Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1583

After Shi Chengxuan finished yelling, he cried heartbrokenly. While crying, he drank and raised his scarlet eyes and asked, "Madam Gu, do you still want to marry me?"

Madam Gu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Continue to use fake marriage to anger your ex-wife? I told you this method won't work. Besides, the princess already knows the whole story."

Shi Chengxuan sighed deeply and drank another glass of wine. "I told you! I told you! No matter who it is, as long as they come in front of my daughter, they will be skinned and torn apart. Even if you hide your thoughts deep in your bones, she can find them out."

Madam Gu responded softly, "The princess is a thoughtful person, Master Shi should be happy."

"Why should I be happy? Happy that she calls me a loser all day long?" Shi Chengxuan felt terribly upset when he thought about it, and pointed at his chest, "She waved a dagger and stabbed me here. She stabbed as cruelly as she could. She said I was unworthy of being a father, and that belated affection was cheaper than grass!"

Mrs. Gu did not respond to this. Every family has its own problems.

Although she was on good terms with Shi Chengxuan, she did not think she had the right to interfere in other people's family affairs.

And she is not a gossipy woman who loves to gossip about the Zhang family and the Li family. In terms of business feng shui, gossiping will ruin the feng shui of the house and ruin your fortune.

Madam Gu has always been a very restrained person.

She just listened quietly, listening to Chengxuan complaining and accusing his children of not being close to him. In fact, she had heard these words so many times that she could recite them by heart.

Finally, that night, Madam Gu asked a question she had never asked before, "As a father, have you done anything for your children, Master Shi?"

Shi Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, did not answer, and raised his head to drink. But the wine flowed out from the corner of his mouth and wet his clothes.

He choked up and yelled at Madam Gu, "Why are you questioning me too! You are the only person I trust! Why have you changed after just meeting them? You have changed! You were not like this before!"

Madam Gu: “…”

All right. I stand on your side, because you are the benefactor of my Gu family.

"As a father, what else do I need to do for my children? Allowing them to come into this world is my greatest contribution to them. What else do I need to do?" After Shi Chengxuan roared, he became dejected again. He put down the wine glass heavily and cried on the table like a helpless child.

After a long while, he was tired of crying and his expression regained some clarity. "Ah, actually you are right to ask, what have I done for my children as a father? My daughter once asked me the same question. I thought and thought for several years, but I couldn't think of anything good for them."

Madam Gu silently filled a glass of wine for herself, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at the handsome man with complicated eyes.

How could she, the Gu family, be so worthy of such a good-for-nothing man to lend a helping hand and save the Gu family from danger?

This is probably the only good and great thing he has ever accomplished in his life?

Then he heard Shi Chengxuan continue to mutter, "I didn't do any good, but I did a lot of bad things. I almost ruined the entire mansion because of my short-sightedness..."

This was the first time that he was able to face his own problems. He told the story of how the Empress Dowager had used his other daughter to place the Guanyin statue and evidence of treason in the mansion.

Madam Gu was horrified when she heard this. If she was not careful, the whole family would be executed.

Although she was a businessman, she paid special attention to current affairs. She knew that the court was in turmoil at that time, and the Empress Dowager's party was playing a game with Emperor Mingde, but she didn't know that the Jian'an Marquis Mansion was also implicated.
