The beautiful woman in pink clothes burst into tears, "Did I serve the young master poorly? Well, why did the young master drive me away?"
The woman was Zhang Chengwang's ex-wife Gu Liniang. She was not with Xi Mubai at the beginning. The Gu family fell in love with a wealthy businessman who spent a lot of money. The wealthy businessman used sweet words to coax Gu Liniang, saying that he would make her an equal wife. Gu Liniang was in her mother's family.
With the persuasion of Zhang Chengwang, she gave in half. At that time, most of the Zhang family's money was used to support Zhang Chengwang's education. She really couldn't bear the poor life. But after joining the wealthy businessman, the wealthy businessman treated her well at first, but he agreed
The ordinary wife has nothing to say.
Gu Liniang had no way of looking back at that time, and the wealthy businessmen were usually generous to her, so she reluctantly became a concubine. A few years later, she met Xi Mubai, and she had a new goal. She worked hard to get along well with Xi Mubai.
After creating a chance encounter, playing hard to get, and seducing his heart, Xi Mubai took her back.
Although Xi Mubai is white, he is the young master of the Xi family and the biological brother of the princess. The wealthy businessman naturally does not dare to offend her. Although her identity can only be Xi Mubai's concubine, Gu Liniang is still very satisfied.
Mu Bai also promised her that as long as she gave birth to a child, he would carry her into the palace and give her a status.
I just didn't expect that Xi Mubai didn't want her even before she entered the house. It was clear that he had been very gentle to her some time ago and gave her a pearl hairpin.
Xi Mubai's servant said: "Young master has reached the age of getting married, so naturally I can't let you get in the way of the future mistress of the house."
The other two concubines were both girls from brothels, and the contract of sale was in the hands of Xi Mubai, so Xi Mubai gave them directly to his two dandy friends. But Gu Liniang was different. She belonged to a good family, and Xi Mubai
You really can't give her away casually, you can only send her away.
Gu Liniang was stunned. She also knew that Xi Mubai would get married sooner or later, but thinking about Xi Mubai's temperament, even if he got married, he would still have three wives and four concubines. She never thought that she would be sent away so soon.
Zhang Chengwang had long since reconciled with her, and even had a step-wife, so it was impossible for the wealthy businessman to come back and want her. If she was driven away, where else could she go?
Gu Liniang felt that the sky above her head was about to collapse, and her voice became even louder, "Can you really not keep me here?"
"Even if I am just a nameless and statusless maid next to the young master, I am willing to do so. When the future mistress comes in, I will serve the mistress just like I serve the young master, and I will be loyal to the master. I know my identity, and there will be no other
delusional."
The young man said impatiently: "This is not only the young master's wish, but also the old lady's wish. Do you still want to enter the house? Even the servants we serve in the Xi family must be innocent."
He saw Gu Liniang crying pitifully, and finally felt a little soft-hearted, and said: "The young master has been good to you in the past two years. You still have some money in your hands. After you leave here, it would be good to marry a small family and become the head wife."
If Gu Liniang was willing to marry into a small family, she would not have reconciled with Zhang Chengwang in the first place.
At this point, she also realized that Xi Mubai was now determined.
She had no choice but to pack her belongings while crying. Xi Mubai treated her with some sincerity and gave her a hundred taels of silver notes.
Gu Liniang thought of her parents... Most of the money she got when she worked as a wealthy businessman was taken away by her parents and used on her two younger brothers. Under such circumstances, she would naturally not be stupid enough to give away gold, silver and jewelry.
Leave it all to your parents.
Xi Mubai gave her three days. Gu Liniang gritted her teeth and took two-thirds of the jewelry and silk she had accumulated over the years to the pawn shop, and finally sold them for three hundred taels of silver. Although she lost a lot, she also
She couldn't care about this anymore. With this money and the silver accumulated in her hand, she took out five hundred taels and exchanged them for silver notes, and hid the five one hundred tael silver notes in the soles of her shoes.
After doing all this, she took the baggage and went home.
Because of Gu Liniang, the Gu family's life in the capital was not as good as that of ordinary people, but they still lived a pretty good life. They also bought a house in the capital and purchased some fields. The Gu family had high hopes for Gu Liniang and looked forward to it.
He wanted her to give birth to a boy as soon as possible so that she could become Xi Mubai's aunt, so that their Gu family could get more benefits.
However, they waited for the news that Gu Liniang had been abandoned.
Gu's mother hated the iron, "I told you a long time ago that you need to drink those talisman water and medicine every day, but you refused to listen, and your stomach has not moved until now. As long as you have a child, regardless of gender, Master Xi will not
Abandon you."
"You are young now, already twenty-two years old. Without Master Xi, who else can you follow?"
Gu Liniang felt aggrieved, "I also drank a lot of medicine..."
There was news not long after she and Zhang Chengwang got married, which shows that her health is fine.
Father Gu glanced at her and said, "You stay at home for now, and your parents will arrange a new marriage for you after the new year."
You can't let your daughter stay in her parents' house forever, it doesn't make sense.
Gu Liniang's two younger siblings have already begun to unpack her baggage. One said that she wanted to use the fine cotton cloth for her unborn child, and the other said that she wanted to use the silk and satin to make clothes for the New Year. The jewelry was not spared.
Most of the silk and satin jewelry that Gu Liniang brought back were snatched away by them. Gu's mother turned a blind eye and made Gu Liniang so angry that she burst into tears.
When she returned to her parents' home, her two younger siblings were flattering and respectful to her. How could they be so rude? Gu Liniang's younger brother still despised her for being useless. He had been serving Xi Mubai for so long and didn't even bring back more things. He still wanted to
Want Gu Liniang's money.
Gu Liniang was glad in her heart that she had hid the money before, otherwise she would have been robbed of all the money and then marry her off to a random family.
After Gu Liniang gave them ten taels of silver, they still felt that it was not enough. They felt that she was having an affair and that her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes. Gu's mother even ordered her to do housework unceremoniously.
Gu Liniang has basically stayed away from the world since she married the wealthy businessman and Xi Mubai. How could she bear such a life? When she married Zhang Chengwang, although the Zhang family couldn't let her have a lot of money, Zhang Chengwang didn't let her either.
Do some work.
I don’t know how Zhang Chengwang is doing now or whether he has passed the examination.
Gu Liniang thought of her ex-husband who was gentle and considerate to her, and her desire to go back to see him became stronger and stronger. Zhang Chengwang loved her so much that if she was willing to look back, for the sake of her children and past relationships, he would definitely accept her.
When she left, Zhang Chengwang was a child student, but now Bao Buqi is a scholar.
By the way, she can go to the Yuan family to inquire. The Yuan family and their family were neighbors at that time, but now Yuan Suijun is an official. For the sake of fellow villagers, maybe the Yuan family is willing to help her.
