I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 6 I Will Never Marry You in This Life

In the side room, Ji Yuan and Gu An were in a stalemate for a long time. Seeing that his niece had not spoken a word, Ye Huaisu had to bite the bullet and speak first, breaking the silence.

"Brother-in-law, I know you have concerns in your heart, but no matter what, I am Wanwan's aunt. She will marry into the Duke's Mansion and have me to take care of her. Her life will not be any worse than anywhere else."

She weakly glanced at Ji Yuan, who had a dark face, and her voice suddenly became colder: "If my brother-in-law really cares about Wanwan, he should put himself in her shoes and consider her instead of using her marriage as a scapegoat."

Gu An quickly took over the conversation: "Although my wife's words are a bit blunt, they do make sense."

He said with pride, "I know the character of my two sons best. Their affection for Wanwan is obvious to all of Lin'an City. If nothing else, Wanwan will never suffer the slightest injustice when she marries into the Duke's Mansion."

Ji Yuan lowered his brows and felt very angry when he heard it.

But the marriage arranged by the Queen Mother was no small matter after all. If he rashly took his daughter away and made the girl hate him, and then let the Duke of Rong and his wife instigate her, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Thinking of this, he had to turn his attention to his daughter.

Ye Wanshu glanced at him calmly, and saw a look of hesitation in his eyes.

This doesn't work.

My dear father, you must muster up the courage to fight to the end today and fight the Gu family to the end.

She also knew that her father had not yet seen the hope in her to allow him to control her, but she was not anxious.

After all, the real show hasn't officially begun yet.

"Father."

Ye Wanshu addressed her more affectionately, "Now, besides my aunt, you are my only relative. I don't want this marriage to create any rift between you and my aunt. Don't worry, after Wanwan and the prince marry, we will definitely be filial to you in the future."

These words moved Gu An and Ye Huaisu deeply.

It was as if Gu An would skin his unfilial son alive if he dared to let his niece down in the slightest. He already felt a strong sense of pity for his niece.

"Brother-in-law."

Gu An said solemnly, "I am putting this on notice today. As long as you agree to this marriage, our two families will share weal and woe. If that rebellious son dares to do anything bad to Wanwan, I will punish him severely."

Ji Yuan fell into deep thought.

His daughter is willing to marry into the Duke's Mansion. If he insists on doing so, he will probably not get any benefits. It is better to fulfill his daughter's wish. Maybe in the future, when the Queen Mother supports a new emperor, this girl will try to preserve the prosperity and wealth of the Ji family for the sake of their father-daughter relationship.

"Since Wanwan has made her own decision, I don't want to bother with it anymore."

Ji Yuan finally compromised: "But there is one thing, that brothel girl must be sent out of the house today."

But just as he finished speaking, a loud scolding suddenly came from outside the door.

"I will never agree to that."

When they heard the voice, several people looked and saw Gu Tingzhou walking in with his head held high and chest puffed out, solemnly and majestically.

"You are a worthless person who abandoned his wife and daughter. Why do you care about my and Wanwan's affairs?"

Gu Tingzhou looked at Ji Yuan coldly, his eyes filled with hostility. "Why, now that Wanwan is about to marry into the Duke's Mansion, you're trying to curry favor with Wanwan and our Gu family?"

After finally convincing Ji Yuan, it was ruined by the arrival of this rebellious son. Gu An was so angry that he slammed the table: "Asshole, what nonsense are you talking about in front of your father-in-law?"

"What kind of father-in-law is he?" Gu Tingzhou retorted, "Does he think that just because he's favored by the emperor, he can boss around and meddle in the affairs of our mansion?"

Seeing that her father, uncle, and aunt all had gloomy faces, Ye Wanshu secretly showed joy.

But this was not enough. Not only did she want to put all the blame for the broken engagement on Gu Tingzhou, she also wanted her father, uncle and aunt to vent all their anger on him.

"Brother Zhou," she advised softly, "Father was specially invited to our house by my uncle and aunt. He is my relative and your elder. How can you say that to him?"

"Wanwan, did you take the wrong medicine?" Gu Tingzhou glared at Ye Wanshu in anger. "Have you forgotten how he treated you and your mother back then? And you're still defending him?"

Gu Tingchen seemed to understand something and shook his head sarcastically. "I was wondering why my cousin suddenly became a different person. It turns out she has the guidance of an expert. As expected of father and daughter, they will do anything to achieve their goals."

"Shut up."

Gu An stood up angrily and slapped him hard in the face: "Wanwan is wholeheartedly thinking about you brothers, how could you misunderstand her like this?"

"Has she ever thought about us?"

Gu Tingzhou said loudly, "She is just obsessed with my Rongguo Mansion and the position of the Crown Prince's wife. She has been playing with us two brothers like monkeys for years."

Looking at Ye Wanshu with hatred in his eyes, he sneered, "Wanwan, you've been planning this day for a long time, right?"

"I do not have."

Ye Wanshu looked at him calmly. She thought that she could be calm after completely breaking off ties with the two brothers, but she was still deeply hurt.

Ye Huaisu didn't understand why the two brothers had such a misunderstanding about their niece. Others didn't understand Wanwan, so how could she, as her aunt, not understand her?

If she really wanted wealth and fame, she only needed to bow her head and please her father. Then, when she returned to the Ji family, with her unparalleled beauty and status as the daughter of the Prime Minister, she could marry into the Duke's Mansion, and even become a member of the royal family.

Seeing Ji Yuan's face darken to a terrifying degree, Ye Huaisu hurriedly advised, "Tingzhou, you and Tingchen have been accompanying Wanwan in Tongyang all these years. After returning to the Duke's Mansion, she has been staying at Cuiweitang all day and has never met her father. How can you talk about plotting against her?"

"Don't be nice here."

Gu Tingzhou said, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Aren't you just worried that Tingchen and I won't treat Qingmian and Tingji well in the future, so you're trying every possible way to marry your niece into the Duke's Mansion? You two, aunt and nephew, are birds of a feather."

"Snapped."

Gu An was furious and slapped him hard in the face. The powerful force made half of Gu Tingzhou's face swell up instantly.

"Master." Ye Huaisu was so angry at his stepson that his eyes were filled with tears. It can be seen that he was beaten and looked distressed.

Gu An raised his hand with a sullen face, stopping her from speaking. He glared at Jiang Yueling with a sharp gaze, "Come here, kick this bitch out of the house immediately. We will prepare for the wedding of the prince and his cousin in a month."

A group of servants rushed in and tried to capture Jiang Yueling.

"Let's see who dares."

Gu Tingzhou's eyes turned fierce and swept across the crowd that had gathered around him. The servants were so frightened that they all stood there in a daze.

"Are you satisfied with how things have turned out?"

Gu Tingzhou turned his vicious gaze towards Ye Wanshu: "Do you think that with the Queen Mother's blessing for marriage, you can get what you want? I tell you, unless I die, I will never marry you in this lifetime."

Finally hearing these words, Ye Wanshu breathed a sigh of relief, but pretended to collapse to the ground powerlessly.
