After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

In the teahouse and tavern, the storyteller arranged the drama "The Mistress of the Marquis's Family Outwits the Vixen" based on Jingniang's nonsense.

"Last time we talked about how the merchant girl Jiaojiao was sent to the Marquis' Mansion by her own father in a sedan chair. Let's continue."

The storyteller slammed the gavel hard to attract the guests' attention.

"Shang Nujiao confronted the Marquis' wife in front of the eldest son and revealed all of the Marquis's long-standing plans."

The guests were bustling.

"If you ask me, the stupidest person is the merchant girl's father. He didn't want to be a good father-in-law, but sent his daughter to be a concubine."

The guests at another table refuted with a sneer, "You are only blinded by wealth and splendor. The Marquis' wife is so resourceful and has such a good heart. If the Shang woman's family doesn't continue to survive, they will probably die without a burial place in the future."

The fat man sitting on the right side said disdainfully: "How can it be so exaggerated? It's just some inner house affairs. How can the Marquis' wife do such a thing?"

The storyteller chuckled and said, "My dear guests, you don't know this. Well, forget it. I can't tell you. I can't tell you."

The storyteller immediately aroused the guests' interest: "What's there to not tell? It's just a story."

"That's right, that's right! I'll give you some money, so just speak up."

Copper coins, mixed with small pieces of silver and banknotes, fell onto the table like rain.

The storyteller laughed so hard that his mouth could not close. He pretended to be stealthy and said, "I will tell you something, and you guests please listen. Don't take this seriously."

"That Marquis's biological father was the god of war of the time. He once led an army of 5000 and went deep into the enemy's territory alone, defeating an enemy army of 3!"

"Madam Hou has been familiar with military books since she was young. When her biological father went out to fight, she was raised by the Empress Dowager and received her training. You say, how can such a woman be an ordinary person?"

The guests were satisfied after hearing the secret and decided to tell it to their families and show it off when they got home.

In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

The young lady of Duke Ji squeezed next to her mother and asked curiously, "Is Gu Nanxi really that capable? If she is so capable, why are none of her children promising?"

The old lady pulled her ear in annoyance and said, "Why have you been asking about Gu Nanxi recently? Well, there are some things I'll tell you, so don't ask about them anymore."

The young wife of Duke Jiguo poured a cup of tea for her mother in a servile manner.

Old Madam: "What the storyteller said is true. This is not a secret. Even the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion relies on Gu Nanxi's dowry to survive, and many people know it."

The young lady of the Duke of Ji suddenly realized: "No wonder you all just laughed and didn't worry at all when the merchant Jingniang took away the housekeeper's power."

The old lady sighed and said, "This is not a deliberate trap set by Gu Nanxi. If the merchant girl had put in a little effort and inquired a little, she would have known about this. Gu Nanxi just followed the trend, and he is quite like his father."

The old lady put down her teacup and said with a sad tone, "Gu Nanxi was so glorious in the past. She was childhood sweethearts with the late emperor and was the crown princess in everyone's eyes. Unfortunately, General Gu died in battle and the marriage was snatched away by the current queen mother."

"The Queen Mother was worried that the late Emperor would take Gu Nanxi into the harem, which would create a powerful enemy for her. So she took advantage of the time when the late Emperor was away on a campaign to marry Gu Nanxi to Su Yanting, the current Marquis of Yongchang."

"At that time, the Yongchang Marquisate had already fallen, and Su Yanting was only the second son, without a title. Everyone in the capital knew that the Yongchang Marquisate had no money."

"The late emperor returned victoriously and learned that his beloved had married someone else. He was furious and sent Su Yanting to the army."

The old lady shook her head and laughed, "Su Yanting is also a stubborn guy. He knew the affair between the late emperor and Gu Nanxi, but he still had two children in three years and three children in five years with Gu Nanxi."

"This made the late emperor angry. When Gu Nanxi just got pregnant with Su Yunyan, he demoted Su Yanting to the border and forbade him to return to the capital for ten years."

The young lady of the Duke of Jiguo didn't know whether to sympathize with Gu Nanxi or admire her at this moment: "That's why she endured it for so many years. It wasn't until the death of the late emperor that she dared to..."

The old lady looked at the steam rising from the teacup and sighed, "I thought that after ten years or so, her pride had worn away. She was just a backyard woman like us. Unexpectedly, her methods became more and more sophisticated. Even though we all know that she did it, we can't find any fault with her."

The young lady of the Duke of Ji said sourly, "She was so good in the beginning? Why did so many people miss her so much?"

"That's not the case. Later, the late emperor had forgotten about her, but she was just cautious by nature. Now, she is even better than before, like a fine wine that has been mellowed by time."

The old lady exclaimed: "If the late emperor were still alive, he would not let go of Gu Nanxi like this."

The young wife of Duke Jiguo snorted in dissatisfaction: "Don't men love fifteen or sixteen-year-old beauties? How can they look down on us thirty-year-old middle-aged ladies?"

The old lady tapped her forehead and said, "Experience can transform a man, and similarly, it can make a woman fragrant and charming. Men love delicate flowers because the harem has made you two into the same mold."

The young wife of Duke Jiguo was not convinced: "Gu Nanxi is different? With such means, men must be afraid of her like a tiger, right?"

"Silly child, if it was a concubine like her, men would naturally not like it. But if it was the mistress of the house, who wouldn't be happy? Men are the most realistic."

The same conversation was happening in many noble families.

Even Su Yunyan, who had finally managed to go out, was teased by the ladies.

"Yunyan, you will be a completely different person in the future. Your mother has given you the power of housekeeper. I'm afraid she wants to really train you."

Su Yunyan stamped her feet in shame and said, "It's just a small matter, why are you making such a fuss about it? You have already started learning how to be the head of the family, but you still want to tease me."

The second daughter of the Duke of Jiguo laughed and said, "We are different. My mother is not as powerful as your mother."

"That's true." Su Yunyan grinned happily, "But how did you know that my mother is so powerful?"

The second daughter of the Duke of Jiguo said angrily, "Who doesn't know? You are really stupid. Your mother is so powerful. She made the late emperor hang on her heart for more than ten years, but you didn't reveal anything. You are so mean!"

The other friends also followed suit: "That's right! Your mother has such means, no wonder she's not afraid of that merchant woman."

Su Yunyan was stunned when she heard the sisters chattering.

What? !

Such an awesome woman turned out to be my mother?

Moreover, A-niang’s charm remains undiminished, and now she has captivated a bunch of old men in their twenties and thirties?

Su Yunyan was confused, but her mother was just eating and drinking in the yard and was too lazy to even come out the door!

Could this also be one of A Niang’s plans?
