Kong opened the door and saw Gu Xiuming outside the door. He immediately looked behind him warily, and when he saw no one behind him, he nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Xiuming, you're here, come in quickly."

After Gu Xiuming came in, Mrs. Kong immediately closed the door of the private room.

Gu Jingze also greeted with a smile: "Xiu Ming, come sit down and talk."

Gu Xiuming bowed to them as a junior: "Xiu Ming has met his uncle and his aunt."

As soon as these words came out, Kong and Gu Jingze's smiles froze, and their expressions changed slightly. This was obviously their biological son, but now he was a nephew when they met, and they couldn't even call him father or mother.

Kong felt disappointed and was not satisfied with this title, and said angrily: "Xiu Ming, this is not the Gu family, why do you still call us that?"

When Gu Xiuming heard this, he immediately changed his words: "Father, mother."

Kong and Gu Jingze were satisfied and responded with smiles.

Gu Xiuming sat down. He still had feelings for his biological parents, even though they didn't meet them often. He asked warmly, "What's the matter with my father and mother looking for me?"

Mrs. Kong put aside important matters for the time being and started to care about her son's situation: "Xiu Ming, how are you doing in the Marquis Mansion? How do they treat you? After your mother heard that you escaped from marriage, you were punished several times."

Gu Xiuming's face darkened, and he said sadly: "Mother, my position as the heir apparent will not be guaranteed. Gu Jingxi wants to raise me as a cripple and raise a fourth brother, and he will probably adopt the fourth brother."

When the couple heard this, they were both shocked. They looked at him in disbelief and said in unison: "How is this possible?"

Gu Xiuming gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Is it because of Gu Jingxi that I failed the exam in Qiu Wei? He didn't bother to teach me knowledge at all. Now that I failed the exam, his attitude towards me has become much colder."

Gu Jingze was stunned and asked incomprehensibly: "Didn't he treat you very well before? You are his only son, and he is proud of you if you win the election. How could he treat you like this?"

Gu Xiuming narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sinister look in his eyes: "He used to be okay with me, but since Meng Jinyao married him, he has changed. That bitch really did not blind her charming face in vain, and bewitched Gu Jingxi, Whenever the wind blows from this pillow, Gu Jingxi becomes even more dissatisfied with me."

Kong was stunned: "Isn't he in bad health?"

"What do you, a woman, know?"

Gu Jingze glanced at her and frowned. As a man, he knew it best. There are many tricks for men to play, but they don't necessarily need to be able to do it themselves. Otherwise, the eunuch in the palace is obviously a rootless person, but he still follows her. The palace maid is eating? Being able to be affected by pillow wind means that Meng Jinyao can satisfy Gu Jingxi. She seems gentle and harmless, but unexpectedly she is very capable.

The Kong family had a sense of crisis. Their family had to rely on their son to inherit the title in the future, and then let the son take over the role of the eldest son. If the son could not inherit the title, wouldn't this son be given away in vain? He said in a deep voice: "Xiu Ming, if you adopt him as your heir, you will inherit the title for so many years. We can't let the second son of the eldest son have his beard cut off now. What are your plans now?"

Gu Xiuming replied truthfully: "Grandma values ​​​​feelings. I have been with her for so many years, and she still has a kind of ancestral relationship with me. And at her age, she likes children the most. My son wants to give her to Wan'er. Give birth to a great-grandson and win over her heart. Even if Gu Jingxi wants to change his son, he will still have to go through the test of his grandmother."

Gu Jingze agreed with his plan: "This is a good idea."

Kong was a little confused, so she immediately asked: "Wan'er? Which Wan'er?" Before Gu Xiuming could answer, Kong thought of someone and asked, "Is she that unworthy concubine of yours?"

Gu Xiuming's tone was displeased: "Mother, how could you say such things to Wan'er?"

Ms. Kong didn't want to be separated from her son. If her son liked Aunt Li, she wouldn't mention her, but she couldn't watch her son make the same mistake again and again.

Kong said earnestly: "Xiu Ming, even if you and Aunt Li have a child, they are just concubines. There is a huge difference in status between a concubine and a legitimate son. You also said that your adoptive father's attitude towards you has become much colder because of Meng Jinyao, and even The position of the crown prince may also be shaken. At this time, you should marry a well-matched wife to help you and stabilize your position as the crown prince. In addition, when you inherit the title in the future, you must have favors from each family, and you must have a wife in the house. Come and host.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiuming was momentarily shaken, but thinking of the simple and weak Wan'er, he shook his head again: "No, if you have a real wife, won't Wan'er have to be punished?"

Gu Jingze didn't know that his son was actually a lover. He hated iron and said: "A young man like you who has just started to have an affair will think that the so-called love is better than everything. When you reach the age of being a father, you will know that it is nothing. It is more important than power and position. In your heart, is the position of the heir apparent less important than a concubine?"

After the words fell, Gu Xiuming was stunned. He liked Wan'er and could even escape from marriage for Wan'er, but he couldn't give up his position as the heir apparent for Wan'er.

Mrs. Kong saw that he seemed to be shaken, so she continued: "Xiu Ming, if you like Aunt Li, you can continue to like her, and it will not prevent you from marrying. If you are afraid that Aunt Li will be punished, then marry a gentle, kind, and caring woman." A tolerant wife, when you and your legal wife have children, you can also give Aunt Li the child, but before the legal wife comes in, you cannot let the eldest son or daughter of the concubine be born. If you take a concubine before you are married, it is already It affects your reputation. If you have a concubine's eldest son and concubine's eldest daughter, a well-matched girl will not dare to marry you."

Gu Xiuming hesitated and said, "But..."

Gu Jingze didn't want to hear about the so-called love between children. In his opinion, these were not worth mentioning. He directly interrupted Gu Xiuming and said solemnly: "But what? Your mother and I adopted you out because we didn't want you to be adopted." Can you have a better future? You are destroying your future for a woman now. Even if you don't regret it now, you will regret it later."

Gu Xiuming was silent.

Mrs. Kong softened her tone and said warmly: "Xiu Ming, we are your biological parents, is it possible that we can harm you? For this reason, you should marry a well-matched girl. Mother is sure that as long as you marry a well-matched girl, The old lady will definitely be happy when the lady comes back to be the main wife. Then she will study hard and strive to win the imperial examination in three years' time and shine brightly. The old lady will like you more, and even your adoptive father will probably value you again."

Gu Xiuming remained silent, his head slightly lowered, as if he was considering this issue.

Seeing that he was still hesitating at this time, Gu Jingze hated the iron and wanted to continue talking. Kong quickly pulled down her husband's sleeve and signaled her husband to stop talking, so as not to arouse her son's rebellious psychology by talking too much.

After a long time, Gu Xiuming raised his head to look at them, his eyes firm, and solemnly said: "My son knows what to do."

Kong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled happily, and said warmly: "Xiu Ming, as parents, we all hope that our children will be well. Your father and I will never harm you."

Gu Xiuming nodded: "My son understands."
