The two of them were also looking at her. Only (Consort) Mrs. Wu didn’t seem to hear her, her face brimming with happiness.

Gu Qingli cleared her throat and looked at the others. “Father, mother, Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang, we’ve already broken off our ties with grandfather and grandmother. Second Grandpa has also helped us with the State.”

“What?” Mrs. Wu finally came to her senses. She looked at Gu Qingli with wide eyes, then at second brother Gu.

Seeing her panic-stricken eyes, the others were frightened.

With their parents around, cutting off ties with them could be said to be a tremendous unfilial act. Were they unfilial? Why was their relationship cut off?

Second brother Gu wasn’t surprised at all. He looked at Gu Qingli with his lips pursed, waiting for her to tell him the reason.

The two of them lowered their heads in silence.

Gu Qingli dropped another bomb. “Mother, it’s true. Please don’t count on them anymore. Father isn’t a child of the Gu family. He was adopted.”

“What?” Madam Wu was stunned again.

Even second brother Gu looked at Gu Qingli. His lips moved, but he didn’t ask.

Gu Qingli nodded at him and told him what had happened that day, including the house they bought and how Gu Changan had helped them repair it.

“So,” Second brother Gu seemed to have understood. There was no pain or sadness on his face, neither joy nor sorrow.

Only Mrs. Wu started crying again.

After a long while, second brother Gu, oh no, Gu Dalin, patted the sobbing Mrs. Wu and said, “Don’t cry. This is good. I’ll take care of our family in the future.”

Then, he sighed and said to Gu Qingli apologetically, “Li ‘er is getting married tomorrow. Father hasn’t even indeed raised you for a day. Also, where did you guys get the money to buy a house? ”

Gu Qingli smiled and said, “You’ve raised me before. You’re the one who grew the food I ate. The money we used to buy the house was the money we earned from selling herbs.”

The two also nodded at Gu Dalin.

Gu Dalin sighed and lowered his head sadly.

The two sensible people held his hands and comforted him silently.

Gu Dalin touched their heads with the other hand. He finally understood Gu Qingli’s meaning when she said he had sons.

When he was about to die, the one who saved him was the adopted daughter he didn’t like and the sons who were inferior to others.

And this woman who only knows how to cry.

Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and held Gu Qingli’s hand. “Li ‘er, where are you getting married tomorrow?”

Their family had been driven out, and they didn’t even have a place to get married here.

Thinking of her poor Li ‘er, Mrs. Wu cried even more sadly.

Even Dr. Shen, standing outside, could not help but sigh.

Gu Qingli patted the weak and indecisive nanny. How did her mother like her back then?

Just this crying personality.

She said, “Mother, I’m only getting married because I’ve moved to a new place. Don’t worry. This is a simple matter.

“Sister.” The two of them held onto her as they cried.

“Don’t cry; we should be happy that sister is getting married!” Gu Qingli sighed in her heart. She also wanted to get married grandly, but with the reputation of the host, getting married grandly would only make people laugh.

Moreover, second brother Gu was still in bed, and their family had been driven out.

She didn’t need to get married now. She had broken off ties with old Gu’s family, and Madam Hua couldn’t force her.

But the marriage contract had already been signed, and it was not okay to call off the engagement. In the future, her and Xiao Yunjing’s reputations will be ruined.

If the children of the two families wanted to be officials, they should do less of such things that would damage their reputation.

Moreover, the Xiao family’s house was close to her new house, so it didn’t hinder her from taking care of her own family.

After talking to Gu Dalin and Mrs. Wu about the wedding tomorrow, Gu Qingli returned to the inn with the two.

In the inn, Gu Qingli took a shower in her interspace and lay on the bed. She was going to get married the next day. In the modern world, she fantasized about what kind of man she would find and what type of wedding she would have.

Hehe, she had achieved her dream in just half a month.

But this wedding was unique.

Ai! Since she couldn’t stay out of this, she would marry him. As for what would happen in the future, she would think about it the future.

Gu Qingli chuckled at the thought of Xiao Yunjing.

The next day, Gu Qingli went to the village with the twins as usual.

On the way, they met Xiao Yunjing.

“You won’t come to pick me up this early, will you?”

Xiao Yunjing almost knelt in front of Gu Qingli. Which bride would go up the mountain early in the morning and ask him directly?

“No, I’m here to ask you where to send the wedding dress. Where should I pick you up?” Xiao Yunjing’s tongue felt like it was stuck.

“Wedding dress?” Gu Qingli was surprised that this man was making her wedding clothes.

She chuckled in her heart. She wouldn’t be touched. The moment she met his eyes, she was reminded of the guilty look in his eyes when they first met. Even if she didn’t see him again after that, she was sure that this man dog was not pure towards her.

Little brat, let’s see how I’ll deal with you in the future!

“Yes,” Xiao Yunjing nodded. “I’ve already made a reservation.”

“Oh, you can come down the mountain to pick me up at noon.” She turned around and left without even looking at Xiao Yunjing’s shocked expression.

“Just like this?” This was the first time Xiao Yunjing had encountered such a thing, and it had happened to him.

Xiao Yunjing went back in a daze.

When Gu Qingli and her brothers arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain, four women were already waiting for them. Each of them was carrying a large basket and a hoe, looking at the two of them with a smile.

“First aunt, second aunt, third aunt, and fourth aunt.” The three siblings greeted them politely.

The four women nodded and walked over.

“Is Xiao Li still going up the mountain today?”

Gu Qingli looked into Mrs. Qiao’s eyes. She showed concern instead of mockery. She smiled and nodded. “It’s still early; it’s good to dig more.”

Mrs. Qiao said: “You child, you don’t care about this half a day. Come, Xiao Li, let’s talk before going up the mountain.”

Gu Qingli knew what they were going to say. She waved her hand and said, “First aunt, second aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, Xiao Li knows what you want to say. I have my arrangements. Let’s quickly go up the mountain. We don’t have many days to dig.”

“What’s this?” Mrs. Qiao was a bit hesitant; she looked at the three sisters-in-law.

The second aunt, Mrs. Fang, said, “Sister-in-law, since Xiao Li has said so, let’s do as Xiao Li says. We have a long way to go.”

Third aunt Mrs. Liu chimed in. “Eldest sister-in-law, listen to second sister-in-law. Xiao Li’s current situation is indeed a bit aggrieved. It’s good that her in-law’s family is in the village. We can watch over her.”

The fourth aunt, Mrs. Gao, was a gentle person. She said warmly, “Sister-in-law, it won’t be so difficult when Xiao Li holds her child’s one-month birthday party in the future.”

She patted Mrs. Qiao’s hand, then Gu Qingli’s.

Gu Qingli didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Even she, the main character, didn’t have to worry about anything today, but she, the eldest aunt, looked like she had eaten a yellow lotus.
