Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Gu Boyu's funeral was simple. He committed suicide and his body was nowhere to be found, so they only held a symbolic memorial service and built a cenotaph.

After the funeral, the next day, Lu went to Qingpu Garden accompanied by her maid Ruan Su.

Xie Zhaozhao was checking accounts with Manman when Yuanyuan brought in Lu.

Lu's injuries had improved a lot, and she was able to walk with the help of others. As she walked along, she had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of late spring in Qingpu Garden.

When she saw Xie Zhaozhao, tears began to fall and her face showed anxiety and pleading.

Xie Zhaozhao knew at a glance that she had something important to do, so he took her to the flower hall, served her tea, and left only Manman to serve her, sending everyone else away.

He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

Lu drove Ruan Su out as well, leaned on the table, knelt in front of Xie Zhaozhao, and cried, "Sister-in-law, please, help me..."

Xie Zhaozhao and Manman hurriedly helped her up and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can."

Mrs. Lu refused to get up and would only do so after Xie Zhaozhao's permission.

The smile on Xie Zhaozhao's face faded: "Sister-in-law, you and I are sisters-in-law, you are the elder and I am the younger. You kneel down to me, it must be something important to ask for. I will definitely help if I can, but if you don't say what it is, even if you kneel down, I dare not agree. Sister-in-law, please don't embarrass me."

Mrs. Lu cried and said, "Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao are crying every day and want to commit suicide every day. I am sad and have no one to talk to. I beg my third sister-in-law to give me some advice."

It turned out to be this matter. Xie Zhaozhao said, "Sister-in-law, you get up first, and we will discuss it slowly."

Mrs. Lu saw that although this man was young, he was very disciplined. She would only annoy him if she knelt down, so she followed Manman's hand and stood up.

Xie Zhaozhao watched her sit down again before asking her what she was thinking.

Mrs. Lu said that her two daughters were already fourteen years old and would be able to get married next year, but they had already lost their virginity and it would be absolutely difficult for them to get married in Kyoto.

Even if she deceived her past and got married, if she was found to be not virgin at her husband's house, she would probably be divorced and would have no way out.

"How could I bear to see them die? How could I bear to see them become nuns at such a young age? I have no other choice but to ask my third brother and sister-in-law to help these two poor children."

Lu cried bitterly.

Xie Zhaozhao sighed. In her previous life, Gu Huanhuan was framed by Gu Jiaojiao to marry Sun Kehai, and was eventually tortured to death. Gu Xiuxiu seemed to have married the illegitimate son of a fourth-rank official. She rarely returned to her parents' home, and no one knew what happened to her in the end.

In this life, they were first framed by Gu Jiaojiao, and then almost destroyed by Zhi Erjiu. In the end, they could not escape the disaster and were still destroyed by the bandits.

It's really pitiful.

This world is unfair to women. People will not be too tolerant just because you are a victim. No man or mother-in-law is willing to accept a woman who has lost her virginity.

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a long time and came up with some plans in mind.

Her voice was calm but not polite: "Second sister-in-law, since you have come to me for help, I will just say something directly, right?"

"Sister-in-law, please tell me."

"You love your two nieces very much, but you are also the root cause of their tragedy."

"Me?" Lu was surprised and a little dissatisfied.

She wanted to explain, but Xie Zhaozhao stopped her.

"You love them only superficially, and you haven't taught them the mind and ability to make a living. You always want to protect them under your wings, but as a result, they become cowardly and always wait and rely on others."

Juhua and Gu Jiaojiao plotted to harm them, and Xie Zhaozhao reminded them again and again, and he even became sick from standing up for them; on the day when the Zhi family came, Xie Zhaozhao also reminded Lu to stay away from the Zhi family, otherwise if the maid hadn't sacrificed herself, she would have been ruined by Uncle Zhi;

As for this bandit incident, Xie Zhaozhao wanted to lead everyone to rush out to defend their innocence, but who listened?

