The Shou Prince Mansion held a full moon banquet for the little county. It was still sunny at noon. Soon after the ceremonies were dispersed, the sky above my head suddenly became cloudy. At dusk, snow actually started to float. At first, it was just shattered small snowflakes, and then they became bigger little by little. Soon, a thin layer of white was laid out. A carriage left the palace gate, turned several turns, and headed towards the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Guo Boyan opened the cotton curtain, and a few pieces of broken snow were blown by the wind, falling on his face, quickly turning into a few cool notes. Guo Boyan touched his face, stunned for a moment at his fingertips with thick calluses, and then put down the curtains to cover his face as gloomy as the sky.

The carriage was parked in front of the Duke's mansion.

Guo Boyan jumped out of the car, glanced over the Shou Mansion in the distance, and then stepped into his mansion. He went to pay tribute to the grandma first, and changed his family robe back, and hugged Brother Mao and listened to his wife Lin's full moon banquet. He smiled with relief and pride when he saw his wife mentioning her daughter's clever return to Princess Rui.

It was snowing outside and the room was warm and warm. This was his home. He exchanged half of his body for peace and wealth.

Guo Boyan did not allow anyone to ruin this family, including his most proudest and most respected eldest son.

After dinner, Guo Boyan asked Lin to go to bed first. He took two things and went to find his eldest son alone.

In the winter season, after a short dusk, it was a long dark night. It was still early, and Guo Xiao couldn't sleep. He leaned against the bedside to read the history books. When his father came, Guo Xiao immediately put down the book, quickly sorted out his clothes and went to the main hall to greet him. Guo Boyan had already come in, and a thin layer of snow fell on his shoulder. He bounced it casually and looked at his eldest son and asked, "Isn't sleeping yet?"

The father and son looked at each other, as if they knew what each other was thinking, but they seemed to be unable to see through each other.

"Just finished the meal, I was going to read two quarters of an hour before I could rest." Guo Xiao said truthfully, and ordered Ashun to prepare tea.

"Go to drink." Guo Boyan stopped Ashundao.

Ashun was surprised and subconsciously looked at his master. Guo Xiao nodded and asked his father to sit on the warm bed the next time. However, Guo Boyan moved to the main seat of the main hall and drank outside. When he entered the main hall, the curtain of the main hall was raised and put it on the door panel. Ashun did not dare to put it down. The cold wind blew in the winter night, and in an instant, it dispelled the original warmth.

Guo Boyan sat towards the door, thinking about something.

Guo Xiao looked at his father and looked out the door. Under the eaves of the corridor, the cold wind was dancing with snowflakes, colliding without direction, messy, but there was nowhere to hide under the dim light. The snowflakes fell into the door and gradually piled up a layer. Ashun came in with the freshly warm wine and left two footprints on the thin layer of snow in an instant.

"Go to the yard to guard, and no one is allowed to get within three feet of the upper room." Guo Boyan said lightly.

"Yes." Ashun nodded, retreated out with a serious expression, and stopped three feet away from the front of the door, facing his back to this side.

Guo Boyan turned sideways, picked up the wine pot, poured the two wine bottles on the table nine points. Putting down the wine pot, Guo Boyan picked up one, looked at the eldest son opposite him and said, "This bottle is to pay homage to our ancestors of the Guo family. Without God's blessing, there would be no wealth and glory of our father and son now."

Guo Xiao touched the wine bottle with his father and said seriously: "What my father said is."

The father and son sprinkled the wine on the ground together.

Guo Boyan put down the wine bottle, Guo Xiao stood up and filled it with respectfully again.

Guo Boyan raised the wine bottle, looked up at his son, and smiled and said, "This bottle is for you to respect your father, and celebrate my son's death in the disaster. He will have good fortune in the future."

"Thank you, father." Guo Xiao raised the wine bottle with both hands and raised it all over.

After drinking the bottle, Guo Boyan took the lead and picked up the wine pot. After pouring it all over, he did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked down at the wine pot and said for a while: "Kneel down."

Without saying a word, Guo Xiao lifted up his clothes and knelt in front of his father, and knelt on the beach of wine to worship the ancestors of the Guo family.

Guo Boyan turned his head and looked at his son calmly: "Do you know why you are asking for a father to kneel?"

Guo Xiao lowered his eyes and said, "My son knows that his son is wrong, so it is not an exaggeration to punish him."

At the age of 21, he was a general who had gone to the battlefield and had shed blood. He was a real man. Guo Boyan knew very well that he could no longer force his son to do with his father's majesty. Now they are just men to men, and he can only convince his son with reason. His body was not moving at all. Guo Boyan asked in a deep voice: "Can't let go of that obsession?"

Guo Xiao was silent and made a default.

In the expected answer, Guo Boyan's chest was up and down. After a moment, he leaned on the back of the chair weakly and closed his eyes and said, "You were in danger that day. You could not sit idly by your father, so you promised you something against your will. Now you don't regret it now. You are not alone in your father. You are not alone in your father. There are your grandmother, your mother, younger brothers and sisters, and the entire Duke's Mansion. I can't let the three families of the Guo family be implicated by you, even if it's a front-line possibility."

"Son understand." Guo Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the man on the seat calmly: "If the father can acquiesce his son's heart for Jianing, his son will be content, and there is no need for his father to do anything for me." He never thought of robbing her at all costs. If the price of getting her was destined to suffer from the Guo family, then he would rather give up.

