Gu Changsheng, upon hearing those words, immediately felt utterly distressed! Without hesitation, her hand smacked onto her son’s little head, an unmistakable aura of anger surrounding her, "You say that! You still say that! You ungrateful wretch! Why do you always side against your own family?"
"Is there anyone who digs a hole for their own mother like you do? Do you believe I can beat you into an idiot?"
"No! No!" Little Meat Bun, upon hearing this, immediately began to kick and struggle.
He definitely didn’t want to be beaten into an idiot!
That would really make him a silly Dandan! No! Absolutely not!
"Changsheng’s Beloved Daughter, what are you doing? I wrote the Marriage Letter, and if you have any objections, you should take them up with me. Why take your anger out on my little grandson?" Mr. Ban Shan, upon seeing this, immediately became displeased and stepped forward to hug Little Meat Bun, saying.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng was stymied!
Who was Mr. Ban Shan? He was her foster father!
Even though Gu Changsheng was a woman who was notoriously arrogant and unruly, she still understood the basic principles of etiquette and filial piety!
"Foster Father! You’re being unfair!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but speak out, feeling so aggrieved inside!
Is this a father? Even if he’s just a godfather, he’s still a father!
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ban Shan immediately glared at her, holding his dear little grandson and began to inspect him up and down.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng felt even more frustrated!
Such obvious favoritism!
It was simply unbearable!
"Foster Father, is it really okay for you to do this? You all didn’t even ask me if I was willing, and just like that, you’ve sold me off in confusion. Don’t you know to haggle a bit, to ask for a better price?" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but complain to her foster father.
"Haggle? Haggle what? What price? Zhou Mu has offered everything he has for the bride-price, what more do you want?" Mr. Ban Shan, upon hearing this, looked at his daughter immediately.
As soon as Gu Changsheng spoke those words, she immediately regretted them!
She couldn’t help raising her hand to give herself a light slap on the mouth. Damn it, why was she so loose-lipped!
What does it mean that habits die hard? This was a blatant portrayal!
By accident, the truth had slipped out!
"Daughter! You have been ambiguously involved with Zhou Mu for quite a while, and a woman establishing her own household always leads to unnecessary trouble. You both have mutual affection for each other, and it’s not a solution to keep dragging on . How Zhou Mu treats you, you know very well. If I had not seen through your true feelings, I wouldn’t have agreed to this marriage!" Mr. Ban Shan began to comfort her with the look of a loving father.
Gu Changsheng’s face eased a bit upon hearing this, but she still couldn’t get over it, "But how could he make a deal with you behind my back without even asking me? You could at least discuss it with me, let me be mentally prepared!"
Her beautiful man! Her grand business of raising a handsome man!
Was it all going to leave her just like that?
"Mental preparation? How long do you need to prepare? One year? Two years? Or three to five years?" Mr. Ban Shan immediatel retaliated with a knock on his daughter’s forehead, saying, "You can’t waste your prime years . Do you want to end up lonely and miserable like me?"
Gu Changsheng, holding her head where she had been thumped, mumbled with an embarrassed look, "But I have Little Meat Bun! Besides, don’t you have me? Lonely and miserable, I am not..."
"You still have the nerve to talk back?" Mr. Ban Shan glared as he spoke sternly, "You seem clever most of the time, but when it comes to the major issue of marriage, you are far too indecisive. This cannot be delayed any longer; otherwise, that destitute Li Mansion in the Capital City might cause more trouble!"
"A match made by parental order and a matchmaker’s word, the wedding gifts have been accepted, the Marriage Letter exchanged, this marriage cannot be changed any longer. From now on, you are Zhou Mu’s fiancée!"
Mr. Ban Shan declared his verdict forcefully.
"Foster Father!" As soon as Gu Changsheng heard the words ’Zhou Mu’s fiancée,’ her whole face turned green.
Was she really branded with Zhou Mu, that evildoer’s label just like that?
But she hadn’t even seen Zhou Mu’s face; wasn’t this all a bit... too hasty?
"The bride-price... Just like that, with only a light piece of paper, you’ve sent me away?" Gu Changsheng took the Gilded Red Invitation that her foster father had pushed into her arms, her lips twitching as she spoke.
Just with this invitation, Zhou Mu’s name had been engraved onto her?
This was just ridiculous!
"What else do you want? The seal of Liuzhou Region is right at your feet, you can cause whatever ruckus you want, Yuan Bao is waiting at Prince Mu’s Mansion, and the key to the Treasury Pavilion is in his hands. If you’re not afraid of trouble, you can just move everything from Little Wood’s Treasury Pavilion! Even if you want to empty out the entire Royal Mansion, no one will stop you!" Zhou Zongbao added mockingly from the side, rolling his eyes.
