Chapter 408
Gu Chenzhi personally poured tea to Duan Wangye and said. “Father, mother has always been magnanimous and reasonable, I think it must have been someone who talked nonsense in front of mother…that made mother misunderstood you so much.”
Hearing this, Duan Wangye was even more satisfied with his eldest son and thought he was the most filial one, so how could he have conspired in killing wangfei!
Who was this someone talking nonsense to wangfei?
Duan Wangye naturally thought of Qin Jiu, since wangfei was very satisfied with Qin Jiu as her future daughter-in-law, wangfei would definitely believe whatever she says.
In an instant, it was as if the beads that had been disconnected were suddenly strung together; Duan Wangye suddenly realized, clenched his fist, and hit the small square table.
Gu Chenzhi hooked his lips at an angle that Duan Wangye couldn’t see, and looking at the change in his expression, he guessed that he should have figured it out.
Duan Wangye: “…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuan Wangye regretted it.
Back then, he asked the emperor to choose a marriage for Gu Zezhi because he could not make a decision about his marriage. At that time, he was in a difficult situation. If he chose a daughter-in-law with a high status, it would put pressure on the heir apparent, but if chose someone with low status, wangfei was unwilling.
Therefore, he let the emperor decide this marriage. First, it prevents the heir and his wife from overthinking. Second, since the daughter-in-law was from the capital, she would not be familiar with the western border, so naturally she would dare to act too high-profile.
The more Duan Wangye thought about it, the more he felt he was wronged, causing his heart to sink.
Originally, Duan Wangye hoped that Gu Zezhi would figure it out after some time, but now he cannot be optimistic.
Seeing, Duan Wangye’s complexion had turned blue and white, Gu Chenzhi deliberately asked, “Father, what’s wrong with you?”
After a moment’s hesitation, Duan Wangye made his guess.
Gu Chenzhi also made a worried look, and after pondering for a moment, he proposed, “Father, in that case, why don’t we pick a better one for Zezhi…?”
“You mean…” Duan Wangye raised his brows.
Gu Chenzhi suppressed his agitation and said methodically, ”This is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, we can only oblige and had no other choice. But, isn’t Zezhi now a county king? A county king is allowed to have two side concubines…”
Duan Wangye was moved by Gu Chenzhi’s words, but still said. “Let this wangye think about it.”
Qin Jiu, the consort had yet to passed the gate, if they hurriedly sent a side concubine to him, wasn’t that a clear statement to the emperor that they were dissatisfied with the marriage bestowed by the emperor himself?
The corners of Gu Chenzhi’s lips curled higher as he added, “Father, I’ve heard Wang Yu’s daughter, the county princess and her cousin went to the capital along with the third prince.”
Wang Yu?! Duan Wangye never expected that Gu Chenzhi would mention Wang Yu, after all, the world knew that the emperor and Wang Yu were at odds.
Gu Chenzhi seemed to have read Duan Wangye’s mind and continued, “Father, if Zezhi marries this cousin and takes her as a side consort, on one hand, it will alleviate the influence of the Third Miss Qin on Zezhi and on the other hand ……”
An ambitious light flashed in Gu Chenzhi’s eyes, which flicked and immediately faded, as he weighed his words. “Everyone knows that Wang Yu …… has never given up on that position, and all these years are just fledging, and since the emperor made an oath to the later emperor, he can’t touch Wang Yu and instead let Wang Yu have the opportunity to recuperate and live a long life.”
Duan Wangyu also knows about this.
“No!” Duan Wangye flatly refused.

Gu Chenzhi: “…”
Gu Chenzhi was silent, he had guessed the beginning and induced the process, but had not expected this ending.
“And this Third Miss Qin, I have seen her and regardless of her selfishness she’s still filial to the wangfei, and Zezhi is also very satisfied with his future wife, so the family is in harmony.”
Duan Wangye locked eyes with Gu Chenzhi before raising his hand and patted Gu Chenzhi’s shoulder, he then said with a straight face, “There’s no need to bring this matter up again.”
“Father…”
Gu Chenzhi still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Duan Wangye, “Chenzhi, you rest well, don’t bother your mind with this, father will leave first.”
Gu Chenzhi: “….”
Gu Chenzhi got up and wanted to send Duan Wangye off, but was dismissed by the latter. “There’s no need to see me off.”
