She continued crying even after being pulled back by Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. Cry, cry, cry. What's the point of crying? Can crying help me marry Gu Wen? Can crying make Gu Wen see you and marry you?"

"You are so useless. That man was clearly prepared for Tang Yu, yet you still sacrificed yourself. I have taught you for nothing over the years. You haven't learned even a single thing."

Lin Xiaoxiao was forced to hold back her tears.

He sobbed and dared not speak.

She just thought that her cousin was so heartless. After all, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

Why would she just marry a poor man?

Zhou frowned and said, "Gu Wen only asked you to get married in a month. What are you worried about? You can go to the polo match in two days. You and Feng Jiao were both tricked by Tang Yu last time. You know her situation. She was given up even though she was favored. You should be grateful that I am keeping you."

"Fortunately, there were only a few noble ladies there last time. I have already sent people to deal with the old man. Fortunately, this matter did not spread throughout the capital, otherwise I would not be able to save you."

"However, if you can take the opportunity to have something happen between you and Gu Wen at the polo match, there will be so many people there, including many noble ladies and gentlemen. As long as you and Gu Wen are seen by others, he will have to marry you even if he doesn't want to. This is your only chance. If you still can't do it, you will marry that poor scholar in a month, and I will never help you again. Do you understand?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up suddenly, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank you, auntie, thank you, auntie. Xiaoxiao understands. Xiaoxiao will definitely make it happen this time. I want to marry my eldest cousin, not that poor scholar."

Only then was Zhou satisfied.

Gu Wen must be under her control, but she doesn't want to give the General's Mansion to him. She only wants to leave it to her son.

Speaking of Gu Cheng.

Zhou asked the maid, "Where did the second young master go?"

The maid stammered, "Second, Second Young Master, he, he..."

Zhou was impatient, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating? If you don't say anything, drag him down and give him ten beatings."

The maid said, "The Second Young Master asked the book boy to wear his clothes and go to the school early this morning. Then, he changed into a servant's clothes and went... to the brothel."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Zhou even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Her son is only thirteen years old, and he is already addicted to brothels?

He slammed the table and stood up, "Go, bring a few people to tie him up. If he doesn't learn how to manage the family business now, how will he manage the general's mansion in the future? Go and tie him up quickly. He also has to go to the polo meeting in two days. He should find a noble lady who is suitable for him and can make him change his mind as soon as possible."

Zhou was furious.

He called two more people, "Go find two more beautiful women, from clean backgrounds, and send them to Cheng'er. Tell him that if he wants a woman, I will find a way for him. Why go to a brothel? It's so dirty."

The servant took the order and left.

Zhou pinched her temples because of a headache.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak.

Her aunt has been arranging a maid for Gu Cheng since he turned thirteen.

Up to now, in almost half a year, Gu Cheng had more than ten maids in his backyard, seven or eight concubines, and some kept outside.

Which good family would arrange so many women for their son so early?

But she didn't dare to say anything and just played dumb.

Two days passed quickly.

It is now July.

The sun was scorching the earth and the weather was still hot, but it couldn't stop the young boys and girls from getting excited.
