Chapter 808: My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (17)
Gu Shichu ruthlessly rejected Mingxun's request to become his disciple.
Ming Xun returned home dejected. Just after he changed his clothes, he heard that the wife of Marquis Qi Yang had sent someone to look for him, so he had to go.
"Xun'er, come here quickly and take a look at these ladies. Which one do you like? Your mother will go to that girl's family to propose marriage for you." The wife of Marquis Qi Yang waved to Ming Xun excitedly.
When Mingxun heard her words, he was confused and said, "Mother, I just broke off the engagement with the eldest daughter of Duke Anguo, and you're looking for the next one for me so soon? Aren't you afraid that the next one will be Miss Gu again?"
"Bah, don't mention that shameless thing to me! The eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion actually had an affair with someone in her fiancé's house! This is a deliberate humiliation to you and our family! If it weren't for her father, I would never let her go. It would be a good thing for her to break off the engagement with her. She should have been allowed to become a nun..." The wife of Marquis Qi Yang was furious when she thought of Gu Shiyao. She hated the woman who cheated on her son and made him suffer the ridicule of outsiders. She wanted to tear Gu Shiyao apart with her bare hands.
Ming Xun touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, but soon he became righteous again. After all, if Gu Shiyao had not wanted to frame him and Gu Shichu first, it would have been impossible for him and Gu Shichu to take advantage of her. So Gu Shiyao deserved it, and he did not need to feel guilty at all.
Madam Qi Yanghou was still scolding Gu Shiyao: "... She is really causing great harm to others! Not only is she undisciplined and in love with someone else, but she also has to have an affair in our house. It's really disgusting. I am so disgusted that I want to raze the yard to the ground..."
"Mom, this is not necessary..." Mingxun said dryly. No wonder he felt that there was some noise in the mansion recently. It turned out that the house was being demolished.
"Shut up! Look at you. You have been a playboy since you were young. The older you get, the more you become. You are good at eating, drinking and having fun. You have ruined your reputation! I can't even find a good girl for you with a good family background, a gentle personality and good manners. The girls from good families don't like you at all. I had to sacrifice my old face to find girls who can accept you. Hurry up and choose one for me among them!" Madam Qi Yanghou glared at Ming Xun and said.
Ming Xun just felt a headache. He only wanted to worship the mysterious master as his master. He was very depressed and sad because he couldn't convince Gu Shichu. How could he think about getting married? After getting married, he wanted a woman to control him? He didn't want to suffer for himself! In fact, after breaking off the engagement with Gu Shiyao, he was glad that he didn't have to get married early, but he didn't expect his mother to find a backup candidate for him so quickly.
"Mom! Your son is still young, why are you in such a hurry to get married? You and dad were just in their prime. If you like children, why don't you just have another one yourself? By the way! If you really want to have a grandson, you can urge your second brother!" Ming Xun said without any loyalty.
The wife of Marquis Qiyang was furious at his words: "Asshole! How dare you use your father and me to make trouble? I regret giving birth to you, this evil creature, and I want to have another one? Humph, I want to live longer! Your second brother is younger than you, he is not in a hurry, don't try to divert the blame..."
Ming Xun was being scolded by the wife of Marquis Qi Yang. He was trying hard to find a way to make his mother give up the idea of finding a wife for him, when suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in his mind!
He couldn't become the disciple of the mysterious master, so why didn't he marry the disciple of the mysterious master? In this way, as the husband of the disciple, wouldn't he be able to ask for favors and become the disciple through the back door?
Even if it doesn't work, it's still related to the mysterious master, right? Can't he ask the master to give him some pointers?
The more Mingxun thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was great. He was so excited that his handsome face turned red. He said to the Marquis excitedly, "Mom! If you insist on me getting married, then I will marry Gu San!"
"Which Gu San?" Madam Qiyanghou was too happy that her son had changed his mind and got married to start wondering again. There was nothing she could do. Gu Shichu's presence was indeed a little weak. Madam Qiyanghou really couldn't remember her for a while. She only had a deep impression of the surname "Gu". "Could it be another girl from the Anguo family?"
The Marquis's wife asked in fear and trepidation, because because of Gu Shiyao, she no longer had a good impression of the girls in the Anguo Mansion.
"Mother, you are so smart. She is the girl from the Anguo Duke's Mansion. She is the daughter of Anguo Duke's half-brother who died long ago. In other words, she is his niece." Ming Xun introduced her to the Marquis's wife in a proud manner.
"No!" The Marquis's face darkened when she heard what he said, and she refused without hesitation, "Our family doesn't want to have anything to do with the Anguo Mansion anymore. The girls in their family have bad character. They have a sister who can have an affair with a man in her fiancé's house. How can that Gu San be a good person? Moreover, he is only the niece of the Anguo Duke, and he has no father or mother. His status and position are far different from yours. How can he be worthy of you?"
Even if her son was a bit of a dandy, he was still the heir of the Qiyang Marquis's mansion and would inherit the title after her husband died. But what about Gu Shichu? She was just the empty title of the niece of the Duke of Anguo. The fact that she hadn't even thought of her just now was enough to show that the Duke of Anguo didn't think much of her niece. Otherwise, how could a girl of marriageable age have no reputation? This was enough to show that her position in the Duke of Anguo's mansion was insignificant.
If she was the daughter of Duke Anguo's biological brother, the blood relationship would be closer, and Duke Anguo would take better care of her. But she was the daughter of his half-brother, so it was good enough that Duke Anguo let her live. After all, in most families, the relationship between the biological sons and the half-brothers is hostile and competitive. How good could the relationship between Duke Anguo and his half-brother be?
The wife of Marquis Qi Yang immediately thought of a lot of things, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she could not agree to her son's proposal.
Ming Xun didn't know what his mother was thinking, and he spoke up for Gu Shichu: "Mom, Gu San and her eldest cousin are not the same kind of people. The relationship between them has never been good. She is like an invisible person in the Anguo Mansion. The vulgar character of those people in the Anguo Mansion cannot affect her. She... is quite interesting..."
The wife of Marquis Qiyang was very determined: "I don't care whether she has a good relationship with Miss Gu or not. Anyway, she is from the Anguo Mansion, so I will not agree to you marrying her."
"Mother! I will marry no one else in this life! I will not marry anyone else except her. If you think I will never be able to find a wife in my life, then just go ahead and object!" Ming Xun's rebellious heart suddenly came up, and he stiffened his neck to argue with Madam Hou.
But in fact, he didn't really "love" Gu Shichu in his heart. He was just bluffing, thinking that it would be best if he could marry Gu Shichu. After all, it didn't matter who he married. If he couldn't marry her, he could still use Gu Shichu as an excuse not to get married. He could attack or defend. It was really great. He couldn't help but be proud of himself for coming up with this wonderful idea.
