He actually understands many things.

And it seems that he sees it more clearly than himself.

Shangguan Ce sighed in his heart, as expected, the real person cannot be judged by his appearance.

He poured a cup of tea for Gu Shouyan and said calmly:

"Brother Gu, just take care of yourself."

I hope that in the future, the Shangguan family and the Gu family will not go down the same path as fire and water.

Gu Shouyan said "hmm", took the tea and drank it.

At this point, basically everything that needs to be said has been said.

The two of them drank tea separately. Although they did not speak, they did not scheming with each other, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Gu Shouyan suddenly remembered something and glanced at Shangguan Ce curiously, but did not ask.

Shangguan Ce seemed to feel something, put down the teacup, and said slowly:

"Brother Gu, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Gu Shouyan nodded and said bluntly:

"There's one thing I don't understand. How can you, a person who only cares about interests, have such deep prejudices against others? Are you so prejudiced against others?"

"Today's dinner, that elder of the Shen family made things difficult for Wan'er. It was unbecoming, and you didn't say a word?"

Shangguan Ce was silent, "He's just a fool..."

He took a sip of tea, brushed the tea leaves, and said in a calm tone, "The Shen family married her here to test the attitude of my Shangguan family."

"The Shen family has shown goodwill to us, and we must also show our attitude."

"Even if she keeps messing around, we have to be polite. After all, we just made money from the Shen family's spiritual stone, and she is soft-spoken."

"And the other rooms in Shangguan's house are actually using her as a weapon to put pressure on Yi'er..."

"The other members of the Shangguan family have long been eyeing the position of the head of the family. If they can't take it from me, then they can take it from Yi'er."

"This kind of thing will never happen in the future, and I won't get involved."

"I am the head of the family, but I am only the head of the family. The real power lies in the hands of the ancestors, and I cannot decide many things."

"If Yi'er has the ability to serve everyone, then he can naturally become the head of the family. But if he can't control others, it would be a good thing to let someone else take this position as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will not be indecisive and damage the foundation of the family."

"As for Wan'er..." Shangguan Ce's eyes darkened, "She was implicated by Yi'er."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yi'er is too affectionate and cares too much about Wan'er, so Wan'er naturally became his destiny."

"Husband and wife are one, and if Wan'er makes a mistake, then Yi'er makes a mistake."

Shangguan Ce sighed slightly: "If Yi'er is just a child of an ordinary family, not the son of the head of the family like me, and is not involved in the dispute between the heads of the family, then naturally no one will think of embarrassing Wan'er."

"As a young couple, they just need to live peacefully."

"It's a pity that their identities are not ordinary..."

Gu Shouyan nodded.

"As for hearing people..."

Shangguan Tactics pondered, his eyes complicated, "Although there is a rift between the Shangguan family and the Wen family, and they have not intermarryed for generations, it is not a blood feud."

"Otherwise, the marriage between Yi'er and Wan'er will be cut off from the very beginning. No matter how hard Yi'er begs, it will be impossible."

Shangguan Ce glanced at Gu Shouyan and said calmly: "But I am indeed not optimistic about this marriage from the beginning to the end."

"The Wen family is just one aspect. I don't hate the Wen family, but there is really no benefit to the Shangguan family from marrying the Wen family..."

"In other words, the benefits are not big enough."

"Yi'er has a good background, good talents, and excellent appearance. Although some children are affectionate and indecisive, this makes women more popular."

"When we discuss marriage, I have several marriages in my hands. These women are of direct bloodline, have first-class family status, are of good appearance, have spiritual ore dowries, and are extremely powerful."

"Being married to them will be of great help to my Shangguan family, to me as the head of the family, and to Yi'er's future inheritance as the head of the family."

"Yi'er will have a smooth journey in the future."

"But……"

Shangguan Ce sighed deeply, "I'm so disappointed with Yi'er. He doesn't want any of these good marriages. He only thinks about it, saying 'I won't marry anyone who isn't you', and insists on welcoming this girl Wan'er into the door."

