Chapter 113 If you mind, keep the chapter and return it to me when I am down and out
Wan Zhou knew exactly what Gu Wanyu was thinking, but she pretended not to hear.
Instead, he smiled and blessed: "Then I wish that Second Sister gets what she wants."
Seeking a government position?
Just wait.
Wait until the usury case comes out, and then you will cry. Not only the Jiang family will cry, but the Jiang family will cry too.
After all, Jiang's mother is only Jiang's agent. If something happens, Jiang is no longer helping the Jiang family, but the culprit who harmed the Jiang family.
Let them dog eat dog.
Gu Wanyu felt so happy that she couldn't help showing off.
"Big sister, I accept your blessing. You know, my cousin is working very hard now. He will definitely do well in the spring exam and have a bright future. As your sister, I will not ignore you.
Wan Zhou: “…”
Thanks, no need.
"Second sister, didn't you say your brother-in-law is waiting for you? It's so cold, and the Jiang family's carriage is probably not warm enough. You should go quickly, or you will get frozen and affect your chances in the spring exam."
Wan Zhou really didn't want to look at Wan Yu's ostentatious face, so he started to drive people away openly.
But after he finished saying that, he realized that he had been being rude. He was just saying that the Jiang family's carriage was not warm. Wasn't that just saying that they were poor?
Gu Wanyu was in a good mood, but she was poking at other people's sore spots. That was not good and too unkind.
Gu Wanyu's sore spot was indeed touched. As a vain person, she cared most about the Jiang family's shabby status.
Her face immediately turned ugly. It was fine that Gu Wanzhou looked down on the Jiang family before, but now a divorced woman dared to look down on the Jiang family.
"Big sister, when you are down and out, don't forget what you said today."
"Second sister, you know that I am a simple-minded person. I see mountains as mountains and water as water. If you really mind, just keep these words in your heart and return them to me when I am down and out. Then we will be even."
Gu Wanyu was really embarrassed now. Gu Wanzhou's words told her that the Jiang family was really poor, and she was just telling the truth.
She gritted her teeth and said, "How can a newlywed like me argue with an elder sister?"
"You can worry about it." Wan Zhou also wanted to make things easier.
Gu Wanyu was so angry that she wanted to die. She didn't want to offend Wanzhou anymore, so she just walked away with her sleeves swung.
As she walked, she thought to herself, Gu Wanzhou, just wait. She doesn't have to wait until you fall into poverty. She can vent her anger when her cousin passes the imperial examination.
Outside the door, Jiang Xuan was waiting in the carriage. When he saw Gu Wanyu coming out, he hurriedly got out to greet her and helped Gu Wanyu into the Jiang family's old and scarred carriage.
Jiang Xuan sat down next to Gu Wanyu, holding her against him with one hand and holding Gu Wanyu's hand with the other, stroking it gently.
In fact, Jiang Xuan noticed that Gu Wanyu looked unhappy as soon as she left the house, but he chose not to ask.
After spending these two days together, he found that Gu Wanyu really liked his physical contact. Gu Wanyu's face was not good, it was nothing more than hitting a wall with Gu Wanzhou. If he asked again, it would only add fuel to the fire, it would be better to melt it with his body.
Sure enough, when Gu Wanyu leaned on Jiang Xuan, the hostility in her heart eased a lot.
Since there were only two people in the car, she simply leaned into Jiang Xuan's arms and said lazily, "Cousin, the Spring Examination is not far away. You must not be distracted during this period and must do well in the exam."
She was just waiting for Jiang Xuanzhong to be able to hold his head high.
"I will." Jiang Xuan hugged Gu Wanyu tightly and answered.
He was also very determined to achieve success in the exam.
He already loved Gu Wanyu, and he had done such a shameful thing to her, so he felt full of guilt. He had to do well in the exam and give Gu Wanyu a good future.
