Lord Xie originally intended to buy the land in Yuzhou Prefecture himself, but Madam Xie had a large dowry and was unwilling to give it to him.
When the Gu family bought the land together with Madam Xie, they took advantage of a loophole. At that time, Inspector He happened to be in Yuzhou. After Madam Xie bought the land, she only put her children's names on the deed, specifying that it was her children's private property.
Two years have passed, and houses and shops have been built on those lands, all belonging to Madam Xie and her Gu family. Lord Xie can see them but can't have them, so he must be furious.
Having figured out the key point, Cai Xiaolian asked Gu Xin to send someone to Linzhou to tell Xie Nanfeng about the matter and let him handle it.
Judging by the speed at which the mail was delivered, Xie Zhiyi would have set off as soon as he wrote the letter, and he should be arriving in Linzhou by now.
Cai Xiaolian was still very worried about her, a fourteen-year-old girl going out alone, even if she had only a smattering of martial arts skills.
She has a fourteen-year-old daughter, and she couldn't believe that her daughter, Xinxin, was living alone away from home.
After the two sisters left, Cai Xiaolian went to her desk, picked up her pen, and began writing a letter to Madam Xie.
She wasn't trying to persuade them to divorce; she was just suggesting that there was another way.
In ancient times, many women would endure humiliation for the sake of their children and families, perhaps never imagining that they could get a divorce!
Moreover, the concept of divorce was proposed by the Great Zhou Dynasty; previous dynasties only had the option of divorce, not divorce.
When Cai Xiaolian was pregnant with Gu Xiaoba last year, she read a lot of history books. The Great Zhou Dynasty overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty and still promulgated many regulations that were beneficial to women.
For example, divorce and remarriage, or divorce and establishing a separate household for the woman.
In the previous dynasty, women who were divorced did not have a strong enough heart to face the gossip and judgment of those around them; they probably wouldn't have survived.
Moreover, there were no female households in the previous dynasty. Women were truly obedient to their fathers at home, to their husbands after marriage, and to their sons after their husbands died.
If a woman marries and her husband dies, leaving only daughters and no sons, her husband's property will be taken away by the clan after the daughters marry.
Overall, the Great Zhou Dynasty was much better than the previous dynasty.
Cai Xiaolian wrote a thick stack of letters, put them in an envelope, and went to find Grandpa Gu.
She wanted Grandpa Gu to speak to General Peng and ask him to send someone to deliver a message, as the person sent by the Peng family could support Madam Xie.
Madam Xie's father and General Peng were cousins. The Peng family was quite large, and General Peng should be willing to support his cousin.
...
In the afternoon, Gu Xin took a stroll around the trading area, intending to go to the restaurant to find her grandfather and go home together, but instead saw a fast horse galloping towards the Peng family's house.
She recognized the person on horseback as the one who had gone to Izumo with her brother Yuanyuan before.
She ran over and overheard the man reporting to General Peng that, for some reason, the Kingdom of Chuyun had suddenly launched an attack, and Generals Zhou and Chi were resisting and requesting reinforcements.
"Uncle Peng, Uncle Peng, what happened to Brother Yuanyuan and the others?" Gu Xin asked, pulling General Peng San.
"Xin'er, your third uncle is busy, go play by yourself!" General Peng San turned around and led the messenger into the mansion.
Gu Xin tried to follow, but was stopped by General Peng San's attendant.
Gu Xin begged the uncle to let her in, but he just kept a cold face and wouldn't let her in.
When Grandpa Gu came out of the restaurant, he saw Gu Xin lingering at the Peng family's door, seemingly refusing to let them in. He walked over.
"Grandpa, the Kingdom of Chuyun has sent troops, and Brother Yuanyuan and Brother Peng San have requested reinforcements. Oh no, Grandpa, Brother Yuanyuan and his men don't have many soldiers." Gu Xin grabbed her grandfather's arm, almost crying.
She guessed that Izumo Kingdom must know that Peng Family Army is currently in Goddess Kingdom and wants to take advantage of the situation. What should she do?
