Xu Weibei Attempts to Take His Own Life

"You're so stubborn!" the Grand Princess roared. "She has no feelings for you whatsoever! Look at her today, does she have even the slightest bit of affection for you?"

No, absolutely not!

But his own silly grandson could hardly take his eyes off Gu Wanning.

Yes, the Grand Princess once hoped that the couple would be loving and affectionate, but she did not want to see her grandson indulging in romance and losing his heroic spirit!

This reminded the Grand Princess of the past, of her son who died young, who had once been so rebellious for a woman, ultimately ruining himself.

I never imagined my grandson would turn out like this!

"She has no attachment to me because I treated her badly."

Looking back now, Xu Weibei realizes that his behavior of bringing four concubines on his wedding day, not returning home for many years, and then immediately interrogating them upon his return was indeed unappealing.

"But I cherish her, because she is good enough," Xu Weibei, emphasizing each word. "Grandmother, I can't live without her!"

"If she doesn't agree, will you remain unmarried for life?"

"I can." Xu Weibei without hesitation, his gaze resolute.

"You... you are the only son of the Xu family for three generations, don't you care at all about continuing the Xu family line?"

"I can't even think about it. In the afterlife, I'll be at the mercy of my ancestors," Xu Weibei said. "Grandmother, my child could only have come from Gu Wanning's womb, not from anyone else! Whatever you're thinking, you'd better abandon that idea now!"

She clearly doesn't have you in her heart or at all.

"Given time, it will happen eventually; I can wait. Grandmother, this is between her and me. I'll try my best to give you a great-grandson soon. But if you're pushy and try to force us into marriage, then I..."

"What's wrong with you? Are you going to kill me?" The Grand Princess's forehead veins throbbed.

"I wouldn't dare. But... I can marry into the Gu family!"

Xu Weibei unleashed his trump card.

The Grand Princess nearly fainted from anger.

This time it's for real, not an act.

Xu Weibei didn't really want to marry into the Gu family; he just found the men in the Gu family annoying.

However, if he doesn't resort to drastic measures, his grandmother will probably still not give up.

Today it's Xie Yun, tomorrow it'll be Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Ermazi; he can't handle it.

After escorting the Grand Princess back to her Princess's Residence, Xu Weibei hurried to Qingyi Princess's Residence.

Gao Lan said, "My Marquis, shouldn't you go and say hello to the Xie family?"

"No need. Didn't Xie Yun say she won't get involved anymore?"

Gao Lan: "... I feel that she said that on purpose to attract the Marquis's attention?"

"Is that so?" Xu Weibei didn't have a deep understanding of women, but he didn't want to get involved. "I've already said what I needed to say; Grandmother knows what to do."

Grandmother wouldn't offend the Xie family; she would surely find a respectable reason.

"Yes. And you, Marquis, you were joking about marrying into the Gu family, weren't you?"

Don't scare me!

Even the Emperor wouldn't allow the dignified Marquis of Yingchuan to marry into the family.

And this will provide plenty of gossip for many people.

"No. If she wanted me to do that, I could do it."

What's wrong with marrying into another family?

Gu Anwei is still the imperial consort, but he and Qingyi seem to be living a blissful life together.

Marrying into the family is just a formality, and what he cares least about is what others say.

Gao Lan: "..."

He's gone mad, the Marquis is getting mader and mader.

When Xu Weibei went to the Princess's Residence, he was disappointed to find that Gu Wanning had already gone back, and he had come to visit her in vain.

He no longer cared about his four concubines and let them return to their own residence.

Xu Weibei rode his horse to find Gu Wanning.

"I happen to have something to discuss with Your Marquis," Gu Wanning said, inviting him to sit down.

Seeing that he hadn't been turned away yet, Xu Weibei breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I didn't know Grandmother would do that..."

"It's nothing," Gu Wanning said. "I didn't blame you, Marquis. I just wanted to offer Marquis some advice."

"You say it." Xu Weibei felt that he had never been so cautious before.

"We have already divorced and will never be together again. Your Marquis should solemnly declare this to the Grand Princess, everyone in your household, and all the women outside, asking them not to disturb my life! I am very satisfied with my current life, and it would be even better if the people of the Marquis's Residence's household didn't bother me."

I'm not in that position, so I shouldn't be involved in its affairs. I'm not going to clean up your messes!

It's really annoying.

Xu Weibei was deathly pale, and didn't even know how he left.

Chapter 172 Xu Weibei Suicide

Even Er Ya felt a pang of pity watching this.

"Young lady, could you please be a little more polite?"

He never understood that my desire for a divorce was genuine, not just a passing impulse.

Xu Weibei still considered her his woman.

But in reality, they have already separated and have no relationship anymore.

Today, the Grand Princess bullied and humiliated her. It might not be a bad thing if she could use this opportunity to clear things up with Xu Weibei.

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.

"I have many things to do," Gu Wanning said. "The Marquis also very busy; there's really no need to waste time on each other."

"You're right, I just feel sorry for the Marquis."

I originally thought the Marquis was a fierce and ruthless dog, but it turns out he was just a sycophant, and in the end, he ended up with nothing.

How heartbreaking.

Gu Wanning changed the subject, saying, "I didn't expect my second brother to defend me like that."

"I never expected this!" Er Ya exclaimed excitedly. "I used to think that Second Master was like a celestial being descended from heaven, untouched by worldly affairs and unapproachable. But now I see, that's not the case at all. No wonder he became the imperial consort!"

If she were a princess, she'd be confused even with a prince consort like that.
