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

A few days ago, when Gu Huanian settled down in his new house, he remembered to sort out the account books, land properties, deeds and other matters he had.

However, at this moment, he was surprised to find that the wealthy businessman from Jinan Prefecture was actually a complete liar!

Now, not only is the building deserted, but the huge amount of money Li Xianglian invested has also vanished like a bubble.

What's worse is that you have to pay part of the interest every month.

If he cannot make up for this huge deficit, all the private money he has saved over the years will be gone.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the deed to the house was still in his hands.

When he thought of Li Xianglian who was thrown into the dilapidated temple, he no longer felt pure hatred and disgust in his heart, but he wished he could tear her into pieces!

Qiu Wen had never enjoyed much wealth and glory in the Gu family. Although this house is a little smaller now, it is a blessing in disguise for her.

She led a few maids and old women to keep the second courtyard of the house in order.

Holding the box in her hand, she was about to go to the small study in the front yard to look for her master, when she unexpectedly met Gu Jinchu in the courtyard.

Qiu Wen bowed to Gu Jinchu and whispered, "I will never forget the kindness of the eldest lady."

Apart from her father's increasingly aged complexion, Qiu Wen is the one who has changed the most in the family, as if she has just entered her blooming period.

Gu Jinchu smiled and said, "These are what Auntie deserves."

After she finished speaking, she stood there and looked at the gate in front of the courtyard path:

"Since the current life is what you want, don't let others destroy the current balance. Auntie is so smart, she must know what I mean."

Qiu Wen also followed her gaze and looked over with a faint smile on her face:

"The master and the eldest young master live in the same courtyard. The craftsmen in the backyard built a hanging flower gate. The master said that when the eldest young lady gets married in the future, the courtyard will be kept for you."

"Fortunately, the eldest young master is still young and can't even get married, so how can he get those things from the local government..."

She has lost her fertility. Even if she is released, how can she marry into a good family?

Although a concubine cannot be called the legal wife, the master will definitely not marry again given his physical condition.

She wants to protect the current balance more than anyone else.

Gu Jinchu nodded, raised his leg and said, "Let's go. Auntie has something to tell father. Maybe Brother Wen can help with some ideas when he comes back..."

Qiu Wen followed the eldest lady across the threshold of the study, gently placed the box in her hand on the table, and said to Gu Huanian: "Master, the Li family left in a hurry and left these things behind..."

She opened the lid and found some broken silver and some jewelry that looked to be of only decent quality.

Gu Huanian glanced at it and said, "Chu Jie'er said that the housekeeping power will be handed over to you in the future, and the money will be kept for household expenses... You can keep these jewelry for your own use as well."

He was unhappy and his expression did not look good. Qiu Wen saw this and whispered, "Master, have you been to Baozhu Pavilion?"

She knew who the boss behind Baozhu Pavilion was. Based on her understanding of the first wife's family, she was afraid that they would do many unreasonable things.

Gu Huanian was delighted to hear this. Baozhu Pavilion was a treasure trove. Even if he couldn't take the shop back, wouldn't the goods sold in it be cheap for his elder brother and sister-in-law?

Qiu Wen brought Zhang Shun with her, and thoughtfully borrowed a few guards from Gu Jinchu, and went to Baozhu Pavilion.

There, she met Gu Li, Zhou and Gu Jinyu, but she did not see Chun Xing who was pregnant.

The Lu family not only suffered a lot of setbacks when these three women were in the Chen family, but all the good marriages that they used to boast about were gone.

Because Gu Jinxuan gave birth to a young son for Yongping Earl and was now pregnant with another child, it was a great blessing that she was not kicked out of the house. It was impossible for her to take them in.

When they saw Qiu Wen’s rosy face, their eyes were almost blazing with anger, not to mention that she came here to share a piece of the pie from Baozhu Pavilion.

This led to the noisy scene that Gu Jinchu and the others saw in the carriage.

Gu Jinchu tilted his head and looked out along the car curtain. There were not only Gu Li and Zhou, but also Gu Jinyu who was standing there in a panic and at a loss.

The three men's gorgeous clothes were somewhat stained, and their well-maintained faces became even more sarcastic.

"Stop it! I am the owner of Baozhu Pavilion. You are committing robbery in broad daylight!" Zhou blocked the door and shouted miserably.

Qiu Wen adjusted the hairpin on her head. Zhang Shun stood next to her, and behind her were the sturdy guards.

She looked up at the women opposite her. Each of them had looked down on her to some extent when she was at the Gu family. They said with some sarcasm:

"You are not the only owner of Baozhu Pavilion. I am here today just to retrieve what belongs to us."

He ordered Zhang Shun who was standing by, "They are no longer the masters of the Gu family. Pull them away and move the things!"

The three women dared not confront the guards and watched helplessly as everything in Baozhu Pavilion was looted. The silver box hidden in Gu Jinyu's arms was also snatched away.

Just as they left, another group of men wearing coarse cloth and shorts came. They were obviously thugs and all of them looked fierce and ferocious.

The turbaned man in the lead waved the letter in his hand and called out to his men, "Come and close the shop! Now that they can't pay the money, Baozhu Pavilion will be our boss..."

Seeing this, Gu Jinchu lowered the half-open curtain. In this life, his mother’s death would never happen again.

In the days to come, those people will live like ants.

Missing the prosperous days in the past and living in regret every day is truly a life worse than death.

There was the sound of horse hooves outside the car window. The guards who went to Xixiangzhai were coming back.

The green-curtained carriage started moving again. Bai Zhi took the box of pastries and placed it on the small table in front of the masters.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan handed a piece to Gu Jinchu, and to give her face, she also gave it to Luo Waner who was standing beside her.

She was planning to talk to Chu Jie'er about Zuo Hongwen, but it was not appropriate to say too much with the Luo family around.

In Jingren Palace next to Jinghe Gate, the second prince Zhao Xu sat in the main hall with a frighteningly gloomy face.

He raised his hand, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the room bowed and retreated, placing the teacup in their hands heavily on the kang table, and said in a cold voice:

"Mother, the emperor asked Zhao Kang to go to Sanjiang City to announce to the world that he is the future crown prince!"

Concubine Jing lowered her eyes to look at the color of the nail polish on her fingertips, and after a while she spoke:

"If Zuo Hongwen's background had not been known in advance, it would not be the eldest prince who went to Sanjiang Fortress, but the crown prince..."
