If I admit what happened back then, I would still feel ashamed.

Isn't it shameful for Prince Jing to marry a woman who had given birth to a child and was divorced?

The reason why the emperor made such arrangements was because he had never thought of making Song Mingli the Princess of Jing.

What he originally thought of was the royal concubine.

But seeing his son's attitude, the emperor compromised and said, "The position of concubine is enough."

"Before you marry the princess, she can take care of the inner house for you, and no one will put pressure on her."

Chu Yanchen knelt there straight, refusing to give in at all, "I will not humiliate her like this."

"I have felt so ashamed of the humiliation and suffering I have endured over the past six or seven years."

"I beg you, father, to allow me to make up for my mistakes... If you disagree, then I beg you to depose me from my title."

"You..." The emperor raised his hand and pointed at him.

Chu Yanchen had a resolute face and tough lines, his face was full of determination and stubbornness.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and then he smiled.

"You have chosen this path, but it is not easy to walk on it. In my opinion, the Song family may not want to climb up your ladder."

"Go ahead. If she agrees, bring them mother and son into the palace."

Chu Yanchen thought that his father would continue to be in a stalemate with him for a while.

If he is not beaten or scolded, his title should be temporarily stripped as a threat and warning.

Unexpectedly, my father picked it up high and put it down gently.

Is this because the emperor favors him? Or is it because Song and Jingyou also cater to the emperor's favor?

If he remembered correctly, his father had rewarded Song Mingli with many treasures a few days ago, right?

"Thank you, father!" Chu Yanchen hurriedly thanked him and left the palace.

No matter what the reason is, the most urgent task is to get this done!

To avoid any further troubles.

As long as he could bring Song Mingli and Jingyou back and recognize his wife and children, his mission would be accomplished.

After the dust settles, as for what people say.

He never cared.

After leaving the palace, Chu Yanchen spurred his horse and rushed straight to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.

……

Song Yanzhou's men sent Gu Qingshan back to Changning Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Qingshan was completely confused.

He didn't know why he met a carriage exactly the same as his on the way after leaving Prince Jing's Mansion.

When the two carriages were running side by side, the drivers jumped up and swapped the carriages.

Immediately afterwards, he was taken to the casino and placed at the gambling table.

He was in pain all over and had no intention of gambling.

But with a pile of chips in front of him, it would be a waste not to play with them.

Anyway, the chips are not his and cannot be exchanged, so he might as well play a few games with him.

I didn't expect that it's so easy to get addicted to gambling.

He was nervous in the first few games, but after winning a few games, the envious and flattering voices around him made him feel elated.

Soon, his "beginner's luck" may have run out, and he lost several rounds in a row.

He almost lost his temper.

When he was taken away from the gambling table by his brother-in-law Song Yanzhou, he not only lost all the chips piled in front of him.

He even bet his precious jade ring and lost the bet.

When he was at the gambling table, he even completely forgot about his injuries and didn't feel any pain at all.

When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he was still confused.

Originally, he didn't understand what Prince Jing and Song Mingli were up to.

After the baptism of fire at the gambling table, he was now even more confused.

All he could think of was "Big, big! Small, small!"

All he could hear were cheers and the sound of dice rolling.

He was totally unable to calm down and think.

Until Song Yanzhou brought him here and then left.

Song Mingli brought everyone from the Gu family to see him.

His grandmother, mother, cousin, and two children all surrounded his bed.

Gu Changhai didn't come to the bedside. He sat there lazily, secretly glancing at Song Mingli from time to time. Before Song Mingli noticed, he quickly lowered his head.

Madam Gu and Madam Sun sat by the bed, holding Gu Qingshan’s hands and crying.

Su Yi held Gu Huai and Gu Jia's hands, her face full of grievance and resentment.

"Gu Lang, Huai'er and Jia Jia... have become illegitimate children! Gu Lang..." Su Yi cried softly.

Gu Qingshan couldn't care about them at this moment.

Gu Qingshan pushed away the old lady and Madam Sun’s hands and looked at Song Mingli expectantly.

"You asked my brother to take me back. That means you agree to my proposal and plan to live a good life with me, right?"

Song Mingli hasn't spoken yet.

Su Yi called out first, "Cousin!"

Gu Qingshan didn't even look at her, "Shut up!"

Su Yi hugged her two children and started crying.

Song Mingli suddenly remembered the last day of his life in his previous life.

Su Yi wore a hairpin that was left by her mother, and stood in front of her bed, showing off her love and her two children...

Madam Gu and Mrs. Sun probably thought that Su Yi's crying was too unlucky.

They both shouted at the same time, "Shut up! Stop crying!"

"It's a good thing that Shan'er is back. You're crying so hard that the whole house is depressed!"

Su Yi looked at Sun in astonishment, "Aunt..."

"Grandma, why do you say that about my mother?!" Gu Jia said angrily.

Sun pulled Gu Jia over and frowned as she taught him, "She is not your mother, she is Aunt Su. Look, Song is your mother."

Sun warned Gu Jia.

"Remember? If you call me the wrong name again, you won't have any beautiful clothes or jewelry! Do you understand?"

"Remember...Grandma." Gu Jia held back tears, bowed to Song Mingli, and whispered, "Mother."

Song Mingli smiled when she heard this. She didn't care much about what Sun said. Anyway, she was going to divorce her husband.

Su Yi collapsed and sat on the ground. The man who defended her and admitted that she was his mother's daughter - now "betrayed" her for beautiful clothes and jewelry.

“Alright, Gu Qingshan has found it for you. If you have anything to say, just chat slowly.”

Song Mingli admired the scene of their collapse, feeling satisfied and ready to leave.

“Mingli, don’t leave! Let’s talk!” Gu Qingshan said urgently.

He glanced at the others, "Alright, you've all seen me, I'm fine, you all can go now!"

Gu Qingshan impatiently drove the others away.

He told Song Mingli everything that happened back then...

Prince Jing would probably not let him live. Now the only one who can save his life is Song Mingli!

As long as Song Mingli holds a grudge against Prince Jing, he still has a chance!

After Gu Qingshan drove away the rest of the Gu family, he lowered his voice and said anxiously, "I'll help you deal with Prince Jing!"

"It was he who coveted your beauty back then! But he refused to marry you, and even wanted to humiliate me and possess you! That's why what happened later happened!"

Song Mingli frowned and looked at Gu Qingshan.

“You and I are both victims! Harmed by Prince Jing!” Gu Qingshan swallowed his saliva, “Let’s join forces to deal with Prince Jing!”

Song Mingli couldn't help but sneer, "Were you in the casino and lost your mind from gambling?"

Gu Qingshan frowned, "You don't think that if you tell Prince Jing, he will acknowledge you as mother and son, right?"

"I'm telling you, no! I'm a man and I understand men better than you do!"
