âAlright, Iâll go to her soon and let you know tomorrow morning.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
â1â11 leave this to you. You guys go ahead with your work, and Iâll return after breakfast tomorrow.â Constable Zhang stood up and left after that.
After he left, Gu Chengrui turned his head and asked, âBabe, do you want to come with me?â
âItâs still unknown whether your big sister will agree or not, so you should go by yourself.
âHowever, you only need to deliver the news. Donât express your opinions.â âYeah, Iâll be back soon.â Gu Chengrui stood up and left for his sisterâs house. Gu Ziyi was surprised to see him at her door so late at night. She invited him into the house and poured him a glass of water. âChengrui, whatâs the matter?â Gu Chengrui nodded and said, âSister, youâve met Constable Zhang, right?â âWeâve met a few times but never spoken to each other. What is it that could be related to him?â Gu Ziyi asked after she sat down and looked at him in confusion.
âRight, heâs interested in you. He asked me to pass on a message and ask for your opinion.â
Gu Ziyiâs face turned pale when she understood what he meant. She shook her head and replied, âNo need. I donât want to get married again in this life.â Gu Chengrui saw her facial expression and understood she was most likely traumatized by that Chen bastard. He stood up and said, âSister, there are still many good people in the world. Youâre not even 30 yet, so I hope you can walk out of it bravely.â
After he finished speaking, he left.
Gu Ziyi was stunned momentarily before she slumped onto the table and started crying.
Her elderly helper, Aunt Mei, poured her a glass of water. âMadam, your health is more important than anything.â
âAunt Mei, Iâm just feeling troubled. Iâll be fine after this.â Gu Ziyi stood up and wiped her tears in embarrassment.
âYouâre just too headstrong.
âIf you donât mind me speaking, you donât have to protect your chastity for Lord Chen. You just have to live your own life.
âIf thereâs a suitable person, you should take a step forward. Otherwise, you wonât even have someone to talk to when youâre old.â
âYou heard what Chengrui said just now?â
âYes, Mr. Chengrui is right. There are still many good people in the world.â Gu Ziyi hesitated for a moment. âTo be honest, Iâm not avoiding another marriage for that bastard. Iâm mainly afraid my two children will be wronged, so 1 donât dare to take this step.â
There was one more thing that she didnât say out loudâonce bitten, twice shy. She was deeply disappointed and even hopeless about marriage and did not want to get married again.
However, after living alone for more than a year, she could also see that having a man in the family was necessary.
Luckily, her family did not abandon her. Otherwise, she would have been a pile of bones by now.
However, her parents and brothers could help her for a while, but not for a lifetime. She could not always trouble her family.
âItâs not easy to get remarried, but you can ask around and contact him.
âIf heâs a good person and his family accepts you, that would be great. âHonestly, it might not be suitable for the two young ladies if you live alone. âDidnât you notice that they didnât play with the children in the village much? Theyâve also become much quieter than before.
âThis was especially so for the young miss. Other than practicing her calligraphy in the study room, she would practice needlework and rarely speak. âAlso, if her family isnât complete, it will be hard when she wants to discuss marriage in the future.â
Gu Ziyi paused, and then she shook her head. âLet me think about it. Thereâs no rush.â
âYou should rest early, madam. Iâll go and see the two young ladies.â Aunt Mei turned around and left after that..
