Xiao Jing was not the only one who was dissatisfied. Gu Teng also stood up and said, “Yunbao is the most polite. Unless someone finds trouble for no reason and uses some useless etiquette to make things difficult for the child.”
Xiao Shan had not seen Gu Teng many times, but in his impression, Gu Teng had always been gentle. Even when she was put in a difficult position, she did not refute.
Therefore, he thought that Gu Teng had a weak personality. As long as he scared her, he would be able to control her. At that time, he would be able to get any help from the Gu family.
Unexpectedly, he was rebuked by Gu Teng at the beginning.
Xiao Shan slammed the table and said, “What are you guys doing? Are you going to be disobedient and unfilial right after getting married?”
Xiao Jing snorted and said, “Forget about me. Gu Teng is not your daughter. Why should she be filial to you?
Xiao Shan really couldn’t believe his ears. He roared, “Since she’s married into the Xiao family, she’s the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. Of course she has to be filial to me, her father-in-law. After the two of you get married, you have to quickly give birth to a grandson for me.”
Xiao Jing was so angry that he almost laughed at this request. Because he was worried about Gu Teng’s health, the two of them had long agreed not to have children. They would only have Yunbao in this life. Moreover, he did not think that it would be better to have a son. In this era, there was no such thing as favoring boys over girls.
“If you want a son, give birth to one yourself, we won’t listen to you,” Xiao Jing refused.
This made Xiao Shan furious. His son was clearly very obedient when he proposed marriage previously. Why did he suddenly go against him now? Someone must have instigated it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shan said to Gu Teng, “You’ve just entered the family and you’re already sowing discord between us father and son. Is this how the Gu family teaches their daughter?”
Yunbao could not accept anyone talking about her mother. She said, “You were the one who wanted to bully Mom. You’re a bad person!”
“Little girl, you really have no manners. You actually dare to scold your elders,” Xiao Shan said as he walked towards Yunbao.
Xiao Jing stopped him and said, “I won’t let you bully my wife and daughter.
Don’t forget that you killed my mother. I can never be a filial son.”
With that, he brought Gu Teng and Yunbao upstairs. After closing the door, he apologized, “I didn’t think it through and brought you back. Let’s rest for a while before returning to the capital.”
If it was in the past, Gu Teng would have endured it for the sake of her lover. But now, for the sake of Yunbao, she could not let Xiao Shan insult her. Anyway, the wedding was already over. It was better for the three of them to return to the capital to stay.
The people upstairs had already discussed leaving. Downstairs, Xiao Shan was so angry that his blood pressure soared. Everyone in the Xiao family began to persuade him.
It was not to persuade him not to be angry, but to endure it and not anger Gu Teng. After all, in the eyes of the Xiao family, their greatest support now was the Gu family.
Second Uncle advised him, “You clearly know that she’s the eldest daughter of the Gu family, so why are you still putting on the airs of a father-in-law? Our entire Xiao family is counting on the Gu family to guide us. I think you should submit to her as soon as possible.”
Third Uncle walked around worriedly. ‘Eldest Brother, don’t let your emotions affect you. If you anger Miss Gu to the point of returning to her family, the entire Capital will know that our Xiao family has angered her. At that time, these people who came to collaborate will definitely leave.”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle took turns to persuade Xiao Shan. They wanted Xiao Shan to lower his head and please Gu Teng. This made Xiao Shan, who had been the head of the family all his life, feel very aggrieved.
However, his second brother and third brother were right. The Xiao family was indeed relying on the Gu family now. If he wanted to make the Xiao family prosperous, he could only lower his head.
In the past, he had been focused on marrying his son a daughter-in-law of noble birth. He did not expect that he would be the one suffering after marrying one.
Xiao Shan sat downstairs with a sigh. No matter what, he refused to go upstairs to apologize to Gu Teng. He had just reprimanded Gu Teng and could not bring himself to apologize now.
Moreover, he was right. If they gave birth to a son earlier, they would also inherit the Xiao family. Could it be that they wanted to hand over the Xiao family’s assets to Gu Yun?
Xiao Shan could not accept this outcome. In his opinion, the girl would marry out sooner or later. At that time, the family assets would be taken advantage of by outsiders.
Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly stood up under everyone’s gaze and said expressionlessly, “I’ll apologize to my daughter-in-law now.”
With that, he walked straight upstairs. He stood in front of the door and slowly revealed a strange smile. He reached out to knock on Xiao Jing’s door. Xiao Jing opened the door and said angrily, “Dad, why are you here?” Xiao Shan smiled and said, “I’m here to apologize to my daughter-in-law..”
