Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Guo Feng’s words caught the Guo Master and Madam Guo completely off guard.

The Guo Master was so angry that he pounded his chest repeatedly, coughing non-stop, ”Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”

Madam Guo immediately approached to soothe the Guo Master, ”Master, don’t get upset yet.”

Seeing Madam Guo and then recalling that rebellious son, the Guo Master was furious, exclaiming, ”This is your so-called good son.”

Hearing this, Madam Guo was displeased, ”Hmph, what’s wrong with my son? This shows he’s passionate, far better than you, the philanderer father.”

”You... cough, cough...” the Guo Master was so angry he nearly spat blood.

He wasn’t without other children; all were driven away by this very Madam in front of him. Now, the Guo Family’s ancestors only recognized Guo Feng as a son, but what’s the result? This son has been dragging his feet to get married and left no heirs for the Guo Family. Presently, they barely retain one, yet it’s not the Guo Family’s child—how could he not be upset, not be furious?

He said woefully, ”Madam, he’s trying to sever the Guo Family lineage!”

These words made Madam Guo slightly uneasy, but she wouldn’t admit it, ”Stop cursing my son; my son is perfectly capable, there will be heirs in the future.”

The Guo Master snorted coldly, ”In the future? Didn’t you hear? He’s cutting ties with us! What future is there?”

At this moment, the Little Maid who had just gone out to gather news came back.

”Master, Madam, the young master has locked the Young Lady in the room.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Guo frowned. This means what the son said was true; the marriage was fake. The woman wanted to leave, yet her son insisted on keeping her by his side. Considering her son’s obsession with Xiaotian over the years, it wasn’t impossible, but now it was tricky. Did they really have to let Xiaotian stay and raise someone else’s child?

”So where is the young master?”

The Little Maid replied nervously, ”The young master has gone out.”

Madam Guo waved her hand, ”Alright, you may leave.”

After hearing this, the Little Maid retreated.

Once the Little Maid left, the Guo Master again burst into a rage, deeply hurt, ”Look, look, utterly outrageous!”

Madam Guo soothed the Guo Master; regardless, this was her husband, and he should not be angered into illness, ”Master, don’t get angry anymore; what’s important is how to solve this matter, how to wrap it up.”

”Humph, how to solve it? The Guo Family cannot tolerate such a person as the future matriarch, nor can it help raise someone else’s child.”

Initially, Madam Guo and the Guo Master shared the same attitude, which is why she considered asking Xiaotian to leave with the child. She couldn’t tolerate Xiaotian deceiving her son.

But now it seemed, her son knew everything, and he did it deliberately to keep Xiaotian by his side.

Knowing her son’s character, leaving the Guo Family and severing ties wasn’t just talk.

If they truly did not accept Xiaotian and insisted on driving them away, they would likely lose this son. By then, the Guo Family would indeed be extinct.

Thinking of this, Madam Guo sighed; this son, what could she say about him, being so devoted to this extent!

What’s a mother to do?

She only has this one son; the extinction of the Guo Family is bearable, but she cannot let her son go extinct. If they clash with her son, and he decides never to marry again, it would be a disaster. It seems the decision for Xiaotian and the child to leave was too sudden.

No one has stirred conflict with her for years; has she been living too comfortably?

How could she have done something so poorly?
