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

"...What happened?"

The eldest daughter's words made Gu Huanian dazed for a moment.

In the past, whenever he had any troubles in the officialdom or at home, he would talk to Zheng.

Zheng is visionary and meticulous, and can always point out the key points to him when he encounters a problem.

Now Qiu Wen is the only one around him, and Xiao Yi tries to make him happy with tenderness, but he doesn't get any help at all.

Gu Huanian sighed. Looking at him like this, he seemed even older.

Tell Gu Jinchu what happened: "Someone came to inform me early in the morning and asked me to go to the charity cemetery to collect the bodies of your grandmother and the eldest family of four."

Gu Jinchu had expected the ending of his uncle and his son, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

I didn't expect my father to react like this.

She pretended to show a hint of surprise, took the teacup handed to her by Aunt Qiu, looked at her and said:

"According to what my great uncle and great aunt said before they died, they should probably want my great sister to collect their bodies."

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, she saw a look of relief on her father's face. He must have made a decision in his heart, but just didn't want to say it out loud.

Qiu Wen explained, "After receiving the news, the master asked Zhang Shun to go to Yongping Marquis's residence to find Gu Jinxuan to report the news. Since the family has been separated, the master has fulfilled his duty to inform her."

After saying this, he showed a somewhat mysterious and surprised expression, and tried his best to hide the smile on his lips, "Miss, guess what, the Yongping Earl's Mansion does not recognize this marriage at all."

Gu Jinchu asked a few questions casually and chatted with her father and aunt for almost a cup of tea, then told them that she was going to live with her mother.

What she actually wanted to say was that she probably would never come back.

There was reluctance and understanding on her father's face, but she didn't know whether it came from the heart and she didn't want to find out.

The smile on Aunt Qiu's face was a genuine expression of her feelings. She was happy that from now on she would be the only mistress of the Gu family.

Before leaving, Gu Jinchu called Gu Wen to her yard.

Two months ago, he was not as tall as Gao Yi, but now, the two are almost the same height.

After Gu Wen came in, he bowed to Gu Jinchu and said, "Elder sister."

When she raised her head, her little face was tense, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

Gu Jinchu waved for him to come over, and the two of them sat on the big kang by the window, with a tea-colored carved kang table between them.

"I think Brother Wen already knows...about my great uncle's family. Father has decided not to collect their bodies. I want to know what Brother Wen thinks."

After hearing her words, Gu Wen lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Jinchu could only continue to comfort him: "Don't feel any psychological burden. It is reasonable to help or not to help. No one here will use etiquette and filial piety to ask you to do so."

Gu Wen raised his head, frowning, with confusion and struggle on his face, "Elder sister, I don't know..."

He hated that family so much that when he knew they were all dead, he felt sad for a moment.

No help! I'm afraid my elder sister will think he is a cold-blooded, heartless and ungrateful person.

Help? He had no money, and besides Gao Yi, who was given by his elder sister, there was no one else he could use.

What's more, they are all children.

Gu Jinchu pushed the things on the kang table towards him, smiled and whispered, "These are the things that the eldest wife left behind in Baozhu Pavilion. After thinking about it, the eldest sister still thinks it is more appropriate to give them to Wen Ge'er."

When Gu Wen heard this, he looked at the things on the kang table and his expression changed again and again.

After coming to this house, he lived in fear every day.

Although he was adopted into the second house under the lobbying of his eldest sister.

From a bastard son whom everyone wished dead to the eldest son of the legitimate wife, he still felt uneasy.

After entering the room and sitting here, he saw these things on the kang table, and he knew that his elder sister was not testing him before making the decision.

Gu Wen stretched out his hand and saw that there were banknotes and a farm in it. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, "Eldest sister..."

When Zhou and the others were killed, the assassins were not after money and naturally would not pick up the packages they left behind.

Gao De and his friends were afraid that there might be something extraordinary inside, so they took it back on their own initiative.

Gu Jinchu used their remaining money to buy this farm for Gu Wen. This was what the eldest wife owed to the child.

Anger seemed to return to Gu Wen's face, and his eyes became firm.

"Eldest sister, there are many things I don't understand. Can you find someone to teach me?"

He knew that his wife was also living in Xianghe, and that his eldest sister was leaving this time to be with their mother.

Since she told him all this in private, she definitely didn't want her father and aunt to know about it. All of this was done for his own good.

Gu Wen didn't dare to hope that his elder sister would spend too much time on him. It would be great if someone could help him find the way at this time.

Gu Jinchu nodded, thinking that Gu Wen was indeed a smart and resilient child.

He raised his hand and called Tao Xuelin, who was waiting on the side, over and told Gu Wen, "This is Shopkeeper Tao. You can ask him if you have any questions in the future."

Tao Xuelin bowed and said, "Young Master, I will tell you everything I know."

Gu Wen stood there, watching the carriage that Gu Jinchu was riding in disappear at the street corner, his nostrils twitching uncontrollably.

He knew that his destiny had truly been rewritten from this moment on.

...

Gu Jinchu stepped down from the green-curtained carriage, raised his head and looked at the plaque hanging high up. On it were engraved the words "Peony Garden". He didn't expect that his mother really used this name.

This is the mother’s rebirth and the beginning of her becoming herself again.

She was so happy to be back with her mother that she did not notice that there was a fat and strong horse tied to a tree not far from the gate.

The person who opened the door for her was still Uncle Niu, who always had a smile on his face.

"Miss is back!"

"Miss."

"Miss..."

...

When she walked into the courtyard, she saw familiar faces. If it weren't for the different styles of the two houses, Gu Jinchu would really have the illusion that she had returned to the Gu family where she had lived for many years.

But it did not affect her good mood, and she felt that the air became fresher.

In the past, Gu Jinchu didn't need to ask for permission when he went to visit his mother. Although the house had moved, his mother was still surrounded by the same old people, so naturally there were no new rules.

Gu Jinchu had a big, bright smile on his face, and he walked hurriedly with big steps.

Mother Tong and Jinsuo looked at the young lady who walked into the yard, with expressions of relief and joy on their faces.

They looked at each other at the same time, thinking of something, and their worries were undisguised.
