The Duke of Rong calmed down. He found that he was easily angered lately. He understood what Xie was saying, but he just couldn't stand seeing his grandson chasing after such a girl.
He admitted that Gu Nian was a good person, but he still felt that their statuses were somewhat mismatched. Among the four great duke mansions in the capital, their Rongguo Duke mansion was the most prominent.
Gu Nian is just the daughter of a mere scholar; why should she ignore the heir of the Rongguo Duke's mansion?
Seeing that the Duke of Rongguo had calmed down, Madam Xie smiled and said, "Master, take your time, don't rush. Muyan is only seventeen years old, he has a long life ahead of him! If you get anxious and angry, his condition will worsen, and I will go with you. Then there will be no one to take care of Muyan. At that time, our Duke's Mansion will be at the mercy of Gu Nian, won't it?"
Duke Rongguo took a deep breath: "Madam, you are right. I will keep my composure and wait until we return to the capital before making any further decisions."
Li Shan, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
Very good, fainting in Li Muyan's courtyard really worked.
It seems that not only does the Duke of Rong look down on Gu Nian, but the Xie family does too!
Then she'll be even more determined to bring the two together; the sweeter they are now, the more heartbreaking it will be later.
Ha, Gu Nian, in your past life you could wield power in Xue Qianyu's inner quarters, let's see how you wield power in the Rongguo Duke's mansion in this life. Oh, right, you probably won't even be able to get in.
Li Shan finally fell asleep happily.
...
It was already evening when the Gu family returned to Sanchakou Village.
In the courtyard of the old house, Grandpa Huo and Grandpa Gu were playing chess. The brothers Gu En and Gu Ren sat in a row, watching them play chess very seriously.
"Hey, we won!" The carriage arrived at the old house, and Old Master Huo's voice came from the courtyard.
"Wow! Grandpa Huo, you finally beat my grandpa! That was really hard-won!" Gu En exclaimed.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Gu Ren clapped her hands.
"Grandfather, this isn't the first time you've won in the last few days, is it?!" Huo Yanyu ran in, gloating.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Everyone in your Grandpa Gu's family is a master. Quickly call him, this is your Grandpa Gu!" Old Master Huo glared at Huo Yanyu, then introduced him.
"Greetings, Grandpa Gu! I am Huo Yanyu, a young girl who is trying her best to become your goddaughter. Grandpa Gu, you must help me!" Huo Yanyu bowed to Grandpa Gu and then said sincerely.
Grandpa Gu: "...Alright, alright. But what about this goddaughter?"
Huo Yanyu turned around and pointed to Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian, who were carrying things into the house: "Grandpa Gu, I want to be their goddaughter, will you allow it? I will be very obedient."
Gu Ren stretched out his chubby little hands: "Sister, hug me!"
The prodigy's younger sister is also a prodigy; come and share in her intelligence!
Huo Yanyu looked at the round and chubby Gu Ren, hesitated for a moment before picking him up.
Unlike the Gu sisters, who inherited strength and exercised regularly, she was a genuinely delicate little girl. Gu Ren had fed her so much that she almost couldn't hold her.
Gu Ren hugged Huo Yanyu's neck tightly, thank goodness.
Huo Yanyu: "Wow! You're so heavy, little brother! You're so handsome!"
Gu Ren spat out a saliva bubble and gave Huo Yanyu a kiss on the cheek.
Gu Nian happened to see this scene. Well, Gu Erdan probably thought the girl was pretty and knew she was smart!
This little pervert, as the original author, Gu Ren probably liked Huo Yanyu the most. She was beautiful, intelligent, from a good family, and had a great personality. She was his ideal type. Unfortunately, he was born ten years too late.
