Chapter 746 How could my mother be that kind of person?

"He is indeed a wolf."

Gu Qianhan said indifferently, "But how do you know he won't listen to me?"

Gu Qianning's eyes widened: "Second brother, are you dreaming? Feng Shuo will listen to you? Is he crazy or are you crazy?"

"Maybe they've all gone mad."

Gu Qianning was speechless; she hadn't expected her second brother to admit it so readily.

"But...but I still think that someone like him would never listen to you."

"Everyone has a weakness, and he is no exception. Having a weakness is a way to control oneself."

"Weakness? Feng Shuo? What weakness could he possibly have? I think he's all hard bones, not a single soft spot! He's even more cold-blooded than you!"

“He does have a weakness. I’ve suspected it before, and now it’s been confirmed.”

"Really? What weakness? Does he have a girl he loves but can't have? Is he tormented by love? Is he haunted by her?"

Gu Qianhan looked at her as if she were an idiot: "Besides love and romance, is there anything else in your mind? Look at Feng Shuo's cold and ruthless nature, does he seem like someone who would be troubled by love?"

"If he's not troubled by love, then what other weakness could he have?"

Gu Qianhan didn't answer her question, but instead asked her, "What are you doing in the front yard? Is something wrong?"

Gu Qianning then remembered why she had come here: "Of course I have something to do, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this lousy place! The rules are terrifying, and there are such impartial guards at the gate!"

"I'm discussing confidential matters here, so naturally I can't let anyone come and go as they please."

"I even spoke up for you and pleaded for you with Atang today, and you wouldn't even let me in the door! If you treat me like an outsider, you might as well sever our sibling relationship!"

"Stop rambling and get to the point!"

"You stopped Atang yesterday, and you stopped me today, but you won't stop my sister-in-law. Gu Qianhan, what exactly are you trying to do? Either treat everyone equally and don't let anyone in, or give me an explanation. Why can't Atang and I go in, but my sister-in-law can?! Does she have more eyes or more ears than us?"

"So, you've come to settle scores with me on behalf of Ah Tang?"

"That's right, I deserve credit for you being able to marry Atang. If I hadn't spoken up for you in front of her and helped you with this and that, do you think she would have liked you? I also promised her that if she married into the Duke's mansion, she would never be mistreated. I have to take responsibility for Atang!"

Gu Qianhan looked at her irritably: "What responsibility are you taking? She married me, not you. Why are you making such a fuss all day long, you little sister-in-law?"

Gu Qianning rolled her eyes at him: "You know she married you, so why are you letting her suffer? When you were pursuing her, you acted all high and mighty, full of affection and loyalty, but now that you've married her, you don't cherish her anymore, do you?"

Gu Qianhan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not cherish her?"

"You won't even let her into a shabby study? Is this how you cherish her? Is this how you treat her as a husband? I think she would have been better off marrying Xiao Qingyuan! At least Xiao Qingyuan doesn't have any sisters-in-law, and she can freely enter and exit the study of the Ning Prince's mansion!"

Gu Qianhan's expression suddenly turned cold: "Shut up! If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

"What, you dare to do it but not let me say it? If you slap Ah Tang in the face after she married you, who in the manor will care about her?"

“I didn’t hit her face. I didn’t know A-Tang was coming yesterday. It was the guards who took it upon themselves to stop her.”

"My sister-in-law and Ah Tang came in one after the other, so why can't Ah Tang go in after my sister-in-law goes in?! Aren't your guards just following your orders? If you hadn't told my sister-in-law to go in, I don't believe the guards would have dared to let anyone in without permission!"

Gu Qianhan closed his eyes for a while before saying, "I admit that I did ask the guards to let my sister-in-law in, but I really didn't know that Atang was also there, because the guards only reported to my sister-in-law and not to Atang."

Gu Qianning crossed her arms and glared at him angrily: "So, you're going to shift all the blame onto the guards?"

"No, I also bear responsibility. I failed to manage my subordinates properly and did not discipline them effectively, which is why this happened. These were indeed my oversights. But I did not fail to cherish Atang. You should know better than anyone how much Atang means to me."

Hearing him admit his mistake, Gu Qianning finally put away her aggressive attitude. She hadn't come to argue with Gu Qianhan; she had come to help Gu Qianhan and Shen Wantang reconcile.

But the prerequisite for reconciliation is that Gu Qianhan herself truly realizes the problem.

Now, this prerequisite has been met.

"Did you properly apologize to Atang? Did you humble yourself and try to coax her?"

Gu Qianhan glanced at her coldly, but didn't say anything.

Isn't that obvious? He practically knelt down to her last night. He doesn't need his sister to teach him how to coax his own woman.

"Look at you, you're always so cold-faced. Don't think you can give Ah Tang the cold shoulder just because you're handsome. Let me tell you, if you have a bad personality, being handsome is useless!"

"You have to learn to humble yourself. Even if yesterday was indeed your fault, you still have to humble yourself first before you can live a good life!"

"Ah Tang isn't the unreasonable type. As long as you admit your mistake, she'll soften her heart and forgive you, and you won't have to sleep in the study anymore."

"Also, you need to keep your distance from other women, including your sister-in-law! If you get too close to her, she might use it against you and try to take advantage of you!"

Gu Qianhan had already understood that Gu Qianning was on Shen Wantang's side, which was why she came to cause trouble today.

He listened patiently to her rambling for a long time, and only after she finally finished did he reply, "I know, I won't let anyone ride roughshod over Atang."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Qionghua Courtyard.

"Hey, Gu Qianhan! I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you running away?"

Gu Qianning called out to him as she chased after him.

She whispered, "Slow down, I have a secret to tell you!"

"What secret?"

"Um... you can't get angry when I tell you!"

"explain."

“Mother...she...actually...but we can’t entirely blame her. It’s normal for her to have worries, after all, you can be ruthless and don’t even recognize your own family when you’re angry, right?”

Gu Qianhan almost laughed out of anger: "Who taught you to talk like that? You've omitted all the important points, how am I supposed to understand you? Tell me, what stupid thing has Mother done this time?"

Gu Qianning lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Mother didn't do anything stupid. She just favors my eldest brother and sister-in-law, as you know."

"so?"

"So she doesn't want you and Mr. Tang to have a child, but wants your sister-in-law to have the eldest grandson of the Gu family."

Gu Qianhan stopped in her tracks: "She drugged A-Tang? To prevent her from having a baby?"

"No, no! How could my mother be that kind of person? She would never do something like harming her daughter-in-law behind her back."

"That's good."

"But your mother drugged you."

"What?!"
