Chapter 408: A Young Moth

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 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?"
