Chapter 237 You Are Not as Good as Su Jin's Mother
Chapter 237 You Are Not as Good as Su Jin's Mother
Even if the divorce letter has been written and even if Su Jin has left the mansion, it has been twenty years. Can twenty years of habits be changed?
He was used to having a wife named Su Jin in the backyard. Although he neglected her, whenever he recalled the past, Su Jin still had a place in his memory.
"Su Jin, I don't allow you to like anyone else, and I don't allow you to get married, no, no!"
Gu Changqing finally broke down, causing the onlookers outside to curse in anger.
"Is there something wrong with this person?"
"There's something wrong with your brain!"
"Why don't you cherish it if you like it?"
"Why are you pretending to be affectionate now?"
Belated affection is cheaper than grass!
Su Jin now completely understood what this sentence meant. This was what Gu Changqing was doing now.
She couldn't help but said coldly: "Belated affection is cheaper than grass!"
Coming late?!
Gu Changqing finally froze in place.
He stared at Su Jin in disbelief. "You, you were not like this before. When you first entered the Marquis' Mansion, you clearly only liked me. You said that for me, you could endure the food you were not used to, the Beijing accent you did not understand, and everything else. Why now, now you can actually say such things?"
Su Jin just felt like he was going to collapse.
She really wanted to tell Gu Changqing, wake up, the woman who liked you is long gone and no longer in this world. If you still have a conscience, please stay away from her, that is the only way to let your original body rest in peace!
Unfortunately, I can’t say it. If I tell it all, I don’t know if I will be tied up and burned to death.
The ancients were so ignorant, so ignorant to the point of being terrifying.
Su Jin said coldly: "You also said it was in the past."
"When I loved you before, you treated other people's feelings as worthless. You squandered and trampled on them without knowing how to cherish them. Now, the so-called feelings have long been worn out by you, and the divorce papers have been signed. What are you talking about in the past with me? If you like the past so much, what were you doing before? I haven't stepped into Liuting Pavilion for three years, and I haven't said a word. How dare you talk to me about the past here?"
Su Jin was also angry and said in a cold voice: "Gu Changqing, wake up, the woman you love most is Lin Wanhui. You are willing to divorce me for Lin Wanhui. There is no place for me in your heart. Stop dreaming every day!"
After saying this, Su Jin said calmly: "Master Cao, I have finished my testimony. Can I leave now?"
She didn't want to stay in this shabby place for even a moment longer. She didn't even want to see Gu Changqing again in this life. So, she wanted to leave. She just had to wait a little longer. Gu Changqing was going to die soon anyway!
Su Jin felt a little better when she thought that this disgusting man would eventually disappear completely.
Cao Wei nodded to indicate that Su Jin could leave. She then stood up coldly and let Yuchuan help her leave the hall.
"Jin'er!"
Gu Changqing wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Xie Huaiguang. Gu Zilu and Gu Suiyu also stood in front of him, and the meaning of protection was very obvious.
Gu Changqing collapsed and said: "Even you support Jin'er, don't you want your mother to come back?"
The two children said in unison: "No!"
"It's better to have no husband than to have one like you. I support my mother."
Even after the divorce, she still spreads rumors. She must be seriously ill. How can such a person want to live with her for the rest of her life? You must be kidding. Just get a divorce. Also, Gu Changqing, please don't get close to my mother for the rest of your life!
The two children were determined and Gu Changqing almost collapsed.
“You, you guys!”
His fingers were trembling, and behind him, Cao Wei had already spoken: "The matter is clear, but this matter has alarmed the emperor, and it is not easy for me to convict him directly. I will write a memorial to the emperor and ask him to make a decision."
Cao Wei was also very good at dealing with people, and he directly passed the issue to Zhao Jingcheng.
Anyway, Prince Rui has spoken, so it seems reasonable to report to the Emperor.
As for Gu Changqing, he certainly couldn't leave. He was directly imprisoned in Shunjing Prefecture Prison to await his fate.
Soon, the imperial edict came down, demoting Gu Changqing from the fifth rank to the seventh rank. However, considering Gu Zhao's advanced age, the emperor still allowed Gu Zhao to stay in the capital and did not send him out.
But the most ironic thing is that the imperial edict that demoted Gu Changqing was accompanied by an imperial edict that promoted Su Jin.
Although Zhao Jingcheng had appointed Su Jin as the sixth-rank Siyuan at the temple fair, it was only a verbal appointment without any formal document. Now, the document was directly added, right at the same time as the document of Gu Changqing's demotion.
As a result, Gu Changqing collapsed even more.
His ex-wife actually holds a higher official position than him!
Although Si Yuan was only an official serving the royal estate, he was at least a sixth-rank official, much more important than his seventh-rank sinecure. Most importantly, Su Jin could see the emperor often! !
If you meet the emperor frequently, you will get promoted, but what about him?
Not to mention attending court, one can only catch a glimpse of the emperor's face on the first day of the new year. This is extremely marginalized!
Gu Changqing completely collapsed.
However, the one who was even more devastated was Gu Zhao.
Although his son did not expect to have a successful future and just wanted to live in peace and security, now things have turned out to be different. He has been demoted directly from the fifth rank to the seventh rank, but he still cannot blame Su Jin, because this is all Gu Changqing's own fault.
You said you were doing your best, so why did you go and spread rumors about Su Jin?
The divorce papers have been signed, and since we are strangers now, there is no need to see each other again. Wouldn't it be better for you to just close the door and live your own life?
Why on earth do you want to spread rumors?
Moreover, the emperor knew about this matter. God knows how the emperor knew about it!!
Now, just because of a rumor, he was demoted two levels. It’s almost fatal!
After learning about this, Gu Zhao fell ill and never went to court again.
However, it doesn’t matter whether Marquis Yong’an attends court or not, because Marquis Yong’an has long been marginalized by the emperor.
Now, the only people in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion that the emperor cares about are Su Jin, Gu Zixuan, and Gu Zilu. There is really no place for these older people anymore.
However, in the end, the person who was most affected was not Su Jin, but Gu Ruyu.
Gu Ruyu's reputation was completely ruined.
Liu spread rumors in the circle of noble ladies, saying that Gu Ruyu was shameless and just like her lowly mother. Her mother had an affair without a matchmaker, but her daughter came to seduce her own son, seducing a young man who was already engaged. How shameless!
Gu Ruyu completely collapsed after hearing all this.
She had been having a good relationship with Xu Shaozhen and they exchanged letters frequently, but now, everything is gone!
Gu Ruyu was so angry that she finally had a big quarrel with Lin Wanhui.
"Mother, are you sick? Su Jin even knew to date the Grand Princess for Gu Suiyu. The Grand Princess is a guest of honor at her silk shop. But what did you do? You ruined your daughter's marriage. You are not as good as Su Jin's mother. You are not comparable at all!"
