Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers

But they knew that the family that Old Lady Gu and Madam Gu had secretly chosen for them was not a good place.

Either she becomes the second wife of an old man with countless children, or she is a lady from a wealthy family who looks down on a nobleman with various problems as his wife.

If they marry, they will either be tortured or become a widow. They would rather marry down and find a normal husband's family than marry up and suffer.

When the eldest sister marries into the Prince of Jin's Mansion, even if she cannot become the principal wife, she will at least be a concubine.

If they go and pray, maybe they won't have to marry the man favored by their stepmother and can find a normal man as their husband.

They wished that Gu Shutang could leave the Gu Mansion and become the legitimate Princess of Jin!

How could he be willing to follow the old lady and cause trouble for Gu Shutang?

"Mother--"

What kind of talk was his mother saying? If this got out, where would his face be? His colleagues would probably spread rumors behind his back that he was willing to sacrifice his daughter to curry favor with his superiors.

"Mother!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, both with the same gaffe.

Mrs. Gu just thinks this old woman is crazy?

She wanted to spread the news that Gu Shutang was involved with the unmarried Prince Jin, without considering her other granddaughter at all.

Although her Lan'er has a place to stay, there are still so many concubines' daughters who are not married. Will they all fall into her hands?

She really couldn't bear to see several concubines' daughters who seemed to be of great use become useless pawns because of Old Lady Gu.

Only with a good reputation can you climb up the ladder.

Mrs. Gu felt that it was not worth it to sacrifice the opportunities of several concubines' daughters to climb up the social ladder for the sake of Gu Shutang, who was already worthless.

She had been raising these concubine daughters with good food and drink for many years. She was not being kind enough to find them husbands of lower status but who would respect their wives. What she wanted was the support from the families they married into.

Gu Shutang came out from behind Du Shaoyu, smiling, "Don't worry, old lady, everything is Tang'er's choice. Even if it's wrong, Tang'er will not look back.

Since the old lady doesn't want Tang'er's name to be on the family tree, you can cross it out."

"As for the scandals that the old lady said, feel free to spread them. Tang'er is not afraid."

What does reputation matter? As long as she and Aunt Xu can get away from the Gu family, she doesn't feel ashamed.

"Okay, okay, okay, as you wish, from today on, you are no longer the daughter of the Gu family. We in the Gu family don't have a daughter as shameless as you."

"Mother! What are you talking about?"

"Zong Qing, if the world knew that you kicked your adulterous daughter out of the house, they would only praise you for your integrity and for not bowing to fame and fortune."

"The girls at home won't be influenced by her, and the good families she originally met will still be willing to marry them."

Old Madam Gu pointed at Gu Shutang with her cane, "Do you still expect a daughter who would rather be removed from the family tree than leave the Gu family to bring you honor?"

Seeing that Old Madam Gu was angry, Gu Shutang stopped irritating her. She certainly would not bring any help to the Gu family.

"Mother is right."

After Gu Zongqing figured it out, he didn't try to persuade him to stay any longer. He directly opened the ancestral hall and took out the family tree. As the patriarch of the Gu family, he didn't need to notify others about the changes to the family tree, so he quickly crossed out Gu Shutang's name.

Since he couldn't gain any benefits from his eldest daughter, he wanted a good reputation for being upright and incorruptible.

His pen paused, pausing at the name above Gu Shutang, hesitant. He only had two sons, and if he kicked the youngest son out of the family, his offspring would seem too few.

However, Gu Zongqing thought of the good reputation he was about to gain, and refused to bow to power. He would rather expel his daughter who had an affair with Prince Jin from the house than accept this unclean wealth and glory.

Gu Zongqing couldn't help but feel moved. Maybe the emperor would use him because he refused to bow to power. After all, the Prince of Jin was just a powerful man now. It would be only a matter of time before the emperor would be suspicious of him if he held military power.

Rather than forcing a daughter who has alienated herself from him, he would rather have a good reputation that can help him rise to the top.

He simply crossed out the name of Gu Shutang's brother Gu Ziqian.

"Since you and your daughter are determined to leave, I won't keep you. Ziqian will leave with you as well."

"My Gu Mansion cannot tolerate despicable people like you."

"Minister Gu, be careful with your words."

Du Shaoyu was impatient with his dithering and asked him coldly to get the paperwork done.

He spared the Gu family this time for the sake of their kindness in raising his princess, and did not take Mrs. Gu's words to heart.

Seeing that his subordinates had already brought the carriage, Du Shaoyu handed the indenture and the document for releasing his concubine to his subordinates, and ordered them to go to the government office with the people from the Gu Mansion to handle the subsequent matters. He then took Gu Shutang's hand and left the Gu Mansion.

Behind her, there was a nanny brought by his subordinates who was helping Xu leave the Gu Mansion.

There were two carriages parked in front of the Gu Mansion. One was originally prepared by him for Gu Shutang and her daughter, and the other was for him alone.

Now he changed his mind and took Gu Shutang directly to his carriage, leaving Xu alone in the carriage at the back.

Gu Shutang was carried into the carriage by Du Shaoyu and sat down beside him. She smelled the cold sandalwood scent that was unique to Du Shaoyu, and saw the half-smile in the man's eyes. The sweat on her palms could not stop.

"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Miss Gu, the news that you and I have left the Gu Mansion will spread throughout the capital in less than an incense stick of time. Do you regret it?"

"No regrets, everything is my own choice."

Du Shaoyu was in a good mood after hearing this. He hugged her in his arms, smelled the familiar fragrance, and tidied her messy hair.

"In the future, you will be my princess. The nanny who follows your mother is from the Queen Mother's side. She will be by your side to serve you.

The guards in the mansion are at your disposal. As long as you don't betray me, I will share everything I have with you."

Gu Shutang, please don't let him down again, otherwise, who knows what crazy things he will do.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

He heard Gu Shutang's distant thanks and felt dissatisfied. Thinking that he couldn't help touching her because of the aphrodisiac, which led to her being expelled from the Gu Mansion, he left quietly with dissatisfaction.

His wife is nearly ten years younger than him. He should be more generous and not argue with her about these trivial matters.

She is still young, just teach her slowly.

"You don't need to take the Gu family's threats to heart. I won't let you suffer any injustice."

Although he couldn't kill all the members of the Gu family and cut off the source of the rumors, he had many capable people under his command, and it was not difficult for him to turn the rumors about the Gu family into another situation.

He thought of his brother and mother in the palace, and an idea came to his mind.

Gu Shutang, who was held in his arms, had no idea what Du Shaoyu was thinking. It was the height of summer, and she was being held by a middle-aged man like Du Shaoyu. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and she felt very stuffy.

After finally waiting for the carriage to stop, she quickly jumped out, but what came into her sight was an unfamiliar place.
