Can You Ask That?

Similarly, Gu Wanning felt that if she were to make Xu Weibei choose between her and the Grand Princess in the future, Xu Weibei would probably choose the Grand Princess.

Because she was old and frail.

At this point, whoever is weaker is right, and you can't find fault with yourself, but you're definitely feeling incredibly frustrated.

If everything in the world could be like a true/false question, with a simple right or wrong answer, that would be wonderful.

But I can't give it to you.

Each has its own perspective, so it's hard to say who is right or wrong.

Gu Wanning is not good at handling these complicated things.

Let her continue living carefree, and don't bury their love in the grave of marriage.

Xu Weibei was rejected again.

Chapter 288 Is this a question that can be asked?

Xu Weibei had long since figured out Gu Wanning's personality—that she responded better to gentle persuasion than force.

Although he was upset, he didn't try to persuade her anymore.

When Xu Weibei couldn't sleep, he couldn't help but wonder what he could do to dispel Gu Wanning's doubts!

Sigh, she was already afraid, and now seeing Princess Qingyi's difficult childbirth, she probably has a phobia of childbirth, including matters between men and women.

It's all Gu Anwei's fault.

Poor Gu Anwei, having just survived a close call, is now being cursed behind her back.

However, Gu Anwei is now extremely Qingxing.

He didn't sleep; he just sat on the footstool, staring at his wife almost like a madman.

Thank God, thank Buddha.

He will cherish his limited time in life even more and live a happy life.

Gu Anwei's two children, the son's name was chosen by Gu Yuanshi, the single character "Tong", taken from the idea that a gentleman is harmonious but not the same.

The daughter's name was chosen by Princess Qingyi herself, with the single character "Chang," hoping that her daughter would be carefree and unrestrained throughout her life.

Tong-ge Chang-jie, being twins, were born almost at full term. Although there were some twists and turns, they are both very healthy.

Gu Anwei declined the official position newly appointed by the Emperor and continued to hold his post in the Ministry of Rites.

He only obtained this official position because Gu Wanning mentioned it to the Emperor, so Gu Anwei made a special trip to tell Gu Wanning before resigning.

"... I'm fine, as long as Second Brother is happy," Gu Wanning said. "But Second Brother, are you really not going to regret it?"

She felt it was a bit of a pity.

Gu Anwei is indeed very talented, and he should be given a chance to showcase his abilities.

Gu Anwei replied, "Actually, I know my personality isn't suited for officialdom."

He's not tactful enough.

There are many talented people in the world, but talent does not necessarily lead to a career in government.

"And now, I want to spend more time with your second sister-in-law and raise our two children. No matter how glorious a person's life may be, in the end, we all return to dust."

Life doesn't have that many meanings.

To live a happy life following one's own heart, and to have a soulmate by one's side—this is a happiness that is rare and precious.

He already has it.

"In any case, it was because you mentioned it to the Emperor that he entrusted me with this important task. I've been through it all, and it's nothing special. I have no regrets. Gu Wanning, thank you."

"Second brother, you probably didn't want to stand out anymore because our father and brothers hold high positions of power. Second brother, look at you, you've become like a bad influence from Dad, you don't speak properly anymore," Gu Wanning said with a smile.

There must have been this concern, but Gu Anwei didn't say it.

"Yes, but that's not the most important thing. The main thing is my own opinion," Gu Anwei said.

"Okay. As long as Second Brother is happy, anything is fine," Gu Wanning said sincerely.

Perhaps it was because he had become a father, or perhaps it was because he understood how much his own father had anticipated his arrival, and how he had knelt outside the door in the freezing cold, humbly begging for Buddha's mercy, that Gu Anwei felt that he and his father had reconciled.

Not everything a father does is right, but he is a father now, and he also feels apprehensive about how to be a good father.

It may not be perfect, but it has done its best.

"Remember to come to Tong-ge Chang-jie's one-month celebration."

"Of course we're going! It's the day before New Year's Eve, let's have a good time. Yiling even said she wants to come with me to join in the fun."

Your second sister-in-law sends her plum blossoms every day.

Gu Wanning laughed loudly, "The old plum tree is doomed."

Yiling is truly... different.

This was the only way Gu Wanning could describe her.

After all, they saved my life, so it would be ungrateful to say anything bad about it.

But this girl truly never plays by the rules.

For example, after saving Princess Qingyi that day, she continued to visit Gu Wanning for meals from time to time, just like before, and even more frequently than before.

Come on then.

In the dead of winter, Gu Wanning had nothing to do and was bored anyway, so she decided to experiment with cooking.

Moreover, Princess Qingyi was quite loud in her demands, but she couldn't actually eat much, and she wasn't picky about food; just adding another pair of chopsticks was enough for her.

However, Gu Wanning felt something was off; Yiling looked at her with a hint of something hesitant to say.

"Just say what you want to say, or keep it to yourself. Don't keep it bottled up like this; it makes me uncomfortable," Gu Wanning said irritably.

My apologies, my apologies, this is my savior.

But she really couldn't control her overwhelming urge to complain!

Why don't you ask me how I saved your second sister-in-law that day?

Gu Wanning: "...???"

Didn't you make it all so mysterious, preventing people from seeing or asking?

Why are you asking her this now, instead of asking her questions?

"Is that something I can ask?"

"Cannot."

"That settles it then?" Gu Wanning rolled her eyes at her and handed her a small dish of fried peanuts. "Go eat over there and don't cause trouble."

The first peanut harvest: the plump ones are saved as seeds for next year's planting, and the rest, which aren't quite plump, are just for snacking.
