I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 1 Ignorance

"Wanwan, my brother and I have brought a girl home. Yueling's life experience is even more miserable than yours. Please don't bully her from now on."

Ye Wanshu hadn't recovered from the shock of her rebirth yet, and Gu Tingchen's words hit her like a heavy hammer on the forehead.

Looking at the Gu brothers, whose hearts and eyes were once filled with her, Ye Wanshu felt as if her heart was pierced by a needle, and a sharp pain arose.

"Second cousin, you're joking. We're all guests here, and I know how to be a guest." His tone was light, revealing indifference and alienation.

Thinking of the situation in her previous life where Jiang Yueling took every opportunity to provoke and frame her, Ye Wanshu could only sneer in her heart.

"What kind of guest are you?" Gu Tingchen was very unhappy when he heard this. "You know that our father and mother have already designated you as the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion. One of us brothers has to marry you. Who are you pretending to be for?"

Gu Tingzhou didn't want to make things too awkward, so he spoke in a slightly gentler tone, "Wanwan, you're about to marry into our family. How can a lady like you, the head of the household, say something so unkind?"

Taking a step forward, Gu Tingzhou habitually held her hand and asked, "Wanwan, are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Wanshu shook her head, took a step back, and quietly broke away from him, "Children's words are innocent. The previous marriage was just a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously. My two cousins, don't take it to heart."

"Just a joke?"

Gu Tingchen felt like he had just heard a huge joke, his eyes gleaming with sarcasm: "Do you think we in the Rongguo Mansion are just actors? Do you think the oath we made before your grandmother's coffin is just a joke?"

Seeing him speaking so seriously, Ye Wanshu smiled self-deprecatingly.

It turns out that the two brothers still remember this incident.

Because her mother had broken off relations with her father, she had lived with her mother at her maternal grandparents' home since she was young. She was slow to warm up and cold in nature, and had an innate aversion to men.

The year her mother died, robbers broke into her house. The two young masters of the Rongguo Mansion were so worried that they almost moved the entire mansion to Tongyang. They stayed there with her for a full ten years, protecting her wholeheartedly and healing her unfortunate childhood.

Ye Wanshu once firmly believed that she would marry one of the two brothers.

But in her previous life, on the eve of her coming-of-age banquet, Gu Tingzhou and Gu Tingchen spent a fortune in a brothel, brought back a famous prostitute, and vied with each other to ask for her hand in marriage at her coming-of-age banquet, which made her uncle and aunt so angry that they vomited blood on the spot, and made her a laughing stock in the entire Lin'an City.

From then on, her misfortune in the second half of her life began, and she suffered endless hardships and paid a heavy price.

In this life, she just wanted to stay away from the two brothers.

"Just treat it as a joke." Ye Wanshu closed her eyes. "I'm a little tired today. My two cousins ​​should go back and rest early."

The two brothers looked at each other, and Gu Tingzhou's usually gentle and affectionate eyes were rarely tinged with anger.

"Wanwan, your brother Chen and I just felt sorry for Yueling's life. We brought her back home, not because we didn't want to marry you. Why do you have to say such hurtful words?"

Ye Wanshu found it incredibly ironic that he always talked about other people's lives. "Her life story is pitiful, but was it caused by me?"

Gu Tingzhou frowned slightly: "Of course not."

"If she's not, why should I bear the consequences of her suffering?" Ye Wanshu curled her lips coldly: "What does it have to do with me whether she's pitiful or not?" "You..."

Gu Tingzhou found her words somewhat unreasonable: "When did you become so cold and indifferent?"

Gu Tingchen had already lost his patience: "Brother, why did you explain so much to her? I think she has been spoiled by us over the years and can't figure out her place."

Glancing fiercely at Ye Wanshu, he continued, "You've only brought a girl home, and you're acting like a mistress before you've even become one. And you're already acting like one? If you feel suffocated staying in the Duke's Mansion, then go back to your old home in Tongyang."

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

As she watched the tall figure disappear, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in the corners of her eyes.

In her impression, although Gu Tingchen had a rebellious personality, he was very gentle and considerate to her. She didn't know when he became so impatient and prejudiced towards her.

In the previous life, after the incident at the coming-of-age banquet, he was forced to marry her, but it seemed that marrying her was a great shame. After the marriage, he spent all day hanging out in brothels drinking. Even though she bowed her head and tried to please him in every way, until she died of depression, Gu Tingchen never touched her once.

Looking back at Gu Tingzhou with a cold gaze, Ye Wanshu spoke in a voice as cold as ice: "Cousin, you should go back soon."

After being urged twice in a row, Gu Tingzhou felt cold in his heart.

"Wanwan, you are really becoming more and more ignorant now."

After leaving these words of reproach, Gu Tingzhou walked out of the door in disappointment.

As soon as the two left, Chunhong and Xingtao, who had been hiding in the inner room, rushed out quickly and urged anxiously, "Young Master, the Young Master and the Second Young Master love you deeply. You shouldn't lose your temper over such a small matter, right?"

Chunhong and Xingtao had no choice but to be unfaithful, but half of their hearts had already been with the two brothers for so many years. Only they could tell the right from wrong in many things after experiencing them. Ye Wanshu was too lazy to say anything and started packing her luggage.

After packing for a while, he saw that the two maids were still standing there, so he gave an order: "It will be my aunt's birthday in a few days. After celebrating her birthday, we will return to the old house in Tongyang. Please hurry up and pack your luggage these days."

"Tongyang has suffered a disaster, and right now there's chaos and turmoil. The Duke's wife just brought you to Lin'an, so why are you thinking of going back?"

Xingtao was completely confused, and Ye Wanshu didn't explain much. After putting together all the things that the Gu brothers had given her over the years, she dragged her tired body to the inner room and lay down.

In her new life, she still has a lot to adapt to, so she needs to calm down first.

Although the marriage with the Duke of Rong's Mansion has not been officially signed, it is arranged by her parents and the matchmaker. Her aunt is her only relative now. Her uncle and aunt have already recognized her as the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion. After tomorrow, it will be set in stone.

She had to cancel the engagement before her coming-of-age banquet.

It's just that my aunt is a bit paranoid, so it might take some effort to get her to agree.

I slept in a daze all night. When I woke up and before I opened my eyes, I heard Chunhong's hurried voice ringing in my ears.

"Miss, please get up and go out and take a look. The woman that the young master and the second young master brought back was kneeling in front of our courtyard gate early in the morning."
