“Alright, I’ll go to her soon and let you know tomorrow morning.”
“1’11 leave this to you. You guys go ahead with your work, and I’ll return after breakfast tomorrow.” Constable Zhang stood up and left after that.
After he left, Gu Chengrui turned his head and asked, “Babe, do you want to come with me?”
“It’s still unknown whether your big sister will agree or not, so you should go by yourself.
“However, you only need to deliver the news. Don’t express your opinions.” “Yeah, I’ll be back soon.” Gu Chengrui stood up and left for his sister’s 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. “Chengrui, what’s the matter?” Gu Chengrui nodded and said, “Sister, you’ve met Constable Zhang, right?” “We’ve met a few times but never spoken to each other. What is it that could be related to him?” Gu Ziyi asked after she sat down and looked at him in confusion.
“Right, he’s interested in you. He asked me to pass on a message and ask for your opinion.”
Gu Ziyi’s face turned pale when she understood what he meant. She shook her head and replied, “No need. I don’t want to get married again in this life.” Gu Chengrui saw her facial expression and understood she was most likely traumatized by that Chen bastard. He stood up and said, “Sister, there are still many good people in the world. You’re not even 30 yet, so I hope you can walk out of it bravely.”
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. “Madam, your health is more important than anything.”
“Aunt Mei, I’m just feeling troubled. I’ll be fine after this.” Gu Ziyi stood up and wiped her tears in embarrassment.
“You’re just too headstrong.
“If you don’t mind me speaking, you don’t have to protect your chastity for Lord Chen. You just have to live your own life.
“If there’s a suitable person, you should take a step forward. Otherwise, you won’t even have someone to talk to when you’re old.”
“You heard what Chengrui said just now?”
“Yes, Mr. Chengrui is right. There are still many good people in the world.” Gu Ziyi hesitated for a moment. “To be honest, I’m not avoiding another marriage for that bastard. I’m mainly afraid my two children will be wronged, so 1 don’t dare to take this step.”
There was one more thing that she didn’t say out loud—once 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.
“It’s not easy to get remarried, but you can ask around and contact him.
“If he’s a good person and his family accepts you, that would be great. “Honestly, it might not be suitable for the two young ladies if you live alone. “Didn’t you notice that they didn’t play with the children in the village much? They’ve also become much quieter than before.
“This was especially so for the young miss. Other than practicing her calligraphy in the study room, she would practice needlework and rarely speak. “Also, if her family isn’t complete, it will be hard when she wants to discuss marriage in the future.”
Gu Ziyi paused, and then she shook her head. “Let me think about it. There’s no rush.”
“You should rest early, madam. I’ll go and see the two young ladies.” Aunt Mei turned around and left after that..
