years, and he doesn't even know how to quarrel.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss and been dismissed by my mother and brother in just a few words.

Gu Jinchu had a cold face and was about to speak when Gu Wen stood up and said in a cold voice, "Come here, if they continue to be so disrespectful, we will report them to the police!"

"Li Xianglian committed the seven crimes of divorce and has been expelled from the Gu family. Her clansmen have occupied the Gu family's private residence, and her brother Li Wenshan has committed theft. If they don't hand over all their belongings today, I will definitely not let them go!"

Gu Wen was young, and his voice didn't have much power, but he recited the law in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

What's more, behind him are the guards brought by Gu Jinchu.

They all look strong and have the appearance of martial artists, which makes them very intimidating to ordinary people.

After hearing Gu Wen's behavior, the Li family members shut up obediently and said they could only leave after they packed up their valuables.

Gu Huanian pointed at the corners of these people's mouths and said, "Your valuables? Don't even think about taking a blade of grass or a tree from this house with you. When you first came here, you were all poor and naked. Have you forgotten how poor you looked?"

More than a dozen people were afraid of being stripped naked, and were even more afraid that the guards would come and use violence, so they fled from the house without being chased away.

When Gu Jin first saw Li Wenshan, who appeared at the intersection with a sneaky look, she glanced at Qiu Wen who was beside her father.

Qiu Wen held a round fan in her hand and whispered beside Gu Huanian, "Master, Li Xianglian is now crazy and she has killed people before. What do you think we should do?"

Gu Huanian had just been annoyed by the greedy faces of the Li family. Except for Li Xianglian, he had no ties with these people at all.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face became cold and determined. He instructed Zhang Shun beside him: "Follow the Li family and find Li Xianglian and take her away..."

At this point, Gu Huanian paused, thinking that the current situation was all caused by her greed, and said through gritted teeth:

"If she's really crazy, throw her into a dilapidated temple outside the city. If she's just pretending..."

Seeing his master's gesture, Zhang Shun nodded his head and agreed, then went to discuss the matter with the groom.

After curfew, many beggars would hide in dilapidated temples outside the city.

Li Xianglian, a single woman, was thrown in, and one can imagine what the outcome would be.

Gu Huanian's decision was even more sinister than taking her life directly.

The small study room at the entrance was the first to be tidied up. Zhang Shun was not there, so Gu Huanian took out books from the boxes and placed them neatly on the shelves.

Seeing Gu Jinchu standing in front of the open window, he said to her, "In the past, these things in father's outer courtyard were all taken care of by... her. The account books are all here. Sister Chu will take over in the future."

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes and looked over. What’s the use of account books?

In addition to this house, Li Xianglian mortgaged all the land and property deeds. Apart from Baozhu Pavilion, the Gu family's only monthly income was the monthly allowance from his father.

She naturally looked down on these things, and it was impossible for her, an unmarried woman, to support them.

So, she said, "There are only four of us in the family now, so let's give the housekeeping power to Aunt Qiu."

Hearing his eldest daughter say this, Gu Huanian raised his head, then lowered it again, without stopping his hands.

Gu Jinchu had a faint smile on his face and continued, "Aunt Qiu will be with you for many years in the future. Since you trust her so much, she will follow you wholeheartedly."

She came over, glanced at the account book and said, "As for your private property, why not organize it and give it to Brother Wen..."

Only when you understand it will you realize that the once tremendous wealth has become a bubble. It's a pity that Li Xianglian and her daughter can never see or experience it again.

……

After the eldest princess and Luo Wan'er learned about the changes in the Gu family, they each sent messages to Gu Jinchu several times.

Everyone agreed to meet at the Treasure Pavilion at a certain time.

As soon as Luo Waner entered the room, she hugged Gu Jinchu and said, "Sister Chu, if you feel sad after such a big thing happened, just cry. My brother is at home today, so let him take us to the horse farm and ride it happily..."

Gu Jinchu pulled her off him and said with a smile, "Wan'er, I'm fine. I'm even happier than before."

Luo Waner had just seen her dressed in men's clothes and asked in surprise, "Chu Jie'er, what are you doing?"

Gu Jinchu waved the fan in his hand and laughed freely and happily, "I'll introduce a new friend to Sister Wan'er later!"
