The God of War is killing like crazy

Chapter 153 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 13

The Duke of Zhenguo planned to choose a husband for Si Ying, and sent someone to invite Si Ying to the main hall to ask for her opinion.

Of course Si Ying would not agree, but before she could say anything, someone reacted more strongly than her, and that was Gu Chengyuan.

Gu Chengyuan felt uncomfortable when he knew that his sister A Yao was favored by many families. He felt that A Yao was still so young and had not even reached the age of marriage, so it was too early to get her engaged.

He always felt that there were a group of ferocious people around him who wanted to steal his sister. His A Yao was so innocent that if he entered their house, he would be eaten up by that group of people without leaving anything left. So he had to personally find a family for A Yao that had a clean backyard, kind parents-in-law, and he himself was a family with excellent sons.

So when the Duke of Zhenguo asked Si Ying for her opinion, Gu Chengyuan directly denied it.

So such a scene appeared in the main hall of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo held up a portrait of a man and said, "Yao'er, this is the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is very knowledgeable and handsome..."

Gu Chengyuan bluntly said, "I heard that the Prime Minister is extremely afraid of his wife, and his wife is well-known in the capital for her fierceness. If Yao marries her, she will definitely be bullied by her mother-in-law. This is not acceptable!"

The Duke of Zhenguo...

He picked up another portrait of a man and said, "Wan'er, take a look at this one. This is the eldest son of the Minister of Rites. He is very knowledgeable and usually recites poems and paints..."

"Indeed, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites once wrote poems for the girls in the brothel. Those poems were simply insulting." Gu Chengyuan continued to make trouble.

Duke Zhenguo... He secretly glared at his son. What happened to Yuan'er today? He always ruined his plans.

So, he looked at Si Ying and said, "Yao'er, no one is perfect, and no gold is pure. Don't listen to your brother. These young masters are all noble young masters from big families. They are all excellent in knowledge and family background."

The Duke of Zhenguo was telling the truth, the young men from aristocratic families that he picked had the best family backgrounds in the capital. If Gu Xinting were present, she would definitely scold Si Ying for being ungrateful and dreaming of marrying someone.

Gu Chengyuan said indifferently, "But father, these young masters have many wives and concubines, and they must be overwhelmed by the trivial matters in the house. Compared with our Zhenguo Mansion, father only has mother, which is much worse. If Yao marries into such a family, she will definitely be bullied because she is simple-minded."

After all, although Si Ying is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, she is still inferior in the eyes of those big families. It is a golden opportunity to meet these families who take the initiative to propose marriage. So the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to say something, but Gu Chengyuan interrupted him directly and said,

"Father, A-Yao is still young. There is no need to arrange a marriage for her so early. Why not wait until she reaches the age of marriage? Then we can slowly look for a suitable partner. A-Yao is the daughter of our Duke's Mansion. She will definitely find a good man who is well-matched with her in the future."

The Duke of Zhenguo was a little angry at first because his son refuted him again and again, but then he thought that what Gu Chengyuan said made sense, so he asked Xiang Siying what she thought.

Gu Chengyuan was a great help. Si Ying naturally would not get engaged to those people. This was the original owner's business.

So she said, "Father, I think what my brother said makes sense. I am not yet an adult yet, and I want to spend more time with father and mother."

When Duke Zhenguo heard what Si Ying said, he immediately thought that Si Ying had misunderstood and thought that he was in a hurry to marry her off, so he hurried to explain. In the end, he also felt that this was indeed not a good idea, so he dropped the matter.

The next day, Duke Zhenguo politely declined all those who came to propose marriage, saying that his daughter was still young and wanted her to stay with him for a few more years.

This incident has passed, but it also made Si Ying seriously suspect that something was wrong with Gu Chengyuan. With Gu Chengyuan's personality in his previous life, he would definitely not be so hostile to the Duke of Zhenguo, and something was wrong with him from the moment she saved him. Si Ying originally thought it was her fault, but thinking back to the time in the village, it was Gu Chengyuan who took the initiative to say that she was his sister, and everything that happened afterwards, his actions were completely inconsistent with the original owner's memory.

It seemed that she was too kind to the original owner this time. Could it be that? Si Ying suddenly had a bold idea in her mind. But she needed to confirm it.

So the next day, Si Ying deliberately told Gu Chengyuan that she wanted to go out for a walk. Gu Chengyuan was indeed worried about her being alone, so he took the initiative to accompany her out for a walk.

Along the way, Si Ying deliberately did some things that Gu Chengyuan in his previous life didn't like, but this time he didn't mind and didn't even say a word of criticism.

Including, in his previous life, he hated women who were naughty, ran around when walking, and did not have the slightest ladylike demeanor of a lady from a noble family. But this time, Si Ying deliberately did not behave dignified in front of him, and walked and jumped and looked around in a very lively manner.

But Gu Chengyuan just stayed by her side, telling her not to fall, and was very concerned about her safety.

So Si Ying deliberately took him to a candy figurine stall, picked up a candy figurine that looked like a general and said, "Brother, look at this candy figurine, does it look like a general?"

"Buy it if you like it." Gu Chengyuan smiled dotingly.

Si Ying deliberately looked into his eyes and said word by word, "Brother, why don't we have any female generals in our country? I heard that there is a very powerful female general in our neighboring country. Have you heard of her?"

Sure enough, as soon as Si Ying said this, Gu Chengyuan's expression changed slightly and he frowned, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said calmly, "Oh, really? I don't know. That's the neighboring country's business. Yao'er, I just need to take care of our Zhenguo Mansion and take care of you. Nothing else matters."

Si Ying saw Gu Chengyuan's expression and his tone with a barely detectable anger. She was now certain that there was something wrong with Gu Chengyuan. If she was not mistaken, he might have been reborn.

Moreover, he liked that female general so much in his previous life. When I mentioned her just now, he didn't show much happiness. Instead, he had hidden anger. This can only mean that something happened later that created a gap and even hatred between him and the female general.

Si Ying didn't know what happened, and she planned to investigate it slowly in the future, but what made her more curious now was Gu Chengyuan's attitude towards the original owner.

If he were reborn, he would probably hate the original owner very much. But why would he be so wholeheartedly in wanting to protect the original owner? Compared to when he was very nice to the original owner in his previous life, he is much nicer to her now. He must have known something.

Either he knew the truth about the original owner's murder, or he knew the behind-the-scenes story of why the original owner was bullied.

But no matter what. Si Ying was sure of one thing, he must have known that the original owner was harmed by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and Gu Xinting in her previous life, otherwise he would not have been so righteous and sacrificed his own family to protect Si Ying in the previous incident.
