Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

Since that day when Shen Huaizhi expressed his feelings for Gu Zhen, the two never met in the mansion again.

The time has come for the flower viewing banquet.

Just as she expected, Li Lanxun and her son planned to take advantage of this opportunity.

Get rid of Gu Zhen in one fell swoop.

Li Lanxun sent someone to deliver clothes early in the morning.

It is light and elegant without losing quality.

After all, if Gu Zhen was dressed too poorly in public, it would be embarrassing.

If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Zhen stroked the fabric and told the old woman that she would go to find Li Lanxun on time.

The old woman looked at her with disdain, knowing that this restless Miss Gu was reluctant to miss such a rare opportunity to attend the flower-viewing banquet.

She has seen many women like this, and they think they can make friends with important people and climb up the social ladder.

Little did she know that what was waiting for her might be a nightmare.

Gu Zhen changed into this outfit and planned to go and tell Qin Xiangmei about it.

When he reached the door of the main house, he was stopped by Qin Xiangmei's maid.

"Miss Gu, the second young master is talking to the aunt, please go in later."

Gu Zhen nodded and walked away as if nothing had happened.

But she was a little confused. What did her aunt want to say behind her back?

Gu Zhen took advantage of the situation and went around to the back of the main house.

She didn't mean to listen, but she had a feeling that what they wanted to talk about was related to her.

Shen Huaining in the room looked a little flustered.

"Mother, I don't want to marry a girl from the Taifu family. I...I..."

No one knows a son better than his mother. Qin Xiangmei knew what her son was thinking.

"Huaining, mother knows that you have someone in your heart, but your father won't agree. Zhenzhen..."

She is of low status and is not worthy of being a match for the second young master of the Duke's Mansion.

But Shen Huaining didn't care and knelt on the ground.

"Mom, can you please go talk to dad? I like my cousin and I don't want to marry anyone else!"

"If you marry my cousin, you won't be bullied. Isn't it good for the three of us to be together?"

"When I pass the imperial examination and am transferred out, I will ask my father to let me take you with me. Mother, haven't you always been looking forward to leaving here?"

Qin Xiangmei was already in tears: "Son, if I could make the decision, I wouldn't have to watch your cousin being bullied."

"You know your father very well. He indulges you in small matters, but will never allow anyone to disobey him in big matters."

If Shen Jinxuan knew that his son had given up his future for Gu Zhen, he would definitely kill Gu Zhen to prevent future troubles.

Shen Huaining's shoulders suddenly slumped and he looked extremely depressed.

"Then if I marry someone else, I can still... I can still marry my cousin..."

Shen Huaining's voice became smaller and smaller, and he lost all confidence.

Qin Xiangmei was shocked by her son's words. She stood up and pointed at him, her hands shaking.

"Your mother can only be someone's concubine in this life. Do you want your cousin to repeat my mistake?"

"If you have this plan, give up as soon as possible, unless you want to watch your mother die of depression for the rest of her life!"

Shen Huaining took two steps on his knees and held Qin Xiangmei's hand: "Mother, I was wrong. I will listen to you."

Qin Xiangmei helped her son up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Huai Ning, only when you have made progress can you protect mother and cousin. Then find an ordinary family for your cousin and let her live a decent life."

Hearing this, Shen Huaining no longer dared to hold out any hope and nodded listlessly.

Gu Zhen heard it all clearly from outside the house.

She was touched by her aunt's tolerance and understanding of her.

Qin Xiangmei was really thinking about it for her.

But now she can't do anything.

Gu Zhen pretended to know nothing and went back to the front yard.

Shen Huaining was just walking out, and when he saw Gu Zhen, his heart ached.

"Cousin." Shen Huaining called Gu Zhen. He wanted to have a good talk with her.

Gu Zhen walked over with a smile, "Cousin, why haven't you gone to study today? Are you slacking off again?"

Although his cousin smiled like a flower, Shen Huaining felt uncomfortable.

I don’t know which boy will be lucky enough to marry his most gentle, beautiful, well-behaved and obedient cousin.

An idea popped into Shen Huaining's mind.

Even if he couldn't be with his cousin, he wanted her to know his feelings.

"Cousin! I have something to tell you..."

But Gu Zhen guessed something and raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Cousin, you don't know, I read some leisure books yesterday, and I read some interesting stories. Let me tell you about them."

Facing Gu Zhen's expectant eyes, Shen Huaining couldn't say no.

"You talk, cousin, listen."

Gu Zhen pulled Shen Huaining to sit down at the stone table in the yard and spoke with a little excitement.

"The book says that there was a miraculous doctor who had learned a lot. He once proposed a theory, but it was not accepted by the world..."

This person's blood is half from his father and half from his mother.

Why is it that the children of uncles and aunts are treated as siblings, but the children of aunts and uncles can be married off at will?

"The doctor thought that this didn't make sense and that the two should be the same, so he traveled all over the world and finally came to a conclusion."

Whether they are cousins ​​or cousins, they are actually the same.

Children born against human ethics are mostly sick.

Either they are weird or they die early.

"The miracle doctor visited many families whose children had problems and found that as long as this person had the same blood flowing through his body, he would not be able to give birth to a healthy child!"

After Gu Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Shen Huaining with curiosity: "Cousin, have you heard of this? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Shen Huaining was speechless. This was the first time he heard such a theory.

"But that's true. My cousin from my hometown married my uncle's kid and gave birth to several monsters."

After saying this, Gu Zhen pretended not to care.

"This miracle doctor is really idle, but I think that no matter which side of the family they are from, they should be treated like siblings!"

"How can a brother and sister become husband and wife? They only have a brother-sister relationship. Cousin, do you think I'm right?" Gu Zhen held his chin with his eyes shining.

No matter how stupid Shen Huaining was, he understood it.

My cousin went through so much trouble just to say that she only has brotherly love for me.

Shen Huaining forced a smile: "My cousin is right, just like us, they are siblings who couldn't be closer."

Gu Zhen smiled even more happily, and her eyes became a crescent moon.

Shen Huaining left in embarrassment and dared not say anything else.

Qin Xiangmei stood behind the door and listened for a long time.

She just wanted to follow him out to stop her son from making an unrealistic confession.

That would be meaningless except adding trouble to my niece.

But I didn't expect to hear such words.

Qin Xiangmei understood Gu Zhen's painstaking efforts.

She was just sad. Why could such a thoughtful, simple and kind girl have such a miserable life?

If her parents were still alive, how could she be living under someone else's roof today?

For the first time in her life, Qin Xiangmei hated herself so much for being a concubine who had to depend on others for favors.

Gu Zhen didn't know what her aunt was thinking.

She looked at the sun and realized it was getting late, so she asked the maid to tell her aunt that she was pregnant, and then she took Luluo to the main courtyard.
