Mrs. Zhou was crying like fallen leaves in the wind. She was so pitiful that Mrs. Jiang couldn't say anything to scold her when she saw this. She could only feel a surge of blood, her vision went dark, and she almost fainted.
Xie Yixiao quickly supported her: "Grandma!"
Gu Zhixuan also hurriedly came over to support her. Jiang took a moment to calm down. Although she had recovered, she still looked tired as she sat there. The only sound in the room was Zhou's choking crying, which was very pitiful.
Gu Zhixuan went over to persuade her and helped her sit back to her original position.
After a long time, Gu Zhixuan said: "Since she yearns for the outside world so much and is unwilling to be bound by the family and unwilling to obey the family's arrangements, let her be free and let her find her own freedom.
Go find her Mr. Yang."
"It should be considered as a fulfillment for her."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou calmed down a little, but stopped crying. She just looked at him blankly.
Gu Zhixuan continued: "Besides, her behavior really hurt the hearts of my grandmother and mother. If people find out, it will also ruin the reputation of the Changning Marquis Mansion that has been run for many years. If nothing else, I will marry Afeng later."
, it will definitely be affected.”
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her face changed and she couldn't even cry.
Gu You was the girl she gave birth to, so it was true that she felt distressed, but Gu Zhixuan was also her son. In her heart, Gu Zhixuan even had a higher status than Gu You. He was the son she had high hopes for and would have a bright future.
Even for Gu Zhixuan's marriage, she made thousands of choices. She wanted to choose a noble girl for him who had a good background, could manage the family, had good connections, and would have a smooth future.
If Gu You's affair ruined the family's reputation and prevented Gu Zhixuan from having a good marriage, she might even die in peace.
It is true that she feels sorry for her daughter, but her son is even more of her heart.
Jiang drank a cup of tea handed over by Xie Yixiao and calmed down a little. Seeing that Zhou relaxed, he said: "Axuan is right. Since she doesn't want to stay, we can't force her, but
We can’t let her cause trouble that will affect the family’s reputation and future.”
"In this case, it will help her and save us."
"At most, if she encounters any difficulties in the future, we can just help her privately."
This is the truth, and this is the most appropriate way to handle it.
Xie Yixiao thought it was good. If the Changning Houfu really said that Gu You was dead and there was no such person anymore, a lot of trouble might be avoided in the future. Even if Gu You showed up again, the Changninghoufu could insist that he was a good-looking person.
Just similar people.
Moreover, the temperament of the current Gu You is so different from the original Gu You. If you don't know the inside story, you might sigh, "It's really similar," and then believe it.
But Ms. Zhou was still worried: "But if she is left to fend for herself, what good future will she have? Her whole life will be ruined!"
Gu Zhixuan said: "Mother, it's not that I said anything bad. Even if she gets her back now, there will be no other use except to continue tossing her. In the future, what good future will she have?"
"At the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Axiang has already married. Previously, it was said that she was seriously ill and her reputation was no longer good. Now this marriage in this family..."
Gu Zhixuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Although it was said that Mr. Nian took her out when she escaped this time, and the Nian family felt they were in the wrong and it would be inappropriate to suggest that this marriage would not count, but if she had been missing for a period of time, even if
If you come back in the future, who knows what happened outside?"
"Even if the Nian family admits it, they still have some thoughts in their hearts. Moreover, what if the Nian family knows that she ran away on her own?"
If Nian's family knew that she ran away just because she didn't want to get married, they would probably explode. If there was a riot, the face of the Changning Marquis Mansion would be thrown to the ground and trampled on. The two families would become enemies.
Moreover, her marriage to the Nian family has not really been settled yet, but it has already passed a small settlement, and it is finalized. Everyone outside knows it. If they break up again, what good can she say about the third marriage?
Jiang nodded and said: "The trouble has reached this level and she is still disobedient. If she continues to make trouble, no matter whether she is caught back or left outside, there will be no good future. Moreover, she can escape the first time and the second time.
There may be a third or fourth time.”
Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Zhou: "If you still have this family in your heart, as well as Mr. Hou and Ah Xuan, you should know the truth of breaking it off."
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and was speechless.
Mrs. Jiang then ordered Gu Zhixuan: "When your father comes back, you can talk to him and tell him that it is my intention. First, tell the public that Ayou has been found, but she was frightened and sick. After a while, you can release her."
No news."
"When the time comes, we will hold a funeral for her and set up a tomb. We will treat her as if she is truly dead and avoid any future troubles. If she appears in the Imperial City again, no matter what anyone says, we will not recognize her.
"
"As for the person, there is no need to look for her, just follow her wishes."
The three of them discussed it and decided to give up on Gu You.
Mrs. Zhou cried for a while with a tearful face, but this time she didn't make a fuss anymore, and she obviously accepted it.
Gu Zhixuan agreed, and then helped Zhou leave, while Xie Yixiao stayed to take care of Jiang.
Jiang was overjoyed and sad. She was angry and sad about Gu You's behavior. In the end, she had no choice but to let go and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Xie Yixiao was afraid that she would fall ill, so he asked the doctor to prescribe some heart-soothing medicine for her to drink, and she fell asleep peacefully in the afternoon.
At Shenshi, Changning Hou Mansion returned from the Yamen. As soon as he changed out of his official uniform, Gu Zhixuan went over and told him about Gu You.
Marquis Changning frowned and was silent for a long time. Finally he sighed: "Let's do it this way."
Although Gu You is his daughter, he doesn't care, but after all, he is the head of the family, and he has other children, whom he also cares about. He can't blame everyone just because of Gu You.
Moreover, if something goes wrong, the reputation of the Changning Marquis Mansion will be ruined, and it will also affect his career and that of his subordinates in the future.
He had no intention of sacrificing his daughter for his career, but Gu You did it himself. He couldn't just leave her alone because she didn't care about the family, so he had to give her up.
Gu Zhixuan nodded in agreement, so in the evening, he went to the Nian family in person and said that Gu You had come back, but he was frightened and fell ill as soon as he came back. Then he declined the Nian family's offer to visit.
Say goodbye and leave.
After returning, they released the news that Gu You was ill again and would be sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate. It was planned that she would die of illness in Zhuangzi in a few days.
As the sun set, Xie Yixiao also received a letter sent by someone from Rong Ci. After reading the letter, she frowned.
Gu You is actually in the Huainan Prince's Mansion, and he is also the target of the rumor that Prince Huainan is having trouble today?
