When Mrs. Xie received her son's letter, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Although it is somewhat cruel to send her son away, he is still a piece of her flesh and blood that she carried for ten months. How could parents not feel heartache?
only……
"Mother, what did Abei say in the letter?"
Looking at her charming daughter, Madam Xie felt a pang of regret for a moment.
Did I hurt my son's feelings by sending Abei away like this?
"No, it's nothing, they just asked me to send two zithers over."
Chen Shu laughed, "Then let's send the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone together. Maybe Abei will be willing to study then."
Madam Xie smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Shu'er, what do you think of that Gu family lady?"
"Although she comes from the countryside, she is very generous and easy to get along with. She is also quite interesting and has many ideas. It's just that she is a bit greedy, being a woman from a poor family."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to his mother's request.
"Being greedy isn't necessarily a bad thing. A gentleman loves money but acquires it in a proper way. As long as the money comes from honest means, it doesn't matter." She was also greedy, after all, money and valuables are indeed very appealing.
Madam Xie thought for a moment and said, "Let's do as you say and send over everything your brother can use, so he won't have to keep writing to urge us."
Her original intention was to make her son's life more comfortable, but three cartloads of things were sent over, filling the courtyard to overflowing and making Chen Bei feel embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Sister Gu, I only asked my family to bring the piano over, I didn't expect..."
The young master of the Chen family had a blush on his fair face, which made Gu An'an find the child even more adorable. "Your mother actually loves you very much."
“Yes, but she doesn’t care.” Chen Bei chuckled bitterly. “She only needed to ask one more question to find out about my current situation. I’m not saying the room is small, although it is indeed a bit small, but I like it very much.”
The young master of the Chen family had a hint of sorrow in his eyes. "She loved us very much, but she didn't care. She thought of me, but she never knew what I wanted."
If it were someone else, a truly greedy person probably wouldn't fawn over him, hoping to get more from him.
Fortunately, Sister Gu is not that kind of person.
But there are so many things, there's simply no room to put them all in. What should I do?
Only Sister Gu didn't mind and even tried to comfort herself; others might have laughed at her.
Chen Bei felt increasingly aggrieved, but remembering that he was a man, he managed to hold back his tears. "I'll have them send it back right away."
Seeing this, Gu An'an sighed softly. The neglected twin was determined to win her mother's favor, even resorting to unorthodox methods.
But she drifted further and further away from her parents.
Although Chen Bei, born into a wealthy and powerful family, was envied by most people in the world, this was not the life he wanted to live.
Gu An'an wanted to comfort him, but the young master of the Chen family had already chosen his things, leaving only the two zithers and the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and sending everything else back.
“Tell my mother not to send anything here anymore, I won’t accept it.”
Hearing this, the steward of the prefectural government felt even more that the young master was a strange person, but seeing how affectionately he called the Gu family lady "sister", he was touched but also a little flustered.
Young master, could it be that you have feelings for this young woman?
No, he must tell his wife about this.
The Chen family of Anzhou Prefecture has a long history of meritorious service. How could their son marry a woman with so many children in tow?
If this gets out, where will the Chen family's reputation be?
Gu An'an had no idea that people love to overthink things. She was simply treating Chen Bei with a tolerant and equal eye, which led people to make all sorts of wild imaginations.
If she really knew, she could only let people talk nonsense; naturally, she wouldn't take it to heart.
Gu An'an is busy with business these days.
"You know, Jiang Yong'an is really heartless. He left just because you said a few words to him, and he doesn't even want the child anymore. He's a real scoundrel."
Liu Jiuniang felt sorry for Gu An'an. She married into the family at such a young age and was now living a life of widowhood. She thought Jiang Yong'an was dead, but who knew he would suddenly reappear.
If they could just live a peaceful life together, that would be fine, but unfortunately, she has a terrible temper.
He's been missing for days. "What an ungrateful bastard!"
Gu An'an just smiled when she heard this, "I never expected anything from him anyway, we have nothing to do with each other."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiuniang's eyes widened, "Little Gu, you..."
“Mm.” Gu An’an nodded. “He can go his own way; it has nothing to do with me.”
Liu Jiuniang's eyes widened, and it took her a while to come to her senses—
They actually got divorced.
This left Liu Jiuniang speechless for a moment.
However, Gu An'an is no ordinary person; otherwise, how could she open a shop and do business?
Seeing that she seemed unaffected, Liu Jiuniang didn't try to persuade her anymore. However, she couldn't help but curse out in a fit of righteous indignation, "That Jiang Yong'an is really blind. That bastard doesn't know what's good for him. It's alright, Xiao Gu. We'll find someone better later."
"I don't care about that stinky man."
"Who wants a stinky man like that?"
Looking at Liu Jiuniang, she wished she could throw the rag in her hand at Jiang Yong'an's face, if that person were really standing in front of her.
Gu An'an laughed and said, "I don't care, men..."
A soft cough interrupted Gu An'an's words.
Looking at the person standing at the door, Gu An'an hesitated for a moment, "How long have you been here?"
It wasn't long; he just happened to overhear every single word Liu Jiuniang said to him.
