Chapter 128 It’s hard for me to like one person, and there is only one Gu Wanzhou in the world
If Ji Nanzheng still doesn't understand what I said... then he should be able to understand it. If he still doesn't understand, she will be so angry that she will get sick.
"I know." Ji Nanzheng seemed to be confident and repeated, "I know."
Wan Zhou: “…”
Really know? Why does his lips curl up and he doesn't look like he knows?
But she was too lazy to ask.
"Now that you know, General Ji, please go back. Let's all take care of ourselves from now on." Wan Zhou wanted to sleep.
The meaning of seeing off guests is obvious.
Ji Nanzheng didn't understand what she meant at all and was immersed in the joy of his sudden enlightenment.
She smiled with a bit of a silly smile, and looked at Wanzhou seriously: "Wanzhou, I know where I went wrong. I shouldn't have asked you to like me. I should have given you time and waited for you to like me. Wanzhou, I'm sorry, I was anxious."
Ji Nanzheng's idea is very simple, find the problem and solve it. Wan Zhou wants to divorce and doesn't want to be involved with him. In the final analysis, she doesn't like him, so he will wait for her.
Once Wan Zhou falls in love with him, everything will be solved.
Wan Zhou: “…”
Who understands the feeling of being so speechless that you can’t even get angry?
Wan Zhou was worried that she had a miscarriage, so she covered her chest and took a deep breath.
"Tell me what you like about me, and I'll change it..." Wan Zhou couldn't hold back as he spoke, and shouted, "Can I change it until you don't like it?"
"Don't get excited." Ji Nanzheng immediately comforted him, "Let's find another time to talk about it, okay? I said I won't force you anymore. I'll wait for you."
"Then what?" Wan Zhou asked with a sneer.
"I'll marry you again."
Wan Zhou really wanted to say casually: If you want to wait for me, just wait.
But today she had a deep understanding of how stubborn Ji Nanzheng was. Wan Zhou admitted defeat and she had no other choice.
"Ji Nanzheng, why don't we discuss some terms..."
"You said."
"Don't say anything about whether you like it or not. Prepare a betrothal gift of 300,000 yuan and have the Duke's wife personally bring a matchmaker to propose marriage."
"I will think about it."
Wan Zhou was really tired and didn't want to go around in circles anymore.
The Duke’s Mansion definitely has three hundred thousand, but there is no way they can give it to you.
The Duke's wife would not come in person to propose marriage.
Ji Nanzheng fell into deep thought.
He knew Wan Zhou was deliberately making things difficult for him. He had no idea about money, but he knew how much three hundred thousand was. But since he knew the amount, he could work hard.
The difficult part is asking his old mother to come and propose marriage in person.
But Wan Zhou has stated the conditions, and no matter how difficult they are, they are concrete. As long as they are not the kind of ambiguous, invisible and intangible difficulties, he has confidence.
"It's a deal." Ji Nanzheng swept away his previous depressed look and agreed readily: "You are not allowed to regret it."
Wan Zhou was somewhat surprised that Ji Nanzheng agreed so readily, but he was mostly relieved.
She replied, "Of course. But before the Duke's wife comes to propose marriage, you must not harass me again, and you must not harass me in the name of the child's father."
Wan Zhou was certain that Ji Nanzheng would not be able to convince Mrs. Wang no matter what.
For the sake of the Duke's Mansion, Madam Wang even gave up her niece Wang Sijun, whom she had high hopes for, and even Ji Nanzheng's own flesh and blood... Ji Nanzheng could not get over this mountain of Madam Wang.
"I promise you." Ji Nanzheng still agreed happily.
But he emphasized, "I promised you that I would not come over. However, I cannot ignore your safety. I have arranged two of my own people next door. Don't misunderstand, I will not monitor you, but just in case. If there is anything, just go and knock on the door next door."
Wan Zhou then realized that Ji Nanzheng had actually planted someone next door.
Fortunately, although Ji Nanzheng is terribly stubborn and arrogant, his character is still reliable.
Huayang had originally told her to find two guards, but she didn't like having too many outsiders in the mansion, so she refused.
There is a free one next door now, why not use it?
As long as Ji Nanzheng doesn't come to harass her, it's fine.
"I understand. You can leave now." Wan Zhou directly ordered him to leave.
"You must be tired. I'll leave right away." Ji Nanzheng seemed very considerate this time.
He took a reluctant look, then turned around and left quickly.
Wan Zhou felt exhausted all over and was helped by Qiu Ge to go back to sleep. He was physically and mentally exhausted and fell asleep almost as soon as he got into bed.
Ji Nanzheng kept his word and never visited his ex-wife's bedroom at night again.
In the past few days, he roughly calculated his own property. The salary over the years, plus the land, house and other property awarded, all added up to only 15. As a bachelor who has not yet inherited the title, his net worth is top-notch.
But, it’s still half way to 300,000.
But what gave him the biggest headache was convincing his old mother.
