Chapter 340 Closing the Door to Fight the Ghost
Su Jingshu was also very worried when she heard that Ning Bao was going to sea. She wanted to stop her, but after hearing Shen Yuzhen talk about the foreigners, she could no longer stop her.
Besides, with Prefect Gu Zheyuan personally leading the team, it wouldn't be appropriate for Ning Bao not to go. After all, Ning Bao is very capable, and she understands the principle of "the capable should do more"...
We're setting sail tomorrow, and Gu Zheyuan rushed over from Yunlu City in the evening.
Gu Zheyuan was a decent swimmer, so while the others were learning to float, he went back to Yunlu City to handle official business.
He is, after all, the governor of a city. Once he leaves, he won't be able to return for at least a month or two, so arrangements should be made accordingly.
When he arrived at the manor, he was shocked to hear Gu Yunrou say that Ning Bao was a child of the Zhou family.
"What a coincidence?"
I always thought Ningbao was an extraordinary little girl, but I never imagined she was actually a child of the Zhou family.
"Now the Prince of Zhenbei has gained a well-behaved and adorable little daughter. He'll definitely come to me and brag about it when he finds out."
Su Yunrou sighed softly.
"The Prince and Jing Shu have had a tough time these past few years, but thankfully the child has been found."
Jing Shu said she wanted to build a house in Chuyun Village to accompany Ning Bao as she grew up, so I gave her the five mu of land outside the village.
Shen Junshan looked at his younger sister with doting eyes.
"This estate and land are your dowry; you can do with them however you like."
Rou'er, what are your plans for things in the capital?
Gu Yunrou waved her hand helplessly.
"I don't know what to do either, so I'll just wait it out for now. Anyway, he can't do anything to me."
Gu Zheyuan looked at his younger sister with heartache.
"Rou'er, I don't want you to live such a hard life. If it really doesn't work out, let's get a divorce."
Gu Yunrou was stunned for a moment.
"Divorce? He won't agree."
Gu Zheyuan's eyes turned cold.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just agree to leave everything else to me."
I'd like to see just how powerful Shen Tingshan really is.
Gu Yunrou shook her head.
"Brother, you don't need to, really."
I think this is fine. Even if we get divorced, I don't plan to remarry in this lifetime.
What does it matter whether I'm not planning to remarry or not?
Anyway, I am the legal wife of the Marquis of Yongyi. As long as I don't step down, no matter how much those people jump around, she is just a concubine.
My Yang'er is the heir of the Marquis's mansion; none of them can touch his position.
Gu Zheyuan looked at his younger sister with heartache.
"Rou'er, your elder brother doesn't care about any of this."
"I just want you to live a more comfortable life. Even if you and Yang'er leave the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion, I can still support you."
Gu Yunrou shook her head again.
"Brother, don't worry, if I ever want to leave, I will definitely let you know."
As Gu Zheyuan walked out of Gu Yunrou's courtyard, he sighed softly. His sister seemed weak, but she was actually very strong.
…………
As Gu Yunrou watched her older brother's departing figure, her previously firm back softened.
Granny Gu looked at her mistress and couldn't help but say,
"My lord, you clearly want a divorce, so why don't you ask the prefect for help?"
Gu Yunrou forced a smile.
"My older brother has it tough too; he has more important things to do."
I can't share the burden on his shoulders, and I can't add to his troubles.
The eldest brother has been patient for so many years, just to help the second prince when the time is right.
It would be a loss if I exposed my hidden power.
And I really don't want a divorce now.
"Why?" Granny Gu was a little confused about her mistress's decision. She knew better than anyone how stifled her mistress had been in the mansion before.
Gu Yunrou smiled mysteriously.
"Although I don't care about the identity of the Marquis's wife, as long as I don't give up this identity, no other woman in the Marquis's mansion can surpass me."
And the children of the Marquis's mansion will always be illegitimate sons. No matter how hard they try, an illegitimate son can never compete with Yang'er for the position of heir.
Although Yang'er and I don't care much about the position of heir apparent, it is still somewhat useful, after all, Ningbao is the little princess of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
I don't want Yang'er and Ningbao to have such a big difference in status..."
After finishing her training and having dinner, Ningbao returned to her room and released the alien ghost to conduct a thorough interrogation.
