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

When Gu Huanian returned to Zizhu Pavilion, his elder brother, his sister-in-law, and his wife Ru, who was in an unstable fetal position, were all sitting in the main room.

Gu Li sat on the Luohan bed, and the headband that had not appeared for a long time was worn on her head again.

"Second son!" Seeing his son step into the room, he raised his hand and asked him to come over.

The smile on Gu Huanian's face froze for a moment, but he still walked over and sat next to her, "Mom, what's wrong? Is your headache coming back again?"

The Gu family had one happy event after another, and she couldn't say it was because it was too lively outside and she felt upset just listening to it.

He sighed and said, "Brother Hui is the eldest grandson of our family, and he is now 23 years old. Although our family cannot compare with the Dingguo Mansion in terms of power, Brother Hui is about the same age as the fifth master of the Jiang family. I heard that he went to the Dali Temple to serve as a junior official, so his position in the Hanlin Academy will be vacant..."

Gu Huanian understood what his mother meant, and he felt not only embarrassed but also... inexplicably confused.

It's not that they can't be compared, it's that there is no way to compare them at all.

Jiang Nansheng holds a higher official position than him!

Gu Huaqing fanned himself with a fan, "Mother, the day after tomorrow is Chu Jie'er's coming-of-age ceremony. We can talk about everything after that when I have time. Hui Ge'er is his nephew, how could he not care about him!"

"Yes, mother. Even if you want to use your connections to get things done, it will take time to arrange things. Nothing can be accomplished overnight!" Zhou said with a smile.

Gu Li was a little unhappy when she heard them say this:

"I am an old man who is about to die, but I am doing this for the sake of the Gu family. I am afraid that my brother Hui will be like his second uncle and be controlled and threatened by the Yue family in the future!"

"Mother!" Gu Huanian saw that his mother was getting more and more outrageous, so he raised his voice a little, "Mother, your mother-in-law is at Moxiangju right now. What do you want to do by calling your son here?"

...

Gu Huanian finally understood what his mother wanted to do. After she was sent back to Cuihua Courtyard, he sat back in the armchair, feeling a little tired.

With one hand on his forehead, he looked tired, "Brother, even though they said Hui Ge'er would not be implicated in the imperial examination fraud case, all these scholars are waiting anxiously at home. Mother doesn't understand, but do you understand too?"

My mother stays in the backyard all day, and now she actually wants to buy an official position with money. What a fantasy!

Gu Huaqing gave Zhou a look, and Zhou smiled and said, "Second brother, you don't know that your sister-in-law was also present at the time. Mother was bullied by the Zheng family's wife, and for the sake of the overall situation...she also wanted our Gu family to get better quickly."

"Husband, what's wrong with you today? You have been feeling unhappy since returning to Zizhu Pavilion. What happened?" Li Xianglian poured a cup of tea and placed it on the small table to his right.

Gu Huanian took a sip of tea before speaking, "The Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been imprisoned. This is a fight between gods and demons. I'm afraid the money I borrowed will never be returned. Now I just hope that the account book won't be found by anyone."

If Gu Jinchu were here, he would definitely be surprised.

In the previous life, my father knew nothing about this. It turned out that in order to get away from it, he put all the blame on the women in the back house.

Zhou swung the silk handkerchief in her hand, with a thick smile on her face, "Hey, what is the reason why I became your second uncle?"

"Our money has long been taken out of the Cao family. It was Sister Xuan..."

She praised the wealthy businessman from Jinan Prefecture as being hard to find in the sky or on earth. The most important thing was that he made a lot of money, which was a level higher than that of the Cao family!

Gu Huanian has been immersed in the officialdom for several years. How come he has never heard of this kind of person appearing in Shuntian Prefecture!

Who dares to fight against the people behind the Cao family?

Upon further questioning, I learned that my eldest brother's family, his cousin Mrs. Ru, and Sister Xuan from the Yongping Earl's Mansion had actually invested so much money at one time.

My head suddenly started buzzing and felt like it was going to explode.

He even wanted to take his mother's headband and put it on his head.

He called He Tai, who he had always trusted, and told him, "Go to Baozhu Pavilion to find Manager Huang, and you two go together to find the wealthy businessman from Jinan Prefecture to see if he is still in Xianghe. Remember not to alert the enemy."

Zhou and Li Xianglian looked at each other and said in unison, "Husband/Second Uncle, didn't something go wrong?"

Gu Huanian frowned, "Such a good thing, how come there is no news among colleagues or outsiders? I hope I am overthinking it!"

...

During dinner, Gu Jinchu once again asked his grandfather about his appetite recently.

Wu Zizhen said that the lesion was in his grandfather's stomach and he was strictly controlling his diet.

Not long ago, my grandmother said in a letter that my grandfather had the nature of a child and was always looking for food secretly. The two little cousins ​​were responsible for keeping an eye on him every day.

"Dr. Wu will also come with his family during the coming-of-age ceremony. Chu Jieer will also persuade your grandfather that he still needs supervision from the younger generations at such an old age."

Looking at his grandmother's relaxed attitude, Gu Jinchu knew that his grandfather was recovering well.

Zheng helped her mother and daughter serve the food.

Her mother had already told her everything. As a daughter, she was not as attentive as Chu Jie'er. She hugged her mother and cried bitterly.

I became more determined when making some decisions in my heart.

Gu Jinchu opened the beech wood box beside him and showed the silver bills and several property deeds inside to his grandmother and mother.

Smiling, cute and showing off.

Only then did Zheng Liu and Zheng know that their elder sister Chu had done such a big thing behind their backs.

"The hands and feet have been wiped clean. Although this kind of thing cannot be reported to the police, there will still be clues if it is really investigated." Zheng Liu asked happily.

Zheng flipped through the things in the beech wood box, which was almost as much as the dowry she had prepared for her Chu sister.

Gu Jinchu smiled and replied, "They all used their real identities, but by the time they thought of checking, the place was already empty. It was my third cousin who helped out in Jinan Prefecture, otherwise they wouldn't have been so willing to give out the money."

People really exist, they are just quickly packaged with money, only in this way can people be more convinced.

Who doesn’t want to get rich overnight? It’s just a matter of investing first and playing the long game to catch the big fish.

Mother Tong walked in, "Madam, Madam, Miss, Aunt Qiu just sent a message saying that Madam Ru prepared a big gift for our Third Miss..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng closed the box in her hand and trembled with anger. "Tomorrow is my sister Chu's coming-of-age ceremony. How dare she do this!"

Zheng Liu twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand with her thumb, calm and composed, "People are greedy, and they are gradually expanding their appetite. This is for the Zheng family behind you, and Mudan's dowry..."

"There is no such thing as regret medicine in this world. What matters is who has stronger means and who is willing to take risks!"

...

Gu Jinchu put away the house deed and the land deeds, then heard Doubao Nai whirring on the bed, and followed its gaze towards the open window.

Who else could it be if not Jiang Nansheng standing in front of the window!
