Gu Yunfei knew that sooner or later, they would come after him.
Sure enough, they didn't let him go.
He didn't know what these people's motives were.
Princess Qingning was merely the daughter of a leisurely prince, and in Gu Yunfei's view, there was nothing about her that could be exploited.
This time, however, he had nowhere to retreat.
The Emperor's decree has been issued, and even the Prince of Xiang dares not disobey it. It is a foregone conclusion that he will become the Prince Consort.
This marriage was destined to be a power transaction, and he was just a pawn in it.
Back home, Gu Yunfei began packing his things; the Emperor had ordered them to get married as soon as possible.
The Prince of Xiang said he didn't need to prepare anything; he just needed to go to the princess's residence on the appointed day.
His heart was unusually heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing down on it.
The Prince of Xiang was also dissatisfied with this marriage.
Gu Yunfei felt as if he were being packaged up and sent to marry into another family.
However, the term "son-in-law" sounds nice, but it is indeed a marriage into the family.
My mother came in while I was tidying up my clothes.
The mother was overjoyed to see that her son was finally getting married.
Although she didn't have a daughter-in-law marry into the family like others, as long as her son was doing well, Gu's mother was happier than anyone else.
In recent years, some wealthy families have wanted to marry their daughters to their sons, but the sons are stubborn and refuse to marry and have children.
Fortunately, her son is now marrying a princess, and she won't be far from having a grandson.
Gu Yunfei's eyes instantly reddened when he saw his mother, despite her illness, still trying to help him tidy his clothes.
The mother touched her son's face and said, "Getting married is a joyous occasion; you should be happy."
"Mother! Your son is not by your side, so you must take your medicine and eat well."
Suddenly he felt like he was a terrible person.
His mother worked so hard to raise him, and now she's just leaving him here, unable to be by his side to fulfill her filial duties.
His mother sensed his predicament. "Don't worry about me. There are so many people in the family. Just focus on living a good life with the princess, and I'll be happy. You need to be good to her and not make her angry."
"Um!"
Gu Yunfei dared not look at his mother again.
If his mother had known that he was going to harm the princess, she would have done everything in her power to stop the marriage.
Gu Yunfei bit his lip tightly, not wanting his mother to see his bloodshot eyes.
Although life was poor in the past, at least in those mountains, there were no conspiracies or tricks.
He can be by his mother's side to fulfill his filial duties.
Now, his mother has become a tool for others to blackmail him.
I wonder what he will have to face in the future?
