When Did He Stop Being Able to Do It?

Gu Yuanshi was filled with shame. "Yes, I'm not a good father. Not only to Gu Wanning, but to my other children too."

"The person you've wronged the most is Gu Wanning. Let's not dwell on the past. If you had even a sliver of genuine remorse for her, you wouldn't have pushed Gu Xiaoxiao into my life. Don't tell me this was Gu Xiaoxiao's own doing. Without your indulgence, would she have dared? Would she have dared? Even now that the truth has come out, she still refuses to admit her mistake. Do you think a leopard can change its spots?"

Xu Weibei refused to back down.

"I'll take her in today; you'll have to thank me later."

"My Marquis, she is just an innocent country girl who has indeed done something wrong. I will handle this. I will certainly keep her in check and marry her off as soon as possible so that she will no longer cause Marquis trouble. I beg you to Marquis leniency."

"I'll let you off the hook? Why should I? Does Chief Grand Secretary Gu think you have any face left with me? I've been lenient with you before, mostly because of Gu Wanning, and partly because you didn't have any selfish motives when it came to matters of principle, regardless of right or wrong. But I will not let this matter go."

"Besides, what makes you think Gu Xiaoxiao won't cause any more trouble? A leopard can't change its spots!"

"My Marquis, this happened so suddenly," Gu Yuanshi said earnestly, having lost all face, "Please give me two days, Marquis, so I can give Marquis an explanation. If you are not satisfied by then, I will hand the man over to Marquis for further action."

Xu Weibei raised a finger. "One day. I won't leave. I'll stay here and wait for you until this time tomorrow. I'm ready to receive the Chief Grand Secretary's instructions at any time."

"Good."

Gu Xiaoxiao was still crying and making a fuss, but this time, Gu Yuanshi did not indulge her.

He said, "Today I will discuss your marriage arrangements, and I want your in-laws to come and pick you up as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Gu Xiaoxiao refused, but no one listened to her.

"An Qi, send someone to invite Consort of the Prince of Qin. Tell her I'm not feeling well and ask her to come back and see me. But don't frighten her..."

With things in such a state at home, Gu Yuanshi felt mentally exhausted.

Wei Shi was not good at handling such matters; she was too kind and weak, and not good at maneuvering.

He Shi was intelligent, but she obeyed her husband after marriage, Gu Anqi's attitude reflected her own.

Needless to say, Gu Wanning has always been indifferent to family matters.

Therefore, Gu Yuanshi wanted his eldest daughter, who was skilled in social interaction and meticulous in everything, to come back and help him handle the matter properly.

Gu Wanqing should be able to persuade Gu Xiaoxiao to focus on her wedding preparations and not cause any more trouble.

Gu Yuanshi then ordered Gu Anqi to personally change the wedding date, the sooner the better; Gu Anfang, on the other hand, was given the task of guarding Gu Xiaoxiao, which made him grumble in anger.

Gu Wanning remained a cold observer throughout.

She was actually already thinking about something else.

That explains why Xu Weibei's body is like this... He's only had one doctor since childhood. Did that doctor know or not know the true condition of Xu Weibei?

Over the years, has Xu Weibei never felt anything unusual?

How did he pass his "introductory course"?

She had been the mistress of the Marquis's Residence's mansion for so long, and indeed no one had ever mentioned Xu Weibei's concubine.

Should she tell Xu Weibei the truth now?

If it can be cured, that would be best; but if it can't be cured, wouldn't it be better not to know?

But how long can this be kept secret?

Alas, Xu Weibei should have had eight sons, so that father and son could fight side by side and achieve unparalleled feats.

As a result, they couldn't have any children at all. How incredible is that...?

Xu Weibei called out to Gu Wanning again.

Gu Wanning had no choice but to go.

"Feeling better?" she asked.

"Whether you like it or not, I'm not leaving. Today I'm going to make the Gu family give me an explanation. Unless, unless it's your whole family, I might not let you go..."

"Then you'd better not let it go."

He seems to be alright now, but he's started being shameless again, like a leech.

Chapter 196 When exactly did it start to fail?

Xu Weibei qi knot.

But then I thought about it again. If the Gu family doesn't treat Gu Wanning as one of their own, Gu Wanning treats them the same way.

It's better this way.

He selfishly hoped that Gu Wanning would only have one home—the home she would build with him.

"Look at this," Xu Weibei began attacking the Gu family again, "You insist on divorcing me. Honestly, are you more comfortable living in the Marquis's Residence or the Gu family?"

"Of course, the Marquis's Residence is more comfortable, but—" Gu Wanning said, "I don't Gu family either."

If Xu Weibei hadn't been targeted by Gu Xiaoxiao, what would today's events have to do with her?

Xu Weibei thought that he was sheltering him from the wind and rain, but in fact, the wind and rain were brought by him.

Although Gu Wanning didn't say it, Xu Weibei could clearly see the disdain in her eyes.

"You have no heart." Xu Weibei gritted his teeth.

Gu Wanning: "..."

Is the Marquis possessed by a resentful woman?

However, she doesn't admit to that.

If she had no heart, why would she be so conflicted right now, and how would she even bring up her "illness" with him?

If he can't do it, then let him not do it.

She's just too kind-hearted; that's why she sympathizes with her ex-husband.

That's not right!

Gu Wanning suddenly remembered something very serious.

Third Concubine said that Xu Weibei's condition was that he had never actually had sex.

But if it's never happened, then how did Jiaoniang come to be? How did A Yi come to be?

Good heavens!

Xu Weibei, but also had a green meadow on his head?

No, no, you can't just suspect others.

Could it be that Third Concubine was mistaken? Did Xu Weibei have been able to do it before, but was injured and became unable to?

She needs to discuss this matter with her Third Concubine again!

Gu Wanning blinked. "My Marquis, were you injured when you went to the battlefield before?"

Xu Weibei did not answer.

He was wondering whether it was better to get injured or not.
