Looking at his second son kneeling on the ground, although Old Marquis Gu felt reluctant, he made up his mind when he thought of the Marquisate.

"Qi'er, in your heart, is the Marquis' Mansion not even as important as your wife? You said that you must not let Lian'er down, and that letting her down would cost you your life. With such serious words, have you ever thought about your parents who gave birth to you and raised you? The Marquis' Mansion gave birth to you and raised you, but now for the sake of a woman, you would rather let the Marquis' Mansion down than let Lian'er down, is that right?"

After hearing the harsh words from Old Marquis Gu, Second Master Gu felt disheartened.

The old marquis looked at his second son, whose face was gloomy, and realized that he already knew what to do. After thinking for a moment, he softened his tone and said:

"You don't have to take a concubine, even if your father forces you to do so."

Upon hearing that he didn't have to take a concubine, Master Gu cheered up. He knew that although his father didn't love him as much as he loved his elder brother and younger brother, he still loved him.

however,

"But you must give birth to the heir of the Marquis' Mansion within two years. I will ask the imperial physician to take care of you and Lian'er, and I will also ask the imperial physician for a prescription to ensure that you give birth to a boy."

Understanding what the old Marquis Gu meant, the Second Master Gu said anxiously: "But Lian'er's body is no longer able to get pregnant and have children. The imperial physician said that no matter how much you take care of her, it will endanger Lian'er's life."

When Lord Gu heard this, he showed no expression. He knew it, but

"If it's not Lian'er who gives birth, then the only option is for a concubine or another woman to give birth. Qi'er, I don't care which woman gives birth, I just want an heir to the Marquisate. Taking a concubine is your best option. Of course, it would be even better if your wife gave birth to an heir."

Now, Master Gu Er finally understood what Master Gu meant.

Therefore, he must take a concubine no matter what, and the concubine who gives birth to the heir will definitely become his wife. Otherwise, Lian'er will die in the marquis's mansion for giving birth to the heir.

But, has the father ever thought about Lian'er? Lian'er would die!

That’s right, it’s not important. His thoughts are not important, his daughter is not important, and even he is not important.

He only wanted an heir to the Marquis's Mansion. He didn't care whether Lian'er would lose her life because of this; he didn't care whether he would be sad, blame himself, and feel guilty, or even lose his life because of this; he didn't care whether their family would be broken up because of this.

He only cares about his mansion.

Therefore, because he could still have children, his family naturally became victims of the Marquis' Mansion.

In fact, it should be so. The Marquis's Mansion gave birth to him and raised him, so it is right for them to take his life.

But what does it have to do with Lian'er? Why does it involve Lian'er? Why?

He said that he would never let Lian'er down, and if he did, he would definitely go before her. But now, the Marquis's Mansion that raised and taught him wants him to let Lian'er down, to sacrifice his Lian'er and his family. What should he do?

Mr. Gu, with a pale face, staggered back to his yard and saw a beautiful scene.

Under the tree that is lush and green, but has small white flowers.

His wife and his three daughters were playing chess under a tree. A breeze blew by, and his wife gently touched her daughters' heads and seemed to say something. Only then did his youngest daughter make a move.

He knew that they were playing his favorite game, Go, which was their family's favorite activity. Most of the time, he and his wife played Go, and his daughter watched and occasionally made trouble. Sometimes, he and his daughter played Go, and his wife occasionally helped his daughter.

Seeing him come back, his daughters ran towards him with smiles on their faces, and his wife stood under the tree with a smile on her face.

Looking at his wife, at this moment, Gu Qi's eyes ached and his heart tightened, as if someone was squeezing it hard, it was very painful.

In order to prevent tears from flowing and to prevent his wife from seeing his expression, Gu Qi covered his eyes and face in front of his wife for the first time, hiding all his expressions and pain.
