After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 10 Everyone Says Madam Hou Has a Back-up Plan

Su Yunting didn't give Jingniang a chance to refute, he just ran away after scolding her.

The crowd came in large numbers and left in a rush.

In the main courtyard, only Gu Nanxi, Su Yunyan, Su Xuanming and Jingniang were left for a while.

Jingniang straightened her back and tilted her neck, and her stubbornness was revealed from her hair to her toes.

"Ma'am, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Calling them all over here to put pressure on me so that I would back down?"

Jingniang walked slowly to Gu Nanxi, her clear eyes revealing the confidence that "I have seen through the conspiracy".

"Madam, I am never afraid of difficulties. I can stand the pressure and stand out among a group of brothers. Naturally, I am not afraid of the mess in the Marquis' Mansion!"

"From today on, I will cover all the food and servant expenses of the Marquis' Mansion! Even if I have to sacrifice all the money in my family, I will not give up easily!"

Jingniang strode out of the main courtyard like a soldier going to war.

Su Xuanming loved her courageous and resolute character so naturally he followed her.

Su Yunyan, who stayed behind, leaned on Gu Nanxi's knees with worry: "Mother, what should we do? Jingniang is trying to win back a game!"

Gu Nanxi closed her eyes and took a sip of the dried papaya soup. The original owner had a thin body. Even though she gave birth to a daughter and two sons, a certain part of her body was still as flat as an airport.

Drink some papaya soup to nourish yourself.

"Persisting in the wrong direction is what is commonly known as not turning back until you hit the wall." Gu Nanxi said slowly.

Perseverance is a virtue, but perseverance without correct understanding is a stumbling block on the road of life.

There was a boy in Gu Nanxi's class who was very talented in writing. He scored full marks in history and politics, but only in single digits in physics and chemistry.

But he firmly believes that boys should study science, and as long as they study hard, they will be able to improve their science grades.

Unfortunately, reality taught him a lesson.

If he had studied liberal arts, he would have definitely been in the top 10, but he insisted on studying science and didn't even make it to the first-tier line.

Jingniang was just like this boy. She rushed in without even understanding the situation in the Marquis' Mansion.

Su Yunyan opened her innocent eyes and looked at Gu Nanxi with trust: "Mother must have a trick up her sleeve. I don't believe that Jingniang can turn over your five palms!"

Gu Nanxi touched Su Yunyan's hair bun lovingly. This kid's head was full of household intrigues, but she didn't have the IQ to do that.

What backup plan do I have?

The only thing he could do was lie down and let it go.

Anyway, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is a broken ship that is about to sink. What's the big deal if we let Jingniang cause some trouble?

Jingniang's swift and decisive actions caused a strong backlash from the servants in the Marquis' Mansion.

For a time, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was once again on the gossip list of the capital, and became the laughing stock of teahouses, taverns, and tea parties of the upper class.

"Oh my, this is hilarious. Yesterday, Yongchang Hou came to me to buy eggs. He didn't want fresh eggs, but wanted those that were about to go bad."

In the teahouse, a group of merchants were drinking tea together, and during the conversation they couldn't help but talk about the Yongchang Marquis Mansion which was currently in its heyday.

"Isn't this saving you from the dire situation? Your batch of expired goods is about to be used to pickle salted eggs."

The merchant at the head laughed happily, "That's right. They were all sold to the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion for one penny each. So, what's wrong with the Yongchang Marquis's wife? Back then, she was dressed in a gorgeous red dress that shocked the whole capital. Why is she so stingy now?"

His friend handed him a cup of tea and said, "You went out to look for goods and missed several big shows. The eldest son of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was obsessed with the medicinal herb Xishi and made many jokes. The Marquis's wife had no choice but to give the housekeeper power to the medicinal herb Xishi."

The fat businessman was so shocked that he accidentally dropped his teacup on the ground: "Ridiculous! Have they ever hired a matchmaker, exchanged business cards, or discussed marriage?"

“None.”

The fat businessman was shocked: "Even ordinary people wouldn't be so unruly."

"Of course. This herbal medicine lady, as the housekeeper, brought her shop management methods to the Marquis' Mansion."

The fat businessman understood: "No wonder the servants of Yongchang Mansion refused to buy the rotten eggs instead of the good ones. The purchase price of eggs set by Xishi of Chinese medicine is two cents. The servants want kickbacks, so they naturally buy the cheap ones."

"Although the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is not as prosperous as it was in the past, it has also lasted for several generations. The servants in the mansion are basically family-born children. The actions of the medicinal herbs Xishi have made people resentful, and this is why the matter in the mansion has spread widely."

The fat businessman sighed: "Tsk tsk, this is the only noble family with such a poor family."

The businessmen were chatting loudly, and their content was heard by the guests in the private room upstairs.

Among them, there was a private room filled with female relatives.

The young lady of Duke Chengguo picked up a bite-sized Xichuan lactose lion, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it before she slowly opened her mouth.

"I think the wife of the Yongchang Marquis is not as capable as you say. Now, the housekeeper's power has been lost, the reputation of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion has been lost, and the two have not separated."

Mrs. Niu, the general who guards the country, lay lazily on the couch and said calmly, "Just wait and see. The Marquis's wife must have a trick up her sleeve."

The young lady of Duke Ji took a sip of tea and said, "My mother-in-law gave me a thorough analysis last night. Gu Nanxi always thinks ten steps ahead. There is no way this matter can be let go like this."

The young wife of Duke Chengguo did not believe it: "What other tricks can they use? Jingniang is as thick-skinned as a city wall. Even if the whole city is talking about it, it will not stop her from rushing towards this overwhelming wealth. If the Marquis's plan to make her give up is to fail."

The wife of the general stuffed a lactose lion into her hand and said coquettishly, "Let's just watch the show. Anyway, the Yongchang Marquisate is not yours or mine."

Next to the women's room was a group of students from Songshan Academy.

"Brother Xuanming, I heard that the person in your house is your good friend. I guess you have a lot of money." A dashing student waved a fan and glanced at Su Xuanming.

"Brother Shaoyan, this, that, the rules at home have been changed, I may..." Su Xuanming hesitated and did not dare to say it clearly.

A tall and strong student hugged Su Xuanming and said, "Brother Xuanming, you really love to joke. You are just a business woman, but you have the ability to attack the whole Marquis' Mansion? Brother Xuanming must have done something about it. It's brilliant! Really brilliant!"

Several students nearby started to make a noise, and someone called the waiter to take orders: "Give me ten clams and five bowls of quail soup. Bring me one portion of the rest of their specialties."

The servant leaned forward and reminded him quietly, "Sir, at this time of year, clams cost a thousand coins each. A bowl of quail soup requires dozens of quails, so the price is not cheap either."

Su Xuanming was sweating coldly when he heard the servant's words: "Brother Shaoyan, Brother Fatian, we are few in number and cannot eat all that. Would you like to order less?"

Li Shaoyan didn't say anything and closed his eyes for a nap.

The tall and strong Wu Fatian raised his eyebrows: "This is worthy of Brother Xuanming! Servant, serve the dishes."

"Okay, sir." The servant ran downstairs, leaving Su Xuanming holding his purse, feeling helpless and in tears.
