Everyday Life of Raising Kids and Striving After the Divorce

[Updates at 12:00. Thank you, dear readers, for your support.]

A scandal has recently rocked the Gu family of Pingyan City.

After ten years of marriage, Magistrate Gu brought home his maternal cousin and her two children. The older child, a six-year-old girl, was the same age as the Gu family's legitimate daughter.

Madam Gu, Lady Ye, had always been a woman of strong principles, so naturally she would not allow it.

In his study, Magistrate Gu patiently tried to reason with his six-year-old daughter, Gu Luyou. "Your father only wants to take one concubine, but your mother won't even allow that. She's being far too domineering. You're old enough to understand. Go back and persuade your mother to be more open-minded, and let Biru and her two children into the household. Tell her she can ask for whatever she wants."

Gu Luyou nodded obediently. Before long, she ran to her father with a suggestion. "Dad, Mom's saying she wants a divorce. Why don't you pretend to agree? She'll have a hard time raising me, this little burden, on her own, and she'll come back naturally."

Old Madam Gu thought it was an excellent idea. That stubborn daughter-in-law needed to learn her lesson.

With Concubine Liu whispering in her ear, Ye Jin soon took the divorce agreement and left for her parents' home that very night with her daughter and dowry. She didn't leave a single needle behind at the Gu residence.

In her previous life, Ye Jin had given in after her daughter talked her out of it. In the end, she was poisoned to death, her daughter's marriage match was stolen, and her daughter too was burned to death in the prime of her youth.

Reborn in this life, Ye Jin was just thinking about how to persuade her daughter when the girl spoke first and told her to get a divorce.

Something seemed a little off.

But her daughter's opinion mattered most.

After her divorce, Ye Jin opened a dessert shop, then a cloth shop, and made a living through business.

The only complication was that her daughter brought home a very peculiar person.

Then Ye Jin discovered that he was the future Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

Ye Jin: If you're going to do business, you have to think long-term. Investing in people is still investing, and it can bring huge returns.

Except she seemed to have invested a little too much. The future big shot kept wanting to become her daughter's father.

Magistrate Gu: I'm still her real father, and I'm not dead yet!

They said your mother would regret it. Instead, your father is the one crying like a dog.

He'd been played by his own daughter and wife working together!

"Old Man, I'm Here to Inherit Your Estate"

Li Rong transmigrated to the fifth year of the Daye era and settled in a small county in Duanzhou. With a loving grandmother and a modest fortune, she had a wonderfully comfortable life.

Then, when she turned sixteen, her scumbag father came looking for her and demanded she go to the capital.

Unable to refuse him and fed up with the whole thing, she decided to get to the root of the problem: go to the capital, drive the old man to his grave, and avenge her mother's premature death from grief.

Before she left, her grandmother worried that people would discover she was a girl. The Li clan relatives cried as they saw her off, but once they got home, they cheered and secretly set off firecrackers in celebration: Boo-hoo, the local tyrant of Duanzhou is finally gone!

Wei Shi'an, a treacherous minister, abused his power, built a faction, and had countless lives on his hands. He didn't even care about the imperial family.

Perhaps because he had done so much evil, he reached his late forties without a single son to inherit his vast estate.

After a serious illness, he suddenly remembered the wife he had once abandoned and the child she had been carrying, and immediately sent people to search for them in Duanzhou.

Months later, they found the child. She declined, saying she was dull-witted and feared she'd cause trouble if she went to the capital.

He didn't care at all. How much trouble could a child possibly cause? So he wrote to reassure her: "Come to the capital without hesitation. Whatever happens, your father will take care of it."

At the time, he had no idea just how much trouble one person could cause!

One month after arriving in the capital, his eldest daughter threatened to jump into a river.

Two months after arriving, his wife asked to be divorced, and all his concubines threatened to become nuns. The Wei household descended into chaos.

Three months after arriving, Li Rong had become the capital's local tyrant. She punched the Prince of Wang's heir, kicked the young Marquis of Xiao, and wreaked havoc at the Imperial College!

In less than half a year, Chief Minister Wei was so overwhelmed he could barely keep up, and people were catching him out at every turn. With no other choice, he sent her to the palace to be the young emperor's study companion. But his "good son" promptly started a romance with the young emperor, sharing a bed with him.

This wasn't just going to end the Wei family line. It would have the whole court and the entire realm cursing him!

Chief Minister Wei rolled his eyes again and again in fury, then lay in bed and shouted, "You little ingrate, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Li Rong grinned. "I just want to inherit your estate."
