Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 130 I can’t help you

After walking for two days on the road and arriving in Cang County, Cai Ling stopped following.

"Miss Shen, I have some things to go back and take care of. I will visit you in the academy when I am free."

In fact, he wasn't really in trouble.

However, they had already arrived in Cang County. If he followed her to Lai'an Town, he was afraid that it would cause some gossip about Shen Nankui and damage her reputation, so he found an excuse to leave first.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Cai for escorting me all the way. We'll see you another day."

After the two separated, Shen Nankui returned to Gu's house first.

When Gu's mother saw her, her face became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and she started scolding her.

"Why did you come back? You've been gone for a month and there's no news from you. Go around the streets and ask which daughter-in-law dares to be as presumptuous as you?"

"Your legs are on your body. It would be fine if you just left, but you even attracted some bad people to come here. They guard the door all day long, not letting us go or do anything. They are all ferocious and look like bandits in the mountains. Do you want to kill us?"

Mother Gu kept cursing and complaining.

Liang was also at home, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, my second brother has already written to explain that those people are not your maternal family at all. They have nothing to do with your second sister-in-law. Even your second sister-in-law herself was deceived and went to the capital. Why are you blaming her for this?"

After saying that, Liang pulled Shen Nankui and looked her up and down.

Then he sighed and said, "Second brother and sister-in-law, I'm so glad you're okay. It's a pity that we were deceived and actually thought you went back to your mother's home. It wasn't until my second brother wrote to me that I knew you had experienced such a thrilling thing. Fortunately, you and my second brother are safe!"

Mother Gu spat, "You are always causing trouble for our family. If you implicate my Yichuan, I will never forgive you..."

Shen Nankui frowned, and when Mrs. Liu saw this, she hurriedly helped Mrs. Gu to go somewhere else.

Liang pulled Shen Nankui to sit down and asked with a smile: "I heard that my second brother was appointed as a sixth-rank official in Beijing. When mother and your eldest brother found out, they were so happy that I couldn't sleep for two days. Second brother's wife, our Gu family finally has hope in the future. You have also made it through the hard times. Now you have become a real top scholar's wife and a wife of an official. This title sounds very impressive!"

She had a beaming look on her face and kept talking while holding onto Shen Nankui.

Shen Nankui did not interrupt her, and waited until she finished speaking before asking, "Sister-in-law, what did Gu Yichuan tell you about this matter?"

Liang didn't notice the change in her address and replied, "My second brother said in the letter that these things happened because a princess wanted to persecute you, but he said that the problem has been solved and no one will harm the Gu family in the future."

"He didn't mention what happened between him and me?"

"What's the matter?" Liang asked puzzledly.

Shen Nankui found it a little ridiculous. Did he think that he could cover up the truth by not telling it?

After a moment of silence, she spoke, "I had a miscarriage, and I have divorced him."

"what!"

Liang was so shocked that she stood up and was speechless for a long time.

"Miscarriage? And divorce? What's going on? Why did it happen like this? My second brother didn't mention any of this in his letter!"

Gu Yichuan's letter only reported that he was safe, and gave only a few brief explanations about other matters.

He said that everything had been resolved, so she really thought that it was just a close call, but she didn't expect that these things would happen?

Liang's mind was in a mess, and her voice was trembling, "Second brother's wife...what exactly is going on?"

Mother Gu also jumped over and howled, "Miscarriage? Does that mean my youngest grandson is gone?"

"How can you be so useless that you can't even protect a child? This must be the reason why Chuan'er divorced you!"

Liang was upset when she heard this, and seeing a flash of pain in Shen Nankui's eyes, she quickly scolded, "Mother, be quiet and listen to what my second brother and sister-in-law have to say!"

She had never talked back to Mother Gu before, but this rebuke made Mother Gu freeze in place, too stunned to speak.

Shen Nankui glanced at Gu's mother and said coldly, "The child is gone, but you can't blame me. It was Gu Yichuan who personally fed me the abortion drug."

Liang couldn't believe her ears.

"How could my second brother do such a thing?"

She was full of disbelief, holding Shen Nankui's hand tightly and asked, "Is it that princess who forced Yichuan to do this? Why did she want to hurt you like this?"

After such a long time, Shen Nankui's voice was calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"Princess Yongjia fell in love with Gu Yichuan and forced him to divorce his wife and marry another. When we refused, she threatened to kill Ayuan and Aqiao, forcing Gu Yichuan to choose between them and my unborn child."

Liang suddenly realized that her two children had faced death threats, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. While she was feeling relieved, she was overwhelmed with remorse. She moved her lips several times before she could barely make a sound.

"So, the baby in your belly is gone because of Ayuan and Aqiao. Your second brother..."

She wanted to say that what he did was unfair, but she couldn't say it out loud. After all, her second brother gave up his own flesh and blood in order to save her two children.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, I am sorry for you!"

Liang suddenly knelt down in front of Shen Nankui and kowtowed with tears in her eyes.

Shen Nankui pulled her up, shook his head and said, "I don't blame him for making such a choice. Ayuan and Aqiao are innocent, and I am their teacher. If it were me, I would also protect them first."

Liang gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "It's all the fault of that princess!"

Then, with a look of confusion on her face, she asked carefully, "Second brother's wife, since you don't blame my second brother, then how did you end up getting divorced?"

Shen Nankui was silent for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law, you just heard about this incident and you know that Princess Yongjia is the culprit who killed my unborn child, right?"

"That's right!"

Hatred was revealed in Liang's eyes. "As a princess, can you do whatever you want? My second brother is now an official, so he should report her to His Majesty!"

Shen Nankui sighed softly, "Yes, even though he knew she was our enemy, Gu Yichuan still joined King Jing's army."

Seeing that Liang didn't seem to understand, she explained, "Prince Jing is the father of Princess Yongjia, and he was the one who recommended Gu Yichuan for his current position."

Now, Liang understood, and she was so shocked that she didn't even bother to wipe away her tears.

"So... Second Brother turned against his enemy just for the sake of his position?"

Shen Nankui nodded, "So, I couldn't forgive him, so I divorced him. When I came back today, I just took my things away."
