Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

Time passed by in a flash, and over the years the old lady watched coldly as her son was gradually won over by Wu Meir.

Moreover, because he had repeatedly proposed to marry Wu Meir as his principal wife, and after being rejected by me, he became more and more impatient with me. It was only out of filial piety that he came to pay his respects every day.

However, the old lady was impatient to see Wu Meir, and her son always talked about making Wu Meir his principal wife, so she told Gu Yuan directly that he didn't need to come every day, but only came to visit her on the first and fifteenth of every month.

Before, the old lady did not stop Nan'an Marquis Gu Yuan from coming to her house, because she thought that as Gu Yichen was his legitimate son, she would always have a special affection for him. But who knew that in Gu Yuan's heart, he seemed to have forgotten the son his legitimate wife gave birth to at the risk of her life for him, and only had Gu Yiqiao, born to Wu Meir, in his heart.

He directly bypassed the old lady and made Wu Meir his legal wife. When the old lady found out about all this, it was already too late. Everything was set in stone and could not be changed.

Seeing all this, the old lady could only sigh deeply. Now all she could do was to protect Gu Yichen's position as the crown prince.

As spring passed and autumn came, the little Gu Yichen grew up slowly. Although he had the protection of the old lady, he still suffered many disasters under the deliberate persecution of Wu Meir, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion.

It's just because Wu Meir wanted to pave the way for her son. In her heart, the Marquis' Mansion can only belong to her son. However, as the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Yichen is both the eldest and the legitimate son. Unless there are any major mistakes, the position of the Marquis should be inherited by him.

Knowing this, how could Wu Meir let the position of the Marquis's Prince, which was within her grasp, be given to Shu Yueyi's son?

So during the years when Gu Yichen was growing up, she tried every way to lead Gu Yichen astray, but she failed. Instead, she was warned by the old lady because she was too impatient.

Later, Wu Meir decided to go all out and bribed the servant to push Gu Yichen into the pool, trying to make it look like he slipped and fell into the water, but fortunately Gu Yichen was on guard and did not fall into the trap.

There have been countless such incidents over the years.

For the sake of Gu Yichen's safety and to ensure that he would be able to inherit the Marquis' Mansion in the future, the old lady sacrificed her dignity and sought help from Gu Yichen's maternal family, explaining Gu Yichen's situation in the Marquis' Mansion and asking them to take him to the army for training.

The old lady had no choice but to send the 13-year-old Gu Yichen to the army. Her son was completely won over by Wu Meir and didn't even listen to her. She was old, and if Gu Yichen stayed in the mansion, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents. It was better to send him to the army to give it a try.

Moreover, Gu Yichen's maternal grandfather's family started out as a military-industrial family. I think for Shu Yueyi's sake, they will take extra care of Gu Yichen. After all, no matter what, Gu Yichen has half Shu family blood in him.

As expected of a descendant of the Shu family, Gu Yichen seemed to be born to be in the army. Whether it was arranging troops or fighting the enemy, he was quite comfortable with it. He could not only accurately analyze the weaknesses of the enemy, but also adjust tactics according to the actual situation.

Moreover, when fighting in battle, he was fearless and always rushed to the front, leading the soldiers to fight bravely.

In just a few years, he had made numerous military achievements, starting from a small soldier and rising step by step. Finally, because of his numerous military exploits, he was named the General of Zhenbei by the emperor and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

Everything was going in a good direction, except for one thing: Gu Yichen's marriage.

Because Gu Yichen killed too many people on the battlefield, and once in a battle, he was accidentally stabbed in the face while trying to save his deputy, leaving a scar from his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth. He became known as a vicious person, and some even said that Gu Yichen killed people without blinking an eye.

All these rumors made Gu Yichen's marriage even more distant. When the noble ladies heard that they were going to marry Gu Yichen, they all found excuses to shirk their responsibilities. This was delayed year after year, until Gu Yichen was almost 18 years old, and his marriage was still not settled.

This made the old lady extremely anxious. After making inquiries from many sources, she finally chose Yun Miao, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue's mansion.

The old lady also inquired and learned that Yun Miao was well-educated and well-mannered, and that the Yun family's backyard was simple. The Yun couple had a harmonious relationship and lived in harmony, which had always been a good story in the capital. That's why she decided to ask for Yun Miao's hand in marriage for Gu Yichen.

As a result, the news was somehow known to Wu Mei'er. With her character, how could she be willing for Gu Yichen to choose such a favorable wife? She wished that Gu Yichen would die alone, so that the mansion would belong to her son. She was also the one who secretly spread the rumors about Gu Yichen in the capital.

So before the old lady could do so, Wu Meier directly said that Nan'an Marquis Gu Yuan had rushed to the Yun family first. Since Yun Miao had already been attracted by Gu Yiqiao's intentional relationship, the two families successfully made a marriage contract.

The old lady who was one step ahead had to give up and had to look for a suitable candidate again. At this time, the Grand Secretary's Mansion extended an olive branch to the Gu family.

The Xiao family of the Grand Secretary's Mansion also wanted to consolidate their position and enhance the family's glory through marriage. Similar to the situation in Nan'an Mansion, the Grand Secretary's Mansion was composed of pure civil officials, and there had been no powerful younger generations to take over in recent years.

Therefore, they also took a fancy to the strength behind Gu Yichen. A general who has military power and is favored by the emperor is exactly the person they urgently need to win over.

So Gu Yichen and Xiao Zhener from the Grand Secretary's Mansion also got engaged.

According to normal development, Gu Yichen and Xiao Zhener, Gu Yiqiao and Yun Miao, would live their own lives without affecting each other.

But all this changed when Xiao Zhen'er saw Gu Yichen. At first, Xiao Zhen'er was very proud of her marriage with Gu Yichen, so that she would always be superior to Yun Miao, but every time she showed off proudly in front of Yun Miao, Yun Miao ignored her, which made Xiao Zhen'er very frustrated.

At this time, another rich girl who also had a bad relationship with Xiao Zhen'er took the opportunity to mock Xiao Zhen'er when they met by chance on the street, saying that she was going to marry a man who killed people without blinking an eye, and it was said that her husband had a long scar on his face.

When Xiao Zhen'er learned about this, she naturally didn't believe it. She just thought it was a rumor spread by outsiders. However, by chance one day, she saw Gu Yichen going out, and then she realized that the man with the scar on his face was actually her future husband. How could Xiao Zhen'er, who had been arrogant and wanted to do everything the best since she was a child, accept this?
