Thinking back to how he had been disrespectful to his stepmother because of Jiang Yueling's matter, Gu Tingzhou put his head against the spring stool, feeling extremely regretful.
Gu An was even more distressed. Others didn't know it, but he knew his step-wife's temperament very well. He had worked hard for the Duke's Mansion over the years and had taken good care of his stepson, but in the end, he was still not liked by his two sons, and even the Xie family found fault with her.
"Wanwan, take your aunt back to rest."
Gu An glanced coldly at Chang and said, "Madam, there's no need to worry about this rebellious son anymore. It's all my fault that I neglected to discipline him, allowing you to indulge this bastard, which is why he became so arrogant and ignorant."
The implication is that the second wife has never treated her two sons badly.
Staring at Gu Tingzhou, he added solemnly, "No matter how poor our mansion is, we will never do anything treacherous. You were so determined to marry this bitch, but now you've ruined her innocence and want to abandon her. You're truly despicable. I tell you, even if this bitch is a pig, you have to carry her back to your courtyard."
Although he made the decision, the words were so harsh that Jiang Yueling felt wronged and started crying again.
Ye Wanshu wanted to laugh when she heard this, but she suppressed her smile and helped Ye Huaisu up with Gu Qingmian and walked into the house.
Seeing this, Gu Tingzhou finally expressed his stance: "I will marry her."
Hearing the sound, Ye Huaisu stopped and wanted to hear what was going on.
Gu Tingzhou said, "I have one request that I hope Father and Mother will grant. I have been disrespectful to Father and Mother and the Queen Mother, and I am ashamed to see the nobles again. I will not send wedding invitations or hold a wedding banquet, but will only observe the six rituals."
Chang choked upon hearing this: "So, isn't that taking a concubine?"
“…”
Jiang Yueling looked at Gu Tingzhou in shock, with an extremely complicated expression on her face.
This result was extremely satisfying to Gu An. If he had not been unable to persuade his son, he would not have wanted to see him degenerate into marrying a prostitute as his wife.
This unfilial son brought her back to the Duke's Mansion and ruined her innocence. He must be given an explanation. It would be best if he could take her as a concubine.
Just as he was about to leave silently, Jiang Yueling called out in dissatisfaction, "Duke."
"What else do you want?" Gu An turned around and glanced at Jiang Yueling coldly: "Don't push your luck any further."
He knew his son best. Even if he was a bastard, he wouldn't be so despicable as to defame someone else's innocence. It must have been this bitch who seduced him. He didn't want to pursue the matter because he believed that family disgrace should not be made public.
"That's settled."
After saying that, Gu An left resolutely.
