Chapter 353: The Chaste and Virtuous Woman Who Was Drowned in a Pond by Her Husband’s Family (23)

When Chu Xinghe ran back to the store, Gu Zhen was seeing off the old lady of the Meng family.

Shang Yongle was old enough to get married. Madam Meng was already old and had to worry about her granddaughter. She returned to the Shang family under the double pressure from her son and daughter-in-law.

No matter what the reason for Meng Yingxue's death, the Meng couple lost their daughter and could not look at their niece normally.

It's good enough to give her something to eat, and she doesn't have to worry about her marriage.

But it’s different for Madam Meng. She lost her daughter at the same time as she lost her granddaughter!

How could Old Madam Meng be so cruel as to ignore the flesh and blood left by Meng Jinlian?

She forced her daughter-in-law to arrange a marriage for Shang Yongle.

The other party agreed, but who were the people they found?

An elderly widower, a lecherous playboy, a fat butcher, or else a concubine.

Mrs. Meng had no choice but to sacrifice her reputation and personally visit her old friends.

She really made them a couple.

It’s just that the man also lost his wife at an early age. He is seven or eight years older than Shang Yongle and runs a security company.

Although she is a stepwife, the man has no children and no parents-in-law, only two younger brothers. They are also old enough to get married and have children. Shang Yongle can be the head of the family after she marries.

Old Madam Meng thought this marriage was a great one, and in order to avoid any problems, she shamelessly took Shang Yongle back to Shangjia.

As Shang Yongle's nominal cousin, and with family members watching over him, Gu Zhen naturally could not refuse.

Not only did she not refuse, she also had to give her share of the dowry.

Gu Zhen prepared a copy in accordance with the rules and let Shang Yongle stay at home.

Shang Yongle reluctantly saw his grandmother off, then sat there in silence.

The third young lady, who was once pampered in the family, now suffers the bitterness of living under someone else's roof at her maternal grandparents' home.

Chu Rou, who had been silently serving as a background board nearby, didn't know about Shang Yongle's past. She just felt that Shang Yongle seemed very unhappy.

"Miss Shang, do you not like the marriage that Old Madam Meng proposed? If you don't want to, you can tell Brother Shang Zhen, and he will make the decision for you."

Chu Rou is naive and ignorant of the ways of the world. She has a brother who is reliable in everything, so she naturally thinks that other people’s sisters must also trust their brothers.

Gu Zhen looked at Shang Yongle, who was much less angry than before, and had no choice but to follow Chu Rou's words and ask, "Are you satisfied with this marriage? If not, you can take another look."

Shang Yongle didn't think that this cousin who came back halfway and seized all the family wealth had any good intentions. He shook his head warily and said, "I am very satisfied. You don't have to worry about it."

This sentence made Chu Rou instantly understand the relationship between the two. It should not be very good. She closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Shang Yongle realized that he had said something wrong and was afraid of offending him. Everyone in Sui City knew who the current master was, and Shang Zhen was a favorite of the master, and they were sworn brothers.

She tried to make up for it, saying, "My grandmother found me such a simple family because she was thinking about me. The ones my aunt found were rich, but they had countless concubines. I don't want to get involved in intrigues with so many women just for the sake of temporary pleasure."

Gu Zhen raised her eyebrows. How could Madam Meng teach her granddaughter like this, but how could she spoil her daughter and granddaughter like that!

It can be seen that people know and feel differently in different circumstances.

Gu Zhen nodded approvingly: "I feel relieved that you think this way. You have to live your life on your own. If you marry someone from the escort agency, you may be able to go out more often. It's good for a girl to see the world."

It was not known whether Shang Yongle heard it or not, but he did not refute it anyway.

Chu Rou on the side was a little dazed.

In fact, she had been to many places with the Xiang family army, but most of the time she was lying in a carriage or in a tent, painfully enduring the torture brought by the poison.

She had never seen the magnificent mountains and rivers that Brother Xiang had described, or the corpses scattered across the fields that Sister Feng had sighed about.

How she had dreamed that one day she could let her horse run free and gallop across the land that was conquered by Brother Xiang himself.

Now that she is in good health, can she realize this dream?

Chu Rou thought again of what Shang Yongle had just said about the many wives and concubines, and the intrigues among them.

She firmly believed that she and Sister Feng would not let jealousy affect their sisterhood, but Brother Xiang would become emperor sooner or later.

Those unruly aristocratic families, ambitious court officials, and countless generals leading troops to fight.

When a country is first established, marriage is the best way to win people's hearts.

She was able to watch Sister Feng become the queen because she felt that Feng Qianheng was worthy of it. No woman in the world could compare to Sister Feng in excellence.

But what about other women, Chu Rou asked herself, maybe she would also feel jealous.

Does she have to live behind those high palace walls for the rest of her life, waiting for Brother Xiang to come and stay in her palace?

Chu Rou felt a pain in her heart, she didn't want to.

The room fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of Gu Zhen fanning herself.

When Chu Xinghe came in, he saw his third brother who was thinking about something, his sister sitting there thoughtfully, and a strange girl with a blank expression.

His arrival interrupted the three people's thoughts.

Chu Rou was upset and wanted to find a place to talk, but she couldn't bear to make her brother worry, so she found an excuse to leave first.

When Shang Yongle met Chu Xinghe for the first time, he felt that this man was the best man he had ever seen in his life.

She wanted to take a few more looks, but Li Moer respectfully asked her to leave.

When they were about to walk out of the main courtyard, Shang Yongle looked back and saw the good man grabbing her cousin, holding him by the shoulders and asking something.

Shang Yongle frowned. Could this man be a disgusting bunny like her father?

Oh! I was born with such a good appearance for nothing!

Shang Yongle left without looking back.

In the room, Gu Zhen pushed the man away angrily, "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about! In your eyes, this is who I am?!"

What aunt and widowed sister-in-law!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what was wrong with him. When he saw his third brother, he wanted to grab him. He just wanted to be closer to him.

When he moved closer, Gu Zhen would move away.

Chu Xinghe was at a loss and felt that he was doomed. After staring at it for a whole day, he could only come to one conclusion.

When he saw his third brother getting close to others, he felt jealous.

He felt wronged because his third brother avoided him.

Chu Xinghe stood there, tall and strong, at a loss for a moment, "Third brother, why are you so fierce?"

Gu Zhen: "...Second brother, don't be like this."

It was clearly this man who rushed over and questioned her first, accusing her of stealing someone else's aunt and locking up her poor widowed sister-in-law at home to pray for blessings. That's why she got angry.

He felt wronged.

Gu Zhen originally felt that it was not good to hide the truth from them, but when she thought about Feng Qianheng smiling and saying that they didn't need to mind, she decided to keep it a secret for as long as possible, as in the end Xiang Jihuai and Chu Xinghe would surely be shocked.

She felt relieved.

He deliberately said in a malicious way: "Second brother, this is my private matter, right? Why are you so nosy?"

Chu Xinghe said without even thinking: "I will take care of your business!"

Gu Zhen was stunned when she met his passionate and straightforward gaze, and her heart skipped a beat.

This idiot, wouldn't he like her?
