Yesterday, he deeply realized that the child no longer had any connection to their family. It wasn’t as simple as them saying the child belonged to them. Even if the matter were to be brought before the Emperor, it wouldn’t be Su Yu who was unreasonable, but rather those people.
The child was one that Gu Jing herself didn’t want.
Since the child was unwanted, they shouldn’t dwell on something that didn’t belong to them. It was only fair.
“Father, are you really willing to accept this?” Gu Jing asked.
“Yesterday, Wang Jinhe said that if we really wanted to acknowledge this child, it wouldn’t be impossible. We could present the matter to the Emperor and explain everything,” Old Master Gu replied.
Gu Jing felt extremely upset because of her father’s words. “Father, are they making a big deal out of nothing? Xiao Zhi is not their child. Is it necessary?”
Old Master Gu remained silent. He also wanted to ask, “Is it necessary?” But this was the matter of the Prince and his wife. Who dared to inquire too much?
“Let’s leave it at that. In the future, you should be careful not to cause trouble for Xiao Zhi. If you continue like this, you will be the one to suffer in the end,” Old Master Gu said, reminding his daughter. His son’s official position had awakened him, and he knew that one couldn’t force something that didn’t belong to them.
Now it remained to be seen whether Gu Jing could come to terms with it.
However, Gu Jing was unwilling to just let it go. Even if she did, it would only be temporary. She would see how things unfolded in the future.
“I understand,” Gu Jing replied.
Seeing Gu Jing’s insincere expression, Old Master Gu sighed softly. Well, the child was grown up now, and he couldn’t control her.
When she suffered in the future, she would understand the extent of the gap between herself and the Prince.
Wang Jinhe and her husband didn’t pay much attention to the matters of the Gu family. For Su Yu, one Gu family wasn’t worth too much of his attention.
The most important thing now was Su Jiu’s marriage.
The day before the wedding, Su Yu’s family moved into the old mansion, and the next day, Su Yu was going to accompany the wedding party.
Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi were not affected at all. In fact, they were even more excited to play at the Su family’s house because of Su Jiu’s upcoming marriage.
Watching the two of them running around the Su family’s house, Wang Jinhe shook her head helplessly. “There are a lot of people here today, so both of you, don’t run around.”
Wang Jinhe gave Xiao Bao a disapproving look, as their behavior didn’t quite match his claims of being obedient. On the other hand, Su Yu stood beside Wang Jinhe, holding her, and watched the two children play. “Never mind them. There are many children at the Su family today, and they can all play together. It’s rare to have such a lively event, so let them enjoy it.”
Xiao Bao nodded repeatedly. “Daddy is right, Mommy, it’s rare for us to encounter such an event. You can’t stop us from playing, can you?”
Seeing Xiao Bao’s pitiful look and with Su Yu helping to speak up, what else could Wang Jinhe say? She could only nod and let the two children go play with the other kids in the family.
“Go, but don’t run around everywhere. Take someone with you,” Wang Jinhe said.
“Okay,” Xiao Zhi said, then grabbed Xiao Bao’s hand and ran off.
Wang Jinhe rubbed her forehead and pointed at the departing children, expressing her dissatisfaction. “You’ve spoiled both of them.”
“It’s okay to indulge them occasionally. Boys can’t always stay at home. They need to run around and play,” Su Yu said matter-of-factly. Wang Jinhe felt helpless listening to Su Yu, but she also admitted that he was right. They couldn’t keep the boys cooped up at home all the time.
“That’s a fair point.”
“Don’t worry, there are people around our sons, both seen and unseen. No one can bully our sons.” Since Xiao Zhi had become his son, Su Yu had started preparing for many things.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu and reluctantly agreed. “Alright, I’ll go along with your plan.”
Su Yu stayed with Wang Jinhe for a while before going to help out, while Wang Jinhe took Qiu Yi to find Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi, watching the two children play with the other kids from the Su family from a distance.
Seeing Xiao Zhi and Xiao Bao having fun, Wang Jinhe smiled. Indeed, children could only truly get along with other children.
“Why are you here, sister-in-law?” Su Shan asked as she saw Wang Jinhe approaching from a distance.
“I’m here watching over Xiao Bao and the others. I wanted to do something, but no one is letting me,” Wang Jinhe said, feeling a headache coming on.
“You’re pregnant with twins now. Who dares to let you do anything? Aren’t you afraid of getting a scolding from my brother?” Su Shan said in an exaggerated manner.
Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but laugh at Su Shan’s exaggerated manner. “It’s not as exaggerated as you make it sound.”
Su Shan sighed helplessly. “Sister-in-law, don’t underestimate your position in my brother’s heart.”
“Let’s not talk about that. Do you want to come with us when we go back later?” Wang Jinhe asked Su Shan.
“I’ll go. I don’t want to miss seeing Qin Lang,” Su Shan replied. Although Qin Lang had mentioned that his family would come to propose after he passed the imperial examination this year, the second half of the year was when the examination would take place, so they wouldn’t be able to meet for several months.
“It seems that someone can’t bear to be away from her fiancé,” Wang Jinhe teased.
Su Shan felt a bit embarrassed and said, “I’m ignoring you,” before running off.
Wang Jinhe blinked innocently. Was Su Shan really that shy?
The next day, while Wang Jinhe was still sleeping, Su Yu got up.
Seeing Su Yu dressed in bright clothes, Wang Jinhe looked at him in confusion. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to accompany my brother for his wedding. Are you still half asleep? Have you forgotten that today is my brother’s wedding day?” Su Yu walked to the bedside and kissed Wang Jinhe on the cheek, suppressing a smile as he asked.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in bewilderment for a while before remembering that it was indeed Su Jiu’s wedding day.
“Then you should go. I’m getting up now,” Wang Jinhe said.
“You don’t need to get up so early. Get some more sleep and then get up. We won’t be back from the wedding so soon,” Su Yu replied.
Wang Jinhe nodded in confusion, and as Su Yu left, she fell back asleep.
When Su Yu went to the courtyard to find Su Jiu, his friend and cousin Su Mingche was there, along with everyone else, waiting for him.
“Why are you so slow, Xiao Yu?”
“You wouldn’t understand,” Su Yu ignored them and looked at Su Jiu. It was really good that his older brother was getting married.
Su Jiu looked at Su Yu’s colorful clothes and smiled, “It’s really hard for you to help me with the wedding.”
Su Jiu knew that Su Yu usually wore mostly black or white clothes, rarely wearing such colorful attire.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and coldly snorted, “You know I’ll do anything for you.”
“What are you all still chatting about? It’s time to go,” Su Mingche’s mother came over and urged them to leave. The wedding procession wouldn’t be arriving so soon.
Wasn’t there a series of traditional challenges and obstacles to overcome at the bride’s home?
“Why are you still lingering here?”
“Let’s go.”
