Gu Chengsi was stunned.
However, after what happened to his sister, he believed that his parents, eldest brother, and sister-in-law would definitely not look down on her.
“What’s wrong with you today?” he asked. “It’s impossible for our family to say such things.”
“I just saw that your status is getting higher and higher, so, so…”
Gu Chengsi was momentarily speechless. He felt that she was quite stupid.
She clearly felt a sense of crisis, so why didn’t she want to resolve it? She didn’t want to get close to her family and instead did the opposite. Wouldn’t that just make everyone hate her even more?
“Who’s the one who’s been whispering nonsense to you every day?” she asked.
“My old friends, as well as the ladies in the town and county. They always said this every time they invited me to a gathering.” Mrs. Bai said.
When Gu Chengsi heard this, he recalled how everyone had surrounded him and introduced him to all kinds of women after he passed the imperial examination. His eyes darkened. “They’re trying to sow discord between us. You’ve fallen for their trick.”
“Huh, how could that be?”
“Why not? If we divorce or if I get rid of you, they will have a chance to marry me, right?”
Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment and looked at him in disbelief. However, when she saw his serious expression, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Remember this, as long as you don’t break the family rules, I won’t divorce you,” Gu Chengsi said seriously.
“So just be confident. If you’re so paranoid, you have to think of something else to do.
“Also, you have to believe me. If I really had that kind of heart, I would have divorced you long ago when the Gu family was exonerated.
“Besides, I have Brother Chengrui to help me in court and Consort Xian to support me. I don’t need to climb up the social ladder through marriage.
“However, you can’t stay at home forever in the future.
“You have to be good at social interactions with the madams and young ladies.
“Each of them had a gut that could turn eighteen corners. You need to learn how to deal with them.
“Especially about rumors like this. You have to be calm. If you’re not sure of anything, you can ask me.
“Don’t easily make promises outside, and don’t promise anything to anyone.
“If they can’t be rejected, let them come to me.”
Mrs. Bai became nervous after hearing this because she felt that she could not handle it at all.
The gap between her and him was getting bigger and bigger. She had to learn well; otherwise, he might get bored of her at any time.
“Can I learn well? Can you find someone to teach me?”
When Gu Chengsi said that, he thought of nannies. Those people might be servants, but they were smart when dealing with people.
It seemed that he had to find a way to hire a nanny to follow and guide his wife.
He told her his thoughts. “Over the next few days, you should learn more from Mother and Sixth Aunt Gu. If there’s nothing else, you can find your sister-in-law Chengzhi for a chat.
“Although her father’s official position is not high, she is still a proper official’s daughter. She will know a lot.”
“I understand.”
“Yeah, don’t be silly anymore. If your family hates you, do you think your life will be good?”
“What do we do now?”
“Turn over a new leaf. It’s good that you know your mistakes and change them. Mother and sister-in-law are not petty people.
“As for where we are, I’m here. Don’t worry.”
“I understand. I’ll go pick up our son now.” Mrs. Bai smiled and nodded.
“Silly girl, don’t be stupid in the future. Go to bed early afterward. I’ll go talk to Big Brother.” Gu Chengsi turned and walked out..
