Make peace.
The gentle voice reached his ears, and Xie Wen's head buzzed before he realized what Gu Mei was talking about.
In addition to the shock, she suddenly felt angry. How dare she?
His original worst-case scenario was that Gu Mei would just cry and fight with him and refuse to pay attention to him. How could she say goodbye?
Thinking about it, Xie Wen suddenly laughed, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Xie Wen's face darkened. Peace and separation?
Gu Mei, what does she think she is? Was she the charming girl from the Gu family in the past, the pearl of Kyoto?
How dare you make peace with him.
"There has to be a limit to the nonsense. Although my mother did something wrong, she was still a side wife. What's more, isn't this a good thing?"
"In the past, my health was not good, so I never consummated our marriage. Now that my health has improved by accident, we can have our own children in the future."
"Even if not, when the concubine gives birth to an heir, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to leave the mother and keep the son in your name?"
Xie Wen can't lose Gu Mei's shield yet.
Anyway, I already have a new concubine, so I don’t care about any more.
Keeping Gu Mei in check, having a legitimate son will not only stabilize his position as the heir apparent of the Hou family, but also fulfill his mother's wishes.
As for Su Xin, the most she can do is wait until Gu Mei gives birth to a son and leave the mother to keep the son.
Hearing this, Gu Mei stared at Xie Wen.
She didn't expect to be reconciled immediately after this incident, but she didn't expect that Xie Wen was even more disgusting than she thought.
It was so disgusting that she endured it again and again before she could blurt out what she wanted to say.
Fortunately, the situation in her mind was very clear now. She secretly pinched her fingertips and whispered:
"Husband, I am just a helpless orphan girl."
"Then I still have a close relationship with the Minister of Household Affairs. If I am willing to give in to the right person, then the child will be the legitimate son when he is born. Wouldn't it be perfect?"
Her words made Xie Wen, who was originally unhappy, breathe a sigh of relief.
Xie Wen knew that Gu Mei's talk about reconciliation just now was just a matter of temper.
She was right to be angry. After all, he was the one who saved her, and they had been with her day and night for five years. She had had him all to herself for so long, so how could she be willing to give him to others?
However, Xie Wen still wanted to teach Gu Mei a lesson.
"Sister, don't say anything about Heli in the future. Even if you don't think about others, think about your mother and the two nephews left by your brother. You have to think more about others."
His words rang in her ears, making Gu Mei's heart feel chilly.
If she is still kept in the dark like before...
Gu Mei lowered her head, closed her eyes, adjusted her mood, stood up and turned her back to him, "Husband, please let me be quiet, okay?"
Xie Wen saw that she seemed to have given up on being reconciled, and then his expression softened. Sure enough, as long as Gu's family was in his hands, he was not afraid of Gu's resentment.
Only then did we talk about the most important thing about coming to Xiao Yuexuan.
"Princess Suxin's visit today was just a misunderstanding. She is a golden girl, so don't care about her, and don't spread the word to avoid ruining the princess's reputation."
Gu Mei looked out the window and laughed coldly in her heart.
"Husband, what are you doing? Didn't Princess Su Xin say that she entered the house to catch the thief?"
Xie Wen nodded slightly.
That's the best thing to think about.
After Xie Wen left, Gu Mei sat weakly on the couch and signaled Yingyue to close the door, blocking all eyes from outside.
Looking at Yingyue's caring eyes, he lowered his voice and reassured her, "I'm fine."
"We have to stay calm. Not only do I have to escape, but my mother and nephews also have to be saved."
She agreed to Xie Wen's marriage proposal in the first place because Xie Wen promised to save her remaining family members.
She couldn't anger Xie Wen until she had a complete solution.
In the evening, Gu Mei lay on the bed with her back to the outside. Her mother was placed in a village outside the city to recuperate, and her nephew was sent to study elsewhere.
All these thanks are known, and he must have sent someone to keep an eye on them.
So how can we safely transport people to a safe place?
While thinking about it, Gu Mei heard the door open.
She called out: "Yingyue. I'm not hungry, so let the people in the kitchen rest."
I had no appetite for dinner, so I ate a few hastily before putting down the bowl and chopsticks.
Gu Mei only thought it was Yingyue trying to persuade her to eat more.
As a result, the words fell down for a while, and the other party didn't respond.
The house was silent, the windows were half-open, and the candlelight flickered and swayed the shadows on the wall.
Gu Mei frowned and turned over.
She saw He Lanyan looking at her deeply with a calm face.
With his hands behind his back, his eyes were unpredictable, and after seeing the slight shock on Gu Mei's face, he showed resistance.
"I came here alone to see you in such a miserable state."
