Chapter 28 Divorce
Gu Wanru was so angry that she pointed at Gu Huan's nose and started cursing.
"Bitch, you shamelessly did such a despicable thing as offering yourself to someone else, you should hang yourself. You still want me to conceal it for you? I must report this to my father and mother, you must come back with me and apologize to them immediately!"
Gu Huan ignored her abuse and said lightly, "Sister, whether I return to the Marquis' Mansion or not depends on the Duke's decision."
Gu Wanru was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You, you planned this all along, right? How dare you lie to me!"
Gu Huan smiled slightly and didn't need to use the honorific title: "Haven't you lied to me enough? What did you say when you asked me to enter the Duke's Mansion? You said I could study by your side and that you could find a better family for me in the name of the Duke's Mansion.
You just want me to be your stepping stone. You and the young master are trampling on me, aren't you treating me as the lowest of low? how? Can't the thing in your hand be disobedient? Can't resist? Big sister, please open your eyes and see clearly, I am not a toy, I am a human being. As human beings, we have the right to choose how to live. ”
She and her mother thought that they were using Gu Huan as a stepping stone to secure her favor, but they didn't expect that they would actually let a wolf into the house!
Gu Wanru rushed forward angrily, raising her hand to slap him.
Just as Akabane, who was hiding nearby, was about to move, he saw a flash of light.
Gu Wanru didn't see clearly who was coming, she only heard a snap and her wrist bone broke. She screamed and grabbed her arm, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He looked up suddenly and saw Mu Junyan standing there sternly.
She was so frightened that she choked back her tears. She endured the severe pain and said in shock, "Father, how could you do this? Where can I put my daughter-in-law's face?"
Mu Junyan looked disdainfully at Gu Wanru who was sitting on the ground, a terrifying chill emanating from his whole body.
"In the Duke's Mansion, bullying and taking advantage of the weak are not allowed. As Mu An's wife, you should be a good wife and mother to your husband, but you indulge Mu An to bully other women. If it weren't for the baby in your belly, I would give you a divorce letter!"
Gu Wanru's face turned pale.
Ignoring the pain in his hands, he knelt on the ground, crying and banging on the bluestone slabs.
"Father, you have been bewitched by that bitch. She came into the mansion just to climb up the social ladder and become your husband's concubine. But after she saw you, she wanted to climb even higher. Father, I am the daughter-in-law of the Mu family. I should consider the Mu family and will never allow my sister to bring disgrace to the Mu family."
Gu Huan looked at Gu Wanru, who always claimed to be noble, and acted like a madman, and thought of the suffering she had endured in her previous life.
She spoke calmly and slowly, "My elder sister has always liked to confuse right and wrong since she was a child, and always puts all the mistakes on me. Could it be that your memory was eaten by a dog?
It was obvious that you couldn't win over your brother-in-law's heart, and it was obvious that you couldn't control his women, but in order to secure your position as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, you and my aunt tricked me into the mansion, forced me to sign a slave document, and forcefully gave me to your brother-in-law.
Isn't it Aunt Pei's concern for your so-called future that has brought you to this point today? Every inch of my skin on my fingers and toes has been pricked by you with thousands and tens of thousands of needles. I live a life of hunger and cold, drinking urine and eating feces, isn't this what you gave me? You don't treat me as a human being, but I am a living person. Why should I let you slaughter me? ”
Every word Gu Huan spoke was full of tears.
All the sufferings from the previous life poured out at this moment.
With a smile on his face, his eyes were bleeding.
Mu Junyan frowned.
If she knew that her life had been swapped, would she be even more heartbroken?
He gently squeezed her trembling shoulders and gave her a reassuring look.
He turned around, blocked her behind him, and looked at Gu Wanru indifferently.
"Gu Huan will come back to the Gu Mansion today. You better watch your mouth, otherwise, all you will have left is a divorce letter."
Gu Huan was surprised. Looking at the tall figure that was protecting her, her nose felt sore.
Gu Wanru's lips trembled and she was speechless for a long time.
The father-in-law actually wants to divorce his daughter-in-law because of a bitch!
She must not be divorced!
Gu Wanru struggled and knelt forward two steps: "Father, have you forgotten why you asked for a daughter-in-law for your husband? Doesn't the promise you made to my father and mother in the Gu Mansion count?
Isn't it for your son's happiness that your daughter-in-law asked Gu Huan to be your husband's concubine? What did I do wrong to deserve the divorce? Gu Huan took her anger out on me because she resented Aunt Pei for treating her badly.
