The envelope didn't specify who it was addressed to, but once opened, it became clear that it was addressed to Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian, and was signed by Lu Zheng.
In his letter, Lu Zheng expressed his sincerity, stating that he would marry no one but Gu Xin in this lifetime. The contents of this bundle were all the houses, shops, and land under his name. Everything currently owned by him in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was contained in this bundle.
He also specified the source of these items, half of which were his own business over the past few years, and the other half were property allocated to him by Master Zhou.
What he didn't say was that Master Zhou originally intended to give him everything, but he gave a portion to his sister, Lu Xue.
Although Lu Xue's mother gave all of her dowry to her when she got married, Lu Zheng felt that Lu Xue had suffered a lot taking care of him when she was young, and he couldn't take all of the property for himself.
Just as Gu Xin thought, Lu Zheng owned businesses in all of the nearly twenty prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for Kunzhou.
Among them were inns, restaurants, cosmetic shops, embroidery and clothing stores, porcelain shops, a fleet of ships sailing overseas, and more...
Gu Xin sighed once again, realizing how incredibly wealthy her brother Yuanyuan was, far richer than she was.
Lu Zheng handed all these things over to Gu Xin without reservation.
The letter also stated that Gu Xin did not need to manage these shops personally. His people would come to him every year with account books and banknotes. He had already instructed his subordinates last year that starting this year, everything should be done according to the instructions of the third daughter of the Gu family.
He will first hand over the business to Gu Xin, and in the future, he will earn even more glory for Gu Xin.
His mother died early, and his father thought he had died suddenly. His identity was not exposed. He actually wanted to ask his maternal grandparents to arrange a marriage for him, but he always felt that it would be unfair to Xin Xin.
Therefore, he wanted to achieve great things, he wanted to marry Gu Xin in the name of Lu Zheng in a dignified manner, to give Gu Xin glory, and to give Gu Xin a grand wedding banquet.
Gu Xin was moved without knowing the truth, while Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian sighed inwardly after reading the letter.
This child has really had a tough time.
With Gu Ren, the original author, present, the couple knew what Lu Zheng was thinking in his previous life.
A courtesan could never marry a high-ranking official. Even if she did, she wouldn't receive the title she deserved. At banquets, as the wife of a first-rank official, she wouldn't even have a title and would have to be subordinate to other noblewomen. She herself might not feel anything, but her husband would certainly feel resentful.
Cai Xiaolian didn't understand these things before; Gu Shouxin explained them to her.
In the book, Lu Zheng tries his best to move into the Lin family and his stepmother's house, trying every means to give Gu Xin a legitimate status and to give her a grand wedding banquet. Unfortunately, in the end, the two are separated by death.
Now, because Gu Xin's identity has changed, Lu Zheng needs to work even harder to be worthy of her.
Perhaps he didn't think that much when he was reborn; he just thought that being able to live a peaceful and warm life with Gu Xin earlier would be enough.
Years later, he realized that the emperor would not allow him to continue acting as Zhou Yuan; he had to be Lu Zheng.
He is Lu Zheng, so he must be the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo. As the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, he must have enough power to marry Gu Xin and prevent her from being bullied.
Of course, he knew that Gu Xin in this life could protect herself, but as a man, he couldn't just think about women protecting themselves; he also had to give her what she deserved.
