Chapter 55
Chapter 55 – Do You Care About Others?
Chapter 55 Do you have thoughts for others?
But she actually wanted to call off the engagement? Gu’s mother was not worried, and felt that Jiang Changning didn’t know good from bad. Now thinking of her background, it seems that she has caught the wrong place.
“The marriage of the two families was originally decided by you and me after passing the eyes of Lord Hou and Lord Guo. Now as long as you and I have no problem, it is not difficult. As for the rumors of the people, I don’t think Mrs. Gu is either. People who will be swayed by rumors, there are so many things about your love and I would like to break up, why can’t it fall in the Hou’s mansion and the Duke’s mansion? Besides, Mrs. Gu might as well ask Xiu Jing about the marriage contract. Maybe he has other ideas?”
This is to point out that Gu Xiujing has a second heart. Gu’s mother is unhappy. Being divorced by the Hou’s family will definitely affect Xiujing’s reputation. Those who don’t know think there is something wrong with Xiujing.
“If the Hou Mansion wants to dissolve the engagement wholeheartedly, it’s not impossible. The Duke’s Mansion must let the Duke’s Mansion resign from the Marquis Mansion’s relatives.”
“No.” Mother Jiang refused without even thinking about it. Changning was divorced by Xiu Jing and her reputation was damaged. How can she marry in the future? !
The two insisted on their own opinions and were at a stalemate.
Knowing that this resignation might be fruitless, Mother Jiang held her breath and bid farewell.
They broke up unhappy, and as soon as Mother Jiang left, Mrs. Gu let go of her aggressive look just now, and summoned someone to call Gu Xiujing.
When the servant came to call, Gu Xiujing was holding a book and leaning against the outside of the study, with a dull expression, his eyes didn’t fall on the book, but he was in a daze.
Since the flower boat exploded on that day and Jiang Changning fell into the water and fell into a coma, Gu Xiujing was a little flustered for several days. He kept recalling what happened that day in his mind, and was flustered that he mistakenly thought that something happened to Jiang Changning.
He knew about Jiang Mu’s coming to the mansion early in the morning, but he didn’t expect her to leave so soon. When he followed the servants to Gu Mu’s place, he was still guessing about Jiang Mu’s coming.
“The Hou Mansion wants to dissolve the engagement?”
Gu Xiujing frowned, and repeated what Gu’s mother had told him in disbelief.
“That’s true. During the Lantern Festival, I asked you to go to Changning to go with me, but what happened?” Gu’s mother was also puzzled.
Gu Xiujing couldn’t tell what kind of mood he was in, obviously he had long thought of retiring the engagement, but now he felt a little uncomfortable hearing what the Hou Fu meant.
“It’s just the same as the lantern viewing, what can be unpleasant.” Gu Xiujing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and the knuckles of his fingers pinching the book turned white.
Everything that happened on the flower boat must not be told to Gu’s mother. Gu’s mother has an impulsive personality. It would have been fine if the Jiang family hadn’t come to divorce the engagement, but now the divorce has happened again. In order to protect her reputation, Gu’s mother did not dare to say anything about Yan Wang, but she never said that she dared not say anything about Jiang Changning.
Gu Fu naturally didn’t dare to want a girl who was involved with other men before she got married.
What is Jiang Changning doing? Doesn’t she know what divorce means to a woman?
Gu Xiujing’s heart was in a mess, and Gu’s mother’s words caught him by surprise.
In the past, he spent a lot of thought to change Gu’s mother’s attachment to this marriage, but now that Gu’s mother really came to let him make up her mind, Gu Xiujing didn’t feel any joy in her heart.
“What did mother say?” Since Gu’s mother came to find her specially, it proves that there is still room for turning around this matter.
“What else can I say?” Gu’s mother snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied: “At the beginning, I saw that the Jiang family was not bad, but I didn’t know that they were all black-hearted. I wanted to divorce, but let us bear the reputation of being divorced Back then when the girl was wrongly held in her house, the whole capital was waiting to see my jokes in Gu’s house, why did I say nothing about this marriage?”
As soon as this was mentioned, Gu’s mother became emotional again. She gritted her teeth hard, her chest heaving.
The mother-in-law behind poured a glass of water for her, and Gu’s mother drank it in one gulp, suppressing the fire before continuing: “Since her Jiang family is unkind, don’t blame us for being unrighteous. It’s fine if you want to annul the engagement, but even if you want to annul this marriage, it’s fine.” We have to retreat from the Gu family. If Xiujing is an official in the future, you must not lose your reputation in this matter.”
The official career is difficult, and the situation above the court is even more changing.
If Gu Xiujing really made it to that point, even a trivial matter like retiring the engagement would become a source of impeachment for others.
Not to mention, the Jiang family divorced, wouldn’t others say that there was something wrong with Xiu Jing?
Mother Gu must be extremely careful in this matter.
Seeing Gu Xiujing’s expression was disturbed, Gu’s mother sighed and continued: “You grew up with Jiang Changning anyway, and I came here to ask you if you really have no other thoughts about other girls.”
If you are interested, Mother Gu is willing to talk to Mother Jiang again. If she’s not in the mood, then she doesn’t mind taking someone to Jiang’s mother’s house tomorrow to confirm the divorce.
People only want to believe what they see. No matter who proposed the divorce first, as long as people from Gu’s family went to Jiang’s house, it means that Gu’s family was unwilling to marry Jiang’s house again.
This matter is a problem with the Jiang family girl, and has nothing to do with Xiu Jing.
