"Isn't it ridiculous that the couple had such a huge fight? My mother probably held onto her resentment so much that she felt like she was taking it all out on us siblings." Sheng Qing felt speechless every time he thought about it.
There's more than just a problem; the problem is huge.
Fu Wanning touched her chin. "Could your mother be an imposter?"
Sheng Qing thought for a moment and replied with a complicated expression, "Chu Xuan tested me a few times, and it was true... That's why I'm even more depressed. Besides, it's not surprising that her personality has changed a bit. Even my sister-in-law's personality has changed. She used to be so weak and was often bullied by Gu Qiulin, the second branch of the family, and the He family. Now, hasn't she turned the tables?"
"The same goes for our leader. He was originally an unknown soldier, but one day he suddenly became very powerful, made countless merits, was promoted to regimental commander, and even hit it off with Pei Chuan. Together they founded our mysterious department."
Hearing this, Gu Wanwan already had a good idea of what was going on. "I need to see him in person to be sure."
With his sister-in-law's help, Sheng Qing was overjoyed. "My sister was worried that she was keeping this from Pei Chuan and didn't want to mention my troublesome mother to you."
Cui Hailu and her daughter, and Pei Danfeng and her daughter, did not expect that what they thought were clever methods were nothing new to Sheng Qing.
How can we manage now? Not to mention, Sheng Qing also has a peculiar woman who claims to be his fiancée, who is also the darling of Sheng Qing's own mother.
Xie Meigui couldn't accept being rejected in public. "Chief Sheng, I've severed ties with my family and am no longer a member of the lower five aristocratic families. I can help you deal with your godmother's daughter. I'm not bad looking, so you won't lose out if you marry me."
Sheng Qing exclaimed that it was an eyesore and retorted without any mercy, "You're too ugly. Even if you've severed ties with your family, you still have the blood of a collateral branch of the lower five aristocratic families in your bones. My Sheng family has a rule that we are absolutely not allowed to marry a woman from a lower five aristocratic family. Back then, the Gu family and the Zhao family of the lower five aristocratic families arranged a marriage in the name of peaceful coexistence, but in the end, the Zhao family stabbed us in the back. From then on, there was no possibility of marriage between the upper and lower aristocratic families. Once you've been fooled, will you be fooled a second time?"
"Don't even dream about it. I have no interest in you scumbag women. You think you can blackmail me into marrying you? Keep dreaming."
When Gu Wanwan mentioned the marriage alliance between the Gu family and the Zhao family, she found it utterly ridiculous. Her elder brother Gu Sijin's fiancée personally came to break off the engagement when the Gu family was demoted, publicly embarrassing the Gu family, and even announcing that Gu Ziqi, the second son of the Gu family, who was also the reborn heroine's older brother, was her fiancé.
It seems the two of them got together a long time ago, trying to embarrass the older brother, but unfortunately the older brother has never been interested in Zhao Jingrui.
Of course, Zhao Jingrui was involved in the Gu family's demotion, and the Zhao family was the mastermind. The purpose of the five lower families was clear: they did not really want a marriage alliance, but rather wanted to overthrow the five upper families and obtain the secret of the legendary treasure they possessed.
Gu Yarou is a very hypocritical reborn woman. She doesn't allow any women to get close to He Wenyan, but she is happy to find multiple wives for Gu Ziqi through a "selection" process. She facilitates Gu Ziqi's relationship with Zhao Jingrui and wants to matchmake He Shuyan as Gu Ziqi's "concubine," making him like an emperor with three palaces and six courtyards. There will definitely be other women from good families later.
Why was she so fearless? Because she considered herself a chosen one, with the protagonist's halo. She wanted to consolidate all the power of the Gu family's second branch, becoming a powerful and influential person with both power and money.
Now that Zhao Jingrui knows the Gu family has been exonerated, I wonder how she will react? Will she regret giving up her older brother?
Regardless of whether they regret it or not, the Gu family will never accept the fickle Zhao family daughter again.
