Then the servant said softly to Gu Yan: "General Gu will rest in the mansion for a while to rest in peace, and after a while, he can participate in some banquets. If you don't show up for a long time, you will always be suspicious."
Gu Yan could tell that this was also the meaning of the emperor, and there was no change in his expression, so he responded firmly, "Okay."
Having said all that needed to be said, the servant took the money from Zhuang You and left.
"It's windy outside, you just woke up, don't catch a cold." Zhuang You said while wiping away tears.
Gu Yan nodded slightly.
After walking two steps, Zhuang You suddenly noticed something was wrong, "Yan'er, your hand..."
Gu Yan didn't speak.
Zhuang You also realized that he was afraid that the wall has ears, and this is not a place to talk, so he didn't ask.
It's just that her peripheral vision repeatedly glanced at the unnaturally hanging arm, and her heart couldn't help feeling heavy.
When he was in the room, Zhuang Youping withdrew his servants.
Gu Yan took the initiative to say: "My right arm is useless."
Zhuang You staggered suddenly, she looked at Gu Yan in disbelief, her voice was choked up and panicked, "How could this be..."
Gu Yan briefly talked about what the imperial physician said, and his whole posture was very calm and casual, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
But Zhuang You only listened to a few sentences before tears streaming down his face.
The hand is useless.
It can't be cured.
No matter how calm Yan'er's tone is now, she also knows that this matter will definitely hit him hard.
It's just that his temperament is as stubborn as his father's, and he also likes to keep everything in his heart, and he will hide his emotions tightly so that others can't see it.
But she is her mother, how could she not understand her son?
Tears fell down, she covered her lips with her hand, not daring to say anything more about Gu Yan's arm.
Gu Yan was silent for a while, then handed over a handkerchief.
He is not good at comforting people, and the words he said are cold and blunt, "Mother, don't cry, your right hand can't be used, and your son still has a left hand. As long as he can train his left hand properly, his son can continue to lead troops to fight and go to the battlefield. Defend the country!"
His words were sonorous and powerful, and Zhuang You's heart trembled.
She originally thought that if she lost one hand, her son would not have to continue to fight in the future, and she would not have to worry about his safety every day in the future. This is a blessing in misfortune.
It's just that hearing him say this now, it can be heard that his mind is still on the battlefield.
Zhuang You only felt that her heart was in pain like being pricked by a needle, but she always respected her son's thoughts, and she couldn't say anything to refute at this time.
She wiped her tears and forced a smile, "You can figure it out, and mother is relieved."
Gu Yan is not good at words, and he doesn't know what to say at this moment.
The air fell silent, and he lowered his head and glanced at his arm inadvertently.
And such a small action happened to be seen by Zhuang You who had been watching his every move.
Zhuang You sighed, "I remember that girl from the Shen family is already 16 now, and you have a marriage contract, why don't you take advantage of this time to set the date of marriage and marry her back."
The son is full of war, and it is always inappropriate to have no one who knows the cold and the hot by his side.
And after marrying a wife and having children, he has a family and nostalgia, maybe he won't always think about training his right hand to fight.
"Mother, I was just about to talk to you about this." Gu Yan said sternly, "I want to divorce the engagement!"
"Retire? No, you can't resign!" Zhuang You disagreed all over his face, "You have been engaged to that girl from the Shen family for more than ten years, and now you have reached the marriageable age but you say you want to resign. What do others think? Let the Shen family What does the girl think?"
Gu Yan said expressionlessly: "I am not worthy of that girl from the Shen family, and I shouldn't delay her life."
Zhuang You gritted his teeth, "Why don't you deserve it? You have healthy limbs, but you can't use your right hand, but you also said that you will train your left hand to be as flexible as your right hand. How can this not be worthy?"
"What's more, I'm an old friend with the late mother of the girl from the Shen family. I believe her daughter is not a worldly philistine. Even if you don't move your right hand, she will definitely not have any strange thoughts about you."
"Yan'er, don't think too much. Mother will go to the town government's mansion for you tomorrow, and arrange this marriage for you!"
Gu Yan frowned.
She clearly said that she was going to retire the engagement, but why did she turn into a final marriage?
He raised his eyes slightly, with a calm expression on his cold and hard face, "I want to divorce, not because of my right hand."
"Why is that?" Zhuang You was startled, "Do you have another girl you like?"
Without waiting for Gu Yan's reaction, Zhuang You's face immediately showed an angry look, "You know that you have a marriage contract, how can you be so foolishly attracted to other girls? The girl from the Shen family finally waited for you until you were 16 years old, and you suddenly said that you want to break off the engagement , isn't this throwing the girl's face on the ground and stepping on it?"
What's more, she was the daughter of a good friend in her boudoir at that time.
Now that she is dead, how can she do such a treacherous thing?
Zhuang You said angrily: "You don't care if you are seduced by that foxy girl outside, anyway, I only recognize the girl from the Shen family as my daughter-in-law. No matter if other women are concubines or housemates, I will not allow anyone to enter the gate of my Gu family Half a step!"
Seeing that his mother was still crying, but suddenly became so angry and annoyed, Gu Yan laughed a little.
"Who is the child, doesn't the mother know? I won't do things that break my promise. But there is a reason for retiring the engagement. "
"What reason?"
"Earlier, Doctor Yang said that there is still a poison in my body, and there is no way to get rid of it, which made me unable to perform the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou..."
The expression on Zhuang You's face suddenly froze, her lips trembled, and there was water in her eyes: "Why, how could this be? You are only 20 now, and you still have a good time to live, why don't you say that your right hand is useless, Yet again……"
Gu Yan was still indifferent, "Perhaps it is fate."
It may also be that he killed too many enemies on the battlefield and was contaminated with too much karma, after all, there will be retribution.
But what about this?
It's just that he can't marry a wife and have children, he doesn't care!
In the future, he will continue to fight, and he must also respect the Gu family's ancestors' precepts, serve the country wholeheartedly, and die in battle without regret.
"Fate...fate..."
Feeling dizzy, Zhuang You staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She was breathing quickly, not knowing how to adjust her mentality at all, and she didn't know what to say at this time.
Gu Yan was still urging her to divorce the Shen family earlier, but she didn't respond or refute.
In order not to worry her son, she forced herself to leave, but the moment she stepped out of the room, her hands and feet became weak and she almost fell to the ground.
She glanced at the old nanny who was supporting her, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"My Yan'er is really suffering..."
