Chapter 1 Rebirth
"Fuguang, mother knows you are sensible and reasonable. Your eldest brother died in the war, and it is really not easy for your eldest sister-in-law to raise two children. We have decided to let Chuan'er take charge of both houses."
"Chuan'er has made great military achievements and has a bright future. It's impossible for you to be the only woman by his side. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Let your sister-in-law serve Chuan'er together with you. Your sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, and she can take good care of Chuan'er for you at the border in the future. You can concentrate on taking care of the family, which will also reduce your burden."
Sitting in the main seat, Mrs. Gu kept chattering about asking Gu Chuan to choose from two wives, just like in her previous life.
Xiao Fuguang only felt a splitting headache, his hand holding the teacup had turned white, and the tea in the cup was shaking slightly.
After a hundred years of hard work, I am finally back.
In her previous life, she married Gu Chuan. When Mrs. Gu suggested that Gu Chuan take care of both wives, she sympathized with the difficulties faced by a widowed sister-in-law. Gu Chuan also said that he only wanted to take care of his eldest brother's widow and for the sake of family harmony, so she agreed to the proposal.
Later, I learned that Gu Chuan and his widowed sister-in-law Zhuang Linan had been entangled at the border. They came back to the imperial city to collect the reward and to throw the child to themselves so that they could raise the child for them and continue to live a carefree life at the border.
She took care of his parents and his nephews and nieces in the imperial city and stayed in the Gu family for several years, but in return, after Gu Chuan became successful, he and Zhuang Linan schemed to have the entire family of her mother's family executed.
When he received the news and rushed back to the Xiao family, the family was flooded with blood, and even his five-year-old nephew was killed tragically.
Finally, he took out the dagger he carried with him and killed Gu Chuan and Zhuang Linan. Faced with the siege of officers and soldiers, he chose to commit suicide.
The hatred for the extermination of the entire family was irreconcilable. His own hatred prevented him from entering the reincarnation after death. He wandered around the Gu family trying to seek revenge, but his power was too weak.
Later, he was picked up by a Taoist priest. He followed the Taoist priest and did enough good deeds to gain the opportunity to live again.
Ha! The Xiao family had hundreds of people, and they had finally returned. Naturally, the entire Gu family had to die to justify the rebirth they had earned through hundreds of years of meritorious service.
Seeing that Xiao Fuguang was in a daze and didn't say anything, the displeasure in Mrs. Gu's eyes increased a little. She glanced at Xiao Fuguang with disgust, and then looked helplessly at the man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes sitting opposite Xiao Fuguang.
"Chuan'er, your mother can no longer control your daughter-in-law. As an elder, I have considered her time and time again, but she completely ignores me. It's true that when you are old, you are useless and you are even abused by your daughter-in-law."
Seeing his mother wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Gu Chuan looked at Xiao Fuguang angrily.
"Xiao Fuguang, your mother is talking to you, and you remain silent. Do you really think you can do whatever you want in the Gu family?"
Xiao Fuguang looked up and glanced at Gu Chuan coldly.
"You want to choose two rooms?"
At this time, Zhuang Linan on the side took a look at the current atmosphere, her eyes slightly red, holding a handkerchief and speaking with a choked voice.
"Sister-in-law, I know it's my fault. I didn't deserve my fate to die, leaving my husband and two children helpless. But after all, mother is the elder. Even if you have resentment in your heart, you can't turn a blind eye to what mother said."
Xiao Fuguang glanced at Zhuang Linan coldly. She looked aggrieved again. She had obviously taken advantage of him, but tears were in her eyes, as if she had been bullied by someone.
Seeing this, Gu Chuan hurried to comfort Zhuang Linan.
"Don't be angry, sister-in-law. It's Xiao Fuguang who's being naive. Don't bother with her. Let mother teach her a lesson later."
Then he looked at Xiao Fuguang, "If you were half as sensible as your sister-in-law, you wouldn't cause mother so much worry."
Xiao Fuguang suddenly sneered, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was very obvious.
"Oh………"
"So you think your wife is ignorant and likes your gentle sister-in-law, and you covet your sister-in-law and want to live with her while your elder brother's body is still warm?"
Gu Chuan's face instantly turned pale. "Xiao Fuguang, what are you talking about?"
Gu Chuan was clearly scolding but there was a hint of concealment in his voice, and it was obvious that he lacked confidence.
Zhuang Linan was stunned at first, with a hint of panic in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her pitiful look.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, but I really have nowhere else to go. We are an orphan and a widow and I really don't know how to survive. That's why I agreed to let Chuan'er take charge of both houses. I just want to live a stable life and don't want to compete with you."
As he said that, he stood up and looked at Xiao Fuguang with eyes full of humiliation.
"If you're still not satisfied, I'll kneel down before you today. I won't say a word if you want to hit me or scold me. I only ask you to stop making things difficult for Mother and Chuan'er."
Seeing Zhuang Linan about to kneel down, Xiao Fuguang raised a sarcastic smile on his face, "I'm afraid you can't kneel down."
Sure enough, Gu Chuan had already stood up and helped Zhuang Linan straighten her body.
"Xiao Fuguang, can you please understand a little bit? My sister-in-law just lost her husband and is in great pain. How can you embarrass her again and again?"
Xiao Fuguang said coldly, "If she was truly upset, she wouldn't be arguing with her brother-in-law while her husband's body is still warm. Is Big Brother's coffin still on the way? She's so eager to get into your bed, what's the difference between her and a whore in a brothel?"
Zhuang Linan's face turned miserable in an instant, her lips trembled, and tears fell one after another. This time she was really angry and cried.
"Brother...sister-in-law, how can you say that to me? How can I live with you saying that?"
"Since you are so intolerant of me, I might as well just go with your elder brother," he said as he was about to crash into the pillar beside him.
Seeing the panic, Gu Chuan hurriedly pulled Zhuang Linan and half-hugged her in his arms.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Gu also stood up anxiously.
"Li Nan, don't be silly. There are two children waiting for you to take care of them. Xiao Fuguang is ill-mannered and her words made you angry. Mother will teach her a lesson for you."
Gu Chuan also tried to comfort her anxiously.
"Sister-in-law, you are the eldest sister-in-law. An eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Since she has no family education, you can teach her a lesson. Why bother getting angry at yourself?"
Then he looked at Xiao Fuguang with dignity.
"This is the Gu family, and you can't say no. It's settled. From now on, I will take charge of both houses. From today on, you must be respectful to your eldest sister-in-law and not neglect her in the slightest. In my Gu Chuan family, no discord will be tolerated."
Even if he lived again in this life, Xiao Fuguang was still amused by these two people. He couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but speak out.
"Yeah, that's right. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. So what are you trying to do by arguing with your mother like this? Is it messy...?"
Zhuang Linan burst into tears when she heard this.
"Wow, mother, Chuan'er, I really can't live anymore. Without Gu Shan, anyone can step on me."
Gu Chuan didn't expect that Xiao Fuguang was a completely different person today. He wasn't as easy to control as before. He walked towards Xiao Fuguang angrily and said, "Kneel down and apologize to my sister-in-law immediately."
As he said that, he raised his hand and hit Xiao Fuguang in the face.
However, Xiao Fuguang picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it on Gu Chuan's head.
With a "bang", the teapot shattered, and the tea and blood mixed together and flowed down Gu Chuan's head.
Xiao Fuguang's cold voice rang out in the room.
"Are you satisfied with my apology?"
