Chapter 256: The Past (Part 2)

Qin Wenyin thought about it a lot, but she didn't expect that what Gu Huaijin took out was a divorce letter. At that time, she was both happy and heartbroken.

Fortunately, her husband's heart was not vicious enough, and he didn't think of putting her to death, and his heart ached for his betrayal of their marriage.

Seeing him crying and weeping on her knees, Qin Wenyin deeply understood her elder brother's disapproval at the beginning, his tenderness turned into cowardice, he could not protect her, and he chose to give up in the face of suffering.

Qin Wenyin felt pain and bitterness in her heart, but she didn't regret it. She chose the road, and she had to go on no matter how difficult it was.

Because she saw that Gu Huaijin had no intention of harming her, she didn't leave immediately, because she didn't want to be abandoned, even if she wanted to leave the Gu family, it should be a divorce.

But these were trivial matters for her at the time, and she had bigger things to do, such as dealing with the jailers to make her brother feel better in prison, and contacting the courtiers to rescue him.

But the situation changed rapidly, the elder brother was imprisoned in the death row, and the imperial guards surrounded the Qin family, even the sister-in-law and the three-year-old niece were not spared.

Qin Wenyin felt the sense of urgency that the storm was coming, and at the same time, she also noticed the undercurrent in Gu's mansion.

The people around her were not vegetarians, and when she didn't have the energy to manage the inner house, her personal nuns and maids brought her first-hand news.

Only then did she realize that it was Tang and Jiang's proposal that she was abandoned. They were obviously very afraid that the Gu family would be involved in it.

And her dowry girl knew from Mrs. Jiang that Gu Huaijin would marry the second young lady of the Fang family after she divorced her. The two of them had been getting close recently and often met in trysts.

Qin Wenyin thought that she would cry, but she didn't. At that time, she was so calm and self-possessed that even she couldn't believe it.

She exchanged all the cashable things at hand for bank notes and carried them close to her body, then handed over all the dowry deeds to them, and gave them a Zhuangzi that was not on the dowry list and unknown to everyone in the Gu family.

Then she began to prepare to escape from the Gu family.

She knew that if the divorce letter was just written by Gu Huaijin timidly and cowardly, there was still room for change. When Master Gu and Mrs. Gu came back, she could discuss whether to stay or reconcile.

But if the three members of the Gu family make a joint decision, even if Gu Houye and Mrs. Gu are afraid of the Qin family, they will not let her go if she knows the truth. They will control her and let her slow down. Slowly weak, melancholy to death.

Gu Houye and Mrs. Gu are not the three brothers Gu Huaijin, they will not soften their hearts, they must be much more decisive.

So she wanted to leave, to leave the capital, but before that, she had to make adequate preparations.

Qin Wenyin was planning to go back to Runing, or move to the elder brother's house, at least to save her life temporarily, and then continue to roam for her elder brother.

But she just gave out the dowry contract, and the emperor's judgment came down—exile to Qiongzhou!

This verdict, which was extremely inconsistent with Qin Xinfang's crime of treason, let Qin Wenyin know that the emperor knew that his elder brother was wronged, but he still made the verdict.

This meant that it was difficult to persuade the emperor to rescind his order or pardon Qin Xinfang.

Although it was difficult, Qin Wenyin still wanted to try one or two, so she did not follow Qin Xinfang when they were exiled from Beijing the next day, but stayed in the capital to continue to build relationships.

At the same time, she didn't tell her brother and sister-in-law that she had received Gu Huaijin's divorce letter the day before, so she sent him out of the capital with a smile.

But the crisis was caught off guard. I don't know who proposed to Jiang to eradicate the weeds, but Jiang agreed to this proposal either out of concern for the Gu family or wanting to get her dowry without any worries.

It was too late when she knew the news, and she could only escape from the Gu mansion and the capital with a package under the cover of a few confidants.

