Chapter 1837 - 1839: For the Sake of the Child, You Must Stay
When Madam Guo returned, Master Guo immediately asked, "What did you find out? Did the two of them consummate their marriage or not?"
Madam Guo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "They did. Our son was just covering up for Xiaotian by saying it was a fake marriage. Can there really be a fake marriage? Even if it started as fake, after living together for so long, how could they not consummate? Would you be able to resist?"
Madam Guo definitely wouldn’t say that her son and daughter-in-law hadn’t consummated their marriage, because if she did, who knows what he might do.
"This is about our son, why are you dragging me into it?" Master Guo grumbled in disbelief, then said, "Since that’s the case, leave the rest to you."
With that, Master Guo left.
He didn’t need to manage things in the back courtyard; even if he didn’t intervene, his wife would surely do so.
...
...
As soon as Guo Feng returned to the separate courtyard, he found Xiaotian and spoke excitedly, "My dear, father and mother have agreed—they’ve accepted you and Little Yueyue. They won’t make us part ways, so don’t worry."
Hearing this, Xiaotian was quite surprised. How was this possible?
The truth was already out; the child was not of the Guo Family, and she had brought shame upon them. How could father and mother agree so easily? "Brother, what did you promise them?"
Xiaotian felt that it couldn’t be so simple; Guo Feng must have promised them something.
Caught off guard by this question, Guo Feng hesitated internally, but didn’t show it outwardly, "I didn’t promise anything at all. You know, I’m their only son. They have no choice but to accept those whom I’ve decided upon."
"Brother, I want to..."
Xiaotian wanted to say that she didn’t want to continue making mistakes, but before she could speak, Guo Feng interrupted her.
"My dear, don’t say anything. I don’t want us to part ways. If not for me, at least for the child’s sake. If we’re together, the child will have a legitimate identity. But if we part ways and you leave with the child, have you thought about the child’s future? Don’t tell me you’re going to look for Li Fugui?"
"If people outside find out the child isn’t from the Guo Family, but from before you married into the Guo Family, how will the child live in the future? Won’t they be scorned?"
"For the sake of the child, you have to stay."
Guo Feng’s words stopped Xiaotian in her tracks; she had nothing left now but her child.
She didn’t want her child to live a life of disgrace because of her actions.
She wouldn’t go looking for Li Fugui. If this had been before she had a maternal family, maybe she’d take her child to a place where no one knew them.
But now she had a maternal family; she couldn’t just go wherever she wanted without worrying them.
Furthermore, she couldn’t bear to let her child suffer hardships with her. She didn’t want her daughter to endure hardships alongside her.
After thinking it over, perhaps continuing like this was the best option, for everyone!
"Alright," she finally nodded her head.
Seeing Xiaotian agree not to leave, Guo Feng’s heart was overwhelmed with excitement; he didn’t even mention the issue of heirs because he didn’t want to pressure her too much, "The three of us will live a good life together."
"Okay."
The three of them, as a family, nestled together.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, "Young master, you have a letter."
Upon hearing a voice, Guo Feng got up and walked towards the door, taking the letter. As he opened it, his eyes suddenly widened, stunned by the name signed at the bottom of the letter.
