Gu Shi’s eyes lit up.
Mu Qingyin was not bad, only that, his health was not that good.
But it did not matter.
If Mu Qingyin became the Gu family’s son-in-law, he would let Qian Kun do his best to treat him even if it meant using all the medicine.
As long as he could straighten his little devil.
“Father.” Mu Qingyin sighed helplessly. “I have poor health. Don’t worry too much. Just don’t drag the little girl down. Besides, I’m quite old now and Young Lady Gu has not even reached the age of eighteen.”
“Nonsense.” The old man glared at him. “You’re only sixteen. Why not?”
“…” Mu Qingyin’s felt uncomfortable. “Father, when can you remember that I’m almost thirty?”
“Oh, you’re almost thirty years old. Then, you better don’t let the girl be wasted.”
The old man pursed his lips.
Mu Qingyin felt a sword piercing through his heart—sad and helpless.
“No, no, no!” Gu Shi stood up hurriedly. He then said, respectfully. “Don’t say that. Qingyin is only twenty-nine years old. He is not old. He has a good personality and is also handsome. He and Gu Yiyi’s child will be very good looking. I agree to this marriage! If Qingyin enters the chief manor, I will try my best to treat him at all costs. Even if he is not cured, I will try to extend his life span. That is not a big problem.”
The old master was like an old child. He laughed. “Then, we will be in-laws. Little Qingyin’s personality is really good. You don’t have to worry. He is very different from his brother. I can guarantee you that little Qingyin will treat your girl very well.”
“So that’s the deal.”
Usually, fathers would not want their little sweetheart ones to stay away from them.
But somehow, Gu Yiyi was not a normal ‘little sweetheart’. Gu Shi must have done something evil in his previous life that he had gotten a daughter who was eager to stay far away from him and would rather help an outsider than him.
He could not scold and beat her. He could only let her go.
More importantly, his daughter’s sexual orientation was distorted. He had to straighten out his daughter so he could face his dead wife.
Mu Qingyin was Nan Xian’s second uncle. Nan Xian heard that Nan Suyi and Mu Qingyin had a great relationship when she was still in the Mu family. So, if he was no longer in this world one day, there would be someone who could protect this little devil.
“Okay!” The old master immediately agreed. “After they are married, I’ll let little Qingyin go to the chief manor. I don’t have the money to buy him a yard. There are too many bad people in the Mu family. Other than that, I can’t let the little girl be wronged.”
“It doesn’t matter. I will pay and buy a yard for them. Just let the two of them live their own lives.”
Of course, the yard must be bought next to the chief manor.
He did not want to let his dear daughter smash his jade appliances. However, he could not bear to let Gu Yiyi stay too far away from him. He was worried that Gu Yiyi might be bullied and no one would be able to protect her in time. Hence, staying next to the chief manor would be the best.
***
Gu Yiyi was stunned as the marriage was for her.
She looked at Gu Shi in shock. She apparently did not expect her father to marry her off so easily.
Did he ask her opinion regarding the marriage?
Mu Ling’s face was also dark. The fiancée he had selected for Nan Xian was being taken away by his own brother.
“Manor Master Gu…” Mu Ling turned his head and looked at Gu Shi. He was about to speak but was impatiently interrupted by Gu Shi.
“What are you going to say, Young Master Mu? I am letting my daughter marry your brother. Do you not like it? Do you want your brother to be alone for his whole life? Are you still his brother?”
