Chapter 792: My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (1)
"Miss, there is a person who has fainted ahead, blocking the way for the carriage to pass..." A clear female voice sounded near Gu Shichu. Gu Shichu immediately opened her eyes and was about to ask a question when suddenly a tender and somewhat anxious voice came from the other side: "Someone has fainted? Could something have happened? Third sister, you wait in the carriage first, I'll go down and take a look..."
In ancient times, when one first looked at the woman who was speaking, one saw a pretty girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, who was anxious and slightly excited to jump off the carriage.
Gu Shichu realized that what she had just said was directed at him, so he obediently did not get off the car, but closed his eyes again and began to receive the original owner's memory.
The original owner was the third daughter of the Anguo Mansion in Gu Shichu, but her father was the half-brother of the current Anguo Mansion and General Zhenxi, Gu Taoxing. He died when the original owner was only seven years old after falling ill while taking the imperial examination. The original owner's mother also remarried to another place early, so she was like an invisible person in the Anguo Mansion and had no sense of existence.
Duke Anguo Gu Taoxing had three brothers. He was the eldest. His second brother was his biological younger brother Gu Taozhen, the second uncle of the original owner; and his third brother was the biological father of the original owner, Gu Taobo.
Gu Taoxing had two sons and three daughters: the eldest son Gu Ying, the second son Gu Jun, the eldest daughter Gu Shiyao, the second daughter Gu Shiyun and the third daughter Gu Shixuan; the second wife Gu Taozhen had two sons and one daughter: Gu Yong, Gu Lan and the only daughter Gu Shilian; the third wife Gu Taobo had only one daughter, because Gu Taobo was too young when he died and did not have time to give birth to more children.
The person who just spoke to the original owner was the eldest daughter of Duke Anguo, Gu Shiyao.
Gu Shiyao was reborn. In her previous life, she married Mingxun, the son of Marquis Qiyang. However, Mingxun was a playboy who only liked to eat, drink and have fun. He did not like official career and economics, and made no progress. He had a family background but no ability. After Marquis Qiyang died and Mingxun inherited the title, the marquisate gradually declined. Gu Shiyao also went from being the highly sought-after daughter of Duke Anguo and the Marquis Qiyang's son's consort to a marginal figure in the capital's powerful circle.
However, the original owner, who married the poor scholar Tang Buqing, became famous because of Tang Buqing's promotion. Not only did her husband have a bright future, but she also had a happy marriage and two children. Everyone said that she was lucky to marry a good man, and even those noble ladies in the capital had to be polite and flattering to her.
Gu Shiyao could not bear the gap in status between them and began to resent the heavens and the earth. She blamed Mingxun for his incompetence, which prevented her from enjoying glory and honor along with her husband; she resented her children for being useless, which prevented her from reviving the Qiyang Marquis Mansion and allowing her to gain status through her sons... She resented this for her entire life, while her unmarried cousin, whom she had always looked down upon, became the prime minister's wife when she was less than fifty years old and lived a glorious life.
Therefore, before she died, she had been imagining that if she had married Tang Buqing instead of Mingxun, then she would have been the envied wife of the Prime Minister, right? If there was a next life, she would definitely not marry Mingxun, but Tang Buqing!
Unexpectedly, after her death, she was reborn at the age of sixteen before she got married, and Gu Shichu had not yet met the future Prime Minister Tang Buqing...
Gu Shichu was extremely excited, and immediately decided to snatch away Gu Shichu's good marriage from his previous life and become the future prime minister's wife!
In his previous life, after Tang Buqing became the prime minister, his romantic love story with his wife Gu Shichu, who were in love with each other for a lifetime, had already spread throughout the world. Therefore, Gu Shiyao also knew that Gu Shichu and Tang Buqing met on the road in the suburbs. Tang Buqing had run out of money to go to Beijing for the imperial examination and fainted on the road due to hunger. Gu Shichu, who was going to the temple to burn incense, happened to pass by and met him. She saved him and also donated money to him so that he could continue to study for the imperial examination without distraction. The two became acquainted because of this, and later met and fell in love.
Gu Shiyao, who knew about their past and wanted to snatch away this good marriage, naturally kept a close eye on the original owner. She was determined to snatch away the favor of saving Tang Buqing's life and become Tang Buqing's benefactor.
At this moment, Tang Buqing fainted from hunger on the road. Gu Shiyao had just snatched the original owner's role and couldn't wait to jump out of the car to save Tang Buqing.
After Gu Shichu accepted the original owner's memory and knew what was going on, he had no intention of competing with Gu Shiyao for the role. Because in her previous life, the original owner looked like a rich and powerful wife, becoming the prime minister's wife, and had unlimited glory, but in fact, she had a hard time inside - Tang Buqing had a mother who had been widowed since she was young, and she raised Tang Buqing as a woman, and sent him to study for the imperial examination. It can be imagined that she must be a woman with a strong personality who regarded her son as the pillar of her life.
If a woman like this becomes a mother-in-law, it will be a nightmare for the daughter-in-law.
Tang Buqing and the original owner were very affectionate, especially when they were newly married. They wished they could stick together all the time and become conjoined twins. However, this was very annoying to Tang's mother. Before her son got married, he was very caring and filial to his mother. But after he got married, he only cared about his wife. How could Tang's mother, who regarded her son as the pillar of her life, bear this? In her eyes, wasn't the original owner a bad woman who stole her precious son?
Therefore, Tang's mother, who regarded her daughter-in-law as a thorn in her side, began to torture the original owner for decades. The original owner had a weak personality, her family would not support her, and she could not let her husband be embarrassed, so she had to grit her teeth and endure Tang's mother's daily torture. When Tang Buqing was at home, her life was better, but once he went out, she would be miserable.
Especially after Tang Buqing was promoted and was unwilling to take a concubine, Tang's mother hated the original owner even more and tortured her even harder, even causing her to have miscarriages one after another. She was pregnant five times but only gave birth to a son and a daughter, and then she had no more children.
Although Tang Buqing felt sorry for the original owner, he was a filial person and could not blame his mother, so he had to let the original owner be patient. This patience lasted for a lifetime. After Tang Buqing became the prime minister, his mother finally died of joy. But at that time, the original owner's body was also very weak due to the torture of his mother, so she did not enjoy the glory of being the prime minister's wife for long and died of depression.
Knowing this from the original owner's memory, Gu Shichu would not seek hardship again by marrying Tang Buqing and being tortured by an old hag. Since Gu Shiyao was so keen on this marriage, let her grab it.
Gu Shichu leisurely lifted the curtain of the carriage and watched Gu Shiyao, who was not far ahead, bringing her maids and guards to kindly "rescue" Tang Buqing.
"Young Master? Young Master? Wake up..." Gu Shiyao shook Tang Buqing's shoulder, but Tang Buqing was still unconscious.
The maidservant at the side tried to persuade Gu Shiyao anxiously: "Miss, we don't know the identity of this man yet. What if he is a bad guy? You should go back to the carriage and let the guards rescue him. It's not good for you to do this..."
