Chapter 237: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 34
"In fact, if you don't come back this time, Aunt Xuan's evil plan to get you married won't work. How could your father give away your engagement letter so easily?"
After playing tricks on each other for so long, if even the marriage of the daughter of the Shen family can be sacrificed so easily, then whoever wants this richest family can take it.
Chen Bin's matter was just Aunt Xuan's wishful thinking. Seeing that Shen Hongshan disagreed, Aunt Xuan wanted to make a lie true and ruin Shen Guli's reputation first.
Then there was Chen Bin who shamelessly made trouble in the noodle shop and took Wuying's matter seriously.
"Next time you have something to say to me, brother. You are a girl, why do you have to dirty your hands!" Shen Gonglin said, "I have also sent people to the capital to deal with Chen Bin. I promise that next time you go to the capital, you will definitely not hear any news from him."
Aunt Xuan cannot be touched for the time being, but Chen Bin is a well-known figure. If anyone dares to ruin his sister's reputation, he must be prepared to have his tongue pulled out.
Shen Guli's eyes curved into a smile. It turned out that her elder brother held her hand to stop her from stabbing Aunt Xuan because he was afraid of dirtying her hands.
Shen Gonglin brought Shen Guli into his study and asked her about some things in the capital, and then the housekeeper came to call people.
"Let's go, big brother will accompany you to the ancestral hall!"
Shen Guli walked behind Shen Gonglin and suddenly asked, "Brother, it was you who arranged for Zhao's sister to break off the engagement, right?"
Shen Gonglin, who had already stepped over the threshold, paused for a moment before striding out, urging, "Hurry up! If you're late, I'm afraid you'll get two more lashes!"
Shen Guli looked at the figure walking in front of her that had become wider without her noticing. She remembered her sister Zhao who always liked to bring her delicious food and often came to the house to meet her brother by chance.
The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts and were engaged when the eldest brother was still in the womb. However, one year before the eldest brother was to get married, the Zhao family came to cancel the engagement.
It seemed that Sister Zhao came to the mansion and saw Shen Gonglin and his concubine being affectionate with each other. Regardless of his family's opposition and Qingmei's face, he insisted on taking the concubine as a concubine before marriage. He even threatened that if he did not care about the relationship between the Shen and Zhao families, he would marry the concubine as his wife.
When the eldest brother said that, Sister Zhao happened to be holding Shen Guli's hand behind the rockery and heard the whole thing.
That was also the last time Shen Guli saw Sister Zhao. Later, the Zhao family came to the Shen family to cancel the engagement. Less than half a year later, Sister Zhao married to her maternal grandparents in Jiangnan.
After so many years, my eldest brother has never married. Shen Guli doesn't believe that my eldest brother is really in love with that concubine.
After learning the reason why the Zhao family broke off the engagement, his mother was so angry that she sold his concubine to a human trafficker.
It is said that after the brother found out, he sent people to find the concubine, set her free, gave her some money and let her go home.
Now it seems that the eldest brother Shen Gonglin knew about Aunt Xuan's affairs earlier than Lin.
Over the years, the eldest brother has been silently bearing it all and trying his best to give his younger siblings a stable and worry-free life.
Shen Guli clenched her fist, she would do her best to protect her elder brother.
Thinking of this, Shen Guli began brainstorming again. She wanted to think of more good ways to make money and try to make the Seventh Prince see her value so that she could impress him and make him protect her family.
With a mother who was a royal concubine and was also on good terms with the crown prince, dealing with the unpopular third prince was, in Gu Li's opinion, just like the elder king meeting the younger king.
Even though they had already arrived at the ancestral hall, Shen Guli was still daydreaming about how to gain the attention of the Seventh Prince.
They are truly a family of merchants. Once the money-making gene in their bones is activated, all they think about all day long is how to make money.
Even when Shen Hongshan glared at her and asked her to kneel down, Shen Guli didn't hear it.
"Father, my sister is still young. She just saw the younger generation of Aunt Xuan's family ran up to her and said shamelessly that she was his fiancée, and she was furious and did that."
"Shut up! How can you be a big brother? Didn't you see her hurting someone? Is that what a lady from a wealthy family should do?"
Shen Guli was brought back to her senses by the quarrel between the father and son. She knelt down on the mat with such speed that the father and son were startled.
If you want to break up the relationship and divorce reasonably, you have to make a big deal out of it. This will come to you eventually.
Shen Hongshan pointed at the rows of tablets of the ancestors of the Shen family above the altar and was about to preach when the housekeeper standing outside suddenly said, "Master, the mistress is looking for you outside the courtyard. There is something urgent!"
Shen Hongshan pointed at his rebellious daughter several times. After his eldest son's repeated urging, he hurried away with heavy steps.
"Just reflect on your mistakes in the ancestral hall."
Shen Gonglin glanced at his sister who was kneeling upright, and followed Shen Hongshan out.
After everyone left, Shen Guli relaxed.
Shen Guli rode in a carriage for seven or eight days from the capital to the farm, and then back to the Shen Mansion. All the bones in his body were sore and painful that he felt like they were about to fall apart.
She pulled the mat beside her and lay down sideways. She didn't even dare to look at the tablet on the altar, and kept muttering, "My dear ancestors, I had to do this to preserve the bloodline of the Shen family. Please forgive me for my unfilial behavior. I am really too sleepy."
Perhaps the ancestors of the Shen family also knew the current situation of the Shen Mansion and understood her helplessness. The ancestral hall, which once felt cold and gloomy due to punishment, was warm today.
Very good sleep.
Maybe it's because there are too many candles, Shen Guli thought vaguely before falling asleep.
She hadn't had a good night's sleep for so long.
This sleep was like fainting, it was a very deep sleep.
When she woke up, she was already in the carriage again. Shen Guli didn't know what day it was, she stared at the ceiling of the carriage in a daze.
"Ali, you finally woke up?"
Shen Guli's eyes moved slowly, "Mother?"
Lin's eyes were red and swollen. Seeing her daughter wake up, she forced a smile and said, "You damn girl, you fainted in the ancestral hall due to a fever. I was really scared to death."
Speaking of the ancestral hall, Shen Guli moved her fingers and turned over to get up, "Why am I here, mother, we came back to do something, we----"
Lin pushed her back onto the mattress, touched her daughter's thin face, and said softly, "Your father and I have already divorced."
While Shen Guli was in a coma due to a fever, Shen Hongshan and Lin had already divorced. Lin took back all her dowry and also asked to take Shen Guli and Shen Helin away.
Shen Hongshan disagreed, so Aunt Xuan came out with a half-swollen and deformed face, crying and making a fuss. Then Shen Guli was found fainted in the ancestral hall by Shen Helin who secretly went to see her.
Lin also started to make a fuss.
Anyway, the Shen Mansion was in chaos, and finally Shen Hongshan had no choice but to listen to Aunt Xuan's pillow talk and expel Shen Guli and Shen Helin from the Shen Mansion without any property.
