Chapter 168 Good Reputation
Chapter 168 Good Reputation
Su Jin smiled, walked over and teased the doll in the quilt.
Mu Ge'er can already crawl. The fat boy smiles when he sees Su Jin, revealing his two little milk teeth.
"Sixth Miss, have a safe journey. After this departure, I don't know when we will meet again."
An Xiaoniang's eyes turned red as she spoke, and Su Jin smiled and comforted her: "Why can't we meet? My house is in the capital, you can come visit me often, and remember to bring Mu Ge'er with you."
As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and stuffed it into Mu Ge'er's pocket: "This is something Xuan Ge'er wore as a toy when he was a child. It's not worth much, so give it to Mu Ge to play with."
As she said that, she walked out, and there were a few more people in front of her.
Except for Lin Wanhui, all of Gu Changqing's concubines were present. There were three women with different styles. One of them was wearing a nun's robe. She was the concubine Song Xiaoniang who worshipped Buddha in the temple all year round.
The remaining children also came. Mei Qingqing held one child in each hand, and Du Xiaoniang led her daughter. The group stood in the autumn wind. The scene was bleak, with withered and yellow leaves. When the breeze blew, the sky was filled with red and yellow.
"Miss Su Liu, have a safe journey."
Everyone saluted her.
In fact, everyone has their own benchmark in their hearts for Su Jin, but at least compared to Lin Wanhui, Su Jin is still good.
Lin Wanhui deceived her superiors and lied to her subordinates, and took advantage of her favor to bully them. Although Su Jin didn't like them, he never treated them harshly. Now that Su Jin is leaving, these concubines are envious and yearning for him.
They will never be able to leave the Marquis' Mansion in this life.
Mei Qingqing smiled and said, "Miss Su Liu is leaving today. We are all happy for you, so we are all here to see you off."
The remaining two concubines nodded, and Su Jin also nodded and walked out slowly.
A group of people say goodbye, a group of people leave. The people who leave are full of joy, but the people who say goodbye don’t know what they feel in their hearts.
Song Xiaoniang, who was dressed in a nun's robe, stared blankly at Su Jin's back. She subconsciously touched her flat belly, where there used to be a little life, but it died before it was born.
Her child has entered the cycle of reincarnation, and she spends her days in seclusion, praying that her child can live a good life in the next life and not suffer like she did.
"well."
I don't know who sighed, a mixture of various emotions in my heart, and finally this sigh dissipated in the wind.
Su Jin left, and the gate of Liuting Pavilion was locked. From then on, there was no Madam Su in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The concubines each took their children back to their own courtyards, and life had to go on, no matter how hard or dark it was.
When Su Jin walked out of the high gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Zou came out in person to see him off.
Gu Changqing also followed out when he heard the news. He wanted to see Su Jin alone and talk to her. He was really eager to do so.
"Jin'er!"
Gu Changqing ran out, stared at Su Jin and said, "You really don't want to say a word to me? A husband and wife for a day is a bond of love for a hundred days, we..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Jin lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, showing no mercy to Gu Changqing.
"You! You have such a cruel heart!"
Gu Changqing's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but break down and said, "We are a loving couple after all, and you don't even remember our old feelings. Su Jin, you have such a cruel heart!"
He collapsed and shouted, but Su Jin had already urged him to leave. The coachman whipped the horse, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard. The carriage slowly moved away, leaving with determination.
"Su Jin, Su Jin, wait for me!"
Gu Changqing chased out like mad, and seeing this, Zou quickly asked the servants to bring him back, but Gu Changqing got angry and shook off several servants. Zou had no choice but to call for more people. It took more than ten people to hold down Gu Changqing and drag him back.
"Mother, why are you helping outsiders? Why don't you help your son? Are you happy to see my wife and children separated?"
Gu Changqing broke down and cried, but Zou was almost going crazy.
Without caring about still standing at the door, he started to curse: "You bastard, isn't it all your fault that things are like this now? The emperor asked you to stay home to rest so that you can get rid of Lin Wanhui and repair the relationship between husband and wife. What did you do? Now, Su Jin is gone, and Lin Wanhui is still in the Marquis' Mansion. Gu Changqing, is your heart made of stone?"
Zou felt that her son was unreasonable and simply sick. If Lin Wanhui had been taken away early, would Su Jin have refused to see you?
Even if Su Jin didn't want to see her, the clan elder Su Bingzhi was here. When old Su walked in, the first thing he asked was whether Lin Wanhui was still in the mansion. Wasn't this question straightforward enough?
I can only say that my son is stupid. He doesn't want such a good wife and has to cling to a lowly concubine. Then, his good life has become a mess like it is now!
Zou was so angry that she was shaking all over. She didn't want to see her bastard son again, so she asked Mother Wen to help her leave.
After Gu Zhao came back from court, the old lady closed the door again and whispered to Gu Zhao for a long time. When the door was opened again, the old marquis announced that even if they were divorced, he would still recognize Su Jin as his daughter and that Yong'an Marquis' Mansion would always be Su Jin's home.
As soon as these words were made known, they immediately caused a sensation in the capital.
Since ancient times, divorces have always ended in unpleasantness. It is very rare for a couple to break up peacefully and even adopt a goddaughter, as happened in the Marquis' Mansion.
What happened at the Enrong Banquet had long been a hot topic in the capital, and the name of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was a familiar one to everyone. How many incidents had happened at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in the past year?
What is even more shocking now is that the son and daughter-in-law of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion have finally reached a divorce. Divorce would have been fine, but they have turned the former daughter-in-law into the current daughter?
"It seems that the old marquis and the old lady really like this lady!"
"Oh, what madam? You should call her Su now."
When they were together, she was the eldest lady, named Gu Su. Now that they are divorced, doesn't she become Su?
"This Su must be a very good girl. Look, the old marquis and the old lady are reluctant to let her go and insist on adopting her as their goddaughter!"
The public's reputation for Su Jin has always reached its peak. After all, in this whole thing, Su Jin always played the role of the weaker party.
From being bullied by Lin Wanhui in the beginning, to her husband being inactive and favoring the concubine over his wife, to even the illegitimate offspring being able to show off their power over the legitimate children, Su Jinniang and the others are really miserable no matter how you look at them. Such a miserable person, yet still so kind, there is nothing wrong with the Marquis of Yong'an adopting her as his daughter!
Therefore, everyone who had heard about the bad things happening in the Marquis' Mansion would give Su Jin a thumbs up.
I thought Su Jin's reputation would plummet after the divorce, but who would have thought that not only did her reputation not drop, but it actually increased. Su Jin's reputation reached an unprecedented high.
