The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Chapter 597 I won’t marry anyone but her

Meanwhile, after leaving Zhang, Chen asked the servants and learned that her son had returned home and was now in the study. She immediately went to find her son.

When Gu Xiuhong saw his mother pushing the door open, he could guess without asking why his mother came. She just wanted to persuade him to marry a girl of equal status as his wife, and then take A Yuan as a concubine.

He got straight to the point and said, "Mother, if it's still about that matter, then there's no need to say more."

Chen heard this as soon as she came in. She immediately became angry and said with a stern face: "You want to marry that widow, but I don't agree. What's so good about that widow? Not only is she older than you, but she's not a pure and innocent girl."

Gu Xiuhong's face darkened, and he replied, "She is only two years older than me, and she has only been married before, so how can she not be innocent? According to what mother said, aren't all married women in this world not innocent? The Emperor and the Empress both advocate that widows remarry. Look at Third Aunt's father, his third and fourth wives were both widows."

As soon as these words came out, Chen remembered that Zhang had also used Meng Dongyuan as an example. Now her son also used Meng Dongyuan as an example. She was immediately very angry, as if her own cabbage was being eaten by a pig. She said angrily: "How can Master Meng be the same as you? He was married and had children, but you are not only unmarried, you have never even had a maid."

Gu Xiuhong frowned and asked, "According to mother's logic, if I had a maidservant, wouldn't it be unfair to the girl if I married a virgin girl in the future?"

Chen asked without hesitation: "How can men and women be the same?"

Gu Xiuhong disagreed and said, "How is it different? Women come out of women's bellies, so men don't come out of women's bellies either? Since they all come out of women's bellies, what's the difference?"

Chen was stunned, unable to refute for a moment, and even agreed with her son's words to some extent.

Gu Xiuhong glanced at her and said, "If mother still doesn't agree, then I won't marry you."

Hearing this, Chen was stunned again, not quite understanding why her son suddenly figured it out, but this was also a good thing, so she immediately smiled and said in a friendly manner: "Son, it's good that you think this way. Your cousin Lingyi is not bad, she is an excellent girl, you should spend more time with her."

Gu Xiuhong replied: "I may not marry A Yuan, but I will not marry anyone else either."

Chen's smile froze and her brows furrowed. "Xiuhong, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the only son of the second branch. If you don't marry, won't our second branch be extinct?"

"How can there be no descendants?" Gu Xiuhong smiled and shook his head, then continued, "The Gu family is also a noble family with many descendants. We can just adopt a child from the clan. If you want to have a grandson as soon as possible, I will ask the mistress and arrange for the adoption so that you can have a big fat grandson this year."

Chen was so angry at her remarks that her forehead throbbed with pain. She pointed at him and cursed: "You, you, you rebellious son! You really make me mad!"

Gu Xiuhong lowered his eyes, looking depressed: "Mother, please calm down. It's just that it's rare to have both in this world. Father and mother can't accept A Yuan as their daughter-in-law, so I won't marry her. But I can't betray A Yuan either, so please forgive me for not marrying another girl."

Chen not only did not calm down, but became even more angry. She cursed at everything in her anger: "You bastard! If I had known, I would not have married your sister off. I would have let Xuanling find a live-in son-in-law to carry on the family line for the second branch. Now that I think about it, Xuanling is still the best. Xuanling is obedient, well-behaved and filial. Except for not being born from my belly, she is better than you in every way. You are the one who should be married off, you bastard!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiuhong was silent for a while, and then he said something shocking: "Otherwise, mother, marry your son off now? Although Ayuan's parents already have a son, I don't think they will refuse such an excellent son-in-law like me."

Chen's eyes went dark after hearing his shocking remarks. She held on to the antique shelf beside her to steady herself. She said in disbelief, "What did you say? You still want to be a live-in son-in-law? You are such a worthless bastard! You are a son of a noble family, but you are the son-in-law of a widow from a small family. If this gets out, people will laugh at you! You are shameless, but your father and I still have some dignity!"

Gu Xiuhong took a few steps forward, helped Chen sit down, poured her another cup of tea, and said gently, "Mother, calm down. Don't get angry and hurt yourself."

Chen refused to take the tea he handed over. Her face was twisted with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are really my good son. I didn't expect that you, a bastard, would have a fetish for widows!"

Gu Xiuhong placed the teacup on the small tea table and replied, "My son doesn't have such a fetish, it's just that the girl he likes happens to be a widow."

Chen frowned and complained, "What's so good about her? You must marry her. I've seen her. She's only pretty, not beautiful. She's been married before. Her family isn't high-class. Her father took exams all his life and only managed to pass the imperial examination. Her brother is a bit promising. He passed the imperial examination and was awarded an official position, but he's just a low-ranking official. He can't help you in your career."

Gu Xiuhong asked disapprovingly: "Mother, does marriage have to be related to interests?"

Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "Not really, it's just...it's just that she's been married before and is a widow. If she has any outstanding qualities, I would accept her even if she is a widow of a humble family."

Gu Xiuhong said solemnly: "Mother, being married is just her past, not her stain. In your eyes, she may be ordinary in every way, but in my eyes, she is an excellent girl."

Chen took a deep breath to calm her anger and said in a deep voice, "I think you are possessed by a ghost!"

Gu Xiuhong remained silent, looking at his furious mother calmly, thinking about how to get his parents to agree to the marriage.

After a long silence, Chen asked hesitantly, "Xiu Hong, is it because she is pestering you that you can't tell whether you are sympathizing with her or whether she is a man or a woman?"

"Mother, how could you have such an idea?" Gu Xiuhong gave her a strange look. "It was obviously your son who pestered her. If her ex-husband hadn't died long ago, I would have made her divorce. This way, she wouldn't have to waste another three years mourning for that beast."

Chen's eyes widened in shock: "You, what did you say? You actually wanted to take someone else's wife? If you like her so much, why don't you stop her parents from forcing her to get married?"

"Have you forgotten, mother? I went with you to Furong City to see your best friend for the last time. I stayed in Furong City for a while. It was several months later when I returned to the capital, and she had already married." After Gu Xiuhong said this, a trace of pain flashed across his face. It was all fate, and he could not blame anyone.

After hearing this, Chen fell silent.

After returning to the capital, she found that something was wrong with her son. He locked himself in the study and read day and night. She did not think much about it. It was a good thing that her son was motivated, so she just wanted her son to balance work and rest and not ruin his health.

Now after hearing what her son said, she realized that he was trying to divert his attention because he was sad about his lover getting married.
