Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Hearing the sound, everyone at the table looked towards the source of the sound.

The person who came was none other than the stepmother Xu of Pingyang Marquis's mansion, followed by Pingyang Marquis and the second son of the Gu family, Gu Yunting.

Jiang Nan looked at the three people who were walking slowly towards him.

He recognized Xu, the woman who killed Gu Yanzhou's mother, at a glance.

Although she is a bit older, she has taken good care of herself and looks no different from the one in my dream.

Looking at her hair full of pearls and jade, her gorgeous clothes and her rosy complexion, it's obvious that she has lived a good life in recent years.

"Mother."

"Mother."

"grandmother."

The three of them greeted the old lady respectfully.

Pingyang Hou Jiang Nan had seen him before. He was the middle-aged man who was waiting for Gu Yanzhou beside the carriage at the palace gate yesterday.

"Judging from the way the young man next to him is dressed and his demeanor, he must be the second son of the Marquis of Pingyang."

"Zhou'er came back specially to see an old woman like me. Do I, an old woman, have to inform you specifically?" The old lady disliked Xu and scolded her angrily when she saw her.

"Mother, that's not what she meant." Pingyang Hou stepped forward to explain.

"Don't be angry, mother. It was my daughter-in-law who didn't think carefully about what she said."

"Zhou'er, it's rare for you to come back, so why don't we have dinner with you today to liven things up."

Xu did not give Madam Gu a chance to refuse. She shamelessly found a seat and sat next to Gu Huixuan.

The three of them sat down and Nanny Li served them bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing that Gu Yanzhou did not stand up, Jiang Nan also sat there without moving, watching what would happen.

"In that case, let's eat together!" said Madam Gu unhappily.

Although he didn't like Xu, his own son and grandson still liked her.

Only after Madam Gu spoke did everyone start eating.

For a moment, no one spoke at the table and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Gu Huixuan lay on the table, his eyes scanning back and forth among the people.

Why does my eldest brother look so cold when father comes? It's so cold that it can freeze someone to death.

Grandmother wasn't too happy either. Something must have happened between them that he didn't know about.

"Mother, Zhou'er is already over 20 years old this year. He used to be a soldier and had no choice but to start a family. I think the only daughter of Song Taifu is good. Song Taifu is also the Taifu of the current eldest prince. She has a promising future."

"This eldest prince is the son of the current emperor and queen. As a mother, I am also very worried about Zhou'er's marriage."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhou looked at Xu with a sneer, "Gu Yunting is the same age as me. Why don't you arrange such a good marriage for him?"

Gu Yanzhou knew clearly in his heart that Xu Shi had no such good intentions.

Although Song Taifu is the Taifu of the eldest prince, his status is respected.

But Taifu Song has only one daughter, and Taifu Song is the only official in the family serving in the court. Is this because they are afraid that he will marry into the court in the future, and the title of Marquis Pingyang will not fall on Gu Yunting?

"You, the eldest brother, haven't gotten married yet. If I want to arrange something for him, I have to follow your lead."

"Okay, you don't need to arrange Zhou'er's marriage anymore. The person next to Zhou'er is his fiancée."

The old lady paused and then continued, "You just need to prepare the dowry and the shop left by Zhou'er's mother, and hand them over to Nan Nan to take care of after they get married."

When Mrs. Xu heard what the old lady said, her smile froze on her face.

It's not so easy to vomit out something that has already been eaten.

Jiang Nan looked at Xu's face which was almost distorted and teased her, so he could only suppress his smile, stood up and nodded to Pingyang Hou Xu.

"I feel relieved now. I wonder which family in the court this young lady is from."

Xu adjusted her facial expression and asked tentatively.

"Nannan's family has just arrived in the capital, and his father is not in the court," Old Lady Gu said specifically to Marquis Pingyang.

He is Zhou'er's father. Even though the relationship between father and son is strained, such a big thing as marriage must be made known to him.

“As long as Zhou’er…” Upon hearing this, Xu was delighted.

"Nonsense," Marquis Pingyang stood up, slapped the table and shouted loudly without waiting for Xu to finish.

"How could you allow yourself to fall? With your status, you have the right to choose any young lady from an aristocratic family, but you chose a woman who has no role to play in your future."

Pingyang Hou's face turned red with anger.

"Then may I ask if Marquis Pingyang married my mother because of his own future and money?" Gu Yanzhou couldn't bear to see Jiang Nan being bullied and retorted immediately.

"You, you, you..." Pingyang Hou was so stunned by Gu Yanzhou's words that he couldn't utter a word.

"Grandma, I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you another day."

After saying that, Gu Yanzhou took Jiang Nan away.

The old lady looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, then looked at Pingyang Hou and Xu in the room, and suddenly she seemed to have aged by dozens of years.

"Rebellious son, a good meal turned into such a mess between you two."

Madam Gu was so angry that she gasped for breath.

"Since Zhou'er has returned and wants to start a family, it's time to finalize the title of Crown Prince. I will personally ask to see the current emperor."

"I'm tired," said Nanny Li, who stepped forward to support Madam Gu into the bedroom.

At this moment, Old Madam Gu looked like an old person in her twilight years. She no longer had the spirit she had when she met Gu Yanzhou and Jiang Nan before.

Zhou'er, this may be the only thing your grandma can do for you.

Old Madam Gu, lying on the bed, looked at the blood in her hands and slowly closed her eyes.

Old Madam Gu had already left the table, and outside the house, Marquis Pingyang could only leave with everyone with a gloomy face.

Xu, who was following behind, glanced at the old lady's bedroom with resentment.

"This old immortal still has this in mind. How is her Yun Ting worse than that little bitch?" Xu's face was full of cruelty.

"Will grandma be sad if we leave like this?" asked worriedly in the carriage, thinking of the expression on Madam Gu's face when she left.

"Don't worry, I'll go back and send someone to check it out."

"I'm sorry, this happened today. It was my fault that I didn't arrange it well," Gu Yanzhou said to Jiang Nan with self-blame.

Jiang Nan reached out and slowly stroked Gu Yanzhou's angular face and said seriously: "This has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to blame yourself. What's more, you are protecting me, and I am not injured."

"I don't want to hear you say sorry again, understand?" Jiang Nan gently rested his head on Gu Yanzhou's forehead.

"Okay," Gu Yanzhou stretched out his hands and hugged Jiang Nan tightly in his arms, put his head on Jiang Nan's shoulder and closed his eyes.

Jiang Nan knew that as long as Gu Yanzhou went back and saw the Xu family living in harmony, the hatred in his heart would be like a thorn, taking root, sprouting and growing infinitely.

Jiang Nan patted Gu Yanzhou's back as if he was comforting a child.

Soon Jiang Nan heard Gu Yanzhou's even breathing.

The man's fresh breath sprayed on Jiang Nan's neck and he felt a wave of itchiness.

But Jiang Nan didn't dare to move for fear of waking him up, so he could only endure it.

"General," when they arrived at the place, Rong Xin lifted the car curtain and opened his mouth, he saw Gu Yanzhou sleeping in their arms.

Rong Xin was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Girl, the general hasn't slept for three days because of his official duties. Why don't you let him..."

"Rong Xin, shut up." Rong Xin's soft voice made the general Gu Yanzhou wake up alertly.
