Chapter 257 Making a Marriage Agreement
After the guests left, Leng Zhuxin followed Mo Qingyun to Mo's father's study.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Father Mo ask, "Yun'er, are you a little confused as to why the Gu family would cause trouble at the family recognition banquet?
They are not targeting you, nor the Mo family."
Leng Zhuxin shook her head: "I can probably guess that Gu Fei should be doing this for his sister's marriage.
But I don’t understand why we can’t just tell the Demon King that Gu Mei doesn’t want to marry the Fifth Prince. The risk of offending our Mo family is no less than that.
Besides, the Demon King is not a fool, it is impossible for him not to see through the Gu family's thoughts."
Leng Zhuxin frowned, as if she couldn't understand why the Gu family would act so foolishly, but soon Father Mo explained it to her.
“Gu Mei’s mother and the Fifth Prince’s mother are cousins, and they have been planning a marriage for the past few years.
It’s just that the fifth prince’s mother thinks highly of herself and wants to pick one from several families.
Before you were found, she had thought about letting Mo Qingmin marry the fifth prince.
I just felt that Mo Qingmin was your uncle's son and could not compare to my biological daughter, so I always wanted to adopt Mo Qingmin.
The reason for this idea is that your grandmother is the Demon King's sister. From an outsider's perspective, the Demon King respects your grandmother very much.
In addition, the power of our Mo family and Gu family is comparable, so we have been hesitant.
After you were found, your grandmother took you to the Demon King's Palace. Do you still remember what your grandmother said that day?
After that sentence, the Demon King must have given up the idea of making you the Fifth Princess.
Your grandmother also took the initiative to say that Mo Qingmin and Qin Gu were close. Now that I have found your daughter, there will naturally be no possibility of adopting Mo Qingmin.
The only person the mother and son could catch was the young lady of the Gu family.
The most proud person in the Gu family is Gu Mei."
Father Mo paused for a moment, and after seeing a thoughtful look on Leng Zhuxin's face, he stopped talking.
Leng Zhuxin combined what Mo's father said with what happened today and understood it.
Gu Mei certainly doesn't want to marry the Fifth Prince, and the Gu family feels that Grandmother Mo is deeply respected by the Demon King.
If Gu Fei offended the Mo family, it would be equivalent to offending Grandmother Mo. Because of this, the mother of the fifth prince would most likely give up Gu Mei.
The head of the Gu family must also think that since the Mo family has only lost their daughter for more than ten years and has not raised her by their side, they must not have deep feelings for her.
Out of considerations of interests, he would certainly not really become an enemy of the Gu family for Leng Zhuxin.
Wait a few days, and when Gu Mei's problem is resolved, come and apologize, and the matter will be over.
She figured it out and nodded, "Daughter, I understand. The Gu family doesn't want Gu Mei to marry the Fifth Prince. That's why they want to use me and the Mo family as leverage to break off this marriage."
The Gu family also bullies the weak and fears the strong. They dare not say in front of the Demon King that their daughter looks down on the Demon King's son, nor do they dare to reject the mother of the Fifth Prince who may have provided some help to their Gu family.
They picked our Mo family as the soft persimmon to bully, and thought that our Mo family was as stupid as their Gu family and would get angry at the slightest provocation, thus ruining the marriage between Gu Mei and the fifth prince.
Choosing Gu Fei probably means they think it will be easier to explain later, and they can just say that the youngster acted rashly and it will be over."
Father Mo and Mo Qingshan nodded in agreement, secretly thinking that Leng Zhuxin had a thorough understanding of the Gu family.
The look he gave Leng Zhuxin was even more doting, "Yes, it's just as you guessed.
But the Gu family will not think they are stupid. On the contrary, they may be complacent when they see you really fighting with Gu Fei, thinking that their plan has succeeded.
But they thought I was too stupid. How could I not guess what they were thinking?
They want to use you and the Mo family as a raft, but it's really bad luck for them.
I was being merciful by not overturning their original raft.
Gu Mei will definitely marry the Fifth Prince. The more the Gu family doesn't want it, the more they want to plot against our family for this daughter. The more I don't want them to get what they want.
If they had come to visit your grandmother and behaved politely, your grandmother could have helped them solve the problem.
After all, many people know that the Fifth Prince is not a good match, and Gu Mei is considered a good child outside, so her grandmother will definitely help them.
But they should never be so smart!
Gu Mei also lived in our Mo family for a while when she was a child. Your grandmother treated her very well, and even your mother treated her as her niece.
But I didn't expect that she would ruin your family reunion party like this.
If you let them have their wish, won't everyone think you are easy to bully?
If someone encounters a situation in the future where they need to use you as a raft, won’t they have to follow the Gu family’s example?
It’s a wonder everyone is here today, otherwise I would have definitely beaten that brat from the Gu family out.”
Father Mo glared and slammed his palm on the desk, his beard seemed to stand up in anger.
After cursing the Gu family for a few words, he turned his head and looked at Mo Qingshan, "Qingshan, take your sister to the Gu family tonight to vent your anger, but don't make a big fuss. Gu Mei's marriage must be completed."
Mo Qingshan already had the idea of venting Leng Zhuxin's anger, so he agreed without any hesitation.
He quickly prepared everything and was just waiting to bring Leng Zhuxin to visit him in the evening.
Grandma Mo went into the palace.
The Demon King came to the family recognition banquet today, but he only sat for a while at the beginning of the banquet and then returned to the palace.
Even so, he knew everything that happened at the family reunion banquet.
Every family in the Demon King's City has the Demon King's spies. Especially during banquets, if the head of a family talks to another head of a family for a few more words or talks for a long time, it will reach his ears.
The Gu family made such a big fuss today, how could he not know about it?
Grandmother Mo came into the palace and said only one thing, "Gu Mei is a good child. The feud between the two families should not affect Gu Mei. If the Fifth Prince really wants to take Gu Mei as his concubine, he does not have to worry about the relationship between the Mo and Gu families."
Just this one sentence made the Demon King praise "Eldest sister is really magnanimous" and immediately called the Fifth Prince to finalize his marriage with Gu Mei.
The fifth prince seemed somewhat reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey the Demon King, so he accepted it even though he was reluctant.
After Grandma Mo left, the Demon King sat alone in the hall, practicing with his eyes closed.
He was happy to learn that there was a conflict between the Gu and Mo families.
Since he took this position, he has been worried every day that someone will take his place.
He wished that all the nobles in the Demon King's City would become hostile to each other, especially the Gu and Mo families, which were already powerful.
If the two families really joined forces, he would definitely be unable to sleep at night.
He could see clearly and guess what the Gu family was planning. If the marriage between Gu Mei and the fifth prince was really ruined, the Gu family might even have to thank the Mo family.
It would be better to let her marry the Fifth Prince, or to issue an order to the Fifth Prince in front of Grandmother Mo after she enters the palace. This way, the relationship between the Gu and Mo families will not be good.
The Gu family might even resent the Mo family for this. After all, the Gu family must be extremely fond of Gu Mei to be able to do this for her.
"But the Gu family may be tied to his useless fifth son in the future..."
The devil thought secretly, flicked his sleeves and stood up.
