Chapter 814 My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (23)

"You want to marry me just to find a playmate?" Gu Shichu looked at Mingxun with an indescribable look. Which man would get married for this reason?

As expected, the Prince of Qi Yang is so childish and always seems like a child who never grows up.

But it was also good this way. Gu Shichu thought about his conditions carefully. His family background was already among the best. He had a capable father, a straightforward mother, and an equally simple and silly brother. The family relationships were simple. Marquis Qi Yang did not take concubines, so the backyard was very clean, without any foul intrigue. Marquis Qi Yang's half-brothers of the same generation had separated more than ten years ago. If she married into the marquis's mansion, she would not have to deal with those complicated family relationships.

As for Mingxun himself, although he loves to eat, drink and have fun, and is a dandy boy known to everyone in the capital, he has not done anything that Gu Shichu would consider to be beyond the bottom line, such as whoring, gambling, drugs or treason...

What's more, he is stupid, naive and easy to fool, and he also likes to have fun, so he won't hinder her from enjoying life... When Gu Shichu thought of this, he immediately felt that this marriage was worth considering.

"I agree! You should convince your mother to agree to our marriage as soon as possible and send someone to propose." Gu Shichu agreed immediately without waiting for Mingxun to say anything else. She also reminded him shamelessly without any shyness or evasion that ordinary women would have when talking about their marriage.

She was a rebellious person, and Mingxun was even more so. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Shichu's attitude. He was very happy to hear that she agreed, and said repeatedly: "Okay, I will persuade my mother again, you just wait for my good news."

After saying that, he jumped out from the ancient courtyard wall again.

Gu Shichu couldn't help but smile softly as he looked at his flexible and graceful movements.

The reason why she agreed to marry Mingxun so easily was not only because Mingxun respected her more than other men nowadays, but also because Gu Shiyao and Tang Buqing's marriage had been settled, and the marriages of other girls in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion were also on the agenda.

As an orphan without a father or a mother, Gu Shichu's marriage had naturally to be decided by Gu Taoxing and her aunt Zhou. Gu Taoxing had no feelings for her niece, so she naturally let Zhou make the decision.

Zhou had never had a good impression of Gu Shichu, and she was even less interested in her marriage. She only wanted to use her to arrange a marriage for the Duke of Anguo, so the candidates she considered were middle-aged men who had lost their wives or unmarried illegitimate sons from other wealthy families. As for whether Gu Shichu would like such a person, Zhou didn't care. Anyway, Gu Shichu's marriage was in her hands. If she wanted Gu Shichu to marry, Gu Shichu had to marry.

In ancient times, there were of course many ways to avoid marriage, but as long as she did not get married, this trouble would not go away, unless she escaped and fled far away under an assumed name.

Before Mingxun proposed to marry her, Gu Shichu did consider the method of escaping death. After leaving the capital, he would be completely free.

But after Mingxun proposed to marry her, Gu Shichu no longer wanted to run away. She was essentially a salted fish. Since there was a better way than running away, why should she refuse and choose the more troublesome path?

Besides, marrying Mingxun would not only put an end to Zhou's idea of ​​using her for an alliance, but would also not hinder her from continuing to enjoy her life in the future. So why not do it?

So Gu Shichu, who had always been easy-going, quickly figured out what she wanted, which was why she agreed to the marriage with Mingxun so readily.

Naturally, their marriage could not be so easy to succeed. After all, even if we don't talk about the shameful farce that Gu Shiyao caused in the Marquis Qi Yang's Mansion that made everyone lose face, the identities and status of Gu Shichu and Ming Xun were not at the same level. There was a big gap between them. Although Ming Xun was a playboy and had no ambition, he was the son of the Marquis Qi Yang after all. If he wanted to marry a well-educated and well-mannered lady, it would still be possible for him to do so. He didn't have to fall to marrying an orphan like Gu Shichu.

Let’s not first explain how Xun fought with his parents at home and insisted on marrying Gu Shichu, let’s just talk about Tang Buqing.

After Tang Buqing finished his home visit leave and brought his widowed mother from his hometown to the capital, his marriage to the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo soon became known to everyone.

However, apart from one or two fellow Jinshi who sincerely congratulated him on his double happiness, the other new Jinshi would look at him with contempt or inexplicable eyes and sneer at him with ambiguous meanings. Tang Buqing felt puzzled and thought that they were jealous of his relationship with the Duke of Anguo, so they treated him like this.

But once at a party, he went to the bathroom. When he returned to the hall, he heard people talking about him:

"I didn't expect that Tang Buqing, who looks noble and proud on the surface, is actually a man who will do anything to achieve his future. He didn't even care that his fiancée had been unfaithful and had an affair with someone else, and was willing to be cuckolded. Wow, he's really amazing!" said a sarcastic man.

"Haha, since he can get in touch with the Duke of Anguo, what's the big deal about marrying a slut? If he doesn't like her, he can just marry her as a decoration. He can take other women he likes in the future. I guess the girl from the Gu family who has already lost her virginity has no confidence to care about him. In order to make him treat his daughter better, the Duke of Anguo has to spare no effort to promote him. In my opinion, if Tang Buqing can get so many benefits in exchange for the position of the main wife, I would be willing to do the same..." Another playboy also laughed.

"He is also a man who can bend and stretch. He can save decades of struggle by enduring the humiliation of being cuckolded for a while. The marriage between Tang Buqing and the Duke of Anguo is worth it. Why didn't the Duke of Anguo like me? I can also marry Miss Gu."

"Hmph! In order to curry favor with the rich and powerful, Tang Buqing is willing to marry an unclean woman. He has not the slightest integrity of a scholar. He is truly despicable. I am ashamed to be associated with him!" Suddenly, an incompatible voice said with disdain.

The room suddenly became quiet, but soon someone broke the deadlock: "Oh, let's not talk about these things, it has nothing to do with us anyway..."

Tang Buqing, who was outside the door, felt as if struck by lightning when he heard the first person say that he was willing to be cuckolded. He was shocked and embarrassed, and his face turned pale. He could hardly suppress his shame and shock, and wanted to rush in to ask them what was going on.

But he still had a bit of rationality left, and he knew that if he went in, he would be the only one who would be embarrassed.

He clenched his hands into fists, his nails dug into the flesh of his palms, his back teeth were clenched tightly, his eyes were red, his chest was heaving violently, and his whole body was like a fire and medicine barrel that was about to burst into flames.

It turns out that the pie that fell from the sky was indeed poisoned.
