Gu Jingchun silently loaded the other large boxes onto the carriage.
If Chu Qianlan were to see these things, she would probably be green with envy.
It's best not to provoke a fool like Chu Qianlan too much, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
After seeing Gu Jingchun's valuable possessions, Chu Qianlan's originally firm resolve began to waver.
Over the years, the Marquis's family has lived a life of extravagance, with daily expenses flowing out like water, which would be difficult for an ordinary family to sustain.
The Yong'an Marquis's mansion has been able to maintain its extravagant lifestyle entirely thanks to the gold and silver treasures that Gu Wei'ang brought back from the war a few years ago.
However, as these things became increasingly scarce, the household began to struggle financially.
These things of Gu Jingchun held a great attraction for Chu Qianlan.
So, when Gu Jingchun was about to leave, she stepped forward, smiled, took his arm, and said:
"Jingchun, your mother was just joking with you."
"Mother has no intention of kicking you out of the manor. It's all a misunderstanding. Why don't you come back first and not let outsiders laugh at you?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"Madam Gu's words are quite strange. I have no connection with your Marquis of Yong'an anymore, so why would I go back?"
Her tone turned colder as she looked at Chu Qianlan and Gu Wei'ang, raising her voice as she spoke:
"Neighbors and fellow villagers present today, why don't you stand here and bear witness for me, Gu Jingchun?"
“Gu Wei'ang and Chu Qianlan of the Yong'an Marquis’s Mansion gave birth to me but did not raise me. Even if they brought me back, it was only to make me a substitute in marriage.”
For this reason, they plotted against me and even went so far as to try to kill my child.
After their plan failed, and seeing that I was no longer of any help to the Marquis's mansion, they wanted to drive my son and me out of the mansion.
After he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked and began to criticize Gu Wei'ang and Chu Qianlan.
Some even began to feel indignant on behalf of Gu Jingchun.
Amidst a chorus of accusations from those around him, Gu Jingchun suddenly drew his longsword from the guard's hand.
Her long hair billowed up, and her long sword fell.
A strand of long hair fell like the wind.
"Gu Wei'ang! Chu Qianlan!"
Today, I, Gu Jingchun, hereby swear—from this day forward, I sever all ties with you, completely cutting off all relations. From this day forward, we go our separate ways; I will never be a daughter of the Shen family again, nor will I be buried in the Shen family graveyard in death!
As the sound subsided, a thunderclap boomed, illuminating Gu Jingchun's resolute face and Gu Wei'ang's panicked expression, as if it were daytime.
After daylight, there was a moment of darkness.
Silence.
When things returned to normal, Lanxin was afraid that some people didn't know what had happened, so she told them all again what Chu Qianlan had done to her son and to her that day.
After saying that, he gave everyone present a string of cash and told them not to forget to spread the word about it.
After doing all this, they loaded several carts full of goods and left under the cover of night.
Chu Qianlan was extremely anxious and kept pulling Gu Wei'ang, trying to stop Gu Jingchun.
But Gu Wei'ang keenly noticed that an arrow was aimed at him from a distance.
Because he had just seen the arc of light reflected from the archer during the thunder.
Therefore, he dared not move an inch at this moment.
Inside the carriage.
Lan Xin remained indignant.
Gu Jingchun remained silent for a moment, waiting until Lan Xin was tired of talking before he finally spoke.
"Release all the evidence we found regarding the Yong'an Marquis's residence."
Chu Qianlan and Gu Wei'ang were vomiting terribly.
Gu Wei'ang blamed all the problems on Chu Qianlan, and thus had a fierce argument with her.
Chu Qianlan was both angry and resentful, and ran straight to Gu Jingchun's original courtyard.
She originally wanted to see exactly how much of the mansion Gu Jingchun had moved away.
Upon arrival, they discovered that everything in the courtyard related to Gu Jingchun had been moved away, even the plants in the courtyard had been uprooted.
Even the wall she built later was demolished.
The entire courtyard exuded decay, just as it had before Gu Jingchun arrived.
The news that Gu Jingchun had severed ties with the Marquis of Yong'an and moved out spread throughout the entire capital within a day.
Upon learning the news, Luo Kejin and Liu Sihua immediately took their belongings to Gu Jingchun's residence at daybreak.
Liu Sihua first gave Gu Jingchun a big hug, then began to comfort him, and finally directly asked him to move to the Luo residence.
Gu Jingchun, of course, would not go, and quickly declined.
It took a lot of persuasion before Liu Sihua finally gave up the idea.
However, before she left, she repeatedly told Gu Jingchun that the Luo family only recognized her as their daughter-in-law.
She made her stance clear, fearing that Gu Jingchun would "abandon" Luo Ziqian because of this.
Gu Jingchun was deeply moved by this, and he experienced a kind of kinship that he rarely felt from Liu Sihua.
This prevented her from ever telling Liu Sihua the truth about her initial marriage to Luo Ziqian.
Because she really didn't want to see Liu Sihua's disappointed look.
So, the matter was left unresolved.
The Yong'an Marquis's mansion thus became a joke.
After all, throughout history, no noble family's mansion gate has ever been directly pushed down.
Those aristocratic families were even saying behind the scenes that the Yong'an Marquis's fate was sealed.
A noble family that cannot even tolerate its own daughter is destined to go nowhere.
She was simply kidnapped.
The people of this dynasty are open-minded, and the Luo family didn't mind at all. They even went to Gu Jingchun's house immediately.
It's ridiculous that Gu Jingchun's own father and mother actually kicked him out.
However, besides Liu Sihua, there was another person who rushed to Gu Jingchun's residence after hearing the news.
Shen Hechuan.
Because Gu Jingchun moved into the house temporarily, he didn't have time to set up any traps, which unexpectedly made things easier for Shen Hechuan.
He moved about as if he were in a fairyland, so freely that Gu Jingchun was startled and took a step back, almost falling. It was only thanks to Shen Hechuan's help that she didn't fall.
What are you doing here?
Shen Hechuan went to great lengths to find Gu Jingchun.
Initially, he intended to catch up with Gu Jingchun directly in the palace.
But just as he finished speaking with Luo Ziqian, someone blocked his way.
After that, he was taken to Jingyu Palace.
He sat there for a long time.
It had been so long that he had looked at the furnishings in Jiang Xianhao's room three times and had memorized the placement of all the items.
Jiang Xianhao has not returned yet.
But Shen Hechuan couldn't sit still any longer.
Just then, Jiang Xianhao pushed open the door and walked in.
She returned in the sedan chair used by Emperor Rongcheng, personally escorted by Dexi.
Behind him followed a long line of palace maids.
The palace maids were carrying various rewards from Emperor Rongcheng.
Silks and satins, jewelry and ornaments—it has everything.