"Wan'er is not a bad kid. He values ​​affection and justice just like Yi'er. Although he is a little willful, he has a good heart."

"But as the future wife of the Shangguan family, she is not qualified at all."

"In addition, this is the first time Yi'er has disobeyed me like this."

"His marriage, through its operation, could have huge benefits. The status of my Shangguan family could also be further improved towards the unattainable sixth rank. However, everything backfired and all the plans were in vain..."

Even though Shangguan Cecheng's palace was very deep, he couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows, showing a sulky expression.

Gu Shouyan probably understood.

Sitting in the position of the head of the family, many things are not as simple as they appear.

He also understood Shangguan Ce's mood.

"But," Gu Shouyan frowned, "What about Yu'er? That's all Wan'er. After all, Yu'er is your biological grandson in a single line. You can't do that because Wan'er, this girl, has alienated even your biological grandson..."

Shangguan Ce's eyes darkened, his expression changed, and he seemed to have something unspeakable.

"If it's not convenient, just forget it."

Gu Shouyan just asked in passing and didn't insist on Shangguan Ce's answer.

After all, this is a family matter of the Shangguan family.

Gu Shouyan poured himself another cup of tea and began to sip it slowly.

Shangguan Ce's face was covered with a shadow. After being silent for a long time, he finally sighed and spoke slowly:

"When Yu'er was born... I asked an ancestor from Qintian Prison to tell his fortune."

Gu Shouyan was stunned and frowned slightly.

Shangguan Ce continued: "Yu'er..."

He paused for a moment, closed his eyes deeply, then slowly opened them, with a cold tone, "Since Yu'er was born, his destiny has been to be a 'dead person', a mutilated body, not a living person.

people……"

Gu Shouyan's hands trembled and he looked shocked.

Then his eyes darkened, "Fate matters may not be true..."

Shangguan Ce shook his head, "You don't know the identity of that ancestor. His fortune telling can't be wrong."

"And...I can see it too."

"Yu'er, this child, has been different from others since he was a child. Although he seems to be a good person, his spiritual consciousness is naturally weak, as if his soul is incomplete. Moreover, he can occasionally see things that ordinary monks cannot see, and he can do

Some incredible nightmares, like...a baby with one foot half-stepped into hell..."

Shangguan Ce's eyes were a little painful, "So every time I see Yu'er, I feel like there's a thorn in my heart."

"He is my only biological grandson whom I finally obtained with great difficulty, but he is destined to be a 'dead man' who dies young and cannot be raised at all..."

Gu Shouyan looked stunned for a long time, then suddenly looked at Shangguan Ce, mercilessly, and sneered:

"You were a scumbag when you were young, and you will become extinct when you are old. You deserve it."

Shangguan Ce looked ugly, but was unable to argue.

Seeing his expression, Gu Shouyan sighed, and finally softened his tone, "Can't we save him?"

Shangguan Ce looked bitter, "No one can change things like fate."

"Fart!" Gu Shouyan's face darkened, "If you really can't change, there won't be any words like 'change your destiny against the will of heaven'!"

Shangguan Ce sighed: "These are the original words of the ancestor. Back then, he said that Yu'er's fate was forged innately. The secrets of heaven are too deep and the cause and effect are too great. It cannot be reversed by human power..."

Gu Shouyan asked in a low voice: "What kind of cultivation is that ancestor?"

Shangguan Ce pointed to the sky.

Gu Shouyan's heart froze and he said no more, but he also knew in his heart the weight of this assertion.

After drinking tea, Shangguan Ce left.

Gu Shouyan sat alone at the table, not drinking tea. He sat in a daze, thinking of Yu'er's innocent and well-behaved appearance that day.

Gu Shouyan couldn't help but feel pain in his experienced heart, and sighed in a low voice:

"A good boy, but he has a bad life..."

…

Mo Hua had a big meal and stayed one night at Gu's house. He was going back to Taixumen early the next morning.

The four words "deep blessing" written by Mr. Xun were given to Wen Renwan in ink painting.
