Chapter 390 - 359 The Infamous Female Demon of the Imperial Capital_3
"Xuexue," Mr. Xu set aside his brush after finishing the last character and said cheerfully, "Xuexue, you must have heard the rumors outside."
"I’ve heard everything, Grandfather, and I can feel your hardship," Xu Xuezi nodded, unable to help thinking to herself how cunning the elderly can be. Her grandfather had managed to put the Gu Family at the center of controversy without lifting a finger.
"Good that you understand," Mr. Xu was in a good mood, "The Gu Family is at fault this time, both morally and logically, there’s no way they can’t marry you. Now that things have come this far, it’s not about whether you want to marry or whether he wants to marry; the wedding needs to be scheduled soon."
Yecheng truly hadn’t wronged Xuexue, but how could the Gu Family admit to arbitrarily throwing her out? Could they admit before the entire Imperial Capital that Gu Yecheng suffered from a fear of cold that made him unrecognizable even to his relatives when it strikes, unable to control himself?
If the Gu Family dared to admit that, what would the public think?
Once this became public, Gu Yecheng would be immediately removed from the list of successors of the Prime Minister, and the position of the Gu Family in the Imperial Capital would be in jeopardy.
Thus, at this stage, it was not the Xu Family begging the Gu Family for a marriage, but rather the Gu Family pleading with the granddaughter of the Xu Family to marry them.
"I’ll leave everything up to Grandfather," Xu Xuezi said quietly, without any superfluous words.
"Good, as long as you understand," Mr. Xu dared to spread such rumors, effectively blocking Xu Xuezi’s path.
A woman’s chastity being rumored like this leaves her with no other choice than to marry the male protagonist of the incident.
