How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 228 Mother, I want to be your daughter-in-law again in my next life.

Madam Gu thought to herself: "They've already been thrown into the yamen, and they're still causing trouble." She continued, "I also want to divorce her, but she's with Miss Qian now. If you divorce her on behalf of the second son, wouldn't that be a slap in Miss Qian's face?"

"If you say anything to Miss Qian, her uncle will punish you for speaking ill of an official of the court. If you slap Miss Qian in the face, her uncle will surely send you to jail for life!"

"Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?"

"Also, if you go to jail, Hao'er and the others won't be able to participate in the imperial examinations."

“If Hao’er and the others can’t participate in the imperial examinations, they won’t become officials. If Hao’er and the others can’t become officials, you won’t be able to offer them advice or help them realize their dreams. Didn’t you say that if you had the chance, you could definitely turn the poorest county into the richest?”

While patting Old Man Gu's head to help him catch his breath, the old lady rambled on and on. "They're just children, don't take it to heart."

“I…I am a renowned scholar, and they show me no respect whatsoever.”

The old lady thought to herself: You didn't give them any face either, did you? "They don't understand these things. Alright, alright, are you hungry? I'll have someone make you some of your favorite dishes."

Old Gu had no appetite. "I don't want my second son's wife to become a female teacher not only because I don't want her to be in the public eye, but also because I'm afraid she'll have an affair."

"Don't worry. If she does anything reckless, Miss Qian will be the first to object. Miss Qian invited her to be a tutor, and a tutor not only needs to be knowledgeable but also virtuous. That's also why I don't want you to divorce her. If you divorce her, people will think she has moral problems."

"Her character was problematic to begin with."

The old lady thought to herself: "Your character is the problem. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?"

"I...I'm going to find my in-laws."

After saying that, Old Man Gu stormed off in a huff.

The old lady rolled her eyes. "Someone come here."

"Yes."

A young maidservant entered. "Madam, what are your orders?"

"Go and fetch the First Madam."

"Yes."

A moment later, the First Madam arrived. "Mother, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes. You know about your second brother's wife, right?"

"understood."

“Your second sister-in-law left in a hurry, so please take her things to her.”

"What about... Father's side?"

The old lady glared at her eldest daughter-in-law. "If you listen to him, you'll all be in trouble. What else can he do besides write a few sentimental poems? No, he can even get himself into jail."

Madam: "..."

"I asked you to deliver the things to your second brother's wife because it's for your own good. You might need to rely on her in the future."

The First Madam felt that her mother-in-law was giving Du Shi too much credit. She was just a female tutor, after all. "I understand, I'll go right away."

"Yes. Miss Qian will be staying here for a while. If you have nothing to do, go and chat with your second sister-in-law."

"Okay. Mother, I'll go take care of my work now."

"Go."

After the First Madam left, Madam Gu went to the ancestral hall. "Second son, you must bless your wife. Also, if your wife wants to remarry in the future, you mustn't be angry with her. It's your own fault for being so weak. If your wife remarries, I'll arrange a ghost marriage for you."

On the other side, after Old Man Gu found Old Man Du, he wanted him to go and ask Little Dog Sheng for people.

Old Man Du didn't want others to know how cowardly he was. "In-law, my daughter has been guarding your second son for so many years, you should be content."

"You! You've disappointed me so much!"

"You've disappointed me too. Why can't you let my daughter live the life she wants for even a few days?"

"You! I'm going to divorce your daughter for the sake of the second son!"

"Take a break." Anyway, if I take a break, I won't come back and cause him any trouble.

"You! You've gone too far!"

"You're going too far. My daughter just wants to be a teacher, not remarry."

"You! You only sent your daughter because the Qian family is rich and powerful." "Don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards."

You're the one who's a scoundrel!

……

The two had a big argument and parted on bad terms.

Old Gu wrote several letters of divorce, but eventually tore them up.

On the other side, after delivering Du's belongings, the First Madam wanted to persuade Du to reconsider, but she found that Du's spirit and energy were completely different from when she was at the Gu family. "Second Sister-in-law, do you like it here?"

Mrs. Du nodded. "I feel like I've come back to life."

Is it really that good?

Madam Du smiled. "Please thank Mother for me. Tell her that I belonged to Second Master in life and in death."

"Okay. You go ahead with your work, I won't bother you anymore."

"I'll take you there. Thank you for helping me pack."

"You're welcome."

After returning home, the First Madam told the Old Madam what Madam Du had said.

The old lady smiled. "I understand. Go back and rest."

The next day, after finishing her work, Du was about to go to the canteen for lunch when the old woman guarding the gate told her that her mother-in-law had arrived.

Madam Du quickly came out to greet her. "Mother, what brings you here?"

"I came to see how you're doing here?"

"I'm doing very well here. Let me show you around."

"it is good."

Madam Du led the old lady on a tour. The old lady nodded repeatedly. "If I were as young as you, I would also come here to be a teacher. Come, let's go to your room and sit for a while."

"it is good."

After leading the old lady to her room, Madam Du went to the dining hall and got two meals. "Mother, please try our food."

The old lady looked at them, somewhat surprised. "You're eating quite well."

"We have a caravan."

The old lady was surprised. "You have caravans?"

"Hmm. Do you know who's in charge of the caravan?"

"Who?"

"Jiang Shenglin".

This surprised the old lady even more. "No wonder you're eating so well. Besides checking on you, your mother also wanted to give you two documents."

The old lady took out two documents from her sleeve.

After reading it, Madam Du immediately returned it to Madam Gu. "Mother, I was born to be Second Master's person, and I will die to be Second Master's ghost."

The old lady then placed the document in Du's hands. "It's enough that you have this intention. If you meet someone suitable in the future, then take another step forward. Your mother is getting old and doesn't know when she will pass away. So, your mother is writing a letter of divorce for you on behalf of the second son."

"If you find the right one, then bring it up; if not, then forget about it."

"Of course, your mother also has her own selfish motives. Your mother thinks that Miss Qian's status will probably rise higher and higher in the future. Therefore, your mother still wants to recognize you as her goddaughter and wants you to protect the Gu family. If you are willing, put your fingerprint and sign your name on this kinship recognition document."

"Mother, I want to be your daughter-in-law."

The old lady touched Madam Du's face. "Good child, you've called me mother for so many years, I can't let your father-in-law and your father make things difficult for you."

"Mother?"

"My dear child, your mother needs to make arrangements for your future."

"Mother, I want to be your daughter-in-law again in my next life."
