After receiving the jade pendant from Li Decai, the corners of Gu Yunyan's mouth curled up wildly, and she couldn't hide the smugness on her face.

"Well, since you are so sincere, I will accept it with reluctance." Gu Yunyan said, and quickly put the jade pendant back into her arms.

After putting away the jade pendant, she looked at Li Decai and said, "Then please ask them to leave. I have to go home."

When she got such a good jade pendant, the first thing she wanted to do was go home and ask her father if the jade pendant was valuable. She wanted to pawn the jade pendant for money!

Li Decai smiled with a flattering look on his face and quickly shouted at Li San, Li Si and Li Wu: "Didn't you hear what the girl said? Get out of the way!"

After hearing this, Li San, Li Si and Li Wu let Gu Yunyan go.

Gu Yunyan had a smooth journey and returned home.

She didn't know that when she was returning home, Li Decai, together with Li San, Li Si and Li Wu, quietly followed her all the way and watched her walk into Lao Gu's house.

Li San, Li Si and Li Wu also went to the village to inquire and found out that Gu Yunyan was the daughter of the second son of the Gu family and was still unmarried.

After finding out everything, the master and his servants walked slowly towards the town.

On the way, Li San asked slyly, "Master, are we going according to the original plan?"

The so-called original plan was that Li Decai gave the personal jade pendant to Gu Yunyan, and Gu Yunyan accepted the jade pendant as a token of love, and when the Li family sent a matchmaker and a sedan chair over, they would take Gu Yunyan to the Li family.

Although Li Decai had not yet married, he already had more than a dozen concubines. Every time he was patrolling the fields and saw some pretty girls in the village, he would use this trick to trick them into becoming his concubines.

If the girl refused, he would falsely accuse her of stealing his jade pendant and have people from the government office arrest her.

Each time, the girls eventually gave in.

When the parents of some girls heard that he was the son of the rich man Li, they agreed immediately without saying anything and were willing to marry their daughters to him as concubines.

Time and time again, Li Decai became more and more courageous.

This time, he happened to see Gu Yunyan buying fish by the river. He thought Gu Yunyan was pretty and started to have ideas about her.

Li Decai smiled cunningly and replied, "Of course, Li San, when you get back later, go find a matchmaker to come to the old Gu family. In three days, the young master will take in sixteen concubines."

Li San nodded hurriedly and complimented, "Oh, congratulations, young master! Congratulations, young master!"

"Congratulations, young master! Congratulations, young master!" Li Si and Li Wu also said quickly.

"The young master is so amazing. There is no woman that he cannot get!"

Li Decai raised his chin and felt very proud when he heard the compliments from his servants.

After returning home, Li San did the same as before. He went to find the matchmaker and asked her to go to the old Gu family to propose marriage and take Gu Yunyan as his concubine.

At this time, Gu Yunyan returned home, handed the fish to Grandpa Gu, and said, "Grandpa, I bought the fish. I spent all the copper coins you gave me."

Mr. Gu was stunned. He didn't take the fish. Instead, he said, "What are you doing for me? I bought the fish and processed and cooked it."

Gu Yunyan was a little surprised, looking at the grass carp in her hand, which was still dripping with water and emitting a fishy smell in the house.

Asking her to kill the fish? She looked at the smooth fish back and the fish bones that would prick her hand, and she couldn't help but retreat.

"No, Master, you want me to kill the fish? I, I don't know how. I have never killed a fish before." Gu Yunyan looked embarrassed.

Old Master Gu's face darkened and he felt very unhappy. How come this granddaughter didn't look like Yun Xi and Yun Le at all?

In the past, when I asked Yun Xi and Yun Le to do something, they would do it immediately without saying a word.

Now after a comparison, he realized that Gu Yunyan was really terrible!

But now, in front of Wu's family, Mr. Gu couldn't just scold Gu Yunyan, so he had to take the fish himself, planning to kill it first and then cook it for Gu Yunyan.

After Mr. Gu left, Gu Yunyan immediately took out the jade pendant she had obtained from Li Decai from her arms.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle, take a look at this jade pendant. Is it valuable?"

Gu Yunyan's face was full of anticipation as she watched her father take the jade pendant and play with it, then pass it to her uncle.

Wu Xiong was a businessman and had some knowledge of jade. When he saw it, he immediately asked, "Hey, Yunyan, where did you get this jade pendant?"

"This jade pendant has a warm color, a fine texture, and is transparent. It feels comfortable to the touch. It is worth at least twenty taels of silver!"

"Hiss! Is this, this jade really worth so much money?" Gu Laoer exclaimed.

Wu Xiong nodded and asked, "Yun Yan, where did you get this jade?"

Gu Yunyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the jade pendant given to her by the fat man was worth so much money!

I don't know who that fat guy is. Why is he so generous? If I had known earlier, I would have asked him who he was.

Gu Yunyan was a little annoyed and shook her head, "I don't know who he is. I just went to buy fish and met him on the road. He was fat. He and his servants almost bumped into me, so they apologized to me and gave me this jade pendant as compensation."

"Oh, could he be a young master from a wealthy family? Those young masters are always generous and their families are not short of money." Yao guessed immediately.

"Yunyan, do you still remember what that young man looked like? Besides being fat, how tall was he?"

Gu Yunyan was stunned. Why was her aunt asking about that person?

However, she still thought about it carefully and described what she saw.

The more Yao listened, the more surprised she became. She slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you're talking about the young master Li from the rich man Li's family who married fifteen concubines, Li Decai, right?"

"Is there a big mole at the corner of his mouth?" Yao asked, pointing at the corner of her mouth.

Gu Yunyan nodded, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked hurriedly, "Aunt, is this, is that fat guy the young master Li from the wealthy Li family, Li Decai?"

Everyone in Jihu Town has heard of Li Decai's reputation, not only because Mr. Li is wealthy and has a lot of land distributed in various villages, but also because of Li Decai's own reasons.

Li Decai is the only son of the rich man Li. He has not even married a wife yet, but he has already married fifteen concubines. This matter has become a topic of conversation after dinner in the entire Jihu Town.

Yao knew it, and Gu Lao Er and Wu naturally knew it too.

Hearing what Yao said, Wu's face changed immediately. Looking at the jade pendant in Wu Xiong's hand, she hurriedly said, "Brother, this, this jade pendant cannot be taken!"

"Everyone knows that Master Li is a worthless person. He just bumped into Yunyan. Why did he give Yunyan such a valuable jade pendant?"

"No, no, brother, you have to think of a way to help Yunyan return the jade pendant to Master Li."

Although Mrs. Wu liked money, she was also clear-headed and knew what she could accept and what she could not accept. For example, the jade pendant that Young Master Li gave to Yun Yan could not be accepted!

If you accept it, you will be in big trouble!
