Chapter 82 The Third Master of the Gu Family
The old Duke took action with a firm attitude, and Gu Changheng had no room to resist. But even so, he was extremely indifferent to the matter of getting married, and was determined to be a tool to be manipulated at this wedding.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Gu Changting discovered that the reason why his younger brother was so quiet was not only because he was unable to resist this marriage, but also because of a woman!
It is rare to find a man like Gu Changheng who has lost his mind for a woman in the entire capital. The masters in the Duke of Ying's Mansion are also very clear about his character.

Gu Changheng would do anything to disregard all consequences and lose his mind for a woman, but this time he did it not for Su Wanzhi, whom he had been thinking about for more than ten years, but for an unknown woman, which made Gu Changheng look at him sideways.

Before, because of the mess between Gu Changheng and Su Wanzhi, everyone tried to persuade, beat, and punish him, but he just wouldn't change his ways. He even lied to them on the surface, and had an affair with her secretly, wholeheartedly focusing on that woman who could not be touched.

I don't know what method that woman had to make Gu Changheng, a man who only had that precious girl in his eyes, worry about her so much that he runs out every day, busy renting a house for the girl to settle down, busy repairing the house for the girl, and busy dealing with those extremely bad relatives for the girl.

Gu Changting found each and every one of these cases hard to believe, even though they were personally investigated by his own men.

Is it because that girl looks a bit like Su Wanzhi?

His mother had done this before, but he had always treated all the women he found as trash. But now he was doing this, and Gu Changting couldn't understand it at all.

Gu Changting couldn't understand, but Shu Yunfu could understand it very well, because that girl was none other than Gu Yutong!

In order to get Gu Changheng to take the bait, she personally drew up a whole strategy plan for Gu Yutong. If it was really useless, why would she spend so much time and effort to find such a person?

Why can those love stories be passed down for thousands of years? It is because there are many hardships in their love stories. Only love that has experienced countless hardships and obstacles can truly last, just like Gu Changheng and Su Wanzhi.

She is also someone who has read countless novels and has a lot of tricks in her mind, which is enough for Gu Yutong to play with Gu Changheng slowly.

Now it seems that Su Niang really found the right person this time. Gu Yutong is really capable and her efforts were not in vain.

That's good. She is looking forward to the day when Gu Yutong completely replaces Sun Wanzhi's position in Gu Changheng's heart. What kind of expression will appear on Lady Su's weak but vicious face at that time? She is looking forward to it. Anyway, she will definitely not be so proud anymore!
However, although these are closely related to Shu Yunfu, she doesn't care about Gu Changheng. If she doesn't care, it has nothing to do with her at all.

With good food and drink every day and no other troubles, his complexion became rosy in just a few days and his nails began to grow again. He lived a very comfortable life.

The entire capital city became quiet and stable because of the court's pursuit of the Liangyi Sect and the incident involving the third son of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, Mr. Meng. Of course, there was another reason, and that was the Autumn Examination was about to begin!

The autumn examination, held every three years, is not only a great opportunity for students to change their lives, but also a great opportunity for the imperial court to select talents and for officials to win over talents.

No matter what happened before, the capital city must calm down as the autumn exam approaches, giving candidates a stable exam environment. The exam is just a few days away, and some candidates are so excited that they want to read a few more pages of books, some are so confident that they want to take the exam in the best condition, and some are making friends everywhere to find another shortcut for themselves. In short, because of these candidates, the literary style in the capital city is very grand recently.

Shu Yunfu was very interested in any poetry meetings, literary gatherings and gatherings held in the capital recently. If it were not difficult to go out recently, she would really like to join in the fun. She had not yet experienced the autumn examination and really wanted to witness this grand event with her own eyes.

But those were just the excitement outside. Naturally, there was also excitement in the Duke of England's Mansion. With the arrival of the Autumn Examination, the third master of the Duke of England's Mansion, the youngest son of the old Duke, and Gu Changting's biological brother, Gu Changning, returned!
Because of Qin's concubine's incident, the old Duchess' wife, who was six months pregnant, was stimulated and had a miscarriage. Gu Changning was born prematurely when she was only eight months old. The old Duchess' wife had premature hemorrhage and although she luckily survived, she also lost the ability to have children again and her health has been poor ever since.

At that time, everyone believed that the fetus was "seven to eight times dead", and Gu Changning, a premature baby, was identified as a child who would not live long from the moment he was born.

He had been weak and sickly since childhood, but was taken care of meticulously, using all kinds of nourishing food and medicinal materials. The energy and effort required to raise a premature baby, whose life could be taken away by a small cold, into a handsome man was incalculable.

But this is how Gu Changning grew up, under the careful care of everyone in the Duke of England's mansion. In everyone's eyes, Gu Changning was a fragile glass figure.

When facing him, I always become cautious involuntarily.

But as Gu Changning grew up, he began to show his intelligence and excellence, and at the same time his self-awareness began to awaken. He clearly knew that he was different from others.

His life is more fragile than others. There are many things that others can do but he cannot. Even if he grows up safely, he will never be able to get rid of this frail body. His lifespan is also shorter than that of ordinary people. A small cold may take his life at any time.

So after knowing his own situation, Gu Changning really couldn't accept it at first. He felt sad, unwilling, and even jealous.

But no amount of emotion could change the condition of his body, and it took him a long time to accept his fate, let himself go, and begin to change his emotions.

After a long talk with his parents and brothers, he decided to do what he wanted to do in his limited life, and he was not willing to marry and drag down an innocent woman.

Because he had the support of his capable elder brother Gu Changting, and because of the guilt the old Duke and his wife had always felt, they could not persuade him, and in the end they could only respect his decision.

Gu Changning's greatest hobby is to travel across the continent and see the wonders of the world, but his body does not allow it, so he reads books, lots and lots of books.

In this era without mobile phones, computers, or media, books encompass the entire world.
