Gu Hong's nonchalant voice successfully made the matchmaker's face turn pale.
The country woman had no idea how high Gu Hong's official position was, she just knew that he was a man with a knife.
"General Gu, why do you think Yu Xiucai is bad? Yu Xiucai doesn't need to abandon his wife and children to go to the battlefield like you did. If you marry Yu Xiucai, you can just enjoy a lifetime of peace and happiness!"
Matchmaker Zhang was telling the truth, "I, an old woman, have also watched Madam Shen come this far. Wasn't Gu Hong also very powerful back then?"
She sneered, "Gu Hong alone can be as good as three grown men. When Madam Shen married Gu Hong, wasn't it envied by many people? But look at how Madam Shen is doing now."
"Aunt Zhang..."
Shen Ningsi felt helpless. Gu Hong had helped bury her father, so she should have married him to pay off the debt. According to the original owner's original idea, marrying Gu Hong would also bring her a lifetime of happiness.
Who could have expected that war would break out suddenly and Gu Hong would be drafted into the army?
"Since I've married Gu Hong, I have no regrets. Good or bad, I deserve it."
"Oh, my dear Madam Shen! Why are you so stubborn? You have to support the two little guys you gave birth to. Aunt Zhang won't persuade you any more, but why do you take the responsibility of Xiuwen and the others on yourself?"
Aunt Zhang was so angry that she slapped her thigh. "Madam Shen, listen to Aunt Zhang's advice and don't listen to General Gu's nonsense. Scholar Yu is willing to accept you and your two children. He also promised that he would never leave you. This is a good marriage!"
Gu Hong was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword, but fortunately Sanyazi was paying attention to Gu Hong's actions all the time.
He quickly held down Gu Hong's hand and said, "General, you can't use the knife."
Don’t move!
Gu Hong waved his sleeves, and the murderous aura seemed to turn into reality.
"What kind of person is Yu Xiucai? He thinks he's showing mercy by letting Gu marry him with her two children?"
An An and Kang Kang were his biological children, the great-grandsons of the great general who defended the country! What was he to the scholar?
Matchmaker Zhang was so frightened by this momentum that she shrank her neck, but the next moment she straightened her back.
"Well, what else can we do? Yu Xiucai also wants to have his own bloodline with Madam Shen. An An and Kang Kang still have Madam Shen's blood flowing in their bodies. Even if Xiu Wen and the others are promising, they are not Madam Shen's children!"
Matchmaker Zhang grumbled, "Mrs. Shen is carrying all these burdens, and only Scholar Yu doesn't mind."
Shen Ningsi felt that his head was too big.
She didn't think it was a reliable thing to entrust the future of the people she cared about to others. An An and Kang Kang were her flesh and blood, and she didn't trust Yu Xiucai to help take care of them.
It was just that Matchmaker Zhang came over specially and even had an argument with Gu Sanshui about it, which made Shen Ningsi feel bad.
"Aunt Zhang, I've decided to remain a widow for Gu Hong. Please stop trying to persuade me."
Instead of telling matchmaker Zhang that she was worried about Yu Xiucai, she would have said that she was deeply in love with Gu Hong.
It would be extremely difficult to change Zhang the matchmaker's opinion of the scholar, but it would be a very simple thing to make Zhang the matchmaker think that he was a foolish woman who was infatuated with love.
Shen Ningsi stood up and said word by word: "Gu Hong is my first man. I, Shen Ningsi, will never betray Gu Hong in this life."
She turned around without any warning, and sure enough, there were several pairs of eyes in the corner.
Ana Shen smiled soothingly, "I took care of these children out of responsibility at first, because they were Gu Hong's children. Now, I have regarded them as my own children."
"If they call me mother, I will protect them my whole life. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will never be afraid and will never let go of their hands."
The woman was obviously thin and extremely pale, but when she said these words calmly, there was only tenacity in Shen Ningsi's eyes.
Gu Hong was stunned. The moment he came to his senses, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
"Gu? Have you really made up your mind?"
They had only been together for a few days, but Shen Ningsi had fallen so deeply in love with him?
Gu Hong felt that the depressed feeling in his heart during this period disappeared instantly, and there was even tenderness in his eyes that he himself did not notice.
Ana Shen straightened his back and said, "Yes, I have decided."
Anyway, Gu Hong is dead, and he is now just a brick, moving wherever he is useful. As long as she can use Gu Hong to shut up those who introduce men to her, Shen Ningsi feels that she can act like she has to have Gu Hong!
“Madam Shen!”
Yu Xiucai's face was pale, and he stumbled in, "Madam Shen, think twice."
The man's hoarse voice made Shen Ningsi stunned. She looked towards the door. She saw Yu Xiucai wearing a sky-blue cloth shirt. Although it had been washed and turned slightly white, it was not difficult to see that it was a good piece of clothing for meeting guests.
Meeting Shen Ningsi's eyes, Yu Xiucai stood still somewhat awkwardly.
“Please forgive me, Madam Shen. I should have asked Matchmaker Zhang about your thoughts before I came to your house, but I was worried that something might happen, so I stood outside.”
Shen Ningsi sighed softly, and she bowed to Yu Xiucai, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Yu Xiucai forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's normal for Madam Shen to be worried about Wen Ge'er and the others. You are a kind-hearted person who values friendship."
"I didn't think it through. What if I'm willing to raise a few children with Madam Shen?"
Ana Shen was stunned.
For a scholar, saying such words was really shocking. She saw Yu Xiucai's face flushed, but he still didn't show a trace of regret, and she already understood his determination.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Ana Shen sighed and leaned down again.
This time, Shen Ningsi didn't look at him again. She didn't stand up until she heard the courtyard door closed.
Matchmaker Zhang sighed deeply. "Girl, what can I say about you? How could Gu Hong be worthy of this?"
"Aunt Zhang~"
Shen Ningsi just called out in a lowered voice.
Matchmaker Zhang couldn't bear to glare at Shen Ningsi, so she could only vent all her anger on Gu Hong.
"All of you soldiers are like one! I don't know what your relationship is with that deadbeat Gu Hong. It's hard for you to help him so much and even deliberately make his wife a widow!"
Matchmaker Zhang said this and left angrily. She felt a headache just by looking at General Gu!
In the yard.
Being insulted by an ordinary woman, Gu Hong curled his lips slightly, "Gu, I didn't expect that you actually thought this way in your heart."
Gu Hong felt that Shen Ningsi was a good person in every way, except that what he thought in his heart was completely different from what he showed.
If matchmaker Zhang hadn't come to his house, he wouldn't have known that this woman was deeply in love with him!
