Gu Man packed some personal clothes, then said goodbye to Ji Moyan, and hurriedly fled back to her parents' home while Cheng Mo got up early to go to court and was not in the Hou Mansion.
Since getting married, this is the first time Gu Liao has returned home, and it is also the first time Gu Man has come to this strange mansion.
The prime minister's residence is naturally a little smaller than the Marquis's residence, but for ordinary people, it is already a very large mansion.
As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Gu Qing and a graceful middle-aged woman waiting at the door with beaming faces. After seeing Gu Man, her smiling eyes were filled with tears, and perhaps she really understood her feelings. When my mother looked at me, I shed tears unconsciously.
"Mother!" Gu Man felt a strong sense of longing in her heart, and she quickly rushed towards the arms of the prime minister's wife, Qin Fanghua.
Qin Fanghua has not seen his beloved daughter for three years, and the longing in his heart is even more unspeakable. Every time he wants to visit his daughter, Prime Minister Gu Zheng stops him, saying only: "My Gu family does not have such a shameless daughter!"
Qin Fanghua hugged her daughter and cried, crying out how she had missed her for the past three years.
In the end, it was Gu Qinghe who persuaded her, and the mother and daughter stopped crying and entered the house.
Qin Fanghua held Gu Man's hand tightly and led Gu Man to an exceptionally clean and tidy yard. There was also a swing set up in the yard, and I thought that when I came to visit Gu Man, I would often play on the swing before leaving the pavilion.
Qin Fanghua took Gu Man into the house, and saw that the house was very clean and tidy, with a light fragrance filling the air. Obviously, even if no one lives in this house, it is still taken care of every day.
Sure enough, Qin Fanghua said: "Look at this house, is it any different from before you got married?"
Gu Man was stunned for a moment and thought to herself: How could she know the difference?
In order to avoid exposing her flaws, Gu Man threw herself into Qin Fanghua's arms and cried.
Gu Qinghe on the side was moved and said, "That's it. Over the years, mother has been sending people to clean up your house, and nothing has been touched. She is just waiting for you to come back!"
Gu Man hugged the woman in front of her and said sincerely: "Mom, thank you!"
Qin Fanghua smiled and said: "Silly boy, you are so polite to your mother! I heard your brother said that he met you outside the house, but I still didn't believe it. I thought that since you have met your brother, why don't you come back to see your parents? Mom, I have been waiting for you day and night, but you are finally here!"
Gu Man stood up from Qin Fanghua's arms and said: "The child also wants to come back, but he is just afraid that his father will be unhappy. The child has really missed his mother these days, so he wrote a letter begging her mother to take her daughter back. Otherwise, the child will be afraid that her father will be unhappy for the rest of her life. I don’t dare to come back!”
Qin Fanghua said: "Your father has a stubborn temper, and you were really confused back then. No wonder your father is unhappy. Now that he is back, you can apologize to your father and this matter will be over!"
Qin Fanghua looked at Gu Man with loving eyes. She hadn't seen her for three years. She had a lot to say to her daughter and a lot to ask her. After thinking for a long time, she finally asked the question she was most concerned about, "Okay, how are you these years?" Is that so? Is the Marquis treating you well? I heard that Cheng Mo actually married another woman and made her his equal wife?! What is that woman’s character like? Has she ever given you any trouble?"
Gu Man nodded, "Yan'er is very good! Mr. Hou... mother, I... have something to tell you!"
Gu Qinghe frowned. The name Yan'er was very familiar. He suddenly thought of something and looked at Gu Man, "The woman who was in Jidi Building that day was Cheng Mo's newly married wife?"
Gu Man nodded.
Cheng Mo thought for a while and then said: "She is indeed a good woman."
Qin Fanghua didn't care about other women's vulgarity. He only looked at Gu Man and asked, "What do you want to tell mother? Is Cheng Mo not treating you well?" As he said that, Qin Fanghua began to wipe away tears again, "These years, there are always people outside.
It is said that you and the Marquis are at odds. Is it true? My daughter! Why are you so confused? It’s not good to like anyone. You have to like the Marquis! You know clearly that the Marquis doesn’t like you, why do you just
I have to marry him!"
Seeing Qin's mother who was crying more and more sadly, Gu Man felt very sad, so she said, "Mom, if my daughter is not doing well, can we divorce her?"
Hearing Gu Man's words, Qin Fanghua looked at her in surprise, "You...what did you say?"
Gu Qinghe on the side seemed to have heard wrongly and asked uncertainly: "Okay, you mean you want to be with Cheng Mo... Heli?"
Gu Man nodded, "Yes! I want to make peace! I don't want to be with Cheng Mo anymore, is that okay?"
After Gu Qinghe was shocked, a smile appeared on his face, "Of course it's okay! I've wanted you to do this for a long time!"
Hearing Gu Qinghe's agreement, Gu Man was just about to rejoice when she heard Qin Fanghua say seriously: "That's it! It's you who want to get married, and now it's you who want to divorce! Are you treating marriage as a child's play?"
"mother……"
Qin Fanghua interrupted Gu Man and continued: "That's it, your marriage to the Marquis was already very eye-catching back then, and now you want to divorce. Aren't you just waiting for someone to poke your spine?"
Gu Man knew that the reason why Qin Fanghua didn't want her to reconcile was because she was afraid that she would be criticized by outsiders again. In this society, reputation is more important than anything else.
But Gu's reputation has long been bad in the eyes of outsiders, but why should she care about what others think?
"Mom...even if I'm not living well, can't I still divorce if I'm not happy?" Gu Man looked at Qin Fanghua with sad eyes.
Looking at Gu Man's eyes, Qin Fanghua's heart suddenly tightened...
Gu Qinghe on the side said quickly: "Mom! Why do we care about what outsiders think! Can't our family afford to raise another child? Then Cheng Mo married several servants in succession within a year of his marriage.
Concubine, now I have raised another woman to be my equal wife. Don’t say yes, even I can’t stand Cheng Mo’s behavior! He is really too much!"
Qin Fanghua was also moved for a moment, but still asked with some uncertainty: "Didn't you... like him very much before? What about now?"
Gu Man shook her head, "Mom, I don't like him now! He is so disappointing to my daughter! In the past, my daughter was too young and ignorant, but now, I have figured it out! My strong-willed melon is not sweet, and now my daughter only feels sorry for her father.
My mother's cultivation has brought shame to my parents and daughter. I have already thought about it. After my daughter and the Marquis reconcile, my daughter will leave the capital to live in the south, and she will never hurt her parents again!"
Qin Fanghua frowned slightly and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Fanghua looked solemn, "I have to discuss this with your father first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the maid outside shouting: "The master is going to court!"
