C127 (1/2)

Marquis thought that this was probably what they meant by 'retribution'.

Two of his three sons hated him to the bone.

No matter how many difficulties he had to endure, it was a fact that Gu Qing had been abandoned. From his perspective, he had the right to hate his father.

”Gu Qing, I do not care what you have done over the years, or how much you hate this family, but for your mother's sake, do not go overboard. I will not force you if you do not want to live in Marquis Mansion, but since you have grown up, you must always be cautious of the consequences when doing things, and not be willful.”

”Father only now remembered to educate me. Isn't it a bit late?” Gu Qing laid his hands on the side as he looked down at Marquis condescendingly. ”I originally had some thoughts when I came back this time, but now that I found some interesting things in this house, I can see my mood. Maybe I would be happy and come back to stay that day.

Marquis's gaze tightened, ”Gu Qing! ”Don't be reckless. Your sister-in-law doesn't know anything. Stay away from her!”

Gu Qing laughed lightly, ”Father, why are you still so naive? I can't even be sure myself, so stop thinking about it.”

Gu Qing waved at the furious Marquis, ”I'm leaving first. Oh, don't be delusional enough to ask me to stay in the same courtyard as you, I might be unable to resist strangling her to death.”

Until the moment the study room door closed, Marquis still had not recovered from his shock. He remembered everything, but he actually remembered it all! He actually remembered what a baby did!

Gu Wan ran over to Xie Jingxi's place early the next morning, hugging him and whimpering like a child, ”Sister-in-law, I must have been dreaming last night, right? How could I even have a younger brother, I don't have any impression of him, this is definitely a dream, no, I still have to go to the National Overseer today.”

Xie Jingxi sighed, ”You sure know how to call me sister-in-law this time.”

I'm flustered, my sister-in-law is like a mother. Mother doesn't care about me, just tell me to hug you for a while.” Gu Guan hummed like a kitten, ”I don't want to stay home at all. Wearing women's clothes makes me feel so irritated. Wuu, I want to go to school …

Gu Wan could not help but feel awkward in her heart. Originally, she was the only girl in the house, the whole family was spoiling her and even Xie Jingxi had thought like this before, but now the Marquis couple's thoughts were very clear. Whatever kind of girl you want to learn from the Crown Prince, the elders of the family can agree. Whatever Gu Wan likes, the Marquis will let her be, and she will never mention the words that Gu Wan said when she was old enough to be. It's as if she wanted to pretend to be a man for her entire life, they will never say anything.

They had probably always had the thought that Gu Qing would be able to return one day, and coincidentally, Gu Wan had the intention of going to the Crown Prince's Palace to study, so they had naturally agreed. Now that Gu Qing had returned, he could officially become the Fourth Young Master of the Gu family, and Gu Wan could also return to his daughter's family.

Other than being a little unfair to Gu Wan, everything else was within reason.

Xie Jingxi could only console her, ”Isn't this good enough? You can still pretend to be in the academy after your age has passed, you can't really want to become an official, right?” Xie Jingxi pointed in front of her, ”If you continue to tie this up, it won't be long. Let's see what you will do in the future.”

Gu Wan crawled up with both hands in front of her body as she looked at Xie Jingxi out of the corner of her eyes, ”Hmph, not too long.

Xie Jingxi snorted, ”I really don't care, aiya, what about General Sheng?”

”What does it have to do with him!? Why did you bring him up so well? Aiya, aiya, you're so annoying. I'm not going to care about you anymore! ”

Gu Wan came in quickly but was interrupted by Xie Jingxi. She then ran out to play with Xie Bakuai out of shame and anger, who ran in, looking suspiciously at the figure of Gu Wan's back, ”Miss, what happened to Third Miss? Why does it look like she got someone to cook it for her, it's so strange.”

Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes, ”Only you would find it weird, how old are you to not grow a few snacks, even Wan'er is embarrassed, why are you so heartless.”

Ming Yu had offended someone, why did she have to be so careless? She spent her days in front of Xie Jingxi, but there was no man who hooked up with her.

Xie Jingxi thought, she still had to blame her, never mind, when she had the chance in the future, she would bring her out to meet other people.
