Chapter 112 Will You Marry Me?
Anyway, the debt of favor has been owed, and there is not much difference between once and twice.
Gu Yuexuan shook her head without hesitation: "Forget it, why would I bother others over such trivial matters?"
"They are now much better off under Madam Pei's protection. If they take any further action, it will probably only attract unnecessary attention."
For Aunt Xiao and her son, obscurity is the safest refuge.
After all, in the original owner's memory, the extremely noble wife and the suave father were the two major disasters of the Gu family. Being too conspicuous would only bring misfortune.
Tu Subo responded thoughtfully, and after a moment he slowly asked, "I vaguely heard that your mother didn't marry into the Gu family of her own free will?"
Gu Yuexuan didn't expect that he knew such details so well. There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Indeed."
"If it weren't for that high-ranking general falling in love at first sight, my mother would have married the man she loved according to the engagement. Although her life would have been hard, she would not have had to endure being a concubine."
It would be fine if he could treat someone else's fiancée well after stealing her, but General Gu is not such a responsible man.
He was like a cheetah hunting his prey. He fell in love with every woman he saw and forcefully brought them into his house, leaving those once beautiful women to be eclipsed by the sea of flowers in the backyard.
As the passion faded, he began to feel resentful about those once smooth marriages, thinking that it was a great humiliation to him that the women who once belonged to him had other people in their hearts.
In a flash, he put behind him the women whose lives he had ruined and began to look for his next true love in the hustle and bustle of the world.
His acts of robbery and plunder were indeed jaw-dropping, but he still maintained his reputation as a man with a clear distinction between love and hate and a romantic character.
However, which of the women he imprisoned in the backyard was not living in dire straits?
Tu Subo had never thought that his casual words would upset her. He cleared his throat uncomfortably and said dryly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."
"Alas, this isn't really a secret."
Gu Yuexuan closed her eyes and spoke weakly, "Actually, my mother once told me that she doesn't expect me to cling to the rich and powerful. She just hopes that I can find an ordinary family and live a simple life. It would be best if we know each other well and don't look down on my status as a concubine."
"You may not know that when I learned that I would be marrying into the Tusu family in place of Gu Yuwei, she was so panicked that she almost took me with her to commit suicide. She was even punished by the Madam for refusing this marriage and was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for several days."
How noble is the eldest son of the Tu Su family?
Even for Gu Yuexuan, who possesses a stunning appearance, or even Gu Yuwei, who is the legitimate daughter, becoming the prince's consort is considered a step up.
However, a blessing from heaven struck them on the head like a meteorite, forcing Gu Yuexuan into the bridal sedan.
The mother and daughter lived like birds in a cage, completely unaware of the direction of the outside world, only filled with endless fear.
The final facts prove that the fear that comes from the bottom of your heart is the most real.
The Tu Su family has become a hot potato!
Gu Yuexuan still feels furious when she recalls how she was forced to take medicine and was stuffed into a bridal sedan.
Tu Subo noticed that the atmosphere was strange, as if the bed was covered with countless sharp thorns, making him feel pain all over and uncomfortable.
He swallowed nervously, pressed his body against the wall, and whispered, "Xuanxuan, I told my mother and grandfather that I was going to marry you."
Due to Xi Lanfang's momentary negligence, the misunderstanding of getting the wrong engagement partner caused an uproar in the Tu Su family.
But Tu Subo was stubborn and refused to give in even when he was beaten to a bloody pulp by his grandfather.
In the Tu Su family, the elders were ultimately unable to resist his persistence and could only act according to his wishes. Soon they reached an agreement with the Gu family and selected Gu Yuexuan as their marriage partner.
Because of changing his marriage partner, he was severely punished by his grandfather and almost died. He was forced to recuperate in bed for several months to maintain his life. He thought his wish had come true and was extremely happy, but he knew nothing about the real situation in the outside world.
However, the Gu family did not disclose the news that the Tu Su family intended to replace the candidate to the outside world, and even used two different statements at home and to the outside world. Therefore, it was not until the eve of the wedding that Gu Yuexuan...
"So, you wanted to marry me just because we met once in the temple?"
Gu Yuexuan revealed an unfathomable smile in the darkness: "Is it because of that handkerchief? That handkerchief is not mine. I was just a maid who carried things for my eldest sister when she went out, so..."
"I've already burned that thing. Not even the ashes are left!"
Tu Subo's alert reflex made Gu Yuexuan chuckle: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Is it really just because of that one encounter?"
Tu Subo was silent for a long time, his voice so soft that it seemed ethereal: "I don't know either."
It was just an encounter at that time, but it was later deeply engraved in my heart.
Xi Lanfang was once again worried about his marriage and burst into tears. When he was urged, he spoke without hesitation about his wish to marry the daughter of the Gu family.
If he had known that it would cause such a stir later, he should have explained it in more detail.
It would be best if I could draw a portrait of Xi Lanfang and let her use it to find her ideal partner.
Gu Yuexuan stared at the simple roof above her head, her heart beating like a drum, but she was speechless.
After a long silence, Tu Subo whispered, "If I had known that the Tu Su family would suffer such a disaster, I would have been more calm."
He wanted to pick his beloved flowers and take them home, but he never thought that his newlywed wife would have to go through the hardships with him.
To put it bluntly, his one-sided feelings are a disaster rather than a blessing for Gu Yuexuan.
Tu Subo couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
He propped up half of his body, lowered his head and stared into Gu Yuexuan's closed eyes, and asked softly: "Xuanxuan, have you ever thought about marrying me?"
"Will you marry me?"
Gu Yuexuan laughed dumbly at his question: "Is this something I can decide?"
"When you made this decision, you didn't ask for my opinion. Is it appropriate?"
"but……"
"Now that it has come to this, what's the point of talking about this?"
Gu Yuexuan turned away from his burning gaze, pursed her lips and said, "Tu Subo, everything is in the past."
At that time, she naturally had no way of knowing what the original owner was thinking.
However, given the current situation, it is indeed difficult for her to raise too much objection to this marriage that was forced upon her.
Apart from those complicated and messy troubles, at least Tu Subo is not that unbearable!
He is handsome, strong, abides by the rules, respects others, and even his meticulous care is barely noticeable. For her, who took over halfway, such a bad hand is already quite satisfactory.
If such peace and stability could be maintained, it would be a way of satisfying Aunt Xiao's original expectations.