Guo Boyan guessed that his son had other plans, but he couldn't think of any plan for both sides. The son and An An were dead in a dead end. The son had no right to marry his daughter. And without considering the investigation and revenge of the princess of Shou, the son took An An, and took three roads in total after he robbed An An. The first road was to hide An An in the Duke's Mansion, but the Duke's Mansion was full of people and the news was too easy to be exposed. The second road was to hide An An outside, but as long as the son went out to see An An, he would definitely be discovered by those who were interested. The third road was to take An An away and fly away to hide his name, but both of them were good-looking, and they would leave clues wherever they went, unless they hid in the deep mountains and forests overnight and never came out again.

When he had to be together, Guo Boyan could only think of one way, which was that he would arrange for his son to pretend to die first. After his son left disfigured and hidden in his name, he would wait for the opportunity. While Shou Wang took his daughter out, he would design an accident with his own power, which would cause Shou Wang to die in an accident. He would eliminate the powerful person who most wanted to find out his whereabouts of his daughter. At the same time, he would find a body to pretend to die instead of his daughter, and then take his daughter to a remote place.

But this price is too tragic. Just because of his self-harm appearance, Guo Boyan doesn't believe that his son can do something. If his appearance is ruined, how can his son coax An An to be willing to follow him? Guo Boyan forced himself to marry Lin because he had confidence in himself and believed that he could get the heart of Lin. But if he didn't have this confidence, if he was sure that the two of them would be resentful and torture each other, Guo Boyan would definitely not take action.

Guo Boyan did not tell the eldest son what he thought of. He only stated his son's plan to rob the people and threatened the Duke's Mansion. Then he took out two narrow boxes from his arms and handed one to his son.

Guo Xiao took it with both hands and opened the box. There was a dagger inside, with a sharp blade.

Guo Boyan stared at his eldest son and said, "No matter how careful your plan is, as long as you have the possibility of being caught, it will cause a catastrophe to the Guo family. The only thing that father can promise you is not to interfere with your robbery, but before that, you must destroy your appearance and leave the Guo family by pretending to die. From now on, nothing you do has to do with the Guo family."

Guo Xiao looked at the dagger and his breathing gradually became heavy, like a trapped beast in a cage, his eyes flushed, fighting against invisible shackles.

"If you beg me before An'an got married, if you were in danger at that time, you might be able to hide your identity intact, but now she is Princess Shou, and for her father, she has to make this decision." Guo Boyan stared at his son, slowly opened another box, and took out a post, which read the birth date of the eldest son.

"If you can't bear to look, glory, wealth, or ask your grandmother to send a black-haired man in white, then you will completely die of your heart. Make a marriage before the New Year and get a wedding as soon as possible." He handed the birth date to the eldest son, Guo Boyan said sternly, "You choose one of these two paths tonight. If you choose, there will be no room for turning back."

Guo Xiao raised his head, his eyes were overturned, and he did not hide his son's resentment towards his father.

Guo Boyan was unmoved and said, "If you really can leave the Duke's Mansion for An An, don't blame him for abandoning you for your father and for your Duke's Mansion."

Guo Xiao looked at his father in front of him with a ferocious look. His fair face had already turned red and his forehead was exposed, because the two paths his father gave him were dead. He ruined his appearance, and she would never be able to hand over his heart to an ugly and terrifying man. He did not ruin his appearance, and with his father being strictly guarded, he would never have the chance to take action.

If he had known this, he would not have shown it in front of his father the day he was injured!

The young son's expression was even more heartbreaking than the wind and snow outside the door, but Guo Boyan sat in front of his son like a mountain, waiting patiently, and then watched his son's face gradually turn pale. He watched his son slowly lower his dagger and take over the birth date. Everything was as expected, but Guo Boyan could not feel any relief, and he felt that his heart was pressing down on a mountain, extremely heavy.

He picked up two bottles of wine, handed it to his son, and said tiredly: "This third bottle, I wish my son a happy moment."

If his son chooses to disfigure the way, what he respects now is the father-son relationship between the two of them for 21 years.

Guo Xiao did not take the wine, and held his birthday tightly. Guo Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Father, son has the last request."

Guo Boyan stared at his son and said, "You said."

Guo Xiao let go of the wrinkled birth date, his shoulders suddenly relaxed after a while, lowered his eyes, and his voice was changing: "My son can't marry the person he really wants to marry, but he doesn't want to marry one casually. My cousin has been infatuated with me for so many years, and I want to ask the emperor to give him a marriage."

Niece Princess Duanhui?

Guo Boyan frowned instinctively. Princess Duanhui was raised by the emperor and Shufei, and was definitely not a good daughter-in-law. She might cause trouble for her wife when she got married. The only suitable place for her son is that Princess Duanhui has a tough temper and can definitely control her son. Not to mention An An who got married, even if she was a maid, her son would probably not have the chance to steal it.

While hesitating, Guo Boyan thought of the report in charge of the matter, saying that Princess Duanhui ran to Yihexuan to visit her son. She ignored the presence of the servants and threw herself into her arms and cried. The son's heart had already given An An. If other women want to retake it, they must give more. First of all, they must have the same infatuation.

Guo Boyan vaguely saw a glimmer of hope. His wife was a smart man. With him and the grandmother, she was more than enough to deal with a little girl. As long as Princess Duanhui could make her son go back to the wrong path, she would have some minor problems and he wouldn't mind.

"Duanhui is your cousin. If you marry her, you must treat her wholeheartedly, otherwise you will not be able to explain to your aunt." Guo Boyan said with a stern face.

Guo Xiao sneered and looked up at his father: "Don't Father believe me? Do I need to swear again?"

Guo Boyan's face changed drastically. Last time, his son vowed that he would pierce the heart. He was interrupted by him halfway through his vow. In the end, he violated his vow and penetrated his chest with an arrow. This time, Guo Boyan would rather his son continue to lie to him than dare to gamble with the life that his son finally saved.
