Chapter 850

....
850 Marriage is a matter between two families
Duke Rong stared at Gu shouxin,’you’re still not satisfied? Jie yuanlang was quite good at being pretentious! Let this old man tell you, if it wasn’t for mu Yan’s determination to have your daughter, this old man wouldn’t have taken a fancy to her at all! Even if you become the top scorer, your daughter is still not worthy of my grandson.”
Gu shouxin replied,”High Duke, you don’t have a grandson. That’s your maternal grandson!” Do you know why you don’t have a grandson? You’re acting as if you’re the one who founded the great Zhou imperial court. Even the heavens don’t want you to have an heir! If this continues, I don’t think there will be an heir.”
“Impudent!” Duke Rong was so angry that he was trembling.
Gu shouxin curled his lips in disdain. “So what if I’m impudent? What can you do to me? I advise you to speak obediently. If you don’t speak obediently, I’ll make my daughter, who isn’t worthy of your grandson, not marry him. At that time, you won’t even have a grandson.”
Gu shouxin deliberately emphasized the word “grandson.”
Duke Rong pointed at Gu shouxin.
Gu shouxin returned to his expressionless face, coldly glanced at Duke Rong, and then closed the door.
“You’ll regret this one day!” Duke Rong was furious.
Gu en ran over with a sandbag that had been added a few pounds. “Second uncle, I don’t like li Muyan. Don’t let him be my second brother-in-law! If second sister marries him, with this old man, her days will definitely not be peaceful!”
Gu shouxin glanced at Gu en and did not say anything. He walked back to the central room with his hands behind his back.
Gu en could only follow. If she had known earlier, she would not have run over.
Gu shouxin continued to test Gu en, as if nothing had happened.
Gu en began to think about how to tell the second brother about this. This damn old man came to scold second uncle and asked the second brother to mess with the old man’s people in the capital!
“Focus!” Gu shouxin glanced at Gu en.
Gu en obediently stopped thinking about it.
……
At night, Gu shouxin called Gu Nian into the house alone. His expression was a little off. Gu Xin pulled Gu si to a corner to listen. This time, Gu shouxin did not let them listen.
Gu Nian was a little afraid of Gu shouxin and asked weakly, ” “Father, what’s wrong?”
Gu shouxin looked at Gu Nian and said,”the Li family has mentioned marriage to your mother again.” I’ll just ask you a few questions. First, if li Muyan’s family doesn’t like you and thinks you’re someone of high status, but li Muyan has vowed to marry you, what will you do?”
“Father, why do you ask?” Gu Nian frowned. Aunt Luo is very sincere to our family! It’s not that you don’t like me!”
“You just need to answer,” Gu shouxin said.
“I don’t know either,” Gu Nian replied in silence.
“Second, if I object to you marrying li Muyan, will you marry or not?” Gu shouxin asked again.
Gu Nian looked at Gu shouxin in surprise.
Li Muyan didn’t provoke her father? Could it be because of the Lantern Festival?
“Answer me!” Gu shouxin said coldly.
“Father, I can only tell you that I’m not against marrying him.” Gu Nian pouted. However, I remember a sentence. You can choose not to marry the person your parents want you to marry, but you must not marry the person your parents want you to not marry. If her father objected, she would listen to him. However, our daughter will not be happy and might not marry for the rest of her life.”
Gu shouxin replied,’your mother and I can afford to support you! Li Muyan wasn’t a good match and couldn’t be married! Niannian, the great Zhou Dynasty is different from the place where you and your mother used to live. In the great Zhou Dynasty, marriage was not a matter between two people, but a matter between two families. Do you know what Duke Rong and his wife would do if they didn’t like you?”
Gu Nian shook her head.
Gu shouxin replied,’I’ve seen a lot of such things, so I’m not trying to scare you. They didn’t have a son, so if they wanted someone to inherit the title, li Muyan would be the son of Duke Rong’s mansion. Even if li Muyan agreed to let all his sons have the surname Jiang, these two old men would still add to li Muyan’s family. You can tolerate concubines having sex?”
Gu Nian opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Gu shouxin interrupted her.
