Sisters (1)

"You child, you speak without thinking. When you get to the underworld, you won't even have anyone to burn paper money for you..."

"I'll earn it myself!" Gu Wanning said. "I was born a person who could make money, and I'll die a ghost who can make money!"

Who do you think you are!

Baoji sent her more than ten thousand taels of silver.

Although the accounts couldn't be calculated, the other party spoke with absolute certainty, insisting that the facts were correct.

That's right, isn't it? Who doesn't want more money?

Perhaps the boss who ran away with his mistress has turned over a new leaf and is operating normally again.

Baoji is doing well again.

Gu Wanqing was amused, and the weariness in her eyes was dispelled considerably, finally bringing a smile to her bright eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm talking about serious matters!" Wei Shi had also figured out her youngest daughter's temperament—she didn't like lecturing, she didn't like formalities, and she especially disliked being deliberate; she only liked sincerity. "Zhi Nu is clinging to you, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as your He Ge and your Ling Ge, why don't we give Zhi Nu to you to adopt later..."

"Mother!" Gu Wanning immediately interrupted her.

Gu family people always have their own unique and sometimes unconventional ways of handling family relationships.

The intention was clearly "you're good, I'm good, we're all good," but the end result is "you're bad, I'm bad, nobody's good."

"I won't agree."

"Gu Wanning, you..."

"Mother, you think it's the same for Zhi Nu to follow my elder brother and sister-in-law as it is with me. But for my elder brother and sister-in-law, how can it be the same? They lost Zhi Nu for so long, and now they want to make up for it, to make up for Zhi Nu, and to make up for the time they themselves have lost."

Gu Wanqing looked at Gu Wanning without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

"And Mother, these words came from your own mouth. But if my sister-in-law is suspicious, won't she wonder, is this your idea or mine?"

"If my sister-in-law is unwilling, she will refuse, and you won't force her. But isn't there a knot in everyone's heart?"

Wei Shi said, "I hadn't thought that much about it. Your sister-in-law isn't the petty type..."

"Mother, this has nothing to do with being petty. Who wouldn't protect their own child? Even if you took the puppies away, the mother dog would fight you to the death, wouldn't she?"

"But what about you? What about your future...?"

"Mother, the divorce was my own choice, and I will bear the consequences myself. I shouldn't let my sister-in-law cover for me. I need your support in the past, present, and future, but I don't need any of you to sacrifice for me."

"Furthermore," Gu Wanning said gently but firmly, "Mother, don't use the excuse of doing what's best for me to do anything behind my back. I won't appreciate it."

"Gu Wanning, you..."

"I'm fine. I know you mean well, Mom. But Mom, now that I'm back, we'll be spending more time together, and I've wanted to tell you these things for a while. I'll ask you for help if I need it, but please don't make decisions for me."

Gu Wanqing quickly said, "Mother, my sister is right. She can already say these things, so what do you have to worry about? There are many, many unwanted children in the charity hall. If my sister wants one, she can go and choose a good one."

"Yes, I misunderstood," said Wei Shi. "I'm getting old and confused."

"Mother is still young," Gu Wanning said with a smile.

After the mother and daughter finished speaking, Gu Wanning invited Gu Wanqing, "Sister, why don't you come to my place for a bit? It's rented, but it's still a place I can stay."

"Okay, I'll go sit down," Gu Wanqing said with a smile.

Seeing the two sisters getting along so well, Wei Shi was very pleased.

Let's get a divorce then.

Look at the eldest daughter; everyone envies her for "marrying well," but who knows how much suffering she's endured behind the scenes?

Gu Wanqing looked thinner than when she last came back.

The Wei Shi had already begun to regret their actions.

They shouldn't have married their daughter into the Prince's Residence in the first place.

The mother-in-law is an empress, the husband is Prince, the harem is full of wives and concubines, and there are a bunch of illegitimate children...

My daughter was taught from a young age to be gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, modest, generous, sincere, and open-minded, but these are not qualities needed in the backyard.

Gu Wanning led Gu Wanqing to her house.

When Little Flower saw people coming, she wanted to spit.

However, perhaps Gu Wanqing's future Empress Dowager aura was too overwhelming, or perhaps it was simply that the Little Flower was lustful, because she didn't spit.

"This is..." Gu Wanqing looked at the alpaca in surprise.

Chapter 142 Sisters (Part 1)

"It was an alpaca that Marquis gave me before," Gu Wanning said.

Actually, she didn't take Little Flower with her when she left.

The Little Flower was sent by Gao Lan later.

Gu Wanning didn't want to accept it, after all, it was Fifty Thousand Taels of silver, which was too much of a burden for her.

But Gao Lan put Little Flower down and left, while Little Flower Hua ran in and nuzzled Gu Wanning's neck with her little head.

Who could stand this?

Gu Wanning comforted herself, saying that she would help raise him for now, and if Xu Weibei wanted to go back later, or if Xu Weibei needed money and wanted to get rid of him, she would let him.

Pshaw, don't curse Xu Weibei.

Let him make a lot of money, instead of living such a miserable life where even the mistress of the house has to have her monthly allowance cut.

Sigh, come to think of it, he still owes me quite a bit of money each month.

Forget it, let him keep the money to get married.

I wonder if Third Concubine's guess was accurate. Is he alright now?

In short, Gu Wanning kept Little Flower.

"This is only Fifty Thousand Taels?" Gu Wanqing's expression clearly said, "It's not worth it!"

Then, the beautiful woman was also subjected to a merciless verbal attack by the Little Flower.

For some reason, Little Flower particularly dislikes people mentioning the "Fifty Thousand Taels" joke in front of her.

Gu Wanning hurriedly wiped the drool from Gu Wanqing's face, apologizing while scolding Little Flower, "Get out of here, or I'll dock your two carrots!"

Then, she was attacked as well.

The two sisters were in a sorry state and fled together into the room.

Then, they looked at each other and smiled.

"It's alright," Gu Wanqing laughed. "I've been talked about behind my back countless times, but this is the first time it's happened to my face."
