Gu Nanxi was ready to start business at a precise time.

Gu Nanxi opened her eyes slightly and saw a tall young man in mourning standing in front of a beautiful girl, looking at her warily.

Obviously he is the eldest son Su Xuanming.

Gu Nanxi met the girl's gaze. The girl did not dodge but smiled slightly. She fiddled with the hemp rope around her waist with her slender hands, her expression full of determination.

This is the heroine Li Ningjing.

"Sister-in-law, Su Xuanming is so unreasonable! How could he bring a merchant girl to the mourning hall? Has he ever cared about the reputation of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion? Why don't you deal with this matter quickly?" The person who spoke had a bronze complexion, shifty eyes, and his small eyes rolled around. He didn't look like a good person.

He said that he was thinking about the Yongchang Marquisate, but his eyes showed that he was eager to make a big deal out of this matter.

If it were the original owner's temper, seeing the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion being trampled on like this, she would definitely not be able to control her temper and would drive Jingniang out.

It seems that this person is the eldest brother of Marquis Yongchang.

The original owner had only two sons and one daughter. The second son was a sickly child. If the eldest son became disabled, perhaps the title of the marquisate would fall into the hands of the eldest wife.

Alas, I don’t know which god or immortal this Marquis Yongchang has offended. Everyone in his mansion is either villain cannon fodder or someone with ghostly thoughts.

"Mother." The younger daughter Su Yunyan wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally swallowed her words.

Gu Nanxi caught a glimpse of the pure jade hairpin Su Yunyan was wearing in her hair. It was finely carved and looked like a piece of jade worth a ton of gold.

Su Yunyan's monthly salary is only 5 taels, how can she afford this jade hairpin?

Of course, someone will see you off.

Gu Nanxi looked at Jingniang again. Jingniang lowered her head and did not feel disappointed because Su Yunyan did not plead for mercy.

"Cough, cough, cough, mother, life is short. With my body, I'm afraid I can't pass on the inheritance to the Marquis's family. Why don't you let your eldest brother fulfill his wish? Then you can hold your darling grandchildren as soon as possible." The second son, Su Yunting, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed heart-wrenchingly.

He was dressed in plain white, looking simple and frugal, except for the short sword hanging around his waist, which did not look like something from the palace.

He stroked the hilt of the sword gently from time to time, obviously loving the sword very much.

The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion who appeared out of nowhere also spoke calmly: "Daughter-in-law, Xuan Zheng was taken away by me when he was young and raised by me. You have always disliked him. But in such an important event in life, you should still show your motherly love and feel sorry for Xuan Ming."

As the old lady attacked him, Su Xuanming became like a firecracker. His face became darker and darker and he was about to explode.

At the critical moment, Jingniang gently pulled his sleeve.

Su Xuanming actually suppressed his anger, pursed his lips tightly, and looked at Gu Nanxi with fire in his eyes as if he was an enemy.

The guests who were supposed to be paying their respects in the courtyard came in one after another when they saw that there was something good to watch.

Seeing that Gu Nanxi was slow to react, the loving mother system in her mind provoked her, "This heroine gave jewelry to her youngest daughter and a sword to her second son. Your mother-in-law has always been at odds with you. She clearly wants to isolate you! Show off your time-traveling heroine's aura and show her who is the king!"

Gu Nanxi glanced at everyone lazily and hooked her finger at Su Xuanming.

Su Xuanming looked at Jingniang beside him, and when he met her extremely worried eyes, his heart was filled with endless courage.

Su Xuanming walked up to Gu Nanxi with a fearless attitude.

This young man is at least 1.8 meters tall.

Gu Nanxi sat on the stool and had to crane her neck to see his chin.

Gu Nanxi rubbed his sore neck and motioned the boy to squat down.

Su Xuanming hesitated for a moment, but finally squatted down.

"I don't agree." Gu Nanxi said lightly.

Seeing that Su Xuanming was furious and wanted to stand up to confront him, the Kind Mother System was clapping and cheering in his mind, shouting for a fight!

Gu Nanxi then said, "Your second brother's sword and your younger sister's jade hairpin were both given by Jingniang?"

Su Xuanming's expression changed several times. He was a somewhat rigid person and looked down upon gift-giving the most.

But the person who did this was Jingniang, and it was for their marriage, so he could only pretend he didn't see it.

Now, this matter was revealed by his mother, and Su Xuanming was temporarily weakened.

"Ah, well, this, alas, yes." Su Xuanming admitted dejectedly.

A Tibetan mastiff ready to go at any time suddenly becomes a dog in the water.

Gu Nanxi couldn't help but laugh: "You, you."

"Madam, this is all my fault. Don't blame Su Lang, I asked him to do it! The old marquis passed away, Su Lang has no appetite, I just want to accompany him and send the old marquis off."

Jingniang couldn't hear clearly what the mother and son said. She only saw Gu Nanxi say something to Su Xuanming, and Su Xuanming became listless and his momentum dropped instantly.

Jingniang was worried that Su Xuanming would be persuaded by Gu Nanxi, so she didn't care about anything else and knelt down in front of Gu Nanxi.

Most of the guests were mistresses of the house. Whose yard didn't have a few green camellia flowers? From a distance, one could smell the scent.

"The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang is so unlucky. Her husband has a green tea flower in the backyard, and her son wants to marry a green tea flower! I feel so aggrieved for her just thinking about it."

"Luckily, Jingniang got on with Su Xuanming. If she had gotten on with my son, I would have used family rules to break that brat's legs."

The ladies spoke in voices that were neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Jingniang didn't care at all. She had been in charge of the shop for many years and had heard countless gossips. Why would she be angry about this?

What's more, the more these people cursed, the more Su Lang would feel sorry for himself.

Sure enough, after Su Xuanming heard this, he looked at Jingniang with eyes full of guilt.

He also knelt down and said, "Mother, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Jingniang. If you want to beat me or scold me, I will accept it."

Gu Nanxi said weakly: "You are indeed wrong too."

Su Yunyan looked at Gu Nanxi worriedly. Her mother had always been careful with her words and actions, and she paid great attention to her manners. Why was she so out of control now? Was she mad at her brothers?

Gu Nanxi picked up a cup of tea and moistened her lips. Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she slowly spoke: "You know how to please her, but why don't you know how to please me?"

Gu Nanxi tilted her head and looked at Su Xuanming for a while before she suddenly realized, "Could it be that you don't know what your mother likes?"

Su Xuanming was unable to react for a moment. What did A Niang mean by this? Was it a literal meaning, or was she being sarcastic?

Jingniang also restrained her pitiful expression, and became fully alert, waiting for Gu Nanxi to make his big move.

Gu Nanxi motioned Su Xuanming to come closer and whisper: "I'll tell you secretly, there is only one thing I've always been devoted to! That is gold!"

"Huh?!" Su Xuanming scratched his ears in disbelief. Is this still his mother who was so carefree, only drank dew, and thought talking about money was vulgar? !

Gu Nanxi was angry: "Why? My son, whom I raised with great care, would have sold for more than a hundred gold coins even if sold by the kilogram. As a merchant, doesn't she know this? She actually wants to spare my son for nothing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everything fell silent.
