Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Republic of China’s Gentlewoman Discarded Wife vs. the Affectionate Actor (41)

Many people in Cloud City paid close attention to the newlyweds, Gu Shengyin and Huangfu Qi.

Soon, Gu Shengyin’s background was exposed by some meticulous individuals.

The Young Marshal’s bride was actually a divorced woman.

Many were immediately dumbfounded.

Even some who secretly disliked the Huangfu Family paid some writers to splash mud relentlessly at the family in the newspapers.

The general idea was that the Grand Marshal’s Mansion had really lost face by accepting such a daughter-in-law.

More people were watching Gu Shengyin’s disgrace.

Or rather, they were waiting for the Huangfu Family’s response.

The Huangfu Family did not disappoint them.

The day after the news spread, Marshal Huangfu issued a statement in the newspapers, declaring that he and Madam were very satisfied with Yan Ruohua as their daughter-in-law. As for her past, it was a new era now, so why dwell on the past?

If anyone maliciously smeared the reputation of the Huangfu Family, he would not tolerate it.

Huangfu Qi also issued a statement, much more bluntly than his father, "Whoever dares speak ill of my wife, I will make sure they can’t speak at all!"

These rumors were swiftly and forcefully suppressed by the Huangfu Family with thunderous might.

Gu Shengyin also issued a statement, officially announcing her identity as Lin Jianke.

With her background, she told all women that a woman does not need to live under the oppression of some men; she alone could live freely and might even find true happiness.

Disdained by her former husband, she resolutely divorced and later, relying on herself, became one of the owners of a cloth business, and finally, with her excellence, attracted the Young Marshal and became his wife.

This woman’s journey was legendary in itself.

Many women drew strength from her story.

Historians in later generations analyzed that Cloud City has always been one of the cities where the women’s movement in the Republic flourished the most, and a significant part of this was due to the contribution of the Young Marshal’s Wife.

When Cloud City entered the snowy season, joyous news emerged from the Grand Marshal’s Mansion: The Young Marshal’s Wife was pregnant.

This news thrilled Madam Grand Marshal to no end.

Worried that Gu Shengyin might be bored, she even invited Lady Zhao to stay for a while, accompanying her daughter daily.

Lady Zhao no longer lived in that rented courtyard.

Gu Shengyin had bought her a Western-style building not far from the Grand Marshal’s Mansion, where she could visit her daughter whenever she wished.

In September of the following year, Gu Shengyin gave birth to a chubby boy.

Overjoyed, the Grand Marshal held a banquet outside the Grand Marshal’s Mansion for three consecutive days.

By then, the weather had already become a bit chilly.

Huangfu Qi entered the room.

Gu Shengyin had not yet left her confinement, and the child had been taken out by Madam Grand Marshal.

The maid in the room tactfully left.

Huangfu Qi sat by the bed, looking at his wife, who seemed in good spirits.

"Are you tired?" he asked.

Gu Shengyin shook her head, "How could I be tired just lying here all day?"

"I feel like you don’t quite like Yuanyuan," Gu Shengyin said, somewhat puzzled. Yuanyuan was the child’s milk name.

In recent days, this man had rarely held his son, and his face showed little joy whenever he saw the boy.

Huangfu Qi did not respond but simply said, "Can we not have any more children in the future, just one is enough."

Gu Shengyin was not insistent on this and softly said, "Let’s leave it to fate."

Huangfu Qi gently rested his head on his wife’s chest.

He recalled the day Ruohua gave birth, the buckets of blood that were carried out, and the heart-wrenching screams from the room.

Such an experience was enough to endure once.

He felt heartache.
