The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

Practice martial arts.

Gu Huai's face was flushed, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the collar of his clothes was slightly wet, sticking to his honey-colored skin.

After Yu's surprise, she walked forward with concern and took out her handkerchief to wipe Gu Huai's forehead.

"Kid, why did you suddenly run to the backyard to practice martial arts? You really scared me!"

"You don't even care about your own health. What if you get a heat stroke?"

Yu blamed him, but her tone did not hide her joy at all.

In the past, Huai'er was very disgusted with martial arts and neglected them for five years, refusing to practice with a spear or a stick no matter what.

I don't know what happened today, but I started to work hard again.

The Marquis stroked the long black goatee on his chin and looked at Gu Huai with a pair of gratified eyes.

He was very happy to see the change in Gu Huai. He was finally not as decadent and lifeless as before.

Hearing Yu's words, the Marquis's face immediately hardened. He raised his head and glanced at the bright blue sky. "It's only been a short time in the morning, and you want him to stop practicing."

"Do you know how long he has been practicing? Has he been lazy and started practicing only after seeing us coming? Let him rest?"

"It is because of you, his mother, that he has developed a lazy character. He doesn't study hard and doesn't practice martial arts well. Other children have already made great achievements, but he is neither high nor low."

Yu stopped talking in dismay, her eyelids drooping.

The Marquis stood with his hands behind his back, and said to Gu Huai, "You won't practice today and not practice tomorrow, will you? If you fish for three days and dry the net for two days, I advise you to give up as soon as possible and don't do it here for us to see."

"Husband, how can you say that about Huai'er?" Yu stretched her neck and spoke indignantly for Gu Huai.

"You always say this about him. He is your son. Huai'er is definitely not like this."

"Oh, so what if he's my son? It's better to not have a son than to raise a useless piece of junk!"

"I have already been looking for a man of similar age in the clan. If he is suitable, I will bring him to the Marquis' Mansion for training."

Yu opened her mouth in shock. She put her hand over her mouth, looking unacceptable. "My Lord, you...you..."

The Marquis stared at Gu Huai sharply, "From childhood to adulthood, I have given him many opportunities."

"If he wasn't useless, why would I want to adopt someone else's son? How can I hand over the huge family business of the Marquis' Mansion to him if he is like this?"

"If I leave it to him, I'm afraid we will be defeated very quickly. I'm afraid I will be pissed off to death if the military merits I've earned through so many years of fighting and risking my life are wasted by a loser like him."

Yu didn't dare to speak, but just listened quietly to the marquis's scolding.

At this moment, he was very angry. If she spoke up for Huai'er, it would definitely backfire.

This is what she is most worried about.

The Marquis no longer places his hopes on Huai'er, but instead supports a man outside his family. In that case, wouldn't it be Huai'er who will inherit his title in the future?

Yu was deeply worried about Gu Huai.

Gu Huai pursed his lips and lowered his head humbly.

In his father's eyes, he is a waste, no matter how hard he tries.

At this moment, he unconsciously put down the spear in his hand, feeling increasingly powerless.

Seeing that Gu Huai was gradually losing his energy, the Marquis mocked, "You are really just pretending to be good to us. Just now you were exerting all your strength, but now you don't even want to pretend to be good to us."

"This is the good news you told me! Are you and your son teaming up to make me happy?"

"You really raised a good son."

"My Lord, how can you think of Huai'er like this?" Yu said with sobs, "Huai'er, he is not like that."

Yu couldn't bear this humiliation and tears fell one by one.

Gu Huai simply put down the spear in his hand. He slammed the spear into the ground with a "thump". Dirt and debris flew everywhere, and a shallow pit was poked out on the ground.

Gu Huai looked forward.

He did not defend himself or say a word.

The father and son were in a stalemate.

Lin Qianqian bit her lower lip, and her pearly teeth left a line of shallow teeth marks on her rosy lips.

She twisted her clenched sleeves into a ball, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward, "My Lord, the prince has been practicing here for a long time. I have been with him since early morning. He didn't pretend to do it for you, he just practiced for a long time and was exhausted, so he was a little tired."

The Marquis was about to leave, but Lin Qianqian suddenly spoke, and he turned and looked at Lin Qianqian.

I found that the woman in front of me was young and beautiful, with a slim and graceful figure, and she looked somewhat familiar.

Yu was shocked that Lin Qianqian actually spoke for Huai'er.

Gu Huai also looked at Lin Qianqian. She actually came out to defend herself at this time, and her mother didn't even say anything for her.

Lin Qianqian raised her hand and gently wiped away the thin layer of sweat on her neck. "It's hot. I feel like I can't exert any strength. I feel groggy and tired all the time. I just stood for a while and I felt so hot. Besides, the prince has been practicing martial arts and has consumed a lot of energy."

"Really?" asked the Marquis.

Lin Qianqian nodded affirmatively, "Really? Look at you, Lord Marquis. How could the Madam and the Prince team up to deceive you? What good is there in deceiving you? And whether it's studying or practicing martial arts, if you don't practice well, isn't that just deceiving yourself? What good is there in deceiving yourself?"

The Marquis looked carefully at Lin Qianqian's peaceful face for a moment.

He didn't say anything else, but just breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yu heard this, she felt much better. She thought that Aunt Lin was sensible.

"The prince is not a waste, and he will not ruin the Marquis's Mansion."

Lin Qianqian's words made the three people look at her at the same time.

She was not afraid of the Marquis at all, but aligned her gaze with his and said sincerely and seriously, "Perhaps the prince just hasn't found something that suits him yet, so he behaves a little mediocre."

"He is definitely not the waste that the Marquis said. I wonder if the Marquis has ever heard of the saying, 'Given my talent, it will be useful', and 'Teach students in accordance with their aptitude'. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Only by making the best use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses can they become talented."

"Oh?" The Marquis frowned, "Are you saying I'm wrong?"

"Be bold!"

"How dare you, a mere concubine, speak to me like that!"

Yu was startled.

She covered her pounding chest, not knowing what she was thinking of. Her panicked face looked a little at a loss. She looked around, as if looking for something to rely on.

Lin Qianqian met his stern gaze, his eyes as sharp as the sun.

Instead, she took two steps forward, getting closer to the Marquis.

These two steps surprised Yu and she blinked her eyes continuously.

Gu Huai stared at Lin Qianqian's shoes moving forward under her skirt and swallowed.

These two steps were steps he never dared to take.

Lin Qianqian said, "I didn't say that the Marquis was wrong, I just think that the prince's strengths should not be buried by his weaknesses. The Marquis seems to only see his weaknesses and magnify them all. Isn't this the case that he can't see the prince's strengths? I am reminding the Marquis."
