Gu Xijiu used to look more like her mother, Luo Xinglan, and more like him.
But now, she only looked a little like Luo Xinglan. The resemblance between the two of them had disappeared.
Gu Xietian was there to discuss the wedding with Gu Xijiu, but he was lost in his thoughts as he looked at Gu Xijiu.
It was true that a girl would change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood.
He only came back to his senses when Gu Xijiu coughed. He sighed, "Xijiu, you are so successful now. If only your mother was still alive …"
Gu Xijiu smiled and did not speak.
What would Gu Xietian think if he knew that Luo Xinglan was still alive and had married someone else?
If there were no accidents, Luo Xinglan would definitely attend the wedding. Gu Xietian would probably be struck by lightning.
In the past two years, Gu Xietian had probably realized his mistake and actually dismissed all his concubines, leaving only the two concubines who had already given birth to daughters. However, he only kept them to raise their daughters, and he no longer stayed with them.
Every night, he stayed in the small courtyard where Luo Xinglan was imprisoned. He said that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Luo Xinglan. However, he stayed in the house as if he was still with her.
In short, he was miserable. Gu Xijiu could not help but sigh when she saw him like this.
Some people only know how to cherish something after losing it. However, there were some things that could not be reversed.
When Gu Xijiu came back, it was New Year's Eve. Gu Xietian gathered his family together. There were two concubines and three daughters. It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but somehow, it felt a little sad.
Gu Xietian was drunk that night. He did not go to his concubines' house but stayed in the small courtyard.
Gu Xijiu happened to pass by his door and saw him crying while hugging a sword. He kept calling for Ah Lan, Ah Lan, and Xiao Nuo. The seven-foot tall man was crying like a child.
When he woke up, Gu Xijiu talked to him. She tried to persuade him to have another child with the two concubines. Perhaps, they could have a son.
In this era, men were superior to women. A family without a son would be looked down upon and criticized.
When Emperor Xuan was still alive, he tried to persuade Gu Xietian to marry another concubine. He even sent a few singers to Gu Xietian, hoping that one of them could give birth to a son who could continue the family line. However, Gu Xietian rejected all of them.
After listening to Gu Xijiu's advice, he shook his head and said, "I have wronged your mother and your brother, Tiannuo … Therefore, God has punished me for not having a son in my life. I have already accepted my fate. I only hope that the three of you can grow up safely and marry into a good family. I will be satisfied with that."
Obviously, he had made up his mind, so Gu Xijiu did not try to persuade him anymore.
This time, Gu Xietian came to talk to her for a while and then left.
His silhouette looked a little bleak, and his hair had turned a lot white, making him look old.
Gu Xietian's spiritual power was at level five and a half, which meant that he could extend his lifespan to more than 150 years old.
Gu Xietian was only 48 years old this year, which was the prime of his life. However, he looked so old now. It made people feel sad for him.
Time was like a butcher's knife. It always made people understand how much they had to pay for a moment of willfulness in the past.
