She was horrified and stood in front of Kou Mingxue.
Her son had become like that, and she only had one daughter left, and she absolutely could not lose her again.
"What do you, a woman, know? Xue'er has agreed. Do you, as a mother, have to stop her? Isn't this hindering Xue'er's happiness? Don't be ungrateful!"
Just when they were about to succeed, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway. Marquis Changping looked unhappy and cursed back.
Kou Mingxue also echoed and agreed eagerly.
"Yes, mother, although His Royal Highness has deep feelings for Gu Yunni, if she is gone, will he also fall in love with someone else? As long as my daughter stays in the Prince's Mansion, she will have a chance sooner or later. Please give her a chance."
Her eyes were full of greed, which made the wife of Marquis Changping anxious.
Just as he was about to explain himself, he was interrupted by the Marquis of Changping.
"Xue'er is right to think so. You are beautiful and gentle. How could Sheng Mingyu be so blind as to dislike you? Don't worry, as long as you marry into the Prince's Mansion, your father will fully support you."
"Thank you, father!"
The Marquis of Changping continued to seduce her. His wife watched the two of them going back and forth and completely collapsed. However, she could not get a word in and could only stand by and worry.
"Okay, Xue'er, since Dad has agreed to your request, you should go back and rest. Your mother may not understand the reason behind this, so Dad will help you convince her."
"Yes." Seeing that Kou Mingxue believed it without a doubt, Marquis Changping was extremely happy and thought of a reason to send the man away.
At this time, Kou Mingxue had already lost her mind and did not realize what was wrong. She nodded and left the wife of Marquis Changping alone in the room.
When the door was closed, the atmosphere in the study was eerily quiet.
"Didn't you just say you'd cooperate with me to save An'er's life? Why did you jump out and refute my suggestion the moment I made it? Do you realize that a random word from you could cost An'er his life? Can you use some brains?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Marquis Changping couldn't help but lose his temper.
Since you have to give up one of the two children, can't you tell which one is more important?
"My Lord, do you have a heart? Sending Xue'er away when she was little was fine, but now after finally bringing her back, you're letting her die. Isn't she your child?"
The wife of the Marquis of Changping could not bear the sudden change of the Marquis of Changping. She burst into tears and her tone was full of disbelief.
Her voice was broken from shouting. Is this still the man she once loved deeply?
"Of course I feel sorry for Xue'er. She's my biological daughter, but you gave up Xue'er when she was little to save An'er. Why are you suddenly regretting it now? What did you do in the past?"
Marquis Changping was very calm. No matter how his wife cried in front of him, his expression never changed.
He looked the same from beginning to end, which made the wife of Marquis Changping tremble with fear.
"But don't we have any other way to save An'er? Do we have to sacrifice Xue'er? Xue'er finally came back to me. Can you let me compensate her and let her live a stable life for a while longer?"
When she heard her son's name, she also became weak.
But the pain in her heart was still unbearable. She just wanted to protect both children. Was it really that difficult?
"There's no other way. If Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu are allowed to marry, she will never leave the Prince's Mansion again in her life. She will only be related to the royal family. How can you dare to challenge His Majesty and the Prince?"
Marquis Changping seemed to have lost all his strength. He collapsed in his chair and shook his head helplessly.
There were already few children around him, and he could no longer bear seeing them give up one after another.
But in order to protect his most important son, he had to do this.
"My Lord..." The wife of Marquis Changping cried heartbreakingly.
Marquis Changping felt soft-hearted for a moment, stood up from his seat and held her in his arms.
"I know you can't let go of your daughter, but what about your son? He's suffered for so many years, and now there's hope. You can't let me give up. Just this once, I promise I'll never abandon anyone again."
His tone was gentle, and he tried his best to comfort her.
The wife of Marquis Changping's mood gradually stabilized. She leaned in Marquis Changping's arms, absorbing the rare tenderness.
"After this matter is settled, the two of us can live a good life, okay? My son can do whatever he wants. There will be no more accidents in the Marquisate in the future. He will definitely be able to keep his title of Marquis. My son has a bright future."
The beautiful blueprint outlined by the Marquis of Changping was so attractive that his wife could not help but nod in agreement.
Isn't it just a daughter? At worst, I can just give her up. As long as it can buy her a stable life for the rest of her life, nothing else matters.
"Okay, don't be sad anymore. I'll help you to the bed next to you to rest. You must be very tired today. I see you look very pale. The doctor also told you to take good care of yourself. If you don't take good care of yourself, how are you going to live a good life in the future?"
Marquis Changping was still gentle. They had been married for many years, and he had not been so tender for a long time.
"Very well, thank you, my Lord. It's all my fault for not understanding the rules these past few days, causing you endless trouble. Don't worry, my Lord. I will never do anything wrong again. I will definitely make you look good in front of His Majesty and restore the honor of the Marquisate."
The sweet words of Marquis Changping made his wife dizzy.
Looking at this face that was old but still handsome, she was willing to make herself a fool.
Back then, the Marquis of Changping was the object of pursuit by all the women in the capital. She must have been quite capable to be able to stand out among them.
"Alas, we have been married for so many years. Whatever you have done wrong, can I really hold it against you? I just hope you can be more sober in the future and not cause trouble. It is not easy for me to be in front of His Majesty."
The two sat on the bed and talked to each other from the heart. No matter what Changping Hou said, his wife nodded.
Looking back on the past, she felt that it was all her fault.
"Oh, my father-in-law will be back soon. Don't go up to him and say anything inappropriate just because you're unhappy. If he picks on me, His Majesty will be even more displeased."
The wife of Marquis Changping was in a state of confusion, but Marquis Changping remained clear-headed.
Seeing that there was a chance, he immediately put forward another condition.
The wife of the Marquis of Changping thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"I am your only daughter, and I only hope that I will live a happy life. As long as the Marquis treats me well, I will ask you to help me and will not cause you any trouble."
"Don't worry, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
Marquis Changping agreed without hesitation.
She also smiled happily, and the two of them rolled together unknowingly.
The housekeeper wanted to go in and report something, but when he heard the lewd sounds coming from inside, his old face turned red.
The Marquis of Changping is already quite old, why is he still doing this kind of thing in his study?
Even if you want to favor a woman, you should go to the backyard.
