Chapter 11 Living on the Streets
Ye Wanshu's eyes were indifferent and her face was terrifyingly calm. She never turned back to look at Gu Tingzhou and Gu Tingchen from beginning to end.

Not until the footsteps behind her faded away completely did Ye Wanshu pretend to look at Ye Huaisu with great grievance.

"Oh, Auntie, Wanwan has already made such a concession, but my two cousins ​​still refuse to accept me. What should I do?"

Ye Huaisu felt nauseous when hearing the coquettish voice.

Seeing that Gu An's face had become terrifyingly gloomy, Ye Huaisu said unhappily, "Wanwan, who taught you to talk to people like that? Put it away quickly. You don't act like a girl at all."

"Yes." Ye Wanshu lowered her eyebrows and smiled, her smile bright and flamboyant.

For some reason, she felt a sense of complete satisfaction in her heart at this moment.

Ye Huaisu also realized that the girl did it on purpose, but the couple had heard what their niece had just said. Although they might not have been sincere, they did make concessions and had no reason to argue.

Glancing helplessly at his niece, Ye Huaisu could only signal, "Go back and rest quickly."

"Okay." Ye Wanshu lifted her skirt and ran away.

"Wait." Gu An was really nervous at the moment.

If it wasn't for the purpose of winning over Wanwan's bastard father, it wouldn't matter whether this marriage took place or not. But old man Ji Yuan held a very important position in the court, and his only weakness had to be seized at all costs.

He always believed that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, and Ji Yuan could only rely on his eldest daughter.

Gu An quickly walked up to Ye Wanshu and said in a deep voice, "Wanwan, I know you've been wronged by what happened today, but you must trust me. I will definitely convince those two evildoers to apologize to you and your father."

Ye Wanshu curled her lips and said, "Of course I trust Uncle. Uncle won't let Wanwan down."

But she believes that the following dramas will only get more exciting.

Seeing that her uncle didn't say anything else, Ye Wanshu bowed and quickly ran away.

Looking at her disappearing figure, Gu An frowned deeply: "Madam, why do I feel that there is something wrong with Wanwan's behavior these past two days?"

Ye Huaisu, however, looked confident: "Master, you are worrying too much. Wanwan's everything is in my hands now. She knows how to deal with the current situation. Otherwise, if she leaves the Duke's Mansion, she will have to consider how to live in the future."

Gu An thought for a moment and nodded, immediately agreeing with his wife's statement. However, he was still a little worried: "Wanwan's personality is like her mother-in-law and her mother. She is very arrogant. Before she gets married, she must be frugal with her food, clothing and other expenses."

Ye Huaisu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I know what I'm doing."

The girl was penniless now and lived a tight life relying on the two thousand taels of silver she gave her every month. She didn't dare to have any bad thoughts.

Gu An did not question it again. He just sighed slightly and helped Ye Huaisu into the house while saying, "I hope those two rebellious sons can soon come to their senses and return to the right path."

Ye Wanshu returned to Cuiweitang, and Chunhong hurriedly made a cup of tea and said, "Miss, calm down first. Don't let the young master and the second young master get you hurt. It's not worth it."

Ye Wanshu took a few sips of tea from her cup. Seeing the anxious faces of the two girls, she finally realized, "Chunhong, Xingtao, why do you always look so worried? I'm really worried about you."

Chunhong and Xingtao looked at each other. Xingtao thought about it carefully and it seemed that the girl really didn't take the matter of the two young masters to heart.

"Miss, I'm not really greedy for the wealth of the Duke's Mansion. As long as you're happy, I'll follow you wherever you go."

Xing Tao said sincerely, "Although I don't understand why the young master and the second young master have become like this, I do know that the young lady was raised by the old lady and she is not someone who relies on men for support. Even if she leaves the Duke's Mansion, she can still live a carefree and carefree life."

"Good Xingtao, you finally hit the point."

Ye Wanshu was overjoyed and pulled the two of them to sit next to her. "So, from now on, don't worry about those two anymore. We just need to think about how to live our own lives comfortably." Chunhong nodded repeatedly and asked anxiously, "Miss, what should we do next?"

"One word, wait."

Ye Wanshu slowly raised her eyes, looked out the window, and smiled.

The two brothers left the house in high spirits. The early spring night was not pleasant, and they were probably freezing to death.

……

It was a dark night, and the empty streets of Nanhua were deserted.

Jiang Yueling used her frail body to support the ragged Gu Tingzhou as they walked in front. The cold wind blew into the alley, and the two of them shivered with cold.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Gu Tingchen, who was walking absentmindedly with his head lowered. Gu Tingzhou complained, "Tingchen, isn't it a bit hasty for us to leave the house so hastily?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but shiver and sneeze.

Gu Tingchen rubbed his hands and took a breath of cold air: "So, big brother wants to go back and marry that scheming woman?"

"No way, I never want to see her again in my life."

Gu Tingzhou frowned, "But the matter of granted marriage is no joke. Dragging it on like this is not a solution."

"Brother, didn't you see her smug look just now?"

Gu Tingchen curled his lips and sneered, "She has clearly already considered herself the mistress of the Duke's Mansion. She has even started to use Qiao Baikuan to take a concubine for her eldest brother. She pretends to be so virtuous and generous. I'm afraid that even if she meets my aunt, she will have to praise her for being sensible."

"It seems that Wanwan is willing to do anything to stay in our Duke's Mansion. I only regret that I didn't discover her shamelessness earlier." Gu Tingzhou clenched his fists in anger.

"At this point, you don't have to blame yourself, brother."

Gu Tingchen advised, "The most urgent thing is to find a place to stay first. We two brothers can talk it over easily. Yueling is a girl after all, and we can't let her suffer from hunger and cold with you."

"I'm fine." Jiang Yueling said softly, "As long as I can follow the young master and the second young master, I'm willing to sleep in the open air."

"It has to be Yue Ling. She is beautiful both inside and out, and is a thousand times better than Wan Wan." Gu Tingchen now likes her more and more.

Looking at her thin clothes, Gu Tingchen's face showed his distress. He quickly advised, "Go to my aunt's house and stay overnight. If you want to force your brother to cancel the marriage with Wanwan in front of my aunt, then my uncle will have to intervene."

Hearing him say this, Gu Tingzhou's thoughts suddenly became clear: "I forgot that my uncle guards the northern defense for the court and commands an army of 300,000. He loves us brothers the most. If he asks my aunt to break off the engagement, my aunt will definitely not dare to say anything."

Jiang Yueling was delighted when she heard this, and she immediately gained a lot of strength to support Gu Tingzhou: "Then the Second Young Master and I will help the Crown Prince go over quickly. The Crown Prince's injuries cannot be delayed."

As if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, the three of them walked through the cold wind for a long time and finally arrived at the Wuping Marquis Mansion. When they learned that they were the two stubborn monkeys from their deceased sister's family, the Marquis's wife, Mrs. Chang, hurriedly brought people to drive them out.

After hearing about the brothers' plight and seeing their miserable appearance, Chang felt distressed. "Your father is too cruel. The girl from the Ye family hasn't even married yet, but he beat Tingzhou like this just for her. It's true that if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather."

He quickly ordered someone to get some medicine and prepare a midnight snack.

After entering the guest hall and offering everyone a seat and tea, Chang said in an extremely firm tone, "Don't worry, even if it means risking offending the Empress Dowager, your aunt will cancel this marriage for you."

But after saying this, his eyes couldn't help but look at the girl brought in by the two brothers.
