Chapter 189 Heli Shu
Mu Sinian didn't answer. He glared at the brother and sister, snorted coldly, and entered the mansion.
The vermilion door slowly closed, and the people outside who were watching the excitement, some shook their sleeves and walked away, while others even stood on tiptoe to take a look.
In the main hall, Mu Sinian, as the host, sat at the top.
The Gu family sat according to their age.
Xu Lin and Mu Qingyan stood behind the old general and the old lady respectively.
What they were going to discuss today concerned their reputation and life, so the servants were all waiting outside and no one followed them in.
At this moment, as guests, the Gu family had not been served even a cup of hot tea since they entered the mansion.
They didn't come here to drink tea. So, no one cared. They just wanted to achieve their goal quickly so that they could leave. They didn't want to stay in the Duke's Mansion for a moment.
Mu Sinian felt that the two families had already torn their faces apart. Since Gu Qingqi passed away, the two families had no contact in private. Today, he was too lazy to pretend to be a good son-in-law. He asked directly, "I wonder what the old general has brought such a large family here today. What are you doing?"
The three brothers of the Gu family all revealed expressions of contempt at the same time. Just now, outside the mansion, in front of so many people, they were still pretending to call their father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now they were unwilling to even go through the motions and directly called them General Gu!
Old General Gu was not annoyed. The ancestors of the Gu and Mu families were old friends. Both families were military generals, and they helped each other to achieve their future success. If it were not for their deep friendship, they would not have married their children to each other.
When Musnian was young, he was a kind-hearted and handsome young man. He never thought that he would become like that later on.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have carried out the engagement and thus ended up making a huge mistake.
"Our two families were originally old friends. But now our friendship has run its course. My daughter has passed away for many years, and you have no affection for her anymore. It would be better if you write a letter of divorce, and our two families will no longer have any contact with each other in the future."
Mu Sinian thought they were here to settle accounts, but he didn't expect they wanted a divorce letter.
He showed his disdain, "He's been dead for nearly twenty years. What's the point of getting back together or not?"
The three brothers of the Gu family were very emotional when they saw how he took it lightly. However, their goal had not been achieved yet, so they could not act impulsively.
My main purpose today is to pick up my sister and take her home, not to cause trouble.
General Gu looked at him calmly, "You are a person who is discarded like a piece of trash, and naturally someone will treasure you. I know my daughter best. She would not want a husband who schemed against her with dirty and despicable means to be buried with her a hundred years later, dirtying her reincarnation path..."
General Gu spoke slowly, but each word he said weighed a thousand pounds, hammering at his heart.
It made him breathless.
"If you are unwilling to divorce today, tomorrow I will ask His Majesty for an order. Even if I have to use up all my merits in the Gu family, I will still ask for a divorce. If she knew that you had schemed against her and made her miserable all her life, and that you had allowed others to kill her when she was at her most vulnerable, she would never want to continue to bear your surname and be your legitimate wife!"
Although Mu Sinian is a heartless person, he still has true feelings for Gu Qingqun.
Back then, he even thought about drugging her and clearing her name himself, and then finding someone else to take the blame afterwards...
But for the sake of his own status and to make things more secure, he still devised a plan to let someone else come.
But by some strange coincidence, she got married!
Gu Qingqi said it herself that she didn't blame that person!
Even after she found out that she was pregnant with that man's child, she was filled with joy!
So when facing his verbal humiliation, she was very frank and without any shame!
He had caused all this with his own hands, but he still hated Gu Qingchen, hated her for being fickle, indecisive, and unfaithful to her husband! When they were young, they were so well matched!
Why did everything change when he came back from the battle?
The way she looked at him no longer had the same admiration and attachment as before. Even when he mentioned marriage, she still hesitated and said let it go and let him find another good match!
So, when Mu Qingyan asked for a divorce letter before, he refused! He wanted him to die and become a ghost, but he had to use his surname! He had to occupy his original wife's identity!
In this way, they will be buried together after death and their souls can still meet!
He would never allow Gu Qingqi to break up with him and live with someone else! He would never allow it!
But today, Gu Yunhe came to his house in person and asked for a divorce letter, so he had no way out!
Given the love that the Gu family has for Gu Qingqi, they will definitely continue to keep the secret for him after they get the divorce letter! Because no matter what, it is a fact that Gu Qingqi has lost his chastity! Even if he is the instigator, as long as he denies it, who can produce any evidence?
As a husband, he not only tolerated the fact that his wife was unfaithful, but was also generous enough to help raise other people's children. If the people knew about this, they would probably only praise him and not slander him!
The Gu family prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
It was right in front of him right now.
In this main hall are generals who are experienced in battle.
As soon as he entered the room, he felt the hostility and oppression from the Gu family.
If he dared to say no at this moment, these former brothers-in-law would probably use their fists to discuss with him. The Gu family has never been easy to deal with.
He did not dare to show his cowardice, and quickly wrote the divorce letter, signed it with his own private seal, and pressed his red handprint on it.
Gu Qingsu stepped forward to take it, carefully blew dry the ink, and folded it.
"Take us to the ancestral hall. Since they have divorced, her tablet should naturally be returned to the Gu family for worship. She dare not accept the incense from your Mu family anymore! We will also choose an auspicious day to move her remains out of your Mu family's ancestral tomb. Your Mu family's ancestral tomb should be used by yourselves! From now on, the Gu and Mu families will have nothing to do with each other in life, death and sickness!"
Mu Sinian suddenly looked at Mu Qingyan angrily, "What about her? Her daughter is still claiming to be the eldest daughter of my Mu family! Is she going to stay here longer?"
Before the Gu family members could say anything, Mu Qingyan said, "Don't worry, I don't even want to stay in this shabby place of yours. From now on, I will never set foot in your Fuguo Mansion again."
Mu Sinian snorted coldly, "Okay! Then don't interfere in my family affairs anymore!"
Mu Qingyan sneered in response, "If your house collapses, what does it have to do with me?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, let's go, I'll take you to the ancestral hall..."
Xulin supported the old general, and the three sons and three daughters-in-law of the Gu family followed slowly behind him.
The ancestral hall is located in a courtyard in the northwest corner of the Duke's house. It is not remote, but because the ancestral tablets are enshrined there all year round, apart from a servant who comes in to sweep the place every day, basically no one comes, so it looks a bit desolate and gloomy.
