Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 116 Disappointing Father

Gu Shen's complexion changed drastically, Gu Yanwen naturally noticed it immediately, she became a little flustered on the spot, constantly reflecting on herself, why didn't she hold back just now, and aimed at this shameless fox in front of her?
Now that my father is angry, what should I do?
Aunt Xiang was naturally intimidated by Gu Shen's expression. After many years of husband and wife, how could she not know anything about the person next to her pillow?
Outsiders say that among the two lords in Gu's mansion, the eldest lord is the best, proficient in everything from culture to martial arts, he is the most beloved and valued son of the grand master of the dynasty; , but it is useless, except for fighting cocks, walking dogs, and chasing sparrows for a little fun, it is actually a piece of trash that can understand everything.

Therefore, every time outsiders mentioned the two masters of the Gu family, they would hold the other and step on them, and they were never stingy in belittling the second masters of the Gu family who were ineffective.

But Aunt Xiang knows best that this Gu Shen is definitely not as useless as outsiders say; he can write elegant and smart characters, and he can read all the books in the Gu family's collection before he is 13 years old and recite them by heart. , can bend a bow and ride a horse, although he can't reach the hundred-step piercing, but he still has a masculine demeanor; how can such a person be a real waste?
But in the face of rumors and gossip outside, Gu Shen never explained, and never showed his intelligence in front of outsiders, as if he did this to make people misunderstand that he is an irresponsible person and that he is a mediocre person.

Although Aunt Xiang didn't understand why Gu Shen created such an illusion for herself, she was keenly aware that she must not tell Gu Shen what she had discovered; he had painstakingly concealed it over the years, even her father and elder brother He kept everything secret from him. If he knew that he had noticed something strange about him, with his heart, he and Ling'er would not have a good life.

In Aunt Xiang's heart, she has never dared to underestimate Gu Shen, she was even more afraid of Gu Shen than she was in awe of the old man; Animals taught her to recognize in turn.

At that time, her father said a word to her, that is, never be afraid of fierce tigers, but stay away from water snakes dormant in the grass.

At that time, she didn't understand what her father meant when he said this sentence, until she realized Gu Shen's secret, then she vaguely understood the true meaning of this sentence.

Facing the fierce tiger, she can choose to dodge, but if she is facing a cunning water snake hiding in the dark and spitting snake letters, she probably doesn't even know where to dodge.

Gu Shen felt like a water snake to her, making her tremble, making her afraid, making her have to force a smile to cope, just to survive by his side.

Right now, seeing Gu Shen's changed face, Aunt Xiang was almost the most frightened. When she was so frightened, she didn't even dare to speak. She could only look down at the tip of her shoe uneasily, wishing she could shrink back. Get up and immediately disappear in front of Gu Shen.

Although Gu Yanwen was also afraid of her father, her fear was not as deep as Aunt Xiang's. Therefore, after seeing her father's displeased expression, Gu Yanwen naturally knew why her father was angry.

Now that her father loves this vixen as an eyeball, she naturally wants to wrong herself and treat it as feeding the dog, let her taste it.

Therefore, Gu Yanwen personally took a piece of mung bean cake and walked up to Aunt Xiang, and purposely called out to Aunt Xiang sweetly in front of her father, offered the mung bean cake with both hands, and said, "Please give me some advice."

Looking at the crystal clear green cake in front of her, Aunt Xiang naturally had no appetite at all, but she was even more afraid of the gloomy aura emanating from Gu Shen.

So, she simply didn't do anything, closed her eyes and immediately took the mung bean cake from Gu Yanwen's hand, then stuffed it into her mouth, chewed and swallowed it as fast as she could.

Faced with Aunt Xiang's actions, both Gu Yanwen and Gu Shen were a little stunned, but Gu Yanwen was stunned because she was startled by Aunt Xiang's rude actions, while Gu Shen felt that Aunt Xiang's actions were a bit irritating. Naive, really has another cute style in it.

Swallowing a mouthful of mung bean cake, Aunt Xiang didn't even taste the taste, but facing the eyes of Gu Yanwen and Gu Shenqi, she had to bite the bullet and said: "Young lady, this cake is really delicate and delicious. , it seems that from now on, the concubine will no longer dare to claim to be dexterous."

Hearing Aunt Xiang praise herself like this, although Gu Yanwen doubted the sincerity in it, she couldn't help being happy; after all, everyone likes to hear nice words, right?

