Mrs. Gu believed in Buddhism and fate, and she felt more and more that this was fate destined by God. When she thought about her son who was nearly thirty years old and finally got married, she couldn't bear to be angry with her grandson and said with emotion: "You and A-Yao are still destined." , the age gap between twenty-nine and sixteen or thirteen years old cannot stop the fate.”

Gu Jingxi opened his mouth slightly, but finally swallowed the words back. He didn't know whether it was fate or not, but he knew that he and the little girl were the two victims.

For a moment, he laughed helplessly: "This marriage is too hasty. It shows that getting engaged too early is not a good thing, and accidents are prone to happen."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu's smile faltered and she replied: "Your father suddenly fell ill and passed away before he could choose which of his grandsons would marry A Yao. He attached great importance to this marriage. Xiu Ming is the eldest son, and he is the grandson in the mansion. Since he has the highest status, everyone assumes that he will marry A-Yao, and even I think so. Whenever he objects, I will make it clear to the Meng family that someone else will marry A-Yao."

Gu Jingxi comforted her with a gentle voice: "Mom, the matter is a foregone conclusion. There are no ifs and we can only look forward."

"It's natural. You and A-Yao must be on good terms." After Mrs. Gu said this, she suddenly remembered something important and asked again, "By the way, I heard that your people also brought the girl who eloped with Xiu Ming." Come back? What kind of girl is she?"

"Lack of education and frivolous behavior." Gu Jingxi responded in eight words without thinking.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Gu was shocked and couldn't believe it: "This, such a girl, what does Xiu Ming see in her? That child Ayao is outstanding in appearance, dignified, elegant and smart. He wants fish eyes instead of pearls. He is Are you blind?"

Gu Jingxi agreed with this. The traitor was really blind. He thought thoughtfully and said, "Probably because Miss Li saved his life."

Mrs. Gu was at a loss. In her impression, her grandson had never been in danger. She asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Jingxi said: "According to the information I found, Xiu Ming was bitten by a snake in the temple and fainted on the ground. Miss Li happened to pass by and found Xiu Ming. She went to notify the monks in the temple to come to rescue him. The abbot relieved Xiu Ming. Snake venom.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu frowned and said incomprehensibly: "It is a life-saving grace, but the life-saving grace can be repaid in other ways. She is an orphan, and our family can recognize her as an adopted daughter and give it to her in the future. If you are looking for a good marriage, why should Xiu Ming commit himself to it?"

Gu Jingxi frowned, and there was a hint of anger in his tone, angry that his adopted son was not responsible, "We met because of a life-saving grace, and we got in touch with each other. Miss Li's parents died early, and she was dependent on her grandfather. Now her grandfather has passed away. , she was the only one left in the family, lonely and helpless, Xiu Ming felt pity in her heart, and slowly developed feelings secretly."

"What a bastard!" Mrs. Gu became more and more irritated the more she listened. The anger that she had suppressed after reciting the scriptures for a long time surged up again. She cursed angrily and turned livid with anger. "Everyone thought he was going to marry A Yao. If he doesn't want to, he should make it clear before going to fool around with his savior. Then Miss Li is lonely and pitiful, and her fiancée who was abandoned by him on her wedding day and became a laughing stock is not pitiful? "

"Mom, calm down." Gu Jingxi stood up quickly, picked up the tea cup on the small coffee table, added hot tea, and then gave it to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu took the tea cup and took two sips of tea before putting it down. She hated that iron cannot be made into steel: "Ignore the lady that the matchmaker is marrying and run away with an uneducated and frivolous girl. It is a shameful evil!" she said Taking a deep breath, he asked again, "What are you going to do with Miss Li? Even if she is uneducated and frivolous, because Xiu Ming can't figure it out, her innocence is gone now. Xiu Ming must take responsibility for her." .”

Gu Jingxi said: "I have sent her home and will choose an auspicious day to take her as my concubine."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu thought it was feasible. She nodded slightly and asked again: "Is it your intention or Xiu Ming's?"

Gu Jingxi smiled: "It's what your daughter-in-law meant, and I think it's very good."

"Is this what A Yao means?" Mrs. Gu was a little surprised, then her eyebrows relaxed slightly, and her tone became much gentler, "What a generous child, he didn't make things difficult for him. If it were anyone else, he would probably find a reason to stop Li Girl, come in."

After a while, Mrs. Gu said again: "Now that it has been decided, let's find a good girl for Xiu Ming to be his first wife, and she must be a powerful lady who can control Xiu Ming and Miss Li. Wait until the first wife comes in , choose another day to welcome Miss Li into the house."

Gu Jingxi looked for a moment, then said immediately: "Mother, you don't have to worry about finding a girl for him."

Mrs. Gu glanced at him: "Is it possible that you want to find a girl for him yourself? You are a man after all, how do you know who has a good girl? It's better for me to choose for him."

Gu Jingxi replied: "When the period of confinement is over, he will choose an auspicious day to take Miss Li as his concubine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Gu's face suddenly darkened, and she scolded her with a straight face: "My son is not sensible, so are you a father who is also ignorant? Which son of a wealthy family would take a concubine before his wife even enters the house?" ? Which lady would dare to marry him?"

Gu Jingxi narrowed his eyes slightly and stated quietly: "Xiu Ming said that Miss Li is the only one in this life. He doesn't want anyone except Miss Li. Although Miss Li is a concubine, he will not marry a wife."

"Only taking concubines but not taking wives?"

Mrs. Gu's face became more and more ugly, her face was livid, and she cursed in a deep voice: "He is the prince of the Hou family, and he will inherit the title in the future. How can the family be in charge if there is no mistress? Who will deal with the human affairs for him? Is it possible to let someone handle it? A concubine who can’t stand the chance to do it? It’s embarrassing, and my ancestor’s face will be completely disgraced by him!”

"Mom, calm down, don't be so angry." Gu Jingxi comforted her warmly, then said without hesitation, "He is so dedicated, even if he is asked to marry a lady from a wealthy family, he will not treat her sincerely. In this case, we Why bother harming a girl from a good family? As for what you just said, isn't there Ayao? She is a marquise, so it is most suitable for her to do it. "

This statement is reasonable, but it cannot cover up her grandson's absurdity. Mrs. Gu frowned deeply, glanced at her son, and said reproachfully: "Forget it that Xiu Ming is ignorant, how can you let him do what he does? If he doesn't have a serious wife, he can't be serious. The legitimate son, do you want the concubine to inherit the title?"

Gu Jingxi remained silent, looking at the curling white smoke rising from the incense burner. After looking at it for a long time, he said casually: "Mother, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so just let him be."

Mrs. Gu was stunned and looked at him with penetrating eyes for a long time. His expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care much. She didn't know whether he didn't care whether there would be a serious legitimate son to take over the title after Xiu Ming, or whether he didn't care about Xiu Ming's son.

After a while, Mrs. Gu sighed: "Well, it's up to you. I don't care. I hope he won't regret it in the future."
