Zhao Chuantie did not answer his question, but just glared at him fiercely.
Gu Lingze curled his lips into a smile, stuffed the five hundred taels back into his sleeve, and walked away.
Just as Zhao Hongcai was about to be dragged out of the door, Zhao Chuantie let out a sound that was almost a roar.
"I sign it!!"
After Zhao Chuantie and Hu signed a divorce agreement, Gu Lingze gave the banknote to the people in the gambling house.
Zhao Hongcai was thrown in the yard with a bruised face and nose, and Zhao Chuantie was so angry that he was half dead.
All of this is just my own fault and I won't get any sympathy from others.
Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo walked to the door, and Zhao Hongwen followed them out again.
"You agreed to pay 800 taels for the marriage, but you only paid 500 taels. Where is the remaining 300 taels?"
Gu Lingze sneered, "Eight hundred taels was the price I mentioned the first time. If you don't agree, then this time it will only be five hundred taels."
"You, you are going too far!" Zhao Hongwen shouted with a red face.
"You, the Zhao family, have always been good at crying wolf. If you are not convinced, just go to the government office and sue me. I will be at your service anytime."
After saying that, the two of them left without looking back.
After leaving Zhao's house, the two went to the government office first. With the severance letter in hand, Magistrate Tan immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare the household registration documents.
After thanking County Magistrate Tan, the two men walked out of the yamen, feeling relieved.
Looking at the two people's names written on one household registration, Zhao Chengmo felt more and more relieved.
After returning home, Gu Lingze thought it over again and again and decided to tell Zhao Chengmo the truth.
After entering the bedroom, Gu Lingze took a deep breath.
"There is something I want to tell you. The reason why Zhao Hongcai..."
"I know."
"You know?" Gu Lingze was surprised.
Zhao Chengmo looked at the other person's face and nodded.
"Then do you think what I did is too cruel?" Gu Lingze was not sure, after all, they were his family.
Zhao Chengmo looked at Gu Lingze's evasive eyes and gently embraced him in his arms.
"You can do whatever you want, but next time you go to the gambling house, leave it to me."
Gu Lingze's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
He has never been a person who worries about gains and losses. Once he has done something like this, he will not regret it.
But Gu Lingze still wanted to know what Zhao Chengmo thought. This might be the subtle emotion after falling in love.
The relationship between the two continued to heat up, but the Zhenguo Mansion was about to "boil" at this moment.
"He really did that?!" Gu Feirui's face flushed and he was very excited.
Gu Xiuyi nodded solemnly.
"How dare he!"
"Why wouldn't he dare? Gu Yangjia has been thinking about this for a long time."
"Now that I finally got what I wanted, I couldn't wait to go to my mother and tell her about it early in the morning."
An uncontrollable rage flashed across Gu Feirui's eyes, and he slammed his clenched fist heavily on the table beside him, breaking the table leg.
"Yang Jia, you will enter the Third Prince's Palace sooner or later, why rush it?"
Xie Qingwan frowned, and her forehead tightened as she looked at the springtime love in Gu Yangjia's eyes and eyebrows.
Gu Yangjia's face showed five parts of joy and five parts of pride. Now that he had finally achieved what he wanted, he was naturally satisfied.
"Mother, the Third Prince and I have always been emotional and polite. It was just that on that hunting day, he and I talked by candlelight, and I couldn't help myself, so..."
Xie Qingwan sneered in her heart, what a "candlelight chat"!
Although Gu Yangjia was being coy in his words now, Xie Qingwan knew exactly what he was thinking.
It's just the rumor that the emperor wants to appoint a crown prince, and it's now spreading like wildfire inside and outside the imperial city.
Among them, the third prince has the highest support, and his original seven points of admiration have now increased to ten points.
The Third Prince's wife has been in the palace for half a year and there is still no news of her pregnancy. Gu Yangjia certainly wants to get pregnant before the wife.
"Mother, just agree to it. The Third Prince loves me sincerely and has promised to come to my house in person to propose marriage. This is also an honor for the General's Mansion."
Xie Qingwan looked at his anxious look, sighed and said, "I will discuss it with your father when he comes back."
Gu Yangjia wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by her.
"Okay, mother knows that you have always wanted to marry the third prince, but if you are reckless and hasty in marriage, it will harm you instead."
Gu Yangjia had no choice but to lower his head and curl his lips at an angle where she couldn't see.
In the evening, Xie Qingwan told Gu Tianhua about this.
Gu Tianhua snorted coldly after hearing this, "The Third Prince is just trying to tie us all up on his boat, so as to increase his bargaining chips in the fight for the throne."
"Gu Yangjia is just being clever. The Third Prince is a man with wicked ambitions. His affectionate attitude is just a pretense of mutual exploitation."
"If he's in a hurry to get married, let him get married!"
The couple finished their discussion that night, but they did not expect that the third prince Qi Yixuan would come to propose marriage in person early the next morning with dozens of betrothal gifts.
Qi Yixuan was very humble and as soon as he saw Gu Tianhua and his wife, he called them father-in-law and mother-in-law.
However, Gu Tianhua declined such courtesy with a cold face.
"I am not worthy of being called your father-in-law. Yang Jia is just a concubine when he enters the mansion. This is not in accordance with etiquette."
After hearing this, Qi Yixuan thought that he was dissatisfied with his younger brother's position, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, although Yang Jia is not the legitimate ruler, I will definitely treat him like a pearl, a treasure and a precious jade, and will not let him suffer any grievances."
Although Gu Tianhua was not in a good mood, since he cared about the issue of status, it at least showed the position of Gu Yangjia in his heart.
Gu Feirui rolled his eyes as he listened to this. One was greedy and vain, the other was self-righteous. They were truly a perfect match.
"Gu Feirui, what's that expression on your face!" Gu Yangjia pointed at the other person with dissatisfaction.
Gu Feirui sneered, "What? You want to teach me a lesson before you even marry into the prince's mansion, you also..."
"Shut up!" Gu Xiuyi scolded with a stern face.
"Your Highness, please don't blame them. They have been like this since they were young. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Gu Xiuyi bowed.
Qi Yixuan smiled and shook his head, "I've married Yang Jia, and we're all family now. Uncle, there's no need to be so formal."
Gu Xiuyi still maintained his original posture, "I don't deserve it."
A hint of suspicion flashed across Qi Yixuan's eyes, but he immediately returned to normal and patted the other person's shoulder.
"Xiu Yi, I heard that you have been in good health these days. Seeing you today, I can see that the rumors are true."
"Which miraculous doctor cured you? Can you introduce him to me?"
Gu Tianhua had originally intended to keep the fact that Gu Xiuyi had "recovered from his illness" a secret, but after the incident at Jinyu Tower, which had caused such a big commotion, he could no longer conceal it.
So, we should just stop hiding it and let all the forces that are closely following the developments see it clearly.
"It was just a traveling doctor who gave me a folk remedy. I have been recuperating at home and have been getting better. Maybe it was just a coincidence."
