C1 Marry the Daughter of the Gu Family

"You must marry the daughter of the Gu family, regardless of whether you control Mu's or not. This is a must."

Midsummer.

The weather was hot.

A dignified voice sounded in the hall. The voice wasn't loud, but the person who heard it knew the weight of the words.

The person who said this was sitting on the sofa. He hadn't been here for more than five minutes.

The lordmaster had always been swift and decisive, and had always been strong and cautious. Now that his words were spoken so neatly, there was obviously no room for error.

Mu Xiuci sat there for less than half an hour. After confirming this fact, he got up and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and asked: "How many daughters does the Gu family have?"

The old man's tightly knitted eyebrows loosened. He knew that Ye Zichen had agreed, and his expression immediately relaxed.

"Two."

A trace of light flashed through Mu Xiuci's pair of deep black eyes. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a faint smile: "That doesn't sound too bad."

"Thank you. Give me a chance to choose. "

His mouth was filled with words of thanks, but they were also full of sarcasm. His long legs were spread out, his jacket was in his other hand, and he was indifferently striding into the world outside the hall.

Gu family in the south of the city.

Gu Shinian came back through the rain, crossed the high old-fashioned threshold, and ran, not toward the hall at all, but towards the side room.

With a "squeak", he pushed open the door and dodged the rain. He let out a breath, put down his bag, and took a towel to wipe his hair.

"Knock knock knock." There was a sound outside the door.

"Year by year?"

It was the voice of the servant, Mei.

Gu Shinian was afraid that she had also gotten wet, so she hurried to open the door for her.

"Sister Mei, why are you here now?" Gu Shinian was surprised. Mei was holding onto an umbrella, looking distant and embarrassed.

"It's like this, the old master wants you to come over," Mei said with a smile, holding a big black umbrella that was just large enough to hold two people. "It's not in the study, so I told you to put it on properly.

These words came as a surprise.

In the ten years since Gu Shinian had entered the Gu family, she had long since been completely subdued by this old-fashioned family system, just like a little slave who had adapted to the feudal patriarchal system.

Secondly, she also recognized a fact. The Gu family was big, so it didn't matter what rules they set. Since she was the lowest of people, she could just obediently accept their insults.

"I understand, then wait for me for a moment."

Gu Shinian closed the door with a suspicious look on her face, "Wear the best clothes … Entering through the main entrance … What are you trying to do? "

Gu Shinian remembered entering the Gu household through the main entrance when she was eight years old.

At the age of eight, she stepped over the tall threshold and introduced herself in front of all the adults with a flushed face, "My name is Gu Shinian, I take care of you, when it's time, it's the new year."

Other than Old Man Gu, the rest of the family were eating their melon seeds to watch the show. No one stood up to welcome her.

Gu Shinian didn't know any of this. She had moved into her own room with her chest puffed out.

Of course, every three days, he would be chased out and thrown into a cold side room to sleep!

The reason was because he was stealing something! His hands and feet were not clean!

I'm not clean your head!

At that time, Gu Shinian was still young and could not control her temper as she fought back hysterically. The final result was naturally a beating! After thinking about it, he would roll into the side room to sleep!
