Actually, he was disturbed by Zhang Xiaohui when she was not gone. Zhang Xiaohui’s intention was not very obvious back then, but Old Madam Zhang’s attitude was apparent.
He had someone he loved. How would he have anything to do with Zhang Xiaohui?
He hated the personality of the Zhang family.
She left afterwards. He stayed at home all the time. Initially, Zhang Xiaohui was not satisfied with him but one day she decided to be with him. She tried all possible ways trying to marry him.
It was a huge incident in the Qing River Brigade. He was afraid of the consequences to his parents, and so he compromised. They got married.
Zhang Xiaohui was in a rush, and the wedding was very casual.
He had plans to get rid of Zhang Xiaohui after some time. He just needed to shift people’s attention away from them before he chased her out.
His intelligence was more than enough to settle Zhang Xiaohui.
But he did not expect that his loved one would return after eight months.
She was injured and collapsed in the mountain. She was about to give birth.
He blacked out at the moment, but he sent her to a midwife in the town.
It was a coincidence that Zhang Xiaohui was going to give birth. He understood the reason why Zhang Xiaohui was in a rush to marry him when she looked down on him earlier on.
She had a relationship with another man and was pregnant. He was used as a disguise.
They never had any sexual relationship, but she was pregnant. He did not need to explain the reason behind it.
But the Zhang family did not seem to know the truth. At least Old Madam Zhang was not aware. They purposely sent her over to the midwife in the town to show off their identity.
They asked him to run all the errands when they met him there.
He took the opportunity to stay as his loved one was giving birth there as well.
Eventually, his loved one gave birth to a daughter and Zhang Xiaohui gave birth to a pair of twins.
He was delighted to be a father and had a daughter. The Gu family had many sons and grandsons, but there was no girl in the family.
Zhang Xiaohui’s children were not his. It was the right opportunity to get rid of her.
When he was bringing the child to visit her mother, a couple came to the room in a rage.
They were her parents. They dressed differently. There was a car outside, and they were followed by servants.
He was standing outside the room and heard that the child was from a bastard. They intended to send away the child. The rage and hatred on their faces were terrifying.
He was terrified and aware that he would get in trouble with such a family. Girls were less valued in that generation. No one would treat her nicely if she was sent away.
But they pitied their daughter still. The lady was crying as she spoke. They were here to bring their daughter away. He also heard vaguely that they were going overseas.
He urgently needed to protect his daughter. He noticed that Zhang Xiaohui carried one of her daughters out. He followed her and saw that she put the child into another wealthy family’s cradle.
