Wei Anning listened quietly, knowing this was just Father Gong's opening remark.
Father Gong continued, "The marriage alliance between the Duke Mansion and the Gong Family, I originally did not think much of this marriage, but Gong Ting is determined. He said if he can't marry you in this lifetime, it doesn't matter who he marries."
"For his happiness, I am willing to take a risk, to use the entire strength of the Gong Family to support you to ascend."
Wei Anning felt a sudden shock in her heart upon hearing this. Gong Ting's feelings for her, she has been unable to reciprocate all her life, "Uncle, I have no ambition to become the ruler of a country, you don't need to wager the future of the Gong Family on me."
Father Gong squinted his eyes, staring dangerously at the stubborn woman in front of him, "Ningning, do you know what a marriage alliance means? It means that the Duke Mansion and the Gong Family have become a community of interests, to share honor and disgrace together."
