Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 217 His Tragic Past

The time has come for An An’s full moon day.

Gu Qingyuan thought for a long time and finally decided to give An An's full name Gu An. It didn't have to be complicated, just a simple name would be fine.

Although An An is a boy, he is the first child in the general's mansion, and the whole family does not neglect him because of his gender.

Liushui takes good care of An An. He usually stays in the house and doesn't go anywhere.

When holding a full moon banquet for An An, Gu Qingyuan invited many people to her home.

Wen Shubai was in charge of organizing the family dinner, so Gu Qingyuan didn't have to worry about it at all.

After confirming the list of guests and the dishes, Wen Shubai also invited a troupe of actors to perform at his home.

It was already March, and the spring rain was continuous, so the house always felt damp.

Gu Qingyuan just hoped that it wouldn’t rain on the day of An An’s full moon banquet.

I don’t know if God heard her inner voice, but the sky suddenly cleared up after raining for several days.

By noon, many people had already arrived at the Gu family and were congratulating Gu Qingyuan.

But when they sat down, they started talking.

"Do you think there's something wrong with the Gu family?"

"I feel the same way. Why hold a full-month banquet for a boy? I wonder if it's just to collect donations?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I think so too. In our family, having a boy is considered bad luck, but the Gu family treats boys as treasures."

Several people were talking, and one of them suddenly stopped talking.

"Hey, Lao Li, why do you look like that?"

"That's right. Just now we said that the Gu family is making a mountain out of a molehill. What do you think?"

The woman called "Lao Li" smiled awkwardly and said, "Perhaps the Gu family has their reasons for doing this."

Others were puzzled: "Lao Li, that's not what you just said."

Old Li lowered his head, drank a cup of tea, picked up a piece of dessert on the table, and acted as if he didn't hear anything.

"You guys are having a great time chatting."

Gu Qingyuan's voice suddenly came from behind them, and the women who had been talking incessantly finally understood why Old Li, who sat at the same table with them, was silent.

They smiled awkwardly, feeling like they had been caught doing something bad.

"Master Gu, when did you come here?"

"just."

They couldn't figure out how much Gu Qingyuan had heard, and they also blamed Old Li for not reminding them.

You know, Gu Qingyuan holds a grudge, and they are afraid of her revenge.

But Gu Qingyuan did not get angry, but smiled at them.

"If you think we're holding a full-moon banquet just to collect donations, you don't have to come. Besides, I think boys and girls should be treated equally. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, Young Master Gu is right."

Gu Qingyuan snorted in her heart and left without saying anything more to them.

"Young Master Gu."

Suddenly someone called him. Gu Qingyuan turned around in confusion and saw Ji Mingzhao's mother, the Minister of War.

She stopped and asked, "What does Master Ji want me to do?"

Mother Ji smiled and said, "I want to go see Ming Zhao."

She thought that she was Ji Mingzhao's mother after all, and originally thought that he would not be favored after marrying into the Gu family, but she did not expect that Ji Mingzhao would be the first to give birth to a child for the Gu family, although it was a boy.

"He hasn't fully recovered yet, so I don't think it's necessary. But I will convey Master Ji's concern."

Gu Qingyuan rejected her politely but distantly.

Now she wants to act like a loving mother and a filial son, but why didn't she, the mother, show up when Ji Mingzhao was bullied and humiliated at home, and even forced to drink foot washing water?

At first, she was with Ji Mingzhao's father because he was just a servant. After she had her fun, she stopped caring about other things and allowed other people in the family to bully Ji Mingzhao's father.

We've already slept together, you can't be so heartless, right?

Even Ji Mingzhao suffered humiliation at home. If he hadn't been lucky, he might not be alive today.

After being rejected by Gu Qingyuan again, Ji's mother's face was not very happy and her tone was not as gentle as before.

"Who are you to make decisions for him? I'm his mother, why don't you let me see him?"

"Mother?"

Gu Qingyuan asked her back.

"First of all, I want to ask, do you know when he was born?"

Ji's mother's face turned pale, obviously she didn't remember it.

He is not the only child in her family. Besides, Ji Mingzhao's birth was an accident to her.

"If you look at me again, I'll dig out your eyes."

All I heard was a vicious female voice speaking to the tightly dressed man at the table.

When the man heard her scolding him like this, he quickly looked away and his body trembled.

The woman was satisfied.

She looked at Gu Qingyuan who was talking to Ji's mother. Although she didn't know what the two were talking about, she still felt a little unhappy.

It was clearly she who slept with Ji Yunzheng, the second son of the Ji family, but she heard that Ji's mother actually wanted to give Ji Yunzheng to Gu Qingyuan.

Moreover, Gu Qingyuan had liked Ji Yunzheng before. Last time, she beat Ji Yunzheng, causing him to sneak out, but he met Gu Qingyuan.

And he even dared to ask Gu Qingyuan for help. She was clearly his old slut, but he still wanted to seduce other women.

Ji Yunzheng had been pregnant before, but Wang Rong had the child aborted because she ran away secretly.

He is in very poor health now, and the doctor even said that he may not be able to have children in the future.

The reason why he was dressed so warmly today was because his body was covered with wounds, and Wang Rong didn't want others to know.

Originally, Gu Qingyuan wanted to marry Ji Yunzheng as a concubine, but Ji's mother looked down on her and married the insignificant Ji Mingzhao to her.

But Ji Yunzheng looked at the lively full moon banquet and the opera troupe performing in front, and thought to herself what if it was herself who married her.

Wouldn’t I be not as miserable as I am now?

He could see that Gu Qingyuan cared about his younger brother, otherwise she would not have held a full-moon banquet for the child after he gave birth to a boy.

Under the table, his waist was pinched hard.

Ji Yunzheng shrank back in pain and heard his wife's dissatisfied voice.

"I'll take care of you when I get back."

The hatred in her heart grew. Ji Yunzheng remembered that when Ji Mingzhao was at home, no matter how they bullied him, he endured it silently.

Because no one will support him.

If I had known this earlier, I would have tortured him to death.

Afraid that Ji Mingzhao would catch a cold, Gu Qingyuan did not let him go out to see anyone, and An An was also wrapped in layer upon layer of clothes and was now sleeping.

Ji Mingzhao has few friends, and his life in the Ji family can be said to be worse than death.

He couldn't even save him when his father was beaten to death.
