After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 408

As Xunzhi Fu had not experienced the story of meeting Sister Si in his previous life, he was faithful to Shaojiao Commerce to the end and became a praiseworthy good husband. If Shaojiao Commerce had suffered the same experience, I'm afraid Xunzhi Fu would not necessarily have married her.

His family was originally from a chaste lineage that valued the most the chastity of women. Xunzhi Fu's grandmother of the previous generation even had an imperial bestowed chastity archway. Therefore, it was understandable that he had such thoughts. It's just that people of different paths could not persuade each other.

Sigh...Gu Ying sighed softly. No matter what, it's a pity that heaven played with people.

It's a pity that Mu Nanfeng, the enemy of Sister Si's previous life, happened to intervene, and Shaojiao Commerce happened to appear.

When thinking of Shaojiao Commerce, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Gu Ying's mind. Shaojiao Commerce appeared because of Jiang Yin, then what about Mu Nanfeng?

She frowned, and her heart throbbed violently.

Could it be that Jiang Yin was also behind the appearance of Mu Nanfeng?

Gu Ying's eyebrows tightened again and again, and her eyes sank rapidly. She raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows. Her mind was a little chaotic and somewhat painful.

Headaches were habitual to her, but when she thought of Jiang Yin, the irritability in her heart was uncontrollable.

Did this man really die or not? Why did he still come to make her unhappy?

Gu Shuang raised her watery black eyes and said with a wry smile, "Sister, tomorrow, I want Mother to go to the Fu family to cancel the engagement. I have talked it over with him..."

Gu Ying came back to her senses, drove the dog man surnamed Jiang out of her mind, looked at the pitiful and soft-voiced young lady before her, and agreed, "Good, things have come to this point, this marriage must be cancelled. Does my sister need to accompany you?"

Gu Shuang bit her lip, "Um..."

Just now she was indeed brave, but afterwards she felt that she was too reckless...

After cancelling the engagement tomorrow, how could she gain a foothold in Bianjing?

Afraid with her reputation, either she would hang herself with a handkerchief, or shave her head and go to Shuiyun Temple outside the city to become a nun.

It would be fine if it was just her. She could still endure the idle gossips outside. She could pretend she didn't hear them. But what about Mother? What about her younger brother who had just turned one month old?

No family would want to have a daughter like her and a sister with such an infamous reputation.

Gu Ying looked at her frowning little face, raised her eyebrows, and smiled, "Sister Si looks rather pitiful like this. If I were a man, I would definitely marry Sister Si."

Gu Shuang couldn't help pulling the corners of her mouth, losing her smile. "Sister, don't make fun of me. I know no one will come to propose to me ever again after this."

She still had some self-awareness.

So she didn't have much expectation for talking about marriage again. She just hoped that after tomorrow, she could live safely and steadily.

Gu Ying said gently, "Sister Si, don't lose heart. It's not easy to find a three-legged toad, is it still difficult to find a two-legged man? There are so many royal sons and nobles in Bianjing. If nothing else, I will ask the Crown Prince to find a good marriage for Sister Si in the Qilin Army. Those who are personally trained by the Crown Prince are much better than Xunzhi Fu. Sister Si's remarriage is not a difficult matter."

Gu Shuang was actually a little nervous. "Really?"

Gu Ying smiled. "Your marriage was originally decided by me in the first place. To tell the truth, I'm the one who wronged you, so this time, I must find a husband to make up for my mistake. Also, I said, it's not your fault. If you really don't marry for the rest of your life, it would confirm the rumor that you were violated. You are an innocent young lady. Why can't you remarry?"

This time, she would personally vet and find Sister Si a perfect husband!

More handsome than Xunzhi Fu! More talented than Xunzhi Fu! And healthier than Xunzhi Fu!

Gu Shuang pressed her lips together. Her mind was a little confused for a moment.

After half a moment, the carriage finally arrived at the Duke of Dongping's residence.

Gu Ying led Gu Shuang down from the carriage, and saw Ye family's carriage also parked at the gate of the Duke's residence.

Agu was sitting in the carriage bored, pulling the reins.

She had just raised her eyebrows in puzzlement when Agu cheerfully shouted, "Young Master, the Crown Princess is back!"

He called out Young Master, but the one who came out of the carriage was Qin, followed by the slowly descending Ye Qingchi.

The young nobleman was tall and sturdy, with an upright figure. He wore a white robe embroidered with cranes, with a leather belt around his waist, a jade hairpin in his hair, as elegant as a green bamboo and white crane, solemn and refreshing.

In addition, the uniquely superior high-bridged nose of the Ye family made him look particularly heroic.

Gu Ying looked at Ye Qingchi in confusion. Since Imperial Concubine Pei was sent to prison, this cousin of hers had been so busy that he was rarely seen.

She heard from Auntie that he was in charge of several cases that had not yet been resolved. Now that the Emperor had recovered, he was urged to work non-stop. How could he have time to appear here?

Gu Ying asked in bewilderment, "Auntie, cousin, why are you here?"

Gu Shuang hurriedly bowed, "Mother-in-law, brother..."

Ye Qingchi's eyebrows were tranquil, his serene gaze falling on the two young ladies before him.

When Gu Shuang was met with the man's dark gaze, she carefully lowered her head, her eyes nervously staring at her tiptoes, even forgetting her sorrow.

She didn't know why she was a little afraid of him, maybe because he was the youngest imperial censor of the Censorate, naturally endowed with impartiality and severity, or because he was too handsome, full of aggression.

Plus he now had another identity.

Her brother-in-law.

The elder brother was always particularly serious, and he didn't seem to want her reliance on the Ye family's power and influence...

When she returned from the Ye family manor and acknowledged Qin as mother-in-law, there was displeasure and coldness in his eyes looking at her.

Since then, she had become even more afraid of him, for fear that he would think she was someone who curried favor with the rich and powerful and coveted vanity.

But in fact, she really just liked Qin...

Qin pulled Gu Shuang's little hand distressedly, "I came to see Shuang'er. Achi happened to send me here. You must have just returned from Chunyang Lane and haven't heard yet, right?"

Gu Ying's eyes showed a hint of doubt. "Heard what?"

Qin looked around and squeezed Gu Shuang's hand tightly. "There are people everywhere here. Let's go inside and talk."

With such a solemn formation, it seemed no small matter.

After entering the residence and arriving at Reed Catkin Courtyard, Zhao had already returned from Yongshou Hall. When she heard that Qin had come, she hurried over to serve tea and snacks.

Qin pressed her down on the chair at once. "Don't be busy with those things first. Talking about the main issue is more important."

Gu Ying also said, "Auntie, listen to Mother."

Only then did Zhao sit down unceremoniously. In the not very large warm chamber, Gu Ying, Gu Shuang, Qin and Zhao sat down, plus Ye Qingchi.

Gu Ying vaguely guessed something. Frowning her slender brows, she asked, "Is it that Xunzhi Fu got into trouble again?"
