Chapter 242: Unpleasant Words

Du Jingyi's words made Gu Xiaolang burst into tears.

With her intelligence, she naturally understands why the matter has reached this point, but she just wants to find an excuse to vent her anger on Du Jingyi.

After all, since she came to Sui'an City and entered the general's mansion, she has been tolerant on both sides. She has reached the point where she can hardly bear it anymore.

Simply, I can’t bear it anymore.

"I just want to be closer to my cousin Shaoyu. I just want to see him from time to time. Isn't this right? My grandmother asked me to go back to Jinling City and told my mother that when I go back, she will find a matchmaker again to talk about my marriage. Can’t delay any longer…”

"This...you are all sensible people, why do you all have to pretend to be confused in front of me?"

She cried sadly, but Du Jingyi standing opposite was very calm.

If someone who didn't know saw it, they might think it was Du Jingyi bullying her.

Seeing that she was crying hard, Du Jingyi also handed over his handkerchief. At first, Gu Xiaolang was not willing to accept it, but in the end, seeing that his handkerchief was soaked, he could only take it.

The faint fragrance on the handkerchief was the same as the incense on cousin Shaoyu's clothes. Smelling this, she cried more and more.

Finally, he mumbled and said to Du Jingyi with red eyes.

"You deliberately!"

"right!"

Du Jingyi was not used to it and said directly. Not only that, he also straightened his clothes slightly and said to Gu Xiaolang.

"Everyone says that you are the only child of the Gu family, and you are the daughter of a family, so everyone has to pamper you and care for you. Even though your grandmother has raised you extremely well, you are actually still a child who has never experienced hardships. ’s milk doll.”

"You! You are the baby! I am only a few months younger than you."

"Yes, you are only a few months younger than me in terms of age, but in terms of mind, do you think you are only a few months younger than me?"

Du Jingyi's words made Gu Xiaolang not know how to reply.

On the contrary, it was Du Jingyi who spoke bluntly to Gu Xiaolang without caring about his feelings at all.

"The Gu family is full of loyal people who have sacrificed their lives for the country. As the only daughter in the family, you neither think about growing up quickly and doing your own thing to support the family and bear the hardships for the elders, nor do you think about using yourself as a bait to find someone. A reliable marriage can give the Gu family something to rely on in the wind and rain. For your little thoughts about your daughter's family, your grandmother and several aunts have been pushing away your marriage all day long. ”

"Do you think outsiders are all fools? Do you think the Gu family still has any power that others should strive for? Or, does your Miss Gu family have anything worthy of others appreciating?"

Du Jingyi's words were harsh and sharp, and he directly broke the current situation between Gu Xiaolang and the Gu family in front of her.

The truth was bloody and naked. Even though she already knew it in her heart, she just didn't want to face it.

"Who said I didn't plan it! If you hadn't interfered, I would have been able to be with cousin Shaoyu. This not only fulfilled my wish, but also saved the Gu family's situation. It's all your fault!"

Gu Xiaolang screamed, finally saying what he had been holding in his heart for several months.

Li Zhu had learned martial arts and had better hearing skills, so he wanted to rush forward angrily, but was stopped by Cherry.

She had a hunch that her young lady hadn't finished speaking yet, so she pulled Li Zhu to prevent her from destroying it.

Not far away, Mrs. Gu, her third aunt, her fourth aunt, Shang Ji and Xing Zhao were also standing, using the rockery in the yard to block their sight, but in fact they could all hear clearly. .

The third aunt felt sorry for her daughter being scolded and wanted to help her out, but the fourth aunt held her back with a very serious expression.

Mrs. Gu glanced over at her, and the third aunt did not dare to move, so she could only listen obediently.

"The Gu family has pampered you. Everything must be based on your wishes. If you like the general, you must marry him. If you don't like Sanlang of the Yan family, we will reject the post. Do you think that there are three people in the world? Auntie? Everyone wants to pamper you and obey you? "

A few words shocked Gu Xiaolang, a child who had been raised with care since childhood, to the point where he couldn't even speak clearly.

He would just stare and cry, filled with sadness, doubt and embarrassment.

Seeing that the desired effect was achieved, Du Jingyi stopped chasing and started to fight. Instead, he adopted a gentle policy and said to Gu Xiaolang.

"Cousin Lang also said just now that you are only a few months younger than me, so it is appropriate for your grandmother and third aunt to propose marriage to you. Or should you say that you have to guard them all your life and let them protect you from wind and rain? ? If one day, they are gone, tell me, who will support the Gu family? Or your stubborn and obsessive girlish friendship?

Every word Du Jingyi said was like a heavy punch falling on Gu Xiaolang's heart.

The stability she once thought was actually the most shaky.

Grandma is very old, and there are no other children in the family. Only three aunts, aunts and her mother are here, so it can't be a big deal. And it's not like she doesn't know the situation at home. What if they are all gone too?

Where should I go?

Gu family, where will the Gu family be when the time comes?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaolang's eyes became filled with more self-blame and shame.

She had been brought up by Mrs. Gu since she was a child. She should have been a person who knew etiquette, advance and retreat, and could even work for the family.

However, having lost her father and brother in one day, she was forced to become the only comfort in the family. Everyone loved her and took care of her, and she became accustomed to it over time.

So on the surface, she looked like a girl from a noble family, but in fact, she was brought up to be unable to withstand the blows. She blamed this and that for a little bit of dissatisfaction, but never thought about the interests of her family and relatives.

Is the current Gu family, and her, still the one who can "do whatever she wants"?

All the confidence she had built up in the past was exposed by her cousin Du Jingyi. She suddenly felt like a burden to the Gu family. She had been making trouble unreasonably and wanted everyone in the family to think about her.

As she thought about it, she fell down in the corridor, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

Du Jingyi took a half step back to protect her stomach. Seeing Gu Xiaolang's performance, she stopped being aggressive.

She just said it lightly.

"Three years ago, when the Duke and Madam Wei came to my Du family to discuss marriage, I had just reached the age of marriage. With the wealth of my Du family, I could marry into a wealthy family, but it would be comfortable to live with a common family behind closed doors. However, the Duke's Mansion bullies the weak, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and marry in to protect my family."
