Old Madam Gu went to Gu Changwei's courtyard.
Gu Changwei was stunned.
"Speak, what is it now?" Old Madam Gu asked.
Gu Changwei remained silent for a long time.
Old Madam Gu grew impatient.
Just as she was about to speak again, Gu Changwei said, "A Xue is going to marry Xie Chen!"
"So, you've made yourself look like this? Gu Changwei, you're something else, truly impressive!" Old Madam Gu was furious.
"Besides, A Xue has already divorced you. What's wrong with her getting married?"
"If you don't want this, if you're upset, you should have known better from the start."
Old Madam Gu's words struck Gu Changwei to the core.
Gu Changwei suddenly looked up, "Mother, A Xue always listens to you. Can you go and talk to her?"
"Gu Changwei, can you be sensible? Why did A Xue listen to me? Because she was my daughter-in-law, a good and sensible daughter-in-law. She's divorced you now, why should she still listen to me?"
"Moreover, A Xue has finally found her happiness. Why should I ask her to give up her happiness and walk into a fire pit again?"
After reprimanding Gu Changwei, Old Madam Gu called for servants to help him tidy up, finding his appearance too unsightly.
Afterward, Old Madam Gu carefully went through her dowry, selecting some very good items to give to Qin Tingxue. When she was her daughter-in-law, Qin Tingxue had suffered greatly. Now, she should compensate her. Furthermore, as A Nian's mother, with A Nian around, their relationship would not become estranged.
Moreover, Old Madam Gu was now seriously considering Gu Sinian's suggestion.
For her future well-being, should she move in with them?
With an unpromising son, she could only rely on her grandson.
As Old Madam Gu was pondering, Gu Changwei barged in. He had changed his clothes, but his hair was still dripping wet, clinging to his face like a madman.
"Mother, please, your son begs you." Gu Changwei pleaded.
Old Madam Gu truly did not understand why he was like this, as she had made everything clear.
Besides, today's fruit was the cause of the past.
After all, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
"From now on, live your life well. Since you've brought Dong Ningxin into the household, treat her well," Old Madam Gu said. "After all, she carried a child for you."
Although the child was gone, the woman was still part of the Gu family.
Gu Changwei seemed not to hear, only desperately pleading with Old Madam Gu.
"I am old and can no longer manage you," Old Madam Gu said to herself. "A Nian wants me to move in with him. After thinking about it, a child's good intentions should not be disappointed, right?"
"You, well, you'll have to fend for yourself."
He brought this upon himself; he couldn't blame others.
With that, Old Madam Gu had Gu Changwei half-dragged and half-carried out.
After some thought, she packed some more items and went to Dong Ningxin's courtyard.
In the courtyard, Old Madam Gu heard Dong Ningxin's curses. She frowned and still walked into the room.
"These are for you. Keep them. They will be useful for your life going forward."
They were mostly gold and silver jewelry. When she was short of money, she could melt them down and exchange them for cash.
"Whether you stay or go is your decision," Old Madam Gu added.
If she left, these items would be compensation from the Gu family to Dong Ningxin.
If she stayed, they would be useful in daily life.
Dong Ningxin's eyes darted around. "You want to dismiss me with just this little bit? Gu Changwei hit me and caused me to lose my child. If I were to tell people..."
