Li Yanxiu continued: "Our marriage has been delayed for such a long time, and we don't care if we delay it for a few more years. We can get married after you retire from the position of generalissimo."
Having said that, Li Yanxiu's expression was very forced, and his body movements were also very forced. He just tried to look like he was happy.
It was like being raped, it was hard to describe.
Gu Mo was cleaning the spear. Although the war was over, she had a hunch that the spear would still be useful to her.
Now, because of Li Yanxiu's inexplicable words, he didn't even want to clean his gun. He just threw the handkerchief aside and stood up with the gun in hand.
"Li Yanxiu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Li Yanxiu, "...??"
He was immediately startled by Gu Mo's ferocious expression.
Gu Mo, "I treat you as a good brother who fights side by side, but you want to get married to me??"
Li Yanxiu swallowed and grabbed Gu Mo's hand, "You, you really treat me as a brother and don't want to marry me at all?"
Gu Mo, "What else?"
Li Yanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I think so too, but..."
Li Yanxiu changed the subject and said: "When I touched yours, yours,... well, that, I have to be responsible for you after all. Just because you treat me as a brother, I can't stop being responsible, but don't worry,
After we get married, we will become more intimate and we can continue to be brothers..."
Gu Mo directly kicked Li Yanxiu away.
What's wrong?
Li Yanxiu was hurt by the fall and got up from the ground with an ouch.
Just as he was about to accuse Gu Mo, someone suddenly came in and reported that it was Mr. Huang's wife who wanted to see him.
Gu Mo had no impression of Master Huang, but Li Yanxiu whispered: "Master Huang and General Gu have always had a close relationship."
When Li Yanxiu said this, Gu Mo suddenly remembered something. Her father seemed to have arranged a marriage for her, and the other party was the young master of the Huang family. However, after something happened to the Gu family, the Huang family seemed to have unilaterally proposed to break off the engagement.
Gu Mo didn't feel much about it. It was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. With the Gu family's situation at that time, it was understandable that the Huang family was afraid of being implicated.
I just don’t know why Mrs. Huang came to see her today.
Thinking about it, Gu Mo asked someone to bring Mrs. Huang in.
Li Yanxiu avoided suspicion and went to the back of Yingbishi.
After a while, Mrs. Huang came in with a smile on her face, and held Gu Mo's hand very affectionately, calling her "Xiao Mo Xiao Mo."
When Gu Mo saw her smile, he always had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next moment, the premonition came true, because Mrs. Huang said that she was here to fulfill the marriage contract between the two families and propose marriage for her son.
Gu Mo, "..."
His face was expressionless just now, but now his expression is a little cold.
"I'm afraid Mrs. Huang has forgotten that you have already broken off your engagement with my Gu family before, and our two families have no longer been engaged."
Mrs. Huang sighed, "Xiao Mo, the situation was so pressing that our Huang family had no choice but to announce to the public that we had broken off the engagement with you. I hope you can understand the difficulties of my Huang family, but even if my Huang family announced to the public
I broke off the engagement with you. In my aunt's heart, you will always be the daughter-in-law of my Huang family. Now that the limelight has passed and your father has been exonerated, it is time to put the marriage on the agenda. After all, you are not young anymore.
, if you delay it any longer, you will become an old girl. If your father knows what he is doing, I am afraid he will also be unhappy..."
Mrs. Huang just tried to excuse the Huang family's previous behavior, and mentioned Gu Mo's age by the way.
She didn't believe that a girl of this age would not be anxious about her marriage.
Especially for a tough girl like Gu Mo, it was impossible to find a good husband. Now that she came to propose marriage in person, Gu Mo was so happy that he wished he could marry into her Huang family right away.
Gu Mo saw Mrs. Huang's expression in his eyes and figured out the underlying meaning of her words.
She had no complaints when the Huang family broke off the engagement, but since the Huang family broke off the engagement to protect themselves when the Gu family was in crisis, you should not go back and ask her to fulfill the engagement now.
Moreover, he was belittling her in various ways, as if she was really unbearable and that being able to marry into the Huang family was a blessing she had earned over several lifetimes.
The polite smile on Gu Mo's face had long since disappeared, "There are a few things that Mrs. Huang needs to figure out."
"First, no matter what your Huang family thought at the beginning, since your Huang family announced the cancellation of this engagement, there is no reason to ask me to continue to fulfill the engagement now."
"Second, I don't care what my age is, so what does it have to do with Mrs. Huang?"
"Thirdly, my father is well-informed. If he knew that I didn't have to marry into a family like yours, and would only be happy for me, how could he die in peace? What's more, no matter what I do now, I am shining on the lintel of the Gu family, and my father is the only one who knows that I don't have to marry into a family like yours.
You will be proud of me, and nothing you are worried about will happen at all."
Gu Mo's words were sharp, and none of them were unpleasant, but none of them sounded pleasant.
Mrs. Huang's smiling face froze, and then her smile slowly faded.
Although Gu Mo's reputation in the outside world was fierce and fearsome, Mrs. Huang thought that since she was Gu Mo's future mother-in-law, Gu Mo should treat her with respect.
Unexpectedly, she was so sharp-tongued and dared to refute her words. How could she treat her as an elder?
In her opinion, such a woman is not qualified to be her daughter-in-law, and she is not willing to let her son marry such a strong and unvirtuous woman.
But there is no way, the current situation of the Huang family is not optimistic, and those who are marginalized in the court need Gu Mo's status to support them.
But how can the Huang family climb up to Gu Mo?
No, the Huang family thought of their previous engagement with the Gu family.
Mrs. Huang's idea is very simple. No matter how tough a girl is, she is married to someone else's daughter-in-law. Isn't it easy for a mother-in-law to control her daughter-in-law?
When the time comes, she will be able to make Gu Mo obediently support the men of the Huang family with just one order from her mother-in-law.
When the men of the Huang family have established a firm foothold in the court, Gu Mo will no longer be needed. At that time, how can Gu Mo show up in public and embarrass the Huang family? Naturally, he has to withdraw from the court and hand the court over to Huang.
Home.
And Gu Mo just wants An Ansheng to be his daughter-in-law, serve him, and give birth to children for the Huang family.
Therefore, marrying Gu Mo would be beneficial to the entire Huang family. The only person who felt aggrieved was her son. Such a talented and handsome scholar had to live with this vulgar and arrogant woman day and night.
But it doesn't matter. When the time comes, she will give her son some beautiful and considerate concubines and give birth to more sons, which can be regarded as compensation for her son. Gu Mo must be self-aware and dare not object.
