"How... should I start?" Gu Qingli broke free from Liu's hand that was pulling his sleeve, his face gloomy. How could he not know what this woman was planning?
Liu snorted, "It's useless."
She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xiang, her eyes reddened and tears came, she cried and said, "Second Uncle, I..."
Before she could finish her prepared words, she was interrupted by Gu Yunyi, "Since you have made up your mind, we in the Gu Mansion cannot force you to stay. Please leave."
Gu Yunyi glanced at the letter of severance held in Gu Qingli's hand, bent down and snatched it from him, and ordered someone to fetch red clay. He quickly pressed his handprint on it and looked at Gu Xiang again, "Father."
Gu Xiang looked at Gu Qingli with a serious look in his eyes, "Qingli, do you really want to do this?"
Gu Qingli pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Father," Gu Yunyi said impatiently, "Since he has made the decision, he must have thought it through carefully. Why are you trying to persuade him?"
Gu Xiang was still looking at Gu Qingli, wanting to hear him change his mind, but for a long while, he didn't say anything. Gu Xiang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay."
He pressed his fingerprints and handed one of the severance letters to Gu Qingli, "Take it. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
Gu Qingli pursed his lips and kowtowed three more times: "Nephew thanks second uncle for raising me."
Gu Xiang took a deep breath, raised his eyes to the sky, and held back the tears in his eyes. He said: "This kneeling really cuts off all the kindness."
He waved his hand: "Let's go."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and went to the study.
Gu Yunyi glanced at Gu Qingli and said, "Take care of yourself!"
Then he instructed Butler Gu: "Go pack up their things and find a carriage to send them to their residence."
"yes."
Liu got up from the ground, groaning, and looked at Gu Qingli, "You are so stupid. You're leaving now, so why don't you ask your uncle for more money as a thank you?"
"Look at how many good things Gu Yunran brought back. Just a few boxes would be enough for the children to get married."
Gu Qingli frowned and glared at Liu with a bad look, "Stop embarrassing yourself!"
"Second Uncle has treated me well. It's unmanly to break off all ties with him at this moment. Are you still thinking about his money?"
"Besides, what Sister Yunran brought back were all betrothal gifts from the Mu family. How can you have the nerve to ask for it?"
Liu was unwilling to give in: "You are a member of the Gu family, and you should have a share of the Gu family's wealth. We are leaving, but you should take what belongs to you. Don't let the Gu family get away with it."
"You!" Gu Qingli felt really ashamed. "My second uncle raised me and arranged my marriage. All our food, clothing, and expenses have been paid for by him over the years. Now that we've severed ties with him, you still want me to share the money?"
"Liu, you have no shame, but I still have it."
Gu Qingli left in a huff. He really felt that he was out of his mind to fall in love with Liu. What Liu said was really embarrassing for him.
"Pack up quickly and take some common clothes and daily necessities." Gu Qingli ordered.
Liu stood aside, groaning angrily. After a long while, she finally spoke, "If you don't want it, I'll ask my second uncle for it. You already have a share in the Gu Mansion."
Liu really felt that it was a big loss to leave like this. She turned around and walked out. Gu Qingli shouted anxiously, "Stop!"
He rushed forward and grabbed Liu's arm, "If you dare to go, I will divorce you!"
This family was built bit by bit by his second uncle. He has no credit at all, and his second uncle has been supporting him for so many years. How can he be qualified to share his second uncle's property?
"you!"
Usually, Liu was arrogant, and Gu Qingli was a soft persimmon, and he never yelled at her. But when he really got serious, Liu was still afraid.
She stood there holding the handkerchief. Although she was unwilling, she did not dare to move at all.
There weren't many common items, so the servants packed them up quickly.
"Master, everything is packed."
"Then move the car up there."
"Okay."
After everything was loaded onto the carriage, Butler Gu came out holding a box.
"Mr. Qingli."
"Butler Gu." Gu Qingli called politely.
Butler Gu handed the box to Gu Qingli, "This is for you from the master."
Gu Qingli took it and opened it. Inside were thousands of taels of silver notes and a shop. His eyes reddened slightly and he looked into the yard, but he did not see the familiar figure.
Second uncle was worried that he would have no means of making a living after leaving the Gu Mansion. Although his sister was in the palace, the salary in the harem was limited, and he needed a lot of money on a daily basis, so he couldn't support him every day.
Gu Qingli's voice was choked with sobs as he returned the box to Butler Gu: "Butler Gu, I can't take these."
"I've relied on my second uncle to take care of me all these years, and I haven't fulfilled my filial duty yet."
"Take it." Butler Gu sighed, "Master said that when your father was gone, he...he was like half a father to you in the past. This is what you deserve."
Gu Qingli repeatedly refused. Liu's eyes warmed as she snatched the box from Butler Gu's hands and said with a smile, "Butler Gu is right, my husband, this is what you deserve."
She reached into the box with a smile and rummaged through it. Soon her face darkened. "It's just this little. Gu Yunran's dowry is much more than this. Second Uncle is really biased."
Butler Gu shook his head, sighed, turned into the yard, and asked someone to close the gate.
Gu Qingli glared at Liu fiercely, then turned around and got on the carriage.
Liu, groaning, got on the carriage while holding the box. She reached out and pulled Gu Qingli, "Husband, don't be angry with me. You will know tomorrow that I was right to ask you to do this."
