At night, Gu Qingyuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Nowadays, she likes to see the chaos in the Duke's mansion. Although it sometimes affects her, the despair of her enemy makes her more happy than her own pain. .

However, if Ji Wenyue really believed what Chen said, it would not be so easy to deal with Chen in the future. In fact, it was not only Chen, but also Li Shichen. After all, by that time, Ji Wenyue would be Li Shichen's biological mother. .

Gu Qingyuan thought about it over and over again, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and finally she simply pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

At the same time, Chen's side was brightly lit.

Li Shichen was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep. He lay on the bed and cursed his father for being cruel over and over again. Seeing this, Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "Brother Chen, don't be so angry with your father. He...he... People hate gambling the most.”

"But I told you I don't have it anymore! Why doesn't he believe me?" Li Shichen said with a look of resentment.

Mrs. Chen saw this and frowned: "Brother Chen, are you right or wrong to say that your father doesn't believe you?"

In a word, Li Shichen fell silent.

It is naturally right not to believe him, after all, he really went to gamble.

But...but he has already used his mother's dowry to pay off his gambling debt! If we were to investigate at this time, we would not find anything at all, and he would indeed never gamble again in the future, so there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Li Shichen was not convinced. Mrs. Chen looked at him, took his hand and patted it gently: "Brother Chen, it's all my fault as a mother!"

"Mother, what does this matter have to do with you?" Li Shichen frowned. He didn't think this matter had anything to do with the Chen family. After all, the person who beat him was the Duke of Guo, and it was the Chen family who took care of him afterwards. To say it was related, That is also a good relationship for him.

"Brother Chen, there is something I have never told you. Do you know why your father hasn't come back these years?" asked Chen.

Li Shichen nodded: "My son knows that his father is busy with official duties and will never have time to come back."

Mrs. Chen sighed, with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Brother Chen, this is not what you thought at all. Your father has not come back for so many years, not because of official duties, but because of me! Your father married me, It was not what he wanted. After I had you, I thought your father could treat me better, but... But it turned out to be the opposite. He simply didn't come back. He said he was busy with official duties, but in fact he didn't want to see me. The so-called official duties were nothing more than official duties. It’s just an excuse.”

Chen talked a lot, but she didn't mention a word about forced marriage or staged pregnancy.

In her story, the Duke of Guo is a heartless man who wanders around.

After listening to Chen's words, Li Shichen's already red eyes became even redder: "Mother, my father has done so much, why don't you make peace with him?"

And away?

How could there be reconciliation?

She had tried all she could to marry the Duke. If she reconciled, wouldn't her previous hard work be in vain?
So reconciliation is impossible, not even in this life!

It's just that Chen naturally couldn't talk about this kind of thing. She sighed, with a smile on her face: "What can I do? You are the heir apparent. If I divorce you, what will you do in the future? Ah! Others will criticize you if they know it. It doesn't matter if I'm not happy, but if you are unhappy, then I might as well die." "Mother, you have worked really hard these years." Li Shichen said, pulling up Mrs. Chen held her hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, my son will definitely respect you in the future and won't let anyone talk about you!"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Chen nodded with relief, and then said seriously: "Brother Chen, bet this matter will come to light sooner or later. If your father knows about it, he will definitely beat you to death. of."

After hearing these words, Li Shichen sighed: "I know, but what can I do? I...I can't do anything! Mother, I have thought about it. I plan to hide outside for a while after I am healed." God, it’s just that I don’t have any money, so I’ll ask my mother to help me when the time comes.”

Relief?

The expression on Mrs. Chen's face became complicated. She didn't have any money to support her. This guy had lost all his dowry.

But when she saw her son's slightly pleading eyes, Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "I can prepare money for you, but how long do you plan to hide it outside? For a lifetime? Don't forget, you still have I have a wife."

When Li Shichen heard this, his face darkened and he said: "Mother, let alone that woman, you don't know that that woman is not willing to lend me money at all, otherwise my son would not be reduced to stealing his mother's dowry. "

Having said this, Li Shichen frowned subconsciously.

It was really fun for Gu Qingyuan to say it, but when he thought of Gu Qingyuan's cold face, he suddenly couldn't be cruel anymore. Although she was unwilling to lend him money, she helped him anyway.

Thinking of this, Li Shichen's eyes softened.

Mrs. Chen did not notice her son's emotional change, but said to herself: "Mother knows, if you want to blame it, it's your father who found you such a thing. The daughter of a businessman can't be on the stage. If you want me to say Being a concubine is already pretty good, but I didn’t expect your father to actually ask her to be your wife.”

At this point, Mrs. Chen became angry. Why should a merchant's daughter be her daughter-in-law?
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Qingyuan still had some belongings, she wouldn't even want to let that woman in.

But now it's better. That woman did have furniture, but the furniture was hidden and not used by her family at all.

"Mother, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in complaining." Li Shichen didn't want his mother to talk about Gu Qingyuan, so he simply avoided the topic: "By the way, mother, you didn't rest, did you come here specifically to say something to your son?"

After being reminded by Li Shichen, Chen finally remembered the business of coming here.

"Son, you don't have to leave. I've found a way for you to stay for my mother's sake!" Mrs. Chen looked at her son and said excitedly,
Li Shichen frowned. He didn't think there was any way to make his father forgive him after learning about his gambling. This was an unanswerable answer.

"Mother, please stop joking." Li Shichen smiled bitterly.

"Are you kidding? When have I ever joked with you? Son, this matter is so big, and I, a mother, still know my priorities." Chen said with a serious face.

Li Shichen looked at his mother's serious look and asked dubiously: "Mom, what can we do?"

"Acknowledge your mother." Mrs. Chen looked at Li Shichen and said seriously: "Ask someone to be your mother, and she will naturally recognize you!"
