Chapter 708 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (29)

After returning to the courtyard, Yang sent away the three relatives with a few cups of tea and cakes, and she and her father took Gu Yuxi to her room.

"what happened?"

Gu Yuxi immediately cried, "Mom, Grandpa, Gu Shanhu bullied me, and Gu Fenghuan also bullied me!"

"Don't cry, dear. Just tell me how they bullied you."

"The other day I went to put makeup on Gu Shanhu, but after drinking a cup of her tea I passed out. When I woke up I found myself already a married woman, married to Tengyun Village by mistake."

With just a few simple words, Gu Yuxi explained everything clearly.

After a long time, the Yang family father and daughter digested this matter, but they were so angry that they were breathing heavily through their nostrils.

"That's outrageous. That girl is going too far. Don't be afraid, Xi'er. Grandpa will take care of it for you."

"Yes, you are the best. You must make the decision for me. But I just came back and saw that Gu Shanhu and her lover were captured."

"Then... Father, Xi'er has already married into the Shi family. If the people knew about this absurd thing, how would she survive in the future?"

The old man fell into deep thought, and finally looked at Gu Yuxi, and could only ask: "Girl, the matter is done, what do you want to do?"

"Yes, Xi'er, tell us what to do. We will do as you say. I believe you will not suffer any loss."

Gu Yuxi said seriously: "Grandpa, mother, Shi An is a centurion, and it is not wrong for me, a merchant, to marry him."

"I'm not wronged. I think his parents are honest and easy to deal with. They're not as difficult as your mother was back then."

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very good to me. They said that I have the final say in this family. Today, they came to see you and to stand up for me and collect the betrothal gifts and other things from the eldest wife's house."

Yang felt aggrieved, but now that the matter had been settled, she knew clearly that her daughter meant to correct the wrong in a timely manner, to maintain her reputation and get her things back.

"Xi'er, are you sure you want to marry into the Shi family?"

"Mom, I think I'm pregnant."

"Bullshit."

"I feel it."

Seeing Yang's worry, Gu Yuxi said, "I think I've always been lucky. Didn't Gu Fenghuan marry someone in exchange? As a result, the Wen family was exiled, and I escaped."

"Could it be possible that you will become rich and powerful after changing your marriage?"

"I feel this is an incredible fortune. Maybe I'll be a general's wife in the future."

"You are so shameless. You are still joking with your mother at this time."

"Then I won't say anything. Mother, Grandpa, the marriage exchange was already arranged a long time ago. Right now, the eldest wife's family must be more anxious than us because they are afraid that we will cause trouble."

"How can I not make trouble?"

"I mean to take back the betrothal gifts and tokens from the Shi family, so that there won't be any rumors about our Yang family, and not many people will know that Gu Shanhu got married yesterday."

"Well... my poor daughter."

"Don't cry, just listen to me first."

"Listen, mother."

"We are the victims now. The big house owner has to swallow the loss if the conditions are better. So don't be timid when you ask for things later."

"I know. I know what you mean."

The three of them talked in the room for a long time before Gu Yuxi and the others came out. Yang spoke frankly to the cheap relative: "Xier has explained the whole story to us. A girl cannot be kept at home when she grows up. My daughter is spoiled and cannot tolerate any grievance."

"Hey, mother-in-law, we know that Xiaoxi has been wronged this time, and we are also in a difficult situation, but the matter is done, and we also feel that we have committed a serious sin."

"Xi'er agrees to this marriage, and as a mother, I have nothing to say. From now on, she will be a wife of the Shi family, but she is still a daughter of the Yang family. If anyone dares to bully her, I will grind that person to ashes!"

"No, no, we love this girl so much that we won't bully her."

Seeing that Father and Mother Shi were so easy to control, Yang felt relieved and had a better impression of the in-laws. She said in a more gentle tone, "That's good enough. Where's the betrothal gift?"

"We'll get it right away."

"Let's go."

The group soon arrived at the inspection office, and Shi Mu began knocking on the door. When the servant saw the people at the door, he was suddenly speechless.

Gu Yuxi: "Young man, you definitely don't want the master to be angry with you, so lead the way."

"I will report this to the master right away."

Gu Yuxi and his companions had no problems along the way. A slightly pale man said ashamedly, "Niece, I'm sorry for this. How about this? You've been married off, five taels of silver..."

"Uncle, you know I've suffered a loss, but I didn't expect you to want me to suffer a greater loss."

"Don't take your uncle's words to heart."

"Aunt, I remember that the Shi family's wedding was originally my wedding two years ago, but you forgot where you put the love lock, right?"

Gu Yuxi's words brought the man's memory back. His eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's because my uncle is old and confused that this ridiculous thing happened."

"That's right. My parents-in-law said that the keepsake is with you. It seems that it is not lost. It should be returned to its original owner today, right?"

"Of course." The man thought Gu Yuxi was really smart. He solved the problem in just a few words. He stared at Aunt Ning and said, "Ning, where is the love lock?"

"Ah...it's in my room. I'll get it right away."

Father Shi said, "Brother Gu, the one we were betrothed to was the daughter of the Gu family. There is no mistake about that. It's just that your sister-in-law and I are old and our eyesight is dim, so we sent the betrothal gifts to the wrong place. You are an official now, so don't be as confused as I was."

"Brother Shi, you and I are still in-laws, and I will return the betrothal gifts in full."

"That's good."

"Someone, go to the warehouse and take inventory immediately."

Gu Yuxi looked at Shi's father's calm demeanor and became wary, wondering if this father-in-law had some unspeakable secret.

But for now, just get your betrothal gifts back, and check the other things later.

"Niece, your keepsake was originally with your aunt, and today it has been returned to its original owner."

Playing with the top-quality love lock, Gu Yuxi felt it was ironic, as she didn't see it when Gu Fenghuan got married, but she saw it today.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Ning. My aunt is so relaxed that she doesn't even have time to take care of these engagement tokens. She even spent a long time looking for them."

"I, your aunt, am used to being leisurely, unlike some people..."

Aunt Ning was glared at and lowered her head even lower, cursing Gu Yuxi several times in her heart.

Gu Yuxi looked at Gu Shanhu who was kneeling on the ground and asked with concern: "Sister Shanhu, you are really smart. If you don't want to get married, just say it clearly. The person you are going to marry is not you. Otherwise, why don't you ask Aunt Ning?"

"Sister, I..." Gu Shanhu looked at the panicked Aunt Ning and her father's evasive eyes, and felt that her life was really miserable.

Gu Shanhu realized that it was Gu Fenghuan who was supposed to marry Shi An, but Gu Fenghuan didn't want to. Later, her father saw that Shi An was a centurion, so he arranged the marriage with the man in Ning's courtyard.

But because Shi An had a bad reputation, he finally set his sights on her.

So she and Gu Yuxi are the ones who have been plotted against.
