Gu Jingxi's face was sullen, his eyes were sharp, and he asked coldly: "Do you think that your father only has one son, and you must be the heir to the title, so you feel that you have the capital to be unscrupulous?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiuming's heart trembled, and a look of guilt and panic flashed in his eyes. He shook his head hastily and defended himself: "Father, no."

Gu Jingxi looked at him solemnly and said unhurriedly: "Even if I only have one son as my father, you are not the only heir to the title of the Marquis. You are not the only child in the Gu family. Since you are not worthy of the big responsibility, then you can do it." Live there.”

Gu Xiuming's face turned pale, his eyes were full of fear, his legs went weak, he knelt down, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Father, my son really realized his mistake. There will never be a next time. I beg my father to be merciful and give my son another chance to change his ways. "

When he spoke, his voice was trembling. Before he was adopted, his biological parents said that he was going to be the crown prince and would inherit the marquis in the future.

After he was adopted, everyone in the Hou Mansion treated him very well, and he adapted to the life in the Hou Mansion. At the same time, he also understood that the reason why others were trying to please him was just because he was his father's son and the eldest son of the Changxing Hou Mansion.

He really couldn't imagine what would happen in the future if he lost his position as the heir apparent. Those who once flattered and flattered him would probably add insult to injury and ridicule him, and even the servants in the palace would ridicule him.

Gu Jingxi had a panoramic view of all the subtle changes in his son's expression, and knew what his son cared about and what he was afraid of. Now he was only disappointed with this son who had devoted his efforts and had high hopes.

He frowned in deep thought, with a dark and unpredictable expression on his face. He looked down at his uneasy son who was kneeling on the ground, and said two words lightly: "Get out."

Gu Xiuming raised his head in surprise: "Father?"

Gu Jingxi said nothing, just looked at him indifferently, his eyes dark and unpredictable.

Gu Xiuming was frightened, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and kowtowed to his father: "Please calm down, father. My son will go back and reflect on his life, and he will never do it again."

After leaving the study, Gu Xiuming's face was bloodless, his face was as pale as paper, and he was exhausted. When he went down the steps, he staggered and almost fell.

His father did not tell the result, nor did he say that he would be deposed, nor did he say that he would always be the heir to inherit the title. As long as the final result did not come out, his hanging heart would never let go.

This feeling was like a sword hanging over his head, which could stab him down at any time and take his life. He would be accompanied by fear and uneasiness. His sense of superiority as the prince of the Hou family disappeared in an instant, leaving only a sense of crisis, which could happen at any time. The sense of crisis was replaced, and every step he took was like walking on thin ice.

He looked up at the sky, looking at the clear sky, feeling that his future was bleak. He wondered, is it because he is not his father's biological son? If he were his biological child, his father would definitely not treat him like this.

Even if you have a dog, you have feelings for it after so many years, let alone a human? He also called Gu Jingxi his father for so many years. Gu Jingxi was really hard-hearted.

Gu Xiuming was devastated and returned to Qingyu Pavilion like a zombie. He saw Li Waner crying with pear blossoms in the rain. Hearing the pitiful sobs, for the first time, he did not hold the person in his arms and coax him, and his heart still rose for no reason. A hint of irritation.

When Li Waner saw him, it was as if she had seen her backbone. She stood up suddenly and threw herself into his arms. She became more and more aggrieved and her tears fell more fiercely. She choked and said: "Brother Xiuming, none of your family members like me. They look down on me, do they blame me for running away with you that day and hurting your fiancée?"

She said, then gave up on herself and said: "Yes, she is a girl from the Yongchang uncle's house. She comes from an official family and is so beautiful. But I am just an orphan with nothing. It is normal for your family to like her."

Although Gu Xiuming was irritable, he still felt distressed when he saw his beloved girl crying in his arms, her slender shoulders twitching. He suppressed the irritation in his heart and patiently said a few words: "Wan'er Don't cry, it doesn't matter whether they like you or not, as long as I like you."

However, Li Waner was not so easy to coax this time, and was not comforted by these words. As long as she thought of the joke she made because of her lack of etiquette in Shou'an Hall, the intriguing expressions in her eyes when they looked at her The look in his eyes made her feel ashamed, and she was even more frightened when she thought that she would be ridiculed by those people when she met those people when she left the yard in the future.

She slowly raised her head to look at Gu Xiuming, her tear-stained face full of grievances, her misty eyes looking at him eagerly, her tone full of helplessness: "But you are not the only person I will face in the Gu family in the future. And them, what should I do?”

Gu Xiuming's father's words were echoing in his mind. He was restless and didn't have much patience with her. When he heard what she said, he said, "Since you are afraid, go out less and avoid meeting them."

After hearing this, Li Wan'er was stunned, a little unbelievable that he would say such a thing. It took a long time to react, and she felt even more aggrieved and said: "Brother Xiuming, do you also dislike me for embarrassing you today? Since you dislike me so much Me, why didn't I marry Meng Jinyao in the first place and wanted to elope with me?"

Gu Xiuming looked at the girl who was usually considerate and seemed a little unreasonable today, and felt even more irritated. However, he thought that Wan'er must have been wronged today. Besides, without Wan'er's kindness, he would have been bitten by a snake that day, which would have really killed him. He was in trouble, but he still couldn't bear to blame him, and shook his head gently: "Don't think so wildly, why would I dislike you?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe Li Wan'er's tears and continued to coax: "Wan'er, the eldest brother and sister-in-law got married at the end of last year and have no children yet. If we can give birth to a great-grandson for my grandmother before them, for the sake of the eldest grandson For your sake, grandma will change your attitude, and as long as grandma changes her attitude toward you, others will too."

After hearing this, Li Wan'er was temporarily comforted. The mother is more valuable than the child, and this is true in any family. For the sake of the child, I believe that the attitude of the elders of the Zugu family will soften and they will slowly accept her.

Seeing that she finally stopped crying, Gu Xiuming said, "Okay, stop crying, let the maid come in and clean up."

Li Waner was confused: "What to pack?"

Gu Xiuming replied: "Pack your things and move them to the west wing. You also need to move to the west wing."

Li Waner didn't know why: "Brother Xiu Ming, it's nice here and I like it very much. Why do you want to move to the west wing?"

"The main house is the residence of the main wife, so..." Gu Xiu said halfway, but did not continue. He did not even dare to look directly into her eyes and looked away, feeling guilty and guilty.
