Not long after Liu left, the door was knocked again.
"Miss, I will go open the door."
Zhuye walked over, opened the door, and saw the eldest young master. Her face flushed slightly, and she bowed to Gu Yunyi: "Eldest young master."
"Where's Yunran?"
"In the yard."
Gu Yunyi walked into the yard, and Zhuye hurried to prepare tea.
Gu Yunran was cutting paper-cuts for windows. When she saw Gu Yunyi, she was slightly startled, then suddenly laughed out loud, "Brother, why are you here?"
Speaking of which, she and her brother haven't seen each other for some time. Gu Yunyi has been guarding the city during this period, and she doesn't know if anything important is going to happen.
"This is your yellow book." Gu Yunyi handed the yellow book to Gu Yunran, "Your household registration has been moved back to the mansion. I'm here to take you back home today."
After a pause, he said, "You are getting married tomorrow, so you can't marry on this farm."
After hearing this, Gu Yunran nodded lightly and asked Ruizhu Qianbi to pack her luggage. Nanny Wang was so happy that she started to help pack together.
Gu Yunyi looked at Gu Yunran with reluctance. His sister had just jumped out of the fire pit, and now she was going to get married again, and to a treacherous minister with great power in the court. He was really reluctant to let her go.
However, this was his sister's choice and he had no right to interfere.
With tears in his eyes, Gu Yunran reached out and patted Gu Yunran's shoulder, "Brother, I hope you can choose the right person this time."
Gu Yunran smiled and said, "Brother, you worry too much. Lord Mu treats me very well. He helped me a lot in getting a divorce from Lu Qingzhou."
"Miss, it's all packed."
The yard was small, and Gu Yunran didn't have much to pack, just some clothes and books, which filled up no more than a dozen boxes.
But... there are still hundreds of boxes of betrothal gifts in the warehouse.
Gu Mansion.
The place was decorated with lights and Mrs. Gu wore bright colors today. She stood at the second door, looking towards the door constantly, feeling indescribable joy in her heart.
Her Yun Ran was going home, but when she thought about getting married tomorrow, she felt a little sad.
Liu came out with her waist twisted and she snorted when she saw Madam Gu's happy expression, "She's just a divorced woman, yet you still have to make such a big fuss to welcome her? Aren't you ashamed?"
Madam Gu glared at her. "My daughter, how does my greeting affect you? Besides, is this the proper attitude you should have when speaking to your elders?"
Liu pursed her lips and was not afraid. Her husband and the current queen were siblings. Madam Gu, the prime minister's wife, was nothing to her. She didn't take her seriously.
She sneered, "Second Aunt, if it wasn't for your niece-in-law telling you to, you shouldn't have brought Yun Ran back. She's a divorced woman with a bad reputation. If she were to be brought back, the one who would be most affected would be my brother Yun Yi."
"I, your niece-in-law, can't interfere with your family's affairs, but we don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Don't let it affect my three children."
Madam Gu looked at Liu in surprise, "Liu, what do you mean?"
"The meaning is very clear. I want to sever ties with you. My husband and I will go out and start our own business."
"Second uncle couldn't even raise his own daughter well, and he took a divorced woman back home as a treasure. Wouldn't that make outsiders laugh at him? Gu Qing, Gu Xing, and Gu Hui are all unmarried. With such an aunt, who would dare to become our relative?"
Mrs. Gu, who was always good-tempered, was also furious when she heard what Liu said. "Liu, don't forget that Qingli grew up eating water and rice. Who arranged your marriage?"
"What's wrong with Yunran? What did she do wrong? What's wrong with getting a divorce when she can't make ends meet? Why can't she go back home now?"
"My daughter, my home, I want her back, so I let her come back."
"Yes, it's your home. We don't care who you want to let back in, but we can leave, right?" Liu snorted coldly and pushed Gu Qingli. "Husband, take out the letter of severance."
Madam Gu held her handkerchief and looked at Gu Qingli, "Are you really going to go out and start your own business?"
"I..." Gu Qingli lowered his head, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Gu Xiang heard the commotion and came over. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Before Madam Gu could speak, Liu pulled Gu Qingli down to his knees and kowtowed three times. Bewildered, Prime Minister Gu asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Gu Qingli lowered his head and remained silent. Liu then spoke: "My nephew and his wife thank you for your care over the years, uncle. Today we are leaving the house to start our own business."
After a pause, she continued, "Second Uncle Lian was able to take back someone as morally corrupt as a divorced woman. We really...don't dare to stay here any longer."
Gu Xiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Qingli, who had kept his head down and remained silent. "Qingli, do you mean the same thing?"
Gu Qingli kowtowed three more times, pursing his lips with a look of bitterness and helplessness: "Qingli thanks second uncle for raising me."
"You!" Gu Xiang took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He opened them again and was about to scold her when he heard someone come to the door and announce, "Master, Madam, the eldest son and the young lady are back."
As soon as Butler Gu finished speaking, Gu Yunyi and Gu Yunran walked in together. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Liu and Gu Qingli kneeling on the ground. The brother and sister frowned slightly.
Gu Yunyi asked: "What happened?"
"Father, mother, did my brother make a mistake? Today is the auspicious day when Yun Ran returns. It doesn't matter if he made a mistake. Father, please let them get up."
Mrs. Gu pinched her handkerchief, her eyes reddening, "They want to leave the Gu Mansion and start their own business."
Gu Xiang stood aside, his face sullen and silent. Gu Yunyi was surprised, and suddenly he understood, "Are my brother and sister-in-law going to force my father to make a choice?"
He snorted coldly: "Even if father agrees, I will not agree."
"Brother and sister-in-law want to sever ties with the Gu family, so be it. I am Gu Yunyi's sister, so you can take her back if you want."
Hearing Gu Yunyi's words, Gu Yunran stood aside, her eyes slightly hot. She pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty, "Brother..."
If she caused family discord, the outside world would not know how to frame my brother and father.
"Yunran, nothing's wrong." Gu Yunyi consoled him, "You're tired. Go back to your room and get some rest."
He then instructed Nanny Wang, "Nanny Wang, take the young lady back to the courtyard to rest."
Mrs. Gu came over and took her daughter's hand, her eyes full of joy. "Your yard is ready. Mother will take you there."
Gu Yunran smiled faintly: "Thank you, mother!"
"Silly girl," Madam Gu reached out and tucked the loose hair on Gu Yunran's forehead behind her ears, holding her hand and smiling happily, "We are mother and daughter, why should we thank you?"
Mrs. Gu took Gu Yunran to Lanyun Pavilion, while Granny Wang brought people to move boxes of gold, silver and jewelry into the yard.
Liu knelt on the ground and saw so many boxes of good things. Her eyes lit up and her hands in her sleeves itched. It seemed that she had picked it up too early and should have stayed for another night.
She tugged at Gu Qingli's sleeve and whispered, "Be submissive to your uncle, and we'll leave tomorrow."
