The two nephews spent a huge sum of money to redeem the prostitute. This fact was too sensational, and Chang had heard about it a long time ago.
Carelessly sipping her teacup, Chang glanced at Jiang Yueling, who was stroking her hair, and said, "Tingzhou, may I ask you one more question: what are your plans after breaking off the engagement?"
Gu Tingzhou looked at Jiang Yueling and replied calmly: "I plan to marry Yueling."
Hearing this, Chang suddenly stopped drinking the tea that was about to reach her mouth.
This is really an unheard-of rare thing. Instead of marrying a good lady from a noble family, he wants to marry a prostitute. No wonder the Duke beat his son.
"Aunt, you don't know."
Gu Tingchen quickly tried to explain, "Our cousin from the Ye family is truly scheming and extremely despicable. She has been pretending to be submissive in front of us brothers for so many years, but in reality, she has long been plotting to marry into the Duke's Mansion. For this reason, she even invited her father to our house today."
Gu Tingzhou also took over the conversation: "Her aunt is not a good person to begin with. If she is really allowed to marry in, I really don't know whether the Duke's Mansion will be named Gu or Ye in the future."
"Tingzhou, Tingchen, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Chang had seen the girl from the Ye family before, and she was not as bad as they said.
Putting down the teacup calmly, Chang's cunning eyes swept over Jiang Yueling, and she spoke cautiously, "After all, we are related. We should not be too extreme unless it is absolutely necessary."
Jiang Yueling seemed to have sensed something and quickly knelt down, confessing miserably, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have acted on my own and tried to please Miss Ye, but I ended up making things worse and angered Miss Ye."
She was halfway through her words when she burst into tears: "I have harmed the young master and the second young master. I cannot atone for my sins even if I die a hundred times."
Gu Tingchen deliberately showed his distress again, and hurriedly helped the person up: "Yueling, you were so kind, but she pushed you into the water cruelly. Why are you taking the blame on yourself?"
Gu Tingzhou was not to be outdone, and rubbed his brows speechlessly: "Yueling, we have told you so many times, from now on you are the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, you can no longer call me a slave."
Chang got goosebumps all over her body watching this and could only sigh silently.
I didn't say anything harsh, but the woman started crying like a pear blossom in the rain, looking like a prostitute, like a demon that no one could mess with.
Anyway, she knew her own lord's temper well. As long as it involved his two nephews, he would help them even if it meant his wife and children were torn apart. She didn't dare say anything else.
"Tingzhou, Tingchen, you brothers and Miss Yueling will stay at the mansion for the time being and recover from your injuries. Your aunt will immediately send a message to inform your uncle."
Chang said bluntly, "After all, if we want your aunt to compromise, I'm afraid your uncle's words will have more weight."
Gu Tingzhou nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking. I'll write a letter later. Please ask Aunt to send someone to take it along."
"good."
Chang responded briefly and gave a few more instructions. She left the housekeeper to serve in the hall and quickly slipped out.
With his uncle and aunt making the decision, Gu Tingzhou was completely relieved, and the two brothers settled down in the marquis' mansion with peace of mind.
......
It was five days later that Ye Wanshu learned that the two brothers had gone to the Wuping Marquis Mansion.
With the help of Wuping Hou Xie Zhan, she felt more confident.
It seemed that the marriage was almost cancelled, and now all that was missing was the final step. She had to urge her father to meet the emperor.
While washing and changing her clothes, she began to instruct the two maids: "Chunhong, go tell my aunt that I'm going back to my father's house to stay for a few days. Xingtao, hurry up and pack some clothes."
Chunhong and Xingtao left immediately.
These days, Ye Wanshu has put the things in the house in order. Apart from the gifts given to her by the Gu brothers, there are not many things she can take away. So, apart from the bank's bills and a few important items, she does not plan to take the rest.
After finishing his work, he took the two maids out, and Ye Huaisu had already led people to guard the gate of the mansion.
Seeing that she didn't bring much gifts, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wanwan, your uncle has already gone to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. I believe that your wedding to the Crown Prince will be arranged in a few days."
Ye Huaisu earnestly warned, "Aunt has prepared a carriage for you and some small gifts for your sisters. Don't be stingy when you return to the Ji family, or you will bring disgrace to our Duke's Mansion."
"Wanwan has made a note of it." Ye Wanshu answered obediently, but she snorted in her heart.
Giving gifts to those sisters is worse than feeding them to dogs. At least they can still hear the sound.
Ye Huaisu couldn't guess her treacherous thoughts. He helped her get into the carriage and said, "Your father must still be angry about what happened at the Jiji Banquet. When you return to the Ji family, you should comfort him."
"I will." Ye Wanshu smiled at her and then lowered the curtain.
For some reason, Ye Huaisu suddenly felt uneasy and chased after her, calling out, "Wanwan, you'll be staying for a few days. Remember to come back early. Your aunt will be arranging a good marriage for you at home."
Before receiving a response, the wheels had already started to roll slowly towards the Ji family's direction.
Ye Wanshu curled her lips. There was no marriage to be arranged when she came back. At most, she would just say goodbye.
Sitting idly in the carriage, Ye Wanshu's eyes wandered and she saw several exquisite gift boxes placed in the corner.
You don't even have to open it to see, you can guess that it contains some girls' jewelry and hairpins.
My aunt's dowry was quite generous, and the Duke's Mansion was wealthy. Given her vain and face-conscious nature, I'm afraid any one of the gifts she prepared would cost an ordinary family several years' worth, and was definitely not comparable to the Ji family's.
