Gu Jingzhi suspected that Prince Xian might start a rebellion in the near future. The reason why he asked his second aunt like this was because sister Jinghui had always been weak and had a hard time in exile. He hoped that the mother and daughter could use this reason to leave first.
The second lady couldn't believe her ears and said in surprise: "Jingzhi, the second aunt knows that Jing Hui and Li returned home and brought shame on our Hou family. Please remember that after the second aunt married into the Gu family for 20 years, she has no merit." For the sake of hard work, I am allowed to practice in the family temple and chant sutras and pray for the Gu family. I just ask you not to divorce me."
Gu Jingzhi bowed deeply to the second lady, "Second aunt, please believe me, this is just a temporary measure. You can hold the divorce letter for now. In two years' time, Jingzhi is willing to kneel down in person to welcome the second aunt to look back home."
The Cai family married into the Gu family twenty years ago. Her husband died in the war when she was seven months pregnant. Due to extreme grief, the fetus was moved, and she gave birth to her daughter Jinghui in less than eight months. Jinghui's body was weak because of the lack of fetus. She keeps integrity for her husband and fulfills her filial piety for him, which is both meritorious and hard work.
When the old marquis heard that Gu Jingzhi actually asked him to divorce his wife for his second son who died, he looked in disbelief, "Jingzhi, that means you have a vicious mind. It's not impossible for your sister Jinghui and Li Guijia to divorce. How can you divorce her?" In exchange for leaving your second aunt?"
"Grandpa, the building is about to collapse, and my Zhongyong Hou Mansion is about to suffer a disaster. Sister Jinghui's body cannot withstand many hardships. I am doing it for their own good. You must believe in your grandson's decision." Gu Jingzhi said sincerely.
Cai didn't believe that her always kind nephew would drive her away from the Gu family for no reason. When she heard that Jing Zhi meant that the family was about to be in disaster, she said, "Jing Zhi, father, my daughter-in-law will not accept the divorce letter. She is a member of the Gu family." , Death is the fault of the Gu family."
He added: "Jinghui has enjoyed the Gu family's fine clothing and food since she was a child, but she has to go into trouble with her family. How can we, mother and daughter, leave when the family is in trouble."
Gu Jingzhi didn't want sister Jinghui to suffer the pain of exile and die, so he advised Cai: "You can't put eggs in one basket. Second aunt, you and sister Jinghui leave with the money first. When our Gu family is in trouble, we can help one or two , is it not better than suffering together?”
Caishi thought for a moment and felt that Gu Jingzhi's words made sense, "Second Aunt believes what you say, so I will accept the divorce letter first, but I need a handwritten letter from you stating that I am allowed to return to the Gu family in two years."
Seeing that Gu Jingzhi wanted to open his mouth to persuade her, he hurriedly said: "If you don't agree, Jinghui will not be reconciled. Let her fend for herself in the Cai family!"
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. At this time, Caiwei was in Tingxue Pavilion to receive Dr. Zhang Linggu, a fellow countryman who had traveled across the country.
The last time the two met, Zhang Linggu had just been beaten up by the Zhou family for touching the young lady of Zhou Yushi's family. His face was covered in bruises, and Caiwei didn't see his true appearance.
Now it seems that Zhang Linggu is a very talented person. Different from Gu Jingzhi's cold temperament, Zhang Linggu is full of bookishness.
Caiwei asked while having his pulse checked: "Zhang Linggu, how are you doing recently?"
Zhang Linggu took his hand off Caiwei's wrist and put away the silk handkerchief on it, "Very good. Thanks to your reminder, I have refined penicillin, improved anesthetics, and disinfectant is being developed. There are some eyebrows.”
"Oh! You are so awesome. A top student is a top student! In just a few months, penicillin and anesthetics have been developed?" Caiwei exclaimed.
Zhang Linggu shrugged nonchalantly and said: "Penicillin is easy to cultivate. Anesthetics have been around since ancient times. I just improved it a little. However, the disinfectant is a chemical preparation we all use in modern times. I tried wine and sulfur during this period, and the ratio was still good. Just adjust it and it will probably be fine soon."
He said it with great confidence, as if it was very easy. Caiwei stared at his handsome face and said, "Zhang Linggu, do you know? Can these three inventions of yours change the course of history and save many lives?"
"I know that my ancestor Zhang Zhongjing once did this. I hope that I can do something meaningful in this ancient time." Zhang Linggu said calmly.
Caiwei only cared about her own affairs and asked, "Well, what will happen to you if I don't live here anymore?"
Zhang Linggu was puzzled, "Not here? Leaving Zhongyonghou Mansion? Are your parents going to ransom you out?"
"No, I'm just asking." Caiwei couldn't explain.
"Well, if you want to redeem yourself, I will redeem it for you. If you want to go somewhere else, I will go with you." Zhang Linggu said while sorting the medicine box.
As expected, Caiwei's guess was correct. She pursed her lips and smiled, teasing him, "Did you fall in love with me at first sight and you must stay with me until life and death?"
Zhang Linggu glanced at the little girl in front of him and said bluntly: "Please take a look at yourself before you speak. You have no body and no proud beauty. You have been sold into slavery. I guess your IQ is not online. Where did you get the confidence to make me fall in love with you at first sight?"
"You...you...Zhang Linggu doesn't lead people like this. It's useless for me to think about you every day and worry that you will be burned to death by others. Is this how you see me in your heart?" Caiwei jumped up and down with anger.
Zhang Linggu continued to be upright to the end, "You are this image in my heart." He changed the subject, "But no matter what you look like, I will never dislike you. You are the only person close to me in this world. I will always be with you." We will follow you through life and death, never leave!"
Caiwei understood what he meant, and she felt the same way. The two of them traveled through modern times. Before they met, a person was like a duckweed on the water, with nothing to rely on. When they met, they knew that they were in this strange world. , there is another person who is just like me, they rely on each other in their hearts and never want to be separated. This relationship has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.
The two of them understood each other's feelings, but some were overly concerned. After Gu Jingzhi finished handling the matter, he returned to the courtyard to listen to Xuexuan and came to find Caiwei. When he arrived at the door, he happened to hear what Zhang Linggu said, "I will always be with you." You will never leave me until life and death!" He immediately became furious.
