Chapter 146 Doubt
marry?
Ge Fu's expression became serious. "You have seen my situation. If you marry me... you will be under a lot of pressure in the future. Especially since you can't marry me with your original identity. As an ordinary foreign man with no status, you will be embarrassed by many people."
She is not against marriage, but she also doesn't think people must get married.
Especially when getting married can cause a lot of trouble.
They won't have children anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they get married or not.
But Lu Yao obviously didn't think so. He said seriously: "I don't mind being embarrassed." He was determined to get this status no matter what.
Ge Fu was suddenly in a dilemma.
She couldn't say whether she was too realistic and afraid of trouble or she didn't love deeply enough. In short, she didn't have any obsession with marriage. Or in other words, most of the time, she wasn't an obsessive person. She wouldn't embarrass others, nor herself.
After a long period of confusion, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She was confused. They were clearly far from getting married.
To be honest, the two have only known each other for about three months, and have only been dating for a month or two. No matter what, it is not time to talk about marriage.
Of course Lu Yao also knew this, but...
He grabbed Ge Fu's hand and said, "I just want to make my attitude clear."
Despite this, Gofu still felt the pressure.
After all, as long as everything goes smoothly between the two of them, if that day really comes...
"Are we really going to get married?" she asked worriedly to Zheng Ruonan who came to play with her.
"Get married, why not?" Zheng Ruonan didn't know the whole story, but she was indignant for her and said, "Why don't you get married? Even if that person is very powerful, your surname is Ge, not Xiao, and our Hengyang is not Jinglong. It's not her place to interfere in your marriage. You don't have to worry about her wanting to adopt your child. The ministers are watching. Even if she wants to adopt your child, she can't adopt the eldest daughter. She can't ignore the inheritance of the Ge family, right? If she really does this, the ministers' saliva will drown her."
This kind of thing is all about sympathy for one's own kind, and other ministers were also afraid that similar things would happen to them.
Ge Fu hesitantly said, "There's no need to get married. I don't need a marriage certificate. If we get married, Lu Yao will have an imperial decree, and then he will have to go to the palace to pay respects. His temper... He can tolerate me, but he'll probably say anything harsh to Lu Yao."
Xiao Yuan liked to divide people into different levels. Although she was afraid of her, she was from a noble family on her mother's side and a royal family on her father's side, so she was a real aristocrat. So no matter what she thought of her, she had to be polite to her.
But it was hard to say about Lu Yao. Ge Fu had seen how she spoke harshly to the lower-ranking officials in the past.
Not only did Ge Fu not want Lu Yao to suffer any injustice, she was also afraid that he would not be able to hold back and would directly stab Xiao Yuan.
In that case, no matter whether it was a good result - she was pushed to the throne, or a bad result - she was sentenced as a treason and thrown into prison, it was not what she wanted to see.
"If I were Lu Yao, if that person used words to ridicule me, I would return them to her without missing a word." Seeing Ge Fu's eyes widened, Zheng Ruonan said, "Lu Yao is a male relative. Have you ever seen a master quarreling with a male relative? Not to mention the emperor. At most, she took away Lu Yao's imperial edict, but that kind of thing, do you want it more or he wants it more?"
This really makes sense.
Just like in a society where men are superior to women, although men look down on women, if they argue with women, they will be looked down upon. In Hengyang, if men are unreasonable, women cannot argue with them. Women who argue with men will also be looked down upon.
"Let me think about it..." Ge Fu pinched his eyebrows and said.
Zheng Ruonan said with a look of encouragement: "Don't be so easy to talk to. In the past, you were young, and she, as an elder, could manipulate you. But now you are an adult, and the power of the Ge family is in your hands. You don't have to be too afraid of her."
"but……"
She frowned and said, "I heard someone talk about something some time ago."
"Is it about me?" asked Goforth.
Zheng Ruonan nodded and said, "I heard from an old man's family that because of heavy bleeding during the birth of the eldest prince, His Majesty had to have her uterus removed, and she has been unable to have children since then. When you were born, Prince Chenrui and Duke Dingguo agreed to adopt you to His Majesty. Later, Duke Dingguo died in battle, and the matter was dropped."
Is there such a thing?
Gofu was shocked.
"This is actually not surprising." Zheng Ruonan sighed, "If Duke Dingguo was still alive, they could have another child. Compared to the inheritance of the Ge family, the lack of an heir to the royal family is the most important thing. Your Ge family has been loyal for generations, so it is reasonable for Duke Dingguo to agree."
Ge Fu asked hesitantly, "Do you know whether my father and mother have a good relationship?"
Zheng Ruonan was stunned, and asked hesitantly: "Why did you suddenly think of asking such a thing?"
"From the look of you, you should already know." Ge Fu did not answer her question.
"I know." Zheng Ruonan didn't want to say it, but seeing her insistence, he finally said, "I heard that although your parents grew up together, they get along like siblings. Your father also had a fiancé who he loved, and if that fiancé hadn't had an accident, your parents wouldn't have been together at all."
She whispered, "It is said that your grandmother doted on your father very much. When your father was very young, she said that she would let your father choose his own marriage. From the outside world's perspective, your parents' marriage was a complete arranged marriage, and King Chen Rui married into the Ge family in order to consolidate his sister's imperial power."
Gofu was silent for a long time.
You have to know that her father, King Chen Rui, died for love.
Since they were not in love with each other, why would the father abandon her young daughter and commit suicide for her husband?
If he were alive...
and many more!
Ge Fu suddenly realized something.
Now Xiao Yuan is coveting her offspring. If her father were still alive, would she also covet his children?
But that would only happen if my father remarried.
So, in order to never have to remarry again and no longer be forced into a situation of his own accord, my father chose to give up his life?
No, that doesn't make sense.
There must be something inside that I don't know.
Regardless of the inside story, there is something fishy about King Chen Rui's death.
Gofu clenched his fists tightly.
Zheng Ruonan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't say any of the other more shocking rumors. There was no evidence, and speaking out about them would not only not help Ge Fu, but would only cause her trouble and even lead her astray.
