Chapter 822: My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (31)

Gu Shichu looked at his anxious face and couldn't help laughing. He walked up to him, stood on tiptoes and gently bit his protruding Adam's apple, saying, "No, you performed very well last night. I am very satisfied."

Ming Xun's handsome face suddenly flushed, with a look of pride but trying hard to suppress it, the arc of the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, he simply put his arm around Gu Shichu's slender waist, kissed her pouty red lips, and said confidently: "I know that I can do my best in everything I do..."

Ever since Gu Shichu took the initiative to eat Mingxun once, Mingxun seemed to have opened the door to a new world. After that, Gu Shichu no longer had to take the initiative. After he had sex with someone, he wanted to stick to Gu Shichu every day. He even ignored the things he liked before and only stuck to Gu Shichu wholeheartedly, looking like a sweet newlywed couple.

Unlike this couple who are getting along well and are in love with each other, Gu Shiyao and Tang Buqing are the perfect example of the saying "appearance is harmonious but spirit is distant" and "sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams".

Even though Gu Shiyao comforted herself every time, Tang Buqing's cold attitude towards her was normal, because he was not a man who indulged in love, but was obsessed with his official career.

But every time she lowered herself to please him and asked him about his well-being, she was met with his impatient look and ruthless expulsion. Gu Shiyao could no longer deceive herself.

She finally exploded after Tang Buqing rejected the tonic soup she sent him: "Master! Do you have any problem with me? I am obviously your wife, but you are so indifferent to me, even more cold and heartless to me than to the servants in your house... Why? I think I have never done anything to let you down..."

Gu Shiyao was in tears and looked at Tang Buqing with great grievance.

However, Tang Buqing was even more disgusted when he saw her like this. He said coldly, "Have you really never done anything to let me down?"

When Gu Shiyao heard his words, she was shocked and had a bad feeling. She asked in astonishment: "What do you mean by that? Do you really think I've let you down?"

Tang Buqing saw that her face only had questions, and no shame or apology, so he felt bored and no longer wanted to get to the bottom of it. He closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, if you think there is nothing, then there is nothing."

After saying that, he ignored Gu Shiyao's hysterical crying and went to the study.

How could she not feel guilty? She had already had an affair with someone before marriage, and had cheated on the son of Marquis Qiyang. Now that she had married me by relying on the power of the Duke of Anguo, did she really think that all the past events were written off and disappeared forever? Didn't she feel guilty about herself at all when she was with me?

Tang Buqing didn't understand Gu Shiyao's thoughts at all and thought she was shameless.

Not long after, someone knocked on his study door. Tang Buqing thought it was Gu Shiyao, so he said impatiently, "I have official documents to deal with now. I'm very busy. Don't disturb me."

"It's me, your mother." This was the voice of Tang's mother.

Tang Buqing was startled, and quickly opened the door, welcoming his mother in, and asked, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Son, did you just have a fight with your wife? After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. You have been too cold to her during this period. You are still in the newlywed period. It is not good for anyone to make the relationship between husband and wife so tense. What if she goes back to her parents' home and complains about you?" Tang's mother saw her son's problem and persuaded him.

Tang Buqing looked at his mother who always cared about him. He felt even more indignant when he thought about how his mother even tried to please Gu Shiyao, a cheap woman, in order to get a promotion from his father-in-law. In this world, only daughters-in-law try to please mothers-in-law, but mothers-in-law never try to please daughters-in-law. But for him, his mother endured all kinds of grievances and tried to please a woman who was not worthy at all!

Tang Buqing felt more and more aggrieved and indignant the more he thought about it. Finally, his eyes reddened as he said to his mother, "Mom, do you know why I am so cold to her? Do you know why her father chose me, a powerless official from a humble family, as his son-in-law?"

"You...what's wrong with you? What's going on? Tell your mother clearly." When Tang's mother saw her son's resentful expression, her heart skipped a beat. She realized that there was something going on here that she didn't know.

Tang Buqing then told his mother all about the scandal that Gu Shiyao had caused in the Qi Yang Marquis Mansion before she got married. He also told her how others had humiliated him for clinging to the powerful and being a gigolo.

"What? Gu is such a bitch? Those people outside actually humiliated you like this?" Tang's mother was so angry that she almost exploded. Her son Tang Buqing was her Achilles' heel, the child she had nurtured with so much effort. However, she never expected that her baby would be humiliated like this.

"Mother, I really can't treat Gu calmly. It's good enough that I can bear not to lose my temper with her. She just complains that I am too cold to her. If I can afford to offend the Anguo Mansion, I would like to give her a letter of divorce!" Tang Buqing said with a grim expression.

At this time, Tang's mother already understood why her son was able to marry the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. After realizing this, she suddenly became furious and filled with hatred.

She thought that the Duke of Anguo took a liking to her son because of his excellent character and talents, and chose him as his son-in-law. However, she never expected that the Duke wanted her son to take over his shameful daughter!

"Duke Anguo is really going too far! He actually married his shameful daughter to you..." Although Tang's mother worked hard to support Tang Buqing's studies and helped him to succeed in life, she was ultimately limited by the times and her vision, and attached great importance to a woman's chastity and reputation.

She had always thought that her son was very outstanding and was more than qualified to marry a lady from a wealthy family, or even a princess. So when she learned that her son had married the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo, she thought it was natural and did not think it was a trap.

But now that she knew that her proud daughter-in-law had such a shameful past, she couldn't accept it. If it weren't for the power of Duke Anguo, she would really let her son divorce his wife.

Unfortunately, she can't let her son do this now.

"Mother, I can't divorce her, but I don't want to face her often. It will remind me of my helplessness and humiliation in resisting the power of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, so I can only treat her coldly like this." Tang Buqing said sadly, covering his eyes.

Tang's mother was like an angry old hen. Her eyes turned cold and she said, "Son, from now on, you should focus all your time and energy on official business, work hard, and get promoted as soon as possible. I will take care of Gu's family."
