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

Gu Jinchu read the letter his father hastily left behind in the carriage, with a sarcastic sneer on his face.

It detailed their father-daughter relationship over the years and said that he felt guilty towards her as a father.

In order not to implicate her, the county lady, because of many things that the first wife had done, he did not want to do so. Now that she had a good marriage with the Jiang family, he did not want her to be despised by her husband's family because of her father's bad behavior, which would affect her status in the Jiang family.

So, with a sad and reluctant mood, he resolutely took Qiu Wen and the others to escape to a place where no one knew them. He didn't want to stay in Xianghe and become a burden to her.

This was not what my father did in his previous life. It was Jiang Nansheng who mediated and saved him from imprisonment and allowed him to keep his official position.

This was what the Crown Prince's wife told her after she married into the Jiang family, making her lose face in front of all the noble ladies.

If her father really cared about the relationship between father and daughter, how could he have gone to the Jiang family without telling her?

Presumably, her father was afraid that her family would be killed like her brother's family. After knowing that she was granted marriage, he took the family's money and ran away with his concubine.

It's really ridiculous!

She let out a sigh of relief, and it was better to leave...

"Why are you telling us such a big thing now that Brother Wen was admitted to the Imperial College?" Gu Jinchu put away his expression and looked at Gu Wen opposite him and asked.

He was wearing a sky blue gown, which made his facial features look even more delicate and clear.

After not seeing him for a few days, he had grown stronger and was taller than her.

Gu Wen held the teacup, his face pale and bloodless, "I wanted to give my elder sister a surprise, but I didn't expect that my elder sister would have a huge surprise."

Gu Jinchu knew that he was sensitive by nature and that Wen Ge'er's life was indeed hard, so he smiled and said, "Several cousins ​​from my maternal grandparents' family have also come home. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."

Gu Wen put down the teacup and said, "I've heard of the name of my third cousin Zheng Kaicheng." As he spoke, a hint of longing appeared on his face.

"Well, my third cousin has traveled to many places. I don't understand much about his knowledge, but I really like listening to his stories."

Not only did she like to listen, the eldest princess was also curious and delighted about many things her cousin Kai Cheng said.

That day they went horse racing together and met their third cousin on the way, so they all joined together.

The Luo siblings and their third cousin were already acquainted with each other, only the eldest princess was a little unfamiliar with them.

Everyone was interested in the third cousin's travels and experiences over the years, and soon they became familiar with each other.

After returning to the Peony Garden, Gu Jinchu had to pay his respects to his grandparents, elders, and peers.

When the Zheng family saw Gu Huanian's letter, they did not express much opinion.

Only Zheng Liu applauded, "He finally did the right thing and stopped dragging down our Chu Jieer!"

No matter what Gu Huanian's original intention was, what they saw was the result.

Even more so, he couldn't and wouldn't say anything in front of Gu Jinchu.

After all, he was her biological father. No matter what he said, it would be hurtful to Gu Jinchu.

Gu Huanian and the Gu family have finally moved on with just one word from Old Madam Zheng.

After all, Gu Jinchu is now the imperially-appointed county princess first, and only then the daughter of the Gu family.

It was late at night, and the Zheng family returned to the prepared guest room to rest.

Zheng Mudan held her mother's hand, and the two of them walked in the corridor, with maids and old women following a few steps behind.

Zheng Liu held her daughter's hand and said, "I shouldn't be saying this right now, but Mudan wants to know your attitude towards Qin Lang."

She likes Chu Jie'er and it is true that she loves and protects her.

The premise is that Chu Jie'er is the daughter of her beloved daughter.

Zheng Mudan knew that her mother was waiting for her so late, and she must have something to say to her.

I thought it was something that was inconvenient for my two sisters-in-law to know, but unexpectedly the first question was asked to Qin Lang.

Ever since she set up a household for women, Qin Lang would sometimes come to take care of her.

Because of their friendship in their youth, she would occasionally invite him to have dinner with her. Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable and asked her mother beside her, "Mom, have you heard any rumors about Qin Lang and me?"

She knew very well that people's words were scary, and Chu Jie'er's wedding date was not yet decided, so she was afraid that she would affect her daughter's marriage.

Zheng Liu took her daughter's hand and walked back to the inner room. She raised her hand to let the people following behind disperse and comforted her daughter:

"There are no rumors. I just want to know your attitude towards Qin Lang."

Zheng Mudan personally helped her mother to wash and dress, and after hearing her mother's words, she felt relieved.

Only then did I really understand what my mother meant, and I blushed and said:

"What kind of attitude can a daughter have? I am four years older than him. Not only am I divorced, but I am also approaching the age of becoming a grandmother."

She had been married once, and after Qin Lang came a few times, she noticed his abnormality.

I have been pretending to be ignorant and I don't want to break this window paper.

Over time, he will realize that she is not worth it.

As a member of the Imperial Guard, he was a close minister to the emperor and had a bright future. The two of them were incompatible in every aspect.

Besides, she had just divorced and no longer dared to have any extravagant expectations in terms of love.

It had been a long time since Zheng Liushi had given her daughter a haircut like she did when she was a child.

Looking at her daughter in the dressing mirror, she said, "On the day you got engaged, that child knelt in front of my door all night."

Zheng Mudan was shocked when she heard this. How could she not know about this? Besides, she only regarded Qin Lang as her younger brother at that time. "Mother..." Seeing her mother motioning for her to listen.

"Later, he went to Sanjiang Fortress with Wen Yang. He wrote to his family every month without fail. At the end of the letter, he would ask if Mudan was happy, until he returned to Shengjing again."

"Qin Lang has loved you silently behind your back and has been guarding you for sixteen years..."

Zheng Mudan felt a little sad when she heard this, and she didn't know how to respond to Qin Lang's affection.

"Mudan, what mother said today is to tell you that not all men in this world are like Gu Huanian."

"It doesn't matter if I failed once. Even if we're divorced, my daughter has the right to pursue happiness!"

This night was destined to make many people sleepless.

Gu Jinchu thought he would have trouble falling asleep, but on the contrary, he had a dreamless night till dawn.

......

After breakfast, everyone sat in the main room.

Except for my third uncle and aunt who lived far away in Sanjiang Fortress, all members of the Zheng family, young and old, gathered here.

My aunt, Mrs. Wu, has been married to the Zheng family for more than 20 years and has learned some of the calmness from my mother-in-law.

"I'll take some people to see if there's anything in the Peony Garden that needs repairing."

"Then let our Chu Jieer marry in a grand manner."

While everyone was discussing this, a servant outside the door came in and reported, "Madam, County Lady, someone from the Jiang family is here!"
