Gu Changgeng's lips trembled slightly. He did not dare to turn around and look into the eyes of those watching the excitement. He could only shout loudly, "Sir, this is simply nonsense. My seventh mother is both talented and beautiful, and she has always been the pride of our couple. .”

"You can only have one such a good daughter in your life. It's too late for me to love her like jewels, so how can I harm her?"

"Even if I am, as you say, the kind of father who is full of scheming to sell his daughter, how stupid would I be to sell you to someone for a secret marriage in exchange for a big boat. Instead of plotting to become a wealthy and wealthy family, I would have a long-lasting relationship with you. ?”

Gu Changgeng said, looking at Qi who was at a loss.

He sneered and defended, "Besides, I'm afraid this fake Xiaoxiao didn't find out clearly. My wife Qi is from a wealthy businessman background. She was also brought in as a dowry. If she really wanted to buy it, how could she still not be able to buy a boat? ?”

"If you are really my Qiniang, ask yourself, the money I spent on you back then, not to mention a big boat, would always be half of it!"

"Although I failed in many examinations and did not pass the Jinshi examination, at least I am still a candidate for the exam. This is something I can count clearly."

When the people around me heard this, they also recovered from the shock just now!

The underworld marriage is too scary, it's like God's thunder, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, it suddenly blinds your mind.

But when I calmed down and thought about it, I felt that it was too absurd. What Gu Changgeng said also made some sense.

That's right, how could a master of the people's education be so stupid as to kill the goose and retrieve the eggs?
  If Gu Qiniang is married into a high family, she will always be able to help her mother's family. Maybe she still has the life to enter the palace and fly to the sky!

Today is no different than the previous dynasty, and the ladies in the harem are not all from high-ranking families. Even the singers from the market have a chance to enter the middle palace.

Gu Qiniang may not be so lucky. Wouldn't it be a pity to use her as a match for a yin marriage?

"That's right! It's a human life. How can any parent be so cruel!"

At the front of the crowd watching the excitement was a tall and thick man. On his shoulders was a three-year-old child who was eating cakes. The scum of pastry made a mess in the child's mouth, and a lot fell on the big man's bald head.

But he seemed to be used to it and didn't care at all. He listened carefully and couldn't help but interrupt to comment.

Just when Gu Changgeng was feeling faintly proud of his approval, the man added another murmur, "But didn't you repay your brother-in-law for killing his sister-in-law and his nephew yesterday? What's so strange about his father selling his daughter to a ghost marriage today?"

The people who were watching the excitement felt that it made sense, and acted like they were suddenly enlightened.

Gu Changgeng's smile froze on his face.

Gu Shiwei looked at him and sneered, "Isn't that what it is? If the Gu family doesn't have a guilty conscience, why should they keep yelling at the court and interrupting the accuser's accusation?"

"If the Gu family is so arrogant and doesn't even care about a ship, then why did they sell my mother-in-law's dowry? I have the house and land deeds written in black and white to prove it. It's a shame to pretend to be fat. It’s a big deal to lie in court!”

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Gu Qiniang who was kneeling there.

Gu Qiniang nodded at Gu Shinwei and continued talking about the Spring Banquet.

"As soon as I came back from the banquet, I immediately fell ill. Although my father did not agree on the spot, we are closely related by blood, and I could tell that he was already interested. My mother, the Qi family, does come from a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan."

"She did marry into the Gu family with a red dowry of ten miles, but a large part of the dowry was used to donate an official position to my father." "Not only that, everything in Bianjing is precious. All the men in the Gu family are fine. Giving birth, working as a scholar at home, doing repairs, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, weddings and funerals, favors, managing the officialdom, expanding the house... Which of these is not money? "

"By the time of the Spring Banquet, how much do you have left of the dowry? You can still buy a big boat and a big coffin!"

Gu Qiniang's eyes turned red as she spoke. She raised her hand and pointed at Gu Changgeng angrily, "That ship is what the Gu family is interested in. What they want is that Su Zhuan Envoy will turn a blind eye from now on." Eyes, let that canal become the Gu family’s endless money bag!”

When Gu Qiniang said this, her eyes fell on Li Mao who was standing aside. Before he could glare back fiercely, she moved away like a dragonfly touching water.

"I was lying on the hospital bed, listening to Gu Changgeng telling me that if this marriage happens, not only will he get a good job, but my brothers will also have a good future in the future... The Gu family will also have a hidden secret. The way to make money. When the time comes, our second wife will become the most important existence in my grandfather's heart."

"Just like when his grandfather looked at him when he was a young man and won the Jinshi..."

Gu Qiniang said, crying bitterly, "They have considered everything, but they have not considered me."

Gu Qiniang's eyes turned to the Qi family aside, "I kneel on the ground and beg you. I say that I can marry to the Su family, and then adopt a child in the Su family clan and raise him as Su Huai's legitimate son. In this way, although I I am a widow, but at least I still have a way to survive!”

"You said that the Gu family wants to lose face. If the story of the incest relationship spreads, it will lose face."

"I kneel on the ground and beg you again. I say that I can change my name, fake death, leave the Gu family, and never return to Bianjing. In this way, the secret relationship will still be formed. Although I will be alone from now on, I will still be alive after all."

"I'm only a teenager! I've read so many books and learned so much music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I haven't put it to use yet. I haven't even taken a step out of Bianjing. My whole life has been in the Gu family. In the oppressive house, bound by forty-nine family rules, I never had a relaxing day."

"But what about you? My father, my mother, my elder brother, my younger brother... my closest relatives just looked at me like that and said nothing."

"You didn't move, but you killed me with your silent silence."

"It's like wild beasts, gnawing at me until there is no trace of my body left!"

Gu Qiniang said and stood up suddenly, "Are fame, wealth, family glory, so important? It's so important that you don't even want to be a human being!"

Among Gu Changgeng's three sons, the youngest one moved his lips. He took a step forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by his elder brother.

Gu Qiniang saw it in her eyes and finally couldn't help laughing.

Gu Changgeng, who was standing in front of her, watched and laughed.

His smile made even Gu Shiwei couldn't help but look at him. Could he be crazy?

Wang Yihe in the hall was watching the two competing, hahaha. He couldn't hold back his eyes and clapped the gavel silently.

Gu Changgeng's smile stopped abruptly, and he cupped his hands towards Wang Yihe, "Sir, I am sure that the woman in front of me is definitely not my daughter Gu Qiniang. Because when my son smiles, there is a Li Wan'er, but she didn't."

"She is not my daughter Gu Qiniang at all. My daughter died long ago due to illness."
