Why doesn’t he complain deep down in his heart?

However, they had just walked not far when they met the servant in the mansion. The servant greeted them and called Gu Rong the eldest lady.

"Wait, why did you call me eldest lady? I am second lady." Gu Rong frowned.

Marquis Zhongyi and Mrs. Marquis also frowned and looked at this slave with dissatisfaction.

"Back to the eldest lady, this is the order from Miss Gu, the former eldest lady." The servant lowered his head and replied.

"She said that she is not of the Hou family's blood, and it is inappropriate to be called eldest lady anymore.

Now that the eldest lady has really returned home, she should return her title and let us call her Miss Gu from now on."

"Father, mother, sister, what do you mean?" Gu Rong looked at Hou Zhongyi and Mrs. Hou.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing for her, but why is she a little panicked?

Every step Gu Xi took was difficult for her to understand.

It’s too selfless!

But Gu Rong didn't think that a normal person could do this. Gu Xi must have a plan.

"Xi'er is sensible. She is right. You are the eldest lady of the Marquis Mansion, and this title should be given to you."

Mrs. Hou was very satisfied with Gu Xi's two operations and called Xi'er.

Zhongyi Hou also nodded, "Indeed. Whether it was because my father was negligent before or because Xi'er was careful and considerate, you will be the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion from now on."

Gu Xi, the adopted daughter, has become useless. She has a bad background, a bad reputation, and her marriage is gone. She can no longer be the eldest lady of the Hou family.

Gu Rong, a biological daughter, is worthy of this title. Once she and Lu Heng are engaged to be engaged, she will be able to establish herself in the upper class circles of power.

On the other side is the Zhenguo Government Palace.

When Mrs. Lu got up early in the morning, she thought about using the excuse of illness to deal with her son. Anyway, she would not go to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to discuss the wedding date.

Therefore, when Lu Heng came to greet her in the morning, she didn't even get out of bed and asked the maid to tell Lu Heng that she had a headache and felt unwell.

When Lu Heng heard this, he was naturally very anxious. He asked about his mother's condition with concern. Seeing the maid's expression flickering, he understood that there might be something hidden here.

My mother was not sick, but she just didn’t want to go to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to discuss the wedding date.

Lu Heng was very angry, but filial piety was the most important thing. He could not accuse his mother of wrongdoing, so he could only go back depressed, thinking of going to Gu Xi first and meeting her in person before he could think of a solution.

However, before he left the house, he got the news from Sifang Gambling House, and he was immediately furious.

His first reaction was that the gambling house humiliated his marriage to Gu Xi in this way. It was a heinous crime and unforgivable!

After calming down for a while, he noticed the contents of the bets made by the Sixth Prince and others. This made him feel ashamed and angry, but also filled him with coldness and pain.

Others might still wonder if the Sixth Prince and others were humiliating Gu Xi, but he knew that these people were trying to support Gu Xi.

He was even sure that it was Gu Xi who came forward to ask them to bet, and the content of the bet was naturally requested by Gu Xi!

Therefore, Gu Xi really wanted to cancel her marriage to him!

How could she be so heartless!

Lu Heng knew that Gu Xi had no romantic feelings for him, but he knew that Gu Xi didn't have any affection for him, at least she was willing to marry him.

Therefore, Lu Heng has always cherished hope, thinking that as long as Gu Xi marries him, he will treat Gu Xi wholeheartedly and slowly make Gu Xi fall in love with him.

But now...

Lu Heng only felt hopeless and laughed at himself for taking things for granted. It was funny.

After Gu Xi's identity changed, she didn't want to ask him for help, and even didn't see him, but she was eager to cancel the marriage with him. She was so heartless, I'm afraid she didn't take him to heart at all before!

Lu Heng thought of this and clutched his chest, his face pale and shaky.

The boy beside him saw that the young master was heartbroken, so he quickly supported him and sent someone to inform his wife.

Mrs. Lu was complaining about Gu Xi with her daughter.

"That Gu Xi is so scheming. You see, she just wants to play hard to get and retreat in order to advance. I don't believe she is willing to get married to our family."

Mrs. Lu has nothing to hide in front of her daughter, she can say whatever she wants.

Lu Aoxue just listened and didn't respond much, only saying something occasionally.

As her name suggests, she has always been aloof and arrogant. She only loves poetry and articles, but she actually doesn't like to hear these things.

However, Lu Aoxue frowned and said after hearing what her mother said became more and more unpleasant.

"Mom, Gu Xi is not as miserable as you said."

"Huh, you are just like your brother, you have no scheming. If she really marries you, you will inevitably be deceived by her!"

Mrs. Lu became even more angry when she heard that her daughter also defended Gu Xi.

Lu Aoxue pursed her lips, stopped talking, and began to wander.

At this moment, a servant came to report that something had happened to Lu Heng.

After Mrs. Lu heard the news, she stopped pretending to be sick, quickly dressed up, and went to visit Lu Heng with Lu Aoxue.

Along the way, Mrs. Lu learned about the Sifang Gambling House and scolded Gu Xi over and over again. Her teeth gritted and she wanted to eat Gu Xi alive.

-

Seeing Lu Heng's face as pale as a sheet and his listless appearance, Mrs. Lu was so distressed that she burst into tears. She choked and said while wiping away her tears,

"Son, mother knows that you like Gu Xi, but she has no feelings for you. As long as she has some intentions, she will not encourage the Sixth Prince and the others to place bets..."

Lu Heng closed his eyes and said nothing, his eyelids trembled, and he clenched his hands under the quilt.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...It's not wrong for us to cancel the engagement now, and it's not right not to cancel the engagement. No matter what, we will offend others, and this is all Gu Xi's fault."

Mrs. Lu hated her so much. She looked down on Gu Xi's background before, but now she really hates him.

Lu Heng couldn't say a word of defense.

How could he not complain deep down in his heart?

Lu Aoxue also pursed her lips tightly, her beautiful and cold face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Gu Xi went too far in this matter.

She can understand that Gu Xi wants to break off the engagement, because she knows that Gu Xi is also a proud and arrogant person. Even though her life experience has changed, she is not a woman who follows others and only sees power and wealth.

However, she couldn't understand why Gu Xi wanted to make the matter so big and make everyone so angry that there was no room for cleaning up.

After a while, the chamberlain beside the eldest prince came over.

Madam Lu's face darkened, thinking that the eldest prince must have sent someone here to order them not to cancel the marriage!

After all, once it is cancelled, the eldest prince's gambling house will have to compensate a huge sum of two million taels.

When Gu Xi comes in, she will torture her in every possible way!

Lu Heng also thought so, and even felt a little bit happy.

If the marriage is not cancelled, Gu Xi will still marry him.

But in the end, this happiness cast a thick shadow, making it difficult for him to be truly happy.

Mrs. Lu suppressed all her resentful emotions and went to see the chamberlain with a gloomy face.

Lu Aoxue was worried that her mother could not control her emotions, so she hurriedly followed her. Lu Heng was a little frustrated and unwilling to come forward.

As soon as Mrs. Lu saw the chamberlain of the First Prince's Mansion, she immediately said with a cold face,

"Please also ask my father-in-law to go back and tell His Highness, please rest assured that we will not cancel this wedding."
