I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

If Gu Zhaoming had said this to another girl, that girl would probably have already burst into tears.

But the girl he was facing was not an ordinary girl, but Qu Lian'er, who had been in the world since she was old enough to understand.

Although she had not yet been as busy as the sisters in the museum, she had seen and heard those sisters' patrons swearing and swearing all kinds of oaths to gain the sisters' favor and to show their sincerity.

But in the end, no man could keep his promise.

Qu Lian secretly swore at that time that in this life, she would only be good to herself, only love herself, and would never give her true heart to others.

Qu Lian looked extremely touched. "As long as Mr. Gu is sincere to me, it will be my blessing to be his concubine."

Gu Zhaoming was overjoyed and hugged Qu Lian in his arms. "Don't worry, Lian'er, I, Gu Zhaoming, will never let you down in this life!"

A girl like Qu Lian, who looked like her, would be married into a wealthy and powerful family as a concubine. For a minor official of the seventh rank like him, to have such a beautiful concubine was a blessing he had earned in his previous life.

Gu Zhaoming was proud of his talent, but he was not so arrogant as to be unable to recognize reality.

The most important thing is that Qu Lian is very similar to that person, which invisibly satisfies his ulterior motives.

If Changsheng was not a member of the Gong family, Gu Zhaoming would have been very confident that he could get Shen Rong. However, that fool became the only heir to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and no longer had his idiocy. In this life, his thoughts were obviously hopeless.

God allowed him to meet Qu Lian, which must be God's compensation to him!

Gu Zhaoming seemed to want to make up for the regret in his heart.

While Chen was back at her parents' home, he asked Liu to prepare the betrothal gifts in private and sent them to Grandma Zhang's house in the afternoon.

Liu knew that her son was pregnant, but she had never met him.

When she learned that her son wanted to take that woman as a concubine, she was overjoyed.

Liu was naturally anxious because her son had been married for four or five years but had no children.

But her daughter-in-law's family is powerful, and her son still needs to rely on the power of his wife's family, so she has to keep it to herself even if she has any objections.

Now that Chen Yuan can no longer have children, her son can finally take a concubine, and she is happier than anyone else.

What made Liu happiest was causing trouble for Chen Yuan.

Liu was not very clear about the differences between taking a concubine and marrying a wife, and when she saw her son asking her to prepare a betrothal gift, she did not think much about it.

When her son went to deliver the betrothal gift, she secretly went with him to take a look.

When she saw Qu Lian, who looked 60% like Shen Rong, she was completely stunned.

At first glance, she thought she saw Shen Rong.

But after taking another look, she was sure that it was not Shen Rong, but just a girl who looked somewhat similar to Shen Rong. She felt very relieved.

As for Shen Rong, as long as she didn't harm her son, Liu didn't have much ill will towards her.

If they said they didn't like her, it was only because the Shen family had seen her and her son in such an embarrassing situation over the years.

If Liu sees Shen Rong again now, she will think of those days when she had to depend on others for support.

Now, her son was about to take a woman who looked very similar to Shen Rong as his concubine, and Liu felt secretly pleased with herself.

However, this also shows that his son has not forgotten Shen.

When Gu Zhaoming came back, Liu immediately called his son to his side.

"Zhao Ming, are you blaming your mother for not letting you marry Shen Sanniang?"

In this life, the only person she can rely on is her son. She can't let her son be dissatisfied with her in the slightest, so why did she ask this question?

Gu Zhaoming was silent for a moment, then said, "Mother, you worry too much. It was my son who decided to marry Chen Yuan. If I had married Shen Sanniang, I'm afraid I would still be studying hard now. I know how to make choices."

When Liu heard what Gu Zhaoming said, she felt relieved. It was rare for him to say something good for Chen Yuan.

"Although Chen can't give birth anymore, she still has her parents' family. You can't treat her badly." After a pause, she finally said worriedly, "Will Chen allow you to take a concubine?" Liu was a little unsure about this matter.

It’s not that Liu thought her son couldn’t take a concubine, but she was afraid that Chen Yuan would make trouble when he came back. By then, her son would only suffer when facing his uncles from the Chen family.

Gu Zhaoming thought for a moment and said, "Son has already made up his mind. I hope you will cooperate with me when the time comes."

Seeing that her son understood, Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. I'm looking forward to having a grandson, too!"

Gu Zhaoming nodded and replied, "My son knows the importance of this matter."

When Liu heard her son say this, she felt relieved.

Two days later, Qu Lian officially entered the Gu family.

After receiving the news, Chen Yuan returned to Gu's house that same day.

When she saw the face that looked about 60% similar to Shen Rong, Chen Yuan's face turned pale.

why?

Gu Zhaoming clearly did not marry Shen Rong, so why couldn't he forget her?

He actually married a woman who looked so similar to that bitch. What did Gu Zhaoming think of her?

Seeing that Chen Yuan was about to make a scene, Gu Zhaoming hurriedly pulled him into the inner room and explained, "Yuanyuan, listen to me first."

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Gu Zhaoming carefully helped Chen Yuan sit on the bed and said softly, "You didn't think I couldn't forget Shen Sanniang just because that woman looked like Shen Sanniang, did you?"

Chen Yuan snorted coldly, "Humph, what else can I think of?"

Gu Zhaoming chuckled, "I married her for your own good."

"For my own good?" Chen Yuan laughed angrily!

Could it be that she could not sleep with this concubine?

Gu Zhaoming sighed, "You know how my mother has treated you since you had the miscarriage, right?

I have to work all day, and I don't have time to take care of you. As a husband, I feel very distressed, but I can't go against mother's wishes. I am caught in the middle and it is very difficult."

Chen Yuan stared at Gu Zhaoming coldly, watching how he continued to make up stories.

Gu Zhaoming hugged Chen Yuan in his arms and said, "I married Qu Lian because she looks like Shen Sanniang."

Gu Zhaoming paused and asked, "Madam, do you still remember the days when I was studying in Taohua Village?"

A trace of discomfort flashed across Chen Yuan's face.

How could she remember her original experience?

Gu Zhaoming didn't insist on Chen Yuan's answer. He just kept talking to himself, "In order to support my studies, my mother had trouble making ends meet every year. She always shamelessly went to the Shen family for help, and was often looked down upon by the Shen family.

My mother has a grudge against the Shen family. Qu Lian is so similar to Shen Sanniang, my mother can vent her anger. In this way, she will stop staring at me. "

Chen Yuan immediately understood what her mother-in-law Liu was thinking.

Once they gain power, they can't wait to step on the people they once looked up to, as if only in this way can they wash away the humiliation they once suffered.

"What about you? Do you have the same idea?" Chen Yuan asked, staring at Gu Zhaoming's face.

Gu Zhaoming was silent for a moment, and said, "If it weren't for the things that happened in the past, I wouldn't be who I am today.

As for Shen Sanniang, I had already given up on you when I married you.

But, the Shen family did do me a favor in the past, so I dare not forget it.

Therefore, when I saw Qu Lian, who looked somewhat like Shen Sanniang, being teased by a scoundrel, I started to mind my own business.

And thinking about the many conflicts between you and my mother in the past, I took her in to divert her attention from you."
