I just want to die of old age

Minister Guo knew the reason why Guo Shaojie snatched the painting, and his expression eased a lot, but he still glared at him fiercely with disappointment.

"Can you be more ambitious? It's not wrong for you to want to be Zhou Daru's disciple, but why do you have to steal a girl's things?"

After hearing this, Guo Shaojie's face turned half green and half red. At this time, he already felt a little regretful. He really did not do well and also affected his father's official reputation.

Minister Guo thought of how I obtained Master Yinmo’s paintings through my own strength in Tianranju.

Minister Guo stroked his long beard, his words full of admiration for me.

"As expected, a tiger father will have a dog daughter. Lord Su's legitimate daughter is indeed not an ordinary person. She can actually get Master Yinmo's paintings in Tianranju."

Mrs. Guo also admired me very much. An idea came to her mind. She said expectantly, "Master, how about letting Shaojie marry the Marquis's legitimate daughter?"

Minister Guo looked at the dejected Guo Shaojie and shook his head, saying, "You think too much. Look at your son, he is in such a hopeless state and he was beaten up by the woman. You'd better stop dreaming."

Mrs. Guo's idea of getting married was shattered in an instant. Although she had many filters for her son, she could not say that her son was worthy of Su Yuzhu.

After visiting Tianranju, everyone in the capital knew that Su Yuzhu, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, was also a famous talented woman.

After this marriage, many officials and noble families will want to marry Su Yuzhu.

My own son really can't climb up to that level.

Guo Shaojie shuddered as he stood there. He didn't expect his mother to have such a horrible idea.

He really had no thoughts of revenge now, but thinking of the style of Su Yuzhu, the female tyrant, he couldn't help but shiver.

If I really married such a tigress, I would never want to live again and I would never be able to visit brothels and have fun again.

He has to tell his good brother about this matter and stay away from that tigress, otherwise he will not have any freedom in the future.

Hearing his father's refusal, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Guo Shaojie stood aside and thought about random things.

Mrs. Guo was still thinking, "How should we better solve this problem, Master?"

Minister Guo stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. With a shrewd look in his eyes, he said, "Don't panic. If this matter is handled properly, you can still get closer to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Master, do you want us to bring a valuable gift and apologize?"

"So, we have to do this and take that unfilial son with us."

Guo Shaojie trembled all over after hearing this. Thinking about meeting Su Yuzhu again in the future, he was extremely scared. He asked his father tentatively.

"Father, can I not go? My injury hasn't healed yet."

"You have to go this time, and I'll carry you there no matter what."

After hearing this, Guo Shaojie became even more dejected, as if all his energy had been drained out of him.

The next morning, Guo Shaojie, supported by his maid, stumbled behind Mrs. Guo.

He followed behind in slow, small steps like a depressed pug.

They arrived at Nanyang Marquis's Mansion.

Because the Guo family informed me in advance, I was waiting for their arrival in the hall.

The first time I met Mrs. Guo, she was a bright and charming beauty, wearing a gorgeous red dress, and her whole body looked radiant.

The glittering gold jewelry made her look even more noble.

Her skin is very well maintained and looks smooth and delicate. Standing in front of Guo Shaojie, she looks like his sister.

After applying the medicine, Guo Shaojie's face was no longer swollen, but he looked a bit listless.

There is no longer the feeling of being high and mighty, with eyes on top of the head.

When I saw Guo Shaojie so dejected, I gave him a kind smile behind Mrs. Guo’s back.

I watched him shudder with satisfaction, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Then when Mrs. Guo looked over, I had already adjusted my facial expression.

I behaved like a lady from a noble family and bowed gracefully to Mrs. Guo.

Madam Guo took my fair and slender hand and looked at me carefully. She showed an expression of liking me more and more. She said in a clear and crisp voice: "You are worthy of being the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. You are dignified and beautiful."

But when she looked at this beautiful face, she still had a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before?

I can’t remember it for a moment.

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam Guo. People in the capital say that the young lady of the Guo family is both talented and beautiful. Yuzhu can't compare to her."

When Mrs. Guo heard me praising the young lady of the Guo family like this, she smiled charmingly, and silently praised her in her heart for being neither arrogant nor impatient, saying that she was indeed excellent.

Mrs. Guo did not see the Marquis's wife Xiang Yayan asked with concern: "Why didn't I see your mother today?"

When I saw Mrs. Guo asking, I answered calmly, "Mother has caught a cold these past two days, and I'm afraid she'll infect you, so I'll be the one to meet you today. I hope Mrs. Guo will forgive me."

Mrs. Guo hurriedly said with concern, "It's okay. If Madam is not feeling well, let her have a good rest."

After Mrs. Guo expressed her concern, she got to the point.

Mrs. Guo pushed Guo Shaojie to the front, with a guilty look on her face, and said, "Yuzhu, it was my son who behaved inappropriately and did such a stupid thing. I hope you can forgive me."

I could see the sincerity in Mrs. Guo's eyes, and the smile on her face became even more sincere. She said tactfully, "Master Guo was also impulsive and was deceived by certain people. I suggest that Master Guo should study more and take the imperial examinations, and should not get involved in matters between women."

I silently dug a hole for Su Mingyu in my heart. Who asked her to instigate Guo Shaojie to cause trouble for me? Now I will throw this big trouble back to her.

After hearing this, Mrs. Guo's pupils darkened a little, and then she smiled knowingly.

She thought about her son's attempt to please Su Mingyu and realized that he would do something extremely stupid.

Moreover, what happened at the last poetry gathering was still fresh in his mind. It was just for Su Mingyu that he started targeting Su Yuzhu, the legitimate daughter.

She couldn't help but get angry at Su Mingyu, but she didn't show any sign on her face.

Guo Shaojie also heard something wrong, and he defended Su Mingyu, "This matter has nothing to do with Mingyu."

Mrs. Guo glared at Guo Shaojie fiercely. Guo Shaojie immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word, but looked at his mother with hesitant eyes.
