The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Gu Xiuming only listened to half of it. He felt uncomfortable and scratched his lungs. He frowned and asked, "Why? Wan'er, it doesn't matter if you say it. Is there anything else we can't say between us?"

Li Waner hesitated a little, glanced at his face quietly, then closed the study door, moved to his side, and said hesitantly: "Because you were punished several times by the Marquis and made the Marquis unhappy, they, they I think you are no longer valued by the Marquis, that’s why you are like this.”

After she finished speaking, the tears that she had just stopped poured down again, and she sobbed softly, blaming herself: "Brother Xiu Ming, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been punished by the Marquis."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiuming was shocked and suddenly remembered what his father had said to him before.

——Do you think that as your father has only one son, you must be the heir to the title, so you feel that you have the capital to be unscrupulous?

——Even if I only have one son as my father, you are not the only heir to the title of Marquis. You are not the only child in the Gu family. Since you are not worthy of the big responsibility, then you should be the one who can take over.

At that time, he begged his father to give him another chance to change his ways, but his father neither refused nor agreed. He was probably going to agree at that time, right? That's why I didn't reject him immediately.

But now, he was punished by his father again for fighting with Gu Xiuwen and Meng Chengzhang. Does that mean that he has used up this opportunity?

But this time his father only punished him with a month's suspension and copying the "Book of Filial Piety" fifty times. He did not report to the emperor to deprive him of his position as heir apparent and establish a new heir apparent. This proved that his father had not given up on him yet.

However, as a son, he could not get help from his father to enter Lingshan Academy. As a nephew, the fourth brother got help from his father. Moreover, this matter was decided when he was banned from the ancestral hall. Does that represent the fourth brother's association? Is he a candidate for the position of Crown Prince?

If he couldn't satisfy his father, would his father change his fourth brother to be the heir apparent? Or he could directly adopt the fourth brother and become his father's younger son. In this way, it would be more justifiable to make the fourth brother the heir apparent.

Thinking of this, a thin layer of cold sweat formed on Gu Xiuming's back. He felt a chill on his back, and an unprecedented sense of crisis hit him.

Before he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion in Changxing, his mother said that he had adopted him here just to be the heir apparent and to inherit the title as a marquis in the future. He had worked hard for so many years, how could he fall short?

Seeing that he was silent, Li Waner's face changed several times. She was not sure what he was thinking, and she was also very worried. She was afraid that he would put all the blame on her and ignore her. By then, the huge Changxing Marquis Mansion would... No one can protect her anymore.

Li Waner's tears fell even more fiercely, and she choked with sobs: "Brother Xiu Ming, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had known that so many things would happen to you when you were with me, and you would be punished, I would have definitely rejected you in the first place."

Gu Xiuming came back to his senses and looked at the crying girl. He reached out and pulled her to sit on his lap, coaxing her softly: "Wan'er, this is not your fault. Don't worry. This is the last time I will be punished."

Li Waner was slightly stunned and looked at him blankly.

Gu Xiuming raised his hand to wipe her tears with gentle movements. When his fingers touched the slap mark on her face, he moved even more gently for fear of hurting her. He then said: "Wan'er, those who have bullied you before will never hurt her again." I will make them pay you back double. You are the girl I love so much, I can’t even bear to bully you, and they can’t bully you.”

His tone was gentle, but his face was gloomy and scary. Li Wan'er was a little scared, so she snuggled into his arms and said softly: "Brother Xiu Ming, forget about the past. Let the past go by. We will be good in the future. That’s it.”

Gu Xiuming gently stroked her back: "Wan'er, we will be fine."

Li Waner nodded lightly, and suddenly remembered something. She raised her head to look at Gu Xiuming, and said softly: "Brother Xiuming, I have learned the rules almost enough. How about letting that Chunliu girl go back to Wei Ruixuan?"

Gu Xiuming frowned: "Did she bully you?"

"That's not true." Li Waner shook her head and murmured, "But I also feel uncomfortable. She doesn't look down on me as a concubine. I also know that she was originally the maid in the Marquis's yard and was very popular in the mansion. De Lian, but now she stays with me to teach me the rules, which is really wronging her."

Gu Xiuming was slightly stunned, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Chunliu, but after all, she was the maid in his father's yard and was not something he could handle, so he said: "Since Wan'er feels uncomfortable, I will tell her later. You have learned the rules, and she can go back to Wei Ruixuan."

When Li Waner heard this, she immediately smiled, hugged his neck, kissed him on the face, and said sharply: "Brother Xiu Ming, you are so kind."

Gu Xiuming was very pleased. Seeing her beautiful smile, the gloom in his heart dissipated, he held the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her.

Wei Ruixuan.

Meng Jinyao had nothing to do and suddenly became interested in the things in Gu Jingxi's warehouse. She took the booklet and key that Gu Jingxi had given her earlier, opened the warehouse and took a look at the things inside, and also saw if there was anything suitable for birthday gifts. It would be there in a while. It’s Mrs. Song’s birthday.

Mrs. Song is the mother of Mr. Song, the imperial winemaker, and the grandmother of her close friend Song Xinning, who has always been kind to her.

There are so many treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse that it's dazzling to see.

Thinking that Mrs. Song likes to collect exquisite and interesting ornaments, and also likes jade, she finally selected a child's birthday ornament carved from jade. It was carved with a scene of a boy holding birthday peaches and presenting them to the old man. The carving is exquisite and lifelike, and the boy is cute. He is smart and the old man is kind and kind. I am sure Mrs. Song will like him.

Suddenly, Meng Jinyao saw a dusty wooden box in an inconspicuous corner. The box was covered with a thick layer of dust. It looked like it was something forgotten in the corner. She ordered: "Qingqiu, go take a look at that box." What’s in it? It’s very dusty. Use a wet rag to wipe off the dust first, otherwise the dust will spread everywhere.”

Qingqiu responded and left the warehouse. Not long after, he brought a basin of water and a rag. He wiped off the dust with the wet rag. After wiping it clean, he found a mahogany box. He reached out to lift the box and walked to Meng Jinyao.

Meng Jinyao ordered: "Open the box and let me see what's inside."

Qingqiu opened the box, and a set of head and face made of mutton-fat white jade came into view. The plum blossom-shaped head and face were elegant and gentle in style. The jade quality was warm and translucent white, and the workmanship was also very fine, making people fond of it.

Qingqiu took a look and exclaimed: "Madam, this set of hair and face is really beautiful. It's a pity that such a beautiful head and face is left gathering dust in the corner."

Meng Jinyao nodded: "It's a pity, but I seem to remember that the booklet didn't record a complete set of mutton-fat white jade noodles. Where did this thing come from?"

Qingqiu replied: "Everything in the warehouse is recorded in the book. Maybe you remembered it wrong. Can you look at the book again?"