In less than half a month, the once loving couple broke up, and the once friendly and intimate sister-in-law tried to put her to death. Qin Wenyin was so uncomfortable that she almost died. However, after experiencing so much suffering, her heart became numb and hardened.

But no matter how numb and stubborn she was, she couldn't calmly accept the death of her little niece, Nannan. The child died because of her and Jing Yun, and also because of the pressing force of the Gu family.

This hatred has tortured Qin Wenyin for fifteen years, how could she give up so easily?

But no matter how much she hated her, Qin Wenyin still couldn't help being disappointed and sad seeing the person she once liked turned into this.

He Zipei held her hand, hugged her shoulders and said, "Don't feel bad, in Baolu's words, you will inevitably meet a few scumbags in your life, just don't take them to heart."

Qin Wenyin smiled at her sister-in-law, leaned on her shoulder and said nothing.

Master Gu made a strong move, neither the three sons nor the three daughters-in-law dared to do anything in private.

The Qin family's dowry was sorted out quickly, and what was missing was made up with Jiang's and Tang's dowry, and the rest was taken from the Gu family's treasury.

Fortunately, the Gu family was born as a general, and they searched for a lot of spoils during the war, and those things have been piled up in the warehouse. If they can't pay for Qin Wenyin's priceless collection, they will use these things to pay for it, and if one is not worth enough, they will give two. or three pieces.

In this way, the things sorted out were even more than what Qin Wenyin carried when she married in.

This is the big treasury of the Gu family. The key has always been in the hands of Mrs. Gu, and it is planned to leave it for future generations to pass on to the family. Tang and Jiang didn't know that the Gu family still had such good things, but when they thought that these good things would be paid to Qin Wenyin, their eyes turned red with hatred.

But they didn't have the guts to object at all, because Master Gu did what he said and sent Jiang Shi back to the Jiang family. No matter how much the second bedroom child begged, it was useless. Even Gu Huaixin was driven to the ancestral hall by Gu Houye to kneel for a day.

Tang felt that if she hadn't entered the palace to cry, she would have been sent back to the Tang family.

Not to mention Fang's, she fell ill after Qin Wenyin left, but Gu Houye didn't intend to let her be cured before leaving, so he directly stuffed Gu Huaijin and Fang's into the carriage and asked them to escort them back to their hometown.

Without saying a word, Gu Lekang picked up the package and got into the car to take care of his mother. Master Gu stopped him and said, "Kang'er, you still have to go to school, just let the guards escort them."

Gu Lekang bowed silently to Lord Gu Hou, and said stubbornly: "Mother is sick, Shen Ke, how can she not wait on her as a son of man? When the mother recovers, the grandson will go to Beijing to study."

Gu Houye looked a little ugly, but he didn't stop him anymore, but sent another ten guards to the convoy to escort him back to his hometown safely.

Gu Lekang climbed into the carriage, Fang Shi was lying in the carriage with a sick face, Gu Huaijin sat on the side frowning, Gu Lekang ignored him, crawled to Fang Shi and helped her up to feed her water.

Fang looked at Gu Huaijin and kept crying.

Gu Lekang felt restless, forcefully poured her half a glass of water and then put her down, saying with a deadpan expression: "You rest, tell the girls what you want."

Then he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage to ask someone for a horse.

Riding on the horse, the feeling of suffocation was slightly weakened. If his grandfather was not afraid that his mother would have an accident on the road, he would not have followed along.

Gu Lekang looked at the bustling and bustling streets of the capital, but felt very empty and cold in his heart. He clenched the rein in his hand, his eyes became firmer, he wanted to escape, to escape from the suffocating bondage of the Gu family. The third brother said that only his own ability is strong enough to fight against the suffering in the world, and he also wanted to escape. It's better to become stronger.

On the fifth day after Qin Wenyin came back from the Gu family, the Gu family sent her the dowry and the average income for the past fifteen years.

It was delivered by Tang herself, who had just finished crying for two days. Her face was pale and haggard, and it was obvious that she had suffered a great blow.