"You were stabbed three times and almost died, but they didn't dare to escape to save themselves... Second sister-in-law, even if nothing bad happened in their mother's family, can they be qualified to be the mistress of a wealthy family?"

Being so stupid, why don't you let your mother-in-law and concubine eat up all the remaining bones?

Mrs. Lu was shaking all over and started crying again: "It's all my fault! But they are so pitiful."

"Second sister-in-law, our two daughters are in trouble. Does the second master know about this?" Xie Zhaozhao was asking Gu Zhongyu.

Mrs. Lu shook her head: "How can you tell a man about such a thing? He will definitely beat the child to death if he finds out."

"Second sister-in-law, I have a plan that will be good for the two children, but such an arrangement must be approved by my brother, otherwise, I will not interfere in the marriage of my two nieces."

"I can make the decision. I am willing to accept any arrangement you make. Is that not okay?"

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head: "No."

"Then can you tell me how to arrange it? It will be easier for me to convince the Second Master."

Xie Zhaozhao told her about his plan: to marry the two girls off to the border.

In the capital, it was difficult for them to marry into an ideal family. Even the illegitimate sons of the lowest-ranking officials might not accept them. But if they married to the border, it would be a completely different situation.

In many border towns, due to years of fighting and guarding the border, there are many soldiers who have not returned to their hometowns for ten years. The gender ratio is seriously unbalanced, and it is extremely difficult to get married.

Young military officers who have difficulty finding a wife will not mind marrying their daughters off for the second or third time, not to mention that Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi are daughters of officials. They are good-looking and gentle and docile in nature. If a man can marry them, he will surely pamper them like jewels.

Although the Daqian frontier has been relatively stable for several years, there are constant frictions on the border. As long as you are brave and good at fighting, you can be promoted soon.

Asking acquaintances to carefully select a person's character would be a great choice for Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi.

Lu was overjoyed when she heard this, and repeatedly begged Xie Zhaozhao to make arrangements immediately.

Since Xie Zhaozhao took action, the arrangements must be good.

Xie Zhaozhao said, "Sister-in-law, you must explain it clearly to my brother before I will make any arrangements for you. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men. The swords and guns are merciless on the battlefield. You may be awarded a title of nobility, but what if you die on the battlefield? I don't want the elder brother and my brother to lose their brotherly love."

Mrs. Lu repeatedly assured that she would not mind her daughter being a widow, and would not mind even if her daughter died at the border.

Xie Zhaozhao said nothing more and just drank his tea slowly.

Xie Zhaozhao wants the family to be united, but he has to speak the truth first.

She doesn't want any credit, but she absolutely cannot bear to be asked to just eat the leftovers.

Lu was helpless and said she would go back and discuss it with Gu Zhongyu.

Lu and Ruan Su left, and said with a cold smile: "She had no choice in the first place. The young lady gave them a chance to go to the border to earn a title, but she still made many calculations. If the marriage is unhappy, she will definitely blame it on the young lady, which will affect the brotherhood between the second master and the elder."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "So, if the Second Master doesn't come to ask me in person, I won't care."

After Lu left, he didn't come for three days.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't care about her and just did what she was supposed to do.

Three days later, when it was getting dark, a carriage was seen heading towards Qingpu Garden. Gu Zhongyu and Lu came with Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi.

Gu Zhongyu's face looked ugly and he was full of shame.

Gu Shaoyu didn't know what was going on. Xie Zhaozhao asked the people from the second room to wait in the living room. She pulled Gu Shaoyu aside and explained the whole story.

Gu Shaoyu nodded and said, "You did a great job. I agree with your idea. Tomorrow I will write a letter to Zhang Hexuan and ask him to find two suitable girls in the army. Then I will ask my brother and sister-in-law to personally send them off to marry."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "You must make it clear to Zhang Hexuan that the two of you are not perfect. You must make it clear to the man."

"That's natural."

Xie Zhaozhao was overjoyed. With the second son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, the fourth son of the Zhang family, and the county magistrate of Yuzhou personally guaranteeing him, this son-in-law might be a pretty good one.
