Chapter 397 This Nephew Is Not Simple

"Don't you want to be a wife of the Gu family anymore?"

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she was about to die. She was determined to control the life of her eldest daughter-in-law.

Did she think that the man couldn't divorce her after he died?

Just dream.

By opening the ancestral hall and with the witness of all the clan members, the two elders could still divorce this crazy woman on behalf of their son in the underworld.

Tong Huaqiong said to Old Lady Gu, "Old Lady, do you want to divorce me? You don't have to do it. I can ask to go on my own initiative."

Old Lady Gu pounded the bed and cursed, "I was wondering who you were dressing up like this for. It turns out you're thinking about men. My son hasn't been dead for three years yet, and you're already wearing all kinds of red and green, putting on makeup and asking for things. How could I be so foolish as to let you, a jinx, come to my house?"

Old Mrs. Gu started crying for her eldest son again.

At this time, Gu Youtian came out to smooth things over.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by asking to leave? Do you know that a widow has only one way to leave her husband's family, and if you marry again at your age, how can you save face for Dashu Jingzhe? Just now, mother and you were just talking to each other, and neither of you can take what you said seriously."

If Tong Huaqiong really left the Gu family with her group of kids, Gu Youtian’s plan would be completely ruined.

Gu Youtian then said to Mrs. Gu: "It's not easy for your sister-in-law to support the family after your elder brother left. As a mother-in-law, you have to understand her."

Tong Huaqiong looked at everything in front of her coldly.

Gu Youtian can actually speak human language.

I still have something to ask of her.

"Thank you for your understanding, second brother. The two elders must be sad when they think of your eldest brother when he just came back. I have too many things to do and can't take care of him. You and your sister-in-law should comfort him." Tong Huaqiong didn't even look at Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, she stood up and instructed Gu Youtian.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's go back first."

"Grandma, don't be too sad. If you are sad, you will hurt your body. Dad will be sad too if he knows."

Gu Jingzhe comforted Old Lady Gu on behalf of the eldest son of the family.

Tong Huaqiong went back with a group of people.

Old Master Gu was so angry that his heart tightened. He hadn't even had the chance to suggest to Tong Huaqiong that Honglian live with her, but why did she leave?

Jia and Gu Ruinian sent Tong Huaqiong and others to the door.

"Sister-in-law, is this child the one from Dahan's family?" Jia suddenly tried to pull Xiaolong's hand at the door.

Xiaolong snorted and refused to be pulled, then ran to Chen Sufen.

Jia looked Chen Sufen up and down and said, "You two have a good relationship."

Chen Sufen was not stupid. She knew that her second aunt would often play tricks on people in the name of concern, so she held her belly and said, "Xiaolong is a sensible child."

Jia sneered secretly, Chen Sufen was really a good person.

After sending them to the door, Jia went back. Gu Ruinian held the lantern and sent Tong Huaqiong and others home.

Gu Ruinian is quite close to Gu Jingzhe.

Gu Ruinian said to Gu Jingzhe: "Brother Jingzhe, I heard that you are the best at studying. Can I ask you some questions?"

Gu Jingzhe was rather distant and declined politely, "It's late today and I went to bed early."

Gu Ruinian said without giving up: "It doesn't have to be today. I can ask my brother for help with my homework in the future. I was young before and didn't know that my brother was good at studying. I missed many opportunities to ask for advice."

Gu Jingzhe said, "Your academic performance is not bad. You got the title of Tongsheng on your first examination after learning so late. Why do you need to ask me for advice?"

Gu Jingzhe really thought that Gu Ruinian was extremely smart to get the title of Tongsheng given his early education. He secretly told himself that he didn't need to look at the whole court, he could just look at his own family and find that there was a cousin who was even more capable than him.

In the past, Gu Jingzhe would definitely be unconvinced and feel frustrated. However, after a year of training by Tong Huaqiong, Gu Jingzhe was able to face up to people who were better than himself, and secretly vowed to work harder and not let the second wife overshadow his mother.

"I was lucky enough to pass the exam. Brother Jingzhe, the clan leader said the other day that only you and I are scholars in our clan, and we must strive to make our clan proud. I plan to report to the private school in town in a while, review well, and go to the provincial capital with you in March to take the provincial examination. I hope both of us can pass the exam and become a scholar."

Gu Ruinian said this, but in his heart he was full of contempt for Gu Jingzhe and all the private school students.

How can you ancient people who only know the classics, history, and literature compare with him, a top student from a modern 985 university?

The reason why he approached Gu Jingzhe was that his family was short of money and he couldn't afford the books he wanted. If he got along well with Gu Jingzhe, he could read Gu Jingzhe's books. After all, he would take part in the provincial examination next month. Secondly, he felt that this cousin was the smartest person in the family after him. He wanted to use him for his own benefit. If he wanted to marry and become a prime minister and stir up the world, he had to win over a few capable younger brothers.

Also, he always felt that Auntie's thoughts were beyond this era. He wanted to have more contact with Dafang to find out whether Auntie, like him, was from the modern society of the future, or was a native of this world.

"Ruinian."

Gu Ruinian was thinking about something, and it was only after Gu Jingzhe called him several times that he reacted.

"Brother Jingzhe, is there anything I can help you with?" Under the moonlight, Gu Ruinian revealed an impeccable smile.

Gu Jingzhe pointed to the front door and said, "We are home now. It is getting late so we won't keep you here. Go back and rest."

Gu Ruinian originally wanted to follow Gu Jingzhe in for a night chat or something, but when they reached the door, Gu Jingzhe chased him away.

He was unhappy in his heart but his face was calm.

Gu Ruinian stretched his neck to look inside and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to ask you for advice on my homework."

Then he said goodbye to Tong Huaqiong, Gu Dahan and others one by one, and his etiquette was impeccable.

Tong Huaqiong looked at Gu Ruinian's figure in the moonlight, thoughtfully.

In Tong Dajiao's memory, Gu Ruinian was an insignificant cannon fodder who had been naughty since childhood and had no great prospects.

Now he can compete with Gu Jingzhe.

In Tong Huaqiong's opinion, it was incredible that a young man suddenly became enlightened and studied hard, and passed the examination to become a student in less than two years.

Is it so easy to pass the test to become a Tongsheng?

But she never underestimates the knowledge of this era.

Could it be that Gu Ruinian was also reborn or came from the same hometown as her?

"Ruinian has changed a lot now. I never realized he was still a bookworm."

After entering the upper room, Tong Huaqiong sighed.

The tone was exactly like Tong Da Jiao's style, revealing a bit of contempt and disdain in disbelief.

Liu Yue'e continued, "I've been wanting to say this for a long time. If someone like Ruinian could pass the exam, I would have asked Dashu to take it as well. I'm not saying that Ruinian is not as good as Dashu."

Gu Taohua chuckled and said, "In order to compete with mother, Second Aunt made Brother Fengnian and Ruinian learn to read and write. One was as dumb as a stick, and the other sat at the desk like a maggot for less than an incense stick of time. Was it so easy to pass the exam? Master Su said that even those who are naturally smart need to practice hard in winter and summer for many years. And Brother Zhaoyang from the Lu family, Zhao Zhao said that he also studied hard from childhood to adulthood. I even suspect that Ruinian was able to pass the exam because he found someone to take the exam for him or bribed the examiner."

Gu Jingzhe said calmly: "There are many uncontrollable factors in the examination room, and we can't conclude that Rui Nian will fail."

He was also puzzled by Gu Ruinian's change.