In the room, as soon as Gu Wanyu left, Qiu Ge said indignantly: "Second Miss is too much. She said that we are sisters, but she just came here to poke Miss's scars on purpose."
"Qiuge, I don't have any scars." Wan Zhou corrected.
So no matter what Gu Wanyu said, it couldn't hurt her.
She wouldn't even make any waves.
……
The news that Wan Zhou asked for permission to divorce spread throughout the streets and alleys in no time.
Many people don't believe it: "Gu Wanzhou spent 300,000 yuan to marry General Ji. That's General Ji. How could she be willing to divorce him? I won't believe it even if you kill me."
Many people believed it: "She spent 300,000 yuan in the first place just to meet the emperor and ask for marriage. Now she has spent a lot of money again. Isn't it just to meet the emperor and get a divorce?"
Some people with bad intentions also said: "Gu Wanyu is really good at seeking fame and reputation. She spent some money to do her own thing and earn a reputation at the same time."
The fair-minded one said, "If you are willing to pay the money, you can also seek fame and reputation, and no one will say anything to you."
Of course, there are still many people who are secretly happy, especially those young girls who are in love. Ji Nanzheng's divorce is like a chance for them. At the same time, they are full of contempt for Wan Zhou. They think she is really blind to marry such a good general Ji and still want to divorce.
The happiest people were those prominent families who were well matched with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and had daughters of marriageable age. Ji Nanzheng's divorce meant that their daughters had a chance.
Wan Zhou didn't go to the relief center again because she didn't want to face the trouble. She heard Qiu Ge tell her about the rumors outside.
It's a mixed bag of good and bad. For a divorced woman, it's really a good situation. Although Wan Zhou feels indifferent, she is still happy.
A few days later, a plan to resettle the refugees was put into place, and more relief camps were set up to accommodate as many refugees as possible. Wanzhou took over the relief point and donated a batch of supplies to the relief camp.
She stayed at home to take care of her pregnancy.
And there is another important matter right now.
The emperor gave her a house, and logically, she should move in, but now she is used to living here and feels comfortable, and she doesn't want to move.
Very conflicted.
After some thought, I decided to move.
After all, she was a divorced woman, and living in the house granted by the emperor was also a kind of protection.
Huayang can only take the trouble to resettle them.
It was half a month later that we officially moved in. The house was not bad, about the same size as the current one, except that the garden was not as big as the current one. Huayang arranged for someone to take good care of the whole house.
The furniture was moved here, and Huayang originally suggested buying new ones, but Wanzhou felt that the ones he had used before had their own flavor and were more comfortable to use.
She also didn't want to spend money recklessly. Although Huayang said that she had more money than she thought, she could spend it, but she couldn't really spend it lavishly.
There are still two in the belly, so you have to be frugal.
……
Ji Nanzheng returned from Jiangnan in mid-February.
He also brought back his sixth brother Ji Nanxian, who was badly beaten for competing with the son of a local tyrant for the title of Oiran.
Linhui Hall of Madam Wang
Ji Nanzheng was dusty and his face was weather-beaten; Ji Nanxian was wearing a brand new brocade suit and looked very energetic. If his foot had not healed yet from the beating and he had been leaning on a crutch, one would have thought he was going to meet a girl based on his attire and spirits.
Ji Nanxian is Mrs. Wang's youngest son. As everyone knows, the youngest in the family holds a very special place in his mother's heart. Mrs. Wang was relieved to see her youngest son return safely, but she couldn't help scolding him when she saw his crutch.
In the end, even if you have caused a big disaster, as long as you come back, it’s good.
Ji Nanzheng had worked hard along the way, so the Duke and Madam Wang naturally felt sorry for him and asked him about his well-being.
Seeing that he was a little tired, Mrs. Wang asked him to go back and rest. As for Wan Zhou's matter, Mrs. Wang felt that there was no rush.
"Mother, I have a request." Ji Nanzheng did not go back immediately.
