Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce

Mrs. Wang was very worried.

Gu Wanzhou is pregnant. This is not just her own business, it concerns the entire Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Wang couldn't make a decision on her own, so she went to see the Duke when she returned.

The Duke was drawing. He liked reading when he was young, but the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion was founded by military commanders, and as the eldest son, he had to shoulder the burden and was forced to follow the military. Before Ji Nanzheng's triumphant return, he was the Minister of War. After Ji Nanzheng's triumphant return, someone took up the burden of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, so he took the initiative to resign, retired from the army, and lived a free and carefree life.

"Madam, why do you look worried?" The Duke, now free from his official duties, asked Madam Wang with a smile.

"Master, please stop for a moment. I really have something to do."

"Oh?" After the Duke stopped writing and washed his hands, he sat down with Madam Wang.

After the servants served the tea, they all left automatically.

"Master, Gu is pregnant." Mrs. Wang was anxious and did not beat around the bush.

The Duke was blowing his tea. Hearing this, he looked up at Madam Wang and asked, "Is it confirmed?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and expressed her guess.

"Let the doctor take my pulse."

"No, sir." Mrs. Wang immediately rejected the Duke's idea of taking his pulse.

Facing the Duke's puzzled look, Madam Wang said with a heavy heart, "Gu Wanzhou is Zheng'er's legitimate wife, and her child is a legitimate one. If Wan'er gives birth to a boy, he will be the eldest legitimate son and will inherit the title in the future."

The Duke put down his teacup and looked at Madam Wang, saying seriously, "Madam, this is what I think. Before, Madam wanted to let Yun girl marry in. I know why you wanted to, and I supported you, but now you have given up, so why not..."

"How can that be possible?" Madam Wang interrupted the Duke again and sighed, "Master, have you heard what I said? Is it possible that Gu Wanzhou's child will inherit the title?"

"Madam, why can't you get over this? If you are worried that Gu can't raise the child, why don't you raise it yourself? As long as it is Nan Zheng's child, with your ability, you don't have to worry about not being able to raise a little Nan Zheng."

"I think the master is too idle now." Mrs. Wang glanced at the Duke with resentment.

She thought it was a very important matter, but the Duke didn't seem to care much, and Mrs. Wang was unhappy.

"Am I worried about not being able to raise a child? I'm worried about Gu Wanzhou's birth and that she won't be able to support the Duke Dingguo Mansion."

Madam Wang sighed again: "During this period of time, I have also observed that Gu Wanzhou is not a bad person. If it weren't for Zheng'er, I would accept it. But she is Zheng'er's legal wife, and she will help Zheng'er support the entire Duke's Mansion in the future."

At this point, the Duke nodded with a slightly serious expression. He agreed with Madam Wang's words. In a large family, the head of the family is very important. He was very fortunate to have married a capable and thoughtful woman like Madam Wang. Not only did she give birth to an excellent son, but she also managed the family in an orderly manner. After decades of marriage, Madam Wang never made him worry about the affairs of the harem.

Seeing that the Duke finally realized the importance of the question, Madam Wang continued, "Gu Wanzhou's biological mother died young, and he was raised by his stepmother. It's okay that her stepmother was born in a humble family, but she is really... I saw it with my own eyes once at the Changning Marquis's Mansion. She didn't speak or act properly. I didn't even dare to greet her, for fear that she would get close to me."

"Master, do you think such a person can raise a good child? Besides, I have also inquired about it. Jiang Shi only raised Gu Wanzhou, but did not teach him at all. Do you think I dare to entrust the future of the Duke's Mansion to her?"

The Duke also sighed after hearing this. Mrs. Wang's concerns were not unnecessary. If a family wanted to prosper, the mistress of the house was particularly important. She had to have strong management skills and social skills.

Gu Wanzhou, it seems like something is indeed missing.

"Does the lady have any idea?"

Madam Wang thought about it, and as if she had made some important decision, she sighed and said, "Didn't Gu Wanzhou already sign a divorce agreement? She also said in person that she wanted to leave. I think..."

"Madam, you absolutely cannot do that." The Duke interrupted immediately, "This matter must be approved by Nan Zheng. We cannot make the decision on our own."

"Also, if Nan Zheng wants to divorce, he needs to ask the emperor for permission first."

Madam Wang said anxiously, "Then what other solutions do you think we can have? I can't make Gu Wanzhou have an abortion. That would bring me divine punishment. But when Zheng'er comes back from Jiangnan, everyone will know that Gu Wanzhou is pregnant. By then, even if Gu Wanzhou wants to leave, can a family like us force a pregnant daughter-in-law to divorce?"

The Duke fell silent.

He felt that what Mrs. Wang said made sense. Gu Wanzhou wanted to leave anyway, so he pretended not to know and fulfilled her wish.

But I felt very sorry and reluctant.

"Madam, that is Nan Zheng's flesh and blood."

"Master, don't worry. I won't ignore Gu Wanzhou. It's a bit unfair to Gu Wanzhou, but is there any other way? Are we going to gamble with the future of the Duke's Mansion?" Mrs. Wang argued.

"Let's not talk about Gu Wanzhou's inability to support the Duke's Mansion. Just take the heir as an example. If it is really Gu Wanzhou's child who inherits the title, he has a grandmother like that, which is a stain on him. The heir of our Duke's Mansion can have a glorious choice, why would he choose a tainted one?"

After hearing this, the Duke's expression became more and more solemn. While he admired Madam Wang for her long-term thinking for the Duke's Mansion, he also felt that this matter was extremely tricky.

"Just listen to my wife." The Duke chose to compromise.

Over the past 30 years, many times when my father and his wife had disagreements, he chose to listen to Mrs. Wang and the result was better feedback. He believed in Mrs. Wang's character and ability, so he gave the decision-making power to Mrs. Wang.

"However, if Gu really leaves, those who are targeting Nan Zheng will probably knock on the door of our Duke's Mansion again. It will be difficult to decide who is chosen and who is not. One family will be happy while others will be sad," said the Duke.

Seeing that the Duke approved of her decision, Madam Wang felt relieved and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry too much. I have already made a preliminary choice."

Under the Duke's puzzled gaze, Madam Wang said, "The Queen Mother brought Princess Yingxin here, saying that she missed her, but in fact she was looking for a husband for her. I met her once. She is beautiful, gentle and elegant. I heard that she started to be the housekeeper of Prince Xin's Mansion two years ago. I think she is a good match for Zheng'er."

The Duke thought about it and nodded, "If it really works out, it would be a good match. But...?"

The Duke originally wanted to say: Ji Nanzheng might not agree.

He was vaguely worried, but he wasn't sure, so he didn't say it out loud to avoid worrying Mrs. Wang.
