After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 8: Kindness is taken for granted

Su Xuanming couldn't persuade Jingniang, so he had to bring Jingniang to the main courtyard to ask for a meeting.

At this time, Gu Nanxi was preparing to eat fruit soup.

"You've come just in time. The best time of the year is when the oranges and tangerines are green and yellow. Whatever soup you want, just order it."

Gu Nanxi's body condition might be due to excessive dieting in previous years, which resulted in a lack of physical fitness. As a result, now, no matter how much Gu Nanxi sleeps or eats, she cannot gain weight.

Lu Mei brought two stools to Su Xuanming and Jingniang: "At the end of autumn, it's the best time to have a bowl of soup. There are orange soup, dried papaya soup, and black plum soup. Which one do you want, young master?"

Su Xuanzheng glanced at Jingniang and saw a red pimple on her face, so he decided for her: "Give me two bowls of black plum soup to cool down the internal heat."

"Okay." Lumei took the maids downstairs, leaving the space for the three of them.

Outside the window, golden dead leaves swirled and fell.

This autumn scenery inevitably reminded Gu Nanxi of the middle school where she worked, where the playground was also lined with sycamore trees.

In autumn, when the wind blows, the leaves of the sycamore trees fall all over the ground. The students on duty are so angry that they swing their brooms into a whirlwind.

Gu Nanxi looked at Su Xuanming and Jingniang again. They were only fifteen or sixteen years old. If it were in their previous life, they should be sitting in the classroom, studying hard.

Gu Nanxi's heart softened for a moment, and she took the initiative to speak: "Jingniang, how about I take you in as my adopted daughter?"

Su Xuanming's eyes widened and he blurted out, "Then what should I do?"

Gu Nanxi was rarely kind-hearted and explained, "Jingniang will be criticized by outsiders for taking on many trivial matters in the mansion. If she has the title of adopted daughter, it will be much better."

Jingniang's tears flowed down in an instant: "Madam, do you disagree with my relationship with Su Lang? I don't want the splendor and wealth of the Marquis's Mansion, I just want to be with Su Lang."

Su Xuanming was deeply moved and expressed his opinion: "Even if she is my stepsister, I will marry Jingniang!"

Gu Nanxi shut up. She originally thought that the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was just a broken ship, and the less person that could get on board the better.

There was nothing that could be done for myself and my children. Given their status, even if I asked to leave the family and even if I kicked my children out of the house, they would still die with me in the end.

As for Jingniang, there is no need for her to jump into this fire pit.

Since they didn't appreciate it, Gu Nanxi didn't force it.

She was too lazy to even save her own life, and she only mentioned it because of the sentimental memory.

"Okay, I understand. Then Jingniang, what do you want?" Gu Nanxi lay down on the bamboo chair again.

This bamboo chair is well-made, with just the right curvature. Lumei also covered it with a thick blanket, making it very comfortable to lie on.

Jingniang looked around, as if she had taken a weight and made up her mind, and said firmly: "I just want Madam to say something certain. After Su Lang finishes mourning, do you agree to let him marry me?"

The loving mother system screamed, "Of course I can't agree! The heroine belongs to the hero! How can she be good to the hero if she marries Su Xuanming? Host, stop her quickly! Scold her to death!"

Gu Nanxi raised her toes and the bamboo chair began to sway. "Agree. As long as you two remain in the same mind when the time comes, I will certainly not break you up."

Respect other people's fate and don't meddle in their affairs.

If the heroine wants to get on this broken ship of Yongchang Marquis Mansion, then let her get on.

Jingniang and Su Xuanming were overjoyed and said goodbye to Gu Nanxi holding hands.

The only people left in the room were Gu Nanxi and the loving mother system in her mind.

The loving mother system is going crazy: "What kind of loving mother are you? If Su Xuanming marries the heroine, he will definitely be severely retaliated by the hero."

Gu Nanxi: "Am I not kind enough? I turned a blind eye to my son's premature love affair. Besides, how else can I take revenge? Grind him to ashes?"

Gu Nanxi couldn't think of any worse outcome than a tragic death.

The loving mother system went crazy: "Gu Nanxi, if it weren't for me, you would have died long ago! You have earned nothing in this life! You have to listen to me."

Gu Nanxi: "Reject PUA, starting with me. Well, I will definitely live a good life in this life."

To be bad is to live well.

The loving mother system was furious: "If the main line collapses, you and I will die."

Gu Nanxi was drowsy: "I know, we'll talk about it later."

Why are you in such a hurry? The sky hasn't fallen yet, has it?

Gu Nanxi acted as if nothing had happened. She slept every day, ordered some food, and listened to Su Yunyan gossiping. Occasionally, when she was in the mood, she would ask someone to go to the market to buy some storybooks.

Su Yunyan handed "The White-Faced Scholar and the Fox Spirit" to Lumei and asked her to continue reading it.

"Mother, Jingniang has been making drastic reforms recently."

"Ok?"

Su Yunyan flipped through the Thirty-Six Stratagems noisily. "She said that the servants in the mansion were corrupt. An egg sold for two cents in the market, but it costs four cents in the mansion."

Gu Nanxi removed the book covering her face and asked, "Anything else?"

"She also said that in order to prevent the servants from being too lazy, performance appraisals should be implemented. Appraisals should be conducted once a month, and maids will be assigned first, second, or third grades based on the performance."

Gu Nanxi: "Is it the same in the whole mansion?"

"Yes, it's the same with Grandmother and Aunt Duan. Grandmother is used to Nanny Xing by her side, so she naturally disagrees."

Gu Nanxi glanced at the servants standing in the yard like wooden figures, and said clearly: "The old lady has been forced back."

Su Yunyan frowned, not finding a way to deal with it in the book: "Auntie Duan said that Jingniang used the money in the mansion to buy people's hearts. Jingniang said that she would pay the servants' monthly wages."

Gu Nanxi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Jingniang wanted to seize power and win people's hearts.

But she didn't know that in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, the job of housekeeper was the most demanding and no one wanted to get involved with it.

"Mother, if Jingniang applies the shop management method to the Marquis' Mansion, will it be effective?" Su Yunyan asked confusedly.

"Don't ask me, use your own eyes to see, use your ears to listen, and use your brain to think. What you think of is yours. What I tell you is just passing clouds." Gu Nanxi stood up and stretched his body.

Even if you want to give up, you must have a strong body to do it. Otherwise, it's not called giving up, it's called standing like a corpse.

After these days of rest, Gu Nanxi's body finally recovered some vitality and was no longer in a state of exhaustion.

Gu Nanxi stretched his body slowly, and after just a few movements, he broke out in a sweat.

Gu Nanxi didn't insist anymore and went back to the house to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Mother, what did you do just now?" Su Yunyan now looked at Nan Xi with a thick filter on her face.

She always felt that every move of Gu Nanxi had a deep meaning.

"Eight-Section Brocade. Women are nourished by blood. Eight-Section Brocade can activate blood and qi and enhance vital energy. You should practice it too." Gu Nanxi taught Su Yunyan in the house.

This child is very smart in some aspects, but his emotional intelligence is frustrating.

"Cough cough cough, Mother, please go and take care of Jingniang. She is trying to force her son to death!" Before she saw anyone, Gu Nanxi heard the heart-wrenching coughing.