Given her humble background, she could at most marry a man from a poor family or a merchant family. If she follows her daughter-in-law, she can become the concubine of the only son of the Duke's Mansion and the future prince. If she is lucky in the future, she can be promoted to concubine. This is the blessing she has earned in several lifetimes. How has her daughter-in-law harmed her?
This bitch was clearly trying to cling to my father and use him to get revenge on me. Father, you must see clearly her vicious intentions! ”
Gu Huan laughed out of anger.
It turned out that people were persecuting her for her own good.
She stood beside Mu Junyan and glanced at Gu Wanru who was kneeling on the ground: "Yes. I deliberately hooked up with the Duke because I wanted to survive. Sister, can you tell me why she would rather use my life to exchange for your wealth and glory when I am obviously the biological daughter of Aunt Pei?"
Gu Wanru's crying suddenly stopped and her face was filled with fear.
Did she know something?
Gu Huan stared at her intently, and seeing her expression, he was certain that she also knew the truth.
Her mother loved her like a treasure, but she persecuted her mother's own daughter!
Gu Wanru's voice suddenly became quiet: "Yes, it's because Aunt Pei wants to please me. She comes from a lowly merchant family, has no education and limited knowledge, and can't do things in a decent way."
I wonder what Aunt Pei would feel when she heard her own daughter say that her mother was of humble origin?
Gu Huan chuckled. "To please? I'll sacrifice my life. If you don't know, you'd think you're Aunt Pei's biological child."
Gu Wanru didn't want to talk about this with Gu Huan anymore, for fear that the matter would be exposed.
She cried and begged Mu Junyan, "Father, your daughter-in-law has not violated the seven grounds for divorce, you can't divorce me. Gu Huan is the daughter of the Gu family, do you want to embarrass your in-laws for her?"
Although the Gu family is a marquisate, they are also a family of old ministers and a hundred-year-old noble family. The Gu family will not agree to let my father and son take us sisters away. If this matter gets out, not only will our Gu family's reputation be destroyed, but your reputation will also be wiped out, and the censors in the Censorate will also impeach you. Father, please think twice. ”
Gu Huan was not happy and stuck her head out from behind Mu Junyan: "My reputation is earned by fighting on the battlefield, making great military achievements, and protecting the people of the world. Do you think that two little girls like you and I can ruin my reputation? Sister, are you overthinking it?"
Mu Junyan stretched out his hand and pressed his head back, his face became even colder, and his tone was indifferent: "Gu Huan will go back home on her own today. You should go back and reflect on your mistakes."
Gu Wanru was stunned.
Gu Huan went back to Gu Mansion by herself. Will she be under house arrest?
However, at noon, her husband was still waiting for Gu Huan in Yichun Courtyard.
If the husband finds out that the woman he likes is with his father, he will definitely resent her.
"Father, I want to go back home with her." Gu Wanru screamed.
Mu Junyan said in a deep voice: "Take him away."
Jin Kui, who had not dared to say a word, quickly supported her and said, "Madam, let's go."
"No, I want to take her back home..."
She must not let the little bitch succeed, she must not let the bitch ride on her head!
Chiyu struck with a palm strike, and Gu Wanru fell softly into Jinkui's arms.
Jin Kui was so frightened that she was shaking all over and had no way of helping the unconscious Gu Wanru to her feet.
Akabane curled his face, and two people appeared out of nowhere, carried Gu Wanru onto a bench, and walked away like a dead pig.
Jin Kui trembled her lips, climbed up, and followed staggeringly.
Mu Junyan turned around and looked at Gu Huan: "Get ready and go back home soon."
Gu Huan was stunned: "I..."
"I'll have someone accompany you back, don't worry."
Mu Junyan tied her cloak tightly and straightened her collar: "I have something to ask you when you come back."
Gu Huan nodded obediently: "Okay."
What did he ask himself?
Could it be that he wanted to confirm what other intentions she had?
Gu Huan's mind was in a mess. She had just said the most arrogant words in her two lives, all just to deliberately irritate Gu Wanru.
She looked up at the sky and saw a cool breeze of early autumn blowing towards her, blowing away her previous joy.
The mother's family that forced her to fall into the abyss and die without a burial place...
She also wants to go back and see her biological mother.
But thinking about this makes my heart ache and I feel upset and uneasy.
