Chapter 291: The First Grand Secretary (The End)

With Wen Wan and Shen's mother helping with all the wedding arrangements, Shen's mother was finally at ease. Her daughter had married well. She had witnessed firsthand while staying at the Gu family home that Gu Sui was an exceptionally good son-in-law. Her son, whom she had previously thought was unreliable and worried about excessively, had found a good wife. Not only had he changed his former playboy habits, but he had also become more ambitious. He had begun to take over the family business and even started his own business, which put Shen's father at ease. He had finally lived up to the expectations of Shen's ancestors. This spendthrift had finally seen the light.

Soon an auspicious day was chosen, and the two families arranged the marriage.

Shen Yuechu married the girl he fell in love with at first sight, like a dream come true. After all, he had been in despair ever since he learned her identity. Who would have thought that things would take a turn for the better and that he would actually win the heart of his beauty?

This is truly the pinnacle of my life.

Wen Wan, holding Gu Sui's hand, watched the newlyweds bow to heaven and earth, and then watched her own brother get completely drunk and be carried into the bridal chamber. She was also happy and drank quite a bit. She had been worried every day for a while and couldn't do anything, but now that she had finally encountered a great thing, she started to indulge herself.

In the end, Wen Wan also got completely drunk and collapsed in Gu Sui's arms as she was taken back.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen were happy to entertain the guests throughout the event, and they were also very amiable with their in-laws.

They initially felt pressured, since although their in-laws were no longer prime ministers, their influence remained. The couple never dreamed they would have such a powerful in-law.

On the other hand, the other party did not have any condescending attitude at all. Since they had accepted Shen Yuechu as their son-in-law, they naturally wouldn't say anything or do anything bad.

Besides, seeing that his daughter had found a good husband, even though the man wasn't an official and wasn't pursuing a career in government, he was still an ambitious young man who was doing well in business. At least his daughter wouldn't suffer hardship after marrying into the family. Moreover, after experiencing Lin Weiquan's previous in-laws, he had become a Buddhist. Even if the families were well-matched, it wasn't necessarily a good thing. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Afterwards, Shen's father gradually moved his business from Linxian County to the capital, and bought a house there, settling down permanently in the capital.

A few months later, Shen Yuechu's wife, who was also Wen Wan's sister-in-law, became pregnant. This was another great thing. Shen Yuechu was so happy that he was completely out of his mind. He spoiled his wife in every way, which made Wen Wan's teeth ache. She could only go to Gu Sui and then retaliate with her sourness, which was very childish.

However, there was also envy.

She asked the system, and the system said that she was not from this world and could not leave any descendants, so it was impossible for her to have a child with Gu Sui.

This will always be a regret.

However, Gu Sui didn't mind. He even said it was a good thing, because that way Wen Wan would belong to him alone and wouldn't have any attention diverted.

After ten months of pregnancy, the children were born—twins.

Shen Yuechu asked Gu Sui, the most cultured person in the family, to name her two children. One was named Shen Yangze, and the other was named Shen Mingxin, both of which had excellent meanings.

Gu Sui quickly discovered that although he and A Yuan didn't have children, A Yuan's attention was still drawn to them, as were the two children. They would cry even when their own father held them, and wail when their own grandparents held them. Not to mention him, he was already fuming before he even got close to them. This was strange. Only when Wen Yuan held them did the two children become more and more obedient, and even laugh happily.

According to Shen's mother, this is a predestined connection.

Wen Wan also adored her niece and nephew, spending her days playing with them and having a wonderful time. When they went shopping, she would buy them all sorts of things: pretty little clothes, cute little shoes, pretty little pendants, and all kinds of longevity locks, etc.

Then he decisively forgot himself and Gu Sui.

Even at night, Gu Sui originally wanted to sleep with his wife Xiangxiang, but the two children started crying, making Shen Yuechu's head feel like it was going to explode. And his wife was still in the postpartum care center, and it was not good for her health if she didn't get enough rest. How could he bear to do that?

So he took the two children to his younger sister's place and then decisively left them with his sister to take care of them that night.

They claim it's for the sake of learning in advance, so that they'll have experience when they have children in the future.

Gu Sui: "..."

Speechless, utterly speechless. So the two children slept between the two of them. In the middle of the night, Shen Yangze actually climbed on top of him and peed. Gu Sui picked him up and was forced to deal with the child's uncontrollable instincts. After he finished, his wife was fast asleep with Mingxin in her arms, while he and the little guy were staring at each other.

The next day, she decisively took the child to see Shen Yuechu.

Shen Yuechu cried as soon as she held him. These two children only loved their mother and Wen Wan. Shen's mother could occasionally hold them, but only after the two children had eaten and drunk their fill. As for the other three men, they couldn't be touched at all; they were very spoiled.

So every night, Wen Wan had to take care of the two children.

Gu Sui was in a bad mood, looking at the two children as if they were his enemies. He vented all his resentment on his official duties, becoming more and more enthusiastic at work. Even the emperor couldn't bear to exploit his subject and wanted to give him a vacation, but Gu Sui was so energetic that the emperor had no choice but to assign him more tasks.

Wen Wan belatedly realized that she seemed to have neglected her lover, so she handed the two children over to Chen's mother to take care of, and then focused on cultivating her relationship with Gu Sui. Gu Sui felt wronged, just like a child who couldn't get candy.

After that, he took a half-month leave of absence and left the capital with Wen Wan to travel to other places.

He stayed by Wen Wan's side every day, inseparable for even a moment.

He was so happy that the two of them wouldn't have children. If they did have children in the future, and those two children were as clingy to his wife as Shen Yuechu and her husband, he would go crazy and might even throw the children away.

He's petty; he only wants the two of them to be together.

No third party is required.

...

Wen Wan and Gu Sui lived together in this world. Gu Sui did not die young, but lived to a ripe old age and passed away peacefully, holding Wen Wan's hand tightly as he left.

Her eyes were still full of love.

"After I'm gone, you stay with me, and don't forget me afterward."

Wen Wan nodded.

As Gu Sui closed his eyes, Wen Wan also closed her eyes at the same time, leaving this world behind.

During his lifetime, Gu Sui served as the Grand Secretary for most of his life. Even after a new prince ascended the throne, Gu Sui still held great power, becoming a loyal and powerful minister who left his mark in history.

Shen Yuechu later became the richest man in the capital. Like his brother-in-law, Shen Yuechu only had one wife in his life and never took a concubine.

After growing up, Shen Yangze entered officialdom. He later married but did not take any concubines. As for Shen Mingxin, she became Shen Yuechu's successor and expanded the business.

This family can be described as being full of romantics.

It even improved the prevailing social atmosphere of having multiple wives and concubines among unmarried men and women. Women now expect to have one lover for life. If you say that's impossible, then how come the Prime Minister Gu and the richest man in the Shen family could achieve that?

As for the female protagonist who was reborn into this world at the very beginning, no one knows where she escaped to or what kind of life she led.