Gu Shen looked at Aunt Xiang who was trembling, knowing that it would be difficult for her to make her do this today, and now, he has no interest in seeing her cautious in front of him, so let her step down first, Gu Yanwen was left alone in the study.

Aunt Xiang left the study almost as if fleeing for her life, and was about to walk back to her yard when the maid supported her limp body and took a few breaths; God knows that in the study just now, she really felt that she was comparable to Live like years.

in the study

Gu Yanwen stood obediently in front of her biological father, looking at his father's face that resembled her uncle's, she felt quite critical; she didn't understand why his eldest uncle was an outstanding figure despite being born of the same father and mother, while she But her biological father is so inactive; this question has haunted her for many years, and she would foolishly go to her mother to ask about it before, but later she grew up and gradually accepted her fate, and would no longer go to her mother's house. As a shame, asking these answers would make her feel very humiliated even if she knew the answers.

Right now, although her father is not as good as Gu Yanxi's biological father, he is the only one she can rely on in Gu's residence, so when necessary, she still needs to please her.

However, what Gu Yanwen didn't expect was that the moment she appeared in front of Gu Shen, the plan in her heart would be seen through by him at a glance; this daughter of his has really grown up, and now even her biological father dares to plan, see Lai Jiang's departure really dealt a huge blow to her, otherwise how could Gu Yanwen change so much.

Gu Shen leaned on the back of the chair, and didn't bother to get the pastry. To him, it was delicious, but if the person who sent it had other intentions, it would destroy the sincerity of the gift, and naturally it would make the pastry more delicious. He lost his appetite.

Seeing the smart girl in front of him now, Gu Shen felt a little distressed, no matter how stupid she was, she was his own flesh and blood, and he would feel pity in the end.

"Wenwen, have you been able to live in Hengguangyuan these days? Although your mother was abandoned by me, those were all her faults and have nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I will take good care of you as a father. your."

Gu Yanwen listened to her biological father's words, endured the cold sneer in her heart, showed the appearance of a poor child who had lost her mother's protection, touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Thank you father for your concern, my daughter is doing well during this time , just thinking of the mother who was sent away, it is inevitable that I still feel a little heartbroken; but, thinking of the fact that there is still a father taking care of her in the Gu residence, the daughter still has a little dependence on her."

Gu Shen said: "You are my child, so I will naturally take care of you, but Wenwen, you have to know a word, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, now the entire Gu mansion is almost decided by your grandfather and your uncle, No matter if you are facing Xiyunyuan or Furongyuan, you can no longer be as unscrupulous as before, especially when you treat Gu Yanxi, put away your dissatisfaction and resentment. It's far inferior to her Gu Yanxi's preciousness, if you get into trouble again, I'm afraid even being a father won't be able to protect you."

What Gu Yanwen can't hear the most now is that she can't compare to Gu Yanxi, she doesn't understand, she is obviously a girl from the Gu family, why should she be shorter in front of Gu Yanxi?
Thinking of how her body was ruined by her schemes, her mother was implicated by her, and Gu Yanxi designed her to be divorced, how could she easily forget each and every one of them?

What made her feel the most chilling was that after so many things happened, it was fine if her father didn't stand by her side to care about her and protect her, but he even warned her not to let her provoke Gu Yanxi. Could it be that in the eyes of her father, Is she so worthless as a daughter?

Or is it true that father is so afraid of uncle?Are you afraid of making your uncle's family unhappy?
A sneer appeared at the corner of Gu Yanwen's mouth, because she thought of what her mother had said to her, that her biological father would never be comparable to Gu Yanxi's father, not even the most ordinary father in the world.

He can only compromise, and it's fine if he is wronged, even his wife and children have to suffer wronged with him. He has no backbone of a man at all, and he doesn't have the lofty demeanor of a family-friendly man. A rice worm lodged in the granary of Gu's mansion, just waiting to sit and eat, and has never been enterprising.

Before, she didn't understand why her mother was so disappointed in her father, but now, she finally understood the sadness of her mother when she said these words to her.

As a wife, how could she feel safe marrying such a man?
As a child, with such a father, how good can she live in this life?

It seems that from her father, she will always get nothing but disappointment, and the hope of wanting him to avenge herself and her mother may not be realized; but she will never accept her fate easily, since others cannot be relied on, then she will rely on her She didn't believe herself that Gu Yanxi would always have the last laugh.
