Why what?
Why were you willing to come see him?
"Why do you hate me so much just because I'm going to marry into the Xie family?"
They clearly grew up together, and were not unfeeling. On the contrary, before the sage betrothed him to Xie Danqiu, they were clearly very affectionate.
Why? Is it just because of Xie Danqiu?
But Gu Yaoniang and Xie Danqiu have clearly become friends! She doesn't dislike Xie Danqiu at all...
He couldn't understand why, after he became the top scholar in the imperial examination and was married into a prestigious family, she treated him like trash.
Clearly, with the Xie family's support, Gu Yaoniang's life would be much smoother with him. Why would she want him back?
Gu Yaoniang found it absurd.
Such an absurd reason.
Lu Zhaoan also found it absurd.
“Jinchuan, do you think he doesn’t understand feelings? In his heart, marriage is nothing more than an exchange of benefits for his parents’ orders and for carrying on the family line.”
Gu Yaoniang didn't really want Lu Zhaoan to answer. Before Lu Zhaoan could speak, she continued, "He told me so much, but he didn't ask about Xuan'er once."
They don't interfere with their own children.
However, it is entangled with some old stories.
Gu Yaoniang didn't know whether he was affectionate or heartless.
“I told him he didn’t understand women’s hearts, and all I wanted was to be cared for. But he said he hated me, and that if it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have gone this far to stand out.”
I find it laughable. Even if it weren't for me, would he stop trying so hard to climb the social ladder?
Gu Yaoniang still remembered her last words to Qin Yuxiu: "You passed the imperial examination with flying colors, and you could have lived a glorious life without having to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy. But you betrayed your promise and wanted to take the shortcut through aristocratic families."
The person you should hate is yourself.
She didn't intend to tell Lu Zhaoan these things.
She brought it up today not to recount those sordid matters concerning Qin Yuxiu.
“I am a greedy, stingy, and vindictive person. I cannot tolerate Qin Yuxiu having women on both sides, and I certainly cannot tolerate you doing the same.”
As Gu Yaoniang spoke, Lu Zhaoan quickly declared, "Of course I won't! You know, my father's household was chaotic, and I've watched his wives and concubines fight amongst themselves since I was a child. I swore that I would never let the woman I love go through all that. Even for the sake of my children, I will not allow a second woman in my household."
A smile flashed in Gu Yaoniang's eyes, but she continued, "But I'm also suspicious and jealous. Even if you haven't done anything, I might still be suspicious. I'll ask you questions and make you explain yourself to me at every turn. Jinchuan, have you thought it through?"
Have you thought it through? Are you willing to be subject to this kind of control?
Without hesitation, Lu Zhaoan readily agreed.
Gu Yaoniang then smiled and said, "Then come to my house to propose marriage."
Lu Zhaoan stood there dumbfounded, feeling his heart pounding with joy.
He cautiously reached out, wanting to touch Gu Yaoniang's cheek, but hesitated to raise his hand.
Gu Yaoniang found it amusing and stepped forward.
"Sister! What are you doing! Lu Zhaoan, get out of the Gu family!"
Just then, Gu Pingsheng's voice came from the other side of the garden.
Gu Yaoniang and Lu Zhao'an were startled like birds, their bodies jolting. Gu Yaoniang instinctively tried to dodge, while Lu Zhao'an wanted to protect her behind him. The two wanted to go in different directions, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
