”You haven't slept in months?”

In the Marquis Anfeng Palace, the Lady Zeng had called Gu Heng for questioning. The mama in the second room told her that Gu Heng had been sleeping in his study for the past few days and it had been a long time since he had returned to the main room to sleep.

Gu Heng did not seem to mind, ”Mother, how old am I? Can you not ask about the matters in the room?”

”It has grown wings!” Lady Zeng was furious, ”How old are you? You don't even have a direct son, how can you ignore your mother!”

When Gu Heng heard this, he felt a little impatient, ”I have been taking care of her body the entire time, how can you not know what her situation is? If I go, it would be a simple quarrel, furthermore she is not in a good condition, so let's just leave the matter of the child to fate.”

”Depends on fate? What fate! ” The Lady Zeng was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, ”You are clearly fine, in a few years you will be delayed in everything. The one in your study, if you like it, you can bring it into the room.

”Mother!” Gu Heng was extremely annoyed, ”Stop slandering her, she is just a servant in her room. If I wanted to touch her, would I still have to wait until today? ”Alright, you don't have to worry about what happens in my room. I know what I'm doing!”

Lady Zeng ignored him, continuing to talk to himself, ”Did you take a fancy to some girl? ”Tell mother, mother will go and give it to you …”

”Mother!” Gu Heng was completely enraged, ”What are you saying? I have a wife in my room, do you want her to marry me? What do you think of our Marquis Mansion and face? Who is willing to send a fine young miss in as a concubine! ”

Gu Heng immediately regretted his words, he was so angry that he became confused, causing Lady Zeng's eyes to immediately light up, ”That's right, Mother already knew that, from the start, you do not like the one in your room, but no matter what, you should first accept a few people to be at ease, because being empty like this is not really a solution.”

”Didn't you see the matter of the fifth brother in the Xie Clan last time? There are only two brothers in the clan, and now one of them is crippled, and the other one is of average aptitude, so what use does Old Master Xie have? There isn't a proper heir in the family, you can see how important a son is, it doesn't matter where he gives birth to two.

The more Lady Zeng spoke, the more disfigured she became. When Gu Heng heard the end, he simply flung his sleeves and left. He had no other choice but to sigh. When it came to marriage, Lady Zeng remembered that her master had told her about Gu Yun a few days ago. She had delayed it for a long time and had almost forgotten everything.

Although Lady Zeng was unwilling, she still had to consider her stepmother's face. Thus, early the next morning, Lady Zeng prepared some gifts and went to visit the Xie Clan.

Lady Xu was stunned when she heard about Lady Zeng coming over, ”Marquis' Wife came by himself? Second Miss didn't come? ”

Nanny Feng said: ”Only Marquis' Wife came. The two ladies never came, and Marquis' Wife also brought something with him. He said that he is here to see Nan and the Third Miss.”

”Look at the two of them?” Lady Xu felt it was funny. She thought that since the two of them had almost recovered, it was rare for them to come and visit. ”Quickly invite her in.”

Lady Zeng walked in and greeted them, ”Yo, my wife is here. It's rare for you to come here, what are you bringing? We welcome you too late.”

Lady Zeng pulled Lady Xu by the hand, ”Our family has been talking too much, let's not talk about this. A while ago, the elder had already heard that big brother in the family had gotten into trouble, and was afraid that it would cause trouble for the family. Since you were alone with your family, and your two children were worried for you, he did not have the face to bother you, it was only when he heard that everything was good did he come to visit.”

”Hey, you're serious.” The Lady Xu sighed, ”It's a pity that we, the Nan, are awake, but we can't walk fast enough. We get angry all the time in bed, it's not easy to take care of him.”

”My condolences, it's a pity that he's a good child. He's still young, it's still possible for him to not be able to lie down. That child is sensible and understanding the general picture.

”Jingwan sprained his leg, Imperial Physician Pei is a righteous person, but she is young, so she can recover quickly, and there are no major problems, please take care of her.”

The two of them chatted for a long time, but Lady Xu did not understand the reason for Lady Zeng's visit. Lady Zeng opened her mouth a few times, but she was too embarrassed to speak up.

”The Fourth Brother in your household has reached the age of marriage, do you have me?”
