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

Chapter 1584

Shi Chengxuan is still terrified when he mentions this. "If it weren't for my Xia'er's cleverness, I'm afraid I would have really fallen into the trap of the Queen Mother." He thought for a moment and continued, "I also worked with my father to break up my son's marriage. At that time, a princess fell in love with my son, and I was so happy..."

Shi Chengxuan kept on talking, and under the influence of alcohol, he blurted out all the most unbearable things in his heart that he refused to admit were wrong.

In fact, he knew he was wrong. He had known it was wrong a long time ago.

But he didn't know how to redeem all this. He wanted a loving couple, a loving father and filial son, a peaceful home, and he wanted to... start over.

Starting over again... Tang Chujun could never be his wife, Shi Chengxuan. This was his last thought as he slumped down on the table with a gulp after finishing his drink.

Madam Gu was obviously used to it and called the servant to help him wash and change his clothes.

In this room, there are all kinds of clothes, shoes and socks that belong to Shishi Chengxuan.

Among the people who served him, there was sometimes Cheng Xuan's own servant Chang Wu, and sometimes the other three servants specially assigned by the Gu family to serve him.

The servants were familiar with the process and cooperated well, and they managed to get him onto the bed.

Seeing that he had rested, Madam Gu gave him a few more instructions and then returned to her own yard.

The eldest daughter, Gu Ruzhu, had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw her mother coming, she quickly stood up and greeted her.

Madam Gu asked in surprise, "Zhu'er, is there something wrong? Why don't you go to bed in the middle of the night?"

Gu Ruzhu bit her lip and mustered up the courage to ask, "Mother, are you really going to marry Master Shi? I went out to inquire today, and Master Shi has a terrible reputation in the capital, and it's unbearable to hear about him."

Madam Gu's expression remained unchanged. She motioned for her daughter to sit down and said slowly, "Master Shi is our family's benefactor."

"Mother, there are many ways to repay your kindness. Please don't act on impulse..."

Madam Gu pondered for a moment, then looked up at her daughter and asked solemnly, "Why didn't you tell me this before the court awarded me the title?" She didn't wait for her daughter to answer, and answered herself, "Because at that time we were born as merchants, and we married Lord Shi, so you kept silent. Now that my Gu family has a title, your thoughts have changed again. Am I right?"

Gu Ruzhu's face turned red in an instant, "Mother..."

"I usually teach you to judge the situation, but I also teach you not to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak." Madam Gu felt a surge of anger in her heart. "It's true that Lord Shi has a bad reputation, but it's also true that he has done a favor to my Gu family."

Gu Ruzhu gritted her teeth and said, "There are many ways to repay a favor. Why should I pay the price of marriage? And if I pretend to be married to Mr. Shi, wouldn't it affect my mother's reputation? I am not flattering the powerful, but I feel, I feel..." Her voice gradually became smaller, "There is no need to make the relationship between the two families so complicated."

After she finished speaking, her eyes flickered. Madam Gu suddenly realized something, her pupils trembled, "You! Who do you like? Lord Jian'an? Or Lord Gong Ma?"

Gu Ruzhu obviously didn't expect that her mother could see through her thoughts at once, and her face turned as pale as a steamed shrimp.

Madam Gu was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but she waved her hands, her eyes were deep and sharp, and she changed the subject, "Zhu'er, you have been divorced and returned home for half a year, and I have never detained you in the backyard. Do you know why?"

The daughter couldn't answer, so she continued to ask and answer herself, "I want you to walk out of this small courtyard in the backyard and see how big and wide the world outside is. Instead of letting you feel sorry for yourself and think that you should be a concubine after the divorce."
