Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Gu Xingyan recalled that in his previous life, his second cousin was often chased after and beaten with a cane by Uncle King Rui because he refused to get married.

It was not until five years later that he met Yang Luo who came to Sijiu City. Their meeting was full of drama, which really proved the saying "No fight, no acquaintance". It was another year later that the second cousin officially married her.

When he married her, he declared that he, Gu Xingsheng, would only love Yang Luo in his life, and if he ever broke his promise, he would be struck by lightning.

Princess Rui instead punched him, sneered at him, and told him to stop talking and prove everything with actual actions.

He dotes on his daughter-in-law, who is a miracle doctor, very much.

I don’t know whether Yang Luo will come to Daliang again in this life.

His and Wanwan's rebirth changed a lot of things. Now Yang Luo has opened a clinic in Shengjing City of Northern Jin, and his reputation has been established. There is no need for him to come to Daliang to avoid Marquis Yongning.

If his second cousin remained single for the rest of his life because of him, he would be so sorry to his second brother and Uncle Rui.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingyan decided that once things here were settled, he would propose to his elder brother and take his second brother on a diplomatic mission to Northern Jin.

There were only three brothers left in the hall.

Gu Xingcheng looked at Prince Rui Beiying who was walking away, retracted his gaze, and chuckled: "Xiao Sheng, could it be that you don't want to get married in this life? One time, your mother went to the palace to chat with the queen mother, and I found out that you didn't want the concubines she arranged for you, and drove them all out."

Thinking of this, Gu Xingsheng couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows a few times: "This is still a small matter, brother, ninth brother, do you know what my mother did later?"

The two brothers looked at each other and asked in unison: "What?"

Gu Xingsheng picked up the tea beside him and drank it unnaturally: "She, she saw that I don't like women, so my dignified and noble mother brought two jade-faced restaurants to my room. When I pushed the door open at night, under the light, two white-haired men were lying on my bed. Oh my god, I was so scared that I almost made the Rui Palace extinct."

Several people laughed. It was hard to imagine how Aunt Rui Wang could endure the heartache and send a man to her son's house.

"It's already like this, why don't you take in a concubine?"

Gu Xingsheng waved his hand: "I threw the two white strips out, then walked to my mother who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropped, and told her righteously that I like women, I am not a homosexual, I don't like this. I don't have a concubine in my backyard, I don't get married, it's not that I don't like women, it's just that I haven't met the one who makes my heart beat."

Gu Xingyan thought it was no wonder. In his previous life, five years later, his second cousin met Yang Luo at the age of 27. He fell in love with her at first sight. Aunt Wang Rui didn't care about her identity and background at all and readily agreed to marry her as her principal wife.

I think that at that time, Aunt Rui Wang had been driven crazy by her son's refusal to get married. Any mother would have agreed.

Gu Xingcheng's curiosity was aroused: "That's it? Auntie Wang Rui let you go?"

"I don't know whether she was released or not, but my father gave my mother a good scolding. She has been quiet for 132 days. Let's see how long she can hold on."

Gu Xingcheng also said helplessly: "Later, I will ask my mother to prepare a spring banquet, and then invite all the unmarried women from famous families in this city, and you can choose whatever you want."

Gu Xingsheng waved his hands as if begging for mercy: "Please don't, brother, please don't. I have seen all those women in the city. They are too pretentious and boring."

"You can't really stay single forever, right?"

Gu Xingyan interrupted, "When the time comes, that person will naturally appear. Brother, don't worry too much."

Gu Xingcheng snorted at him: "Don't talk about him. I asked my mother to hold this spring banquet for you. You are twenty-one now, and it is time to get married."

Gu Xingyan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of Li Shuangwan, the man with the pair of black pupils.

I don’t know how she is doing now, and whether she has escaped successfully from Prince Heng’s Palace.

Gu Xingsheng quickly changed the subject: "Brother, Ninth Brother, now that Ye Zhishao is dead, the selection of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards must be firmly in our hands. We must not let Concubine Chen's people take it away. I see they are watching us eagerly."

Gu Xingcheng and Gu Xingyan looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Gu Xingsheng looked at the two of them and said, "What are you laughing at? I'm serious. You know how important it is for the Imperial Guards to protect the safety of the Imperial City. I don't need to tell you. If it weren't for the fact that my uncle favored Concubine Chen and neglected my aunt during his years in office, and even let her decide the selection of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards should have been led by someone on your side a long time ago."

Neither of them spoke, just listened to him finish his words.

Gu Xingsheng looked at the two brothers in front of him and said, "Hey, I heard that Duke Shu's legitimate son will be back in a while?"

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Yes."

"Look, isn't this a ready-made candidate? No one can be more reassuring than the people in the Shu Guogong Mansion. Ninth brother, write a letter quickly and ask Shu Wenbo to return to Sijiu City as soon as possible. This important task is waiting for him to take up."

Gu Xingcheng smiled faintly and said, "He is here and has his work to do. As for you, Xiao Sheng, you have been training with Uncle Prince Rui for the past few years. It is time for you to step out and take charge on your own."

Gu Xingsheng picked up the tea beside him and drank it, chuckling: "My father didn't bring me with him to train me, he was keeping an eye on me. Sometimes he was afraid that I would become a playboy, and sometimes he was afraid that I would be too serious and not find a wife. He was brainwashed by my mother every day, and his brain was damaged."

Gu Xingcheng smiled and glared at him: "How dare you to make up stories about your own father."

Gu Xingsheng chuckled: "Don't tell my father, his cane is very painful when it hits people."

"Then tell me yourself, do you want to go it alone?"

"Of course I do. Who wouldn't want to? I have asked my father several times to let me join General Liang's army and fight the enemy, but they just wouldn't let me go. As a result, I am now neither a playboy nor a serious person. I am working as a seventh-rank city gate captain in his Jingzhao Prefecture, like an idle playboy."

Gu Xingcheng couldn't help but laugh. Only he would regard the captain of the city gate as an idle playboy.

Gu Xingyan then remembered that in his previous life, his second cousin met Yang Luo when he was on duty at the city gate.

"You want to join the army?"

"Ah."

Gu Xingcheng patted Gu Xingsheng on the shoulder and said, "Forget about joining the army. You are the only legitimate son of Uncle Rui. If I send you to the battlefield, your mother will cry to me all day long."

Gu Xingsheng looked up to the sky and sighed. Yes, his crying mother, forget it, a seventh-rank city gate captain, just a seventh-rank city gate captain, anyway, it can still be considered a serious job.

He picked up the tea and brought it to his mouth, ready to swallow the helplessness in his heart along with the tea.
