I'm Not Getting Married (Continued)

Good heavens, that's really good heavens.

My brother-in-law is such a good husband; he always thinks of his wife when he has something delicious or fun to do.

He actually brought his sister-in-law to see the handsome man.

This level of male virtue is absolutely unparalleled.

Xu Weibei, you should learn from my older brother.

"Greetings, Princess." Gu Anqi stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

He Shi also bowed, then quietly pulled Gu Wanning behind her, took two steps back, and handed the "battlefield" over to her husband.

"What, can't I even hit a girl who has no respect for her elders!" Although the Grand Princess didn't buy it, her attitude was clearly not as tough as before.

Gu Wanning thought to herself, if her elder brother is still so capable, he can make someone like the Grand Princess hesitate and back down.

A rising star is emerging, big brother, you absolutely cannot fall.

When you're at the height of your power, I can do whatever I want.

"My younger sister was clumsy and bumped into the princess while walking. I apologize to the princess on her behalf."

He downplayed the incident, describing it as a simple collision while walking.

The Grand Princess was unwilling to let it go easily, but she couldn't be too forceful and break off relations too much, after all, Gu Anqi's future was limitless.

So she said sarcastically, "Grand Secretary Gu was a man of integrity and upright character throughout his life. The only mistake he ever made was bringing his daughter back from the Estate."

"The biggest mistake that princess made was coming to your door to ask for your only grandson to marry this daughter," Gu Wanning retorted defiantly.

When it comes to weirdness and eccentricity, she has to defeat magic with magic.

He Shi tugged at her and said in a very soft voice, "Stop fooling around, think about the Marquis."

Gu Wanning understood what she meant.

She meant that she and Xu Weibei would reunite in the future.

Then the Grand Princess, as her great-grandmother, cannot be bypassed.

Therefore, you can't let your relationship with her become too strained, otherwise you'll be the one in trouble later.

But Gu Wanning disagreed.

If getting married would be too unfair, then don't get married!

Life is short and difficult; we're too busy taking care of ourselves to expect to be someone else's savior.

Even if it's Xu Weibei, she can't do it.

She was willing to give everything to repay Xu Weibei for everything he did for her.

But that only applies to him.

She has limited love of her own, is always stingy with it, and cannot extend that love to everything connected to her.

In a flash, Gu Wanning suddenly realized something.

She understood the Grand Princess's intention in appearing today and hurling insults at her!

She refused to get back together with Xu Weibei!

She probably also knew that Xu Weibei wouldn't die.

However, since her relationship with Xu Weibei had improved because of this incident, she was unwilling to see it happen.

In the mind of the Grand Princess, he was probably already on her blacklist.

That's why we have this street standoff today, all to make him back down when he realizes the difficulty.

The eldest brother should have thought of this much earlier, and out of consideration for his own feelings, he wanted to downplay the matter, but the Grand Princess insisted on her own way.

The thought of my family having to swallow their pride and endure humiliation in front of the other family because of me—if we can tolerate that, won't we be trampled on and humiliated in the future?

If one has even a tenth of the belief that they don't want to be wronged in marriage, then the tenth is the belief that they don't want their family members to be neglected or looked down upon, and to suffer along with them!

Gu Wanning firmly believes that a good marriage is about mutual support and is beneficial to both families.

Otherwise, it's not a good marriage.

Even a child knows to throw away bad things, let alone her?

Thinking of this, Gu Wanning sneered, hitting the nail on the head.

"Your Highness," she said softly, enunciating each word clearly, "If you worry that I might remarry the Marquis, then I swear a solemn oath here and now: if I ever marry into the Xu family, may I..."

"Gu Wanning, shut up!" Gu Anqi snapped.

At the same time, He Shi also reached out and covered Gu Wanning's mouth.

Er Ya helped hold Gu Wanning down.

Gu Wanning: "..."

When it really matters, the three of you are indeed a family.

But let her finish speaking!

"I understand what the princess means," Gu Anqi said distantly. "These matters should be discussed after the Marquis is released. The most urgent task is to get the Marquis out, don't you think?"

The Grand Princess snorted coldly, "Rescue him, and then continue to watch him act foolishly for your sister?"

"This is a family matter between our two families," Gu Anqi said calmly. "Why bother discussing it outside and giving others something to talk about? It would be better if I informed my father and asked him to come and pay his respects to His Highness, so that our elders can discuss things face to face."

Upon hearing him mention Gu Yuanshi, the Grand Princess's expression softened slightly.

However, she clearly didn't want to see Gu Yuanshi.

"Then forget it. Grand Secretary Gu is busy with important court affairs; it's not worth making a special trip for this. I suggest that you go back and keep an eye on your sister, so she doesn't make a fool of herself again!"

Why won't you let me finish?!

Even after returning home, Gu Wanning was still pacing back and forth in anger.

Gu Anqi and He Shi also followed her to her residence.

Gu Wanning originally didn't want them to come in, fearing they would be scolded by Gu Yuanshi.

But Gu Anqi said, "Father is father, and I am me. He may not acknowledge his daughter, but I will acknowledge my sister."

Er Ya chimed in from the side, "Yes, yes, Grandpa is right. Grandpa's got wings now, he's not afraid of me anymore."

Gu Wanning: "... You should study hard."

My brother, thank you for the compliment.

Seeing her daughter's temper, He Shi couldn't help but scold her, "Sister, you're too impulsive. If your elder brother hadn't stopped you, everything you said would have become a slap in the face later."

Gu Wanning and Xu Weibei are clearly a good match.

"When doing things, always remember your purpose. Don't forget your original intention just because of a few provocative words from others," Gu Anqi advised Gu Wanning. "Achieving your goal is the most important thing."

Gu Wanning expressed that she had learned a lot.
