Chapter 1593: In 1593, married Qianru.
Although the two were sitting across the table from each other, neither was a person of many words, so they sat in silence.
In the end, it was Gongsun Yanli who broke the silence, "Brother Su, how has business been lately?"
"Very good," ’he’ answered briefly.
"Being here alone, are you waiting for someone, or..."
’He’ replied indifferently, "Just passing the time with nothing better to do, savoring tea is all."
Gongsun Yanli looked at ’his’ ordinary eyebrows and eyes and couldn’t explain why, but he always felt that ’he’ possessed an attractive quality, "Speaking of which, Brother Su has been in the capital for over five years now, and since your wife passed away a long time ago, have you considered remarrying?"
Su Qingyue maintained her male disguise to outsiders, who believed ’he’ had a son and falsely claimed his wife died in childbirth, "I have no plans to remarry at the moment."
Gongsun Yanli took a light sip of the tea in his cup, "Recently... my sister Qianru has returned to the Gongsun Family. Qianru is talented and intelligent, graceful and insightful. The Ning family failed to appreciate her and treated her poorly. Now, she and Ning Bolan have divorced. Although she was married to the Ning family, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Gongsun Family with a thousand gold’s worth. There have been quite a few men coming to propose marriage recently."
The corners of Su Qingyue’s lips lifted slightly, showing an expression that was hard to tell whether it was mockery or pleasure.
After Gongsun Qianru’s failed marriage to Xiao Yuchuan over five years ago, her reputation was ruined. Entering the Palace was unrealistic, and marriage to Chang Haotian, the Estate Owner of Pear Blossom Villa who was on par with first-class families, was out of the question. She had no choice but to settle for less, marrying the third young Master of the Ning family, Ning Bolan, from a second-class family.