This time, Tang's and Jiang's almost emptied their dowry.

Because the value of the Qin family's collections is too high, it may be difficult to sell them in a short time, but their value is really high, especially in the eyes of collectors and some scholars, those things are priceless treasures .

What they can't ask for can only be found in the Gu family's big mansion treasury to find something of comparable value to pay for. If they can't find it, they can only take money from their dowry to buy those priceless collections to pay for.

Just paying the compensation almost emptied their dowry, not to mention paying compensation for fifteen years of income.

The Tang family and the Jiang family are not good at management. They got Qin Wenyin's dowry back then, in order to avoid making trouble with her dowry, they dismissed all the managers and long-term workers in the store and the village, and re-arranged people to come in.

Similarly, they also lost the original customers and suppliers of the store, and everything needed to be started again.

In the first three years, several shops and even Zhuangzi were losing money, and they couldn't find the reason at all?

Although the income has improved in the past ten years, there are still some shops and Zhuangzi who are losing money. However, the five-year account books sent by Qin Wenyin are all profitable, but the profit is not small. If you spit it all out, you have to subsidize a lot.

How could Tang's complexion be pretty?

She hasn't confronted Qin Wenyin face to face, but she is actually afraid of her. Of the three daughters-in-law in the Gu family, Qin Wenyin has the highest status, and she is also the most favored by the old lady after she gets married.

Back then, for the sake of Gu's family, she and Jiang shi urged Gu Huaijin to divorce his wife. It was not in vain, so seeing Qin Wenyin again, no matter how ugly Tang's face was, she couldn't help but smile.

Qin Wenyin ignored her, and took the dowry list to check it. After confirming that there were no fakes and accounting problems, she put a mark on the dowry list, indicating that the receipt had been completed, and the two families were completely settled.

Bai Yitang wandered in with Niu Niu on his shoulders, saw that the yard was full of things and there was no place to set his feet, he couldn't help sighing, "So you have so much dowry, no wonder so many people wanted to marry you back then. What is the difference between marrying a golden mountain?"

Qin Wenyin glared at him, telling him to pay attention to his words in front of the child, and then said to Niu Niu who was sitting on his neck: "Come on, Niu Niu, how old are you still sitting on Uncle Bai's neck?"

"I don't!" Niuniu grabbed Bai Yitang's hair tightly, "I just like to sit like this."

Bai Yitang yelled out, "Auntie, please be gentle, my head is not made of iron, nor is my hair drawn from silk~~~"

Niu Niu grabbed her even tighter, Qin Wenyin stretched out her hand to grab her funny, and asked angrily at the same time, "Will you still put her on your neck in the future?"

Tang looked at the two of them, two big and one small, and his expression became weird.

There have long been rumors among the people that Qin Wenyin remarried and gave birth to a daughter, but later someone refuted the rumor that the child was Qin Xinfang and He Zipei, and that the man was only Qin Xinfang's friend.

But from the cash point's point of view, it is true that the child belonged to Qin Xinfang and He Zipei, but the relationship between Qin Wenyin and that man may not be false.

Tang lowered her eyes to think, and then she glanced at a small box at her feet. She knew that it contained a box of Dongzhu, which was given by Qin Wenyin when she got married. But she loves jade more, so the Dongzhu has been kept. Need not.

After she went south, she and Tang Corps shared the box of pearls, and now the box contained the high-quality pearls that they had bought from the shop at a huge price.

She couldn't help laughing bitterly in her heart, no matter how Qin Wenyin's relationship with this man is, it has nothing to do with her. The Qin family has already taken the document of reconciliation and departure to make a book in the yamen. No contact with anyone except Gu Jingyun.

Even if Qin Wenyin really has a special relationship with this man, it's no longer an excuse.

Tang's face became even more ashamed, she raised her head to look at Qin Wenyin, and said, "Since the dowry has been handed over, I will take my leave first."

Qin Wenyin nodded slightly, and said sideways: "Heart, see off the guests."