Although there is no solution for the time being, he is not discouraged. Instead, he is full of motivation because there is visible hope.
That night, Ji Nanzheng was alone and felt empty, so he went to find Ji Nanxian again.
As luck would have it, Ji Nan was not in a good mood and was troubled.
The two brothers drank together, both of them with heavy hearts, taking turns drinking.
"Fourth brother, can't you let go of Fourth Sister-in-law?" After a few drinks, Ji Nanxian started to feel emotional and wanted to talk to his brother about his inner thoughts.
Ji Nanzheng was also a little tipsy and nodded.
"Fourth brother, you really have to listen to me. You should let go. If Fourth Sister-in-law still had some feelings for you, she wouldn't have asked for a divorce." The slightly drunk Ji Nanxian still felt sorry for Ji Nanzheng.
I am worried that my fourth brother, who doesn't know how to love and won't turn back even if he hits a wall, will get hurt.
"She promised to let me marry her again." Ji Nanzheng held the cup and drank the wine like he was tasting tea.
Ji Nanxian's eyes suddenly dilated...
impossible?
Did he agree to it? Could it be that Gu Wanzhou was playing hard to get? What a master!
"Then why are you still drinking alone?" Ji Nanxian still found something wrong.
Ji Nanzheng told Wan Zhou about his request.
When Ji Nanxian heard this, he sobered up a little and said silently in his heart: I'm sorry, former fourth sister-in-law, I wronged you. You didn't play hard to get. You clearly built an insurmountable wall for the fourth brother.
"Fourth brother, do you know what the standard of betrothal gifts is in our Duke's Mansion?" Ji Nanxian asked.
"Within 5."
Ji Nanxian: "..."
I know it's still a fantasy.
"You don't think that just because you are the prince, the future Duke, your father and mother will make an exception for you and give you three hundred thousand, do you?"
"I'll figure it out myself."
Ji Nanxian: "..."
"What do you think? A great war god general, the future Duke of Dingguo, is he going to borrow money to marry a wife?"
"My mother could get so angry that she would do something bad on the spot, believe it or not."
Ji Nanxian poured a basin of cold water on you, and then poured a second basin of cold water on you: "Also, how do you convince mother? I heard that mother is arranging Princess Yingxin for you."
The implication is that it is impossible.
Originally, Ji Nanzheng was confident, but Ji Nanxian kept pouring cold water on him, which made him very annoyed.
"Then what do you think I should do? What kind of man would I be if I let my wife and children wander around? Besides, I really like her. It's easy for others to like someone, but it's hard for me to like someone. And there's only one Gu Wanzhou in this world. Do you understand?"
Ji Nanxian raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you confront mother head-on? After all, you are the pillar of the Duke's Mansion, so mother will naturally treat you differently. If you really confront her head-on, she will eventually compromise."
"But, in that case, mother probably won't be able to treat Fourth Sister-in-law well." Ji Nanxian reminded again.
Ji Nanzheng poured himself a glass of wine, and his eyes were full of bitterness. He knew that if he showed his usual stubbornness and persistence, his old mother would naturally not be able to stand it. But then his mother would definitely hate Wan Zhou to the core. He didn't understand the affairs of the harem, but he also knew the importance of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
As the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, even if the family was divided, only the other brothers could go, not him. Wan Zhou and his old mother could only live under the same roof.
He even considered not being the Duke's Prince, but being a general and moving out. But the Duke's Prince was something he earned, not something he inherited, so if he didn't want it, he could give it to other brothers.
This prince of the Duke's Mansion can only belong to him. If he doesn't want it, it will not exist. Although he doesn't value fame and fortune, he can't escape the world. He wants Wan Zhou to become the noble and unparalleled Duke's wife.
Moreover, this is also the emperor's kindness, he cannot be ungrateful.
Ji Nanzheng had encountered many difficulties in the battlefield, but now he seemed to feel that the current difficulties were the most troublesome. It was difficult to let his mother put aside her prejudice, and it seemed no easier to make Wan Zhou have confidence in him than to conquer his mother.
For the first time, Ji Nanzheng felt powerless and unsure.
Ji Nanxian has always looked up to Ji Nanzheng, but the person he looked up to now had a hurt look on his face, and there was a fragility in his eyes that he had never seen before, and he couldn't stand it.
He could joke and play pranks, but he couldn't bear to see Ji Nanzheng really get hurt, and he never wanted to pour cold water on him again.
He had a lot of thoughts on his mind, but he still tried to find a solution for Ji Nanzheng first.
"Fourth brother, you just mentioned wife and children? Could it be that Fourth Sister-in-law has a child?"
"Don't tell anyone." Ji Nanzheng instructed.
He didn't know that Mrs. Wang already knew about the child, and he was worried that if Mrs. Wang knew it, it would cause trouble.
Ji Nanxian was not doing his job properly after all. He rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea: "Fourth brother, I'll give you a bad idea. It's very bad, but I can guarantee that you don't have to pay money or convince mother. Mother will find ways to propose marriage."
