Gu Ji's words completely calmed Xie down.

"My dear, I don't want a divorce! And I don't want to write a letter of severance!"

Xie lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

She's not stupid.

I am almost forty years old and have already become a grandmother.

If she gets divorced at this age, what will she do in the future?

Remarry?

Haha, at her age, she can only marry an older widower.

She no longer became a stepmother, but was directly upgraded to a step-grandmother.

Moreover, at her age, it is difficult for her to have children again.

If she does not have biological children with her remarried husband, she will never be able to integrate into the new family.

The stepmother is in an awkward position, and the stepgrandmother is even more embarrassed.

It is obvious that in the Gu family, she can live a good life with her husband respecting her and her son and daughter-in-law being filial to her.

Why do you have to remarry and give yourself an embarrassing identity?

Xie is not stupid!

She would favor Gu Youyi, not only because of her original love for her daughter, but also because Gu Youyi was very lucky and could give her greater honor.

However, such a "great fortune" will take several years or even more than ten years to achieve.

For a beautiful dream that is still uncertain, she gave up her current rich and comfortable life.

Haha, she would have to be crazy to make such a choice!

Besides, even if she didn't stay in the Northern Dynasty, Gu Youyi was still her biological daughter.

When the Yuwen family unifies the world in the future, the Xie family can still regain that glory by relying on their blood relationship!

At most, I can apologize to my daughter and try to comfort her.

How can there be any overnight hatred between mother and daughter?

Not to mention, her departure was not voluntary. Her husband fed her medicine, tied her up and moved her to a carriage.

...Mrs. Xie has already thought about how to cry to her daughter in the future.

Therefore, Xie directly rejected Gu Ji's "suggestion", "My dear, I just can't let go of Li Nu!"

"But I really never thought of leaving you, leaving Jiro and Goro."

The Erlang and Wulang mentioned by Xie were the two sons she gave birth to for Gu Ji.

Both sons have married and have grandchildren!

“…”

Gu Ji glanced at Xie indifferently. He did not try to confirm whether his wife's words were sincere or false.

None of this matters!

Gu Ji was already disappointed with his wife, and from then on, the couple could only treat each other with respect.

Gu Ji didn't care whether it was true or not.

Besides, at their age, they no longer care about love.

Family and children and grandchildren are the most important.

If the wife is content, she can continue to be the mistress of the second house.

If the wife is still confused, let her go back to the inner courtyard to rest.

Zuoyou Erlang's wife is a capable person, and he can completely take charge of the household affairs and take care of everything in the second room on his behalf.

"Okay! Now that you've made your decision, be content."

Gu Ji nodded slightly, indicating that he was willing to give his wife another chance.

And then, nothing happened.

He did not let the maid feed his wife medicine again, but he did not loosen the ropes that bound her.

Xie: ...Humph! Gu Ji is so good, he still doesn't trust me.

They were afraid that she would cause trouble on the way and affect Gu's "return south" plan!

Gu Ji would probably let her go only after everyone got on the boat, the boat was in the water, and far away from the land of the Northern Dynasty!

Xie felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare argue or quarrel with her husband.

Having been married for more than 20 years, Xie knows her husband very well.

He looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he is stubborn and strong.

He rarely breaks out, but once he does, even his parents-in-law, elder brother, and others are helpless.

And this time, it was obvious that Gu Ji had really made up his mind.

They even did things like drugging and tying people up.

Xie is not smart, but she is not really stupid.

It is still possible to read people's faces and understand the current situation.

If you are tied up, just tie you up. You won’t be left behind.

Once they were on the boat and had left Northern Dynasty, he would naturally let her go.

…

The carriage shook for another half a month and finally arrived in Tianjin.

When we arrived at the dock, we saw a huge ship quietly docked.

"My Lord! My Lady!"

The Gu family's steward had been waiting at the dock for a long time. He was very excited to see his master and mistress whom he had not seen for many years.

He took a few quick steps, came closer, and saluted respectfully.

"Ah Zhao, it's you!"

"After not seeing you for a few years, you've become more mature!"

Gu Yi was somewhat excited to see his old friend.

"My dear, I am not mature, I am old!"

The old servant, who was over forty years old and had white hair on his temples, had slightly red eyes and was joking with his master.

"Are Father and Qing all right?"

"This ship should be the treasure ship that Ah Qing mentioned."

After a few pleasantries, Gu Yi began to ask questions that concerned him.

"Let my dear know that my husband is very good, but my third wife is even better!"

"My dear, you guessed correctly. This is the treasure ship. Sanniang worked with the Huang family of Yuezhou and it took three years to build it."

It has nine masts and twelve sails, four decks, a deep draft, and a large size, so it is not afraid of the wind and waves on the sea.

After Gu Qingcheng "occupied" Guangcheng, he began to vigorously promote this sea behemoth.

The wealthy families and tycoons in Guangcheng were all attracted by the treasure ship and successfully reached a cooperation with Gu Qingcheng.

In addition to maritime trade, it is also possible to transport goods by sea.

There was no Grand Canal in this era, and there was no water transport like in later generations.

All transportation depends on land.

The conditions on land are very poor, which makes transportation difficult.
